Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 337 - 201. The Celestial Master Seal shines again
After blasting the head of the Elder Gu from Gepo Mountain’s lineage, Lei Jun confirmed that there were no other enemies in the vicinity. Then he roughly cleaned up the scene and, not lingering, left the now utterly ravaged Ox Soul Mountain.
That master and disciple from Mount Shu, Lei Jun did not intend to contact them.
On a whim, he had no desire to form any ties. In comparison, keeping his whereabouts secret better matched his current needs.
Lei Jun immediately left the area around the Yu River.
At the same time, he tried again to contact his own master, Yuan Mobai, but still received no response.
Lei Jun frowned slightly, pondering how he ought to seek him out.
According to the lot, there would likely be trouble at Ox Soul Mountain come sunrise.
If referenced as a moderately unlucky lot rather than the worst lot, then if due to human calamity, it was most likely an adversary with Seventh Heavenly Layer cultivation.
Lei Jun’s Sheltering Spirit Veil had been used up in one go, so the Seventh Heavenly Layer opponent now posed a renewed threat to him, though there was still hope.
*In such circumstances, Yuan Mobai should have been able to cope as well. Now that he had lost contact, was there some other reason?*
After considering for a moment, Lei Jun temporarily set aside his worry for his master.
*If he wanted to do more, he needed to acquire more means himself.*
Lei Jun used the Breathing Soil Banner to hide his own tracks, casting an amber Spirit Light that generated earth and stone, making him seem to merge into the mountains of the Southern Wildernes. This also greatly sealed off his Spiritual Energy from leaking.
Then, Lei Jun took out that stream of dazzling, dreamlike light.
"This Counterflow Essence seemed to dissolve the effects of certain witchcraft schools to a degree," Lei Jun quickly realized in his heart.
Chen Yi’s Witch Suppressing Stone had much the same function. Thus, it had temporarily concealed the aura of Blood River cultivation on him, and even covered most of his foundation along with it.
It seemed that Chen Yi himself truly did not identify as a disciple of Blood River. Right now, he was out running solo as a loose cultivator, cultivating on his own, fighting on his own, searching for his own magical treasures and opportunities.
He had taken a liking to the Ox Soul Ravine’s treasure, the Heavenly Evil Bone, and so schemed to obtain it through Rain Ravine.
Only, he never imagined that the player would meet a boss.
The Elder Gu from Gepo Mountain was eager to find someone to take the blame, so he handed over the Rain Ravine Master’s position to Chen Yi and supported him to the top.
Yet Elder Gu and the opposite Ox Soul Ravine’s Sect Master, Liu Xun, had already pledged to Blood River.
They simply never expected that Chen Yi would be so formidable, carrying the Witch Suppressing Stone, and thus managed to escape.
The perfectly neutral lot mentioned the Fifth Grade Opportunity before midnight; that was Liu Xun’s Heavenly Evil Bone.
Only when Chen Yi was schemed against by Liu Xun and Elder Gu, and had to use the Witch Suppressing Stone to break away, did the fusion of the Witch Suppressing Stone and Heavenly Evil Bone birth the Counterflow Essence.
The best lot emphasized the timing around midnight; the difference should lie here.
The Counterflow Essence could dissolve and break some witchcraft schools—it certainly was useful, but to call it a Third Grade expandable opportunity, it naturally fell short.
The crux lay in those four words: "Treasured Heavy Light."
It lay within the Celestial Master Seal!
Lei Jun settled his mind and breathed for a while, his physical and mental state reaching the peak.
Then, he guided the Counterflow Essence into his body, refining it with his own mana.
The stream of light, as real as it was illusory, seemed at that moment to turn wholly phantom, then, under Lei Jun’s control, it flowed into the depths of his Spiritual Soul.
It touched the Celestial Master Seal.
The Celestial Master Seal trembled lightly at once.
At that moment, the square White Jade Great Seal flashed with purple, gold, and azure light.
But as the light flickered, the surface of the Great Seal seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow.
When that shadow came into contact with the brilliance of the Counterflow Essence, it finally changed, revealing a clearer, more detailed form.
It resembled ancient script of the highest antiquity.
It was as if someone was performing a ritual.
Like the inheritance of an ancient civilization.
Yet it exuded a wild, primal aura.
It did not seem evil, but struck and shook one’s mind and Spiritual Soul.
This was not the legacy of a single Witchcraft Tradition, but appeared as a complete integration of the Witchcraft Orthodox.
Lei Jun steadied his spirit, controlling the Counterflow Essence to make contact.
Then that ancient and arcane script began, suddenly, to show signs of missing fragments.
Under the wash of the Counterflow Essence, the script seemed to lose a corner.
The Celestial Master Seal trembled again.
On the White Jade Great Seal, many Tao Containments seemed to wake from their slumber.
However, the Counterflow Essence was extremely limited, and was quickly consumed.
The already fragmented, bizarre script stopped its process of breaking up and dispersing.
Without the wash of Counterflow Essence, those ancient letters showed signs and tendencies of turning back into shadow.
Luckily, the Celestial Master Seal, previously slumbering, at last awakened. Purple, gold, and azure light shone together, stabilizing the transformation of the Witchcraft Ancient Script.
The two sides seemed to be locked in a temporary stalemate and tug-of-war.
*But after reviewing the lots earlier, Lei Jun was certain that this best lot should allow the Celestial Master Seal to fully awaken instead of carrying on with such recurrence.*
So, after acquiring the Counterflow Essence, Lei Jun carefully examined the Spiritual Objects currently in his possession.
Now, focusing his mind, he began to activate the shadow aligned with the Celestial Book.
As the Celestial Master Seal and the Witchcraft Ancient Script wrestled, that shadow latched onto the ancient script.
The script itself was also tending toward shadow, but at this moment, it halted abruptly.
Now, as purple, gold, and azure rays from the White Jade Great Seal illuminated it again, the script instantly began to dissolve slowly once more. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Seeing this, Lei Jun finally relaxed completely.
He watched as the Witchcraft Ancient Script faded away bit by bit. Moved in his heart, he immediately tried to preserve some of the profound artistic conception contained in the script, to savor and study slowly in the future.
*Though the Celestial Master Seal had slept and not been sealed, for the script to take effect within it, the Witchcraft Ancient Script truly had extraordinary properties.*
*For the Celestial Master Seal to fall silent, it must have been the joint result of the Witchcraft Ancient Script and the magical treasure’s original master, Li Cangting, working together in years past.*
