Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 861 - 855: Entering the Gathering Place
Chapter 861 -855: Entering the Gathering Place
The Destiny Principle is an invisible and intangible, yet omnipresent magical law.
Any being with life cannot escape the binding of destiny!
Because any fate or fortune is related to it!
Some people place the Destiny Dao and the Karma Dao in opposition and parallel, claiming these are the two most inscrutable principles beneath time and space!
Qin Feng has some understanding of the Karma Dao because, in the Biluo Cultivation Realm, one of the three major cultivation systems is Buddhism, which values karma the most.
Because of this, he was certain that when he was lost in the Time River, the Great Light Temple would owe a significant karma to the Beast Taming Sect.
In the future, the deeper the cooperation between the Great Light Temple and the Fallen Angels, the more benefits they derive from the Light God Clan, the greater the debt of karma to the Beast Taming Sect, and compensation must be made.
Otherwise, even if their Glazed Glass Light King Buddha proves the Dao of Creation, they will be entangled endlessly by the power of karma.
As for the Destiny Dao, it is even more ethereal.
Some high monks and great virtues in Buddhism excel in the Karma Principle but are not proficient in the Path of Destiny.
Relatively speaking, it is still Daoism that delves deeper into destiny.
For instance, the word “opportunity,” which Daoism cultivators like to use, in a way belongs to a form of destiny.
Daoism is very unique; unlike Buddhism, which places too much emphasis on karma, and not like Confucianism, which analyzes the principles of the world, but it encompasses all and absorbs cultivation systems from various realms and races, becoming part of the Daoist cultivation system!
This is related to the fact that human clan cultivators originally learned various cultivation techniques from other races.
If the human clan had been inherently strong, naturally, they would not have needed to learn the cultivation techniques of other races.
However, the human clan was inherently weak, which led to the initial struggles of the ancient primordial human clan, necessitating every effort to become stronger to survive.
As a result, they developed this habit of assimilating the cultivation techniques of various races, and even today, when the human clan is very powerful, they can still garner many benefits from differing races and cultivation systems.
It’s just that Buddhism separated very early on, establishing their own unique cultivation system, becoming the second largest lineage of the Primordial Human Clan.
In fact, Confucianism’s influence and spread are not in the least inferior to Buddhism. In many areas, it’s even more prosperous because Confucianism represents the cultural heritage of the human clan, passed down through generations, never to be extinguished.
It’s just that Confucianism flourished after the human clan had a solid foothold, and historically, in the cultivation world, its foundation is not as deep as both Daoism and Buddhism, which places it third. But when it comes to actual strength, it’s really hard to say!
In comparison, Daoism cultivators are the most powerful and flourishing.
This can be seen from Buddhism occupying the Western Regions and Confucianism dominating the Central Region, yet the remaining three regions all being territories of Daoism cultivators.
However, because they are so strong, numerous sects and factions emerged, making it difficult to integrate them all together.
Moreover, each sect has different cultivation philosophies. Some advocate following the natural order, some seek to defy fate, some elaborate on heavenly principles, and others intercept a breath of life from the Heavenly Dao. There are all sorts of different beliefs.
At first glance, it seems contradictory, but it is indeed a natural result of the vast and complex Daoist cultivation system.
Because of such a large number of Daoism cultivators, naturally, among the countless brilliant cultivators through the ages, there is no shortage of those who practice the Path of Destiny. Even among the current great powers of Biluo, there is an Immortal Golden Immortal adept at manipulating destiny.
Furthermore, many great powers in the cultivation world capable of prediction calculation and divination into the future have, to some degree, delved into destiny!
Like Gui Ling Ancestor, although mainly focused on prediction calculation, once this skill is elevated to the Golden Immortal Realm, naturally, they will gain some understanding of destiny, though not as formidable as those specializing in the Destiny Dao.
In fact, if Qin Feng can advance to immortal, when his prediction divine power reaches the corresponding realm, he would also have some sensitivity to the destinies of himself and other beings.
Unfortunately, his current realm isn’t high enough. Although a Profound Immortal is considered a strong entity among ordinary immortals and gods, as long as he isn’t a Golden Immortal, he’s just an average immortal or god. Only upon advancing to immortal can he possess his own unique Dao Principle, and further explore the deeper layers of destiny.
Therefore, when Qin Feng learned of the little girl’s talent being part of the Destiny Principle, he was naturally both startled and delighted.
Although he encountered this little girl a bit late, and the nine main spiritual beasts in the Demon Refining Pot already have ownership, preventing him from incorporating the path of destiny into his cultivation system, he was still very pleased.
Because, with time and prolonged exposure, he would eventually learn more about destiny, prompting him to make choices more beneficial to himself.
As for the Seven-Colored Divine Flower previously held and used by the little girl, it wasn’t obtained from elsewhere but naturally grew from her, serving as her medium for employing destiny divine power.
And the little girl herself is a Seven-Colored Flower Elf, naturally born from the transformation of plant forms!
Because of this, even when she exhausts the Seven-Colored Flowers, given enough time and ample energy, she will grow new ones again, ensuring they don’t become unusable after one use. Otherwise, she would have already perished in this perilous Abandoned Land.
Over the years, she has relied on the power of destiny to gather followers like the Elephant-Headed Demon God, and has also used the power of destiny to avert one crisis after another, turning danger into safety each time. Not only has she built a small force of her own in the Abandoned Land, but she has also advanced from a Lower God Spirit to a Middle Rank God.
Had it been other plant spirits, they would not have enjoyed such fortune!
It’s precisely because her power of destiny allowed the Elephant-Headed Demon God and the Void Jellyfish to see hope for survival, and potentially, a chance to escape this place if they grew strong enough, that they came to regard the weak little girl as the core of their team!
Once Qin Feng fully understood the control of the Seven-Colored Flower and the little girl over the power of destiny, he felt a sense of relief, as well as the reason why, despite her possessing the power of destiny, he could easily capture her.
The power of destiny, while formidable, is difficult to use directly as an attack means, mostly relying on coincidences to influence opponents.
Moreover, since the little girl is somewhat weaker, her control over destiny is still far from sufficient, so she cannot rely solely on the power of destiny to act arbitrarily.
For instance, Qin Feng’s cultivation realm in all respects is much stronger than hers, so her power of destiny has very little influence on Qin Feng, affecting him only to a limited extent, without being able to defeat Qin Feng.
Similarly, when Qin Feng summoned hundreds of monster demon gods into battle, the overwhelming number of strong entities left her at a loss.
Although her power of destiny fears not those of the same realm, when the number of demon gods is too overwhelming, if destiny power is spread over hundreds of demon gods, it similarly becomes challenging to exert much effect.
This is the reason why she seemed somewhat constrained in battle today.
Otherwise, against an ordinary divine spirit, she could easily use a destiny magic to put her opponent at a disadvantage. Even an ordinary upper divine spirit would, under her power of destiny and assisted by the Elephant-Headed Demon God and others, be sufficiently defeated, procuring victory for their team.
“””
This kind of thing has happened before.
Unfortunately, today they encountered Qin Feng, whose strength and the might of his subordinates are far beyond what they can compare to, so they were easily captured alive by Qin Feng.
Before entering the Abandoned Land, the Seven-colored Flower Elf lived in a land of carefree bliss, until she drew the attention of a mighty figure after becoming a god. The figure wanted to capture her and refine her power of destiny, so she fled in haste.
Unfortunately, destiny only guided her to a path to escape the capture of that figure, not realizing that this so-called path of life led to the Abandoned Land.
It is precisely because she lacks combat experience, and besides the power of destiny, she has no special abilities. Therefore, her mind is often not steady, causing her to be startled by various dangers, her expression changing frequently, showing a naive demeanor, wearing her emotions on her face.
After the Seven-colored Flower Elf explained everything, she eagerly urged Qin Feng to send her back to Beiming Immortal Mansion.
She really dislikes the scene of bones littering the Abandoned Land.
Qin Feng did not mind this, directly sending her into the Demon Refining Pot, and even allowed her to visit the Life Tree on the seventh layer if needed, as they are all plant spirits and should share some common language.
Actually, he wants the Life Tree to help the Seven-colored Flower Elf to see if it can accelerate her growth, allowing her to quickly recover and regrow the Seven-Colored Flower.
Although according to the young girl, the Seven-Colored Flower is merely a medium to trigger the power of destiny, it is most effective in her hands, but others can still use it, albeit with diminished effects without the power of Destiny Principle.
Qin Feng does not care much about whether the effect is diminished, as long as he has an opportunity to observe the operating method of destiny spells.
He even raised the idea of cultivating the Seven-colored Flower Elf. Although the positions for the main spirit beasts in the nine-layer spaces are already filled, this young girl is one of the few unrestricted demon gods inside the Demon Refining Pot.
Not only does he allow her to freely cultivate and absorb spiritual energy, but he also provides her with any needed resources and treasures, instructing the Divine Turtle and other main spirit beasts to fulfill any of her requirements for cultivation treasures if she visits their layers.
The young girl’s current realm and strength are still somewhat lacking. If she can advance further to the Upper Divine Spirit realm, her control of destiny will certainly surpass her current level.
At that time, not only will she greatly assist in battles, but she should also be useful when departing from the Abandoned Land.
When Qin Feng is crossing the Time River and encounters strong tides, if the young girl holds the Seven-Colored Divine Flower and casts Destiny Divine Power, uttering a word to ensure safety, misfortune might turn into fortune, smoothly crossing time!
After sending the young girl back to the Demon Refining Pot, Qin Feng pondered for a moment, calculating the benefits of destiny power for himself, and finally got up and continued moving forward.
This time, however, his mood improved significantly, no longer weighed down by the long-standing lack of interaction with others.
After all, isn’t it worth celebrating to have a subordinate with destiny power to assist him?
Set off westward again, but he did not use the Thousand-Mile House technique, instead relying on Shrinking Ground to Inch, his speed much slower than before.
So he spent several days walking before finishing the remaining journey, arriving at the area where the gathering place is located.
From afar, even before seeing the gathering place, Qin Feng sensed the multitude of massive auras mixed together in the distance.
These are numerous powerful beings from different races and different cultivation systems gathered together, emanating a unique aura. Each one does so to avoid being underestimated by others or to deter other strong beings from targeting them with sneak attacks, their aura released as if they are fierce tigers ready to devour anyone at any moment.
The aura of so many powerful beings mixed together seems chaotic, but upon closer examination, it is quite overwhelming, as the number of strong auras is truly immense.
As he drew closer, Qin Feng gradually began to see some structures appearing ahead.
These are structures built from various bones, including castles, palaces, houses, towers, and caves shaped like bone mountains, diverse and numerous.
The various exotic architectures are eye-opening.
Despite the apparent chaos of the structures, they are built according to a certain order, with wide roads leading to the gathering place, and no living creature dares to block the road with their buildings, otherwise strong beings passing by could devour them without needing an excuse.
These are merely the outer buildings.
Following the roads left among countless buildings, moving inward reveals residences constructed with various plants, bricks, and stones, different from the bone constructions outside.
Deeper in there are bronze-built castles, luxurious palaces, and magnificent flashing divine temples.
It is obvious that having such luxurious residences in the core area of the gathering place indicates that those beings are extraordinarily strong, definitely the top powers of this gathering place; otherwise, their residences would have been usurped long ago!
Qin Feng is not surprised about the presence of other materials besides bone in the gathering place’s constructions.
Many strong beings trapped in the Abandoned Land carry space treasures, and to some extent, they bring various treasures with them, accumulating enough to build a palace, not to mention those like him who possess treasures like palace and mansion.
Therefore, it is normal for strong beings to cultivate lavish residences in the core area of the gathering place.
Qin Feng is certain that there are others in the gathering place who, like him, own luxurious residences but do not dare to reveal them.
After all, if one lacks strength yet dares to live in such a luxurious palace, it is tantamount to displaying one’s wealth and inviting robbery.
In the Abandoned Land, there are no laws; the only rule is the law of the jungle, and it means exactly that. The weak are slain by the strong, their treasures taken, their flesh and blood devoured!
Qin Feng walked down the streets of the gathering place, observing countless life forms coming and going, diverse in shapes and heights.
There were humanoid creatures, plants walking in the street, strange entities of unknown names, various ghosts, zombies, demon creatures, even bizarre entities with constantly changing shapes or colors.
Some were only a foot high, others as large as mountains, various life forms gathering together, walking the streets, bizarre yet harmonious!
Even though Qin Feng had seen many strong beings across different worlds over the years, at this moment, standing in this gathering place, he was amazed at the sight.
Had it not been for his composure, he might have already been wide-eyed and astounded.
“Get out of the way!”
As Qin Feng was examining the strange monsters and looking around, suddenly a voice of anger came from behind.
Turning around, he saw a strong warrior from a strange race with sharp horns and bone spurs all over glaring menacingly at him.
