Chapter 2090: Chapter 7: Scheming (Part 2)

"Both Zuo Qiyu, Jin Yan and I practice the Grassman Skill together, does that mean the path is blocked?"

Wei Tianchen looked at him, "You’ve seen my notes in the Book Collection Pavilion. At the time, I was just speculating that when Gu Tianyang created this method, he might have also considered avoiding misfortune through fortune."

"As for the specific details, Gu Tianyang has passed away after all, and I have never cultivated this method, so I’m not entirely sure."

Zhao Xing fell into deep thought.

Gu Tianyang was the brother of the Guluo River, both of them descendants of the Heavenly God ’Gu Xiao’.

Gu Xiao’s name was heard when he first entered the Yuanhai Ancient Country, but was later forgotten.

Furthermore, Gu Xiao appeared in Wang Tianzhi’s records!

He mentioned that a ’Xuanhuang Divine Sect’ had emerged in the Xuanhuang Realm. It seemed to be a modified version of the Xuantian Sect (sect version).

At the time, Wang Tianzhi was quite puzzled because the Heavenly Time Sect, also known as Xuantian Sect (Academy version), universally honored Cloud Sky Dao as their forefather.

"You possess the Qi Observation Method; what clues have you discovered?" Wei Tianchen’s question interrupted Zhao Xing’s contemplation.

"I suspect this is a bone of a God of Fortune." Zhao Xing moved his index finger slightly.

"No wonder..." Wei Tianchen suddenly realized.

The Path of Destiny follows a law—when in the same situation, those with higher fortune succeed, while those with lower fortune suffer.

Of course, for strong individuals like Wei Tianchen, their innate fortune level isn’t low, ensuring a minimum degree of misfortune.

This explains why he experienced three minor mental deviations over seven years, with only a localized bone marrow poison flare-up, without affecting the whole body, requiring only to discard and regenerate anew.

Initially, Zhao Xing asked if Wei Tianchen had been somewhere before experiencing mental deviation. It was Wei Tianchen who mistakenly entered the territory of a Free God’s fortune.

"That Fortune God might be dead, or perhaps because you left quickly, the impact was not magnified."

"I worried for your safety upon seeing the bone, so I came immediately to find you."

Wei Tianchen clapped, "You’ve tied it together. Tian Ningzi, you are truly a talent."

Zhao Xing was speechless; this old man’s mistrust was at an extreme level.

The Yuanhai Ancient Country deceived him once; could it have created a psychological shadow?

Wei Tianchen gestured with a finger, and the Enlightenment Golden Ring detached from Zhao Xing’s head, shrinking into a ring and worn on his hand.

"Eh? What does that mean..." Zhao Xing wondered, touching his head in confusion.

Was Wei Tianchen genuinely moved?

"The Nine Yin River space is chaotic; I might not be able to account for you. If we are far apart in space, the Enlightenment Golden Ring may explode, not conducive for exploration," Wei Tianchen explained.

Previously it didn’t explode due to a fire avatar of Wei Tianchen in Fuguo City serving as an anchor for the Enlightenment Golden Ring.

Zhao Xing thought Wei Tianchen now had some degree of trust in him.

This trust, of course, stems from Zhao Xing being unable to alone leave this peculiar White Bone Divine Domain, requiring reliance on him and the Bamboo Sword.

Where could he possibly run? The Emperor level is everywhere, and a dozen demigods at the King level have been slain over the years. Zhao Xing running wildly alone could easily get struck down.

......

On the Nine Yin River, ominous winds blew, chilling the bones to the core.

The Sun Bone could not shine here; only certain special types of bone structures could resist.

Wei Tianchen held a bone shield, displaying a pale blue color, crafted from the bones of a detached special bone structure lifeform, capable of resisting the dark winds blowing over the Nine Yin River.

"Can you pinpoint the exact location?" Wei Tianchen, with Zhao Xing, had been shuttling back and forth among the islands for two and a half months, according to memory.

"Didn’t find it." Zhao Xing shook his head.

"The locations I’ve fished from over the years are just a few spots; it should be easy to locate. If there’s nothing here, only two places remain."

"Let’s go check it out." Zhao Xing nodded.

He employed both the Qi Observation Method and panel monitoring simultaneously.

The Qi Observation Method revealed no special features, but Wei Tianchen’s fortune level exhibited some fluctuation.

Wei Tianchen’s fortune level is Tier Twenty-four, but he has treasures that add five ranks, making a total of Tier Twenty-nine!

It’s already very close to the thirty-tier threshold!

Further advancement would place him at the fortune level of someone like Guluo River Bo Wei.

At such a level, Wei Tianchen’s fortune resembles a vast ocean, making it difficult for ordinary storms to shake it.

Only intense pursuit from superpowers or extreme danger would cause his fortune level to fluctuate.

Otherwise, he’d always be in a state of good luck, rarely encountering misfortune.

Zhao Xing continuously monitored Wei Tianchen’s fortune level, indicating that any change would signify entry into the target area.

After another two and a half months of flight, suddenly Wei Tianchen’s fortune level fluctuated!

It dropped from Tier Twenty-nine to Tier Twenty-one!

Instant drop of nine ranks!

One rule of the fortune technique: when inherent fortune level fluctuation is large, it induces obvious good or bad luck.

"We’ve arrived at the place!" Zhao Xing immediately alerted.

"Below are five reefs; on which one?"

"Take a few steps."

"..."

Wei Tianchen suspected this kid was taking revenge.

Shush shush shush~

He flew with Zhao Xing in a circle, shuttling back and forth among the five reefs.

Zhao Xing intended to judge based on the panel’s fortune fluctuation.

But he found all five reefs were identical, meaning this range steadily reduces fortune by nine ranks.

As for himself, his fortune didn’t show any decrease, seemingly due to the same source of the purple index finger bone he held.
