Chapter 456 The Lady's Favor

The tests between the immortal abodes are different, and the focus is also different, which greatly tests the compatibility of those who enter.

For example, even if a player who specializes in combat using energy and skills gains a numerical advantage like Wu Chang, they still cannot defeat the avatar of the Immortal Abode Master in an area the size of the arena.

The compatibility between the Immortal Abode and the test taker is crucial for passing the Immortal Abode.

Players who rank in the top ten of the qualification dungeon already possess both strength and dungeon-solving skills. When they encounter a compatible Immortal Abode, it is not difficult for them to clear the Immortal Abode and obtain Immortal Fate.

Compared to passing through the Immortal Abode, concealing one's own existence and obscuring the memories of all witnesses seems far more bizarre.

Among the players in the Wilderness Realm, Wu Chang only knows one person who possesses such bizarre methods, is powerful enough, and is proficient in tackling dungeons.

That was the painter.

The painter must have a permanent passive skill that hides his presence. Even with Wu Chang's inspiration, it would be difficult for him to actively recall the painter's existence. Otherwise, he would have suspected the painter immediately.

Since the painter infiltrated the middle layer five years ago and stole the tools used by the Light Society to create fantastical divinity, he has been ranked number one on the list of those who must be killed in the Realm of Reason.

The Light Society, the four major organizations, and even the Cult of Evil Gods all coveted the things in the painter's hands, which made the painter dare not easily enter the Realm of Reason and was stuck in the Desolate Realm for five whole years.

World Dungeons are a major turning point in the Abyss game, and also the best time for artists to reap the benefits and advance into the Realm of Reason.

Now that Wu Chang's appearance has diverted most of the Guangming Society's attention, there's no reason for him not to get involved.

Five years ago, the painter was already capable of entering the middle level and was able to escape the pursuit of the Light Society. After five years of development, his strength is unfathomable.

In terms of direct combat, Wu Chang was not afraid of the painter, but he was not really confident that he could capture the painter and keep his true form.

Now that he had found the person in question, he stopped making things difficult for Xuancha Si, told them there was no need to continue the investigation, and turned to leave.

The activation of the three array eyes, coupled with the emergence of the fourth Earth Immortal in the Human Alliance, plunged the entire Zhenyue City into celebration, with people staying up all night.

As the moon set and the sun rose, and the sky brightened, Wu Chang and Eileen arrived at the Golden Cloud Pavilion in the east of the city.

The manager of Jinxia Pavilion was an outer elder of Jinlin Pavilion. With his sharp eyes, he recognized Wu Chang's identity at a glance and told Su Wangyou about the visit of the Fourth Earth Immortal.

Su Wangyou was also present at last night's celebration banquet. She drank quite a bit during the banquet, and when she came out to see Wu Chang, her eyes still showed signs of drunkenness.

He smiled and said, "Brother Tang, have you prepared the magical artifacts to be reforged?"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Alliance Leader Lü has ordered me to go to the Demon Realm to investigate. The journey to the Demon Realm is dangerous, and the more strength we have, the more certain we will be of success."

Upon hearing this, Su Wangyou was filled with respect and led Wu Chang to the back of Jinxia Pavilion, saying:

“Brother Tang, please come with me. My strength is too weak to enter the demon realm like you and investigate the demon race. I can only do my best to help.”

Su Wangyou staggered, walking in a serpentine manner, but her posture remained steady, indicating that she was only slightly tipsy and not truly drunk.

It is said that being half-drunk and half-awake is Su Wangyou's best state, when she can reach her peak in both combat and forging skills.

Su Wangyou arrived at a special casting table and said:

"Brother Tang, if you wish to have something recast, just hand it over to me now."

Wu Chang reached out and took out three dice, placed them in Su Wangyou's hand, and said:
"Thank you for your help, Brother Su."

Su Wangyou stared blankly at the three dice in her hand, and asked in confusion:

"Brother Tang, why don't you choose to reforge your warhammer?"

In the final stage of Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, Wu Chang's hammer and sword technique left a deep impression on him, and he even thought that the warhammer was Wu Chang's main weapon.

Wu Chang shook his head and said, "They are more important to me."

This is the item he chose to reforge, a stroke of good fortune.

These three dice were the first piece of equipment he obtained in the Abyss game. Although their level was low, their special effects helped him solve a lot of troubles along the way, and they could even shine in world dungeons.

His fighting style doesn't rely on weapons. Eileen has already found her true signature weapon, and compared to the blessing of Lady Luck, the Light of Steadfastness seems rather useless.

Whether from an emotional or functional perspective, strengthening the favor of Lady Luck is the best choice.

Now that Wu Chang was certain, Su Wangyou said no more. He simply weighed the dice in his hand and whispered:

"If you gamble with such a multi-sided die and roll a triple, the casino owner will have to give me the place."

He threw the dice into the forging table, lit the furnace, and, using the unique fire control techniques of the Golden Scale Pavilion and his experience, searched for the most suitable temperature for the dice.

When the flames reached a bluish-white temperature, he took out a palm-sized golden scale from his pocket and threw it into the flames.

The item Su Wangyou took out was the Golden Scale Pavilion's prized possession, the Spirit-Infused Golden Scale.

The Spirit Essence Golden Scale is made by fusing and refining more than a dozen different spiritual ores and placing them in a celestial abode to absorb blessings. The method of making it is inherited from ancient times, and the name of the Golden Scale Pavilion is derived from this, which is enough to illustrate its high value.

The spiritual golden scales turned into liquid upon entering the furnace, enveloping the three dice. Under the control of the flames, part of the pure golden liquid adhered to the dice, while the other part seeped into the inside of the dice, squeezing out impurity-like black fragments from within.

After half an hour of continuous refining, as Su Wangyou poured a ladle of spirit wine into the forging furnace, three brand-new dark gold dice appeared before Wu Chang amidst the fragrant wine mist.

The dice shimmered with a misty, precious aura, clearly indicating their extraordinary nature. Wu Chang couldn't wait for the dice to cool down and grabbed all three dice immediately.

Item Name: Lady Luck's Favor

Item Level: A

"Item Skill: Double Luck"

"Skill Description: When you roll an odd number, you have a 50% chance to dodge all upcoming area-of-effect skills;
When you roll an even number, all your probability-based judgment skills will be judged twice. If both judgments are successful, the skill will be activated twice.

Trigger count: Number of throws / 10; Cooldown: 1 day.

"Item Skill: Strong Luck"

Skill Description: Roll three dice. If the numbers rolled are the same, you will gain a "Strong Luck" status. Under the "Strong Luck" status, the success rate of luck-related choices is greatly increased.

The duration of "Strong Luck" is Inspiration/10 seconds, and this effect can be activated twice per instance.

"Item Skill: Lucky Compensation"

"Skill Description: When you roll different numbers on the dice and fail to trigger the Strong Luck, Lady Luck will give you some compensation."

This effect can either change the outcome of the throw to trigger a "Strong Luck" effect, or double the Luck value for the same duration as the "Strong Luck" state. This effect can be activated twice per instance.

Wu Chang examined the dark gold dice in his hand, his eyes filled with joy. This effect had lived up to his expectations.

The remelted dice have increased direct auxiliary effects in battle.

Double the good fortune, in terms of effect, can be described as a combination of offense and defense.

The Abyss game doesn't have many targeted skills; most of them are area-of-effect skills. This means that as long as he throws an odd number, he has a 50% chance of not taking damage during the effect's duration.

If used in conjunction with the Luck skill, and a score of 70+ is thrown, it means that the opponent's next 7 skills will miss.

As long as the gap between the two sides is not too large, they can turn the tide of battle in a head-on confrontation.

If he throws an even number, his damage cap will be increased. Combined with strong luck, this will allow him to deal double damage with his next seven skills, as long as they are probability-based.

This single skill alone is enough to make his item reforging worthwhile. In addition to the double good luck, the reforging retains the original strong luck skill of the dice and makes the triggering conditions easier.

You don't need three ones; as long as the points are the same, it will trigger.

In addition to the triggering mechanism, the one-time state has been changed to a continuous state, triggering once per plane, increasing it to twice. It can be said that the original effect has been comprehensively improved.

However, even with the increased probability of triggering, rolling three identical numbers is still difficult. Just like with the original dice, to trigger a lucky streak, you still need to rely on the skill that comes with it.

The original trigger skill of the dice was called "Lead-filled Dice". During the item reforging process, impurities were peeled out from inside the dice, which looked like lead filling inside.

He was worried that without a trigger mechanism, the item would have all the effects but no way to activate them.

When he saw the "lucky compensation," he realized he had been worrying unnecessarily.

Lady Luck's favor is truly exceptional.

After reforging, there's no need for all that fancy stuff. If you don't roll three identical numbers, you can't trigger the strong luck, right? Lady Luck will automatically count it as triggered for you.

When he was blessed by Lady Luck, he wondered why such a powerful lady would resort to such petty tricks as cheating.

Now it seems no wonder the dice were a D-level item before; if it said you'd hit, you hit. That's the true power of Lady Luck.

Furthermore, in case he was worried that the compensation prepared for him would be unusable after triggering two periods of strong luck, a second plan was thoughtfully prepared to double his luck value.

He was extremely satisfied with the recast dice. The only problem was that Lady Luck was so kind to him; wouldn't Eileen and He Yun misunderstand when they saw them?

Having completed the reforging of the magical artifact, Su Wangyou took two gulps of wine. Seeing Wu Chang staring intently at the dice without saying a word, she felt a little uneasy and asked:
"Brother Tang, is this reforged magic weapon to your liking?"

Wu Chang was brought back to his senses by Su Wangyou's call, and he nodded emphatically:

"It couldn't be more perfect. With this magical artifact in hand, I have gained much more confidence. If this exploration of the demon realm is successful, Brother Su will definitely have made a great contribution."

While Wu Chang's physical body was reforging magical artifacts at the Golden Scale Pavilion, his true self was sitting in the agreed-upon restaurant, waiting for Leng Shan and Jian Xing to return.

Ever since his visit to the Xuancha Division, the Grand Xuan Secret Agent has been sending him a copy of any important intelligence concerning the Human Alliance and the Celestials.

From last night until now, it's only been six hours, or three hours.

For ordinary citizens of Zhenyue City, it's just the time it takes to sleep, but for players, there's so much more they can do.

Through the intelligence gathered by the Xuancha Division, Wu Chang was able to sense the rapid changes in the instance dimension.

First are the seven array eyes.

The two chosen by Leng Shan, Tianji, and the one chosen by Jian Xing, Yao Guang, were both suited to their abilities. They both successfully broke into the Immortal Mansion and obtained the relics left behind by the immortals.

Besides Tianji and Yaoguang, Tianshu, one of the Seven Stars, was also successfully breached. The intelligence sent back by Taichang Temple mentioned that the one who breached the Immortal Mansion was a female warrior, whose appearance and temperament matched Meng Yawen.

It seems that after leaving Tianquan Immortal Mansion, Meng Yawen turned her attention to Tianshu Immortal Mansion. She broke through the mansion much faster than Leng Shan and Jian Xing, perhaps because she received compensation from the Guangming Society.

The seven immortal mansions that the cultivators of the Great Xuan Sect had been struggling to conquer for a year were breached in less than 24 hours after the world instance began, with six of them being destroyed and their corresponding array cores being activated.

Only the second star of the Big Dipper, Tianxuan, remains unconquered, but it's only a matter of time.

Activating six of the seven array eyes is enough to keep the Ziwei Exorcising Array running, and with the help of the other six array eyes, the challenges of the Tianxuan Immortal Mansion will be reduced to some extent.

The mechanism originally intended for the Tianquan Immortal Mansion unexpectedly ended up being used by the Tianxuan Immortal Mansion.

A chivalrous man hurried into the shop. As soon as he entered, he shouted for the waiter to bring two jars of wine to quench his thirst.

As someone passed by Wu Chang's table, before anyone could even see clearly, an envelope appeared in front of Wu Chang.

Wu Chang opened the envelope naturally; inside was the latest intelligence sent to him by the Xuancha Division.

The intelligence report mentioned that a strange person wearing a bodysuit and a mask entered the Tianxuan Immortal Mansion at almost the same time as Leng Shan and Jian Xing. By the time the news spread, the person had already reached the fifth trial of the Immortal Mansion.

According to the intelligence report, the opponent should be the player ranked first in the White Tower, named "Super Core".

Before the qualification instance, when Leng Shan hadn't significantly improved through the Steam Phantom instance, he was still second on the Desolate Realm combat power ranking, while the number one on the combat power ranking at that time was Supercore.

Being targeted by players of this caliber, the weakened Tianxuan Immortal Abode could be breached at any time.

If we were to name the busiest person in the past 24 hours, it would undoubtedly be Yuan Yan. Judging by the current schedule, he would probably have just finished activating the Yao Guang Immortal Mansion where Jian Xing resides, and then he would have to rush to Tian Xuan without stopping.

Wu Chang put the information into his personal space and just then saw Leng Shan and Jian Xing enter the store.

The two sat down, and Wu Chang tapped the table lightly with his fingers. A layer of mystical barrier enveloped the three of them, preventing those around them from hearing what they were saying. Then the two began to talk about the trials of their immortal abode.

The trials of Tianji and Yaoguang's immortal abodes are also divided into five stages, the same as Wu Chang said, the first four stages are all for the purpose of completing the final stage.

It was because of Wu Chang's reminder that the two of them did not rely on overwhelming strength to quickly complete the first four levels, but instead carefully comprehended the intentions of the Immortal Mansion Master, which made it exceptionally easy for them to complete the fifth level.

An Rong's judgment was correct; not every one of the seven immortal abodes possessed a destiny for immortality.

Neither the Tianji nor Yaoguang Immortal Mansions contained any immortal destiny; they only left behind special true meanings. However, compared to ordinary blessings, the items left behind in the Seven Star Immortal Mansions were much more generous.

Leng Shan gleaned a talent from it, while Jian Xing comprehended a set of techniques from it.

Perhaps because there was no affinity with immortals, the fifth trial for Tianji and Yaoguang was far less difficult than that for Tianquan and Kaiyang Immortal Mansion.

The price for the simple test in the fifth level is that they collected all five blessings but failed to trigger the double blessing effect, resulting in a loss of attribute enhancement and resistance to demonic energy.

As for the ancient information that Wu Chang was most concerned about, the two of them did not see it in the special true meaning. They searched the entire immortal mansion and only found some descriptions of the earth-worshiping ceremony and the attack on the demon realm.

Judging from the scenes captured by the two, the cores of the two immortal mansions, Tianji and Yaoguang, are simpler than those of Tianquan and Kaiyang. In the starry sky at the highest level of the immortal mansions, apart from the starlight corresponding to the immortal mansions being exceptionally bright, the other six stars have the same light and are indistinguishable.

As Wu Chang watched the video, he seemed to understand something. He recalled that when he received two more immortal opportunities, he had seen the phantom of the immortal mansion's master.

Perhaps the reason why some immortal abodes did not leave behind any immortal destiny is because the corresponding immortal abodes did not return and died in the demon realm. Only the immortals who survived can return to the immortal abodes and successfully leave behind any immortal destiny.

After discussing the information related to the Immortal Abode, the next step was to talk about the hidden mission that Wu Chang had promised: to explore the Demon Realm.

It is unknown how Emperor Zhaoning communicated with the Human Alliance, but this morning, before his main body left his residence for the Golden Cloud Pavilion, Yin Sheng came to visit again.

He came here representing both the Humanity Alliance and the small group that reopened the Heavenly Gate, hoping that Wu Chang would bring the First Celestial with him when he explored the Demon Realm.

From the perspective of the Humanity Alliance, the Celestials are the main force in breaking through the Demon Realm. The Humanity Alliance needs to understand the Celestials' combat strength and their resistance to demonic energy before the actual battle.

From the perspective of the small group that reopens the Heavenly Gate, when they break through the Demon Realm and seize the Heavenly Gate, there might be conflicts between the Great Xuan cultivators and the Celestials. They must understand the strength of the Celestials.

Not only the first Celestial Being, but the more Celestial Beings they could bring along, the better. Only by understanding the backgrounds of these powerful Celestial Beings could they formulate a plan to seize the Heavenly Gate.

Wu Changben, prioritizing the overall situation, immediately agreed.

So after discussing the situation inside the Immortal Abode, Wu Changzhen briefly introduced Tang Wuchang and An Rong, who were leading the team, to Leng Shan and Jian Xing, and then led the two directly to the location of the main body to join the Demon Realm Exploration Team.

Meanwhile, some distance from Zhenyue City, in a secluded spot where no one was around, beams of light began to flicker.

Ninety players, dressed in various styles, emerged from the light with excitement, rubbing their hands together as they looked at the flashing prompts in front of them.

"Due to the player's outstanding performance in the qualification dungeon, they have entered the world dungeon ahead of schedule. The current phase is the exploration phase. The Jupiter Transcendence dungeon will officially open 48 hours after the dungeon starts."

"You are currently under a blessed state. You will not be harmed if you do not initiate an attack during the initial exploration phase."
