Chapter 1011: Chapter 1010: One of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands – Trap Empty Island
“The fledgling eagles have grown, always yearning for higher and vaster skies, not staying by their parents’ side.
I understand this principle, as does your mother. What difference is it to stay in Yuan Central Continent after reaching the Heaven Beyond Heavens?” Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
“As for going to see that broader world, the dream of becoming a powerful warrior has woken up a long ti ago.
When I beca the Deputy Sect Master of the True Martial Holy Sect, I had already given up on it, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed.
The greatest wish of your mother and I is for your safety.
When you were young, I could carry and solve any mistakes you made.
But now, just when I want to say I’ll always stand behind you, I’ve found that you, like a tree, have grown taller than your father.
If you can’t solve it, what use would your mother and I be?”
Xu Qingshan has always been succinct and not good with words; father and son rarely had much communication.
But this ti was an exception; he rambled on for quite so ti.
“Once you go to the Heaven Beyond Heavens, I will resign from the position of Deputy Sect Master.
I’ll accompany your mother to travel around, to see the great mountains and rivers of the Yuan Central Continent, and then find a secluded paradise to settle down in.
If you have the opportunity, co back to see us.
If you have no ti, …”
At this point, Xu Qingshan paused for a mont and said with a smile, “Let give you a poem.
Youth is gallant, forming alliances with heroes of the five capitals. Generous and fearless, with hair standing on end.
Conversing uprightly, sharing life and death alike. A promise weightier than a thousand pieces of gold. Pushing forward bravely, prideful and unrestrained,
…….
Connect with the seeds of Talented Disciples, the sword roars with the westerly wind. Regretting not visiting mountains and waters, entrusting my hands to the seven-string zither, eyes following the homing geese.”
“This poem is like your father’s life, once aspiring to many things but ultimately only becoming regrets.
Having reached this step, you should walk forward with pride, destined for a bright future and hopeful prospects.”
Xu Zii fell into a slight silence after hearing Xu Qingshan’s long speech.
It wasn’t the ti to part yet, but he still felt a bit of reluctance in his heart.
“Right, I almost forgot the important matter,” Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
“I have so news to share with you.”
“What is it?” Xu Zii asked, looking up.
“According to the ssage from the Sect, Destiny has now appeared in this world, and many forces seem to have secretly reached so agreents.
You need to be careful about this when the ti cos.”
“They want to form an alliance?” Xu Zii scoffed.
“It’s hard to say. Right now, our True Martial Holy Sect is in the lilight, and as Destiny has arisen, battles between the sects are no longer possible.”
Xu Qingshan said, “But you should understand, the struggle for Destiny is different.
I’m afraid they might unite when the ti cos for the struggle of Destiny, and whether it is our Sect or others, no one will be able to help you.”
“Just a bunch of rabble,” Xu Zii stated.
“If they are not afraid of death, let them co.”
“Anyway, be vigilant, don’t let danger catch you off guard at a critical mont,” Xu Qingshan cautioned.
Xu Zii nodded slightly.
“You take so ti to yourself, I’ll go and gather so more information,” Xu Qingshan said.
He raised his oil-paper umbrella, his tall figure disappearing in the pouring rain.
Xu Zii closed his eyes for a while, then suddenly reopened them and walked out of the pavilion.
He ca to the mid-slope of Goose Southern Peak outside the courtyard.
The torrential rain kept pouring, and the thunder and lightning above started to weaken bit by bit.
The Endless Heavenly Dao was stripped away, turning into a golden light, disappearing into the firmant.
After the rain had passed, and under the previously clear blue sky, a painting was cast.
This was a projection of Heavenly Dao, an image appearing in the sky that covered the whole firmant, and all the people of the Yuan Central Continent could see it.
“The place for the struggle of Destiny has appeared,” soone shouted.
The site of each era’s struggle for Destiny is not fixed; sotis it is on the Endless Heaven Sea, sotis in the Five Elents lands, sotis in the Dark Forests.
In short, the location is random.
Once the place appears, all those who have been selected must go there, or else they will lose the qualification to participate.
At the sa ti as the image reflected the void, a silver teor shower fell from the sky.
The teor shower was dense and nurous, possibly in the tens of thousands.
teors fell, scattering across the entire Yuan Central Continent.
Xu Zii looked up to see a teor heading straight for him, sinking directly into his forehead.
Suddenly a strange power perated throughout his body, rippling slightly on his forehead.
A six-pointed star pattern appeared.
This ant that he had been chosen by Destiny.
Only those chosen by Destiny are eligible to participate in the struggle for Destiny.
If anyone else rashly intervenes, they will be directly destroyed by the Heavenly Dao.
This was what Xu Qingshan ant when he said that after the start of Destiny, whether it was the True Martial Holy Sect or the Divine Emperor, no one could be of any help.
Saint Heirs from so Imperial Rule Immortal Sects inevitably would band together.
Xu Zii touched the pattern on his forehead and felt nothing different, as if it were an ordinary symbol.
At this mont, the entire Yuan Central Continent was enveloped in a silver current.
This teor shower cannot be snatched by you; it selects you.
So are joyful, others sorrowful; so are chosen, naturally, others are not.
Those selected are almost always from the younger generation.
……
“Brother Zimo, I’ve been chosen,” Lin Ruhu’s laughter ca from not far away.
He ca running over in high spirits.
On his forehead was the sa pattern as Xu Zii.
“Do you have to be that happy?” Xu Zii asked with a smile.
“Of course, being chosen ans recognition, whether or not you compete for Destiny,” Lin Ruhu replied.
Perhaps this is one way among the Talented Disciples to asure themselves.
“There’s nothing unusual about that; the struggles for Destiny in past years were not strict, with tens of thousands of participants,” Xu Zii responded.
“Brother Zimo, the Sect Master asked to inquire whether you want to form an alliance?” Lin Ruhu said.
“An alliance,” Xu Zii responded with a smile and a shake of his head.
Alliances in the struggle for Destiny aren’t rare.
To avoid being eliminated early on, most powers would band together, weed out others first, and then turn on each other.
The resulting intrigues are many.
“I don’t need it,” Xu Zii replied.
“The Destiny of this era must be mine.”
He spoke calmly, but the certainty and forcefulness in his words carried a strong convincing power.
“Then I will report back to the Sect Master accurately,” Lin Ruhu said.
“Do you know where that is?” Xu Zii asked, pointing to the image in the sky.
“Trap Empty Island, also known as Endless, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands,” Lin Ruhu replied gravely with a nod.
Though the sites of past Destiny struggles varied, such a perilous battleground had never been encountered.
Competing for Destiny within a Forbidden Land was daunting enough, let alone considering your opponents; the Forbidden Land alone was enough to die several tis over.
