Heavenly anomalies manifested, the earth trembled, the void transformed, and nature descended into chaos.
The wind howled.
Dark clouds gathered.
Lightning crackled.
Torrential rain descended.
The wind was a wind filled with extraordinary colors!
The dark clouds were also clouds filled with extraordinary colors!
The lightning filling the sky was even more extraordinary in color, and even the torrential rain was filled with extraordinary colors.
Chaos!
Utter chaos!
Everything was in chaos.
Yin and Yang were.
The Five Elements were.
And people, even more so.
Cultivators, one after another, no longer feared the might of heaven, no longer hid within their sects, nor within protective formations. They rushed out with boundless excitement, cheering, shouting, embracing, and madly absorbing—for this extraordinary color was none other than Spiritual Color.
Those extraordinary dark clouds were also Spiritual Clouds.
The extraordinary lightning was also Spiritual Lightning.
Even the extraordinary-colored torrential rain was Spiritual Rain.
When heavenly anomalies manifest, wonders are sure to follow.
And at this very moment, the Spiritual Color filling the sky was that wonder.
The Spiritual Energy of this world had become incredibly abundant in an extremely short time.
This Spiritual Energy was pure Spiritual Energy, primordial Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Energy that was encountered by chance, not sought.
Let alone in that ancient era of depleted Spiritual Energy and scarce resources, even in the Present-Ancient Era of universal revival, such Spiritual Color energy was rarely seen. One must know that this Spiritual Color energy was even purer than the radiant Spiritual Energy of the Immortal Court.
People madly absorbed the Spiritual Color here, like a long drought meeting sweet rain.
Not only cultivators were like this.
Flowers, plants, trees, and all living beings were the same.
Flowers bloomed and blossomed.
Trees grew strong and tall.
Across the world, radiant light blossomed like a hundred flowers vying for beauty. In just a short hour, who knew how many exotic flowers and rare herbs were nurtured, how many Spirit Stones and Spirit Veins were formed, and how many people saw their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, even attaining the Dao and becoming Immortals. Looking around, the sky was filled with Spiritual Color, everywhere, dazzling the eyes and inspiring awe.
Great Northwest.
Taohua Temple.
Taohua Old Daoist stood in the courtyard, staring dumbfounded at the extraordinary colors filling the sky. After a long while, he finally sighed, "This is truly a wonder of the world…
Spiritual clouds and rain bestow grace upon the earth, truly an auspicious Spiritual Color omen. Not only have the youths of the Present-Ancient Era caught a good time…
Those old fellows have finally endured to see the light…
After such an auspicious Spiritual Color event, Immortals and Demons in this world will probably be everywhere from now on."
Beside him, Gu Qingfeng also watched the scene, his heart similarly filled with emotion. However, what moved him was not this wonder of the world, but the extraordinary significance contained behind this world wonder.
During the ancient cataclysm, the Three Thousand Great Daos were all affected, and who knew how many Immortals, Demons, and Buddhas perished. The Great Desolate Heavenly Realm was undoubtedly a wasteland.
In order to recover their vitality as quickly as possible and seize the initiative, the Three Thousand Great Daos could no longer restrain themselves and had begun to force growth. Just as Taohua Old Daoist said, after this auspicious Spiritual Color event, Immortals and Demons would probably be everywhere. And Gu Qingfeng knew even more that not just this world, but all the endless great worlds between heaven and earth were probably the same. The originally desolate Heavenly Realm would probably regain its prosperous vitality before long.
After this auspicious Spiritual Color event, there were no losers. The Immortal Dao was a winner, the Demonic Dao was a winner, the Buddhist Dao was a winner, the Heavenly Dao was a winner—all Three Thousand Great Daos were winners.
Whoosh!
Suddenly.
From somewhere, a silvery-white radiance bloomed.
This radiance was exceptionally pure, without a trace of turbidity, and supremely sacred, like divine light or holy light. When it bloomed, it was like a flood dragon ascending, piercing through the clouds and shooting straight into the heavens.
"What a sacred, pure light!"
Taohua Old Daoist fixed his gaze, his heart filled with extreme puzzlement. "I wonder what this auspicious Spiritual Color event has nurtured to be so pure… Wait!
Something's wrong, good heavens…" As he spoke, he seemed to realize something, his expression instantly changing drastically as he blurted out, "Heavenly Destiny!
Heavenly Destiny has appeared!"
That's right!
It was Heavenly Destiny!
Gu Qingfeng only needed one glance to immediately know that this sacred, pure light was the sign of Heavenly Destiny's appearance. Because when he cultivated in this world before, he had both ascended to the Immortal Dao's Heavenly Destiny Throne and the Demonic Dao's Heavenly Destiny Throne. In the Heavenly Realm, he had even ascended to the Nine Nethers Emperor's Seal.
Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with this thing called Heavenly Destiny; he was much more familiar with it than others and clearly knew that between heaven and earth, only Heavenly Destiny could be so sacred, and only Heavenly Destiny could be so pure.
Why?
No reason why.
The so-called Heavenly Destiny is not only the Heavenly Dao's dominion over the fates of all living beings; in ancient times, it also represented the sacred decrees of the gods.
Since it is the sacred decree of the gods, how could it not be sacred?
"Kid Gu!
Heavenly Destiny!
Heavenly Destiny has appeared!"
Taohua Old Daoist appeared quite excited. Seeing Gu Qingfeng's indifferent expression, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, kid? Heavenly Destiny has appeared…
Aren't you going to seize it?"
"No."
"But that's Heavenly Destiny…
You kid…" As he spoke, Taohua Old Daoist suddenly remembered that Gu Qingfeng had once ascended to the Peerless Immortal-Demon Heavenly Destiny Throne, hailed as the greatest under heaven, unique in the ancient era. Heavenly Destiny might be fatally tempting to others, but to him, it seemed like just another thing.
"This is the new Heavenly Destiny of the Present-Ancient Era. Aren't you interested, kid?
Don't you want to know what kind of Heavenly Destiny it is?"
"I don't want to know, and I'm not interested."
Gu Qingfeng truly had no interest. It wasn't because he had ascended to the Peerless Immortal-Demon Throne and the Nine Nethers Emperor's Seal, but because he knew that the so-called Heavenly Destiny might grant you supreme status, supreme authority, and supreme power.
But at the same time, it would also saddle you with a supreme mission. For others, this might be supreme glory, but for Gu Qingfeng, the so-called Heavenly Destiny was a shackle. Put nicely, you are a messenger of the gods; put bluntly, you are a slave of fate.
Even more terrifying was that this thing was very difficult to shake off.
One could even say it was impossible to shake off.
At the very least.
Back then, even Gu Qingfeng at his peak didn't know how to rid himself of the Heavenly Destiny on his body.
What made him feel fortunate was that during the ancient cataclysm, he was half-judged to death by the various Great Daos, and both the Peerless Immortal-Demon Throne and the Nine Nethers Emperor's Seal were destroyed, allowing him to shake off the shackles of fate. He had no desire to become a slave of fate again.
Whoosh!
Another sacred and pure radiance bloomed.
Not long after, another one…
A fourth…
A fifth…
A sixth…
One after another, sacred and pure radiances bloomed, piercing through the clouds and shooting straight into the heavens. And each one was a Heavenly Destiny Light, meaning each Heavenly Destiny Light represented one Heavenly Destiny.
A ninth…
A tenth…
A twelfth…
The Heavenly Destiny Lights continued to appear without stop.
Taohua Old Daoist deeply swallowed a mouthful of saliva and murmured, "Damn, this is too crazy. So many Heavenly Destinies have appeared."
Boom! Crash!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another nine Heavenly Destinies appeared all at once.
"Madness!
Sheer madness!"
Just as Taohua Old Daoist was exclaiming in amazement, the Northwest region shook violently. Immediately after, a Heavenly Destiny Light pierced through the clouds and shot straight into the heavens.
