Do Not Believe in Fate; Man Will Conquer Heaven

Is it truly beyond saving?

Chen Nianzhi remained silent for a long time before finally asking.

The Slanting Sun Wheel remained silent for a moment before saying, "Unless it is Immortal from the Immortal Realm who has come to face this calamity, I'm afraid even the most amazing person would find it difficult to turn the tide."

"The Immortal face calamity..."

Chen Nianzhi muttered to himself, his brows furrowing before relaxing again.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes resolute and sharp. "We cultivators do not believe in fate, but only in human will to overcome heaven. It is precisely because of this that we can defy destiny and ascend to immortality."

"Although the Abyssal Demon Calamity has a terrifying origin, I believe that as long as we are strong enough, we will eventually be able to completely quell it."

The Slanting Sun Wheel fell silent, watching Chen Nianzhi's figure, feeling that the person before it was extraordinary.

A figure dressed in white, as white as snow, with an exceptionally tall and slender posture, simply standing there quietly, exuded an extraordinary aura, more like a peerless immortal lord banished to the mortal world.

After a long while, it hesitated and said, "Could you be a reincarnation of a celestial lord, here to face a tribulation?"

"No."

Chen Nianzhi shook his head. He was born with extraordinary signs, which even alarmed the Pure Yang Immortal Sword ' Azure Abyss Sword '. At first, everyone thought he was Immortal undergoing tribulation, but he himself knew his origins.

The Slanting Sun Wheel quickly recovered from its hesitation and said, "Although I have not left this place for many years, I know that Emperor Jiang never returned after becoming an immortal."

"Whether you are truly a reincarnated Immortal or not, quelling the catastrophe will not be easy."

"However, you are not wrong. Cultivation itself is going against the heavens. Even if the Abyssal Demon Calamity is the greatest calamity in this world, there should still be a glimmer of hope. I was too arbitrary."

Jiang Linglong nodded and calmly said, "If one can ascend to immortality, there might be a chance to survive the calamity."

"Ascension to immortality?" The Slanting Sun Wheel remained silent for a long time before saying, "But how difficult that is."

Even if one breaks through to the Ascension-to-Immortality realm, the tribulation of becoming an immortal is almost impossible to overcome.

The Clear-Moon Wheel shone softly, and she spoke, "Back then, to help Emperor Jiang ascend to immortality, the Dao Lord of the Purple Yin Realm spared no effort, destroying ten top-tier Pure Yang Supreme Treasure. I'm afraid they may not be able to produce them again now."

Jiang Linglong's heart trembled slightly, but her eyes remained firm as she said, "However, I only know that if one forges their Primordial Spirit with the foundation of Great Luo Foundation, there should be a 30% chance of ascending to immortality."

"Great Luo Foundation?" The Setting-Sun Wheel was suddenly shocked, and then said in surprise, "I have long noticed that your Law Power is profound Bu Fan. Could it be that you have forged Great Luo Golden Core?"

Chen Nianzhi nodded and said without hiding anything, "The two of us have indeed forged the Great Luo Golden Core."

"That's the foundation for becoming an immortal."

The Sun-Moon Twin Wheels were shocked. The Great Luo Golden Core talent was extremely rare. In the entire Purple Yin Realm, it was probably one in ten thousand years if not unique.

Once such beings break through to the Primordial Spirit realm, even if they are not Immortal undergoing tribulation, they will at least be among the top Nascent Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.

Because the Great Luo Foundation can cultivate five methods and five natal Life-bound Magical Treasure simultaneously, it has almost no weaknesses in attack, defense, Law Power, physical body, and soul, making its combat power destined to be the strongest among its peers.

"Please allow us a moment to discuss this," Clear-Moon Wheel said.

The Sun-Moon Twin Wheels exchanged words for a moment, then the Slanting Sun Wheel said, "Since you two are able to forge the Great Luo Golden Core, you might actually have a sliver of hope of becoming immortals in the future."

"We are willing to protect you two, not asking you to suffer the Karmic Retribution of our actions, but it is our way of contributing to the Human Race of the Eastern Wilderness."

"This..."

Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, their expressions showing a hint of surprise.

He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said earnestly, "We are deeply grateful that you two seniors are willing to protect us."

"No need to thank us," Clear-Moon Wheel said gently. "Thank our Lord Clear-Moon True Lord instead."

Life-bound Spirit Treasure is an extension of a cultivator's will, and strictly speaking, it is part of their true self. It is indeed right for them to be grateful to its master.

With a joyful expression, Chen Nianzhi spoke with Slanting Sun Wheel for a moment before remembering the Netherworld Stone. He then said, "I would like to ask for your assistance in refining the Netherworld Qi."

"This is easy to handle."

The Slanting Sun Wheel nodded and then said, "With me as the array's core, it will take approximately thirty years to refine the remaining Netherworld Stone."

"And there's also the Scarlet Flame True Lord's companion spirit sword; you need to refine its essence before you can forge a flying sword."

"If you were to refine it yourself, it would take at least sixty years. If you leave it here, I will use Fire Vein and formations to refine it, and it will take about fourteen or fifteen years to extract it."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. This thousand-foot-long Scarlet Flame Greatsword was too enormous and needed to be refined from the Subterranean Fire Vein to be used to upgrade the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword.

However, this giant sword is of too high a grade and is too huge, making it extremely difficult to forge.

There are also high-level Subterranean Fire Vein in this ruin that can help forge this sword, but it will take more than ten years to extract its essence.

Chen Nianzhi picked up the Scarlet Flame Greatsword before saying, "I'll have to trouble you again, Senior."

"You should focus on your cultivation now."

As he spoke calmly, Slanting Sun Wheel placed the Scarlet Flame Greatsword into the lava pool.

Considering that the two extremely precious treasures were still being refined, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong simply stayed in the ruins and began their secluded cultivation there.

This ruin was, after all, the former training ground of the Sun-Moon Sect, and many years ago there was even Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein.

However, the Spirit Vein have now been corrupted by the Fire Vein, and low-level cultivators are unable to expel the Fire Baleful Force energy within, making it impossible for them to cultivate here.

With Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong's cultivation levels, they didn't need to worry about the Fire Baleful Force entering their bodies. They could even directly Fire Baleful Force into their bodies to temper their meridians.

The days passed quickly in this kind of cultivation, and many years went by in the blink of an eye.

In the third year of their seclusion, Jiang Linglong's cultivation finally made further progress, reaching the ninth level of the Golden Core Ninth Layer stage.

After breaking through to the Golden Core Ninth Layer, her Law Power increased by another 30%, and her strength surged once again.

After consolidating her cultivation, Jiang Linglong spent another two years finally deducing the Kui-Water Divine Thunder.

After deducing the Kui-Water Divine Thunder, the Pure-Yin Divine Thunder within Jiang Linglong's body has formed Five-Element Great Cycle, which will continuously temper her physical body and meridians day and night, thoroughly solidifying her foundation.

Meanwhile, Chen Nianzhi was also diligently cultivating. Finally, after seventeen years of seclusion, his Law Power became completely perfect and flawless, and he reached the threshold of the Golden Core Seventh Layer stage.

After feeling his Law Power become fully integrated, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said to Jiang Linglong, "That sudden enlightenment a few years ago greatly increased my spiritual power, and my cultivation progress has also increased significantly."

"I'm currently preparing to break through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer, and I'll need your protection."
