Talent alone could not guarantee success; one also required opportunity and luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the \"Karma-Slaying\" sword technique reached great completion, one could select a target, establish a causal connection with them, and then slay the \"karmic obstacles\" between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger these \"karmic obstacles,\" the greater the benefits obtained after slaying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the person wielding the \"Karma-Slaying\" sword technique was instead killed by the target, it also counted as eliminating the \"karmic obstacles,\" and the target could also receive a feedback boost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chen had not only practiced \"Karma-Slaying\" to the Creation Realm but had also combined it with the top-tier Buddhist divine ability [Three-Body Buddha] and the Daoist \"Slaying the Three Corpses\" to create his own path to sainthood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei had killed Bai Chen three times in succession, and with Zhang Yuanhong \"fanning the flames\" in between, the depth of the accumulated causality and the amount of \"karmic obstacles\" slain far exceeded what a simple \"Karma-Slaying\" sword technique could normally influence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the feedback he received at this moment was far beyond imagination!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of the [Sword Sacrifice] divine ability shone upon Bai Chen's corpse, and instantly, flesh and blood dissolved, white bones turned to ash, and all implants and Dao foundations melted away into the radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene looked as if Bai Chen were sacrificing his own body to the sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the energy converted by the [Sword Sacrifice] divine ability after consuming Bai Chen's body was not directly obtained by Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy served only as a catalyst; in the dark, a vast aura descended and landed upon Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the experts on the Baifeng Plain felt it; in particular, the True Persons who had reached the True Spirit Realm and the top-tier True Persons could \"see\" a vast white rainbow descending from the sky, eventually forming a spectacular white pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It supported the heavens and connected to the earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pillar of destiny?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Heaven and Earth Inversion Five Elements Array, Xuan Xin was the first to notice the anomaly. He couldn't help but glance outside the array, and then he saw the pillar of destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a phenomenon that could only form when destiny reached a certain level, usually belonging to some powerful force or organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No individual's destiny, no matter how thick, could reach such a degree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hook-Deep Sword Sect... Li Fei, well done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xin also knew the art of divination; after a simple calculation with his fingers, he roughly understood what was happening and couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King below and laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This grand trend, it really might not be on the side of your Buddhist school!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Baifeng Plain, Li Fei stood beneath the pillar of destiny, bearing this massive surge of destiny!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood what benefits this causal feedback brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was destiny!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slaying karma to attain the Dao is the theft of another's destiny and fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the number one prodigy in history, having repeatedly broken cultivation records and created all sorts of history, so he already carried great destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with being a high-ranking Marquis of the state and a minister entrusted with the dying Emperor's will, he also carried a portion of the Great Lan Dynasty's destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Bai Chen had been able to kill him while a causal connection existed, the feedback of destiny obtained would have been astonishing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on this destiny, Bai Chen would truly have had a chance to break through to the Martial Saint realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, the Hook-Deep Sword Sect had existed for over four hundred years and likewise possessed great destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Fei had led men to break into the Hook-Deep Sword Sect's base that night, Bai Chen, the Hook-Deep Sword Master, was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Hook-Deep Sword Sect's destiny was tied to this Sword Master; with him sitting in command, most of the sect's destiny had not yet dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Li Fei had killed Bai Chen, the Hook-Deep Sword Sect could be said to have completely perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the pull of causality, the Hook-Deep Sword Sect's four hundred years of destiny all flowed back as feedback!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but there was also the personal destiny of Bai Chen as a Grandmaster of the Dao-Establishing Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Li Fei, as a Martial Dao Master and True Person, had killed a Grandmaster in reverse—this feat broke cultivation records and created new history, which also brought destiny feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the one he had killed in reverse was only Xu Jing of the Flourishing Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was even more exaggerated; he had killed a Grandmaster of the Dao-Establishing Realm, so the destiny feedback was naturally even more intense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all these various destinies layered together, a pillar of destiny was created!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the blessing of destiny, six stars lit up within the [Primordial Sword Realm].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These six stars spontaneously gathered together, showing a tendency to fuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the fusion was complete, Li Fei would naturally break through to become a Grandmaster and a top-tier True Person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destiny upon him was pushing him to break through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei shifted his intent and exerted his full power to drive the [Refining Matter] divine ability, which finally halted the trend of breaking through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianyi had only been able to break through with six divine abilities back then because, to achieve yin-yang balance, he could only have three martial divine abilities and three spell divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Fei now had four martial divine abilities and two spell divine abilities, which also achieved balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because he possessed the [Primordial Golden Palace] and [Refining Matter], two divine abilities capable of regulating yin-yang balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, it was because he was a unity of spell and martial, using his body as a vessel; the integration of spell and martial was more thorough than Lin Tianyi's, so the requirements for yin-yang balance were not as strict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, Li Fei could fully pursue the ultimate seven divine abilities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After creating the [Primordial Sword Realm], he had already planned out how to walk his path forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Dao principle could be \"pieced together\" by at most seven divine abilities; Li Fei did not want to leave himself with regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to pursue the seven-divine-ability spell-martial integration that no one in history had ever achieved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he forcibly halted the momentum of his breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be difficult for anyone else to do this; they could only passively endure, unable to actively control destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Fei had experienced the blessing of destiny more than once and had even used destiny to refine divine ability seeds, so he could be called experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with his [Refining Matter] divine ability, this gave him a great deal of room to maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his right hand, palm upward, and destiny flowed toward him continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the pillar of destiny vanished, replaced by a scorching white ball of light in Li Fei's palm, like a small sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hundred years of destiny, all in my hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the battle on the Baifeng Plain began, starting from 5:00 AM today, the eighteen city gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the city-protecting array was also activated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original city-protecting array was built relying on the city walls, merely ensuring the walls were strong enough not to be easily broken by top-tier experts, which would allow the enemy army outside to enter the city directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when the Western Continent Allied Forces arrived at the city gates, the enemy did not send soldiers to attack the city but instead dispatched over a hundred bombers to launch an attack from the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanling City's city-protecting array had no defenses against the air; after all, even if a few experts could fly, the city had its own experts to meet the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for large flying artifacts, their numbers were few, so there was no need to specifically build an array capable of air defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since that battle, the Great Lan Dynasty had spent massive resources over nearly ten years, with Xiang Yunshu, a True Monarch, personally presiding over it, leading a group of True Persons from the Orthodox Law Pavilion to strengthen the original city-protecting array, turning it into an array that could protect the entire city in all directions once activated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, if a master proficient in spells were to look down from the air, they would see a huge light shield faintly covering the entire Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xirong Gate, one of the eighteen gates of Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The general responsible for guarding this gate was named Xi Yan, belonging to the City Guard Army; he was an Assistant Regional Commander leading three thousand troops, responsible for holding Xirong Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, Xi Yan had received orders; from the morning on, he had been standing by with his soldiers, ready for battle at any time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, we've been on alert for a whole day, and there hasn't been any movement. Is it possible someone is really coming to attack the city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the city wall, a Regional Military Commissioner said to Xi Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Lan Dynasty had been established for over five hundred years; apart from the Western Allied Forces back then, no other army had been able to reach the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the First Imperial Prince and the Prince of Li had jumped out to \"rectify the Emperor's side,\" the Southern Border Army was still thousands of miles away from Lanling City; how could they possibly arrive so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when the orders from above were issued, many soldiers felt very puzzled, not understanding who they were supposed to be defending against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Less talk! Since the higher-ups have spoken, just execute the orders properly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan scolded sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guard Army and the Imperial Guard of Lanling City were both armies of great consequence; one was responsible for guarding the Imperial City, and the other for guarding the outer walls of Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the two most important lines of defense for the capital!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for the generals of the City Guard and Imperial Guard, the most important thing was not personal ability, but loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how fiercely the Crown Prince, the First Imperial Prince, and the Third Imperial Prince had fought over the years, and no matter how much the imperial court was affected, two systems had been able to avoid the scourge of factional strife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Imperial Guard, and the other was the City Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan's ancestors had been in Lanling City for five generations, and every generation had someone serving in the City Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he, as an Assistant Regional Commander, was only a level-12 military officer, his appointment had been personally confirmed by the Emperor, and he had even entered the palace to meet His Majesty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan considered himself burdened with imperial grace and was absolutely unwilling to fail the Emperor’s trust, so he treated this order with great seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being scolded by him, the Regional Military Commissioner at his side dared not say more and was just about to withdraw when he suddenly heard someone ahead shout:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, there is movement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan was startled upon hearing this; he exerted force through his feet and leaped to the edge of the city wall in a single step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Xirong Gate was a flat expanse of land with almost no weeds, covered entirely in the tracks left by passing vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the city gate was sealed, hundreds of people had gathered outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people had all rushed here from other regions; some intended to enter the city to conduct business, while others planned to visit relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the gate closed, they could not get in, and not knowing when it would open again, they had no choice but to wait near the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the twilight was about to fade, a low, humming Buddhist chant suddenly arose on the imperial road, and six figures walked slowly out of the dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan was a Dao Foundation realm martial artist with excellent eyesight; he focused his gaze and saw that these six figures were clearly six monks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every step the six men took, lotus patterns appeared and disappeared, swirling in the dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson cassocks draped over the five leading old monks seemed to have melted the sunset’s glow, with thousands of fine golden patterns appearing and disappearing as the fabric surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly made Xi Yan hold his breath was the young monk in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jade-like precious light faintly permeated the other’s fair skin, and the Sanskrit characters woven in gold thread on his patchwork cassock moved like living creatures, as if the sun, moon, and stars were alternating in brightness between the folds of his sleeves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All units, take defensive positions—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan decisively issued the order in a loud voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than sandalwood incense suddenly arose from thin air, and the commoners at the city gate, who had been clamoring just moments before, stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first old woman to kneel had her white hair move without wind, and her wrinkled forehead struck the mud heavily; then followed the woman holding an infant, and the wandering martial artists carrying swords and blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the kneeling bodies of hundreds of people rose and fell like waves of wheat, and the muffled sound of foreheads striking the ground gradually converged into a strange rhythm, like the wooden fish constantly being tapped in a temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young monk in the center pressed his palms together and softly chanted a Buddhist name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was not loud, yet it could be heard clearly by Xi Yan and the others on the city wall a thousand meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which high monk of the Buddhist school has come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Yan’s heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old monk is Jing Heng, here to visit Lanling City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young monk’s voice sounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, a golden wheel dharma image suddenly appeared behind his neck, and the faint phantom of a heavenly dragon could be seen circling within the nine-layered halo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven-colored udumbara flowers bloomed on the withered trees by the road, and milky-white nectar gushed from the cracks in the stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the city wall, the spears in the hands of the city guards fell uncontrollably to the ground, and the iron armor on their bodies shone brilliantly under the reflection of the Buddha-light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, this voice had only reached the Xirong Gate, but then it pierced directly through the city-protecting array, surging into the city like a tide, and the sound grew louder and louder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old monk is Jing Heng, here to visit Lanling City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sound passed through the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and finally reached the imperial palace, it was already as loud as thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Lanling City, the translucent protective shield activated by the city-protecting array was now rippling with wave after wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This city-protecting array’s anti-air shield could withstand the full-force attacks of several Grandmasters, yet at this moment, it was being shaken incessantly by a single voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jing Heng?
