After re-experiencing the golden finger he had in the past and exploring [Destiny] to a certain extent, Zhou Qing left the Immortal Tree Secret Realm and returned to Black Cloud Town.
Standing in the peach forest, Zhou Qing was in a daze. The breeze blew, the peach blossoms swayed down, and the faint fragrance filled his nose.
This time the golden finger was refreshed and the true nature of the golden finger was revealed, which made him feel more and more sad about some things.
He had already guessed some things, but just thinking about such a result made him a little at a loss.
Zhou Qing is not simple, whether it is the current situation or the original origin.
But Zhou Qing himself is actually a person who doesn't like trouble.
Rather than being simple, there are secrets, which in a sense equals trouble.
"Destiny..."
Zhou Qing thought about the intuition in his heart that he could use the corner of destiny to pull something from destiny.
He sighed and whispered to himself: "It turns out that only I can take this step. This opportunity has been waiting for me."
At this time, footsteps sounded in the peach grove, and Lu Qingmo walked in from the outside. She was a little surprised to see Zhou Qing isolated in the peach grove.
For some reason, Zhou Qing at this time gave her a feeling that she was out of tune with the world around her, as if she would fly away the next moment and never appear in the world again.
Lonely, lofty, and indifferent.
Lu Qingmo walked to Zhou Qing and asked softly:
"What happened?"
Zhou Qing looked at her. Her face was as beautiful as ever, full of mature charm. It was engraved in his heart and would never be forgotten.
"Some questions that have been accumulated in my heart for a long time have been answered, but the answers... give me a headache."
Zhou Qingdao: "Actually, I have guessed the answer a long time ago, but after confirming it, it is still difficult to figure out."
"I don't know what my future will be like, I'm not even sure if I will have a future."
The golden finger is the corner of destiny.
The origin of Zhou Qing himself is not that of a normal creature, but that he was transformed into a human being from a mysterious colorful light on the earth.
The close attention of those who bear the destiny, the selection of the tree of destiny, and various other things really made Zhou Qing no longer able to see his own future clearly.
In the world of Earth, the Tree of Destiny grew, creating a person who carried the Destiny, and he also appeared on Earth.
Zhou Qing now doubts whether he himself is also related to the destiny?
If this is true, then what price will he have to pay in the future to repay all the gifts that Destiny gave him before?
What's more, there is no way to repay it.
When everything finally pointed to destiny, even Zhou Qing, who was already the master of the avenue, felt very powerless.
He didn't know what destiny was "plotting" on him when it was running like this.
Logically speaking, destiny is something without intelligence, self-awareness, or even instinct.
But why did this series of things happen?
From the beginning of the Tree of Destiny to the present, these layouts of Destiny are really not like objective things that do not even have instincts...
Zhou Qing was very worried. He was afraid that the final result would be something he didn't want to see, and that something unpredictable would happen after taking the last step.
Lu Qingmo stared at Zhou Qing, perhaps not even Zhou Qing himself. At this moment, there was a rare color in his eyes.
It seems like hesitation about the future.
Lu Qingmo stretched out his hand, held Zhou Qing's hand, and said seriously:
"Be still, no matter what happens, don't be impatient."
Zhou Qing sighed. This time, he was facing destiny, the source of everything and the end of everything.
Lu Qingmo then said: "If you are willing, I can be a listener."
"Aunt Mo, you also know that after the Tao Master, there is still one step to take, which is to carry the destiny."
Zhou Qing said slowly:
"The destiny of heaven condenses the heart of heaven, and the moment the heart of heaven manifests itself in the world, if the Taoist master who has obtained the heart of heaven is qualified to refine the heart of heaven, he will be able to carry the destiny of heaven and open up a new era."
"Well, you told me about this before." Lu Qingmo nodded.
"In this era of destiny, there are rumors that the heart of heaven will manifest and a new person who will bear the destiny will be born."
Zhou Qing took a breath and continued:
"This rumor is true, and a new Lord of the Era will definitely appear in this world."
Lu Qingmo looked sideways, a little surprised.
"The Lord of the new era is me." Zhou Qing said.
Lu Qingmo: "..."
What?
Lu Qingmo was confused for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
This... is too confident!
Zhou Qing added: "I know this sounds weird, but what I said is true."
"The Lord of the New Era is me and only me, no one else is possible."
"Everything is already doomed."
Lu Qingmo's expression condensed. She had some understanding of Zhou Qing's meaning and said:
"You mean, someone arranged all this?"
"It's not people who arrange all this." Zhou Qing shook his head and said.
That's right, by this time, Zhou Qing already knew the answers to many things.
In this era, there will be opportunities to carry the destiny. This news comes from ancient destiny bearers such as Sanqing.
Why did Sanqing and others have such judgment and prediction?
The reason was what they learned after the Destiny War, and they knew that there would be someone who would take away the Tree of Destiny in the future.
The opportunity to carry destiny is prepared for that person.
And that person is Zhou Qing.
It's not that Zhou Qing is bragging.
All the clues so far actually illustrate this point.
Sanqing and others all paid attention to Zhou Qing and had different attitudes towards him, but they all hoped to influence his position and make him favor themselves.
An ordinary person, even a Dao Master with innate divine and demonic nature, is completely unworthy of the attention of many people who bear the destiny.
Taoist or something like that has no meaning to the Lord of the Era.
Only matters involving one's own interests and the level of destiny have such qualifications.
This is one of the powerful proofs.
There is also the fact that Zhou Qing now controls a corner of destiny.
Who can control destiny?
Only those who carry the destiny can do it!
Even if Zhou Qing only has a corner of destiny under his control now, which cannot be compared with the real Lord of the Era, this is enough to explain a lot of things. This corner of destiny is undoubtedly a medium and a foreshadowing.
In Zhou Qing's intuition, it couldn't be more obvious what he could draw from his destiny.
Among the destiny, there is only Tianxin.
This era of destiny was the prelude to Zhou Qing.
The heart of heaven that must be possessed to carry the destiny will also be drawn out by Zhou Qing.
All of this is related to him, and coupled with other extremely obvious evidence, it makes no sense to say that this opportunity to carry destiny was not prepared for him.
Zhou Qing could almost conclude that this was the truth.
As long as he is willing, he can now pull Tianxin and let it manifest, and then refine Tianxin and successfully carry the destiny.
This is truly an extremely beautiful and alluring future.
But such beauty made Zhou Qing worried.
Looking back now, it can be said that when Zhou Qing traveled through time and embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he was destined to reach this point and became the new bearer of destiny.
But in such a destined matter, if he really takes this step, will he fall into an abyss?
What do you want to do when destiny arranges these things?
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Zhou Qing is a bit unfounded.
But as a party involved, it was really hard for Zhou Qing not to think about this.
Lu Qingmo could understand Zhou Qing, she said solemnly:
"Has human existence arranged this path for you? What purpose does it want to achieve with this?"
But when it comes to things like this, I'm afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes has bad intentions and is waiting to reap the rewards at the last moment.
The mastermind behind the scenes who can decide who will carry the destiny is undoubtedly terrifying beyond imagination.
Lu Qingmo already understood why Zhou Qing suddenly became worried about his future when he was at his most energetic after proving the Great Master.
"Its purpose..."
Zhou Qing's eyes were dark, "It should be a picture of me."
Zhou Qing is not a normal creature, but the form of some mysterious thing.
Carrying the destiny means merging with the destiny and becoming one.
Tianming had arranged all this and gave him the position of Lord of the Era by default, probably because he wanted him. At present, apart from not knowing why Tianming did what he did and his own life experience, Zhou Qing has sorted out everything else.
It can only be said that the pressure he bears is truly greater than the heavens.
Lu Qingmo was silent for a moment, looked at Zhou Qing and asked:
"What do you want to do?"
"We can only face it."
Zhou Qing looked at the sky and said softly:
"I can't escape this matter. It and they don't want to see me escape, and the same goes for me."
"The result has already been determined."
Destiny had put a lot of effort into making arrangements, and Sanqing and others had been waiting for an era, and now Zhou Qing was just short of the finishing touch.
How could it and them be willing to see Zhou Qing stop here?
Zhou Qing wanted to stop, but the push from behind wouldn't let him stop.
The most important thing is that Zhou Qing also has a reason to carry the destiny.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
That is the issue of Lu Qingmo's lifespan.
Only the emergence of the new Lord of the Era can reshape the rules of longevity and allow Lu Qingmo and others to accompany Zhou Qing forever and not die.
For this reason, Zhou Qing had already decided in his heart that he was willing to achieve this at all costs.
But now that the situation is clear, regardless of whether other Taoist masters are willing to reshape the rules of longevity after carrying the destiny, it is impossible for them to complete the step of carrying the destiny.
Only Zhou Qing can do it himself, and he will definitely be able to solve this problem of Shouyuan Rules.
Whether it is the wishes of others or Zhou Qing's own needs, it is necessary for him to carry the destiny.
So although Zhou Qing was a little worried, he actually never hesitated about whether to take this step, and he had the answer in his heart from the beginning.
If he doesn't take this step, he will face the end of Lu Qingmo and others, which is something Zhou Qing cannot accept.
No wonder the War of Destiny, after destroying the rule of longevity, showed that such changes are in line with the laws of destiny...
Zhou Qing suddenly said: "I want to go to the Sanqing Realm."
"You stay here and wait for me. No matter what, I will tell you the result."
"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back."
Zhou Qing crossed the boundless void in one step and came to the Taishang Realm and Taishang Dao Palace.
He did not hide himself, so his arrival was immediately noticed by the Dao Master-level existence of Taishang Dao Palace.
A Dao Master appeared in front of Zhou Qing to greet him. He was Master Xuandu whom Zhou Qing had seen in the history of the earth.
This is the first disciple of the Supreme Being, whom the Supreme Being values the most and has been trained with all his strength.
Before the Supreme Being disappeared, Master Xuandu's attitude when he was walking outside could completely represent the Supreme Being's attitude.
Even among the second-generation disciples of the Sanqing Dharma Lineage, Master Xuandu also plays the role of senior brother.
Great masters such as Guangchengzi and Duobao Taoist were called senior brothers after meeting Master Xuandu. In the Sanqing Taoist Palace, their status was extremely high and highly respected.
Master Xuandu's strength is worthy of his status. He has proven the right and wrong ways for many epochs. He is one of the top people in the field of Tao masters and is extremely powerful.
Taoist masters like Master Xuandu do not have the worry of eternal destruction. Because of the protection of destiny, they can always exist. They don't have to worry about being assimilated by the Tao. They only need to avoid the world when destiny is hidden. There is nothing else. taboo.
Compared with the innate gods and demons, a Taoist with this special status actually only lacks the ability to be infinitely resurrected and immortal.
Besides, let alone Master Xuandu, who is the most powerful, even if he is relatively weak among Taoists, who can kill him? Who dares to kill him?
The identity of the supreme disciple is enough to ensure the safety of Master Xuandu. Even if the Lords of other eras are born, as long as Master Xuandu does not take the initiative to provoke him to die, those Lords of the era will not be able to attack him.
As for other Taoists?
Master Xuandu can summon Tai Chi Diao at any time, so this is not a problem.
Therefore, a Taoist with this special status can also be called eternal.
"I have met fellow Taoist Xuandu."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou."
After the two sides greeted each other, Master Xuandu invited Zhou Qing into Xuandu Temple.
"I have heard the name of Taoist friend Zhou for a long time, and it is really a joy to meet me today."
Master Xuandu said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Zhou and I, Taishang Dao Palace, have a close relationship, and we will have more contacts in the future."
"What Taoist fellow Xuandu said is true. I am able to achieve what I have today, mostly because of the care of Taishang Taoist Palace."
Zhou Qing just said a polite word, and then went straight to the topic and said:
"Fellow Taoist Xuandu, I took the liberty to come to visit you today. There are some things I want to ask fellow Taoist to clarify."
Master Xuanduguan looked gentle and said:
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to ask about the Tree of Destiny and the Fruit of Destiny?"
Sanqing told them not to leak this matter to the outside world.
But this person is Zhou Qing, so there is no problem in bringing up what happened back then.
Master Xuandu now also knows that Zhou Qing is the "man of the future" mentioned by Sanqing.
Zhou Qing nodded and said: "It has something to do with this, but what I want to ask about needs to be more detailed."
"Does Master Xuandu know why the Tree of Destiny and the Fruit of Destiny appear? From the perspective of the Supreme Seniors and others, what will happen to me after getting the Tree of Destiny?"
"I can only give you a vague answer to these two questions." Master Xuandu's eyes showed the vicissitudes of life.
"Master said that all this is destined by fate, and they cannot change it. They can only obey the destiny."
"So both the Tree of Destiny and you should have appeared because of destiny."
"But why the destiny has changed like this, I don't know. The master didn't tell me back then."
Zhou Qing was not satisfied with this answer, because he figured it out on his own.
He added: "Xuanhuang Taoist Master has obtained the fruit of destiny and carries the destiny."
"So, after receiving the Tree of Destiny and receiving similar treatment as him, did the Supreme Seniors say what kind of future I will have?"
After hearing this, Master Xuandu was silent for a long time, with an uncertain color in his eyes. After a long time, he said:
"The fruit of destiny..."
"This is really something that I will never forget throughout the Xuanhuang Era. Missing the Fruit of Destiny back then is really a regret of my life."
There was once an opportunity to carry his destiny before him, but he failed to grasp it.
If fate could give him another chance to compete fairly, he would definitely not let it go.
Master Xuandu looked at Zhou Qing with complicated eyes and said:
"The Fruit of Destiny creates a Lord of the Era. The effect of the Tree of Destiny is inferior to that of the Fruit of Destiny, but you are very special, even more special than Dao Zun Xuanhuang."
"But, he... is just a lucky person, it is an accident. The person who gets the Tree of Destiny in the future, that is, you, is inevitable and the real destiny. This is what Master told me."
"What will be your future...Master and the others have not told me, but..."
"Perhaps you can reach the area that we have been pursuing for endless years but still cannot enter."
Zhou Qing was silent and asked: "About me, did the Supreme Seniors have any other suggestions?"
"Nothing."
Master Xuandu shook his head slightly: "At that time, Master and the others only told us not to mention that matter to the outside world and not to interfere too much, but they did not explain anything else."
"As for you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have only briefly mentioned that someone will go to get the Tree of Destiny. In fact, at that time, the three of us didn't know who the person would be."
Master Xuandu really doesn’t know anything.
Zhou Qing thought for a while and said, "Can I meet Senior Tai Chi Tu?"
Before Master Xuandu could answer, the voice of the Taijitu God came to them:
"I know what you want to ask, but my answer is still the same as before. I don't know your past clearly, and I can't judge your future. I am not deceiving you."
"But what Xuandu said is right. You are special, and you may be able to enter that field."
"If you want to find the truth and solve all your doubts, practice hard. When you really reach that level, there will be no secrets in the world, and all your questions will be answered."
"As for them... they won't manifest until you touch that level. It's not that they don't want to, but they also have limitations."
After the words fell, Tai Chi Tu was silent again, and his meaning had been expressed very clearly.
Master Xuandu said at this time: "Fellow Taoist, I know you may have a lot of uncertainty in your heart, and I understand."
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, when I was first accepted by Master as a disciple, I had a similar mentality. At that time, I was an unknown person. What on earth could I do that deserve Master's respect?"
Zhou Qing looked at Master Xuandu and listened to his story about the past.
Master Xuandu smiled: "But now I understand that some things are just such a coincidence."
"I don't know exactly what the situation is like, fellow Taoist, but I have something to say, don't say it without permission, don't listen to it without permission."
"Some opportunities only come once in a lifetime. Era changes, even if the world collapses, it will never come again. Fellow Taoist, you may want to consider it seriously."
"I hope fellow Taoists can finally make a choice that is in line with their true intentions."
