Chapter 31: Kun Peng Six Transformations (Part 1)
"Dong, dong, dong..." Li Qiye repeatedly struck the door of his Fate Palace using the "Kun Peng Six Transformations." Li Qiye had lost count of how many tens of thousands of times he had struck, but his Fate Palace remained unresponsive, its door still unopened.
For many cultivators, this situation would not be optimistic. Having struck for so long without opening the door to their Fate Palace, it could be said that their aptitude was too poor.
However, Li Qiye possessed an unshakeable heart. Even if he had to strike a million times, he would persist. He would continue striking until the door of his Fate Palace opened.
"Dong—" Finally, after Li Qiye had struck for five days and five nights, a faint reverberation sounded, followed by the creaking sound of a door opening. At last, through Li Qiye's persistence, the door to his Fate Palace was finally opened.
After the door of the Fate Palace was opened, a surge of life force emanated from within. However, Li Qiye was merely a Mortal Fate. His life force was limited. If it were a genius, their life force would undoubtedly be immense.
At this moment, the true incantations of "Kun Peng Six Transformations" flowed into the Fate Palace like a tide. Li Qiye's consciousness followed, also entering the Fate Palace like a tide.
The Fate Palace was incredibly vast, boundless and infinite. The immense Fate Palace stretched out in all directions. In the center of the Fate Palace, the true incantations of "Kun Peng Six Transformations" circulated around a ball of light. The runes of the true incantations of "Kun Peng Six Transformations" ceaselessly circled this ball of light, as if trying to awaken it.
This ball of light was what everyone called the Fate Soul, also referred to as the Three Souls and Six Spirits, and more commonly, the True Fate! This was the foundation that determined a person's destiny throughout their life.
Regardless of any living being, only through diligent cultivation could one awaken their True Fate, awaken their Three Souls and Six Spirits. Only by awakening their True Fate and their Three Souls and Six Spirits could they possess divine abilities. Only after the True Fate awakened could one control life force, connect with heaven and earth, and challenge enemies against the heavens!
"Kun Peng Six Transformations" was a life cultivation technique. It had to awaken the True Fate, using the True Fate as a foundation to cultivate Li Qiye's own Dao! Therefore, the profound runes of "Kun Peng Six Transformations" ceaselessly circled the True Fate. These constantly flowing profound runes sometimes transformed into heavenly roc companions, sometimes into giant kun swimming, and sometimes into something that was neither fish nor roc, a Kun Peng, merging into the True Fate. As the Kun Peng, formed by the profound runes, continuously merged into and leaped out of the True Fate, it caused Li Qiye's True Fate to become like a vast ocean, its radiance fluctuating!
This process was called "Awakening." It was the second stage of the "Palace Striking" realm. Only after the True Fate awakened could one speak of true cultivation.
If it were a genius, especially those with Royal Fate or Saint Fate, the awakening of their True Fate would be a very easy matter. They could even awaken their True Fate in half a day.
Li Qiye was merely a Mortal Fate, so naturally, he could not compare to geniuses with Saint Fate or Royal Fate. However, Li Qiye was not anxious at all. He cultivated with a normal mindset, letting "Kun Peng Six Transformations" circulate endlessly. For Li Qiye, as long as "Kun Peng Six Transformations" circulated without stopping, it would eventually cause his True Fate to awaken.
Within the Fate Palace, it was vast and boundless, immeasurably profound. The entire Fate Palace was a blur, impossible to discern. In reality, the vastness of the Fate Palace far exceeded human imagination.
Before Li Qiye, the Fate Palace was a blur. Even after his True Fate awakened, he still could not see through the entire Fate Palace. Although he could not see through the entire Fate Palace for the moment, Li Qiye could still vaguely sense other existences within it.
Within the Fate Palace, in the extremely distant East, he vaguely sensed a massive spring eye. However, at this moment, the spring eye was dry, with no spring water flowing out.
The Spring of Life, one of the legendary Four Symbols of the Fate Palace. There were many legends about the Spring of Life. Some ancient sages believed that the Spring of Life was the source of life force.
Within the Fate Palace, in the extremely distant West, Li Qiye vaguely sensed a colossal furnace. However, this colossal furnace was cold and devoid of warmth.
The Furnace of Life! Throughout the myriad realms, a saying circulated: "The Great Dao is like a furnace, capable of refining all!" The furnace referred to here, throughout the ages, has been believed by countless people to be the Furnace of Life.
Many believed that the life fire burned by the Furnace of Life originated from the True Fate, from the soul, also known as the soul fire.
Within the Fate Palace, in the distant South, stood a colossal tree reaching the heavens. This colossal tree stood within the local Fate Palace. However, at this moment, this colossal tree showed no fluctuation of life force, like a dead tree!
The Tree of Life had always been an immensely mysterious existence within the Fate Palace. Legend had it that the Tree of Life could connect heaven and earth and seize creation.
Within the Fate Palace, in the distant North, stood a colossal pillar between heaven and earth. Countless mysterious runes were inscribed upon the pillar, as if it had stood there since time immemorial.
The Pillar of Life, legend said it was the root of life. Without the Pillar of Life, nothing would exist!
The Four Symbols of the Fate Palace: the Spring of Life, the Furnace of Life, the Tree of Life, and the Pillar of Life. These were the most mysterious things in the world, the most profound existences within the Fate Palace. To comprehend the true profundity of the Four Symbols of the Fate Palace, countless ancient sages throughout the ages had thrown themselves into it one after another.
A saying once circulated in the world: whoever could grasp the true profundity of the Four Symbols of the Fate Palace could then bear the Mandate of Heaven, achieve Immortal Emperor status, and even attain eternal immortality!
Li Qiye let "Kun Peng Six Transformations" circulate ceaselessly, and let "Moon Vortex Sun **" rotate his Life Wheel, bringing his entire state to a profound and wondrous level.
Having just begun cultivating, Li Qiye proceeded step by step. He was not in any hurry, as he had absolute confidence in himself. His Dao heart was something that no object or person could shake!
Finally, ten days later, Nan Huairen returned. Upon his return, Nan Huairen immediately rushed to the solitary peak. Seeing Li Qiye, he apologized, "Senior Brother, I've kept you waiting this time. The Sect Master has entered a brief seclusion. I can only report after the Sect Master emerges."
"It's a minor matter," Li Qiye said calmly.
Seeing Li Qiye's composed demeanor, Nan Huairen pondered for a moment, then said to Li Qiye, "Senior Brother, from what the Sect Master implied, Second Senior Brother will be returning." He added, "Second Senior Brother is a disciple of the Sect Master."
Upon mentioning "Second Senior Brother," Nan Huairen looked at Li Qiye with a peculiar gaze and said nothing further.
"What's wrong with Second Senior Brother?" Li Qiye glanced at the strangely looking Nan Huairen, still speaking indifferently.
Nan Huairen gave a dry laugh, scratching his head. "To be honest, Senior Brother, I can't quite explain it. You'll understand once you meet Second Senior Brother. Second Senior Brother's situation is a bit special." He added this last sentence.
Li Qiye merely smiled and didn't inquire further. These matters were unimportant to him. Regardless of Second Senior Brother's situation, he didn't care. Similarly, he didn't care what Second Senior Brother was coming to do, whether it was to guide his cultivation or to supervise him.
For Li Qiye, the ambition to revitalize the Washing Yan Ancient Sect was as firm as iron, and no one could shake it. When the time was right, he would rebuild the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. On this path, anyone who blocked his progress would be killed without mercy – he would slay Buddhas if they appeared and slaughter gods if they emerged!
In the early years of the Emperors, the Washing Yan Ancient Sect was established by him and swept across the Nine Realms. In this life, he would still re-establish the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. One day, he would lead the Washing Yan Ancient Sect to sweep across the Eight Desolations and trample the Immortal-Demon Cave! His determined steps could not be stopped by anyone!
However, Nan Huairen was accustomed to Li Qiye's composure. Even when facing the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor, his Senior Brother was so calm. As for Second Senior Brother, it was even less of a concern.
Nan Huairen couldn't help but look at Li Qiye again. Upon looking, he discovered that Li Qiye had already begun cultivating. He exclaimed with surprise, "Senior Brother, you've already opened the door to your Fate Palace! How long did it take you, Senior Brother?"
"Not long, five days and five nights," Li Qiye said slowly.
"Uh—" These words immediately left Nan Huairen speechless for a long time. Five days and five nights was considered "not long"? In any sect, if a disciple took three days and three nights to open the door, they would definitely be reprimanded by their elders as a dunce, as someone with no hope of advancement! As for five days and five nights, there was no need to even mention it; they would be considered the dunce among dunces. If anyone knew that Li Qiye took five days and five nights to open the door, he would absolutely become the biggest laughingstock of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect!
Even the worst disciple of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect only took about three days and three nights. Yet, Li Qiye took five days and five nights!
However, from Li Qiye's demeanor, it was evident that five days and five nights meant nothing. He spoke of it with ease and composure, as if it were a trivial matter.
If other disciples took five days and five nights to open the door, they would certainly feel extremely inferior. However, Li Qiye was neither inferior nor arrogant. Such a matter was as natural to him as eating.
Of course, Nan Huairen would not believe Li Qiye was an idiot. If anyone thought Li Qiye was an idiot, then that person would be the true idiot. Just like Du Yuanguang, Xu Hui, and Protector Xu – those who thought they were smarter than Li Qiye ultimately died by his hand! Du Yuanguang and Xu Hui were even dismembered by Li Qiye!
Thinking of this, Nan Huairen couldn't help but shiver. He took five days and five nights to open the door, yet remained calm and composed. A person who appeared foolish was actually looking down on all directions, possessing absolute confidence and an unshakeable Dao heart! Thinking about such a person, one could only imagine how terrifying he was!
Ultimately, Nan Huairen dared not say anything more and accompanied Li Qiye to select a treasure artifact.
Returning to the Triangular Ancient Courtyard, Li Qiye and Nan Huairen, hand in hand, entered the Weapon Repository. Upon entering the Weapon Repository, they were greeted by a colossal statue standing within!
