Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

After Chapter 350, I'll be incredibly lucky!

[Currently settling accounts for "Good Fortune".]

You are a born person of great fortune, favored by heaven and earth. Cultivation is as simple for you as eating and drinking, utterly effortless.

"It actually succeeded."

Seeing that Hongyun had been completely captured by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], Lü Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had truly outmaneuvered this Golden Core reincarnation.

'Throughout history, I'm probably the first one like this.'

The reincarnation of a True Lord washes away all traces through the cycle of reincarnation in the Underworld, and can also conceal cause and effect, so no one can calculate it. Theoretically, it is flawless.

But then he encountered a freak like Lü Yang, who didn't bother to calculate at all, but instead followed him through reincarnation, stalked him, and then launched a sneak attack. Even Ang Xiao couldn't do that, since no one but him could keep the divided soul conscious during reincarnation.

'This time, Bai Shishu really got what he wanted.'

Lu Yang stared intently at the lucky soul before him, only to see its entire body radiating golden light as it was being devoured by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] like a wolf.

This golden light appears ordinary.

However, when Lü Yang truly focused his attention on her, he couldn't suppress a surge of desire and involuntarily swallowed hard.
'Golden nature! True Lord, Golden nature.'

'A True Monarch is different from a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator. Their Metal element has been completely fused with their soul, their life force intertwined. The Metal element is the soul, and the soul is the Metal element!'

The more one witnesses that golden light, the more one can sense its mysteries, for it is the result of Hongyun's lifelong cultivation. Not to mention consuming it, even just smelling it will constantly bring forth insights into one's mind. These are all Hongyun's cultivation, his understanding of heaven and earth and the Great Dao.

'No, I have to hold back!'

The next second, Lü Yang abruptly suppressed all his emotions, took a step back, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes: 'It really is an evil thing!'

Not everyone can consume metal.

In particular, the golden nature of the Golden Core True Monarch is the essence of his soul. While consuming it can increase one's cultivation, one will also be gradually assimilated by it.

In the end, who knows if it was you who refined the metal element?

You were assimilated by the metal element.

'This is not something a lower-level cultivator could even dream of.'

'Perhaps only a Golden Core True Monarch with a higher level of cultivation and attainment could stomach this golden essence, such as the Pure Snow True Monarch of the previous life.'

'But it's alright.'

Lu Yang's gaze gradually returned to calm. No matter how powerful True Lord Jin Xing was, facing the [Book of a Hundred Generations] was like throwing an egg against a rock; the two were incomparable.

"Boom!"

Finally, accompanied by a beam of light, the densely packed life trajectory belonging to Hongyun suddenly appeared on the interface of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].

On the other side, Hongyun's soul floated empty in the air, all his thoughts and ideas as if they had never existed, completely disappearing, leaving only an empty shell. Seeing this, Lü Yang dared not be negligent. He rolled up the Myriad Spirit Banner to collect it, and then broke through the void and disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, Lü Yang also took the time to check Hong Yun's background.

'Good fortune, good fortune! No wonder he's called that. This True Lord's early life can probably only be described as having "unparalleled good fortune"!'

A person born with great fortune.

In some ways, he's quite similar to the Innate Immortal; both were blessed by Heaven and Earth, but he was even luckier than the Innate Immortal.

'Because he caught the last train to the gold rush.'

Compared to the era of the innate true man Mu Changsheng, when Hongyun sought gold, the world was far less stagnant than it is now, and there was always room for improvement.

'However, compared to the first half of his life, Hongyun's second half was extremely unlucky. First, he was ambushed by Angxiao and lost a large part of his memory. Then, his Uncle-Master Chongguang appeared out of nowhere and tried to seize his position. In his previous life, he died at the hands of True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue, and in this life, I reversed the situation and killed him.'

Why is this so?
The turning point was the great calamity that occurred five thousand years ago!

A look of understanding dawned on Lü Yang's eyes: 'During that great calamity, Hongyun also benefited from the battle of the Realm Heaven, but he didn't integrate it into his fruition.'

'Instead, it is integrated into one's own inner world!' This is the fundamental reason why Hongyun's later life was so turbulent, extremely unlucky, and everything he did went wrong, and his former good fortune was no more.

This is outrageous!

"You are favored by Heaven and Earth, your destiny and merits far surpass those of ordinary people. It can be said that you are destined to become a True Lord, and Heaven and Earth's support accounts for at least one-third of that. Yet, after you ascended to power, you turned your back on them, refusing to give even a tenth of the benefits you received. It would be strange if Heaven and Earth didn't punish you!"

'However, this can't be blamed on good fortune.'

Generally speaking, the constraints that Heaven and Earth place on a True Lord are already very small. Even if good fortune turns against him, Heaven and Earth can hardly significantly reduce his destiny and merit.

The problem is that there is also [Angxiao].

Through a scheme, Angxiao directly killed Hongyun, giving Heaven and Earth the opportunity to settle scores with this "traitor," and the outcome was self-evident.

'So, if you want to sit still, you need to figure out where you're sitting!'

If you sit in the wrong seat, or if you're sitting in one seat but thinking about another, you'll end up pleasing neither side, and any glory you enjoy will only be temporary.

After his reflection, Lü Yang looked at Hongyun's spirit again.

The "Hundred Generations Book" did not need to devour all the metal elements to settle its accounts, so after it was full, it naturally left the leftovers to Lü Yang.

For a moment, a burning desire resurfaced in Lü Yang's eyes:

'What a treasure!' After being thoroughly cleansed by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], Hongyun's consciousness completely dissipated, leaving only his soul and metal element.

Once he puts on this empty shell, who can tell what he really is?
With a thought, Lü Yang put the outer shell of good fortune over his immortal spirit body. With it, he could even impersonate a True Lord in the future!

'From this day forward, I am blessed with good fortune!'

After all, with the auspicious life experience calculated by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], he didn't have to worry about being exposed at all, and he could answer fluently no matter who came.

Don't forget, Hongju is still alive!
This Grand Master who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment relies entirely on the metal element of Hongyun to live. However, now that Hongyun has been refined by him, he can use this to deceive Hongju!
'And that book, "The Book of Fate and Fortune."'

Lu Yang had long coveted this treasure of the [Covering Lamp Fire] level.

"Besides, I have a powerful ally, Hongju, who acts as my inside man within the Holy Sect. This will also provide me with a way to obtain the [Xin Metal] left behind by my Uncle-Master Chongguang."

However, these still require careful planning.

But right now, there's still a huge haul he hasn't taken stock of yet.

".talent!"

His gaze shifted to the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] interface before him, where the data had finally been calculated and transformed into golden light—

[You have acquired the Golden Talent: Fortune Telling and Lottery Drawing!]

[Fortune-telling by drawing lots: Choose a task you want to do, draw a lot, and if you draw a winning lot, you will receive a corresponding blessing, indicating whether the task will be successful.]

Great fortune: Blessed by Heaven and Earth, success is assured.

[Minor good fortune: Good luck is on your side, and you will reap some rewards.]

[Last auspicious day: Misfortune and fortune are interdependent; success depends on human effort.]

[Minor misfortune: Bad luck is on the horizon, making success difficult.]

[Extremely ominous: Disaster is imminent, and there is no chance of survival!]

"It's actually this kind of talent!"

Looking at the contents of the panel, Lü Yang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood from Hong Yun's life experience why he had developed such a talent.

"It's probably because they've had so much bad luck over the past five thousand years that they've questioned the meaning of life, and nothing they do goes smoothly, so they think they can have their fortune told before doing anything."
