With Liu Tianning causing a stir, Zhao Xing found the perfect opportunity to urge Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun to take flight.

Ji Ziyun appeared somewhat hesitant, "If we leave now, we’ll have to give up the territory we’ve just acquired."

"Besides, my cousin and I have finally gathered this group of people..."

Xia Jing also felt reluctant to leave.

He had heard that the army training stage of the Flatland Great Battle was about to start again.

The group of people he had gathered now would be of great use later on.

The Princely Heir’s ambition was not small; he wanted to take this opportunity to become a Marquis!

"If it really doesn’t work out, you can return to Yang City to wait and see," Zhao Xing advised again for the sake of Xia Jing’s fate.

Even this additional piece of advice was not without great risk.

After much hesitation, Xia Jing said, "Then we’ll send someone back to gather information first."

Ji Ziyun said, "Qilin’er, you go back, I’ll stay here and hold the fort."

"Alright." Xia Jing looked at Zhao Xing’s expression but couldn’t discern anything, "Mr. Zhao, where can I find your true body in Yang City?"

"Eighteen locust and willow courtyard," Zhao Xing said, "I’m practicing and sparring with Long Xiao Chen Shijie there. If you come back to Yang City, you can find me, and tell us what you know, too."

Zhao Xing wanted to use this chance to delay Xia Jing’s departure a little longer.

That was all he could do.

"Great," Xia Jing laughed, "My days at Crimson Lake were quite thrilling; it will be good to chat about how I showed off my power when I get back!"

"Hahaha, we’ll be waiting."

...

July 30, July 31, August 1.

During these three days, Liu Tianning had been searching continuously.

At first, it was just over three thousand Dharma Bodies, but eventually, it increased to over nine thousand!

Liu Tianning could be seen in almost every area of Crimson Lake!

For a time, a large number of scouts poured into the Crimson Lake region.

They all wanted to see just what Liu Tianning was looking for.

Liu Tianning didn’t care about them; he just went on with his own actions.

August 2.

All of Liu Tianning’s Dharma Bodies were withdrawn.

Because he had found the place.

"~Escape~"

Liu Tianning escaped underground, and even in this redwood forest, there were many searching.

However, they all dared not approach the area where the Ten Thousand Skill Tower Ship was docked, fortunately, the redwood forest was vast, and the others searched elsewhere.

...

It was on this day, August 2, that Zhao Xing, who was at Huai Liu Courtyard, suddenly felt a jolt.

"Crack~" As he was descending the steps, his leg muscles suddenly twitched, and he violently smashed into a rock column in front of him.

The stone shattered, and Zhao Xing’s forehead reddened slightly.

"What’s wrong with you, how could you fall while walking?" Xia Jing had just finished sparring with Long Xiao and happened to witness this scene.

"It’s nothing, probably because I’m too tired from training and wasn’t being careful," Zhao Xing waved it off and went straight to his room.

No sooner had he sat down than the house began to shake, the planks of the bed broke, and sharp spines stabbed into Zhao Xing.

Looking at the spines embedded in his body, Zhao Xing fell silent.

His bad luck had begun.

He opened the panel to check.

As expected, the level of his luck had changed.

[Luck: Extension Three (Temporary)]

"The luck of Extension Five dropped straight to Extension Three."

Zhao Xing sighed. Despite all his caution and discretion, and his methods being exceedingly secretive, he ultimately was affected!

"The drop from Extension Five to Extension Three proves that I managed to change someone else’s fate—Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, perhaps even Xia Jing, Liu Tianning..."

"The path of luck, profound and unfathomable. Perhaps the Ten Days Apparition isn’t the doing of Xuantian Sect; Xuantian Sect merely gave it a push."

"The decline in my luck is not caused by the Xuantian Sect and the court, but by... Ten Suns Cave Heaven."

"The Ten Days Apparition should have happened; who knows how many were supposed to die in this disaster, but I interfered with fate, equivalent to defying the Heavenly Tao of Grotto Heaven... now, the backlash has come."

Zhao Xing had a realization.

For the next while, he figured he would become very unlucky!

"The Heavenly Fate Realm, the Fate Palace Realm, can also foresee their own futures, even able to change the fate of others."

"But they rarely do so because intervening costs them a price."

"The court is also very cautious about promoting those whose fate is beset with misfortunes and whose luck is weak."

"For someone to move from Fourth-rank to Third-rank, they would even dispatch a ’Fate Officer’ to observe the official."

"If one with a thin fate and weak luck is forcibly promoted, that is acting against Heaven’s will."

"The balance of luck must be maintained, and one cannot massively perform acts against Heaven; if the number is small and the realm low, it might still be fine, but if the number is large and the realm high, especially in the case of high-grade promotions, caution is paramount."

"Hence throughout history, many people with great achievements had difficulty being granted titles."

Having practiced the Five-Finger Destiny and briefly merged with the spirit of Grotto Heaven in the Heavenly Gate, Zhao Xing closed his eyes and reminisced about everything, deepening his understanding of the ways of destiny and divination.

"Now that I’ve started to have bad luck, it certainly means that Chen Shijie must have survived."

"Old Chen, your investment wasn’t wasted; I racked up some karma by eating a few pears in Gucheng, and now I’m bearing the brunt for you," Zhao Xing reflected in his dreams.

...

In the following days, Zhao Xing’s bad luck gradually increased.

Getting choked while eating, getting food stuck between his teeth when drinking cold water, and tripping while walking were not even worth mentioning.

A more serious matter was that his comprehension of the world became vague and unclear, as if fog had appeared on the glass.

"I’ve been covered with the ’Barrier of Knowledge and Vision,’ not only stagnating in cultivation, but even my spell power can’t be fully displayed."

"If I had to fight now, it’s definitely bad timing."

Zhao Xing sighed again.

At this point, his Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man avatar had collapsed.
