Chapter 541 - 529: Threads of the Future
Wang Xuan sat quietly below the Tower of Space-Time, condensing his own Creation Rules. Once successful, his combat power would achieve a leap.
At that time, even without using the conventional power of the Heart Sword, he could reach the Void level, comparable to a Void Realm cultivator.
If the Heart Sword is driven by the Rule Power, it could take him even further, with the potential to slay weaker Void Cultivators.
Because ordinary Void Cultivators would condense domains, but only the excellent ones transform their own domains into rules. Once the Rule Power cultivation reaches Perfection, it is the Peak of the Void Realm.
Thus, one can see how high Wang Xuan, who is condensing Rule Power in the Grotto Void Realm, is pursuing. Once successful, it would surely be an achievement that shocks the world.
By that time, even Void Cultivators would have to lower themselves and call him a fellow Daoist, viewing him as a peer.
...
The City of Ten Thousand Beasts was bustling, even more so after the arrival of the Longevity Taoist, drawing countless demons who heard the news.
For them, if the Longevity Taoist grants a fortune, it would allow them to struggle on for decades or even a century.
It might even help them cross a gap they couldn’t in a lifetime.
How could they miss such an opportunity?
Calling friends and bringing family, in a short time, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was overwhelmed with demons.
Even the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had to step in to control the number of people entering the City of Ten Thousand Beasts to prevent overcrowding.
A black wild boar the size of an elephant, accompanied by a harem and countless offspring, queued with its head held high to enter the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
It laughed heartily, "Good brother, good brother! You didn’t forget me for such good fortune; truly, you are my friend, Hei Ganglie!"
In front of it was a brightly feathered rooster, who, seeing the Black Pig Spirit arrive, unfurled its elegant plumage.
This was a testament to its bloodline transformation; yesterday it was still a mixed-blood wild chicken, but now it had awakened part of the Cyan Simurgh bloodline, becoming a true sacred descendant.
Such a transformation can be described as a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
Seeing his friend’s transformation, the Black Pig Spirit grew even more excited, knowing that what his friend said was true, and that the Longevity Taoist was indeed immensely powerful.
"Did you bring my wife and kids?" the brightly feathered rooster asked.
Hearing this, the Black Pig Spirit was taken aback and became embarrassed.
"I, I forgot,"
Thrilled by the friend’s news, it couldn’t sit still, hurriedly packing and coming over, forgetting even the friend’s instructions.
"What?!!!" The brightly feathered rooster was furious, "You brought your wife and kids over and forgot all about mine?"
Why did I bother to inform you then, telling you all the good things about the Longevity Taoist?
The brightly feathered rooster fluffed up in anger, pecking fiercely, "You ungrateful scoundrel, go and die!"
With that, the two demons fought in a tangle, attracting a crowd of demons to watch.
When the brightly feathered rooster, looking dejected, brought the Black Pig Spirit to the Longevity Taoist, a long time had already passed.
The square where the Longevity Taoist resided was already packed, crowded with countless races.
Wings spread and soaring birds, beasts roaming the land, sea beasts gliding in the ocean, and sacred beings with bloodlines from mythical ages returning to their ancestors.
They were experiencing the miracles brought by the Longevity Taoist, witnessing such a myth benefiting all beings, unwilling to leave.
The powerful are always the center of civilization, like a bonfire bringing light and warmth in the dark night, attracting countless creatures to approach.
The arrival of the Longevity Taoist in a place is like the Buddha descending into the world, where he resides becomes the Pure Land, so how could they not yearn for the Pure Land?
As a Celestial Demon, the Black Pig Spirit was a Great Demon running rampant in its hometown of Siberia, strutting with its family daily.
But sensing the numerous Celestial Demons around, numerous holy bloodlines, and even the aura of Demon Saints, the Black Pig Spirit’s legs grew weak.
And upon seeing the Longevity Taoist, it trembled nervously, unable to lift its head.
The Longevity Taoist appeared kind and gentle, but his presence was vast like a towering Divine Mountain, with a Merit Sun glowing behind his head, too dazzling to look at directly.
The Black Pig Spirit opened its mouth, struggling to say something, but couldn’t until the brightly feathered rooster kicked it, urging it to pay respects.
The Black Pig Spirit, with its family, paid respects, exclaiming, "Junior wishes to offer all possessions, to do good in the future, begging for the senior’s mercy."
When they actively sought affinity, the gears of destiny began to turn.
Wang Xuan looked down at the Black Pig Spirit family, as the power of time flowed like a river of destiny.
Instantly, numerous forks appeared, with the future of the Black Pig Spirit branching out into numerous clear paths before Wang Xuan’s eyes.
Among these paths, most were slender and short, indicating that these futures were not good.
But a few paths were robust and extended, indicating its future achievements would be considerable, living for many years.
In one future, after receiving the bloodline rune bestowed by him, the Black Pig Spirit continually gained fortunes, advancing rapidly in this mythic era, with its cultivation level reaching the Void level.
With it as a pillar, the entire Pig Race became a powerful force with talented offspring.
Of course, that would be three to five hundred years later.
In one future, without being granted any fortunes, the Black Pig Spirit returned to its hometown Siberia, only to encounter a chaotic space storm and fall into a mysterious realm, obtaining the inheritance of a Demon Spirit.
Later, it fed on all things of heaven and earth, devouring countless races and creatures, reaching the height of a Half-Step Immortal, yet unable to find a way back to Earth Civilization, living its life as an exile.
In another future, after obtaining the bloodline rune, the Black Pig Spirit caught the eye of a Demon Saint in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, and its whole family was taken under their wing.
With substantial capital and fortune, the Black Pig Spirit became the son-in-law of that Demon Saint, eventually becoming a Half-Step Immortal of Earth Civilization.
In these three futures, the Black Pig Spirit achieves significant success.
It’s important to note that among the billions of people and numerous Life Planets of Earth Civilization, there are only two dozen Immortals.
Only the absolute prodigies have the hope of becoming Immortal, even then with the requisite power, resources, comprehension, talent, and opportunities.
The Void Realm and Half-Step Immortal are already absolutely high levels in Earth Civilization.
Therefore, this Black Pig Spirit, which can achieve the Void Realm and Half-Step Immortal in the future, holds unlimited prospects.
Even among all the creatures whose futures Wang Xuan observed today, it ranks in the top three.
Wang Xuan wore a smile on his face, saying, "You are fortunate, I bestow you the Celestial Pig Blood Rune, hoping you become a useful demon to Earth Civilization in the future."
Saying this, he flicked his finger and the bloodline rune fused into the Black Pig Spirit’s body, exciting it immensely.
The Celestial Pig bloodline, once fully awakened, becoming a pure-blooded demon race, reaching Demon Saint in the future becomes a certainty.
"Thank you, Longevity Taoist! Thank you, Longevity Taoist!"
The massive Black Pig Spirit kowtowed repeatedly, grateful for the Longevity Taoist’s bestowed opportunity, secretly vowing to become a useful demon.
Wang Xuan advised, "Do not return today, stay in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Your destined person will appear today."
An image of a Demon Saint appeared in the Black Pig Spirit’s mind, and it nodded continuously, offering endless gratitude to the Longevity Taoist.
As it withdrew, the Merit Sun behind Wang Xuan suddenly shifted, and the already enormous Merit Sun expanded by three parts in an instant.
Wang Xuan’s heart was filled with continuous joy.
Previously, he could only see one kind of future: the one with the highest probability and the most likely historical trajectory.
But on the Black Pig Spirit, he saw numerous future paths, born of different choices and environments creating different futures.
Undoubtedly, his Time Domain had made significant progress, ascending a level compared to before.
’To foresee the future, this ability is too powerful, even more miraculous than the plundering and granting of Creation Domain.’
Indeed, the power of time is overwhelmingly powerful, no wonder creatures capable of mastering time power are so rare as to be nearly unheard of.
Amidst Wang Xuan’s contemplation, Long Yu, at some unknown time, had arrived with a group of True Dragons, casting gazes upon Wang Xuan.
The scene where the Black Pig Spirit received its fortune just now was naturally seen by Long Yu, confirming his subordinates’ previous reports were not false.
Compared to his subordinates’ fear of the unknown and the miraculous, his heart was filled with greed and desire.
’This Longevity Taoist must have the ability to mass-produce geniuses, perhaps through some sort of Divine Art or artifact!’
Such things in the hands of Earth Civilization have a terrifying effect of aiding the enemy, must be seized!
But if in his hands, his future immortality would be hopeful! He could even use it to create an unprecedentedly powerful force, unparalleled in past and future!
