Chapter 278

"I hope you don't let me down!"

Hongxuan comprehended the Fate Law to 92% and had long since awakened a divine ability: the Eye of Fate.

He could clearly see through the fate trajectory of living beings.

Especially mortals below the Celestial Immortal realm.

In his eyes, there were simply no secrets to speak of.

When they were born, when they would die.

What tribulations they would encounter in between, and even what happy events they would meet.

Hongxuan could see through it all at a glance.

The more thoroughly he comprehended fate, the more Hongxuan felt how terrifying and strict fate was.

Words like breaking free from the shackles of fate or defying heaven, which are spoken among mortals.

Perhaps he would have subconsciously believed them before.

And even believed that one day he could truly do it.

But now, it seems, how difficult that is.

Just speaking of mortals, unless their life destiny is extraordinary, it is almost impossible to get rid of the control of fate.

Even the so-called glimmer of life is destined in fate.

How terrifying.

Of course, if a top-tier powerhouse of the Primordial World takes action, and fate is involved, there is indeed a small chance to break free or change it.

One can imagine the cruelty of it.

The youth originally tested this time had his fate fully exposed under his Eye of Fate.

In this person's original fate, he would accidentally enter a nearby mountain range in three years.

And luckily obtain a martial arts inheritance from a human Seven-Tripod martial artist.

Back then, Shennong divided martial arts levels into nine stages, from one tripod to nine tripods.

Only by reaching the Great Perfection of the Nine Tripods could one cultivate an immortal body.

And even enter the path of immortality through martial arts.

While a Seven-Tripod martial artist could not enter the path of immortality through martial arts and could not cultivate immortality, they were considered a very powerful class among human martial artists.

That the youth could obtain such an inheritance proved that his opportunity was not small.

And the facts were indeed so.

After this person obtained the martial arts inheritance, it only took him ten years to reach the Seven-Tripod level, and after another ten years of cultivation, he successfully reached the Great Perfection of the Nine Tripods and entered the path of immortality through martial arts.

He even cultivated a very rare constitution.

The Star Spirit Body.

He could even absorb star spiritual energy to cultivate immortality.

Unfortunately, after this guy entered the path of immortality through martial arts, his luck seemed to be much worse.

Because of various sudden situations, he missed the opportunity to join a sect.

Ultimately becoming a lone cultivator.

He couldn't even obtain subsequent cultivation techniques.

After much accumulation and countless years of struggle, he luckily managed to purchase a lowest-level technique.

With this, he stepped onto the path of cultivating immortality.

Unfortunately, the time wasted before was too much, and he missed the golden period for cultivation.

Leading to his cultivation speed becoming slower and slower later on.

It took him thousands of years to barely cross the tribulation and become an immortal.

And he became an immortal with that kind of lowest-grade garbage technique.

Causing his foundation to be unable to enter the eyes of powerhouses.

His subsequent cultivation path could be described as miserable.

Countless years of struggle finally exchanged for the cheapest cultivation resources.

If an ordinary person encountered this situation, they would have long since lost heart and been unable to persist.

But this person was different; his will was firm.

He never wanted to give up.

If a thousand years didn't work, then ten thousand; if ten thousand didn't work, then one hundred thousand, one million years.

Finally, after he didn't even know how much effort he had spent, he finally advanced to the True Immortal realm.

And not long after advancing.

It seemed his luck had returned.

During an accidental herb-gathering trip, he stumbled into the slaughter of two groups of people who were about to perish together.

The spoils that the two groups were frantically fighting over happened to fall into this child's hands.

Instantly, this child entered an even more miserable life of fleeing.

Fortunately, that spoil actually contained a very profound immortal cultivation technique.

He also relied on this immortal cultivation technique to make rapid progress in his cultivation.

In a short time, he broke through to the Profound Immortal and Jin Xian realms.

The time spent was even shorter than the time it took to advance from Celestial Immortal to True Immortal.

One can imagine how much that immortal cultivation technique helped him.

Unfortunately.

After reaching the Jin Xian realm, his potential was also exhausted.

Due to the lowest-level incomplete techniques he had practiced in the past, plus the fact that he had taken too many pills that consumed potential during the cultivation process.

Now it was time for the backlash.

Even with the immortal cultivation technique in hand, he had no possibility of breaking through to the Taiyi Jin Xian realm again.

Even reaching the middle stage from the early Jin Xian stage was a luxury.

At that time, he was incomparably regretful and self-reproachful.

For countless years after, he still struggled in the Jin Xian realm.

No matter what method he thought of, it had no effect.

Finally, in the era of Xia Jie, during a small battle of Shang Tang's conquest of Xia, he was hit by a mere combat aftermath.

And perished and vanished.

This was this child's original fate trajectory.

In Hongxuan's eyes, none of this could be hidden from him.

And the reason Hongxuan paid special attention to this child.

Was because the immortal cultivation technique this child luckily obtained in the future was exactly the inheritance he had left behind in that mountain range after one of his seclusions.

It is just a pity that this child's potential was exhausted.

Otherwise, relying on this technique, cultivating to the Taiyi realm would have been more than enough.

Hongxuan remembered very clearly.

After that seclusion, his mood was very good.

So the inheritance he left behind was still very high-level for him.

That this child could obtain this inheritance showed that he had a tiny bit of fate with Hongxuan.

Plus, this child entered the path of immortality through martial arts and actually cultivated the Star Spirit Body.

As the Lord of All Stars, Hongxuan was even more sensitive to this.

In view of this.

Hongxuan specifically placed the test target on this child this time.

If he could succeed, he would obtain incomparably great benefits.

Conversely, if he failed, even if he perished and vanished, it would still be much better than the misery in his original fate!

While Hongxuan was testing, he was also giving the other party an opportunity.

Whether he could grasp it would depend on himself.

Hongxuan hid in the void, looking at the youth's figure below with expectant eyes.

"Hmm? Have I returned to my youth...?"
