...

It does not force things.

Regarding Aptitude and Comprehension, it simply lets things take their course.

After all, it carries the Inheritance of the Divine Calculator, the path of Ancient Heavenly Secret.

What it values is karmic opportunity.

Moreover, it was Lu Qing who imbued it with consciousness; in a certain sense, it was also influenced by a trace of Lu Qing's Dao Rhyme.

In the path of karmic opportunity, Lu Qing did not inherit the Dao Rhyme of his predecessors; instead, he realized the Dao through his own comprehension, thereby deriving his own path of karmic opportunity.

And that spark of spiritual insight originated from when he listened to the Dao and beheld that sword light which severed Qi Fortune.

The heavens and stars were vast and infinite; as the sword light struck, starlight fell like rain.

How spectacular, how magnificent.

Such great spirit, such great grandeur.

This Jade Slip of Divine Calculator's Ancient Heavenly Secret also inherited this concept of karmic opportunity from Lu Qing—karmic opportunity in the world is like smoke and dust, dispersing and gathering once more.

There is no need for self-attachment.

Therefore, its determination to find a successor for its Dao Lineage was not as resolute as the Divine Firmament Lightning.

In other words, it just lets nature take its course.

Everything is as usual.

If it happens upon one, it will pass it on.

If it doesn't, well, even the glorious Ancient era has passed. As a spiritual entity within a Jade Slip with a Lifespan nearly infinite compared to a Cultivator, it has no need to worry about the issue of Lifespan.

It can simply observe the world, and perhaps when the time comes, it will be able to return to Lu Qing's side.

After all, nurturing a successor is truly troublesome.

"Sigh, troublesome, troublesome."

The light of the Jade Slip flickered gently.

It randomly sought a spot in the North Heaven Continent to descend.

Although it lets nature take its course, it does not mean it does nothing at all.

Not to mention how much wonder and legend the departure of the two Jade Slips would add to this era of variables in the future.

Lu Qing's gaze flickered slightly; he also had a feeling in his heart regarding the two spiritual entities he had inadvertently imbued with consciousness.

He knew that all spiritual entities in the world are different.

"The North Heaven Continent is fine; given the nature of the Heavenly Secrets Jade Slip, I fear it won't stir up any trouble."

"However, it is hard to say for the Divine Firmament Lightning. The vast territory of the East Heaven Continent is basically the domain of the Taiyi Immortal Court and the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty. The Immortal Court and Dynasties are inherently the most centralized Dao Lineage powers, and the Inheritance of the Divine Firmament Lightning prioritizes the Dao Heart."

"Its mental state requirement may not be at the standard of a Saint, but those who are greatly treacherous or evil are definitely not acceptable. Yet, the rule of these two Dao Lineages tends towards that of an imperial court."

"Lightning is extremely rigid and yang; over there, they emphasize official positions and immortal ranks. I fear that there will be quite a bit of turmoil in the East Heaven Continent."

However, the inheritance of a Dao is the most variable and uncertain thing in the world. Now that people with Ancient Immortal seeds have appeared, it is not strange for an Ancient Dao Lineage to appear as well.

This is also why Lu Qing is not worried about the issue of Heavenly Secrets being obscured at this moment.

After all, this is a Dao Lineage, not the personal Inheritance of a Cultivator; it is the karmic opportunity Inheritance of a Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Like a variable, it cannot be divined or observed.

Even with the causal hexagram reading connected to Lu Qing's core, he can only roughly deduce that it is in these two Continents. If he wants to continue calculating, he would have to pay a price.

His true self concentrates on cultivation.

This Incarnation, created from a ruthless Divine Sense and stationed in the Immortal City, also has its own cultivation.

It is not the true Lu Qing; it follows the path of Nature—Heaven and Earth are my nature; one can cultivate without entering the Mortal World.

This Incarnation, which seems to have a heart of Heaven as its master, although ruthless, walks the path of the Mortal World.

Among the many cultivations in the world, the vast majority cannot avoid the Mortal World.

Whether it is gaining experience, Sect missions, or entering Cave Dwellings and ruins, a Cultivator's lifelong cultivation—even for a prodigy—requires interacting with other Cultivators and other Prodigies.

Once one enters the Mortal World, the vast web of Karma and the net of Heavenly Secrets follow, from a single point to individual threads, finally forming the dusty net beneath one's feet.

Lu Qing's Incarnation cultivates by absorbing the thoughts of the Mortal World.

From the expansion of the Immortal City, the admission of foreign Cultivators, the establishment of rules within the city, to the exchange of goods with other Immortal Cities, and many other matters, big and small.

Although not every single detail appears before it, it is still much more deeply involved in the world than the cultivation of the true Lu Qing, who ignores worldly affairs.

However, this youthful Incarnation still maintains an aura of ruthlessness and indifference.

For it, every time it handles these trivial matters of the Mortal World, it is a form of cultivation.

"My Lord, that foreign Cultivator who was imprisoned says he has important intelligence to report to you."

While Lu Qing's true self was concentrating on cultivation, the ruthless Incarnation in Wuqing Immortal City also ferreted out a spy from the Demonic Path.

It originally thought it was a simple spy from the Demonic Path.

But the situation turned out differently.

In the pitch-black, gloomy prison specially used to detain Cultivators, countless complex and terrifying Restrictions turned into invisible chains, extending in all directions, sealing every piece of space and preventing any teleportation, allowing no one to break through.

The expansion of an Immortal City naturally cannot be smooth sailing.

However, compared to the local backers, Lu Qing also has backers, and his own absolute hard power is sufficient.

These troubles only count as pebbles on the road; stepping over them is enough.

It did not disturb Lu Qing's true self to personally handle them.

After all, he has not forgotten that the existence of the Incarnation is to help him experience the path of the Mortal World.

And not the other way around, requiring his true self to clean up these consequences for the Incarnation.

Lu Qing himself finds it troublesome, and every time the Incarnation takes action, it upholds the philosophy of Lu Qing's true self.

Prioritize stability, but when taking action, be ruthless like lightning, showing no mercy.

Lest the roots are not completely eradicated, and it grows again in the spring breeze next year.

In this prison, today, a piece of extremely obscure and shocking secret news was transmitted out.

So much so that when Lu Qing was originally cultivating in the mountain dojo, hearing this sentence made him raise his eyebrows, and amidst his stillness and lack of thought, a new hexagram reading was triggered.
