Chapter 624 – Stolen Luck
Chapter 624 – Stolen Luck
Hearing Master Sheng mention the reason for the disappearance of the aura, Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred.
She resisted the urge to ask further questions and quietly waited for the following.
Sheng Qingyun’s fingers moved slightly, urging out a fire snake towards the ice, and seeing the ice continue to melt under the tongues of fire, she nodded in satisfaction and continued.
“Originally, you were in seclusion, and I was still thinking about whether or not to go find you, but I didn’t expect that at this time, you actually came out of seclusion.
Perhaps, it really is the will of heaven.”
She lamented and suddenly asked, “Do you know what great fortune is?”
“Great Fortune?”
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment, not quite sure.
“I only know that every race is blessed with great fortune to prosper for a long time, even the most common but low level demonic beasts are blessed with great fortune.
Once the race is exterminated, the great fortune will be stripped away.”
Sheng Qingyun nodded, “You’ve made a good point, but it’s not comprehensive enough. Fortune is what all things bear, not only do races have great fortune, the entire Northwest Continent and even the Qiankun Realm, all have their great fortune.”
Hearing this, Xu Chuniang’s heart gave birth to an astonishing conjecture.
“Could it be that the disappearance of the aura is related to the Northwest Continent’s great fortune?”
“Yes. In fact, someone had made such a conjecture a thousand years ago, but at that time, the loss of aura was not obvious, and the claim was unanimously refuted by others.”
At first, Sheng Qingyun was also unwilling to believe that it was the loss of the Great Luck that had led to the diminishing of the aura.
But as the loss of aura became more and more severe, it was no longer possible for her to disbelieve it.
“For over two thousand years, a force has been stealing the Northwest Continent’s great fortune.
At first this force was very weak and the stealing was very inconspicuous, as this force continued to grow, it stole more and more, and this is the real reason why the aura disappeared.”
Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a look of shock, “Stealing for over two thousand years, how high must the other party’s cultivation be? It shouldn’t have surpassed the God Transformation Stage, right?”
“Not without possibility.”
Sheng Qingyun looked grave, “However, even a higher cultivation, limited by the laws of heaven and earth, can only exert the strength of a late Transformation Spirit stage in the Qian Luo Realm.
But not to mention the late Harmonized God stage, even the early Harmonized God stage can’t be dealt with with the Northwest Continent’s current strength.”
“Late Transformation God stage ……”
Xu Chuniang’s heart tightened as the figure of Emperor Jiao surfaced in her mind.
That kind of powerful force was simply not something that the current her could fight against.
She frowned tightly, “For the sake of his own cultivation, he went so far as to steal the great fortune of the entire Northwest Continent, causing the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of living beings to be disregarded.
Just what kind of person is it that can do something so heartless?”
Sheng Qingyun shook her head, “Perhaps the other party is not human at all? Or perhaps, it came from other small thousand worlds and wouldn’t care about the deaths of the beings in the Qian Luo Realm at all.”
These words seemed like a bolt of lightning that struck Xu Chuniang’s heart, and several seemingly unrelated events surfaced in her mind one by one.
The pseudo realm that is so large as to be boundless, the Evil Eye Beast that possesses late stage Harmonized God cultivation and has to fall into a deep sleep every so often, and those cultivators and mortals that have been preyed upon by the Evil Eye Beast ……
While the Evil Eye Beast had long been hidden in the Outer Heaven, the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Qian Luo Realm could not fall on it.
She informed Master Sheng of the speculation in her heart, “I suspect that the one who did all of this is none other than the Evil Eye Beast ……”
After hearing her account, Sheng Qingyun shook his head.
“I projected after consulting ancient texts that the Great Luck is most likely hidden in the Western Region’s 100,000 mountains.
According to you, the Evil Eye Beast is far away in the Heavenly Beyond Heaven, and with such a distance between them, it is simply impossible for it to steal the Great Luck.”
Not the Evil Eye Beast?
Xu Chuniang’s brows furrowed slightly, “If it’s not it, who could it be?”
“This is unknown, the method of stealing luck, must be physically present to cast the spell, so far apart, unless it is proficient in the art of incarnation ……”
Xu Chuniang’s brows jerked, the Evil Eye Beast happened to be proficient in this technique!
Back in the False Realm, she had not only seen the Evil Eye Beast’s three YuanYing incarnations, but had even fought with them a few times.
After Sheng Qingyun learned of this, she also realized that this Evil Eye Beast was not simple. “Most likely, the Evil Eye Beast’s avatars are far more than just three, and the one that stayed in the Western Realm to steal the Great Luck is not its original body, but its avatars!”
In that case, it made sense.
Stealing great fortune was bound to be countered.
The Evil Eye Beast’s main body was hidden in the Outer Heaven precisely to avoid the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Qian Luo Realm.
Sheng Qingyun pondered for a moment, a look of gravity on his face.
“The Evil Eye Beast possesses the cultivation of a Transformation God and has been smuggling for more than two thousand years, and its incarnation, its strength is not to be underestimated.
This time, when we travel to the Western Region’s Great Mountain, I will go with you.”
Xu Chuniang thought briefly, but shook her head.
“There needs to be someone in the sect to sit in on it, it’s better for me to go alone.”
Sheng Qingyun knew that this was the best arrangement, and with a light sigh, she did not insist any longer, taking out a cloak from her storage space and gently shaking it open.
“I know that your strength is outstanding, but going to the Western Regions this time, the future is uncertain.
This item is called the Heavenly Lack, it is a fourth-order treasure weapon, not only can it conceal your body, but it can also change your divine sense and appearance, perhaps you have a use for it.”
Xu Chuniang hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.
The cloak was made of some unknown substance, and held in her hand as if it were nothing.
Sheng Qingyun patted her shoulder, ”Be sure to come back alive, the old blood baby monster is not dead, the clan still needs you.
Even if you don’t find the place of great fortune, it doesn’t matter.”
Xu Chuniang put away her cloak and nodded vigorously.
“Before I leave, I’ll set up the Clan Protection Formation, and even if the Blood Infant Elder Monster comes, I’ll tell him to return in defeat!”
“When you say that, it makes me look forward to it somewhat.”
Sheng Qingyun’s eyes lit up, she had suffered a lot under the hands of the Blood Infant Old Monster.
Being able to make him unhappy was naturally the best.
“I have some guesses about where the Great Lucky Land is.”
Sheng Qingyun took out a roll of dated maps and spread them out, pointing to several places on the map.
“Here, here, and here, these places were all of great importance in the ancient times, and then with the changes in the environment of the heavens and earth, the Ancient Kunlun disappeared, and these places were gradually forgotten.
I heard that the ancestor of our Easy Sect came out from here.”
“Ancient Kunlun, is it the legendary Kunlun Immortal Mountain?”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred slightly, when she was overseas, she had heard the name of Kunlun mentioned more than once.
“Not bad, but the so-called Kunlun Immortal Mountain is actually just a mountain with a more abundant spiritual qi, and it disappeared a long time ago.”
After Sheng Qingyun finished speaking, he topologized a map and gave it to Xu Chuniang.
“This map is a lone copy, or it was passed down from my master ancestor, it’s the only one, so I won’t give it to you.”
Xu Chuniang took the jade slip and put it away, solemnly saying.
“Thank you Master Sheng, I will definitely return safely.”
Sheng Qingyun sighed inwardly, privately, she didn’t want Xu Chuniang to make this trip.
But the appearance of the heaven and earth visions was the Qian Luo Realm issuing its final warning.
If this matter continued to be left unchecked, no one would be able to bear the consequences.
Let’s hope that everything goes well on this trip.
