Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 126: Immense Fortune
Fu Xian took out the new inspirations.
He observed them as he did so, discerning their ability and seeing how far he could use them.
"Imperial Dragon Seal has a certain authority over Qi. Immortal Phoenix Edict can bless people with fortune..."
These were their core abilities, but he realised something in just a moment.
"Because I can’t see Qi, I can’t fully use the ability of the Dragon Seal. But I can instead use the seal to perceive Qi. Although it’s a general perception and I can’t see much, it’s a lot better than not being able to see!"
He then looked at the edict, "The same issue applies here. Because I can’t gather my fortune actively, this edict instead transforms into a fortune gathering and stabilising function. Blessing and such is no longer possible, or rather, I can’t bless anyone besides myself, nor can I gather the fortune of an area. I can mostly only gather the fortune of myself."
It changed his fortune from loosely moving to be right on him. It was like changing from an air tank to a glass tank. The air tank could loosely fly away, but the glass tank would keep everything closed and you could fill it at all times.
"Activate," he said as he looked at the edict.
Golden specks flew from his body –
It was his inherent fortune as a third grade cultivator.
But when he thought that was all, he suddenly saw a golden pillar rise from his body!
It rose from the depths and entered the edict like an endless stream.
The edict grew in the air to be several metres tall before it finally stopped.
"Where does this come from?" he asked in confusion.
He could guess it was his previous life’s fortune to a part, but most of that fortune should have been used when he reincarnated.
So, what was it?
Just then, he saw the talisman screen appear in his vision.
He saw three people:
Mu Yan, Teigu and the Planting Clone.
Golden threads moved in their bodies, connecting with an invisible matter hidden from their eyes.
Teigu and the other didn’t feel anything.
But Mu Yan, the most sensitive to fortune, felt a weird sensation. He felt as if his fortune had been pulled for a second.
Yet right after the pull, he didn’t feel like his fortune fell but that his fortune rose instead!
His fortune doubled just like that!
It was like a gift out of nowhere!
Looking at this, Fu Xian spread his thoughts and made him slowly calm down and not question it.
He then looked at the edict in front of him, "So ’my’ fortune is not only that of me but also that of the clones I send out?
And it seems that instead of splitting the fortune, instead it formed a large pool from the fortune of all my clones, right?
Does this mean that, every fortune my clones have, I will also be able to have?
It’s just that... when one uses the fortune in the pool, then it’s like everyone using a bit of their fortune."
With his comprehension, he was instantly able to understand and guess several things.
His own fortune was only the second largest of the group.
Teigu’s fortune was quite good, a third of his. The planter’s fortune was rather low.
But Mu Yan’s fortune!
Only now did Fu Xian realise why the Royal Path was an independent path even though it seemed like it only focused on ruling, having no singular power.
Fortune!
They, those walking the Royal Path, gathered the fortune of all those around them.
It was like the whole free flowing fortune around them gathered automatically.
"What happens when he takes over the Stone Lotus County then?"
The fortune of a whole county. Not just the free flowing fortune, but everyone who lived in the county gave a part of their fortune to that county.
Not just mortals and lower cultivators –
Even Origin Light and Spiritual Core cultivators!
A single percent of their fortune would boost it greatly!
Just the free flowing fortune entering Mu Yan’s body was already over double the amount of Fu Xian!
"How can a Foundation Building cultivator hold such a huge amount of fortune? With this fortune he would attract countless misfortune."
Fortune and misfortune were an intertwined matter.
Immense fortune would attract the attention of higher cultivators. Such a situation might often result in misfortune.
"This is because of the cultivation art, right?
The Fortune Phoenix. It uses his immense fortune to manifest, giving him various benefits but also locking the fortune from attracting random opportunities.
That’s why the Royal Path is so stable.
They don’t want all the opportunities, they simply use the most foundational abilities of fortune: keep yourself safe, have an easier cultivation and many inspirations during comprehension.
It is this low use that allows them to truly take on this path."
With a look of shock, he suddenly realised...
Double the fortune, does this mean that his own talisman drawing will become easier?
He didn’t reject being lucky at all!
Then he looked at the seal.
With a thought, he used the seal on himself to inspect his Qi.
He felt like he was being observed for just a second.
"So I can’t use it on third stage cultivators?" he kept this in mind.
A second later, he saw his own Qi.
On the bottom of the seal, a vision appeared –
A huge golden tree, its canopy rising to the sky, its roots reaching into the depths.
It looked extremely beautiful, like a true showcase of immortality and fortune.
Fu Xian looked at the seal and saw that it didn’t respond further.
"So it’s my job to interpret these?
Then...
The golden colour means I have good fortune. The tree stands for..." he reached into his dantian and manifested his innate aspect.
On the frontside he saw the tree, it had many similarities to the golden tree!
"To think it can look so deeply! But with just this vision, most people would only be able to guess that I have an affinity for wood or trees, nothing more nothing less."
He nodded with relief.
Although higher cultivators might see better, it was still open for interpretation.
That’s why they say the job of a prophet is one truth and nine lies.
