Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 586 - 502: Man Can Triumph Over Heaven! (2)

"A mere Primordial Spirit incarnation, sneaking around and causing trouble, wielding such a Divine Artifact, to attack my young brother of the Dao Body Realm.

Speak, who directed you to do this."

"Heh..."

With a light chuckle, the incarnation of Mystic Monarch met Daoist Qingya's gaze without fear, seemingly unwilling to reveal this secret.

"Not speaking? Hmph, do you think that because my young brother's great matter is unfinished, I dare not take action against you?"

With a peculiar smile, a flash of Divine Light appeared in Daoist Qingya's eyes, and an ancient, majestic aura instantly spread:

"I can name the secret technique you cultivated with your Observing Qi Skill.

Guess... could I also use this trick?"

At these words, a flicker of unnaturalness crossed the expression of the Mystic Monarch incarnation.

"I don't believe you have also mastered the Glance of Three Thousand Instances."

The unusual expression vanished in an instant, and the Mystic Monarch incarnation, expressionless, murmured quietly:

"Nine Great Secret Techniques, each requires an opportunity to cultivate, it is too coincidental for anything like this to happen in this world."

"Hahaha, good lad, you weren't fooled."

With hearty laughter, Daoist Qingya raised his hand to pat the shoulder of the Mystic Monarch incarnation:

"Indeed, I am unable to perform the Glance of Three Thousand Instances."

Before the words faded, countless purple rays shot out from Daoist Qingya's eyes, and amidst countless transformations, they formed into a circular mirror composed of numerous rhombuses.

Standing within the mirror was another Daoist Qingya.

"Preliminary View of the World's Vast Seas?! You have actually mastered this secret technique!"

Noticing the reflection of another Daoist Qingya in the purple circular mirror, the Mystic Monarch incarnation's expression turned extremely ugly.

Preliminary View of the World's Vast Seas!

One of the nine secret techniques of Observing Qi Skill.

Compared to his Observing Three Thousand Moments which investigates the past.

Preliminary View of the World's Vast Seas explores the future.

After using this secret technique, one can summon the [future] self for questioning, thereby peering into the mysteries of the future.

Compared to the unchanging past.

Future changes are infinite, thus the Preliminary View of the World's Vast Seas calls forth just one among countless future selves, unable to fully predict the future trajectory.

Yet even so, it is sufficient to learn some critically important information.

Under the watch of the Mystic Monarch incarnation, Daoist Qingya conversed with his future self, speaking without any audible sound, clearly cautious against him. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

After a while, both Daoist Qingyas in front of the mirror showed thoughtful expressions.

Then, Daoist Qingya waved his sleeves, dispersing the circular mirror formed by Preliminary View of the World's Vast Seas and turned his gaze to the Mystic Monarch incarnation, whispering softly:

"Unexpected... he also got involved...

Looks like the original plan needs revising, certain matters need to be advanced."

Here, Daoist Qingya unveiled the reason behind the Mystic Monarch incarnation's assassination attempt on Qi Xiu.

Meanwhile, Qi Xiu, still reinforcing his past self with Suppressing Talisman, encountered some issues.

Just as the Mystic Monarch incarnation mentioned.

To reinforce countless past selves with a Dao Body Realm, was indeed overestimating one's capabilities.

Though Qi Xiu possessed the Divine Marvel of spirit manifestation into talisman, the consumption of divine soul force for reinforcing talismans was not great.

But the sheer number of past selves was simply immense.

Not even reaching one percent of that number, his divine soul force was already deeply depleted, with sweat beading on his forehead.

Behind the Ancestral Aperture in his brow, tens of thousands of Tenacity Retentions continuously sacrificed themselves, transforming into precise divine soul force to replenish him.

Yet despite this, the burden from continuous divine soul force depletion still exerted increasing strain on him.

His face turned pale, and the pace of reinforcing past selves slowed down.

"About to give up?" Daoist Qingya, who had continuously observed Qi Xiu, also noticed the anomaly.

"To do this with a Dao Body Realm is indeed ambitious."

With a slightly somber expression, Daoist Qingya's fingers flowed with azure-golden divine light, prepared to intervene and pull him back at any sign of struggle.

But minute by minute passed.

The seemingly about to falter Qi Xiu persisted, even though his complexion was as pale as paper, and the sweat was like beads rolling down his temples.

The overwhelming pressure and fatigue, like tide after tide crashing upon his mind, relentlessly battered his divine soul force.

Yet he continued to grit his teeth and persist.

Hundred years of cultivation, diligent and steadfast.

He faced hardships unimaginable to ordinary people, endured exhaustion intolerable to others.

All for the chance to secure a piece of life amidst the turbulent world.

"In the past, penniless, passing by a monster could easily crush me, those hard days I persevered.

And now, can this little hardship truly be insurmountable?"

During the reinforcement process, Qi Xiu relived scenes of his weaker days.

For initiation, he locked himself in a room for a month, nearly becoming a mentally fractured lunatic, just for a chance at the Initiate Realm.

After initiation, he ran everywhere, struggling amid various dangers, exhausting all means to enhance his cultivation.

A bloodstained past, embroiled in the demon invasion calamity of Dianchuan.

Golden Radiance Mother Sect, Divine Sorrow Ridge, Eight Great Country Lords, even facing the Spirit of Night Travel, the Outer Realm Evil God.

Even after achieving the Dao Body, crises still followed one after another...

"My life, like treading on ice.

But having made it to today, how could mere obstacles hinder my Dao Heart!"

Past scenes crossed before his eyes, and despite fatigue and dimming eyes, a resilient sparkle shone in Qi Xiu's gaze.

"Hmm?"

Noticing the subtle change in Qi Xiu's aura, Daoist Qingya's previously grave expression slightly relaxed, a smile appeared, then turned to gaze at the Mystic Monarch incarnation:

"Do you know why our Human Race, after the True Dragon Clan, became the main character of Heaven and Earth?

Clearly, you so-called gods, even demons wield greater power.

In comparison, the power of the Human Race is negligible."

Hearing Daoist Qingya's sudden question, the Mystic Monarch incarnation retorted coldly:

"The Human Race is vast in number, we gods take millennia to birth one.

Yet you Humans proliferate across the whole Tianyuan Main Realm in mere millennia."

"Nonsense, if that were true, then those Inferior Blooded Demons, birthing scores to a hundred each, according to your theory, should be the main characters of Heaven and Earth." Daoist Qingya retorted with disdain.

Daoist Qingya's words rendered the Mystic Monarch incarnation silent.

Indeed, why the Human Race became the main characters was a perplexing, resentful question for all non-humans.

Clearly, in bloodline and talent, Humans were at the lowest end.

Yet following the True Dragons, Humans emerged, dominated the Tianyuan Main Realm, becoming the undisputed main characters of Heaven and Earth.

No matter what measures the Outer Realm tribes devised, they could not suppress Humans and take the leading role.

These reasons were exceedingly bewildering.

"Don't understand? Haha, the answer stands before you, does it not?" Daoist Qingya smiled mysteriously, gazing silently at Qi Xiu.

Observing the young Daoist, long expected to falter yet refusing to give up, the Mystic Monarch incarnation's expression subtly changed, suspecting something but keeping his silence.

"All creatures, all worlds.

Whether your gods or odd demons.

Fundamentally, you adhere to instinct, to nature.

This is your pride, but also your flaw.

Animals run and stop when tired.

Humans are different; Humans persevere!

Even when tired, under the force of will, continuing forward running."

"Will... perseverance..." The Mystic Monarch incarnation's expression subtly moved.

"See this child? By your account, he'd long given up, but now?

He not only persisted but I believe he'll endure until the end.

This is why my Human Race can suppress and become the main characters of Heaven and Earth.

This is called...

Man's will conquers Heaven!"
