Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

Lord of the Celestial Court?

Ning Xunqiu had no interest in achieving the "Lord of the Celestial Court" through the "River of Destiny."

The Great Dao is singular.

He had already walked his own path of the Dao.

The Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy was perfected with the help of the Three Immortals of Jade Sky, but ultimately only became a vessel for the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map."

Ning Xunqiu’s Primordial Spirit connected to the "River of Destiny," seeing that he had only one destiny line on his body.

[With the Immortal Slaying Sword Map sheltering Purple Sky Immortal Island, staying closed off in Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, focusing solely on cultivation.]

Ning Xunqiu gazed along the destiny line to its end.

Under the protection of the Immortal Slaying Sword Map, the Zhiyu Country within Purple Sky Immortal Island was spared from the spread of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and the six of Zizhu remained in seclusion, not stepping beyond the ten-thousand-mile sea area.

For thirteen years, he would remain in Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth cultivating. Gao Fei Xue, Ah Qing, and Yiya would restrain the disciples of the Dao Lineage, focusing solely on cultivation.

Due to the influence of Ning Xunqiu’s style of conduct, even when the disciples of the Dao Lineage ventured out, they only traveled between Purple Sky Immortal Island and Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, and not a single one encountered the peril of life and death.

This destiny line truly was a portrayal of his life.

"It’s truly too cautious... too overly cautious."

Ning Xunqiu couldn’t help but silently sigh, attempting to nudge it, finding that he couldn’t shake this "predetermined destiny line" in the slightest.

Truly, my heart is as firm as iron.

Ning Xunqiu began to attempt to nudge the "predetermined destiny lines" of others.

Life is inherently a journey filled with infinite variables.

Stepping out of the door early and getting struck by a meteor, or stepping out late and finding treasure—every choice could lead to an entirely different destiny path.

Even though his River of Destiny, due to its incompleteness, was unable to shake the destiny lines of all beings, those whose lives were intertwined with his were still within the influence of his River of Destiny.

Even a mere encounter or a brief conversation could become the opportunity to nudge their destiny line.

Ning Xunqiu gazed at the River of Destiny, at the densely intertwined "predetermined destiny lines" on himself.

Among them, the destiny lines linking him with Gao Fei Xue, Ning Yu, Ah Qing, Dongfang Mingyue, Yiya, and the Flame Sparrow were the most profound, while all other Dao Lineage disciples also had countless ties with him.

Ning Xunqiu concentrated, filtering out the destiny lines on them, eliminating those with minor modifications.

[On a whim, visiting the Green Grassland, one could join Sister Ah Qing for a lamb feast; the Spirit Beast raised by Ah Qing happens to be breeding, and she attains enlightenment in Sword Intent.]

[On a whim, visiting Shennong Valley, one could obtain treasures hidden by Yiya Ancestor; upon Yiya Ancestor’s return from lecturing, he finds his home stolen, raging and realizing—]

[On a whim, nurturing the Lifebound Sword "Sword of Freedom" with the Primordial Spirit, Dongfang Mingyue "has the chance" to attain enlightenment, improving in Dao Practice—]

"Is this the variable? Can it actually help them attain enlightenment?!"

Ning Xunqiu nudged the destiny lines of Gao Fei Xue, Ah Qing, Yiya, and Dongfang Mingyue, forcing an opportunity for enlightenment to appear approximately every few months.

He suddenly found the "River of Destiny" quite useful.

Subsequently, Ning Xunqiu gently nudged the destiny lines of each Dao Lineage disciple.

After practicing, Qingfeng Child and Baiyun Child accidentally choked on Spirit Fruit, realizing magic.

Some disciples, "on a whim," exited the pass, stumbled to the ground, and upon getting up, inadvertently gazed at resilient grass growing between stones, gaining some insight, and their Primordial Spirit Dao Practice instantly increased by three years.

Some disciples, "on a whim," climbed a peak, accidentally slipped and fell, crying in pain, without gaining any enlightenment.

Some disciples quarreled with friends, engaging in a discussion of Dao, both improving in temperament...

...

Ning Xunqiu busied himself for a day, observing the particularly "happy" Yiya and the Dao Lineage disciples, he contently clapped his hands.

There is no gain without sacrifice.

After all, it doesn’t involve life and death.

He suddenly remembered he hadn’t nudged the destiny line of his daughter, Ning Yu.

"Huh?"

Ning Xunqiu observed countless destiny lines tightly woven on his daughter, a thousand times more than most.

Moreover, there was an exceptional destiny line of chaos color.

Ning Xunqiu nudged the chaos destiny line through the River of Destiny.

"An unknown destiny line? It could either be a great misfortune or great fortune?"

"Great misfortune?"

Ning Xunqiu scoffed.

With a thought, he mobilized the three swords in the Immortal Slaying Sword Map—"Sword of Chaos," "Immortal Slaying Sword," "Sword of Despair," and they manifested above the Celestial Vault of the Mountain and River Realm across heavy spaces.

Simultaneously, a deep ringing came from the Donghuang Bell in the depths of the Immortal Slaying Sword Map, accompanied by four resplendent golden suns slowly rising, illuminating all directions.

Above his head manifested a radiant Lifebound Character "Qi Tian."

Everything ready, Ning Xunqiu nudged the unknown destiny line on his daughter, Ning Yu, via the River of Destiny.

"I don’t care about any great misfortune, turn it all into great fortune for me!"

...

Mountain and River Realm.

Cyan Mountain Ancestral Lineage.

A twelve-year-old ponytail girl was leading both the elderly and the young in practicing fist techniques, move by move, in front of the "Martial Stele."

"Xiaoyu, my stomach is about to stick to my backbone. Do you have any Red Jade Spirit Seed in your Qiankun Circle for me to nibble?" Nearby, a Big White Goose lay sprawled lazily, its wings drooping without strength, its voice barely a whisper.

The girl gave the Big White Goose a cursory glance, "Those Spirit Seeds were annihilated cleanly by us ten years ago."

Hearing this, the Big White Goose raised its neck with difficulty, a look of utter desolation written across its face.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the old tree, and a round Flame Sparrow with a golden tuft on its head was anxiously pacing back and forth on a branch:

"Xiaoyu, when can we finally go back? Is Qingyun still sulking?"

Ning Yu halted her movements, helplessly spreading her hands, "Uncle Yan, don’t nag anymore. I too am at a loss, unable to contact Father at all."

Hearing this, the Flame Sparrow curled its mouth: "Qingyun is so petty, what a trivial thing this is..."

Before finishing its sentence, it suddenly shivered.

The Flame Sparrow’s feathers bristled on the spot.

"What is going on?"

The Big White Goose noticed the tense atmosphere, sprang upright like a carp, and vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

The Barbaric Realm, it had heard Daoist Master and its master mention, contains beings with the presence of "deities," whose strength is equivalent to the True Immortal attainment, posing a significant threat to them.

The Flame Sparrow, a Supreme Divine Weapon of the Daoist Master, whose strength could easily suppress a True Immortal, even it sensed danger...

Things are getting troublesome.

"Shh."

The Flame Sparrow looked seriously towards the foot of the mountain.

Ning Yu gently raised a hand, signaling to the Big White Goose, which in no time transformed into a seven-foot-long Chaotic Heaven Silk, twining around her body.

The jade bracelet on Ning Yu’s left hand flashed and transformed into an ancient sword hovering by her side.

She quietly took off a "Golden Ring" she was wearing, clenched it gently, and it immediately transformed into a circle of dazzling golden light — the formidable magical treasure embryo, "Qiankun Circle."

Ning Yu was fully armed.

Then, she signaled to the group practicing fist techniques; upon seeing her gesture, they quickly stopped their actions and swiftly hid behind the "Martial Stele."

...

At the foot of the mountain.

The surrounding space seemed to be gently kneaded by invisible hands, making a group of men and women in "strange clothes" appear out of thin air.

There were five of them in total.

Leading them was a man with golden hair and golden eyes, a pair of finely crafted gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, exuding an extraordinary air.

The man lightly adjusted his spectacles; as his fingertips touched them, invisible ripples began to spread outward silently, centering around him.

[Successfully smuggled into an unknown world... scanning unknown world...]

[Time... location... Qin Country Yunzhou Cyan Mountain... Qin People Martial Dao Ancestral Vein... traces of possible "Mythical Immortal" presence... danger... warning...]

[...]

Suddenly, striking red letters appeared on the lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses.

"Mythical Immortal?! Qi Cultivator?!"

The golden-haired man’s heart trembled intensely.

Within the sequence of Qi Cultivators, a Mythical Immortal, in the Main God’s evaluation, is a high-ranking life form surpassing Level 7, whose minimum power can explode stars, immeasurable in might.

And presently, among the "Main God’s Apostles," none have yet broken through Level 7 to become high-ranking life forms.

More tricky is that if a Mythical Immortal is discovered in a low-level world, the Main God will decisively abandon the conquest plan for that world.

Such beings are beyond the reach of apostles.

This matter is widely known among the apostles; clearly, the "Mythical Immortal" in the Qi Cultivator sequence is moving toward an even more terrifying existence form. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Among the Main God’s Apostles, those who have chosen the Qi Cultivator sequence excel, mastering various magic, capable of healing and resisting enemies, and have the power to counteract bizarre phenomena, surpassing other apostles in combat and survival.

However, that’s survivor bias.

The Main God cannot forcibly infuse Qi Cultivators with "Dao Practice," requiring them to cultivate and comprehend themselves, leading to a shortage of combat power in the early stages, making survival across worlds challenging without resources from a squad, though they can exchange points for magical power.

Thus, surviving Qi Cultivators lack no magical power, making them particularly troublesome.

The teammates beside the golden-haired man, their gaze touching the sudden red light, felt a tightness in their hearts.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, suffocatingly heavy.

The Main God divides worlds into "Trial World," "Low-level World," "Intermediate World," "Advanced World," and those legendary "God-Demon Level World" and "Forbidden Level World."

Beyond the first three "Trial Worlds," each subsequent world is an information-deficient "Low-level World," unless entirely conquered by an apostle squad.

Otherwise, who knows what’s in that world...

Once, the top-ranked apostle squad by the Main God was resting in a low-level world when a team member’s curiosity startled a long-dormant Ancient God.

Leading to total annihilation.

Afterward, that low-level world was immediately upgraded by the Main God to a "God-Demon Level World."

They failed in their last Main God mission and, as punishment, had to become pioneers once.

Pioneers, the name itself implies exploring an unknown world, extremely dangerous.

[No traces of Mythical Immortal presence found... continuing scan... Jin People... Profound Person... Ordinary Human Race... the training method can break through to the Fourth Realm of Martial Arts "Innate"... highest energy level Level 3...]

[World danger rating — Low-level.]

[Unknown world conquest difficulty — Low-level.]

"Low-level world, martial arts, energy level Level 3."

The golden-haired man exhaled deeply, whispering to his four tense teammates.

Among them were martial arts sequences, their strength in the Fourth Realm "Innate" in a low-level world known as "Land Immortal," their physique robust, coupled with True Qi Armor able to break through thousands of troops, practically not human.

But as apostles surviving from "Advanced World," what grand scenes hadn’t they seen?

Low-level world?

A piece of cake.

"Modern..."

"Boss, look at the mission the Main God assigned us this time."

Within the squad, a woman with a mechanical body appeared relaxed, chewing gum slowly.

Martial Dao is a normal sequence, none of higher tiers would interfere.

Safe.

"Hmm."

The golden-haired man absentmindedly responded, lifting his gaze to stare at the seemingly calm sky, deep inside feeling an ominous premonition.

Humph!

At worst, complete the Main God mission and immediately get out!

Never linger a second longer!
