Kun Peng Six Transformations (Part One)

Kun Peng Six Transformations (Part One)

"Thud, thud, thud..." Li Qiye used the Kun Peng Six Transformations to knock on the door of his Fate Palace again and again. Even he did not know how many tens of thousands of times he had knocked, yet the Fate Palace still showed no response, and its door remained unopened.

To many cultivators, this was far from an optimistic situation. After knocking for so long and still failing to open the Fate Palace door, one could only say that such aptitude was far too poor.

But Li Qiye possessed an unshakable heart. Even if he had to knock a million times, he would persist. He would keep knocking until the Fate Palace door opened.

"Thud—" At last, after Li Qiye had knocked for five days and five nights, a faint echo rang out. Then came the creaking sound of a door opening. Under Li Qiye's persistence, the Fate Palace door was finally knocked open.

Once the Fate Palace door opened, a trace of life force seeped out from within. However, Li Qiye possessed only a Mortal Fate, and his life force was limited. Had it been a genius, their life force would surely have been vast and surging.

At this moment, the true formula of the Kun Peng Six Transformations flooded into the Fate Palace like a tide, and Li Qiye's consciousness followed it in like a tide as well.

The Fate Palace was incomparably vast, boundless and limitless. Its immense expanse was a hazy wilderness. At the center of the Fate Palace, the true formula of the Kun Peng Six Transformations flowed around a mass of radiance. The formula's runes circled that light without cease, as though they wished to awaken it.

That mass of radiance was what everyone called the Fate Soul. Some called it the three souls and six spirits, while more people called it the True Fate! It was the foundation that determined the course of one's entire life.

No matter what kind of living being it was, only through cultivation could one awaken one's True Fate, awaken one's three souls and six spirits. Only after awakening one's True Fate and three souls and six spirits could one possess divine abilities. Only once the True Fate awakened could one command life force, commune with heaven, earth, and all things, battle enemies, and defy the heavens!

The Kun Peng Six Transformations was a fate cultivation method. It had to awaken the True Fate, using the True Fate as its foundation to cultivate a path belonging to Li Qiye! Thus, the profound runes of the Kun Peng Six Transformations endlessly circled the True Fate. These ever-flowing runes sometimes transformed into a Heavenly Peng flying alongside it, sometimes into a giant Kun leaping and turning, and sometimes into a Kun Peng that was neither fish nor Peng, merging into the True Fate. As the Kun Peng formed from the profound runes endlessly merged into the True Fate, then leaped out from it again, Li Qiye's True Fate became like an abyssal sea, and its radiance began to ripple!

This process was called "awakening." It was the second level of the Knocking the Door realm. Only once the True Fate awakened could one speak of true cultivation.

If one were a genius, especially a genius with an Imperial Fate or Sage Fate, awakening their True Fate would be an easy matter. They might even awaken it within half a day.

Li Qiye possessed only a Mortal Fate, so naturally he could not compare with geniuses blessed with Sage Fates or Imperial Fates. Yet Li Qiye was not anxious in the slightest. He cultivated with an ordinary heart, allowing the Kun Peng Six Transformations to circulate endlessly, without interruption. To Li Qiye, as long as the Kun Peng Six Transformations continued to flow, there would come a day when it awakened his True Fate.

Within the Fate Palace lay a boundless, vast expanse. The entire Fate Palace was a hazy blur, impossible to see clearly. In truth, the vastness of a Fate Palace far surpassed human imagination.

Before Li Qiye, his Fate Palace was a vast haze. Even after his True Fate awakened, he would still be unable to see through the entire Fate Palace. Though he could not yet see through it all, Li Qiye could faintly sense other existences within it.

In the Fate Palace, in the unimaginably distant east, he could vaguely sense a colossal springhead. Yet at this moment, the springhead was dried up, with no spring water flowing forth.

The Spring of Life, one of the legendary Four Symbols of the Fate Palace. There were many legends concerning the Spring of Life. Some ancient sages believed that it was the source of life force.

Within the Fate Palace, in the unimaginably distant west, Li Qiye could vaguely sense an incomparably enormous furnace. Yet this enormous furnace was cold and without warmth.

The Furnace of Life! A saying circulated throughout the myriad worlds: the Great Dao was like a furnace, capable of refining all things! Since time immemorial, countless people had believed that the furnace in this saying referred to the Furnace of Life.

Many believed that the flame of life burning within the Furnace of Life came from the True Fate, from the soul, and was also called the soul flame.

Within the Fate Palace, in the distant south, a gigantic tree held up the heavens. This giant tree stood within that region of the Fate Palace, but at this moment, it did not emit the slightest ripple of life force. It was like a dead tree!

The Tree of Life had always been an exceedingly mysterious existence within the Fate Palace. Legend had it that the Tree of Life could connect heaven and earth and seize the fortune of creation.

Within the Fate Palace, in the distant north, an incomparably massive pillar stood between heaven and earth. Countless runes were inscribed upon it, mysterious and unfathomable. It seemed as though it had stood there since time immemorial.

The Pillar of Life. Legend held that it was the root of life. Without the Pillar of Life, nothing would remain!

The Four Symbols of the Fate Palace—the Spring of Life, the Furnace of Life, the Tree of Life, and the Pillar of Life—were the most mysterious things in the world, as well as the most profound mysteries within the Fate Palace. Since time immemorial, countless ancient sages had succeeded one another, pressing forward without regard for sacrifice, in pursuit of the true mysteries of the Four Symbols of the Fate Palace.

A saying had once circulated through the world: if anyone could grasp the true profundity of the Four Symbols of the Fate Palace, then they could bear the Heaven's Will, become an Immortal Emperor, and perhaps even live forever without perishing!

Li Qiye allowed the Kun Peng Six Transformations to circulate without cease and let Moon Vortex Sun ** turn his life wheel, bringing his entire state to something mysterious beyond mystery, wondrous beyond wonder.

Having only just begun cultivation, Li Qiye proceeded step by step without haste. He had absolute certainty in himself, absolute confidence. Nothing and no one could shake his Dao Heart!

At last, ten days later, Nan Huairen returned. As soon as he came back, he hurried to Solitary Peak. Upon seeing Li Qiye, he could not help but apologize, "Senior Brother, sorry for the wait. The sect master entered a brief closed-door cultivation, so I could only report to him after he emerged."

"It is only a small matter," Li Qiye said calmly.

Seeing Li Qiye so composed and unhurried, Nan Huairen pondered for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother, from what the sect master meant, Second Senior Brother will be returning." He added, "Second Senior Brother is the sect master's disciple."

At the mention of "Second Senior Brother," Nan Huairen gave Li Qiye a strange look, but said nothing further.

"What is wrong with Second Senior Brother?" Li Qiye glanced at Nan Huairen, whose gaze was strange, and remained completely unconcerned.

Nan Huairen gave a dry laugh and scratched his head. "To be honest, Senior Brother, I cannot explain it clearly either. You will understand once you meet Second Senior Brother. His situation is somewhat special." He added that final sentence at the end.

Li Qiye merely smiled and did not ask further. To him, none of this mattered. No matter what Second Senior Brother's situation was, he did not care. Likewise, he did not care why Second Senior Brother was coming, whether it was to guide his cultivation or to supervise him.

For Li Qiye, the resolve to restore the Washing Yan Ancient Sect was as hard as iron, and no one could shake it. Once the time was ripe, he would rebuild the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. On this road, whoever blocked his steps would be killed without mercy—if a Buddha came, he would slay the Buddha; if a god came, he would slaughter the god!

In the early years of the many emperors, the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had been established by his hand and swept across the nine worlds. In this life, he would still rebuild the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. One day, he would lead it to sweep across the eight desolations and crush the Immortal-Demon Cave beneath his feet! No one could stop his steadfast steps!

However, Nan Huairen had already grown accustomed to Li Qiye's composure. Even when facing the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor, his senior brother had remained so calm. As for Second Senior Brother, that was even less worth mentioning.

Nan Huairen could not help taking another look at Li Qiye. With that glance, he discovered that Li Qiye had already begun cultivating. Delighted, he said, "Senior Brother, you have already knocked open the Fate Palace door. How long did it take you?"

"Not long. Five days and five nights," Li Qiye said leisurely.

"Uh—" Nan Huairen was rendered speechless for a long while. Five days and five nights was not long? In any sect, if a disciple took three days and three nights to knock open the door, they would surely be denounced by their elders as an idiot, as someone beyond saving! As for five days and five nights, there was no need to say more. That would be an idiot among idiots. If people learned that Li Qiye had taken five days and five nights to knock on the door, he would absolutely become the greatest laughingstock of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect!

Even the worst disciples of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect took only around three days and three nights. Yet Li Qiye had taken five days and five nights!

However, Li Qiye's expression made it clear that five days and five nights amounted to nothing. He spoke of it calmly and unhurriedly, as lightly as wind and drifting clouds.

If any other disciple had taken five days and five nights to knock on the door, they would surely have felt deeply inferior. Yet Li Qiye was neither self-abasing nor arrogant. To him, it was as natural as eating a meal.

Of course, Nan Huairen would never believe that Li Qiye was a fool. Whoever thought Li Qiye a fool was the true fool, like Du Yuanguang, Xu Hui, and Protector Xu. Those people had all believed themselves smarter than Li Qiye, but had they not ultimately died by his hand? Du Yuanguang and Xu Hui had even been dismembered by Li Qiye!

Thinking of this, Nan Huairen could not help shuddering. He had taken five days and five nights to knock on the door, yet remained calm and unhurried. A person who appeared to be a fool actually looked down upon the eight desolations, possessed absolute confidence, and had a Dao Heart that could not be shaken! The more one thought about such a person, the more terrifying he became!

In the end, Nan Huairen did not dare say anything more and accompanied Li Qiye to choose a treasure artifact.

Returning to the triangular ancient courtyard, Li Qiye and Nan Huairen entered the Weapon Repository with their command token. The moment they stepped inside, they saw an incomparably enormous statue standing within the Weapon Repository!
