Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1257: Chapter 99: Failure / Mother River

One hundred thousand years is not considered a particularly long time for Wang Sheng, who has already achieved immortality.

It’s not even enough to significantly advance his cultivation level.

Yet, it is enough for him to observe the cultivation trajectories of various special cultivators in the Primordial Ancestor World.

These trajectories are the processes through which the River of Destiny is formed.

He intends to mimic these trajectories and attempt to establish the River of Destiny.

“Most follow their original paths, becoming powerful cultivators and thus nourishment for the River of Destiny, but Su truly walked a different path.”

Since Su vaguely sensed that there was an issue with his cultivation path, he began to change.

He no longer intended to pursue his current path to its extreme but instead began to cultivate a Dao similar to his path.

Fate granted him a destined disciple bond and potent fortune, aiming for him to grow smoothly into at least a cultivator of the Fourteenth Realm, to serve as nourishment for the River of Destiny’s growth.

But perhaps due to this fortune, whenever he chose another path, it was always related to the Causality Dao, cultivating towards it, positively utilizing his immense fortune.

As a hundred thousand years passed, his cultivation speed remained the same as it had a hundred thousand years ago, not slowing to normal, nor accelerating.

To Su, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

Over the one hundred thousand years, the more he cultivated, the more he felt there was a significant issue with his previous cultivation path.

It wasn’t Wang Sheng’s reminder; he genuinely sensed the problem himself.

Moreover, he noticed that if he continued, he might get trapped with no way out.

He is fortunate to have known in advance and started detaching himself for a hundred thousand years, which led to his current achievements.

And for Wang Sheng, this was also a good thing.

He confirmed that cultivators like Su, who were used as nourishment for the River of Destiny, could indeed detach themselves and weren’t compelled to continue on that path.

“If I can succeed, I’ll start giving those cultivators hints, urging them all to attempt to break free.”

The River of Destiny requires these individuals to cultivate and grow, becoming nourishment.

And he will let all the “nourishment” escape.

He is curious to see if the River of Destiny can form smoothly.

Of course, the premise is that the trajectories he currently knows about can indeed allow him to use his created Destiny Dao to forge the River of Destiny.

Otherwise, he will need a long time to observe.

To construct the River of Destiny, he merely left an avatar in the Primordial Ancestor World, while his true body returned to the starry sky.

Whatever the dangers hidden in the Primordial Ancestor World, it’s definitely safer in the starry sky.

Upon returning to the starry sky, he entered the Great Tao River to find his created Destiny Dao.

The Destiny Dao has existed for over a million years since its creation.

However, for a Dao, a million years is but a fleeting moment; without interference, a million years might bring no change.

Of course, the Destiny Dao he created couldn’t be like that.

He began by manipulating the destinies of creatures to stir up waves, fostering the growth of the Destiny Dao, especially after Ye Feng broke through the Thirteen Realms and brought in many powerful starry sky creatures, greatly boosting the Destiny Dao’s growth.

And that still only accounts for thirty percent of the Destiny Dao’s current growth.

The remaining seventy percent is a gift from the starry sky.

It’s the mysterious energy seized by the starry sky from the Corrosive Fate Dao after the victory on the Supreme Road.

This mysterious energy rapidly accelerated the growth of the Destiny Dao he created, even aiding his ascension to Heavenly Immortal, and significantly helping the Destiny Dao grow.

The combination of the two is what led to the unprecedented growth level of the Destiny Dao, which is less than a million years old.

Though still far from a true Great Tao River, it’s not weak by any means.

Because the new Destiny Dao was his creation, he could naturally achieve total control over it, just like with the current Space-time Dao.

With a wave of his hand, the Destiny Dao appeared instantly.

The current Destiny Dao contains the destinies of countless creatures.

The fluctuations in these creatures’ destinies continually promote growth.

Strands of destiny energy wander within the Dao.

Even the slightest movement could affect the destinies of countless creatures.

The creatures that could be affected are all starry sky creatures, and naturally, Wang Sheng doesn’t want to cause too much unrest in the starry sky because of his attempts.

“Let’s halt the destiny planning for now!”

As he spoke, the abilities that were constantly manipulating the destinies of creatures ceased operations.

Immediately after, he dispersed some celestial power to stabilize the planned destinies.

With his celestial power maintaining, even if the Destiny Dao is destroyed because of the attempt, the starry sky creatures won’t be affected.

The destiny planning halted, and the destinies of the starry sky creatures were fixed, unaffected by fluctuations.

“Now let’s give it a try.”

“The River of Destiny must use the Destiny Dao as its cornerstone; the core must naturally be the Destiny Dao.”

Just as the River of Space-Time takes the Space-time Dao as its absolute core, the River of Destiny’s absolute core must naturally be the Destiny Dao.

If Wang Sheng wanted to use any other Dao as the core, it might be somewhat challenging.

But since the new Destiny Dao was his creation, there’s naturally no pressure.

“Manifest the Destiny Dao, and then activate the power of the Destiny Dao, utilizing it as the core and cornerstone. The power is insufficient to stably form the subsequent River of Destiny.”

The River of Destiny in the Primordial Ancestor World hasn’t formed yet.

But it’s not like he can only see the River of Destiny.

The River of Space-Time still exists in the starry sky.
