Ning Xunqiu originally sought to escape from the "Seal of Mountains and Rivers".

First, he killed Jiang Hong, then he slew the Profound Flood Dragon.

He formed significant karmic connections with the two strongest forces in the Qingxu Realm: "Divine Land Orthodox Sect" and "Four Seas Dragon Clan".

He actually had two choices.

First, he could ignore the Ancestral Dragon; the Ancestral Dragon would refine the Fallen Saint Spear, control the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and attain "Celestial Emperor", even rendering the "Immortal Divine" powerless.

Then the Dragon Race would become the destined protagonist, pursuing Ning Xunqiu across the world to settle karma.

End.

Second, he could disrupt the Ancestral Dragon’s grand plan. Divine Land Orthodox Sect could suppress the Ancestral Dragon, while Moral Immortal Sect would support "Mountain and River Co-Ruler Hong". Hong intended to attain "Immortal Divine · Tenth Heaven of Hongyun Heaven", reclaiming all Mountain and River Fortune.

Then, Ning Xunqiu would strike down the Mountain and River Co-Ruler, and the great powers of Moral Immortal Sect would surely act; he could not fend off their attacks alone.

End.

A dilemma.

But Ning Xunqiu didn’t need to think; he had only one path, first to suppress the Ancestral Dragon, this most dangerous figure.

Then, he would rewrite lives in other worlds, improve his Dao practice, perfect his Jade Sky Divine Techniques, and refine a Slaughter Treasure.

Only then could he find an opportunity in reality to intimidate the divine with the "Slaughter Treasure", combined with the protection of Master Liuli, reaching a level even "Divine Land Orthodox Sect" would fear.

This was the right path!

At that moment.

Ding.

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the unique golden life achievement "End of Celestial Mandate": one sword breaks Hongyun Heaven, standing proudly at the end of Celestial Mandate.

You, an unexpected variable, who was laughing and talking just a moment ago, suddenly burst with anger and drew your sword, causing the "Mountain and River Co-Ruler Hong" of the Qingxu Realm, who was blessed with destiny and abundant fortune, to fall completely.

Mountain and River Co-Ruler, burdened with destiny, fortune in abundance, should be undying and indestructible, even sacred beings of the Qingxu Realm could hardly move him, yet you broke this rule with extraordinary means.

This achievement transcends 100% of beings in the Qingxu Realm.

Receive a unique golden special reward.]

Suddenly, golden light shone.

The Celestial Derivation Volume in Ning Xunqiu’s hand instantly restored its dazzling golden radiance.

"Unique golden achievement?"

He was stunned, "Duan Hong, Duan Hong, you are indeed generous, gifting me such a heavy reward upon our reunion."

The Profound Flood Dragon was also kind, insisting on giving him a red achievement with his life when he left the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, thereby allowing Ning Xunqiu to obtain the "Magical Treasure: Cyan Mountain Seal".

Now, this golden life achievement filled him with immense joy.

Counting carefully, Ning Xunqiu’s life achievements include only three golden achievements, each astonishing.

"Draw the golden reward," Ning Xunqiu anticipated, hoping to draw another Three Immortals of Jade Sky body, and if he could form a complete Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy, he could refine a "Fallen Saint Spear".

[Drawing...]

[Congratulations, you have received the golden life special achievement reward——"Mountain and River Co-Ruler Dao Fruit · Fragmented"]

Ning Xunqiu’s Spiritual Acupoint Heaven and Earth.

A mysterious talisman silently appeared beside the Primordial Spirit.

"Dao Fruit?!! The Mountain and River Co-Ruler’s Dao Fruit!? Can this really be drawn?"

Ning Xunqiu’s eyes were filled with shock.

Mountain and River Co-Ruler Hong was capable of "Words Become Law" and "May Your Wishes Come True," and according to the information on the golden achievement "Mountain and River Co-Ruler," the value of this Dao Fruit was immeasurable.

"Fragmented Dao Fruit?"

Ning Xunqiu’s gaze fell on the word "fragmented" on the Mountain and River Co-Ruler Dao Fruit, but he didn’t care too much.

"Even if it’s fragmented, to what extent could it be? As long as any authority within the Dao Fruit can be used by me, its value is already beyond imagination."

He hurried to check the specific information on the "Dao Fruit".

[Mountain and River Co-Ruler Dao Fruit · Fragmented]

Mountain and River Co-Ruler is the Celestial Mandate of Qingxu Realm, and his Dao Fruit possesses nine great authorities.

One, Ten Thousand Laws cannot affect him, missing, unusable.

Two, Words Become Law authority, missing, unusable.

Three, Planning Heaven and Earth authority, missing, unusable.

...

Seven, Three Calamities Celestial Punishment authority, missing, unusable.

Eight, Enlisting All Gods authority, missing, unusable.

Nine, Merit Fortune authority, missing, unusable.

...

"Huh?"

Ning Xunqiu reviewed the talisman repeatedly, his brows tightly knitted, "Are all these authorities incomplete?"

He focused intensely, his Primordial Spirit opened its eyes, and his consciousness delved into his mind, attempting to sense the Dao Fruit’s power, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without stirring any ripples.

At this moment, Ning Xunqiu’s Primordial Spirit finally sensed something unusual—the Dao Fruit was utterly devoid of any words.

Evidently, this was merely an empty shell.

"What fragmentation, it’s nothing at all, just fooling ghosts." Ning Xunqiu felt a bit disappointed.

"Forget it." He quickly adjusted his mindset; in this life, the matter with the Ancestral Dragon was resolved decisively, so compared, wasting a golden achievement reward was acceptable.

"Whoa——"

At this moment, in the sky, the spirit formed by Baiyun, the "Big Fish," was chasing the Gentle Wind Spirit, emitting cheerful cries.

A gust of gentle wind brushed by, Ning Xunqiu felt refreshed.

Among the Eight Great Wind Spirits, aside from the Gentle Wind Spirit and Harmony Wind Spirit, the other wind spirits stirred strange winds driven by Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, so Ning Xunqiu only allowed them to play in the Sea of Ruins.

"An empty Dao Fruit?"

Ning Xunqiu looked up at this scene, revealing a thoughtful expression, "As the Cyan Mountain Daoist Master, I inherently possess authority akin to the Dao Fruit of the "Mountain and River Co-Ruler" in Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth."

"Then—"

He must try before he would be satisfied.

"Inscribe ’Mountain and River Celestial Destiny Dao Fruit’ as a Cyan Mountain Dao Lineage Magical Treasure——"

Ning Xunqiu felt the growth of Daoist Inheritance Fortune significantly, yet his Primordial Spirit sensed nothing extraordinary in the empty Dao Fruit.

"Still unsuccessful..."

Ning Xunqiu gazed at the blank Dao Fruit for a long time, waved his hand, and the Daoist Inheritance Artifact Spring and Autumn Brush fell into his hand, but he couldn’t inscribe any words.

"How to use it then..."

"If ordinary writing doesn’t work, could Qi Fortune or Merit work?"

Ning Xunqiu glanced at his own Qi Fortune panel.

[Qi Fortune: One ~ Seventy-One.]

After rewriting Qingxu Realm using ten points of Qi Fortune, he now had only one usable Qi Fortune left, no, this one Qi Fortune was the trace of his existence; he wouldn’t use it.

In that case, he’d have to wait until next year for another point of Qi Fortune.

A thought sparked in Ning Xunqiu’s mind: "Could I borrow the abundant Qi Fortune of Cyan Mountain Dao Lineage to use?"

He slightly shifted his thoughts, and the Qi Fortune of Cyan Mountain Dao Lineage left a mark on the empty Dao Fruit; as Qi Fortune continually injected, the power of the Dao Lineage began to slowly weaken.

A moment later, the Daoist Inheritance Fortune diminished by roughly thirty percent.

The once blank Dao Fruit was rejuvenated, with a golden line emerging atop, it seemed to possess life, slowly moving upon the talisman.

Then, as Ning Xunqiu reviewed the Dao Fruit’s information again, it displayed:

[Cyan Mountain Dao Lineage·Dao Fruit]

Cyan Mountain Daoist Master, leveraging the fragmented Mountain and River Celestial Destiny Dao Fruit, evolved using the power of Daoist Inheritance Fortune.

[Evolving authorities...]

[Dao Fruit Authority——Enlightenment.]
