Chương 79: Projecting the Heavens

The moment Fang Yang mastered the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, his destiny underwent a dramatic transformation. The destiny of the Jie Sect began to surge wildly towards his own, seeking to merge with it and become inseparable.

This is because the foundation of the Jie Sect's existence is the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, and Fang Yang has gained the recognition of the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, thus the Jie Sect's fortune has recognized Fang Yang.

However, this is not a good thing.

As a disciple of the Jie Sect, it's normal for Fang Yang to have a connection with the sect's destiny. However, Fang Yang's destiny is only connected to, not integrated with, the sect's destiny.

If Fang Yang's destiny and the destiny of the Jie Sect were to completely merge, then Fang Yang and the Jie Sect would form a situation where "the Jie Sect prospers, Fang Yang prospers, the Jie Sect is destroyed, and Fang Yang dies."

This is not the situation Fang Yang wanted to see.

Fang Yang is willing to do his best to save the Jie Sect, as it is his responsibility, but he cannot bring himself to sacrifice himself for the sect.

In Fang Yang's heart, his own life was the most important thing.

As long as he is alive, even if the Jie Sect is destroyed, he will try to rebuild it. Conversely, if he is gone, everything in the myriad worlds will be irrelevant to him.

Fang Yang is not a great person. He wouldn't refuse to do something for the benefit of all people within his capabilities; but he can't be a hero, he doesn't have that kind of high level of moral awareness.

Fang Yang immediately activated the profound technique to restrain his own fortune and prevent it from sinking into the fortune of the Jie Sect.

He knew that his actions might change his image in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader. However, he couldn't risk his life to win the Tongtian Sect Leader's favor.

Fang Yang is not the kind of person who would rather suffer than save face. He would rather lose face than suffer.

However, Fang Yang still underestimated the power of destiny.

Fang Yang's cultivation was insufficient; he couldn't comprehend the Dao of Destiny at all. Under the impact of the Jie Sect's destiny, Fang Yang's destiny crumbled completely, and he couldn't recover it.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was ultimately an enlightened sage; he was neither a feudal monarch nor a feudal patriarch. Seeing Fang Yang entangled in the Jie Sect's fortune, he couldn't help but frown.

The Tongtian Sect Leader knew best how chaotic the fate of the Jie Sect was. Even he had not tied his own fate to that of the Jie Sect.

The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't make any big moves; he simply stretched out his right palm and gently wiped the void in front of him.

In an instant, the fortune of the Jie Sect, like a dog being petted by its owner, quickly became docile. The fortune that had been entangled with Fang Yang lost its offensive power and slumped limply into the sea of fortune.

When a sage takes action, it's just as ordinary as that.

Fang Yang broke free from the entanglement of the Jie Sect's fortune and knew that it was the Tongtian Sect Leader who had made a move. He withdrew his magic power and bowed in the direction of the Tongtian Sect Leader, saying, "Thank you, Master, for saving me."

However, he was still somewhat uneasy. In the eyes of most people, what he had done was a heinous act.

To be able to merge one's own destiny with that of the Jie Sect should be an unparalleled honor. Fang Yang's refusal of this honor is tantamount to harboring disloyalty towards the Jie Sect.

The Tongtian Sect Leader noticed Fang Yang's unease, but he remained silent. He had already stepped in to help Fang Yang suppress the Jie Sect's fortune; if Fang Yang still couldn't grasp his meaning, then Fang Yang had far too little faith in his master.

Fang Yang did not disappoint the Tongtian Sect Leader in the end; in a short while, Fang Yang figured out the key to the matter.

He felt uneasy because he had done something wrong. However, after the Tongtian Sect Leader showed his attitude, Fang Yang no longer felt guilty.

Fang Yang has already comprehended the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, and the greatest characteristic of the Dao of Intercepting Heaven is its inclusiveness.

Practicing the Way of Intercepting Heaven does not necessarily require sacrificing one's own life. Within the Intercepting Sect, one can seize a glimmer of hope for all beings; outside the Intercepting Sect, is it impossible to do so?

According to the Tongtian Sect Leader, some disciples within the Jie Sect are not as good as the younger generation of other forces!

Having mastered the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, Fang Yang's cultivation entered the next stage, and he began to work on perfecting his innate grand formation.

Splash!

A magnificent river of destiny appeared above Fang Yang's head. Fang Yang stood eternally on the present world of this river of destiny. The torrent of destiny crashed against him, washing away countless projections of himself and others, but it could never shake him.

When Fang Yang broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he planted an anchor point in the River of Destiny. With this anchor point, even the mighty power of destiny could not erase Fang Yang's authenticity.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that Fang Yang was about to enter the River of Destiny, his sermon paused. Without being able to discern Fang Yang's thoughts, the Tongtian Sect Leader was also curious about what Fang Yang was going to do.

Fang Yang's strength has already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and he has even cultivated the Undying Demon God Technique to its peak. If he continues to cultivate, he will achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm with his physical body.

The Tongtian Sect Leader knew that Fang Yang would not use his physical body to attain the Great Luo realm.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal is a one-time, eternally proven immortal. Whether one proves the Dao with their primordial spirit or their physical body, their realm will break through once they have proven the Dao.

Fang Yang could only break through to the early stage of the Great Luo realm using his physical body.

If Fang Yang follows the cultivation method he provided and accumulates experience over a period of time, he will be able to break through to the peak of the Great Luo realm in one fell swoop and catch up with Daoist Ran Deng, Daoist Duo Bao, and Grand Master Xuan Du.

Fang Yang's choice is obvious.

Therefore, the Tongtian Sect Leader wanted to see what other cultivation plans Fang Yang had.

Fang Yang stood on the River of Destiny, his own will constantly radiating outwards. All his insights, including those related to the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques, and the Undying Demon God Technique, were contained within his will.

His body surface shone with a dazzling golden light of merit.

The golden light of merit protected his thoughts, allowing them to break through the storm of fate and enter countless times and spaces in the past and future.

"Is he projecting the heavens?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader could see through the past and future at a glance. He saw that Fang Yang's will reached all of time and space, found all of us, and transmitted his understanding and insights into cultivation to us. In exchange for these insights, he persuaded us and took over our bodies.

Like Fang Yang, they are all cultivation fanatics. With so many principles and insights being shared with them, they certainly wouldn't refuse.

Through this method, Fang Yang accomplished the extraordinary feat of projecting the heavens.

Fang Yang's magical power couldn't reach the infinite level, but his thoughts could. His will was divided into countless parts, projected into countless versions of himself in endless space and time.

After Fang Yang entered these dimensions, his projection traveled to the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and the stars in the heavens, to comprehend the Daoist principles of mountains, rivers, oceans, and the stars.

Fang Yang stood above the East China Sea, feeling the ocean's breath. When the waves crashed down, he didn't avoid them, but instead entered the waves to have close contact with the ocean's power.

Some Fang Yang climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, standing amidst the mountains, embracing them as if trying to merge himself into Kunlun.

Some of the Fang Yangs appeared among the stars in the heavens, collecting information about each star and recording its various parameters.

......

"So you intend to use the projections within the heavens to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and perfect your natal array. Then let me see what kind of array you can create!"

Having seen through Fang Yang's intentions, everyone was quite looking forward to the formation set up by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Although he had many disciples, not many of them truly inherited his array formation techniques. Only one, Fairy Yunxiao, could satisfy him.

He had seen the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation; its power was extraordinary, many times stronger than the Ten Deadly Formations or the Heavenly Fire Plague Locust Formation.
