The path to ascend to heaven is beneath your feet, with an unwavering will_3 “The rumors of the woodcutter encountering the Immortal…” Chen Dengming nodded slightly, for he had heard of them too.

Qu Shenzong said, “According to the intention of your Ancestor, everything in the world has its predestined fate, and this fate lies within the chessboard of the Immortal’s game.

Your Ancestor, you, I, all of us might just be pieces on the chessboard, or perhaps not even pieces at all.

The death of your Ancestor was predestined, for he was merely a sacrificial piece in the hands of the Immortal…”

“Predestined fate?”

Chen Dengming frowned, looking at the mountain peak ahead, feeling an inexplicable surge of anger.

He refused to believe in any predestined fate.

...

The thought that his Ancestor’s death was a predetermined event, a piece the Immortal had decided to sacrifice long ago, only filled him with ridicule and sorrow.

Even if his Ancestor had been willing, he himself would never accept being a mere pawn, with his fate already decreed by the hands of the Immortal.

“It seems you also don’t believe in predetermination.”

Qu Shenzong folded his hands behind his back and laughed, his eyes shining mysteriously, “Neither do I believe it.

The game of chess is always full of uncertainties.

Even a dead piece might find a chance to be brought back to life.

That’s why I came here to look at this ancient Immortal chessboard, seeking opportunities for survival amidst apparent doom.

Alright, let’s prepare to climb the mountain!

You may familiarize yourself first.

There are two paths up Rotten Cole Mountain.

We can only take the rough and difficult path.

On this route, the higher we go, the greater the pressure becomes…”

Chen Dengming nodded and looked ahead at the mountain path.

One could see one path was rugged and perilous, with rocks jutting out chaotically.

The other was smooth and majestic, with steps as white as snow, resembling jade.

He wasn’t in a hurry and first performed hand gestures to conjure several Incarnations, sending them ahead to scout the path.

The moment the Incarnations stepped onto the steep steps ahead, they were crushed by a tremendous pressure.

Having only gone a short distance, the Incarnations appeared as if they were carrying mountains on their backs, struggling forward with their Spiritual Light bursting violently.

With a thought from Chen Dengming, the Incarnations leaped into the air, only to be smashed by an unseen and terrifying force, exploding in unison.

“Such immense pressure…” Chen Dengming was astonished.

With his current strength, the Incarnations he had formed had the strength of a late Nascent Soul stage, yet they could not withstand the pressure even for a hundred steps up the mountain.

He could empathize with what the Incarnations felt on the path.

This mountain path gave him the sense of an insurmountable route to the high heavens, where the pressure increased with altitude.

“It seems that among the Immortals who played the game back then, one was a Heavenly Immortal, whose moves affected the natural energy of the mountain and changed its feng shui to create this domain, giving rise to the sensation of ascending to the heavens…

The other path must have been influenced by the immortal power of a God Immortal.”

Chen Dengming turned to Qu Shenzong, his eyes bright, “Senior Qu, am I right?”

“Indeed!”

Qu Shenzong looked appreciative and said, “This heavenly path should not be difficult for us, for both you and I cultivate the Heaven Immortal Dao.

However, the real challenge lies ahead, where not only our character but also our understanding of the Heavenly Immortal Dao’s Intention will be tested.

If one’s understanding of the Dao’s Intention is shallow, they’ll struggle to truly ascend this mountain.

These years I’ve stayed here, not only to climb, but also to refine and deepen my understanding of the Dao’s Intention…”

With that, Qu Shenzong took the lead, stepping onto the mountain path as if it was flat ground, taking one step after another on the steps and rapidly ascending without appearing to feel any pressure at all.

Chen Dengming’s gaze flashed, he patted his Giant Deer Robe.

With a neigh, the Giant Deer knew what to do and took leave, transforming into a giant deer and waiting at the foothill.

Chen Dengming, donned in a green shirt, began his ascent.

At first, the pressure of several dozen steps was not much of an impact on him.

Beyond those steps, the higher he climbed, the heavier Chen Dengming felt, as if he was on the verge of turning into a mortal.

The mana and Dao Force inside his body seemed to lose any supportive function.

Had his feet would be welcome to carry on and.

“Looks like you do not believe in predestination either.”

Good.

Let’s get ready to go up the mountain!

It is best that you first get acquainted with this Rotten Cole Mountain, which has two routes.

We can only take the steeper and more difficult path.

Chen Dengming looked in the direction of the mountain trails.

Ahead were rugged terrain and uneven boulders.

The angrier he became.

He didn’t want to believe in predestination.

He felt it to be nothing short of absurd and tragic that the curse of predestination could take his beloved’s life, reducing him to a mere pawn to be discarded by the Immortals.

It appeared you too don’t believe in fate.

Qu Shenzong chuckled and continued.

Chen Dengming nodded and looked toward the mountain paths.

There he saw one path, rugged and dangerous, strewn with rocks.

He called forth several Incarnations to test the path ahead.

.FixedSingle, Qu Shenzong moved ahead, taking to the mountain path with ease, climbing rapidly as though under no pressure at all.

Chen Dengming tapped his Giant Deer Robe, and with a neigh, the robe quaintly slipped off to transform into a Giant Deer, waiting at the base of the mountain.

Chen Dengming, dressed in a cyan robe, began his ascent.

It feels like I’m ascending to the very heavens themselves…

Chen Dengming looked up to where the path continued into the clouds, seemingly never-ending.

Enduring the increasing burden, he didn’t feel his Mana nor his Primordial Spirit; they seemed to offer no support.

The path up the mountain, ever more taxing to perceive, and even the figure of Senior Qu was nowhere to be seen.

However long it might have taken, suddenly the fog parted ahead, revealing the figure of Senior Qu, but it was strangely distorted, sending an unsettling chill through him…
