Chapter 182 Heavenly Destiny God
Chapter 182 Heavenly Destiny God
Under Zhao Xuan's guidance, the Crimson Flame Steeds did not rush to convert the benefits they gained directly into their own cultivation, but instead chose to use them to improve their intelligence.
It is precisely because of this significantly enhanced wisdom that they were able to cultivate the supernatural power of transformation into a physical form.
Unfortunately, despite the great breakthrough achieved by the Crimson Steed, it still falls slightly short compared to the well-established Fire Raven.
Therefore, when the divine realm was promoted a thousand years ago, many Crimson Flame Steeds transformed into round, fleshy balls, embarking on a unique evolutionary journey.
To this day, most of the Crimson Flame Steeds have successfully completed their transformation. Among them, a considerable number of Crimson Flame Steeds have broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, and their bloodline has also transformed into that of Crimson Flame Steeds.
In particular, the Crimson Flame Steed that Zhao Xuan used as his mount has evolved into a brand-new exotic beast at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
The Crimson Steed has now transcended the category of ordinary fire-type beasts.
As the saying goes, "Thunder and fire are inseparable," which contains the principle of mutual transformation between Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
During its evolution, the pure fire element within the Crimson Flame Steed gradually merged with the changes of Yin and Yang, thus giving birth to a more violent and powerful thunder and fire force.
Its lithe body was covered with scales that shimmered with lightning, like incredibly hard armor, exuding a chilling aura.
The flames that had been surging beneath their feet had now transformed into rolling thunderclouds, accompanied by bursts of thunder and lightning, as if they were about to tear the void apart.
As a result, the flames of the Crimson Steed became even more ferocious and violent, sacrificing sustainability for instantaneous lethality; at the same time, its running speed was also increased dramatically, like lightning flashing across the sky, disappearing in an instant.
What Zhao Xuan was dissatisfied with was that the lightning attribute only endowed it with lightning scales and thunderclouds, enhancing its defense and speed, but it could not directly manipulate lightning.
After witnessing the transformation of the Crimson Flame Steed, Zhao Xuan deduced that it should be able to wield thunder in the next stage. Therefore, he gave it a new name—Crimson Thunder Steed—and regarded this as its third stage form.
Zhao Xuan also did not forget to improve his cultivation.
Just then, a dazzling light suddenly descended from the sky.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a majestic figure descending from the sky, dressed in a magnificent golden imperial robe embroidered with patterns of heaven and earth, as if a god had descended to earth.
The figure descended upon Zhao Xuan's head with overwhelming force, then merged into the depths of his consciousness without any hindrance.
The focus of his visualization was not on the chaotic beasts, chaotic gods, or other various spiritual beings, but on his vision of his future self—a perfect, extraordinary self who was in control of everything.
All the powerful beings who have entered the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm or even higher have visualized this form.
In this way, they can gain insight into their own development direction, draw upon endless potential, and continuously strive towards the highest peak.
In the world of gods, there is only one goal for cultivation: to achieve an astonishingly perfect form, which is given a mysterious and sublime title—the God of Destiny.
This name not only represents unparalleled power and majesty, but is also a unique title of respect in the divine realm for the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm.
In the realm of gods, the titles used to refer to cultivators each have their own specific meanings.
For example, "Dao Ren" corresponds to the title of "Hun Yuan Da Luo Jin Xian"; "Dao Jun" corresponds to "Hun Yuan Tai Ji Da Luo Jin Xian"; and "Dao Zun" corresponds to "Hong Meng Tai Ji Da Luo Jin Xian".
The term "Dao Shen" refers to the Golden Immortal realm of the Primordial Chaos.
Therefore, the human form of the visualized object is called the form of the Deity of Destiny.
The path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Divine Realm world differs significantly from the conventional path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The conventional path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal focuses on increasing the strength of the laws, much like a peerless master who, while breaking through his own realm, also tirelessly forges and strengthens the divine weapon in his hand.
But what the Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Divine Realm seek is precise control over the laws.
This difference stems from the fundamentally different cultivation methods of beings in the world and beings in chaos.
When chaotic beings cultivate, they need to personally collect the spiritual essence of the laws and carefully craft it into their own unique laws.
In contrast, all living beings in the world cultivate the laws that already exist in the world.
Therefore, they must first deeply understand and master the laws and principles of the world in order to eventually transcend the constraints of these laws and embark on a higher level of spiritual practice.
In the conventional process of law evolution, there are three key transformation stages. First, a single law gradually gives rise to countless methods. Then, through the mutual nourishment and integration of these methods, they eventually converge into a unique core law. Finally, the core law transforms into the infinite.
With each step completed, the cultivator's control over the laws will reach a new level, and with each step forward, the power of the laws will be significantly enhanced.
In the world of gods, the will of the world, or the Heavenly Dao, is a power that transcends all things.
However, the Heavenly Dao of this divine realm is different from others; it does not restrict cultivators from comprehending the laws.
Even more astonishing is that the level of laws in the Divine Realm has reached an extremely high level.
These laws were derived from the world's Heavenly Dao by capturing and refining chaotic beasts.
Although the Divine Realm World does indeed possess three thousand laws, these three thousand laws are not actually controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the World.
The laws governing the world are those personally bestowed by the Creator.
As for the cultivators, they practiced a different set of laws that originated from the corpses of chaotic beasts.
They collect the laws from chaotic beasts, refine them, and then use the laws of the world's heavenly way as a template for cultivation.
However, this method of cultivation has many flaws.
First, the laws of the Chaos Beasts are extremely scattered, making it by no means easy to collect them all.
Secondly, these laws contain a powerful chaotic will, and cultivators have to spend a lot of time engaging in fierce struggles against this chaotic will.
For this reason, the two major systems of divine mountains and divine rivers came into being, and on this basis, they gradually evolved into the unique cultivation system of the divine realm world today.
The sacred mountain is like a huge treasure trove, capable of effectively gathering the laws of chaotic beasts according to different types.
The Divine River then diluted the unruly chaotic will. After being baptized by the Divine River, the originally violent and unruly chaotic will became relatively docile, making it easier for cultivators to refine and absorb it.
However, as time went on, cultivators were not satisfied with this traditional method of refining. With their tireless spirit of exploration, they pioneered a completely new path of cultivation—directly refining Dao essence and visualizing an object to contain these chaotic wills.
Typically, practitioners use animal behavior as the primary object of their meditation.
For example, Luo Xuan used this visualization method.
The benefits are remarkable when a practitioner successfully visualizes a beast-shaped object possessing a chaotic will. Due to the integration of the chaotic will, the visualized object seems to possess life, brimming with spirituality.
When a practitioner uses such a visualized object in battle, an instinctive guiding force works in the unseen realm, eliminating the need for the practitioner to expend extra effort to learn any complicated combat techniques.
However, everything has two sides.
Although visualizing beasts brings many benefits, it inevitably exposes practitioners to the influence of the chaotic will, causing their personalities to gradually become fierce and belligerent.
Fortunately, the Divine Realm is a world dominated by cultivation. Here, the path of cultivation emphasizes absolute determination and the fight for every inch of land.
Therefore, to some extent, being fierce and belligerent is not entirely a bad thing.
However, once a cultivator reaches the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the situation changes dramatically.
After that, relying solely on innate talent and abundant resources is far from enough for further cultivation. To truly achieve a higher realm, one must possess supreme wisdom and an unwavering will.
At this stage, the chaotic will that once aided the cultivator's growth has instead become a stumbling block to progress. Therefore, the cultivator needs to replace the object of visualization with the form of the Heavenly Destiny God.
One point that deserves special attention is that the laws controlled by the Chaos Beasts are all incomplete.
The reason for this is that these laws have been scattered too fragmented over the long years, and many cultivators have absorbed and absorbed the laws and principles contained within them.
This is why Hu Lei had a good reason to use the pretext of standing up for the Holy Mother of Fire to directly target Luo Xuan.
However, in the world of gods, every law is filled with endless variables and unknowns.
It should be understood that within the chaos, there is not just one type of law that can control the fire element. Even the Heavenly Dao of this world probably cannot know for sure how many kinds of chaotic beast laws the fire element law in the Divine Realm is formed by the fusion of their respective laws.
Therefore, every law contains infinite qualities and possibilities.
Furthermore, as the cultivation process progresses, the closer it gets to the final stage, the more difficult it becomes for the chaotic will to achieve unity.
While visualizing the Chaos Golden Crow cultivating the Fire Element Law, the Fire Element Law Daoist essence it absorbs actually contains not only the Chaos Golden Crow's chaotic will, but also the chaotic will from other Fire Element Law Chaos Beasts.
In the initial stages, this complex situation may not lead to too much intense conflict, but once cultivation enters the later stages, conflict will inevitably break out.
Therefore, we must find ways to expel those external chaotic wills and replace them with our own firm will.
This is the form of the Heavenly Mandate God. Heavenly Mandate is me, and I am Heavenly Mandate. Heavenly Mandate is the Way, and I am the Way. I control the Great Way, and I am the God of the Way.
