Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 418 - 234. Yuan Mobai Emerges from Seclusion

Is the cosmic starry sky here on the Dark Side of Celestial Book strikingly similar yet opposite to that of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter...? Lei Jun watched the scene before him thoughtfully.

It was like the shadow under the sunlight.

Lei Jun found that his current perspective was not like being within a specific star in the universe of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter.

In the universe of the Dark Side of Celestial Book, he held a more transcendent viewpoint, as if he were the master of this universe.

Although he hadn’t fully refined the Dark Side of Celestial Book due to his current Cultivation Realm, his authority here was clearly higher than that in the starry sky of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter.

As Lei Jun’s thoughts moved, a large amount of ink-like black "starlight" gathered before his eyes.

Although the scene before him was a vast expanse of white, in Lei Jun’s perception, it was as if a clear, sunny sky had suddenly experienced something akin to a solar eclipse. The sunlight vanished, plunging the world into darkness in an instant, as if the entire world had been devoured by darkness.

And in this vast, white expanse of the Celestial Book’s Dark Universe, a pitch-black "sun" appeared.

It was the very opposite of the Taiyang Riyao from both the real world and the universe of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter.

As the pitch-black "Great Sun" condensed, everything seemed to retract inward; its dark radiance no longer diffused outward.

The "Black Sun" that formed appeared to be constantly devoured by the surrounding vast whiteness.

In the end, the blackness disappeared, leaving only an empty expanse of pale white.

But Lei Jun knew that the "Star" was still there.

It was just undergoing an "eclipse."

Hidden Luminaries of Shadow... Luo Hou. Lei Jun understood.

In the universe of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter, seven leading luminaries had been established.

Here, in the starry sky of the Celestial Book’s Dark Universe, the Hidden Luminaries of Shadow emerged.

However, for now, there was only Luo Hou.

After pondering for another moment, Lei Jun did not invoke any more Hidden Luminaries of Shadow.

It seems this is indeed related to my Cultivation Realm. As my Cultivation Realm increases, more Hidden Luminaries of Shadow may be born here... Lei Jun realized.

However, I still can’t be sure: does each of the seven leading luminaries correspond to a Hidden Luminary of Shadow? Or, following the division of the Seven Governors and Four Extras, will the Celestial Book’s Dark Universe ultimately have Luo Hou, Ji Du, Yue Bo, and Purple Qi as the four Hidden Luminaries of Shadow?

With Lei Jun’s current Comprehension, after a brief period of research, many things about this Celestial Book’s Dark Universe had become clear to him.

He could now transfer Luo Hou, this Hidden Luminary of Shadow, to someone else.

It was as if a page from the Dark Side of Celestial Book had also detached.

The authority contained within was inferior to that of the Dark Side of Celestial Book itself, but it was superior to the shadow that had previously troubled Zhang Yuan.

Since Lei Jun had already taken control of the Dark Side of Celestial Book, giving such a page from the Dark Side of Celestial Book to someone else would at least not easily suppress the other person’s Spiritual Soul.

And the dominion over this peculiar cosmic starry sky remained with Lei Jun.

Comparing his current control over the Dark Side of Celestial Book with the situation in the universe of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter, many things began to become clear to Lei Jun.

At this moment, he was at least 80% sure that the Empress... or to be more precise, Taiyang Riyao, was most likely feigning ignorance.

The general outline of the situation was that she still retained at least half of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter.

The other half of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter had been divided and scattered into seven parts, forming seven volumes, or rather, seven pages.

While possessing half of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter, Taiyang Riyao also managed to obtain a page, Heavenly Book·One.

Considering Shen Qubing’s page, Heavenly Book·Six, which had once narrowly missed Xu Yuanzhen, it seemed that who obtained which page of the Heavenly Book was not prearranged.

From this, it appeared that although Taiyang Riyao retained half of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter, the dispersal of the other half into seven scattered parts was likely not her deliberate arrangement.

However, Taiyang Riyao most likely knew the identities of the current owners of the other six pages of the Heavenly Book but simply chose not to reclaim them.

On one hand, it was a case of a misstep turned into an opportunity, spreading a hidden net.

On the other hand, as Lei Jun and the others studied their respective pages of the Heavenly Book, it would induce feedback from the dispersed Heavenly Book, tracing back to Taiyang Riyao, who controlled the remaining half of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter and presided over that cosmic expanse.

Regardless, she’s the true master of acting.

Lei Jun couldn’t help but think of some game administrators in his past life, whose authority was even greater than that of group owners on social media platforms.

...Annoying power-abusers.

However, wait a minute.

Lei Jun scanned the cosmic starry sky of the Celestial Book’s Dark Universe before him again.

Being a power-abuser... doesn’t seem so bad after all...

Although this "group" of mine is still empty for now.

Lei Jun’s consciousness left the Dark Side of Celestial Book.

「In the real world.」

He was seated cross-legged.

It appeared there were still differences between the Dark Side of Celestial Book and the Heavenly Book Main Chapter.

The scattered pages of the Heavenly Book were not so choosy about their owners.

Yet a dispersed page from the Dark Side of Celestial Book could only be deeply contemplated and refined by a few individuals. For others, though it wouldn’t suppress or affect their Spiritual Soul, possession was useless, its presence merely ornamental.

Lei Jun’s initial hypothesis was that although the Dark Side of Celestial Book and the Heavenly Book Main Chapter were two sides of the same coin, the Dark Side interpreted the principles of heaven and earth from a negative perspective. To some extent, this was contrary to worldly cultivation practices and thus unsuitable for the vast majority of people; only a few individuals could resonate with it.

By dispersing such pages from the Dark Side of Celestial Book and allowing others to refine and comprehend them, Lei Jun could also receive feedback beneficial to his own cultivation.

Finding them one by one would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Recalling his previous experience of obtaining Heavenly Book·Three, Lei Jun couldn’t help but smile.

I’ll mimic that approach and also use the flow of earth veins when the time comes. We’ll see if I can encounter someone destined for it.

But not now.

Lei Jun anticipated trying it after his cultivation reached the Upper Three Heavens.
