The Age Of Doom: I Can Deduce Countless Ages Of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 54: Transcending the Symbol of Fate

Upon hearing Chen Zunyan's words, his gaze swept over the crowd before he spoke, "Let's cast a divination!"

The faces of the people from Muyu River immediately turned solemn.

Chen Zunyan's gaze fell upon Muyu River, where he noticed a string of six dragon pendants hanging from their waists.

These pendants were made by Muyu River's Qingxiao Ancestor from the precious Tianqing Jade, engraved with the insignia of the Unfounded Cloud Pattern using a golden seal, and refined with the weak water of the Nine Heavens.

Once completed, there were a total of six pendants, each containing six different types of dragon-like celestial beasts. The six pieces of jade were connected by golden threads that were completely formed by the seal script.

When Muyu River encountered enemies, these pendants could manifest phantom celestial beasts to fight on their behalf. If used proactively, they could even withstand calamities and tribulations.

Among Muyu River's treasures, this item ranked in the top three.

"You, take off that jade pendant from your waist," Chen Zunyan said to Muyu River.

Without hesitation, Muyu River took off the six dragon pendant from his waist and handed it directly to Chen Zunyan.

Calculating cause and effect is like peering into the workings of the heavens.

The way of cause and effect has an iron rule: to bear the consequences.

If one sows a cause, they must bear its effects.

Even Chen Zunyan, who was already a Mahayana stage cultivator, often found it difficult to bear the consequences when using the way of cause and effect.

If Chen Zunyan wanted to avoid being disturbed by these consequences, he needed to rely on other treasures for divination.

In this world, not only living beings possess qi, but inanimate objects also have their own destiny.

Just like the ever-changing tides of time, everything is subject to the destiny of heaven and earth.

Since there is fortune, there is also strength and weakness.

Among all things in heaven and earth, the strongest fortune lies in various heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, as well as various immortal and magic weapons.

Heavenly treasures and earthly treasures require years of natural nurturing to obtain a trace of spiritual insight. Even with this insight, they still need to accumulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, and overcome numerous tribulations to truly become treasures.

To reach this stage, heavenly treasures and earthly treasures also need to be refined by cultivators through water and fire, inscribed with runes and seals, and experience near-death situations. To advance further and become immortal weapons, they need to transform into spiritual beings or transcend tribulations alongside cultivators.

Many treasures in this world possess their own fortune, which can enhance the fortune of their owners.

For example, the six dragon pendants were created in the immortal court of the upper realm and had the potential to become immortals. They could also be used to ward off disasters and bear the consequences of cause and effect.

With six pendants, each representing the number six, which corresponds to the Lesser Yin hexagram and the six lines of the hexagram, and with their ability to ward off disasters, they were the perfect vessels to bear the consequences of this divination.

Chen Zunyan took the six dragon spirit jade and could feel the strong destiny emanating from them.

Such a profound destiny should be suitable for this divination.

Chen Zunyan had also seen the sword marks from the outside world. As someone who had achieved enlightenment in the Dharma Ending Era, his identity was naturally not to be underestimated.

However, the destiny on the six dragon jade pendants should still be able to bear the weight.

He held the jade pendants in his hand, and a mysterious aura enveloped him.

Muyu River and the others watched Chen Zunyan intently.

Before the Dharma Ending Era, Chen Zunyan was always elusive. After the Dharma Ending Era, apart from top cultivators like Muyu River, no one else sought his divination.

Chen Zunyan gently tossed the jade pendants in front of him.

Each line of the hexagram corresponds to each step, and every three lines form a gua. The upper and lower gua correspond to the eight types of heavenly and earthly symbols: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Dui, Gen, and Xun. When combined, they form the sixty-four hexagrams of the post-heaven gua.

These sixty-four post-heaven gua encompass all the affairs of heaven, earth, and humanity.

Ding dang.

In an instant, the jade pendants fell to the ground, and a pleasant sound entered the ears of the crowd.

The golden threads on the six pendants dissolved on their own, and a profound aura descended upon the jade pendants.

At this moment, the engravings on both sides of the pendants became blurry, and the originally green jade pendants transformed into black and white colors as they continuously rotated.

Chen Zunyan felt that the way of cause and effect had been bestowed upon the jade pendants.

Now, all external forces would become part of the divination.

Everyone stared nervously at the six jade pendants.

Because this divination could possibly determine the end of the Dharma Ending Era.

If this gua truly confirmed the end of the Dharma Ending Era, then they would no longer be confined to this secret realm.

The Xuanzhen Palace they had built with a great amount of treasures would only allow them to maintain their cultivation in this realm.

If they want to cultivate, the spiritual energy is not even enough for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

As long as the end of the Dharma arrives, they can return to their free selves.

When!

The first jade pendant fell, and the initial line appeared.

White side up, initial line, yang line!

Immediately after the second piece, the third piece of jade pendant fell at the same time.

Second line, yang line!

Third line, yang line!

Three yang lines, the lower hexagram has appeared - Qian hexagram!

As soon as this hexagram appeared, Chen Zunyan and others suddenly saw a breath in front of them.

The lower hexagram is also called the base hexagram!

And the direction of this breath, Chen Zunyan and others sensed it and were all shocked.

Because this breath is actually Zhang Qingyuan!

"Is it really Zhang Qingyuan who ended the Dharma?"

When Si Yuan saw the hexagram, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Mu Yuchuan was also stunned in place.

Wang Jingyan's eyes also showed a solemn color.

At this time, everyone else looked at each other, because they all knew that Chen Zunyan had once asserted that Zhang Qingyuan had gathered calamity energy on him and would die in the end of the Dharma.

But now it seems that there may be a turning point.

Chen Zunyan was also puzzled at this time, but the hexagram had not ended yet, so he continued to gaze at the jade pendant.

Amidst everyone's astonishment, the fourth and fifth lines also appeared at this moment!

Yang line! Yang line!

All five lines are yang lines!

At this moment, a touch of surprise appeared in Chen Zunyan's heart.

Because the five lines have appeared, if the last line is yin, the upper hexagram will be Dui hexagram, which combines Qian and Dui, the hexagram of marsh over heaven. This hexagram represents decisive judgment, with the upper part bestowing grace and the lower part giving.

As long as there is a yin line in this hexagram, it is enough to prove that Zhang Qingyuan is the one who opens up a new path of blessings for the world after the end of the Dharma.

But if it is a yang line, if all six lines are yang lines, it is the first hexagram in the 64 hexagrams of the post-heaven hexagrams, using heaven as the law, where all thoughts are smooth and the great Dao is unobstructed!

If Zhang Qingyuan gets this hexagram, Chen Zunyan will have difficulty predicting what level Zhang Qingyuan has reached.

With the last line rotating between yin and yang, everyone's thoughts were affected by it.

Clang!

The last line fell.

Yang line!

Qian is heaven, the hexagram is complete!

Chen Zunyan's pupils contracted. With heaven as the law, once this hexagram appears, even the end of the Dharma cannot stop Zhang Qingyuan's progress.

What exactly happened?

Chen Zunyan took a few steps forward in succession, wanting to observe the complete image behind this hexagram.

The hexagram has appeared, just like when the lower hexagram appeared, Zhang Qingyuan's blood and energy can be deduced. Now that the hexagram is complete, the cause and effect have been determined.

Chen Zunyan can glimpse the future events based on this image.

Mu Yuchuan and others didn't understand the meaning of the hexagram, but seeing Chen Zunyan's nervous appearance, they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in their hearts.

Could it be that something unexpected has happened?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Chen Zunyan had already stood in front of the hexagram, but he was surprised to find that the constantly flowing force of cause and effect had not ended yet.

Only to see a crack suddenly appear on the sixth jade pendant, breaking it in half.

Beyond the six lines, the seventh line!

Transcending the fate!
