The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1098: ”Blood Shadow” Destiny_2

The Skill differs from cultivation methods in that it is an extraordinary trait imprinted deep within the bloodline and soul, less restricted by outside influences. Even if one encounters tribulation and falls, needing to re-enter reincarnation, cultivation realm, mastery of cultivation methods and magic cannot be carried over, but the Skill can follow them into the next life.

Besides, there is another problem that cannot be ignored!

Most of the cultivation methods and Skills Shen Mo possesses have been used to consolidate the Chaotic Yuan Dharma Phase, with only a few Skills like ”Blood Shadow” yet to be integrated into the Dharma Phase.

If he were to consolidate a large number of cultivation methods, Skills, and magical martial arts into a Special Destiny without even forming a Dharma Phase, it would severely delay his cultivation!

All of this has led to Shen Mo, at this stage, having no intention to use the Destiny Disc to consolidate a Special Destiny.

He estimates that when the Divinity Era ends and he can no longer use Immortal Dao Cultivation, he might consolidate all extraordinary traits into a Special Destiny, wearing them all behind him, still able to roam freely in the Cosmic Ruins of the universe.

Over the years, as his cultivation level has elevated, he has some speculations about the origin of the Destiny Panel, and the new changes in the Destiny Disc now further verify his conjecture.

Many characteristics exhibited by the Destiny Panel seem somewhat like the Great Path rules, possibly a condensation of the Great Path from a previous Era before the Divinity Era!

The Special Destinies in the Destiny Pool are likely the extraordinary traits left behind by generations of prior host seniors after their demise over countless ages;

Some may have fallen before the Era’s end, some may have condensed all their extraordinary traits into Special Destinies and wandered for a long time after the Era’s end, but eventually ended up falling... These extraordinary traits were preserved by the Destiny Panel, manifesting in the form of Immortal Dao techniques under the Divinity Era, for him to draw upon!

Shen Mo has a premonition that once he perishes and his Dao dissipates, the Destiny Panel will depart, searching for a new host.

Whether or not he consolidated his extraordinary traits into Special Destinies during his lifetime, upon his demise, the cultivation methods, magic, martial arts, Skills, Sword Path, mastery of elixir, talisman, artifact, and formation, etc., will be forcefully consolidated into distinct Special Destinies, entering the Destiny Pool for subsequent Destiny Panel hosts to extract!

Of course, by then, he would probably be utterly scattered, with no chance of reincarnation, and wouldn’t care about these minor details.

This also reminds him that even though he bears the Destiny Panel, even as the ”Master of Heavenly Fate,” he can still fall under successive tribulations!

Instead, beings like Lord Blue Venerable, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, and Nature Gods have survived through one Era after another, existing from their respective Eras until now, still trying to seize Immortal Dao and create an era of their own once again.

”True Immortals may fall, the Immortal Realm will wither, even the Divinity Era will end... just achieving True Immortal is far from enough!”

In the beginning, Shen Mo thought that becoming a True Immortal would mean undying and undestroyable existence.

But this is only relative; True Immortals may no longer be shackled by Lifespan, yet they are not eternally unbroken, still facing various calamities and mishaps.

Moreover, in a very distant future, one must face the Era Calamity Count, by that day, forget about the True Immortal Realm strong ones, even the Eighth Da Luo Golden Immortal have a chance to fall with the withering of the universe and the end of the Divinity Era!

Now, even though Shen Mo has not yet achieved True Immortal, he has already set his sight further ahead.

...

Nine Heavens Realm, Wang Village.

Jiang Yingying consumed the last Creation Immortal Pill, then felt the enhancement of her Talent.

She had three Creation Pills in total, which Chen Mengze had spent slaying god duties to have Guan Ling deliver to her... Chen Mengze hoped she would continue on the Immortal Path!

”I’m afraid I might disappoint Mengze’s expectations!” Jiang Yingying stopped her breathing exercises, sighed deeply.

After taking the three Creation Pills successively, her cultivation Talent indeed improved somewhat, but the augmentation was not significant. Aspiring to achieve Formless still wasn’t easy; instead, her progress in God Path cultivation was swift.

In just a few decades, Jiang Yingying had established her divine court, advancing to a Class IV Deity, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator!

However, for further advancement, she needed more prayer power, which is essentially the collective wish power of all beings, to perfect her divine court, and such wish power derives from disciples’ prayers.

Within the Nine Heavens Realm, there are as many as eight hundred Class VII Nature Deities possessing True Immortal Realm strength, with the weakest equivalent to a Ghost Immortal. Naturally, beings in the realm primarily worship these mighty Nature Deities, rather than worship a minor deity who is not even considered strong among the past ”fake gods” like her!

Fortunately, Jiang Yingying previously served as an Elder in the Long Eared God faction, garnering considerable connections and prestige, so over the years, she gradually developed over ten thousand disciples within Qing Country.

However, these tens of thousands of disciples do not exclusively worship her, instead also honoring the Empyrean Fairy and other Nature Gods, meaning the wish power from their prayers is insufficient for her to refine to a higher realm!

Many cultivators who transitioned to God Path in the Nine Heavens Realm face similar dilemmas as hers.

Ultimately, they opt to travel to other worlds or return to their original worlds, to broadly gather disciples and perfect their God Path.

After all, the Nine Heavens Realm was originally a Cosmic Ruins with no nature’s spiritual energy present. Although it has begun restoring under the joint repair of the Empyrean Fairy and the universe’s will, the Spiritual Qi remains very sparse.

Precisely because of this, aside from the Human Race, other Vermilion Scaled Feathered Beings have not developed gnosis, unable to offer a shred of prayer power!

However, in other worlds with dense Spiritual Qi, not only does there exist numerous immortal and mortal humans, but there are also countless non-human entities, which, once enlightened, can become disciples of the Gods and provide a continuous stream of wish power for them. Hence, many cultivators like her often choose to leave the Nine Heavens Realm after establishing their divine court.

Yet, this path is not easy either.

Places dense with nature’s spiritual energy, where the Immortal Path flourishes greatly, also mean many strongholds of the Immortal Path have already established a strict order, either being under the protective wing of the immortal strong like Jade Spring Mountain, or like the lively bustling of demons and humans on the Corpse Mountain Range of old, seemingly chaotic but with its unique order!

Whichever place one goes to, attempting to extensively gather disciples and enhance their God Path inevitably disrupts the established order, making it easy to be regarded as heretical and destroyed by local powerful beings;

Over these years, among Jiang Yingying’s acquaintances, fifty or sixty have already perished!

After much contemplation, she finally made up her mind.

Through the phantom of Death Jaw in her Mind Sea, she contacted Guan Ling and requested Guan Ling to send her back to Five Dragon Mountain.

...

Longevity Hall.

”Sect Master, she is the newly born Water God of the Jinlu River, her nature is relatively gentle, willing to acknowledge our Red Flame Sect as paramount, assist the sect to manage the waterways, regulate the water energy, and fight against demons within the Jinlu River region!”

Cao Ren led a translucent, water-like creature, standing before Shen Mo, reporting to him.

The transparent water mass slowly undulated, gradually forming into the shape of a large fish, a form of the Red-tailed Carp, the most populous species within the Jinlu River.

Seeing this, Cao Ren sighed and gave a heavy pat on the Red-tailed Carp’s head.

Soon after, the water mass transformed again into the shape of the True Dragon, now holding a seven to eight part resemblance to Cao Ren’s True Dragon form.

As Cao Ren raised his hand again, the water mass shivered in fear, quickly shifting into a human female form, though seemingly inexperienced, as its face still resembled more the head of the Red-tailed Carp, appearing somewhat strange.

”Blockheaded!” Cao Ren’s eye twitched with frustration.

This task should have been a duty of the newly established God Controlling Hall of the sect, but Cao Ren, having practiced in a Water Mansion he established in the Jinlu River, came across the newly born Water God before the God Controlling Hall did, and thus decided to tame her and personally escort her to the sect gate.

”More like watery minded.”

Shen Mo chuckled, inscribed the name ”Water God of Jinlu River” on an already prepared treasured talisman, stamped it with the seal of the Sect Master of the Red Flame Sect, and left his Dao Mark, then infused it with a trace of Mana.

Instantly, the treasured talisman transformed into a divine light, falling upon the newly born Water God, gently immersing into her soul body.

”The path of cultivation is long, be careful not to become complacent...”
