The Against Heaven

Chapter 30: Opening the Palace of Destiny (1)

It was the opposite case for the Wheel of Life and the Palace of Destiny. One could not naturally increase the innate rank of their Life Wheel and Fate Palace. Even if one were to become an Immortal Emperor, the Life Wheel and the Fate Palace would be the same as when they were born.

All three were extremely important for cultivation purposes. Physically determining one's bone and muscle structure, the Life Wheel handled one's blood energy, and the Fate Palace showed one's innate talent and natural enlightenment.

For example, if one possessed the Sacred Life Wheel, then his blood energy would be abundant like desert sand, when trained using the Life Wheel method, his speed would be extremely fast, the effect would also be greater.

Li Han Tian slowly read the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law to discover the mysterious truth of this method. The Heaven Ancient Sect had a complete version of this merit law, but what Li Han Tian was aiming for was more complex than manuals.

Talking about the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Laws meant talking about his extraordinary origin of how Li Han Tian struggled to obtain these merit laws. At the beginning of the Emperors Era, he had thought of letting Immortal Emperor Min Ren cultivate this method, but he changed his mind.

In the old Era of Destruction, both humans and demons were extremely weak species. Many immortal sages spent their lives creating merit laws and cultivation methods that were appropriate for these unfortunate beings, eventually they were able to form a new era of flourishing.

There was a formidable immortal sage who created the Life Wheel merit law that allowed one to cultivate quickly; it was named the Revolving Crescent Moon. At this early stage of merit laws, cultivators could use their blood energy to build their Fate Palaces, and their cultivation levels rapidly increased.

However, the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law had a fatal flaw. The initial stage allowed blood energy to carry one's cultivation level, but as his cultivation level increased, his weak blood energy was no longer sufficient. The result was that the person would be left in a stage where his blood energy was weak and his cultivation was unable to grow. If he were to force his technique, his longevity would decrease due to over-exerting his life blood.

When Li Han Tian had obtained this method, he passed it down to many people. However, none of them could make perfect use of it. For the sake of refining this technique, Li Han Tian gathered many Immortal Emperors, including Immortal Emperor Xue Xi, Immortal Emperor Min Ren and Immortal Emperor Tun Ri.

It was only during the era of the Black Dragon King Li Han Tian that this technique was perfected. Today, as he researched his technique, his old memories that contained the mysterious truth in the merit law returned to him.

After recovering the completed and revised Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law, Li Han Tian took a deep breath.

In this world, not many people knew the effort he had spent on this technique in the entire era. Who knew how many immortal sages of mankind had spent their lives developing this method?

In fact, after Li Han Tian left this method in the Heaven Ancient Sect, many genius disciples had tried it, but none of them could reach the final completion.

Li Han Tian spent three days and three nights researching the Six Variants of Kun Peng and the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law. Nan Huairen was still not back, since Li Han Tian was not in a hurry, he chose to remain at the peak to cultivate further.

After his two methods were ready, Li Han Tian was ready to officially begin his cultivation. It could be said that Li Han Tian's experience and knowledge of cultivation was extremely rich even if his innate talent was subpar.

Although both methods were heaven-defying, he did not rush towards completion. He wanted quality in his cultivation. He knew that rushing would only leave hidden dangers and flaws for one's long path of cultivation.

Li Han Tian was cultivating both of them at the same time, but the two methods were not related or in sync with each other. The Six Variants of Kun Peng were about using the Fate Palace while the Rotating Crescent Sun was a Life Wheel Technique. One can process both at first without any complications.

There is a fourth type of method beyond the three methods mentioned, some people call it the basic method. This method did not focus on Physiques, Life Wheels, or Fate Palaces individually, but instead focused on all three simultaneously. Although this fourth type had many uses, and its usability effects seemed great, it was difficult to cultivate such a method to a higher rank.

Of course, merit laws and cultivation methods were not everything. Without a strong will, in the end everything would disappear like a wind-blown cloud. Many geniuses in the past started their cultivation with the heaven-shattering method. This gave them a smooth path until they suffered from Qi Deviation. Other geniuses were pampered at the beginning, and they were given the method of Immortal Emperor at the beginning, but when it came time for them to compete for the Will of Heaven, it was only then that they were given the method of Immortal Emperor, they were unable to develop their own Secret Law of Heaven's Will, they lacked the experience and toughness of their past easy path.

After thinking about all the cultivation-related disturbances, Li Han Tian channeled his Life Wheel using the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law; the effect was obvious, the effect was obvious, behind Li Han Tian's head was a wheel of light that spun around without pause, and his blood energy began to move within the light.

Blood energy flowed through the Life Wheel as if it was a stream controlled by its current, never stopping.

Li Han Tian was born with the Mortal Life Wheel, he had no advantage regarding this area. Because his blood energy was weak, his blood flow was not strong in the rotation of his Life Wheel.

If someone else with the Xiantian Life Wheel or the Emperor Life Wheel developed the same merit law, their current would be a great river. The current of the Sacred Life Wheel would be as great as the ocean itself.

Li Han Tian practiced the Six Variants Kun Peng spell, and he started activating his Fate Palace in a certain order.

The Fate Palace was the home of one's fate, it carried three souls and seven spirits. The Fate Palace was hidden inside the Shang Dantian, so Li Han Tian started using the Six Variants to knock on the Palace door. The Fate Palace slowly appeared in his Shang Dantian. (Shang Dantian is a meridian located above the forehead)

The Fate Palace had an ancient design, and was extremely clear. However, as his Fate Palace only had mortal rank, the light emitting from it dimmed.

Normally the Fate Palace was closed, and souls and spirits rested. One had to knock on the Fate Palace to awaken souls and spirits to channel their power, then one could start cultivating.

This was why first-rate cultivation was known as the Palace Foundation. This level itself is divided into three separate stages: First Entrance, Second Awareness, and Third Bloodsurge.

The First Entrance was the process of knocking on the Fate Palace, allowing spells of the cultivation method to enter the Fate palace. During this process, it was similar to a monk tapping on his wooden plate to connect with Buddha. One had to do it endlessly and faithfully, and only then, the Fate Palace would answer by opening its doors.

“Bang, Bang, Bang.” Li Han Tian used the Six Variants spell to knock on his Fate Palace nonstop. He had already forgotten how many times he had done it, but the Fate Palace did not answer him. However, this did not deter Li Han Tian.

For a genius, especially someone who possessed the Saint Fate Palace, the process of opening the Fate Palace was very easy as their souls and spirits were extremely formidable. Legend has it that there was a person with the Holy Fate Palace who only needed to knock once before opening his Palace.

This person would be a genius among geniuses; however, Li Han Tian was not part of this group. He has to be patient and put in a lot of effort, that's the only way for him to go to success.

Although Li Han Tian knew several different methods to open the Fate Palace with just a single tap, he knew, like using the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law to gather all of his blood energy to raise the Six Variants Kun Peng spell to strike a hard blow to the Palace Door, he was unwilling to do so.

His Life Wheel only had a mortal level, and his blood energy was thin. If he used his blood energy excessively, then his Life Wheel would be damaged. Not only that, but such a powerful blow would scare his soul and spirit, and it would leave complications in the future.

Knowing his weakness, Li Han Tian was determined to make a solid foundation without any flaws. He kept knocking on his Palace Door, even if it was ten thousand times or a hundred thousand times, he would continue until the Palace Door opened.
