Chapter 532: Chapter 306: The 6th Era: The Struggle for Fate, The Will of Heaven Cannot be Defied!
Great Yu City.
Due to the sudden arrival of Hong Zhen, who proposed to gamble on stones with Yu Qi, Lu Yuan’s plan was unexpectedly terminated.
But he instead let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
"It seems that [Heaven’s Will] hasn’t failed; it’s just that this time, bringing fortune to me is not the Gambling Stone Workshop, but Daoist Hong Zhen."
Lu Yuan glanced at Hong Zhen with the corner of his eye, thinking to himself.
As a Daoist of the Celestial Fate Sect, Hong Zhen, thinking his luck unrivaled, intended to use stone gambling to undermine the fortune of the Yu Clan.
But little did he know that there are heavens beyond heaven.
In front of the divine-level talent of [Heaven’s Will],
No matter how good his Martial Arts Celestial Eye or how strong his fortune, it might ultimately serve just to benefit Lu Yuan.
"However, according to the Eight Directions Building’s intelligence, the Celestial Fate Sect has been active in the Great Wilderness for the past few years, searching for people with great fortune everywhere, seemingly with some plot."
"And now, with the prodigies of the Seven Great Clans gathering together, and Hong Zhen appearing in Great Yu City at this particular time, it seems his trip is not merely to undermine the prestige of the Ancient Heavy Pupils."
Thinking of the background of the Celestial Fate Sect, Lu Yuan suddenly became a bit alert.
Having been through many Apocalypse Level simulations, he knew better than anyone the horror of the Heavenly Dao Will.
Without outside interference, the Heavenly Dao Will is an invincible existence.
It was only with the protection of the Will of the Heavens, along with his divine-level talent, that Lu Yuan managed to grow smoothly.
Yet in this realm, the Heavenly Dao has long been manipulated, automatically targeting and reckoning all entities and beings that pose a threat to it.
As a simulator, Lu Yuan naturally also falls within the scope of this realm’s Heavenly Dao’s reckoning.
"Could it be that someone has already detected my presence?"
Furrowing his brow, Lu Yuan linked the Celestial Fate Sect’s actions, increasingly feeling this was possible.
However, from the current situation,
The Celestial Fate Sect, though aware of something, can only narrow it down to a general area, still unable to pinpoint who it is.
Thus, they can only spend vast amounts of time and effort sifting through the Great Wilderness to find all people with great fortune, and then investigate them one by one.
"It seems that obtaining this great creation may not be so simple after all."
Lu Yuan muttered with some consternation.
Although he does not yet know what this creation ultimately is,
If he takes it, it will surely attract the attention of the Celestial Fate Sect.
But if he doesn’t take it, he’d be handing it over to someone else for nothing, affecting his own fortune.
After all, if Heaven gives and you don’t take it, you’ll suffer the blame.
At this moment of vexation, Lu Yuan glanced at the members of the Yu Clan, and his heart stirred, finally coming up with a solution.
Meanwhile, on another side,
In a certain mansion within Great Yu City.
Yu Qi was respectfully standing before a sturdy old man, recounting the entire chain of events in detail.
The old man’s gaze was stern, his figure as straight as a pine tree, with a head full of silver hair standing like steel needles.
This was none other than the clan leader of the Yu Clan, Yu Xiong!
"The Celestial Fate Sect ruined our Yu Clan’s Ancient Heavy Pupils back then, and now they want to use the same trick again?"
A glint of coldness flashed in Yu Xiong’s eyes.
Yu Qi remained silent upon hearing this.
The world only knew that the Yu Clan’s ancestors were so obsessed with gambling on stones that he ended up gouging out his own eyes, crippling his cultivation.
But few were aware that there was actually more to the story.
However, every clan leader throughout history has been deeply wary of this matter, so much so that even Yu Qi was not privy to the details.
"Clan Leader, what exactly did the ancestors see back then?"
After a moment of silence, Yu Qi couldn’t help but ask.
What made exotic stones so precious was the Dao Marks of heaven and earth covering their surfaces, capable of blocking any prying.
But there are exceptions to everything.
The Ancient Heavy Pupils possessed unparalleled power, able to see through all illusions.
If a Heavy Pupil holder could grow smoothly and reach the Zhen Realm in cultivation, even the exotic stones would be easily seen through!
The Yu Clan ancestor was himself an Ascension Realm expert, known far and wide for his Heavy Pupils, reputed to peer through heavenly secrets and recreate heaven and earth!
Yu Xiong opened his mouth, hesitated, remained silent for a long time before finally revealing the hidden secrets.
"Back then, our Yu Clan’s ancestor contributed to creation, sweeping invincibly across the Great Court, even the Great Court Deities were extremely apprehensive of him."
"The Great Court Royal Family, therefore, lived in constant fear, and their intent to wage war against our Yu Clan with national strength arose. Our ancestor didn’t want the tribe to be embroiled in war, thus proposed to decide the fate of all clanspeople with a stone bet."
"But Qi’er, as you know being a Heavy Pupil holder, in the eyes of a Great Successor of Double Pupils, so-called exotic stones hold no secrets whatsoever."
Yu Qi nodded in acknowledgment, agreeing with this statement.
A Great Successor of Double Pupils is invincible in this world, capable of seeing through heavenly secrets, let alone an ordinary stone?
If the Great Court Royal Family dared to agree to gamble stones with the Yu Clan, they would undoubtedly lose without exception!
"Clan Leader, if what you say is true, and the ancestors could see through all exotic stones, why did he lose in the end?"
"Could the Great Court have gone back on their word and falsely accused the ancestors?"
With doubt rising in his heart, Yu Qi quickly asked.
"No."
Yu Xiong shook his head, the wrinkles on his face deepening.
"The reason the Great Court dared to agree to a gamble with our ancestors despite being certain to lose, was because this was no simple competition of winning or losing."
"This was a so-called stone bet but in reality, it was a gamble of fortune!"
"This was a contest of fortune between the Yu Clan and the Great Court!"
Back then, the Yu Clan’s ancestors, clearly picked out the most valuable stones from among the exotic stones.
But when they were cut open,
They all turned out to be completely empty, and the exotic treasures and spirit pills within had mysteriously vanished!
Meanwhile, the exotic stones selected by the Great Court Royal Family opened up to reveal a divine oracle.
