Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1457: Chapter 676: Comprehending the Path of Destiny, Condensing the Destiny Dao Seed

”Finally, I have digested all the laws.”

At this moment, Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground.

He spent five hundred years in seclusion, primarily to digest the Heavenly Dao gifts from the Spirit Ruins Realm last time.

That Heavenly Dao gift gave him a vast amount of law information.

It took a full five hundred years to thoroughly comprehend these law messages.

Compared to the beginning, the number of laws he comprehended has increased significantly.

He has reached a total of one hundred and eight types of laws.

This is an incredible speed of comprehension for a Mahayana cultivator.

Because even an Earth Immortal cannot comprehend so many Heaven and Earth laws.

However, with the help of destiny and the assistance from Heavenly Dao gifts, it enabled his rapid progress.

This is an opportunity that even Immortals cannot obtain.

That’s why the speed of progress is so fast.

”But merely comprehending laws is nothing.”

”What’s truly important is condensing the Dao Seed and finding one’s own Dao.”

”In this way, one can fuse these Heaven and Earth laws into a whole.”

”Transforming them into one’s own true power.”

”Otherwise, these law powers are incredibly scattered and can never reach late Mahayana.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.

But which Dao is truly suitable for him? Is it the Path of Time, Space Dao, Way of Cause and Effect, Emperor’s Dao, or the Five Elements Dao?

Different Daos contain different powers.

The Dao has no distinction between high and low, but there is an issue of suitability.

If one finds the truly compatible Dao, future cultivation will progress rapidly.

Otherwise, the more one cultivates, one will find their path has reached an end and can no longer progress.

At this time, Jiang Fan began to recall the path he had taken in the past.

Could his rise from a mortal, cultivating all the way to Mahayana, rely on his talent? Rely on family background? Rely on friends and relatives?

No, none of these; it relied on destiny.

All living beings have destiny.

Destiny can lock a person’s upper limit, making class distinctions clear.

But it can also make ants rise, evolving into dragons.

Many Children of Fortune also come from humble beginnings but can still rise.

So destiny is unpredictable.

Moreover, it’s not just humans who have destiny; all beings have destiny, including demons and anomalies.

Even worlds and even the universe have destiny.

Everything cannot escape the shackles of the power of destiny.

If one can control destiny, then one can control everything, becoming omnipotent.

”So the Dao most compatible with me should be the Path of Destiny.”

With a booming sound, Jiang Fan sensed that his sea of consciousness suddenly exploded, and he immediately realized he had finally found the most suitable Dao for himself.

It seemed at this moment, he resonated with the Path of Destiny deep in the void.

The spiritual light on his body surged, chaotic mist shattered, and everything between heaven and earth became clear and visible.

Jiang Fan felt as if he were outside of time and space. Before him were no longer tangible mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars, but countless crisscrossing, indistinct threads—these threads varied in color, some shining white as jade, some dark as ink, some as thin as hair, some as thick as pillars, intertwining and threading through the ancient and modern world, connecting all things in the universe.

He suddenly understood that the shining white threads are the bonds of good causes yielding good effects, the marks of protection and warmth; the dark threads are the entanglements of evil causes brewing evil effects, the sedimentation of resentment and obsession; the crisscrossing weaving point is the node of destiny, the crossroads of countless choices and encounters.​

This is the thread of cause and effect, the underlying law of the operation of heaven and earth, the tie connecting all things.

Jiang Fan felt his spirit stirred, his primordial spirit leaving his body, slowly reaching out to those threads, lightly touching them, myriad scenes like a tide rushing through his mind—there were mortals’ birth, aging, sickness, death, joys and sorrows; cultivators’ defiant cultivation, crossing the tribulation to ascend; plants breaking through the earth and withering; stars being born, falling, and repeating the cycle.

Every tremor of the thread of cause and effect corresponds to the trajectory of a life; every weaving and breakage of the threads foretells the turning and shifting of destiny.

He finally realized, cause and effect are never a preordained shackles, destiny is not an inescapable prison, cause and effect are marks of choices, destiny is the return journey of cultivation, what they call defying destiny, is merely cutting the old threads of cause and effect, weaving new trajectories of destiny.​

With the increasingly deepened insight, the threads of cause and effect around Jiang Fan began to slowly gather, wrapping around his primordial spirit, integrating with his divine soul.

He gradually felt that those threads spanning the heavens and earth were no longer unattainable laws but rather forces he could perceive and wield. He can clearly see the source and destination of each thread, easily snap the tremors of the threads, changing the direction of cause and effect, yet increasingly awed by the fairness of the Dao—cause and effect cycle, without the slightest slip, each movement requires bearing the corresponding cost, this is the true essence of the Path of Destiny: knowing cause and effect, understanding destiny, guarding the true heart, not overstepping bounds.

”So this is the Path of Destiny?”

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a hint of brilliance.

He sensed his primordial spirit resonating with the Path of Destiny.

Even his life chart—Great Blessings Equal to Heaven was the same.

Threads of information from the Path of Destiny seeped deep into his sea of consciousness, gathering together, forming a core.
