Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1588 - 737: Condensing the Heavenly Heart Mark, Ascending to Heavenly Immortal_2

"Haha, another junior has arrived at the Destiny Dao. My path is not lonely."

"However, wanting to leave one’s imprint on the Destiny Dao is not an easy task."

"Pass the examination, and you can leave a mark; fail, and you die."

"Junior, let us see how capable you truly are."

With these words, countless ancient immortal marks on both banks of the River of Destiny suddenly blazed brightly. Mighty and imposing projections of Heavenly Immortals broke free from the immortal marks, striding away from the imprint of time, manifesting in the void of destiny.

These projections are the remnant souls and Daoist Bodies of the powerful Heavenly Immortals from the Ancient Era who once ascended the Destiny Dao, attempting to engrave their Dao Seals.

They have various forms, some clad in Immortal Armor, wielding Immortal Swords, with overwhelming battle intent; others sitting cross-legged on Dao Platforms, holding dust whisks, with solemn Dao Rhymes; some wielding Immortal Seals, bearing Merit, with righteous energy. Each possesses a complete cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, with a thick and terrifying aura, surrounded by dense Destiny Dao Patterns, bearing the ancient Immortal Dao’s pressure.

"This."

In an instant, Jiang Fan suddenly understood how he should leave his Heavenly Heart imprint.

He needs to defeat these projections of immortals who once left imprints on the Destiny Dao.

Not only does the Destiny Dao operate this way, but other Daos probably do too.

This is why the birth of a Heavenly Immortal is so difficult.

To ascend to Heavenly Immortality, not only does one need to comprehend a hundred Heaven and Earth Laws, but also one’s internal Grotto Heaven must advance.

More importantly, one’s Primordial Spirit must enter the depth of the Dao and battle against the projections of ancient immortals.

If one is not strong enough, then there is no qualification to leave an imprint on the Dao.

"No wonder the greater the power of the Dao, the more difficult the birth of Heavenly Immortals becomes."

"Conversely, weaker Daos make the birth of Heavenly Immortals slightly easier."

"This is because powerful Daos have nurtured too many strong individuals, each leaving an imprint on the Dao."

"And these imprints, along with Immortal Dao Fruits, become part of the Dao itself."

"It is necessary to gain recognition from these immortals to grasp part of the Dao’s authority."

"After all, the weak controlling the Dao are merely cannon fodder."

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered; he instantly understood the scene unfolding before him.

He needs to crush these immortal projections to leave his own imprint on the Destiny Dao.

This is the examination for ascending to Heavenly Immortality.

It is also one of the biggest obstacles barring countless Earth Immortals.

Countless Earth Immortals have failed due to being defeated by these projections, thus unable to leave their Heavenly Heart imprint and unable to ascend to Heavenly Immortality.

Rumble~~~

One, ten, a hundred...

Countless Heavenly Immortal projections layer upon layer, covering the entire Destiny Dao Domain. Their eyes cold and blank, born only for examination, fighting without personal sentiment, without reservation.

As the Dao Rules are activated, all Heavenly Immortal projections simultaneously move, their steps shaking the ancient void. Destiny Dao Patterns explode and thunder beneath their feet, the entire heavens’ space of fate trembles violently, countless strands of cause and effect wildly fluctuating, as though the entire order of destiny is being crushed ominously.

Across the sky, Immortal Light shines brilliantly, countless Immortal Techniques roar, innumerable sword energies, Dao Seals, Immortal Thunder, and fierce winds bombard from all directions, locking onto Jiang Fan’s Primordial Spirit body, sealing all retreat paths.

This is the ultimate trial of the Destiny Dao — only those who defy destiny can leave their name behind. Those who obey the Celestial Mandate will be washed away by the river; only by enduring ancient immortal pressure and shattering the trials of destiny can one have the qualification to leave their eternal imprint at the Dao’s origin. "Come forth."

Facing the overwhelming, earth-shattering onslaught of Heavenly Immortals, Jiang Fan’s Primordial Spirit stood steadfast, his demeanor serene and dauntless.

His hands swiftly formed seals, within his Primordial Spirit the Destiny Dao Seed trembled violently, around him countless Destiny Dao Patterns, Five Elements Dao Rhymes, and the spiritual light of sun and moon instantly converged into a singularity, all gathering before him.

"Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin!"

A low call echoed throughout the River of Destiny.

The void before him suddenly collapsed and became silent, and a gigantic divine shield, pitch-black and deep, containing countless destinies, suddenly took shape. The shield’s surface was boundless, circulating Ruin Dao Rhyme like extinction; the body of the shield engraved with millions of intricate Destiny Patterns, collecting ten thousand lives, sealing ten thousand tribulations, devouring ten thousand methods.

This shield is not an offensive technique but the ultimate defense of the Destiny Dao, capable of absorbing all attacks of destiny, resolving all immortal techniques’ might, and dissolving all Dao impacts.

Boom boom boom—!!

Countless Heavenly Immortal projections’ torrent of Immortal Techniques crashed fiercely into the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin.

The brilliant sword light, mighty Dao pressure, roaring Immortal Thunder, and earth-shattering astral winds all smashed against the shield’s surface, unleashing endless Dao Rhyme shockwaves that caused the entire Fate Void to tremble violently.

Yet the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin remained steady as a rock, unwavering.

All the Heavenly Immortals’ immortal power and Destiny Dao attacks that bombarded the shield were entirely devoured, dissolved, and neutralized by the power of the Ruin within the shield. Countless onslaughts vanished like mud bulls into the sea, unable to cause even a ripple, utterly failing to budge Jiang Fan.

"Kill!"

With defense solid, Jiang Fan’s eyes turned sharp, and he immediately switched from defense to offense.

He formed his fingers into a sword, where the entire River of Destiny’s murderous Dao Rhyme, the power of Sun and Moon, Yin and Yang, and the Primordial power of the Five Elements all infused his fingertips. Heavenly Dao Thunderbolt frantically spawned, entwined, and converged between his fingers.

Countless Destiny Tribulation Thunder and Fate Divine Thunder crackled and exploded, the purple-gold thunderlight illuminating the Eternal Dao Domain.

"Life Thunder Heaven-Burying Finger!"

A finger swept across, burying the Celestial Mandate!

A purple-gold thunder finger extending across heaven and earth blasted through the void, carrying endless Destiny Thunder, holding the domineering divine might that buried the fates of all heavens, swiftly penetrating the layered illusory formations of the Heavenly Immortals.

Thunderlight shattered, Dao Patterns crumbled, and numerous weaker primordial ghost shadows of the Ancient Celestial Immortals had their Dao Body pierced by the Life Thunder, the ancient immortal traces on them instantly obliterated, their residual souls and Dao Bodies disintegrating, turning into streamers returning to the River of Destiny.

But the trial did not pause, stronger ghost shadows of the Heavenly Immortals stepped forward, relentlessly advancing.

Jiang Fan’s Primordial Spirit’s divine might grew more splendid, his eyes cold and clear, his palm suddenly ignited with a faint black-red divine fire. This fire was neither ordinary nor the True Sun Fire, but an unparalleled Dao Fire formed from the fusion of Karmic Fire, Life Fire, and Destiny Burning Fire, meant to burn Immortal Souls, refine Dao Bodies, and incinerate fateful karmic obstacles.

He held the Heaven-Burning Destiny Fire, the Dao Fire surrounding him like a wildfire, consuming all heavens’ delusions.

"Karma Fire Life-Burning Palm!"

A palm slammed out with a roar, the palm imprint covering the sky, the black-red Fate Karma Fire swept through the entire Destiny Dao Domain. The sea of fire roared, burning heavens and cooking Dao, any Heavenly Immortal spectral touched by the Karma Fire found their Immortal Light instantly dimmed, Dao Patterns rapidly dissolved, and their ancient Immortal Bodies were tightly encircled, burned, and refined by the Fate Karma Fire.

Mournful Dao sounds echoed in the void, countless powerful ghost shadows of the Ancient Celestial Immortals melted inch by inch in the Karma Fire, their Immortal traces shattered, Dao Body returned to Ruins, Destiny reduced to zero.

The fierce Fate Karma Fire burned across the eight desolations, the endless Immortal shadows were completely obliterated.

In mere moments, the heavenly expanse of trial ghost shadows from Heavenly Immortals was entirely cleared by Jiang Fan’s shield steadiness, finger slaughter, and palm annihilation.

The omnipresent warfire slowly dispersed, the tumultuous Fate Void once again returned to tranquility, the rushing and roaring River of Destiny calmed down to a peaceful flow.

"Not bad, I couldn’t have expected for my Path of Destiny to give birth to yet another mighty Heavenly Immortal; truly delightful."

"Junior, we have already failed, I hope you can continue moving forward until you master Destiny."

"Among the Great Daos of the heavens, only my Destiny is the strongest, I see in you the hope to consolidate the Destiny Dao Fruit."

The projections of each Immortal looked at Jiang Fan with great satisfaction.

They were all once Immortals who cultivated the Path of Destiny, but couldn’t withstand calamity, thus perishing.

One could say they were only briefly resurrected by the Destiny Great Dao, mere remnants of destiny from bygone times.

Rumble~~

The next second, all these Immortal projections dispersed entirely.

The river of once surging Destiny instantly regains its calm.

"This."

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted, he sensed as if he had gained the recognition of the River of Destiny.

His Primordial Spirit and the Destiny Dao resonated, a strand of indeterminate Dao Power settled upon him.

In an instant, an imprint of the Primordial Spirit thus dwelled upon the Destiny Dao.

It seemed at that moment, he had already become a part of the Destiny Dao, becoming one of the Heavenly Immortals on its path.

"Now I have finally ascended to a Heavenly Immortal."

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed a glimmer of excitement.

The moment the Heavenly Heart Imprint merged with the Dao, he sensed that the shackles on him were completely removed.

The Pocket World within him received an endless infusion of origin, starting to expand madly.

Even the power of his Primordial Spirit received a geometric increase.
