The Supreme Path's disciples don't need an Immortal Fate?
Fang Xing was startled by the tree's words and couldn't react for a long time. He asked again to confirm this statement and looked at the tree with a strange gaze: "If I don't have an Immortal Fate, how can I cultivate?"
"You don't know?"
The tree was also surprised and asked: "Did I see wrong and you aren't a Supreme Disciple?"
"I should be a Supreme Disciple …"
Fang Xing's expression was very strange: "But I also need an Immortal Fate …"
"Eh … I saw that you purposely messed up the ceremony and thought that you were the same as the previous Supreme Disciples and didn't need an Immortal Fate!"
This time, the tree was extremely confused. Facing Fang Xing's anxious gaze, it hurriedly replied: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. I only know that demons, devils, buddhas, and daoists all need an Immortal Fate. However, there is one exception — the Supreme Path's disciples. Hmph, ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Path's disciples were extremely arrogant. Even the leaders of the demons, buddhas, and daoists would be polite to their ordinary disciples. Their path of cultivation was completely different from the other daos. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that they were able to use a single scripture to transform their true form into a strange tree rooted in this world is enough to show their prowess!"
"Could it be that there is something I didn't notice?"
Fang Xing knew that even though the Strange Buddha Tree had turned into a living being, its essence was still there and it wouldn't lie easily. At this moment, he hesitated for a long time before returning to the Skeleton Shrine without saying a word. He sat down and pondered carefully …
At this point, Fang Xing did not have to worry about the strange Buddha Tree causing trouble. Fang Xing had memorized the Ninth Scripture of Supreme Scripture, Freedom Scripture. To a certain extent, it was equivalent to learning the Band-tightening Incantation on the monkey's head. If he chanted it at any time, he would be able to torture the strange tree to death. This was also the reason why the strange Buddha Tree had always been afraid of Fang Xing and wanted to kill him from the moment he appeared …
"The Supreme Path doesn't need an Immortal Fate to cultivate?"
Even now, he still found this information unbelievable. It seemed that the Supreme Path had a lot of secrets!
In fact, ever since he first came into contact with the Supreme Path, he had already felt that this orthodoxy was different from the rest!
First of all, the disciples recruited by this orthodoxy were all outstanding existences in various aspects. From the Spiritform Scripture, Undying Scripture, and Perception Scripture at the very beginning, it already encompassed the three most important foundations of cultivation. One was the ability to refine, one was the strength of one's physical body, and the last was the strength of one's soul. Without a doubt, the existences that created these three scriptures were absolutely three people who had respectively cultivated their cultivation speed, physical body, and soul to the extreme. Only such legendary existences were able to write these miraculous scriptures!
As for the middle stage, the Unfettered Scripture, the Solitary Breath Scripture, and the Formation Breaking Scripture, they corresponded to movement techniques, divine abilities, and martial techniques respectively!
Obviously, these were three top-notch inheritances of the same kind. At the very least, Fang Xing had never met a worthy opponent among cultivators of the same realm after he started cultivating them. Even a freak like Lv Fengxian, who was born with a Battle Physique and should be the number one in martial arts, was able to compete with him after Fang Xing cultivated the Supreme Formation-Breaking Scripture. This was a very incredible thing …
As for the later stages, the Dao Seeking Scripture and the Heart Questioning Scripture were even closer to the Dao. Even now, Fang Xing didn't dare to say that he had completely mastered them!
It could be said that each of these eight scriptures could establish a Dao orthodoxy that would be passed down for tens of thousands of years!
As for the Supreme Dao, it was a strange orthodoxy that gathered all these profound scriptures into one …
Fang Xing had inherited the orthodoxy of the Supreme Dao. His path of cultivation had always been specious and different from ordinary cultivators. It also allowed him to break through many shackles, such as the transformation of the Sea of Consciousness into the Realm of Consciousness, the use of one Qi to control ten thousand techniques, and a powerful physique. These subtle differences allowed Fang Xing's cultivation to progress rapidly. Moreover, his foundation was solid, which was an existence that ordinary people couldn't imagine!
The first eight scriptures were already so mystical. Then, what was so special about the last scripture?
"It seems that if there's any mystery, it's probably hidden in the ninth scripture?"
Fang Xing sat cross-legged with rapt attention and took a deep breath. In his mind, the scripture's meaning began to flow …
The Supreme Freedom Scripture!
Just now, he saw it, and even roughly read through this scripture. Moreover, every single word and sentence was deeply engraved in his mind, to the extent where he could even recite it. However, the principles within were extremely difficult, and he did not understand much. At this time, he already realized where the problem lay. Perhaps after he truly understood this scripture, he would be able to discover the true principles of the Supreme Orthodoxy, and comprehend its mysteries!
"The world is vast. Seek the Dao to solve your doubts. Seek the truth from your heart. Cut off all the lives, split the heavens and earth, and find your true self!"
Fang Xing recited silently. He fell into a strange state as if he had turned into a statue.
The Great Void Baby realized that something was wrong. He didn't dare to disturb him and could only sit at the entrance of the Skeleton Divine Palace obediently. He looked at the Strange Buddha Tree, who was chattering away in a daze and had no idea what was going on …
"That can't be. Why does this disciple of the Supreme Dao look like an imposter?"
The Strange Buddha Tree was at a loss.
"Hey, heavens, can you help me fulfill my wish?"
The Great Void Baby was also bored. He started chatting with the Strange Buddha Tree and pretended to be cute.
"What wish?"
The Strange Buddha Tree glanced at the Great Void Baby disdainfully.
"I'm an existence in the vast universe. If I want to turn into a human … I don't care if it's not a human, as long as it's a living being …"
The Great Void Baby was very obedient.
"Uh … I'm the exact opposite of you. I just want to turn back …"
When the strange tree heard this, it was as if it had found a confidant, and it immediately became somewhat excited.
The old man and the young man chatted happily, almost forgetting about Fang Xing.
Of course, Fang Xing also forgot about them. He was immersed in the contents of the Ninth Scripture and had entered a mysterious state. To him, the Ninth Scripture was definitely not just the Ninth Scripture. It was a primer that would draw out some of the hidden secrets of the other Eight Scriptures. It was like the last link of a huge formation or the finishing touch to a dragon. Fang Xing, who was studying the scripture, was not just studying the scripture. He was more interested in the secrets revealed by the scripture …
"Severing nine hundred and ninety-eight lives, splitting the heavens and earth to reveal one's true self …"
As he comprehended the scripture, he felt that he had first sunk into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, then into his Realm of Consciousness. After that, his entire body seemed to grow bigger and taller. In the end, he had already surpassed his Realm of Consciousness and actually arrived outside it. Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life. He saw himself, who was even bigger than his Realm of Consciousness. He was actually sitting cross-legged in an endless void, and there were thick iron chains extending from an unknown place, tightly wrapping around him …
They extended from the depths of the void and wrapped around his body. Fang Xing did not need to count them to quickly understand that those chains were the nine hundred and ninety-eight lives mentioned in the scripture. Each life was a chain that eternally shackled his Zizai True Body. There were 81 chains in total. Once these chains were severed, he would obtain Zizai …
"So … from now on, my path of cultivation will be different from others …"
Fang Xing took a deep breath and said with a frightened expression.
"So, this is the great liberation …"
He spoke slowly. When he reached the end, he suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was extremely strange.
"So, the Taishang Orthodoxy really should be destroyed …
"So, I really need to destroy the world …
"So, I'm just a chess piece, forced into the chessboard that was set ten thousand years ago …"
He muttered to himself. He looked down at himself and suddenly burst into laughter. The more he laughed, the crazier he became.
What he did not know was that when he laughed, he was also laughing in the Bloody Sea Realm. His crazy laughter shook the entire Bloody Sea Realm, causing waves of blood to surge. Even the Great Void Baby and the Strange Tree Buddha were scared out of their wits. The Strange Tree Buddha was trying its best to calm the surging sea of blood, but it realized that it could not do it. The sea of blood seemed to be attracted by Fang Xing's power …
"This … this is indeed the Taishang Disciple … the real deal …"
The Strange Tree Buddha was shocked and angry. It cried out in fear.
"Aiya, if I knew Master was so fierce, I would have respected him more …"
The Great Void Baby was also scared out of its wits. It kept burrowing behind the Strange Tree Buddha's trunk.
The laughter grew louder and louder!
However, it was not a joyous laughter. In fact, it could be said that the laughter was filled with inexplicable sorrow!
It was more like a helpless, self-mocking laugh!
The one laughing was himself!
At this moment, a deep sorrow appeared on the face of Fang Xing, who was laughing maniacally. His eyes were filled with sorrow.
At this moment, he only felt that everything was so ridiculous and laughable. It was as if he had never expected that he, who had always been a carefree person, who had lived willfully and freely, who had lived as he pleased until now and was prepared to continue on this path. But now, when he read the last scripture of the Sovereign Daoist orthodoxy, he realized that everything had been decided ten thousand years ago. The more others cultivated, the more carefree they became, and the more they sought to transcend. However, his path actually became narrower and narrower …
Now, he could see the path ahead of him, but how should he choose?
"I didn't expect that there would be two paths in front of me …"
"Should I stop here, find another successor for the Taishang Path, disperse my cultivation base, and live in seclusion?"
"Or should I follow the calculations of the Taishang Path and move forward step by step, walking into the … dead end that they had planned for me?"
