Chapter 12: The Man of Destiny

12.

As soon as the bad old man left, the small classroom suddenly exploded.

This group of teenagers and girls who are less than 16 years old suddenly gathered around Cheng Li and began to gossip.

"Cheng Li, you are so powerful, it only took one hour to refine the qi and transform the form, it took me half a month at the beginning!"

"Yes, yes, what does it feel like when you absorb the aura? When I hook the aura, it takes a long time to absorb a cloud of aura. ”

"Are you really from a foreign land? What does a foreign land look like?"

Cheng Li was surrounded by this group of "classmates" who were much younger than himself, and he couldn't help but be a little scrambling, and could only try to answer their questions.

At this time, only two people in the classroom did not come around.

One is the little Lori who didn't even look at Cheng Li, and walked out of the classroom directly.

The other is the classmate Wang Tianyu who was not convinced by Cheng Li before, before Cheng Li came, Wang Tianyu was the core figure in the class, with the highest cultivation and the best talent. But after Cheng Li came, the heaven-level spiritual root stabilized him, and now seeing him surrounded by everyone made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, isn't it just a barbarian from a foreign land, what's so strange. I have learned yin-yang arithmetic since I was a child, and my talent is unmatched! The yin-yang arithmetic competition the day after tomorrow will surely shine, and when the time comes, I will let you know who is the real son of heaven!"

Thinking so in his heart, Wang Tianyu had some nostrils facing the sky, and walked out of the classroom with his toes high.

......

Not to mention what happened in Cheng Li's classroom.

After the bad old man left the classroom, he reached out and patted the wine gourd on his waist, and the ordinary-looking wine gourd was quickly enlarged, and finally turned into a huge gourd 5 meters long.

Soon the bad old man came to a beautiful mountain peak, to a hidden place.

I saw that the Great Elder was waiting for him here.

"How's that? is he the man?" the Grand Elder asked eagerly.

The bad old man burped, and the smell of wine all dissipated, and he did not directly answer the words of the great elder, but remembered and said: "The master respects his old man's way of yin and yang arithmetic is unparalleled, and he enters the Tao with hexagrams, combined with yin and yang arithmetic, and has realized the calculation of heavenly machines, and the Taoist numbers are all old men of heavenly machines." ”

"100 years ago, the Blood Demon Island accidentally drifted to the vicinity of Qingling Island, and the old man of Shizun used up his life to calculate the hexagram of a day for the 'Return to the Ruins Plan'. ”

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Master's hexagram is a great hexagram for ten thousand years, and Shizun interpreted the hexagram before he died, and informed you and me. ”

The bad old man continued: "I clearly remember that the old man said so at that time. ”

"Shenzhou is split, nine days are born. ”

"Ten thousand years have changed, and the catastrophe has begun. ”

"Blood is Visible, Dead is Alive"

"Destiny returns, and variables arise. ”

"Fortune and misfortune are unknowable. ”

The Great Elder pondered: "When we later interpreted this passage of the Master, it should mean that on the occasion of the arrival of the Nine Heavens Calendar and Ten Thousand Years, there will be a person of Heavenly Destiny who will descend on my Qingling Island, and this person will also be a blessing and a curse, which is the variable of this Ten Thousand Years Tribulation. ”

As soon as the old man heard the 10,000-year catastrophe, he couldn't help but recall: "2000 years ago, the nine-day fog appeared for the first time in an intermittent period, and for the first time, there was a possibility of communication between isolated islands. ”

"However, 1,000 years ago, the Great Dark Ages struck, and the Nine Heavens were once again devastated. ”

"In that Great Dark Age, my Qingling Island was almost extinct, and in the end, it was the third generation of the ancestor who sacrificed himself and launched a self-proclaimed array, sealing my Qingling Island forever in the fog and cutting off all shipping routes. ”

The Great Elder sighed with emotion: "That extinction also broke many of the inheritances of my Qingling Island, including many essences of this yin-yang arithmetic that were dissipated in the flames of war, and even the most important spirit armor core secret pattern was lost, which led to the fact that in the past thousand years on our Qingling Island, the spirit armor technology has been stagnant, and it will be so difficult to control." ”

"Yes, even if I spend my whole life, I can't crack the secret pattern of the core of the spirit armor sealed by the first generation of ancestors, so that we can only rely on the gourd to draw a scoop for the magic of the spirit armor, and we don't know why it is. The old man said with regret.

"2,000 years ago, 1,000 years ago, there was a big change in the nine days. ”

"And this year is the year 9999 of the nine-day calendar, the period of ten thousand years is coming, and the nine-day period will usher in unprecedented changes.

"But as long as we survive this 10,000-year change and endure for another thousand years, then the 'Return to the Ruins Project' may succeed. The Great Elder said in a low voice, "For the success of this 'Return to the Ruins Plan', Qingling Island has paid too much in the past thousand years, and the master has even paid for his own life, we can't let so much effort go down the drain, we must complete the Return to the Ruins Plan!"

"But...... That Blood Demon Island, no one expected that this misty route would be upgraded at such a critical juncture, and even the Sixth-Rank Demon Monarch could come.

"In this way, it is still a question whether our Qingling Island can survive this catastrophe this time. The old man sighed.

"Senior brother, don't be too discouraged, isn't there a variable now?" According to the hexagram of the old man, this year, a person with the destiny of heaven will come to my Qingling Island, and at this time, a foreign person suddenly appeared on our Qingling Island, and also awakened the Heavenly Spirit Root. He's not a man of destiny, so who else can there be?"

The old man groaned: "I have carefully observed him in the afternoon, and his talent is indeed amazing, he has been transformed into a spirit in ten breaths, and he has successfully refined qi and transformed into a form in one hour, which is simply unheard of, and he does have the image of destiny...... It's just ......"

"It's just what?" the Great Elder hurriedly asked.

"It's just that I don't know what this son's heart is. Don't forget, the hexagram of the Master, this son is a variable, it may help us get out of calamity, or it may bring us destruction!"

The Great Elder said solemnly: "Indeed, whether this person is a blessing or a curse is still unknown, so the master's hexagram, we have never revealed it to anyone, this is a top secret matter, and we must not easily leak the heavenly secret, otherwise it will inevitably bring disaster." ”

"We can only observe more, and if this son has a very good heart, we will vigorously cultivate it. If this son has a crooked mind, he must be destroyed at the first time!"

......

After nightfall, Cheng Li returned to the place where he lived.

This is a small independent hut arranged by the Qingling Academy for Cheng Li, and the cultivators pay attention to purity, although the cultivation teaching of the Qingling Academy is in the form of collective classes, but the accommodation still leaves plenty of private space for everyone.

After having time to be alone, Cheng Li couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

It has been 3 days since Cheng Li came to this world.

But Cheng Li has never been able to fully accept the fact that he has crossed into such a world of cultivation, and he still has a trace of fantasy before, thinking that he is still dreaming.

It wasn't until he completed his first cultivation in the afternoon that when the spiritual power entered the dantian, the incomparably real feeling of comfort had to make Cheng Li face the fact that he had really crossed over.

Crossing means being completely cut off from the original world, and when he thinks of this, Cheng Li can't help but feel a heart-rending pain in his heart.

"Tiantian, I don't know what's going on......"

Tian Tian is Cheng Li's fiancΓ©e in the original world, named Xiao Yutian, the two of them just got engaged last month, and they originally planned to get married next year.

However, now, Cheng Li has traveled to this world, separated from his fiancΓ©e forever.

"And Mom and Dad...... They must be worried about me......"

"I don't know how I was dealt with in the original world. Are they dead, or are they missing? If they do, they must be sad......

"No, I've got to find a way back. Otherwise, it will be a tragedy if the wife runs away with someone later. ”

Thinking about this, Cheng Li immediately had a strong sense of urgency.

"And I still have parents, I haven't been able to fulfill my filial piety, I can't just walk away!"

Cheng Li took a deep breath and looked at the sky outside the house.

It was an incomparably thick fog, with no starlight or moon in sight, as if the whole world was wrapped in a very oppressive one.

But at this time, Cheng Li looked at the fog like a world barrier, and his eyes seemed to be about to penetrate it, and he said heavily in his heart.

"I must find a way to get through this fog and find a way back to Earth!"
