410: Five Lucks

Three days later, Gu Liangyuan walked out of the cultivation chamber.

He looked up at the sky, a melancholic expression in his eyes.

For some reason, he always felt a sense of being forced.

Qianqiu also followed him out, wrapping her arms around Gu Liangyuan's waist from behind:

"This kind of thing, it will be fine after a few more times."

"Besides, you were quite excited just now..."

Gu Liangyuan was speechless for a moment.

These were words he used to say to Yang Qiong and the others!

Gu Liangyuan turned to look at Qianqiu: "Oh, your Forget Love Sutra reached the third Rank?"

Qianqiu giggled: "Just reached it."

Gu Liangyuan nodded slightly:

"Alright, it's time for serious business. Go back to the cultivation chamber and take off your clothes."

Qianqiu's eyes lit up: "Again?"

Clang!

Gu Liangyuan flicked Qianqiu's forehead with a thud:

"I'm helping you fuse with the Thunder God Bone and grasp the Innate Authority."

Qianqiu rubbed her head, pouting aggrievedly, and gave a soft 'oh', then turned and walked back towards the seclusion chamber.

Half a day later, with a thunderclap from a clear sky, the Thunder God Bone Fusion was complete, and Qianqiu emerged from seclusion.

At this moment, Qianqiu, with the enhancement of the power of lightning, her cultivation soared again, directly reaching the Peak of Soul Transformation.

She was only half a step away from Void Refining.

"Ding, the Host bestowed the Thunder God Corpse Bone, triggering a five thousand-fold return. Return reward: Innate Dao Fetus."

Name: Innate Dao Fetus

Effect: This is an Innate Fetus, capable of giving birth to Innate beings.

Looking at the System's simple introduction, Gu Liangyuan frowned slightly.

It was a good item, but it wasn't of much use for improving his own strength.

He simply put it away for now, waiting for the Dao Fetus to hatch.

"Thank you, Master."

Qianqiu's words pulled Gu Liangyuan's thoughts back. Looking at the bright and charming Qianqiu, Gu Liangyuan suddenly thought of something. He pointed a finger, and the Seven Arrows Nailhead Technique was transmitted to Qianqiu:

"Here is a hexing technique; you might need it in the future."

"Mm."

Qianqiu nodded, looking at Gu Liangyuan, a sense of guilt suddenly rising in her heart.

Master was so good to her, so selfless.

Yet she always thought about pushing Master down...

Am I being a bit too much...?

But then Qianqiu suddenly jolted awake.

Qianqiu, oh Qianqiu, how could you think like that!

Master was clearly willing; he just had a thin skin.

What you're doing is to make him happier; it's clearly a way of repaying his kindness!

Right.

No problem!

Qianqiu convinced herself once again.

"Ding, the Host bestowed the Seven Arrows Nailhead, triggering a two hundred-fold return. Return reward: Five Fortunes Plundering Heaven Technique."

Name: Five Fortunes Plundering Heaven Technique

Rank: Ancient Witchcraft Forbidden Art

Effect: As long as there is a wisp of the target's Qi, this technique can be cast. Once cast, it can plunder everything from the victim, including their root bone, Luck, etc., for one's own use.

(Note: This technique goes against Heavenly Dao. Once cast, Karma will descend. The amount of Karma depends on the strength of the victim.)

Gu Liangyuan's lips curved into a smile.

Good stuff!

Not only could he kill Ditian, but he could also gain a wave of Karma. Good stuff, truly good stuff.

After learning this technique, although Gu Liangyuan couldn't wait to immediately return to Forget-Love Peak to cast it, he still held back.

He had promised Song Xianer before that he would also give her a reward.

After giving Qianqiu a few more instructions about the Small World and the Void Tower, Gu Liangyuan left the Dayuan Imperial Palace and found Song Xianer's seclusion place.

Song Xianer was even more direct than Qianqiu. Seeing Gu Liangyuan, she immediately pounced on him.

Amidst Gu Liangyuan's half-hearted resistance, Song Xianer achieved her good deed.

During this time, Gu Liangyuan wanted to resist, but one sentence from Song Xianer made Gu Liangyuan completely abandon this idea:

"Master, you wouldn't want me to stop informing you in the future, would you?"

Several days later, Gu Liangyuan left with a heavy heart.

The scheme to sow discord had indeed succeeded, but for some reason, Gu Liangyuan always felt an unpleasant taste in his heart.

Gu Liangyuan also left a mental note this time, leaving a trace of Divine Thought there to monitor Song Xianer's every move.

But after waiting for several days and seeing that Song Xianer was only cultivating cross-legged without any other actions, he withdrew his Divine Thought and began to build a sacrificial altar on Forget-Love Peak according to the method of the Five Fortunes Plundering Heaven Technique.

During this time, he didn't forget about the Void Tower. He had Lü Qingmei secretly prepare to gather all the top-tier talented individuals in the Eastern Continent, regardless of whether they were Disciples or Elders.

In the Void Tower, one day in the human world equals one year inside the tower. For Cultivators with powerful Aptitude, this was an accelerator for cultivation.

But for Cultivators with ordinary Aptitude, even staying in the tower for a thousand years wouldn't yield significant changes. Instead, they were highly likely to die of old age in the Void Tower.

Their Aptitude only supported them to reach this point. To make further progress, they could only rely on opportunities.

Teaching according to Aptitude was the Righteous Path of development.

At the same time, Gu Liangyuan also sent messages to his other Disciples, asking them to finish their current tasks as much as possible and then spend half a year or a year inside.

Time waits for no one; every second must be seized.

Building this Five Fortunes altar required various rare Spiritual Qi objects, but for Gu Liangyuan, who had obtained the Gathering Treasure Pavilion's treasury, these were not a problem. Within a day, it was completed.

Then, according to the method of this technique, he used five-colored earth to mold a small figure in Ditian's likeness, and then placed that wisp of Ditian's Qi into the clay figure.

As soon as this wisp of Qi entered the clay figure's body, the clay figure seemed to come alive.

A hint of liveliness appeared in its eyes and brows.

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly; this technique was successful!

Next, he only needed to lock the clay figure in the Nine Heavens with the Five Fortunes and Six Qi, and Ditian's Primordial Spirit would perish.

At the same time, in the endless Chaos, a wooden boat slowly glided through the air.

On the wooden boat, a middle-aged man in a python robe sat cross-legged.

The man's face was pale, his eyes bloodshot, and a golden gong floated before his chest.

This person was Ditian.

Ditian gazed into the distance, his eyes met with endless darkness and some scattered rocks of varying sizes floating within the darkness.

No Spiritual Qi, no life force.

Ditian was about to control the wooden boat to accelerate when he suddenly felt a spatial fluctuation in the distance.

He thought he had encountered a spatial rift and was saved, but upon closer inspection, it was the legendary spatial storm.

The power of spatial distortion and tearing, mixed with Chaos Qi, formed a hurricane, seemingly intending to devour everything within it.

Ditian felt uneasy just by looking at it.

Without any hesitation, he urged the flying boat beneath him to quickly move in the opposite direction.

He didn't know how long he ran until there was no longer any trace of the spatial storm. Only then did Ditian let out a sigh of relief.

"Gu Liangyuan!"

Ditian's hoarse voice came out, like a demon's whisper.

"I have already abandoned past hatred and left the Kong Sang Realm."

"But you are still unwilling to give me a way out."

"Even if I die, I will bite off a piece of you..."

Ditian hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly slapped himself hard:

"Learning a lesson and then learning another lesson, is that it? Ditian, oh Ditian, you never learn."

"You barely survived, how can you risk your life in a fight!"

"You must be steady, you must endure!"

Looking at the golden gong on his chest, Ditian's mind stirred. He forced out a drop of his heart's blood, and then forcibly expelled his Yin Spirit from his Primordial Spirit, cutting off half of it and injecting it into the blood.

After doing all this, Ditian's face was utterly devoid of color.

But his eyes appeared exceptionally resolute:

"I know Gu Liangyuan too well. If he learns of my whereabouts, he will be relentless!"

"The only way for me to escape is to feign death."

Saying that, he flung the golden gong into the endless Void Realm, letting it drift.

"My most precious Magic Treasure now is this golden gong. Only it can withstand all crises in the Chaos."

"I may not be able to escape this endless Chaos, but this golden gong certainly can, it's just a matter of time."

"If I die in the Chaos, with this wisp of soul hidden within the golden gong, I might not be unable to walk the path of a ghost Cultivator and rise again in the future."

"If I don't die in this Chaos, with the wisp of remnant soul in the golden gong, I can also find it."

"One can never be too cautious with Gu Liangyuan!"

If there were any other Cultivators present, they would surely be amazed by Ditian's ruthlessness.

The spirit is divided into Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit. The so-called Yang Spirit is the Primordial Spirit.

Generally, Cultivators only have a Yin Spirit, which is the soul, before Soul Transformation.

After Soul Transformation, the Primordial Spirit appears, and the Yin Spirit recedes, hiding within the Yang Spirit.

The Yin Spirit is exceptionally fragile, so it needs the protection of the Yang Spirit.

Once the Yin Spirit is lost, it means that the person is no longer complete. Not only can their cultivation no longer improve, but it will also regress with the passage of time.

Even if the Yin Spirit is found again, it would take countless years to slowly nurture it.

Yet Ditian was so decisive, taking such a great risk for an uncertain event, severing his Yin Spirit, just for a glimmer of hope!
