“It’s difficult to ask about the will of the heavens since ancient times,” Jiang Caiyun muttered. Her eyes flickered as if she was a little confused. “Then, as long as I cultivate diligently, will I have a chance to touch the will of the heavens and completely control my fate?”
“I think that’s inevitable.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “Controlling your own fate is one of the purposes of cultivation.”
“Thank you, Senior!” A smile bloomed on Jiang Caiyun’s beautiful face. It was abnormally bright. “In that case, I’ll naturally cultivate diligently to seek enlightenment.”
“Good ambition.” Cui Heng nodded and praised. With a flip of his hand, he condensed a jade talisman and said to Jiang Caiyun, “This is a life-saving jade talisman. It can protect you from death three times.”
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior. I don’t need this item.” Jiang Caiyun shook her head gently and smiled. “If I fall on the path of cultivation, it’s only because I’m not talented enough or my cultivation is insufficient. That only means that I’m not qualified to pry into destiny.”
“…” Cui Heng was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then, he dispersed the jade token and praised, “It’s Cui Changsheng’s luck to have a close friend like you.”
“Thank you for your praise, Senior,” Jiang Caiyun said with a smile. “You’re indeed not Cui Changsheng. Actually, it’s my greatest fortune to be able to become friends with him. I also have to thank you for allowing Cui Changsheng to be born.”
“Your temperament can already be said to be extraordinary.” Cui Heng looked at Jiang Caiyun with admiration and nodded. “I’ll wait for the day you reach Heaven’s Will.”
“Senior, please look forward to it,” Jiang Caiyun said solemnly.
….
The exchange with Jiang Caiyun was a pleasant surprise for Cui Heng.
When he was Cui Changsheng, he had actually interacted with Jiang Caiyun about cultivation.
However, at that time, they were still at the Mortal Realm and their discussion would not involve any high-level topics.
Moreover, Cui Heng would make some basic information about his identity before changing it. It was used as a standard for this identity. With Cui Changsheng’s identity, it was unlikely for him to discuss too deep a topic.
Therefore, Jiang Caiyun’s unique understanding and thoughts had never been displayed.
However, after this conversation, Cui Heng was pleasantly surprised to discover that Jiang Caiyun was really a natural talent. She was simply born to explore higher realms.
If he still had Cui Changsheng’s identity, he would have wanted to take Jiang Caiyun as his disciple.
This was the first time he had such a thought since he walked out of the Beginner’s Space.
However, with Jiang Caiyun’s personality, she might not agree to become his disciple.
This was a woman with extremely strong opinions. What she really wanted to walk was her own Dao.
“Heaven’s will, fate. This is indeed a direction filled with unknowns, and it’s also a path filled with bumps.” Cui Heng stood in the sky and muttered.
At the same time, he released his divine sense and sensed the endless starry sky and living beings affected by his laws.
This perspective made him feel like he could control everything.
However, he knew very well that this was just an illusion.
He was far from reaching the realm where he could transform into Heaven’s Will and control everything.
However, this inevitably let him make some connections.
“Does the will of the heavens really exist in the dark, looking down on everything from above? If I want to reach this level, what kind of realm is needed?
“Do I need to take a few more steps in the Soul Formation realm, or do I need to reach the Void Return realm or even the Dao Integration realm? Did experts of similar realms exist in the Heaven Realm that once ruled the myriad worlds?
“If the Heaven Realm doesn’t exist, does the wider universe exist?”
Doubts and guesses flashed through Cui Heng’s mind.
At the same time, he clearly understood that even though he had already broken through to the Soul Formation realm, he was still very small in the vast universe.
Actually, from the special perspective of a Soul Formation cultivator, he could already vaguely sense that the star realm he was in should be on the arm of a huge galaxy.
Even if he was strong enough to control the entire suspending arm, it was only a small portion of this huge galaxy.
Even if he could control the entire huge galaxy, it was still insignificant.
Take the Milky Way for example. This huge galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light-years was only one-fiftieth of a larger galaxy cluster.
was as
The range of the galaxy cluster was as great as 10 million light years.
A galaxy cluster of 10 million light-years was only a small part of a super galaxy cluster with a diameter of 100 million light-years.
And this super galaxy cluster with a diameter of 100 million light years was only a speck of dust in the vast universe.
If the so-called “Heaven’s Will” that controlled everything really existed, it meant that it could control this vast universe.
What kind of realm and power would that be? It was no longer something Cui Heng could imagine.
“The road is long!”
Cui Heng shook his head and chuckled. Then, with a flash, he returned to the Great Zhou Imperial City. He planned to meet Fang He and Yuan Ku first.
In the Great Zhou Imperial City.
Fang He and Yuan Ku were waiting anxiously.
These two high and mighty Lords of the Heavens were a little uneasy at this moment and were pacing back and forth.
Hui Shi accompanied them here.
Seeing how uneasy the two of them were, he could not help but comfort them. “There’s no need to be like this. If Sir wanted to kill you, he would have done so long ago. He wouldn’t have waited until now.”
Fang He and Yuan Ku were stunned when they heard that, and the anxiety on their faces became even stronger.
“Haha, Hui Shi, you’re still not very good with words.” Cui Heng’s laughter came from the sky. Then, he appeared and said to Hui Shi, “You can spend more time with Liu Litao in the future.”
“Sir knows me,” Hui Shi said with a smile. “However, I’m only your saber. Generally speaking, sabers don’t have to speak.”
“That’s true.” Cui Heng also smiled and looked at the monk and Daoist priest here.
Fang He and Yuan Ku hurriedly bowed and said in unison, “Greetings, Immortal Venerable!”
“If the two of you have anything to say, just say it.” Cui Heng nodded slightly.
“Amitabha, Immortal Venerable is merciful.” Monk Yuan Ku immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, “Immortal Venerable, please save this starfield.”
“Immortal Venerable is benevolent.” Fang He also knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “Ever since the Heaven Realm disappeared, there have been no Heaven Gate realm experts in this galaxy.”
This attracted the coveting of the Other World. The experts of the Other World have been waiting for an opportunity to corrode and plunder our starfield. We can only barely hold on with the special nature of the Three Higher Heavens.”
“Moreover, our lifespan is almost up. I’m afraid we won’t be able to resist the corrosion of the foreign realm anymore. Immortal Venerable, please help us resist the Heaven Gate experts of the foreign realm.”
Compared to Monk Yuan Ku, Daoist Fang He’s words were much clearer.
Outer World.
This brand new term attracted Cui Heng’s attention. He frowned and said, “What is the Outer World?”
Fang He hurriedly began to explain, “As Immortal Venerable knows, those who rule the Central World rule the endless starry skies of the myriad worlds, but the scope of the Heaven Realm is not unlimited.
“The places outside the territory of the Heaven Realm are collectively known as the Outer World. There are also endless starry skies in the Outer World. There are countless experts, and there is even no lack of Heaven Gate realm existences.
Originally, when the Heaven Realm was around, the Heaven Gate realm experts of the Other World often attacked the peripheral stars. Later on, when the Heaven Realm was no longer around, this situation became even more intense.
“If not for the fact that the Three Higher Heavens has some Heaven Realm characteristics that can make those Heaven Gate experts afraid, I’m afraid we would have long been unable to withstand the corrosion of the Outer World.”
“What’s the goal of this so-called Outer World’s invasion?” Cui Heng asked.
“It’s said that it’s for some kind of treasure contained in the Heaven Realm, or perhaps it’s to plunder the resources of this galaxy.” Daoist Fang He was obviously not too sure and could only guess.
“Apparently, every breakthrough to the Heaven Gate realm requires a large amount of resources,” Monk Yuan Ku added.
“That’s all?” Cui Heng laughed when he heard that. He looked at Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku and shook his head. “The two of you are experts at the Lords of the Heavens realm. If this is how you came to ask for help…”
