Chapter 216: The Theory of Luck
While Yin Xun was still amazed by his own fame, Ao Yue had already made a move.
His fist, the size of a sandbag, transformed into the illusion of a mountain and slammed towards Yin Xun.
This was just a probing attack from Ao Yue, but he never expected that this one strike would send Yin Xun flying.
Yin Xun was only at the half-step Divine Ability stage, having just cultivated the seed of Divine Ability and not yet giving birth to it.
This could only be considered as the Divine Soul realm and could not be called Divine Ability.
Among the Monster Kings, Ao Yue was considered one of the top powerhouses. Even though it was a probing punch, he used seventy percent of his strength. How could Yin Xun withstand it?
With just one punch, Yin Xun felt his head buzzing. Not to mention the pain all over his body, the dizziness alone made him almost suffocate.
He didn't understand. How did he get punched as soon as they met? At least give him a chance to speak, right?
Although the humans and demons were currently in a hostile state, Yin Xun had not shown any aggressive posture when he infiltrated the enemy camp. Why did the other side react so strongly?
Yin Xun didn't understand, and Ao Yue didn't understand either.
With this level of strength, how did you capture Hong Li back then?
Forget it, it doesn't matter. Let's just throw a punch first and ask questions later.
Ao Yue was about to make another move, but Yin Xun panicked and raised his hand, saying, "Wait! I have something to say!"
Remembering Hong Li's instructions, Ao Yue immediately held back.
Yin Xun saw that the situation was not good and quickly said, "I know how to break through the Monster Sovereign!"
Hearing this, Hong Li quickly stopped Ao Yue.
Ao Yue was still puzzled, "Didn't you say to just kill him if he played any tricks?"
"No rush, let's hear what he has to say."
Hong Li was already at the peak of the Monster King level, but she had never had any clue on how to break through to the Monster Sovereign level. Now that Yin Xun claimed to have a method, whether it was true or not, it was better to listen first.
Listening wouldn't hurt.
With Hong Li's intervention, Yin Xun managed to save half of his life. He circulated his true essence and adjusted his injuries before saying, "Do you both want to hear what I have to say here?"
Hong Li's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she coldly said, "Come with us, don't play any tricks."
"Don't worry, I'm here to seek cooperation. Cough, cough..."
Yin Xun thought that by revealing his true name and power, the other party would take him more seriously. He never expected this kind of result.
Fortunately, he passed this test. If he had died at the hands of Ao Yue, he would have been truly aggrieved.
The two demons and one human entered the camp's tent, dismissed the others, and used Monstrous Power to isolate the inside from the outside. Only then did Hong Li say, "You can speak now."
The two Great Monster Kings were on high alert.
Especially Ao Yue, although he had become a bit more honest, he wasn't a complete fool. He was also wondering if the person who touched Hong Li's belt back then was really the guy in front of him.
With just one punch, how could Hong Li possibly lose to him?
Something was not right here, but Ao Yue held back his impatience and listened to what Yin Xun had to say.
Instead of directly answering, Yin Xun posed a question.
"Do you know when the last Monster Sovereign appeared in the Coiling Dragon River realm?"
"Of course we know."
Ao Yue didn't know, but Hong Li did. It was their own ancestor.
"Approximately four thousand and two hundred years ago, the last Monster Sovereign passed away, and there has been no Monster Sovereign since then."
This was the eternal pain of the Water Monster Race. When Hong Li answered this question, she even felt that Yin Xun was intentionally mocking the Water Monster Race, so her tone was particularly cold.
"For such a long time, hasn't the Water Monster Race produced any talented individuals? Haven't you considered the cause and effect behind this for all these years?"
"You're asking for death!"
Hong Li was already angry, and now she wanted to whip him to death with her tail.
Yin Xun, however, calmly said, "Do you not want to know the reason behind this?"
He had just been beaten, so he had to save face.
Seeing Yin Xun's confident appearance, Hong Li suppressed her anger and asked, "Do you know the mystery behind this?"
Yin Xun still didn't answer directly, but said, "How talented the people of the Water Monster Race are, you should know better than me. But for these past years, no one has broken through to the Monster Sovereign level, and the same goes for you. Don't you really have any doubts in your heart?"
"Get to the point. Beating around the bush is just a waste of our time, and your life."
Although Hong Li wanted to know the reason, she didn't want to appear too eager, lest Yin Xun take advantage of it.
Yin Xun, however, didn't believe that she could remain so calm. But he still had to say what needed to be said, otherwise, how could he cooperate with her?
"The truth lies within the Dragon Transformation Palace."
With just one sentence, Yin Xun pointed out the core of the problem.
"Over four thousand years ago, the last Monster Sovereign passed away, and since then, there has been no Monster Sovereign.
Around the same time, the Dragon Transformation Palace was established, and ever since then, the Dragon Transformation Palace has always had Dao Integration experts. Have you really never considered the cause and effect behind this?
Moreover, besides the Dragon Transformation Palace, in these four thousand years, no other human force has been able to cultivate to the Dao Integration Realm. Do you know why?"
"Go on."
Hong Li's face darkened. Although Yin Xun's words were just speculation, she had a faint feeling that they were somewhat credible.
The fact that the Monster Sovereign had been absent for over four thousand years was indeed a bit strange.
And regardless of the Monster Sovereign's absence, the other human forces outside of the Dragon Transformation Palace also couldn't break through to higher realms.
This is indeed very unreasonable.
"All of this is because the entire Coiling Dragon River basin is enveloped in an extremely mysterious luck formation."
"A luck formation?"
Hong Li had never heard of this term before.
"That's right, a luck formation. All living beings in the world have luck, and when it gathers together, it becomes luck. Luck is intangible and elusive, but it truly exists. The Dragon Clan has obtained an ancient Feng Shui formation that can seize luck for themselves. The formation covers the entire Coiling Dragon River basin. Any living being born within the range of the formation is connected to the great formation from birth and can never escape from it. Even if they leave the range of this water area, they cannot break through to a higher realm. The Dragon Clan has Dao Integration generation after generation, not because they have a secret method of enlightenment. Many great families do not have such a method, let alone a remote place like Western State. The Dragon Clan clearly has seized the Dragon River's luck, which is why they have Dao Integration generation after generation!"
Hong Li completely believed this statement. She thought she had exceptional talent, but she had been hitting a wall for years and hadn't even caught a glimpse of Dao Integration. She never expected it was because of this reason.
She already believed what Yin Xun said, but she still questioned, "Since it's such a secret, how did you find out? And why would you betray the Dragon Transformation Palace if you are one of them?"
Speaking of this, Yin Xun couldn't help but speak angrily about his own situation.
"It's because the Dragon Clan father and daughter are ruthless!"
Yin Xun talked about how he had tried everything to please Long Yan, but received only indifference. He had put in a lot of effort for Long Yi, but in the end, he was kicked out and left with nothing. He even carried a curse on his body, his life in constant danger. As a former palace master, he couldn't accept this fate, so he must seek revenge!
"As for how I know about these secrets, I naturally have my methods."
Yin Xun refused to say more and kept the method of breaking the luck formation to himself. Hong Li knew he wouldn't easily reveal it, but it was indeed her weakness.
"In that case, we can cooperate, but don't think you can deceive us. Your strength is far from enough!"
Hearing Hong Li agree to cooperate, Yin Xun finally let go of his worries.
After they finished discussing the important matters, Ao Yue brought up the incident where Yin Xun attacked Hong Li earlier.
Yin Xun was dumbfounded.
He had never done such a thing.
With his strength, how could he possibly be Hong Li's opponent?
Who was so despicable to use his name to do such bad things?
Seeing his sincere denial, Ao Yue believed him, and Hong Li asked who could possibly have a grudge against him.
This stumped Yin Xun. As the palace master for so many years, there were bound to be people who envied and resented him. How could he know who did it?
But Yin Xun wasn't stupid. No matter who did it, he could just push the blame onto Zhang Chi.
"I have always treated people generously, and the only one I have a grudge with is Zhang Chi from the Sword Sect."
"Sword Sect's Zhang Chi?"
When Hong Li heard this name, she instantly reacted.
This was the man who killed her beloved.
She couldn't deal with Long Yan, but Zhang Chi had to die!
"That's right. Although his cultivation is low, he is favored by Long Yi and is even being considered as a son-in-law. Perhaps there are powerful protectors around him."
Yin Xun took the opportunity to mention his hope for the Water Monster to attack the Profound Heart Sect and cooperate in killing Zhang Chi.
Hong Li agreed without hesitation.
After that, they began their pleasant cooperation.
They settled many details, and Yin Xun hurriedly returned to the territory of the Profound Heart Sect.
Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
A large net targeting Zhang Chi had quietly formed, but Zhang Chi was currently pondering how to obtain materials.
Both practicing the path of talismans, Gu Youyou advanced much faster than Zhang Chi.
She learned the Heart Script and mastered the method of making talismans. She could now make purple talismans.
The profit from purple talismans was more than ten times that of yellow talismans because they were easier to make and required a certain level of Divine Soul strength to complete.
Generally, only Divine Soul realm talisman masters could make purple talismans.
Only those who specialized in talisman scripts and had strong Divine Soul strength could make them. Even those at the same realm might not have enough Divine Soul strength to make talismans.
Due to his limited strength, Zhang Chi couldn't make them for now.
But it was a waste for Gu Youyou, a high-level technician, to do low-level work.
So, despite the trouble, they still needed to find a way to get her the materials for making talismans.
The crafting process for purple talismans was different, and the materials were expensive, mainly sourced from fierce beasts or demons, such as bones, blood, skin, and flesh. Different talismans required different materials.
Those who could make purple talismans usually had specialized teams to cooperate with, which would lower the cost. Otherwise, they would have to hunt for the materials themselves.
If Zhang Chi procured them himself, the cost would increase, which meant the profit would decrease.
If possible, Zhang Chi hoped Gu Youyou could personally capture the materials.
However, recently, due to the war between humans and demons, all the fierce beasts of this generation had been wiped out.
"If only I could encounter one or two..."
