# Chapter 745: Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff
Divine Spirit Ancient Scripture—these four words were so striking that they drew the attention of the three people completely. They stared at it without stopping, and even Li Tian's hands trembled slightly.
The paper was yellowed, a type of Daoist Heavenly Dao paper unique to their sect, refined through multiple complex ancient methods including enlightenment, sacrifice, and deduction. When opened, ripples of Dao permeated outward.
On the yellow paper were only a few words, the brushstrokes penetrating the paper, vigorous and powerful like dragons leaping through the sea. The several people all felt a start in their hearts, revealing strange expressions.
On a moonlit night, at Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff.
Within the yellow paper were only these eight characters. Was this revealing heavenly secrets? Did it mean the Divine Spirit Ancient Scripture would appear there? The hearts of the several people shook violently, unable to remain calm.
"Can we see the Heavenly Fate Elder one last time?" Li Tian asked with rare solemnity in his expression.
"The Ancestral Master is about to enter nirvana. In the final three days, he sees no outsiders and makes no prophecies. Otherwise, it would bring great calamity to our Ancient Dao sect." The young Daoist boy spoke with a sorrowful expression.
The Heavenly Fate Sect was a reclusive Ancient Dao sect that had remained extremely low-key over the years, precisely because they had seen too many heavenly secrets and encountered many calamities.
In their final moments, each generation's Heavenly Fate Elder would become spiritually attuned, nearly becoming a prophet of destiny, able to see many future scenes.
But at this moment, they could not speak of it, or else it would surely leave great disaster for their descendants. Revealing heavenly secrets and dying miserably themselves was one thing, but it might also cause their Dao sect to be cut off entirely.
"There are still two prophecies to be given to the three of you. Please return in twenty years." The young Daoist boy recited the Heavenly Venerable's name and performed a Daoist salute.
With such upheaval occurring in the Heavenly Fate Ancient Dao sect, Ye Fan and the others naturally could not continue to disturb them. Outside the Primordial Abyss, they earnestly paid their respects, then departed.
"The peerless Heavenly Fate National Master of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, before entering nirvana, used his lifelong Dao power to deduce that the dynasty would surely flourish greatly, with a divine infant descending from heaven to become the Divine Lord. But after he spoke these words, his young grandson died young, and his eldest son was severely wounded to the point of death. This shows how tragic the fate of those who reveal heavenly secrets can be." On the way back, Yan Yixi sighed.
"Is there truly some power in the unseen? Why can the future be foreseen? What exactly are heavenly fate and heavenly punishment?" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
"These things are very illusory. Given the various divine phenomena of the Heavenly Fate Ancient Dao sect, several sages in ancient times specifically studied them." Yan Yixi said.
"Oh? Tell me about it. What's the real story?" Ye Fan was very interested.
"According to the words of several ancient sages, there is no predetermined fate. Everything is in flux, and so-called prophecies are not necessarily accurate."
These several ancient sages all possessed great wisdom. They used the most basic Dao principles to explain all this in a way that ordinary people could easily understand.
According to what they said, all people, things, and events have their own trajectories, moving amid transformation. Occasionally, someone would have a flash of insight and capture this trajectory—this was what was called foreseeing the future.
Just like when yellow leaves wither, the moment they leave the branch, people can foresee that they will fall to the ground. Just like when a great river bursts its banks, in that instant of terror, people know it will wash away the villages downstream. Just like when a swan goose is struck by an arrow and cries in sorrow, people can foresee that it will fall to the earth.
These things are very simple. People don't think much of them and don't consider them prophecies. But in fact, they can be examined more deeply. If these processes are complicated, then they become what is called deducing heavenly secrets.
In this world, when certain "causes" exist, some "effects" can sometimes be foreseen. This is what is called seeing through heavenly secrets.
Whether it's a person, an object, or an event, everything has its own trajectory of movement. If we see the first half of its journey, sometimes we can predict the next segment of its trajectory.
Of course, all things are in flux. No one can truly determine the future. Like the withered yellow leaf—it might not necessarily fall to the ground; it could very well be blown up by the wind and land in a tree hollow. Like the great river bursting its banks—it might change course midway and not necessarily wash away the villages downstream. Like the arrow-struck swan goose—it might also flee far away wounded and not fall down at all.
After hearing this, Ye Fan felt it made a lot of sense. With the simple exposition of several ancient sages, everything became clear and easy to understand.
"So you're saying that the two prophetic Dao papers the Heavenly Fate Elder gave us before his nirvana might change and might not necessarily be accurate?" Li Tian said.
Although people, events, and things all have their own trajectories of movement, there are ultimately unpredictable variables.
However, they weren't too concerned about this, because the road ahead was already full of uncertainty. Even the Heavenly Fate Elder had only said four words: "The outer domain is viable."
"What about heavenly punishment?" Ye Fan asked.
"According to what the several ancient sages said, it's just a kind of Dao power." Yan Yixi said.
When a person occasionally has a flash of divine light, their consciousness transcends, rising above their trajectory, seeing the road ahead, and perceiving the "future." In this process, they also trigger the power of the "original trajectory."
This kind of trajectory power is very terrifying. When you perceive what lies ahead, you also interfere with this trajectory, and its fluctuations will inevitably have a force and influence on you.
"That makes a lot of sense." Ye Fan nodded. The several ancient sages were indeed remarkable, almost fully explaining and exhausting the mysteries of this.
"I'm standing on this mountain, looking at the road ahead. Does that count as seeing through a trajectory, with Dao power acting on me?" Li Tian said.
"Yes, but it's negligible. This is basic, and it also belongs to the trajectory power that each of us faces at every moment."
"Why make it so complicated? I do what I do, I walk my path. Whatever trajectory, whatever Dao power, I'll trample them all apart. Whoever blocks my way gets cut down!"
The several people talked as they moved far away from the Primordial Abyss.
Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff was located in the easternmost part of Divine Continent, adjacent to the vast blue sea. It was a place full of legendary color.
The legend of immortals was an eternal topic. Whether in the Big Dipper Star Domain or on this ancient star, it remained an enduring mystery.
Some said that ancient great emperors had transformed into feathers and ascended as immortals here, leaving this world. Hence, there were no imperial secrets, no extreme weapons.
Others said this was a mountain wall that had fallen from the Immortal Domain. In ancient times, a human clan great sage had personally witnessed that scene.
Still others said that immortals had no name, but this was indeed the place of feather transformation. Whenever there were immortals, they would surely take this path.
Regardless, there were indeed ancient records stating that both the Taiyin and Taiyang ancient emperors had disappeared from here. Although there was no evidence, it was recognized by many people.
"Divine Spirit Ancient Scripture, moonlit night, Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff, this time period..."
If they didn't go and see, Ye Fan and the others simply couldn't let it go. However, it conflicted with the time for attacking the Eight Scenery Palace. This was a frustrating choice.
"Regardless, let's go to Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff first. We'll rush to the Eight Scenery Palace afterward. If we really can't make it, we'll wait until next moonlit night."
The sea was boundless, with billions of hectares of blue waves. Tides rose and fell, vast and limitless.
No matter how powerful a person was, when facing such a scene, they would sincerely feel their own insignificance. Compared to the magnificent sea, compared to the vast universe, an individual was truly negligible.
"Every time this happens, it makes me feel powerless. No matter how many beauties there are, they can't fill up all this water." Li Tian said.
"Uncle, do lechers only have beauties in their eyes? I really don't want to be one." Tongtong interjected at the right moment.
"Go, go somewhere cool and stay there."
"What are honor, gain, and loss? What are bold words and grand deeds? What does an individual's everything amount to? Facing this vast ocean, one can feel their chest expand and forget everything." Yan Yixi said.
On the blue sea, a dreamlike figure walked on the waves. Seen from afar, she was radiant like the sun rising with morning clouds. Examined up close, she was brilliant like a lotus emerging from clear ripples.
A slender figure, a perfect posture, flowing beautiful hair, skin white like mutton-fat jade—her whole person shimmered with crystalline luster. On her clean, oval face, her pupils were like black gems. Her entire being contained divine beauty within, drifting lightly.
As Ye Fan had arranged, Yi Qingwu arrived. Tonight, there would most likely be a great battle, and there might also be a great opportunity, after all, it involved the Divine Spirit Ancient Scripture.
The sea breeze blew, and the sky gradually darkened. When the last fragments of gold on the sparkling sea surface disappeared, the setting sun was completely gone.
Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff stood on the coast. It was not particularly tall, but in the night, it appeared majestic and towering, like an ancient divine mountain peak standing, suppressing the vast Eastern Sea.
Ye Fan and the others had already hidden themselves, quietly waiting to see what would happen here.
Time passed. The bright moon hung high, a silver disc scattering large swaths of soft white light. The sea seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, hazy and pure white.
Feather Transformation Immortal Cliff revealed its extraordinariness. Like a crystalline immortal platform, it drew in the essence of heaven and earth, resonating with the countless stars in the sky, making people mistakenly believe that standing on it, they could truly transform into feathers and ascend.
On this moonlit night, all sounds were silent. Even the blue sea seemed still, like a huge mirror reflecting the light of the jade disc in the sky.
"They're here!" Li Tian said softly.
In the distant sky, eighteen warships flew like eighteen clouds, blocking the moonlight and casting large shadows on the ground, making people feel oppressed.
"These are the warships of the Human King Hall. This is the kind of display only reserved for their most esteemed several figures when they travel." Yi Qingwu's voice had a magnetic quality, stirring the heart, like a heavenly sound.
On the other side, Yan Yixi also whispered, "More people have arrived."
The boundless blue sea was like a huge gem, without a single ripple, shimmering with the bright moonlight. At this moment, a magnificent ancient Daoist temple was flying over it, coming silently.
"This is the Ancient Longevity Daoist Temple of the Nether Ridge. This ancient building has stood there for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, always imperishable. I never thought it would uproot itself and come here today." Yi Qingwu murmured.
The several people were all startled. This ancient Daoist sect was very low-key, with only a few people in each generation, but each one was extremely powerful, like the current Sanque Daoist, unfathomably deep.
Clearly, the Human King Hall and the Longevity Daoist Temple were going to exchange the Divine Spirit Ancient Scripture. This time, they were making such a grand show, they must be serious, unlike the previous few times when things fizzled out!
The ancient scripture left behind by the Divine Spirit was only one page, torn into upper and lower halves, extremely mysterious. It had been passed down since ancient times, and who knows how many people's hearts it had moved.
The legend about it was only two words: Immortal.
It was precisely for this reason that it was revered as an immortal scripture. According to legend, if one obtained the complete page of the ancient scripture and cultivated it successfully, it would be hard to die!
"On a moonlit night, a great calamity is destined. If you can know about it, others will surely perceive it as well. Several greatly accomplished kings who were suspected to have entered nirvana will probably 'come back to life'..." Yi Qingwu sighed softly.
