Chapter 182: Reporting Fortune's Deeds
Chapter 182: Reporting Fortune’s Deeds
Inside the Sky-Connecting Sea of Clouds, within the Holy Flame Cliff, a secluded hall lay hidden beneath layers of Formation Art that obscured its heavenly secrets. Within this chamber, a figure sat motionless before a desk, the flickering lamp casting sharp shadows across his chiseled, righteous face. His Divine Abilities, fully realized, surged chaotically around him—so potent that if unleashed beyond this sanctum, they could reduce entire overseas continents to ruin. This was Hong Ju, a Foundation Building Peak Great True Man, his power unrivaled in cultivation circles.
Before him rested the Fate-Linked Destiny Codex, a Fruit-Rank Treasure unique to the Lampfire of Restoration sect. Guarded here since its creation, the tome required Karmic Merit as ink and Fortune as a brush to inscribe upon it—a process so draining that even a Great True Man could only wield it sparingly. Yet Hong Ju had just written, “Wu Cang kills Lv Yang.” The moment the words solidified, celestial killing intent erupted…
Then, the codex’s pages flushed crimson.
A lightning bolt tore through the chamber, striking Hong Ju’s divine form. This was no ordinary thunder—it was Heavenly Punishment. When the storm subsided, Hong Ju’s scorched body regenerated instantly, but his Karmic Fortune had plummeted by a tenth. For a peak cultivator like him, such a loss was devastating.
“How?!” he rasped, divining frantically. “Lv Yang’s breakthrough to Foundation Building Mid-Stage… Was it Wugui Sect’s lingering blessings? Or—” His fingers twitched, scattering Karmic Threads like sparks. “—has he gained favor from the Fruit itself?”
The codex’s power had backfired because Lv Yang’s advancement shattered Hong Ju’s predestined decree. Mortified, he erased the entry and rewrote: “Lv Yang dies overseas.” The act drained his Fortune further, but sealing his cultivation within a cave to recover was his only recourse.
Meanwhile, at Heaven-Mending Peak, the aftermath of Wu Cang’s demise lingered. His blood stained the Embrace Mountain like a waterfall, while sect elders eyed Lv Yang skeptically. Earlier, they’d planned to ambush Wu Cang for the True Monarch’s Scroll—but instead, Lv Yang had slain him.
“Doubt my innocence?” Lv Yang asked coolly, unfurling the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner. “Would I save Wu Cang’s soul if I were guilty?”
The banner’s trapped soul—a now-subdued Wu Cang—spun a tale of “reckless ambition,” silencing the crowd. Truth mattered little here; what remained was undeniable: Lv Yang lived, Wu Cang did not.
Then came a summons: “Yuan Tu (Slaughter), to Holy Flame Cliff—at once.”
Chongguang True Man’s voice crackled with urgency. Lv Yang smirked. “He’ll demand my help against Fortune. Time to report overseas dangers—and tempt him with Great Ascension-grade True Qi.”
After all, Fortune’s schemes in the Emerald Sun Cultivation Realm were far too volatile to handle alone.
