Chapter 351: Fortune-Drawn Fate Sign, Oath-Bound Fate Decree
Jiangnan, Hidden Sword Manor.
Lv Yang’s Immortal Spirit body remained concealed within the stone sword. Before him floated the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll’s parchment, alongside a bamboo fortune-telling urn.
“Auspiciousness! Auspiciousness! I need auspiciousness!” Lv Yang exclaimed, his eyes widening.
The Ten Thousand Lives Scroll’s parchment trembled as the urn shook violently. Three radiant lots spilled forth:
[Event: Cultivating the final stage of the Resonant Mysticism Sutra]
[Minor Auspice: Though your comprehension is lacking, today’s momentum carried you effortlessly past the final hurdle.]
[Fleeting Auspice: Due to insufficient aptitude, you struggled at the final obstacle for an extended period before ultimately grasping the key through persistence.]
[Minor Calamity: Your talent proved insufficient to succeed.]
“Auspiciousness!” Without hesitation, Lv Yang seized the Minor Auspice lot. The other two dissolved instantly as the chosen lot merged into his body.
Through months of experimentation, he’d mastered the Fortune-Drawn Fate Sign talent.
‘Firstly, this talent can’t be used continuously – each activation requires accumulating Fortune Points. The more Fortune Points stored, the higher the chance of drawing an auspicious lot.’
‘Secondly, these lots mostly provide auxiliary effects. They won’t let me achieve anything theoretically impossible.’
For instance, if he challenged Ang Xiao directly, even amassing immense Fortune Points would only yield a Great Calamity lot. Strictly speaking, this talent merely reveals future possibilities – the final choice always rested with Lv Yang himself.
Conversely, any feat theoretically within his capabilities could be predestined success through Fortune-Drawn Fate Sign, bypassing process to guarantee results.
“Unfortunately, not a Great Auspice.” A wistful expression crossed Lv Yang’s face as he recalled two months prior when an unexpected Great Auspice lot had granted miraculous fortune.
That day, he’d struggled with the Resonant Mysticism Sutra – a Tier-2 True Cultivation Technique devised by the Sword Pavilion for Mystic Spirit Realm practitioners. Unlike the Heaven-Seizing Universal Command Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body technique which relied purely on resources, this scripture demanded elusive comprehension.
He’d encountered endless obstacles – until that Great Auspice lot transformed his condition. Problems that once confounded him became trivial puzzles solved effortlessly, as if answering pre-known multiple-choice questions.
In that moment, he’d foolishly believed his aptitude rivaled Yanluo Patriarch’s. Such was the power of a Great Auspice boost.
“Well, Minor Auspice will suffice.”
Focusing inward, Lv Yang manifested a flame – the Six Ding Divine Fire, one of three treasures secretly retained from Heaven’s South Gate. This flame, nearly fully refined, served as his spirit harvesting tool.
“This is Wenhuo – the ‘civilized fire.’” He mused, “Less a forge flame for refining pills or artifacts, more a wisdom flame born from human contemplation, sharpening one’s intellect.”
As he absorbed the fire essence, the Minor Auspice’s blessing ensured success. Without cultivation bottlenecks, his spirit sea soon shimmered with ethereal radiance.
“Resembles a Divine Ability.” Observing the spectral glow, he recognized this as the Resonant Mysticism Sutra’s culmination – neither pure Divine Ability nor Spirit Treasure.
Its name: Fate-Decree Oathbinding.
Through this, he learned the Mystic Spirit Realm’s Fruit Position – Siming (Fatekeeper), symbolizing predestined cosmic order. Indeed, the Mystic Spirit Realm’s structure mirrored this, with celestial emperors governing five orderly immortality tiers.
Yet the Mystic Spirit Realm’s heavens had failed absolute dominion over fate. This Fruit Position remained incomplete when the Holy Sect attacked, fracturing the celestial order. Now adrift in this world, its eventual demise was merely a matter of time.
Fate-Decree Oathbinding originated from the Siming Fruit Position’s divine essence.
What constituted “decreed fate”? What defined “binding vows”?
“Decreeing fate weaves fortune into singular directions, maximizing its effects.”
“Binding vows maintain this fate-weaving.”
“Once fate is decreed, a vow must be accepted. Uphold the vow, and fate’s blessing persists. Break it, and fortune turns to retribution.”
Similar systems existed in the Mystic Spirit Realm. While lacking Dragon-Binding Winds that eroded souls, cultivators faced “Dao Collapse Calamities,” requiring strict vows to counterbalance – explaining their rigid celestial laws.
“If I decree my own fate…” Lv Yang’s spiritual sea flared in response. A prophetic vision revealed:
“Pomegranate Wood Fate Edict!”
This fate decree connected him to the Pomegranate Wood Fruit Position, significantly aiding his Life-Bound Divine Ability awakening and future golden body pursuits.
Yet maintaining this fate required adherence to strict vows.
“Vow of Chastity Abandonment…” He grimaced at the revelation. “Never practice self-restraint. Engage in dual cultivation daily… This is truly excessive!”
Though not a lustful man, he resolved – for the greater good, personal sacrifice was inevitable.
Thousands of days later…
Emerging from meditation, Lv Yang opened his eyes expectantly. “Finally… Worth the wait!”
The Dangmo True Man had arrived.
The Sword Pavilion’s Foundation Building Perfection Great True Sovereign had kept his promise, personally divining karmic threads to locate Lv Yang’s reincarnation body. Coincidentally, the vessel was now eight years old.
Meanwhile, Lv Yang hadn’t idled – refining Heaven’s South Gate treasures to their limits, nearing the Foundation Building Peak.
“Foundation Building Mid-Stage… After Chifa (Lawkeeper) comes perfection!”
“Beyond lies Heavenly Tribulation – the next major breakthrough. Nine deaths, one life… Master of Heaven-Mending Peak perished here. Better overprepared – too much has been sacrificed reaching this point.”
Suddenly, Lv Yang’s brows lifted. Sensing his fragmented soul’s signal, he grinned. “Interesting… Previous preparations have taken effect.”
