Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 346 - 205. A burst of good fortune with continuous excellent draws!
"Serene Insight, huh..." Lei Jun opened his eyes and exhaled softly, then got up inside the True One Altar.
He blinked, spiritual essence hidden deep within, his gaze lively yet showing no obvious oddity.
But as Lei Jun’s eyes swept across the myriad Dao Patterns appearing on the second layer of the altar, countless Tao Containment formed in his chest, and in that instant, he already grasped many hidden truths.
Combining thoughts from his previous cultivation, sparks of inspiration burst in his mind at this moment.
*A shame the timing and place weren’t right; I’ll ponder them slowly in the future...* Lei Jun restrained his thoughts, left the True One Altar, and exited the Cave Heaven, returning to the outside world.
As expected, he reappeared in the same spot.
Yuan Mobai waited calmly, smiling as he watched Lei Jun return before him, "Did you just enter the True One Altar Cave Heaven with your body and flesh together?"
Lei Jun, "Yes, ever since the Celestial Master Seal revived, I could enter the True One Altar Cave Heaven that derives from it, even with my physical body. However, I haven’t tried bringing others in with me."
Yuan Mobai, "In the past, the Celestial Master Seal could bring several people in for a short time, but firstly, at that time the seal hadn’t merged with anyone’s Spiritual Soul, and secondly, it was truly refined and controlled by Upper Three Heavens cultivators; things are indeed different from your current situation."
Lei Jun asked Yuan Mobai to try, but it didn’t work.
So it seemed, for now, only he alone could bring his true body into the True One Altar Cave Heaven.
"I’d guess once I reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer realm, after my Spiritual Soul separated from the magical treasure, I would manage it like before," Lei Jun said, "Fortunately, just as you said, Master, moving forward step by step, letting things happen naturally is best."
Yuan Mobai nodded with a smile, "That’s certainly the best way."
He continued, "Whatever the case, now that the Celestial Master Seal is secure, Chongyun always acts prudently. As long as you keep it secret, I don’t think there’ll be major trouble. Now, the only problem left is just the Celestial Master Robe."
"I recall you mentioned earlier, you’d found clues about the Celestial Master Robe?" Lei Jun asked out of curiosity.
Yuan Mobai, "There are indeed signs, but if you want hard evidence, we’ll still need some luck as we move forward.
There’s two places in the Southern Wildernes, Star Dragon Abyss and Qihong Mountain. Let’s go have a look."
Lei Jun had been quietly listening, when suddenly a glowing orb flashed in his mind, and words appeared:
[Lost in the mulberry, gained in the east, thousand sails pass the wrecked boat, ten thousand trees flourish before the sick one.]
Then three lots of fate burst forth, and when Lei Jun read the first one, he was stunned.
He recovered, steadied himself, and finished reading all three lots.
[The best lot: Within the next three days, go to Star Dragon Abyss. There’s a chance to gain one Third-Rank Opportunity, no risk nor negative consequences, great fortune!]
[Neutral lot: Within the next three days, go to Qihong Mountain. Nothing gained, nothing lost, steady fate.]
[Neutral lot: Within the next three days, go to Nangu Valley Plain. Chance to get one Sixth-Rank Opportunity, but may face some risk. Steady fate.]
Another best lot, again?!
This really was something rare.
The last time he got the Counterflow Essence from Ox Soul Mountain and revived the Celestial Master Seal, it was all thanks to the best lot, but now, trying to avoid misfortune and seek fortune once again, he actually drew another best lot!
*Two rounds of fortune-telling, and each time the luckiest path turned out the best lot; Lei Jun almost felt too lucky to be real.*
*Is this some damned death row meal, or did I just hit the jackpot for once?*
Lei Jun held back his joy and calmly examined the lots.
No question about it when your luck explodes; you must not waste it. He was definitely going to choose the path indicated by the best lot, but as for specifics, Lei Jun needed to work them out.
Star Dragon Abyss, that place was notoriously remote even in the Southern Wildernes. Before Yuan Mobai mentioned it, Lei Jun hadn’t even heard of it.
But according to the best lot, there shouldn’t be much danger for this journey.
"Star Dragon Abyss and Qihong Mountain... Master, what do you think?" Lei Jun asked first.
Yuan Mobai, "According to your account, word of your arrival in the Southern Wildernes can’t be kept secret anymore. Even aside from the Celestial Master Seal’s involvement, someone may be tracking you, so I lean towards us traveling together.
Regarding Star Dragon Abyss and Qihong Mountain, I would prefer heading to Qihong Mountain first. The odds are better, and the swirl of the rainbow illusions would directly shape the mountain’s formation and earth veins. From what I know, the rainbow persists only for the next few days; any later might be too late."
Lei Jun wasn’t informed about Star Dragon Abyss, but he always had loyal friends willing to take the hit and serve as cover.
"Master, I don’t know the details either, but awhile back I received a relevant tip from the starry void in the Celestial Book, and someone mentioned the name Star Dragon Abyss," Lei Jun said.
"Oh?" Yuan Mobai asked, "What’s the story?"
Lei Jun, "The message wasn’t about the robe, but about the Yellow Sky Sect, mentioning disciples of that sect were active around Star Dragon Abyss in the Southern Wildernes."
Yuan Mobai heard this and mused silently.
The Celestial Master Mansion was said to have its vitality severely damaged, repeatedly suffering heavy losses, but honestly, the Yellow Sky Sect hadn’t fared much better—after so many setbacks, their top experts were just as scarce.
Chiefly because Sect Leader Taoist Taiping had been in seclusion for years, so only Qi Shuo and a handful of others struggled to keep things going.
Under such circumstances, it was clear that very few things could draw Yellow Sky Sect members thousands of miles away to the Southern Wildernes Lands.
They didn’t know that the Celestial Master Seal had returned to the Celestial Master Mansion. In this case, there could only be two treasures at stake—the Celestial Master Seal or the Celestial Master Robe.
