Chương 107: The Chosen One

Fang Yang stood in the center of the torrent of fate, yet the great power of fate could not touch his body in the slightest, as it was kept outside by his Great Luo Dao Fruit.

Various supernatural powers and deities swirled and danced around him, and the aura of the three thousand laws converged on him alone. These supernatural powers and deities were eventually unified by the Four Symbols Dharma Body, and the three thousand laws merged into the four fundamental elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, ultimately transforming into the law runes of the Dao of the Origin of Heaven and Earth.

Between heaven and earth, a phantom Great Dao River appeared, encompassing all heavens and suppressing all paths. The aura of the Great Dao River descended, causing even Great Luo Golden Immortals to change color.

The three Holy Mothers, Jinling, Wudang, and Guiling, were genuinely happy for Fang Yang. With this surge of improvement, the Jie Sect would surely stand out at the top of the Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference.

Fang Yang's fellow students were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes.

Fang Yang's future is their future. They have already envisioned themselves cultivating to become Great Luo and breaking through to the peak of Great Luo.

Fang Yang's enemies and rivals were not very happy.

Daoist Ran Deng felt as if his mouth was filled with bitter Chinese medicine: "Peak of the Great Luo realm. I've listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace and cultivated diligently for countless years, yet I've only reached this level. He actually leaped from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm to this level in a single day. He's not human, he definitely isn't human!"

The Burning Lamp Daoist simply couldn't accept it. He was a primordial saint, how could he be surpassed by a junior time and time again?

At the last Xuanmen Daoist Conference, he thought he could rely on his profound experience to defeat Daoist Duobao and Grand Master Xuandu, thus establishing his authority as a senior figure.

Unexpectedly, Daoist Duobao's Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying made him question his existence.

This time, even more junior members of the Xuanmen Sect broke through to the peak of the Great Luo realm at this Xuanmen Dao Conference. Golden Spirit Mother, Crimson... Heaven knows how terrible the Burning Lamp Taoist felt when he saw the cultivation levels of these two people.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, not only did Jinling Shengmu and Chi break through to the next level, but Fang Yang suddenly appeared, making Daoist Ran Deng so angry he almost vomited blood.

Of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace, everyone could become a quasi-saint, except for him.

"No, I don't believe in fate! I, Randeng, am determined to defy destiny!"

The Taoist Ran Deng looked like a bulging pufferfish, glaring angrily in Fang Yang's direction, secretly making a decision in his heart.

The great Luos of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect cursed them as "demons" in their hearts.

They were very unhappy with Fang Yang's continuous breakthroughs. They felt that Fang Yang only needed to show his strength slightly when he became a Great Luo, and that it was too much of a bullying to break through to the peak of Great Luo.

On the debating platform, Fang Yang did not continue to challenge them. He withdrew all his magical power, bowed to the various sages, and returned to the Jie Sect's camp. As soon as he returned to the Jie Sect's camp, he heard the voice of the Tongtian Sect Master.

"You have mastered the Daoist arts I taught you well. However, using the River of Destiny for cultivation is too unorthodox. After your breakthrough, you should focus on consolidating your cultivation and not be greedy for quick results, lest you damage your foundation."

"Your disciple will respectfully follow your teachings."

Fang Yang understood the meaning of the Tongtian Sect Master. He didn't continue challenging him because his internal magical power was boiling, and he needed time to adapt to his rapidly increasing cultivation level.

From the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm to the peak of the Daluo realm, his cultivation increased by more than a hundredfold. If it weren't for the Daluo Golden Immortal's characteristic of eternal proof, his cultivation might have been unstable.

Fang Yang's temporary withdrawal brought a sigh of relief to all parties involved.

If Fang Yang continues to stay on the Dao Debate Platform, where will they find the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities? As for those who are capable of fighting Fang Yang, they each have their own agendas.

All the Great Luo Immortals wanted to stand out at the conference and receive rewards from the Sages. At the last Dao Discussion Conference, the Sages brought out numerous innate spiritual treasures. Those who received innate spiritual treasures as rewards experienced a surge in their cultivation.

Fang Yang had no time for such distracting thoughts. After sitting down, he calmed his mind and began to adapt to his newly increased cultivation level.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the vast aura of the peak of the Great Luo realm around him slowly receded. The originally surging magical power gradually subsided, and the runes of the Dao of the Origin of Heaven and Earth gently flowed around him.

He and I cultivated three thousand laws. Although we only scratched the surface of a large part of them, it would still take considerable effort to fully digest these laws and integrate them into the fundamental Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Fang Yang calmed his mind and slowly organized his cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Ran Deng and the others were overjoyed. They had said that it was impossible for Fang Yang to break through so quickly without any hidden dangers; it turned out that Fang Yang had not yet fully mastered his cultivation.

But soon, the cunning and shrewd Daoist Ran Deng realized that he had missed a good opportunity.

He should have attacked Fang Yang while Fang Yang's cultivation was still unstable. Fang Yang was most vulnerable in that state. Now that Fang Yang was sitting behind the Tongtian Sect Leader to consolidate his cultivation, challenging him now might just earn him the Tongtian Sect Leader's "favor."

Thinking of this, Daoist Ran Deng became unhappy again. He could only pray that Fang Yang would not be able to master his cultivation level before the next match; otherwise, he would probably have another formidable opponent.

Sitting behind Fang Yang, Daoist Qianyao was secretly alarmed.

When Fang Yang first sat down, his magical power surged violently. The mere leakage of his magical power almost suffocated Daoist Qian Yao. However, not long after Fang Yang sat down, the fluctuations of his magical power became much calmer.

This phenomenon indicates that Fang Yang is rapidly returning to his original state. Before long, Fang Yang will be able to fully digest his extraordinary cultivation.

Fang Yang was able to do this entirely thanks to the Yin-Yang Two Elements Gourd.

The Yin-Yang Gourd can divide Yin and Yang, and evolve into the Four Symbols. Fang Yang first used the Yin-Yang Gourd to cleanse his magical power, allowing it to flow separately, and then returned it to the original Dao of Heaven and Earth.

This approach saved Fang Yang a lot of trouble.

While Fang Yang was sorting out his cultivation, he was also trying to comprehend the fortune he had obtained.

This fortune is not the fortune of Heaven, but the fortune of humanity.

The Heavenly Dao's fortune is innate, arising at the very birth of Heaven and Earth. All living beings who attain the Dao fruit, whether it be the Dao fruit of a Celestial Immortal or the Dao fruit of a Sage, will be bestowed with the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

Why is it that those who feed on birds and beasts, which are not yet sentient, incur no karma, but those who feed on immortals who have cultivated themselves into immortals will be burdened with karma by the Heavenly Dao?

The reason is that beings who have cultivated to the Dao have all been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Killing a being recognized by the Heavenly Dao is a violation of the Heavenly Dao's rules, and the Heavenly Dao's rules will then bring down punishment.

Human destiny differs from the destiny of Heaven; it is cultivated from civilization.

For example, if a powerful being creates a cultivation system and establishes a lineage based on it, then when this lineage grows strong, it will generate the fortune of humanity.

The fortunes of immortals, demons, ghosts, Confucians, and so on, all fall under the category of human fortunes.

The fortune that Fang Yang obtained was the seed of immortal fortune.

Fang Yang's act of defeating a Daluo Golden Immortal while still a Taiyi Golden Immortal earned him the approval of the Immortal Dao's destiny. Thus, the Immortal Dao's destiny planted a seed in Fang Yang, making him the chosen one of the Immortal Dao's destiny.

"The chosen one of destiny... I've actually become the chosen one of destiny for the immortal path. Duobao is the future chosen one of the Buddhist path. Could it be that it was preordained that I would be his enemy?"

As Fang Yang's thoughts raced, he once again felt the unfathomable depths of fate.
