Destiny and fatedness are not the same thing.
Fate is a reality, which is formed through the convergence of external conditions and internal conditions, like a web, affecting and constructing each other ultimately to become a reality.
&nsbp;You have your fate, and he has his fate. Correct? Fate can complement each other, such as Ji Chiang and Jiang Zitiau. It can also conflict, like Deng Chanyu and Gao Laneng before. The one who was originally destined to become a peach blossom starlet was Gao Laneng, but she was directly driven into the sewer by her impact.
The fatedness is ethereal and intangible, yet it does indeed exist.
It seems like Bo Yincai, who was deceived by the moonlight to go on a journey to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures, has a high fatedness that no one in the vast primeval can match. However, his actual fate is quite different from his destiny.
Destiny determines the limit. Hong Yun's fatedness is probably very high. After obtaining the Huanglong Zihu Qi, his destiny has reached an extreme. Unfortunately, with a good hand, he ruined it himself, ultimately resulting in death and disappearance of Dao.
Deng Chanyu's original fatedness was not high to begin with; at the most, she was just a Six Harmonies Star Master. It was only after she merged with the phoenix's clone and then became a disciple of Nuwa that her destiny changed through postnatal efforts. Now, with the existence of the Huanglong Zihu Qi, her fatedness has taken another significant step forward.
The upper limit has been significantly enhanced, along with more uncertainty. Originally, it was just a small stream where she could see the end with her ability. She would not drown if she stood in the water. Now that her destiny has undergone a qualitative leap, she seems to be in an infinite void universe. She does not know where her future lies, and a feeling of fear cannot help but arise in her heart.
Roku's voice echoed in her ear. "Your Dao heart is not much different from this."
"Get out!"
Deng Chanyu is quite uncompromising.
Roku's power left in the Duanshen Sword was depleted in the two previous scenes. Although he saw a chance now, he was short on strength and could only regretfully abandon it.
Deng Chanyu ignored Roku, channeling all her spiritual energy to sense the new fatedness. She also extracted a little merit from the Merit Gold Wheel to enhance her wisdom, strengthen her resolve, and keep her spiritual platform always in a state of clarity.
After one incense burn, she gained some enlightenment. Holy things are indeed holy, but they may not necessarily be good in the conventional sense.
Now it's a fundamental transformation. Before, she used the Wanhuang Dao body to imitate the sacredness that belonged to Nuwa. That's still Nuwa's, and no matter how similar it is, it's still imitation. Now she has a bit of sacredness that belongs to herself.
Her eyes hide a faint purple color at the deepest part. This symbol of transition from mortal to sacred is very shallow, but there's a difference between having and not having it.
At this moment, when she looked back, all the quasi-saints in the Huanglong realm were considered powerful beings in this realm of transition from mortal to sacred. However, after careful reflection, she felt that the fatedness of these powerful beings was not enough. After years of effort, their fatedness had locked their upper limits. Whether it was Duo Treasures, Zhenyuan Zi, or Zhao Gongming and Jin Ling Shengzhuo, their fatedness was not sufficient to cross the chasm between quasi-saints and sages.
From now on, when it comes to fatedness, it might be said that only the saints are higher than Deng Chanyu. Because after the Huanglong Zihu Qi ceased to resist her, it nearly filled her fatedness. The reason for saying nearly is that it is limited by her cognition; as a Taiyi Jinxian at the moment, she can only see this level.
"Okay? The great work is done. Has there been any change? Is your tail getting longer?" Ya Ji looked at her around, from front to back, after messing around for several years. "What's this? Just like this?"
She tried to touch the tip of the snake's tail with her finger and also measured it with a roll of fabric used for making children's clothing by the honghu bird. It seemed to have grown by an inch? Deng Chanyu turned around and glared at her angrily. What are you measuring?
"Besides this tail, are there any other changes? Don't tell me you've lost weight?" Ya Ji, with her belly prominent, had become distinctly plumper since the baby inside her. If Deng Chanyu had actually slimmed down, she would really feel frustrated.
Deng Chanyu didn't know how to explain it. Previously, her "level" could only reach 70, but now she could reach 900. That's probably just a little bit of a difference?
She said seriously, "I need to seclude myself for a period of time."
Ya Ji, being a serious member of the Xuanmen (Mystic School), knew that she had serious business to attend to. She nodded readily, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the house."
Deng Chanyu directly entered seclusion, not for the Taiyi to be promoted to the Da Luo, but to adapt to the Hongmeng Zihu Qi.
Anxiety! This was her most direct thought after her essence absorbed the Hongmeng Zihu Qi.
This thing is beyond imagination in its sanctity and grandeur.
What should we do?
She felt that blending into the darkness, becoming one with the darkness, would enable her to resist it and no longer fear it.
It is now time to adapt and make her body more compatible with the Hongmeng Zihu Qi.
Deng Chanyu went into seclusion, while Phoenix and Moonlight emerged from it. Their original bodies had fused with the Hongmeng Zihu Qi, though it was just a trace of what had been absorbed by Red Cloud previously. Even they benefited from it now.
The biggest obstacle for Phoenix to become the Emperor of Ziwei has been cleared, and as long as she creates a little trouble, she can ascend to the position with her subordinates adding a piece of clothing. The fatedness is more than enough.
Moonlight also experienced a significant boost in her fatedness. Originally, her fatedness was that of a bodhisattva. With the help of Deng Chanyu and Phoenix, she was barely elevated to the level of a Buddha. Now with her fatedness drastically improved, after the two sages, Jieyin and Zhitui, leave, she will have no problem becoming a Buddha herself.
The Shengshen (Heavenly Realm) has now evolved from the initial small and scattered state, with more deities residing there. In accordance with the customs of the vast primeval era, naturally, a celebration is in order. It's not a small celebration, but a grand one.
The war among Han State, Zhou State, and Qi State in the past was inappropriate for Wu Tian to host a banquet. You are the supreme ruler of the three realms, not the supreme ruler of the heavenly court. According to the convention of Huanglong, it should also be within your jurisdiction. There were countless corpses scattered on the ground in human affairs because they killed and killed indiscriminately. How could you hold a feast with music and dance here? It is not appropriate.
Now that the Central Plains have been unified, humanity has finally obtained true peace. The officials want to celebrate, and Wu Tian cannot refuse.
The Banpo Great Meeting has officially begun!
The gods of the heavenly court itself, such as Zhenyuanzi, these veteran quasi-sages, immortals from Jie and Chuan sects, as well as the many Buddhas and bodhisattvas from Buddhism, and scattered immortals like Zhong Huangzi are all included in the invitation list.
This is a grand event for the three realms, especially as the great disaster "just" ended. Before, the Eastern Primordial Qinghua Emperor asked Deng Chanyu if the great disaster had ended. This is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon. These days without the internet or experts and professors, for disciples of Jie and Xuan, the great disaster had ended several years ago. However, for a larger range and a larger number of scattered immortals, whether the great disaster had ended was still a question mark.
The Banquet of Peaches is a signal to the three realms that the great disaster has officially ended, and everyone can return to the good days of eating and waiting to die. Let's continue the music and the dance!
Wu Tian, as the supreme ruler of the three realms, declared that the great disaster had ended. The other immortals recognized this and were relieved. Since there was no longer any danger, they naturally wanted to go to the celestial court for a banquet to celebrate and alleviate their fears.
