Yes, Zhou Yiwang's path to advancement is different from that of any normal martial artist. He appears to have no cultivation level, but while others are still refining their bodies, he has already begun to quietly communicate with the "Dao Sea".
This is the wonder of fate; it can even deceive one's own cultivation level.
In Dao Hai's eyes, the child was already at the peak of a high-level martial artist and could receive the projection of the Great Dao without any obstacles.
As the human race migrated to the Yuan land, children passing through the Yellow River hid at the bottom of the carriages, their small eyes radiating a bright light.
Unbeknownst to anyone, at only a dozen years old, he had already reached the terrifying realm of the Nine Heavens of Mountains and Seas.
Boom!
When the Yellow River breached its banks, the first tribe to be submerged was the human race that had migrated from "Yangcheng".
And Guangzhou is the place where the child encountered Yu the Great.
Amidst the devastation and suffering of the floods, Yu the Great stepped forward and led countless powerful human warriors to quell the calamity.
One night, when Yu the Great, who had been seriously injured in a battle with a water beast, returned to his house, he found that King Zhou Yi, who had grown into a young man, had been waiting for him for a long time.
The house was covered with countless eerie symbols, resembling gaping mouths ready to devour anyone who might enter.
Just as the stunned Yu the Great revealed a relieved yet self-deprecating expression, Shen Qian's long sword finally slashed out. This sword was not aimed at the child, but seemed to pierce through the illusion of time and space, piercing back into that alley.
Quack!
With a strange cry, the longsword in Shen Qian's hand came to an abrupt halt, and black blood gushed out. At the end of the longsword was a black crow whose body had been pierced through.
The scene shattered once more, and the black crow transformed into a blurry human figure. He stared in disbelief at the longsword frozen on his body, seemingly never expecting that the sword would pierce this spot.
"How...how did you find out where my real body was?"
The figure in the model lake gradually became clearer, revealing himself to be the young King Zhou Yi.
"Because of color."
Shen Qian smiled faintly, "When I was first introduced into the Scroll of Destiny, I noticed that there was something wrong with that crow. Although it was black and gray at first glance, it had a strange and lively quality."
“Since you have been misleading my senses, there must be some flaws left. This black crow that appeared at the beginning is undoubtedly your flaw.”
Chen Qian sighed as he spoke, "You want me to empathize with your tragic fate, even just to feel your pain, but that makes it hard for me to do anything... But the truth is never like that. Maybe you were really ostracized when you were young, but everything that happened afterward was your own choice."
The second scroll of destiny shown is Zhou Yiwang's real past, but the direction in which the sword before sinking is thrust is still crucial, and there is a second "misleading" element in this.
If Shen Qian had thrust his longsword into the boy in the house, he might have damaged the foundation of King Zhou Yi's power, but he could not have severed his fate with a single strike.
Therefore, Shen Qian ultimately chose to believe that when the Sky-Gazing Mirror first activated, stealing Yu the Great's fate was not the turning point in Zhou Yi Wang's life, but rather that encounter.
The Sky-Gazing Mirror brought Shen Qian to the correct location from the very beginning; everything that followed was just unnecessary interference.
The butterfly effect always begins with the first flap of wings.
At this moment, with the true form of King Zhou Yi, who was hiding in this scroll of destiny, being revealed, it also means that... Shen Qian's gamble was correct.
Rumble!
Everything began to collapse, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Qian and Zhou Yi Wang were back on the second floor of the Myriad Pagoda.
This time, however, the 108 chains binding the sinker had vanished without a trace, while on the other side, Gu Donglai, whose body had been pierced by the Sky-Gazing Mirror, underwent a strange change.
His face twisted and turned, sometimes transforming into Ling Tianhou, sometimes into various unfamiliar figures. Behind Gu Donglai, a long shadow stretched across the ground, which was also pierced by a long sword. At this moment, the shadow was hunched over and writhing in pain.
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, atop a snow-capped mountain, a young man dressed in simple clothes sat cross-legged, staring blankly at the crack that had quietly appeared on his body.
A blinding white light emanated from the crack, and no matter how much he channeled his power, he could not heal it.
The Heavenly Mirror pierced the crossroads of King Zhouyi's fate, and even though his true form was not in the Myriad Manifestations Pagoda, it was equivalent to severing his "Dao".
Feeling his own realm constantly collapsing, King Zhouyi slowly raised his head and suddenly burst into laughter.
"What I really want isn't the 'spark' within that kid, but rather his innocent, naive, yet enviable life..."
After a long while, King Zhou Yi's laughter subsided, and he murmured something.
He has stolen countless lives, but no one has ever been able to make countless figures from ancient and modern times plot for him and willingly pave the way for him like Chen Qian.
This has nothing to do with the final strength or weakness, but only with the fate that is warmed by the gaze of countless people.
The vitality of the Zhou Yi King also began to dissipate.
Although the sinking only severed his "Dao," it was also equivalent to severing his lifespan. He had lived for tens of thousands of years, and once he lost the support of the "Dao," he would instantly turn into a skeleton.
He didn't actually have to die. He had multiple escape routes, and he also had an avatar that had already severed all connections, which he used to deal with the current situation.
But King Zhou Yi suddenly felt listless and did nothing, just staring blankly at the foot of the mountain, letting his body rot away little by little.
