Chapter 74: The Sixth Life
Chapter 74: The Sixth Life
[You failed to achieve Foundation Building Breakthrough and perished, your Dao dissolved.]
[Current Remaining Pages of the Ten-Thousand Lives Tome: 94]
[Reincarnating into this life, you may choose one of the following legacies from your previous life:
1. Treasures.
2. Cultivation.
3. Lifespan.
4. Forfeit all legacies and randomly awaken a talent based on your past life’s experiences.]
"Those called forth shall step before me."
Liu Xin’s voice echoed from the platform, but Lv Yang remained oblivious, his mind still fixed on the Ten-Thousand Lives Scroll interface. After a long pause, he finally replied, "I choose cultivation."
In the next heartbeat, his empty body surged with a torrent of vital energy. The full power of his previous life’s Refining Qi tenth layer, the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Ray, the Dark Yin Soul Grasp Supreme Art, the Imperial Edict Talisman Scripture, and the Sage Body Theft Cultivation Technique all returned, drawing a sigh of satisfaction from Lv Yang.
"Imperial Secret Canon, Decree of Heavenly Amnesty!"
Lv Yang immediately activated the Imperial Edict Talisman Scripture while invoking the Sage Body Theft Cultivation Technique to shroud his karmic threads in an illusionary veil of false causality.
Centuries of cultivation in his past life had not been wasted.
With the aid of the Mingdao Jade Scroll, his mastery of Array Art had reached the Seventh-Rank—nearly the pinnacle achievable for a Refining Qi cultivator. Array Art, in particular, had become his specialty.
His greatest achievement was reconstructing the "Primordial Chaos Unity Talisman" from his past life, a divine sigil that masked heavenly omens, retaining three-tenths of its original potency.
"This will suffice for now."
"After all, the original was crafted by a Foundation Building expert, imbued with that realm’s authority. Perfect replication would be unrealistic for my current level. Three-tenths is already commendable."
Boom!
Suddenly, Lv Yang sensed a shift in the karmic network. A vast, surging energy swept through the karmic threads connected to the Coiling Dragon Cultivator lineage, tracing directly toward him. Instantly recognizing the source, he realized it was the Heaven-Mending Peak Master!
How swift!
In past lives, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master had taken years to find him. Now, they had located him almost immediately. Was it because of his heightened cultivation?
"Yet this time is different", Lv Yang mused calmly. Accepting the Coiling Dragon Cultivator’s karmic inheritance naturally attracted the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s attention. But this time, he possessed a critical advantage—a status.
A Foundation Building cultivator could effortlessly divine an ordinary mortal, but once the target acquired status, divination became exponentially harder.
"Hmph! Daring to defy me, you wretched child!"
Through the karmic network, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s enraged voice reverberated. They had detected Lv Yang’s attempt to conceal his fate and discerned his true identity—not a Foundation Building expert, but a Refining Qi cultivator with inherited status.
In the next moment, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master intensified their search. A colossal spiritual sense swept in, shattering Lv Yang’s illusory karmic veil and homing in on his essence. Within a quarter-hour, his location would be locked.
"Formidable... truly formidable."
Lv Yang inwardly marveled but remained unflustered. The Heaven-Mending Peak Master needed a quarter-hour to pinpoint him, but Lv Yang’s plans required far less time.
He moved.
Lv Yang left his Primordial Qi Avatar behind while his true form cloaked itself and vanished. He swiftly confronted Liu Xin, retrieving the authentic talisman from him.
With his current cultivation, defeating the mid-rank Refining Qi cultivator Liu Xin was effortless. Liu Xin remained entirely unaware of the intrusion. To avoid alerting his pursuers, Lv Yang replaced the genuine talisman with a counterfeit of his own making.
"Who dares!"
Hardly had he secured the talisman when the Heaven-Mending Peak Master pierced his defenses, unleashing a tidal wave of karmic force across the network. Yet, their search proved fruitless.
This humiliating evasion ignited the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s fury. No matter how they scrutinized the heavens, the culprit remained elusive.
Puzzled, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master fell silent before coldly querying, "Fortune? Was it you?"
"Eh?"
Within the Holy Sect, a refined and elegant immortal cultivator opened his eyes, his expression tinged with reluctant amusement. "Old Pest Chen, don’t accuse me falsely."
"Hmph! It must be you!"
The Heaven-Mending Peak Master seemed convinced of Fortune Immortal’s guilt, scoffing, "The Panlong entrusted me with his legacy before death, declaring I alone could choose his successor. You dared manipulate a junior to steal it away? Do you truly believe I’d fear your status and hesitate to act?"
The Fortune Immortal’s eyes narrowed. "Panlong’s legacy has been stolen?"
"Don’t play innocent!" The Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s voice thundered anew. "We’re not done here. Even a True Monarch Reincarnation is no longer a true True Monarch!"
Soon, the karmic fluctuations dissipated.
Though the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s words bristled with menace, they hesitated to strike openly. Still, Fortune Immortal found himself unsettled.
Among the Holy Sect’s Foundation Building experts, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master was a formidable force—one not easily dismissed. Secluded in his cultivation cave, he had no desire to provoke such a rival. Yet, curiosity gnawed at him.
"Who dares scheme against me?"
Fortune Immortal divined, but to no avail. Frowning, he mused, "If not deliberate... could this be an unintended consequence? How intriguing!"
"Hearing the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s account, a junior filched Panlong’s legacy, yet he cannot identify the culprit. Which reckless junior dares this?"
The more Fortune Immortal pondered, the more his curiosity burned. "Alas, this junior hides behind a talisman masking heavenly omens. Ordinary methods fail... yet mobilizing the ‘Covered Lamp Flame’ for a mere junior would be disproportionate. Let it rest—attending to urgent matters is paramount."
With that, Fortune Immortal redirected his focus.
Almost simultaneously, a disciple within the Holy Sect suddenly lifted his head, his previously muddled thoughts clearing. His demeanor transformed into one of commanding grace—Xiao Shiye.
"Frightening", he murmured.
Meanwhile, within the Happiunion Hall, Lv Yang found himself led into a cultivation cave by Yushuzhen, just as in past lives. Liu Xin awaited outside, primed for the next sequence—Yushuzhen’s ritual to "liberate the corpse."
But this time, Lv Yang had altered his plan.
"This life, I shall cultivate the Supreme Yin Shedding Corpse Liberation True Art—a technique requiring symbolic death. Better to perish here."
He intended for Yushuzhen to perform the ritual, testing a daring hypothesis: the Heavenly Opportunity Theft technique.
Acquired from Zhao Xuhe, this Foundation Building secret art allowed one to implant their energy into a partner through dual cultivation, transforming them into a vessel to siphon their fortune.
Lv Yang’s idea was simple: Could this technique stack?
The method required a partner of the opposite sex, limiting him to female cultivators like Fairy Feixia or Qinghe Fairy. Yet their limited talents offered little value. Yun Miaozhen, the only viable candidate, resided far away in the Sword Pavilion.
Male cultivators, however, presented a different avenue. Liu Xin, Zhao Xuhe, and Xiao Shiye—each a prodigy with profound blessings—were conveniently close.
Thus, his plan crystallized:
If Heavenly Opportunity Theft can stack, I’ll first implant my essence into Yushuzhen, turning her into a vessel. Then, she’ll use the same technique through dual cultivation with Liu Xin, Zhao Xuhe, and Xiao Shiye—channeling their blessings into me indirectly!
The Fortune Immortal once nearly frightened him to death. This life, he’d repay the favor by crafting a destined heroine from an ordinary disciple—Yushuzhen—to rival even Xiao Shiye.
