The River of Fate flows endlessly, through all ages.

Han Xuanji had already glimpsed a corner of the future's secrets.

"After Li Taiqing ascended to immortality, he faced many tribulations... The grudges from his past life still need to be resolved in this one."

However, with him involved, the outcome might change.

After all, he is now Golden Immortal cultivator, and with the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace as his backer, he is not afraid of the karma associated with the other party.

However, there's no need to dwell on these words. Li Taiqing is still quite safe for the time being, and by then, Han Xuanji's cultivation level will be unknown.

Just as Han Xuanji was pondering...

Several Daoyin yet powerful thoughts, like undercurrents in the water, quietly converged.

"Who is this person? Their affinity for and speed of understanding the Dao of Fate are astonishing?"

"His aura is unfamiliar; he is not one of the disciples we know... Judging from his Daoist essence, he seems to be the successor of a powerful Human Race."

"Interesting... Could it be that he possesses some kind of destiny-related constitution?"

The owners of these thoughts are all powerful individuals who have spent years dwelling in the River of Fate, comprehending the Great Dao and its creations. The weakest among them are at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and some even hide more ancient beings.

Han Xuanji's unusual behavior as a "newcomer" naturally aroused their curiosity and investigation.

However, they only observed and did not show themselves to test the waters.

The higher one's level of cultivation, the less one will need to act.

For cultivators like them who practice the Great Dao of Fate, every action they take will involve karma, making their future fate even more unpredictable and difficult to transcend the River of Fate.

Moreover, who knows what kind of powerful figures are backing someone with such qualifications?

Could it be the reincarnation or avatar of some powerful being?

However, Han Xuanji's performance eventually attracted unwanted attention.

A divine thought, carrying a probing intent and a hint of barely perceptible provocation, suddenly pierced the illusory figure that Han Xuanji had transformed into, like an invisible poisonous thorn.

This divine thought was not intended to cause any real harm, but rather to forcibly stir up its aura of destiny, forcing it to manifest its unique primordial imprint, thereby determining its origins and origins.

In the River of Fate, such behavior borders on blatant provocation.

The person who made the move, codenamed " Shenyou," had been cultivating in this place for a long time and was confident in his profound accumulation of knowledge. Seeing the rapid progress of the newcomer " Fate Calculation," he couldn't help but feel a bit curious and even jealous, so he decided to take action and test his abilities.

However, the moment that wisp of divine thought touched three feet outside Han Xuanji's body, it was as if it had hit an invisible and intangible yet indestructible barrier.

This barrier was not a direct, head-on block, but rather it caused the divine thought to momentarily lose its way. The probing power it contained was gently deflected by a more profound Power of Fate, and it silently returned along some mysterious trajectory.

"Ugh!"

In the distance, a phantom trembled violently and let out a muffled groan that it could not suppress.

He felt as if his divine sense had crashed into the quagmire of his own destiny. All sorts of unbearable past events and deep-seated flaws in his mind were inexplicably stirred up, backfiring on him, and his aura weakened considerably.

He hadn't even managed to touch the hem of the other person's clothes before suffering a hidden loss.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, seemingly calm on the surface, but in reality extremely dangerous.

The previously silent phantoms around them began to ripple slightly involuntarily.

A series of Daoyin divine thoughts intertwined, filled with astonishment and shock.

"Good heavens, this ' Shenyou ' is from the Nine Heavens Xuanji Manor."

"That ' Fate Calculation ' is truly extraordinary; what kind of Divine Ability is it?"

Those who can cultivate here are all people who have some knowledge of the Great Dao of Fate, and their eyesight is naturally sharp.

They discerned the origin of this " Shenyou "—a member of the Nine Heavens Xuanji Manor, a great sect in the upper realm. As for " Fate Calculation," he acted decisively, and they couldn't discern what methods he used. He employed a method they couldn't comprehend, and the sophistication of his methods was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even Azure Luan, who had briefly interacted with Han Xuanji earlier, fell silent at this moment.

Fortunately, he hadn't offended the other party beforehand.

Now that " Shenyou " has exposed his identity, his future days are going to be tough.

Some enemies will then have a target.

[ Wang You: Fifth level Golden Immortal, Elder of the Nine Heavens Xuanji Manor, cultivates the Dao of Fate, has a twisted personality, enjoys spying on others' origins, and will try to eliminate those of weak origin. Because of your outstanding talent, he is curious and jealous of you.]

"Fifth level of Golden Immortal..."

Han Xuanji opened her eyes and memorized Wang You's information.

The Nine Heavens Xuanji Manor is not a force of the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, but it is not far from the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, about three Immortal Domain away.

Without a teleportation array, it would take a Golden Immortal more than ten days to get there.

"While you can't retaliate offline, you're certainly not going to have an easy time online."

Han Xuanji thought to himself.

He was law-abiding but not afraid of trouble.

If we show even the slightest weakness at this point, the other party will inevitably take advantage of our weakness.

"Snort."

Han Xuanji snorted coldly.

In an instant, a divine thought transformed into the shape of a small sword, incredibly swift, and shattered the opponent's wisp of thought on the spot.

Inside a cave abode in the Nine Heavens Xuanji Manor.

A young-looking Daoist priest opened his eyes and coughed lightly.

Although it was just a thought being shattered, the pain was real, as if I had died once.

Damn it.

Wang You cursed under his breath, but he didn't know who the other person was.

They had no choice but to give up, and for a short time dared not go to the River of Fate again, for fear of being caught again.

Han Xuanji would naturally not retaliate offline for such a small matter, or rather, it was not appropriate for him to do so at the moment.

The reason he successfully killed the Golden Crow Mystic Immortal using his Divine Ability was because the two places were not far apart, and the opponent's cultivation level was much lower than his.

After Han Xuanji taught his opponent a lesson, he traveled a distance on the River of Fate, feeling no pressure as he advanced. By this time, he had already surpassed many cultivators.

After he disappeared from sight, many cultivators were secretly amazed.

This " Shenyou " serves as an example for others: if you don't court death, you won't die.

Many people even speculated that Han Xuanji retaliate after logging off.

After all, this kind of grudge can be considered small or big.

Not everyone who practices spiritual cultivation has a good temper.

There have been previous examples of successful offline revenge killings.

There are very few people left.

Han Xuanji suddenly noticed that there were very few people in front of him. It seemed that cultivators who had reached this level were extremely rare.

In the struggle for supremacy, every step is a selection process.

A while later...

Han Xuanji finally felt the pressure of River of Fate, but it was still within his capacity to bear.

Suddenly, he saw a humanoid figure ahead of him, moving at a speed no less than his own.

Perhaps realizing he was about to be overtaken by Han Xuanji, this person increased his speed.

Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and he quickened his pace.

This River of Fate seemed to have become the track for their race.

Before long, both of them slowed down simultaneously.

Han Xuanji glanced at the other party curiously and used the system's detection function.

[ Zhu Rong: Golden Immortal Ninth Level, possessing unparalleled comprehension and Supreme-Grade Dao Spirit Root, he once received the Heavenly Court's inheritance. He excels in the Dao of Space and Time, and is an unparalleled genius of the Astonishing Excellence Palace, invincible among those of the same realm.]

Zhu Rong suddenly stopped, turned around and said:

"May I have your name?"

Han Xuanji replied, "Just call me ' Fate Calculation '."

"Yeah."

Zhu Rong seemed to be deep in thought, nodded without saying anything more, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

This was his limit.

Han Xuanji also faced difficulties and gave up after trying once.

Going further ahead requires the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He might be able to force his way in using the Divine Pupils of Fate, but it would be pointless.

With this thought, Han Xuanji's consciousness detached from the River of Fate.

at this time.

Han Xuanji stepped out of his secluded cultivation place after a long absence, looked at the fate of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and then glanced at the fates of some of his fellow disciples in the Heavenly Palace.

Now is a time of great chaos in the world, and the fates and karmic consequences of these people are confused and uncertain.

At the same time, wisps of calamity energy manifested above their heads.

Han Xuanji was naturally familiar with the generation of this calamity energy.

If an ordinary person gets infected, they will be led astray by the evil energy and encounter great calamity. If they can overcome it, they will live or even have great fortuitous opportunity; if they cannot overcome it, they will die.

"On another note, quite a few people from the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace also made the list. People with great fortune like Jiang Hao, Su Ming, and Li Changsheng occasionally made the list and were then pushed off, so the competition was quite fierce."

It's not that they lack talent, but rather that their cultivation level is somewhat lacking. If a few hundred years were to pass, perhaps they could break into the top ten.

Han Xuanji thought to himself, his expression serene.

With this great event unfolding, all sorts of strange things began to happen.

During the years he was in seclusion, many prodigies emerged, and new faces appeared on the Immortal Dao Heaven's Chosen Ranking every year.

Many of these are hidden talents fortuitous opportunity for greatness, while others are cultivators who have stumbled upon opportunities by chance.

This is not surprising; during times of great upheaval, many unreasonable things happen.

The biographies of those past geniuses were like those of novel protagonists.

Perhaps there are too many geniuses. The Immortal Dao Heaven's Chosen Ranking has expanded to 360 people. It seems like there are more people, but the difficulty of getting on the list is still unimaginably high.

The upper realm is vast and boundless, with 360 geniuses. Even those with one in ten thousand talents could be found countless times in any Immortal Domain. There are also a large number of ascendants and those with good fortune who have risen from the lower realm.

Han Xuanji did not see her name on the list.

It seems he hid it very well, but he also noticed that Zhu Rong's name wasn't on it either.

Perhaps the other person is as low-key as he is, or perhaps they are simply too old.

As Han Xuanji pondered, he suddenly had some insights.

"To grasp one's destiny, one must naturally transform all future possibilities into a single outcome."

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Han Xuanji.

His Divine Pupils of Fate allow him to deduce heavenly secrets and observe the future more easily than others, but he doesn't like this ability.

Because many of the outcomes he saw were not what he wanted to see.

"But if one can determine the fate of the other's death, wouldn't that be an unparalleled killing Divine Ability?"

Han Xuanji's thoughts drifted away.

This is somewhat similar to the Life and Death Pupil Technique of the Double Pupils, but it is clearly a more advanced Divine Ability.

With his abilities, it seems difficult for him to do that.

To change one's destiny, one must inevitably bear the backlash from the River of Fate.

However, after this sudden enlightenment, Han Xuanji's understanding of the Great Dao of Fate reached a new level, and he also gained some insight into how to apply the Great Dao of Fate in the future.
