Chapter 457 The Path of Burning Life, The Future
Ancestor of Martial Arts.
He was the most formidable Martial Cultivator of this era.
Now, the Martial Path occupied twenty percent of Heavenly Fate, and the blessings that the Martial Ancestor could receive were exceedingly terrifying, his combat prowess may not match the legendary Ancestral Dao, but the difference between them was considerably narrow.
Ji Zhouyin personally received her, which was an exceptional rarity, and Song Lingxue had never expected that she would alarm an existence of the Martial Ancestor's caliber.
This was indeed the pinnacle of the entire Great Universe's pyramid.
Recalling Ji Zhouyin's words, Song Lingxue reined in her thoughts and bowed her head to inquire, "Hall Master, what is 'Observing the Eons'?"
"No matter the past or the future, the Dao originates from the same source, all Cultivators who practice the Martial Path are walking along the same road. This road may branch out in many directions, but ultimately, they all lead to one end,"

Ji Zhouyin extended a hand, and from his palm emerged a hazy path that shone with a silvery light. Its origin and end were not visible, stretching into the unknown corners of the Void.
"Observing the Eons allows you to see the paths that others have taken. Naturally, those who can manifest on this path are the leaders of the Martial Path from all eras, past and future. Among them, the Supreme Beings treat the Ancestor-killing Realm as if picking things out of a bag, what you can gain from them depends entirely on yourself."
Hearing this, Song Lingxue's eyes sparkled as she couldn't help but ask, "Is it even possible to know the future?"
In her understanding, no matter the Taoist Orthodoxy, those who came after would surely become stronger by drawing on the experience of their predecessors, and the future Martial Arts Practitioners would undoubtedly be more powerful than the present.
"I know what you are thinking, but I am sorry to say that your idea is incorrect,"
Ji Zhouyin shook his head slightly, dismissing Song Lingxue's notion, "Compared to the future, I would suggest that you learn from those who have come before."
"May the Hall Master please enlighten me," Song Lingxue said, somewhat taken aback.
"Your Cultivation is still shallow, and the world you can see is very limited. Between each era, there are boundaries. The times we now live in are barricaded before and after."
"Once there were living creatures that monopolized a hundred percent of Heavenly Fate, sealing the entire temporal river at the end of the past, and for the times even further back, not even the Martial Ancestor can send you there."
Ji Zhouyin did not hide anything, and explained slowly, "From that era till today, the strongest Martial Arts Practitioner is the Ancient Martial Ancestor. Back then, the Martial Path occupied thirty percent of Heavenly Fate, which was more formidable than the current Martial Ancestor. If you could gain his favor, it would result in significant gains."
Song Lingxue suddenly understood and hesitated for a moment before asking decisively, "Does the Hall Master mean that from now on, it will no longer be possible for the Martial Path to occupy thirty percent of Heavenly Fate?"
Her question was undoubtedly a bit impertinent, but Ji Zhouyin did not get angry, instead, he sighed lightly, "Although I would like to deny it, the truth is exactly as you said. In the not-so-distant future, Heavenly Fate will still all fall to one person, but that person will not be a Martial Arts Practitioner."
By the Ancestral Realm, many things about the past and future are already clear, and the current struggle for Heavenly Fate is merely driven by unwillingness, all for the sake of rewriting the future.
Hearing this, Song Ling carried a trace of probing as she asked, "Is that person an Immortal Path Cultivator?"
Ji Zhouyin shook his head again, "I do not know."
A hundred percent of Heavenly Fate is enough to completely rewrite the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Great Universe, no longer operating on the same plane as ordinary living creatures, even Supreme Beings of the Ancestral Realm cannot see an existence of that level.
The one most likely to achieve this in the Great Universe was the Ancestral Dao who was currently nowhere to be found.
During the Ancient Era, this Ancestral Dao once connected to the future and summoned unknown help from somewhere, a fact well known by all Ancestral Realm powerhouses.
It was also because of the emergence of this Ancestral Dao that the long undisturbed Heavenly Fate began to tip.
An ancestor of a path certainly enjoys the amplification of Heavenly Fate owned by the Taoist Orthodoxy, but there is a certain limit, after all, other Cultivators still need to practice their Cultivation, and should not be entirely obstructed.
But it is different with the Ancestral Dao, the Heavenly Fate he occupies is solely concentrated on himself, and this has a tremendous impact on the Great Universe.
In other words, if the Ancestral Dao were to die, the collective strength of the many Taoist Orthodoxies in the entire Great Universe would surge by at least one-third.
On the other hand, the existence of the Ancestral Dao means there are many fewer strong beings born now compared to the Ancient Era.
Many Cultivators who stepped into the Realm of Ancient Myths struggle to cross over to the Ancestral Realm precisely because their respective Taoist Orthodoxies lack sufficient Heavenly Fate.
Without the support of Heavenly Fate, even if one has talents that stun the ages, it is difficult to cross that barrier.@@novelbin@@
Ji Zhouyin did not speak further on this matter, but with a gesture in the void, traces were left in an instant and then gestured to Song Lingxue:
"Go."
Seeing this, Song Lingxue did not ask further. After bowing respectfully, she stepped into the Array formed from the condensation of those traces.
In an instant, her Divine Soul trembled, as if completely stripped away from her physical body, rising upwards.
She didn't know how long had passed when a misty path appeared before her, winding down from amidst a kaleidoscope of starlight.
Upon the light path, at regular intervals, stood blood-red pillars radiating a terribly fierce aura.
"The light pillars you see are the Martial Arts Practitioners willing to accept you, all of whom have at least stepped into the Realm of Ancient Myths. Entering inside a pillar allows you to acquire their Martial Arts True Intent and everything they have comprehended in their lifetime."
"This path connects the past and the future, with upstream being the past and downstream being the future."
Ji Zhouyin's voice resonated beside Song Lingxue's ear. She looked up at the many blood-red pillars standing ahead and, following Ji Zhouyin's earlier suggestion, began to probe upstream.
