Final Arrival at the Blessed Land!

Last night's storm caused the plants of this world to enter their final 'carnival'.

Although the Black Annihilation Wind Disaster brought harm to all things, under its pressure, all things were also fighting for survival.

Compared to other trees and plants that were dazed and could only rely on instinct, Yu An could more clearly feel the intense changes in the world.

Since this was his first time experiencing the Black Annihilation Wind Disaster, he didn't know what it was like in previous years. However, he learned from Old Man Yu's family that this year's Black Annihilation Wind Disaster was different from previous years.

And it would be even more brutal.

Fortunately, before this, he had successfully grasped that trace of rhythm imprinted in the world from the Netherworld and entered the Fetal Movement stage, opening his path to evolution.

Through self-comparison and speculation, Yu An felt that under the crisis of life and death, the plants of this world, relying on instinct, evolved over a long period, generation after generation, finally breaking free from the shackles of their original bodies and possessing a trace of extraordinary potential.

This was a Rare Species!

Yu An was very fortunate because, after transmigrating, he woke up as a Rare Species, allowing him to directly skip the most difficult stage.

The extraordinary potential of a Rare Species could be seen as a simple consciousness, similar to enlightenment or awakening. In this state, whether actively or passively, they would eventually perceive that trace of rhythm in the world, allowing them to begin a new round of evolution.

Yu An didn't know about other Rare Species, as he hadn't encountered any other Rare Species besides himself.

But for himself, the juvenile stage alone was divided into three segments.

The first segment corresponded to ordinary people.

The second segment corresponded to Fetal Movement.

The third segment corresponded to Qi Refining.

Currently, he was in the second segment and, under the nurturing of the Yu Family, was progressing rapidly as if there were no bottlenecks.

However, when he thought of his second Divine Ability, he felt as if his vision was obscured by thick darkness.

Humans needed Immortal Destiny to break through to the Qi Refining Realm, so what about him?

Did he also need Immortal Destiny?

Especially since he could naturally produce Immortal Destiny, it would just take a longer time, or directly consume lifespan.

But could he refine the Immortal Destiny that he himself produced?

And the last sentence of the Bonding Divine Ability: "Elm seeds as cause, destined fate as effect. All beings that form a bond, upon death, will feed back, accelerating their own growth."

So, if he refined the Immortal Destiny produced by his own Divine Ability, wouldn't he fall into an unsolvable loop?

But those Immortal Destinies condensed by cultivators of higher realms, did he dare to refine them?

Besides these, there were only the Immortal Destinies condensed by heaven and earth after the annual Black Annihilation Wind Disaster.

This kind of Immortal Destiny is also called Innate Immortal Destiny.

However, in terms of the mysterious aura condensed within, it's not as effective as the Immortal Destiny condensed by cultivators of higher realms.

If there's any advantage to be had, it's probably that when breaking through using this Innate Immortal Destiny, it tends to be more compatible with oneself.

It's just that this Innate Immortal Destiny is extremely rare, often inconspicuous, and hard to find.

Over time, Innate Immortal Destiny will also slowly dissipate and return to heaven and earth.

Ninety-nine percent of Qi Refining Realm cultivators break through by utilizing the Immortal Destiny condensed by cultivators of higher realms.

In Yu An's opinion, perhaps this Innate Immortal Destiny condensed by heaven and earth is the true path.

As for anything else, whether it's Immortal Destiny condensed by cultivators of higher realms or the Immortal Destiny he himself bonded with, it often contains other 'things'.

Unfortunately, the narrative power in this world has always been held by those cultivators of higher realms. Let alone ordinary people, even cultivators of lower realms might not know the truth.

Or rather, there's some secret involved, where some Immortal Destiny is 'poisonous' and some is not.

If Yu An hadn't bonded with the Divine Ability, he wouldn't have even thought of this in a million years.

And for ordinary people, how could they doubt the Immortal Destiny they desperately sought?

Yu An felt that the Immortal Destiny he bonded with himself was unlikely to help him advance, and he dared not refine the Immortal Destiny condensed by higher realms. So, was he supposed to rely on the Innate Immortal Destiny condensed by heaven and earth?

The problem was, he couldn't walk, so how could he search for it?

Relying on others to find it for him was even more of a pipe dream.

Who would be so foolish?

Of course, it was also possible that he was overthinking things, and perhaps once he reached the equivalent of Perfection of Fetal Movement, he could naturally break through without needing Immortal Destiny.

That would be the best outcome.

But his immediate priority was undoubtedly to continue strengthening himself to deal with the impending Black Annihilation Wind Disaster.

Even Old Man Yu painstakingly surrounded him with stones; how could he not strive to become stronger himself?

After all, his life was on the line.

On the other side, the team heading to New Moon Blessed Land was also continuing their trek.

After the incident at the Chain Bridge, their attention on the subsequent journey became more focused, constantly vigilant of potential dangers around them.

If they encountered one or two more powerful Demonic Beasts, they might be completely wiped out.

This time, encountering the Water Origin Turtle was both a coincidence and an inevitability.

The root of everything was the sudden storm last night, which shattered all pre-arranged plans.

Under the threat of the impending Black Annihilation Wind Disaster, no one dared to gamble. Whether human or Demonic Beast, everyone naturally had to hurry back to the Blessed Land to seek refuge.

Thus, it wasn't strange for them to bump into each other.

Otherwise, like in previous years, they would rarely encounter danger.

Perhaps it was for this reason that they didn't encounter any Tribulation Cultivators.

Tribulation Cultivators at this time were either too slow to react or specifically targeted wealthy Settlements. They had no time to bother with barren, small Settlements like Ox Ridge.

To make good time, everyone had not stopped to rest. Even when noon arrived and they were hungry, they ate the dry rations they had prepared while walking.

"Uncle Dashan, this is the Spirit Rice my dad steamed this morning. Please have some."

Li Tiezhu's daughter, who had just turned ten, under her mother's instructions, carried a lunchbox to Yu Dashan.

Yu Dashan, who was about to take out his Ordinary Rice Cakes, paused for a moment and then said, "No need. You, your brother, and your mother should eat it."

Actually, Yu Dashan also had some Spirit Rice in the pack behind him, but he planned to eat it only after reaching the Blessed Land. To break through to Perfection of Fetal Movement as soon as possible, he had to be 'extravagant'.

He knew that Tiezhu's family wasn't well-off either, otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed in the Settlement with his old mother. The fact that they had prepared Spirit Rice was clearly to give to him.

Just like the long saber this morning.

Taking someone's hand makes it soft, eating someone's food makes your mouth short – it was the simplest principle.

Especially after the incident at the Chain Bridge, Tiezhu's Wife understood better what needed to be done. With her husband not around and her taking care of two children, at this moment, and even after reaching the Blessed Land, the only people she could rely on were the three Yu brothers.

More accurately, Yu Dashan.

"Uncle Dashan, here you go."

Li Yue stood on tiptoe and shoved the lunchbox into Yu Dashan's arms. Without even waiting to see if he caught it, she let go and stepped back. Then, she obediently took the rice balls made of ordinary rice handed over by her mother and began to eat them heartily.

Seeing this, Yu Dashan hesitated for a moment before finally not returning it.

Because he could see the determination in Tiezhu's Wife's eyes.

Sighing, Yu Dashan opened the lunchbox. Inside were three large bowls of Spirit Rice, about three jin.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Dashan took out one bowl and gave the rest to Yu Ershan. He had never liked tasks that involved using his brain.

Yu Ershan took the lunchbox and directly gave one bowl to Zhao Kun. Although the latter repeatedly declined, he couldn't change Yu Ershan's mind.

Zhao Kun then divided that bowl of steamed Spirit Rice among Zhao Jiadong and Zhao Cuilian.

As for Yu Ershan, Yu Xiaoshan, and Tiezhu's two children, they shared one bowl.

This distribution, no one felt anything was wrong.

As if everything was so natural.

Many people around saw them sharing the Spirit Rice, some swallowed enviously, but that was all.

If it were only Tiezhu's Wife, they might have gone to 'borrow' a bowl.

But neither Yu Dashan nor Zhao Kun were easy to deal with.

Not to mention Zhao Jiadong, who was good at fighting.

After eating, and after nearly two more hours of travel, after encountering a few minor setbacks, everyone finally arrived within the coverage of the New Moon Blessed Land.

At this moment, almost everyone stopped in their tracks in unison, looking towards the New Moon Blessed Land not far away.

It's May Day, should everyone be working, or working?
