Chapter 15
: Destiny, Sing My Name
At 10:30 a.m., Qiao Yuan had just arrived at the White Crane Martial Arts School when he personally received the bottle of silver-white Destiny Ascension Elixir from Master Li.
The bottom of the bottle also has an official federal QR code and a genuine product identification mark, exactly the same as the Destiny Potion that Yan Baobao was given back in school.
The difference is that reaching level 5 physique before the college entrance examination allows you to receive free magic potions from the Federation, which is great as it doesn't cost any money, but not many students reach that level.
Someone like him would have to pay for it himself, but luckily he got it for free.
However, just to be on the safe side, after the curator left, he still used his phone to scan the QR code and the genuine product identification mark. Only after confirming that everything was correct did Qiao Yuan unscrew the cap and drink the 200ml potion.
Before sublimation, I was filled with anticipation, but when I actually experienced sublimation, it felt just like that—my body felt like it was on fire, very hot and burning.
He sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Golden flames gradually ignited in his pitch-black vision, and then, as if shattering the dimension of reality, one star after another lit up, instantly transforming into a magnificent and vast sea of stars, followed by spiral galaxies, and then a vast cluster of galaxies composed of numerous galaxies...
The scene in my field of vision grew ever deeper, as if a single glance could encompass an eternity, and in an instant, the universe would be born and die.
Because Yan Baobao and Hu Tu had both achieved enlightenment before the college entrance examination, he was quite familiar with their experiences during the enlightenment process.
But something seems off about me?
In the process of sublimation, one can see the destruction and rebirth of countless universes, and even time itself is erased.
He even saw himself in countless timelines, as a king, a farmer, a warrior, a death row inmate, an evil god, nothingness, a creator, and countless other identities, appearing one after another.
Under this sudden and intense impact, his tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, as if a giant dragon that had been sleeping for countless years was about to open its eyes.
Teacher Wang, who was teaching students not far away, looked over in surprise.
He didn't know exactly what had happened, but Qiao Yuan had been kind to him. Even though it was a transaction, he couldn't help but feel worried that something might have happened to Qiao Yuan during the ascension process, especially since it was inside the martial arts school and the magic potion was provided by their school.
He immediately told the students around him to practice on their own, and then came to Qiao Yuan's side.
But he didn't know exactly what to do; he himself was just a normal secondary sublimation.
All we can do is stay and watch.
He could only hold his phone in his hand, and if he saw that Qiao Yuan had a problem, he would call 120.
In the end, Teacher Wang called out Master Li, thinking it was better to say so beforehand.
Time slowly passed, and Qiao Yuan remained immersed in the infinite multiverse. Each version of himself, whether in the future, the past, or a parallel universe, was now radiating a faint starlight that grew brighter and brighter.
This brilliance influences the universes on their respective timelines, making them shine.
But he further discovered that as countless timelines of himself shone like stars, white dwarfs, and the afterglow of neutron stars, even reaching the height of quasars, he shone to the extreme.
Instead, the timelines, the past, present, future, and the infinite multiverse all became increasingly dim...
As the endless radiance merged with each other, he gradually realized something, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to reality.
Past, present, and future, destiny sings my praises. The infinite multiverse is but a projection of a fleeting thought. Thus, I officially return to my guiding light.
He finally had a full understanding of the Eternal Great Luo status. From now on, he could no longer control his fate, and he could change whatever he was unhappy about without any constraints.
If I had to name it, it would probably be the still relatively weak sublimation realm.
But these are just scenes along the way.
[Formal ascension, access to the timeline increased to three times per day, unlocking the future timeline.]
[Advanced: Choose a sequence approach to increase the number of times you enter the timeline each day.]
Qiao Yuan glanced at his haul, quite satisfied. Now, facing the protection of Teacher Wang and Master Li beside him, his eyes flickered slightly: "Thanks."
"Huh?" Teacher Wang was quite surprised.
He himself had drunk the sublimation potion, and during the 10 minutes or so that he had his eyes closed, he couldn't sense the outside world at all.
But it seems that Qiao Yuan knew he had been watching over him the whole time, which is really exaggerated.
The bald-headed Master Li next to him was even more astonished. Although Baihe Martial Arts School could not be considered first-class, he was still a senior in the martial arts circle and had reached the second level of sublimation. At this moment, he also had his eyes opened.
He didn't need to guess to be certain that it wasn't something Qiao Yuan was deliberately faking.
That faint calmness gave him the illusion that he had met a martial arts master!
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he sensed that the boy in front of him was different from others and had enormous potential.
"Young friend, you truly deserve to be a student admitted to Galaxy University. You are clearly an outstanding individual. Hahaha, if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, just mention the name of my White Crane Martial Arts School. We are all friends."
Master Li, who had spent most of his life in the martial arts world, was now laughing heartily, making no attempt to hide his desire to befriend Qiao Yuan, even if it meant condescending to do so.
Teacher Wang was stunned. He also felt that Qiao Yuan was different from the other students, but he still didn't expect the curator to speak like that. Oh my god.
Qiao Yuan neither refused nor agreed directly, but simply smiled and said, "Senior is too modest."
"Oh dear, what senior?" Master Li was delighted to hear this, realizing even more that he hadn't misjudged him.
Qiao Yuan said nothing more. He stood up and felt as light as a swallow, able to easily jump seven or eight meters away as if walking on flat ground.
With a single punch, he fully mobilized all his strength, concentrating it into a single point, truly achieving a level of mastery over every muscle and bone.
Standing on the Ape God Stance again, he made rapid progress, instantly reaching the realm of merging with heaven and earth! He could then use this to unleash the Spirit Crane Surprise Attack with lightning speed, significantly enhancing the power of the Spirit Crane Great Scattered Hand, and the second level of the Spirit Crane was not far off.
Hearing, vision, and perception all improved significantly; no wonder it is said that even a secondary sublimation is already an extraordinary path.
This represents an improvement in every aspect.
But that's not all.
Each of the nine sublimation methods has its own characteristics. For example, mechanical sublimation involves implanting more advanced prosthetics, genetic sublimation involves continuously replacing high-quality genes, and psionic sublimation involves writing spiritual protocols and resonating with the spirituality of the universe time and time again.
In addition, niche methods of ascension, such as blessed ascension, gifts from evil gods, or so-called "familiarity," are prevalent among cultists or the followers of human deities, and have taken an early lead.
Symbiotic sublimation means coexisting with other life forms, sharing both prosperity and adversity. The strong can be several times stronger than others in the same realm, while the weak will die without knowing why.
There is also the Apostle Ascension, which is similar to the Blessed Ascension, but it is limited to the master-disciple lineage. The disciple inherits the master's Ascension and eventually reaches the master's level, or even surpasses the master.
Ascension in the cloud, as the name suggests, is the uploading of one's will to achieve immortality in the cloud, which is relatively simple.
The final ascetic ascension is the most rigorous and extreme, with the individual spending their entire life accumulating power. Once unleashed, it will unleash power dozens of times greater than before, but the price is death.
Very few people choose it, but the Expendables are very enthusiastic about it.
This is the core of the nine major advancements.
It's all documented in detail in high school textbooks; it's not a secret.
The sublimation of destiny is about constantly breaking through and shattering one's own limitations. At this moment, a series of corresponding information appeared before his eyes.
[Achieving a first-tier Heavenly Mandate Sublimation through five breakthroughs: This includes, but is not limited to, each level increase in physique, comprehension of ancient martial arts or new techniques, sudden enlightenment of Taoist arts or forbidden techniques, rewriting destiny, determining variables, turning the tide, and successfully launching a counterattack from a desperate situation all count as breakthroughs.]
Qiao Yuan chose to ascend to the Heavenly Mandate because he felt that only the Heavenly Mandate was suitable for the Eternal Great Luo position, and also because it was compatible with traveling to the past and future.
To know everything, to comprehend everything, and to reach a state of omniscience and omnipotence through countless timelines—this is destiny! The true destiny!
It was almost 11 o'clock, and he couldn't resist placing a bet when he got to Jianghai Boxing Gym.
Just then, Li Haoran walked into the martial arts school. Seeing him being repeatedly praised by Teacher Wang and Master Li, he immediately flew into a rage, shouting as he walked towards them, "What's going on? What's so great about him? Pretentious show-off! Pretty boy!"
Li Haoran was already annoyed because his father had invited these students to play games, and now that he saw Qiao Yuan was so popular, he became more and more resentful.
"You're feeding that gigolo, I'm talking to you!"
"Loading cargo, I'll send you soaring to the heavens!"
Seeing that Qiao Yuan ignored him, Li Haoran got angry and punched Qiao Yuan. Yesterday Lin Ya stopped him, let's see who dares to stop him today.
