Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 98 The Power of Innate Divine-Level Comprehension!

Su Chen closed his eyes, comprehending the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit while waiting for the cooldown of the teleportation to end.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was afternoon.

Su Chen walked out of the wooden house, and under the strange gazes of the servant disciples outside, he led Da Huang toward the Scripture Pavilion.

He planned to see if there were any good Taoist methods in the library to fill the gaps in his knowledge of Taoism.

Although with his current level of understanding, he is already capable of creating things based on his intuition, it still takes some time. It's not as convenient as using something immediately.

Soon, the ancient and magnificent library came into view.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the copper bells on the eaves jingled softly, their sound clear and melodious.

Su Chen entered the Scripture Pavilion, ignoring the strange looks from the servants and disciples inside, and began searching for Taoist scriptures.

Soon, he discovered that the scripture library of this menial disciple did not contain many Taoist scriptures, and most of them were ones he did not need.

However, he still found three decent Taoist techniques among them.

The Spirit Rain Technique can not only summon rain, but also accelerate the growth of spiritual plants. It is one of the essential Taoist techniques that sect servants and spiritual farmers must learn.

The requirements for learning this Taoist art are very low; one only needs to comprehend the first volume of the Taoist scripture.

The other two Taoist techniques have similar requirements: Five Elements Spiritual Shield and Healing Technique.

After casually glancing at the three Daoist techniques and making a brief deduction, Su Chen received a notification in his mind.

[Five Elements Spirit Shield Basics, Comprehension +4]

[Introduction to Healing Techniques, Comprehension +6]

Feeling that the progress of these three Dao techniques was still increasing rapidly, and that they would soon be mastered, Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he began to experience the power of his innate divine-level comprehension.

Just then, as he was about to step away, he glanced at the spot.

On the old bookshelf next to him, a dusty, ancient scroll suddenly caught his eye, radiating a great attraction.

"This is?"

Slightly puzzled, Su Chen picked up the scroll and began to read it.

The Book of Fortune

Su Chen softly recited, "Misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself. Destiny is neither real nor illusory, it cannot be grasped, it cannot be seen, yet it is like a spring breeze that secretly passes through all things—"

"Ordinary people are unaware of its cycle, those who cultivate themselves have some sense of it, and only the most refined know that it can be increased and grown."

Soon, after reading through the entire Daoist text, Su Chen's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

"This is actually a Daoist technique with no learning threshold, which anyone can cultivate, and which can increase one's luck after successful cultivation?!"

'

He even saw a description in this Book of Fortune that if one could cultivate the Book of Fortune to perfection, one could become a being called the Child of Destiny!

Turn misfortune into good fortune, be blessed by Heaven, and be successful in everything you do!

Looking at these descriptions, Su Chen's expression turned serious.

With his innate, divine-level comprehension, he analyzed, dissected, reassembled, and deduced the contents of the Heavenly Book of Transformation in his mind.

"Something's not right with this Taoist text!"

If it were an ordinary person, or even an ordinary genius, they would naturally not notice anything amiss.

However, possessing an innate divine level of comprehension, he was able to analyze all the secrets of this Daoist technique after only a slight understanding of it.

According to his calculations, this Book of Fortune-Changing can indeed increase one's luck, but it doesn't grow out of thin air; rather, it borrows luck from a certain being.

However, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

In his analysis, once one cultivates this Heavenly Book of Fortune, some of the fortune one possesses after death will belong to that being!

Furthermore, Su Chen deduced that the being who borrowed the Qi Luck could secretly manipulate the fortune of those who cultivated the Heavenly Book of Fortune.

It can turn a person into a lucky charm or a jinx!

In other words, the being who borrows the power of destiny indirectly controls the life and death of those who cultivate this Book of Fortune.

"Is this a Taoist technique for fishing?!"

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt a strange shadow loom over him, as if some being was lurking in the shadows, watching him greedily.

He never expected that the seemingly ethereal and righteous Haoran Immortal Sect would actually have such underhanded tricks.

"Is this how all cultivation is done? They devour people without spitting out the bones?"

Su Chen frowned and began to think.

If it weren't for his innate divine-level comprehension, he might have actually fallen for it!

He couldn't help but wonder if this was just a coincidence, or if someone had ulterior motives.

This book of good fortune was clearly placed here intentionally; it's just unclear whether it's aimed at him or someone else.

"Strange, how come anyone noticed me?"

"On the surface, I'm just an ordinary handyman disciple with a little bit of talent—"

Su Chen was puzzled and immediately thought of the Xuan Tian Mirror.

He has a state of returning to simplicity, and with his extraordinary immortal appearance, he has not truly returned to his original state. Under normal circumstances, no one should notice him.

Unless the information revealed by the Mysterious Heaven Mirror —

The next moment, Su Chen shook his head again.

During this time, he had also vaguely heard about the Xuan Tian Mirror and knew that it was the supreme treasure of the Hao Ran Immortal Sect and had supreme authority within the sect.

As long as he does not agree to reveal his identity, no one in the Haoran Immortal Sect can investigate his true information.

Su Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It could be a coincidence, it could be revenge from the Gu family's main branch, or it could be that I've been implicated by someone else—"

"It seems I must accelerate my efforts to improve my strength, otherwise—"

Su Chen's eyes showed apprehension.

After thinking all this over, Su Chen looked at the Book of Fortune in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face. He even carefully looked around.

Hiding in a corner, he carefully flipped through the scroll for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, he pretended to be reluctant and stuffed the scroll into the deepest part of the bookshelf.

Then, he turned and left the library, heading towards his wooden hut.

However, just as he turned to leave the library, the scroll of the Book of Fortune that he had hidden deep inside the bookshelf suddenly became transparent and then disappeared.

Inner sect of Haoran Immortal Sect.

The mountains stand tall, shrouded in white mist, exuding a rich spiritual energy and ethereal beauty, making it a truly magnificent sight.

On the mountainside of Danfeng, there is a cave.

A handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen, with a tall and straight figure, opened his eyes.

Su Hao let out a long breath, a smile appearing in his eyes.

With his minor mastery of breathing techniques, coupled with the rich spiritual energy of the inner sect's Dan Peak, he now possessed more than thirty complete streams of magical power within his body!

As if thinking of something, his eyes turned cold.

Su Hao couldn't help but think of his older brother, who was currently serving as a menial disciple at the Eighty-Nine Peaks.

"My dear brother, after I cultivate for a while longer, I will go to the Eighty-Nine Peaks and let you experience what despair truly means!"

Su Hao's eyes were cold, but a hint of excitement appeared in them.

He was already impatient to see his beloved elder brother, and to see the astonishment on his face after witnessing the cultivation level he had displayed.

Their expressions were filled with despair and disbelief.

It must be wonderful!

Su Hao thought excitedly.

at the same time.

Deeper into the Haoran Immortal Sect.

In a place where spiritual energy grows ever stronger, a solitary mountain peak pierces the clouds and stands silently.

The mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, and a faint spiritual light flows around it all year round. Outsiders cannot even get close without permission.

This is the exclusive mountain peak of a Golden Core True Monarch.

On the summit.

A tranquil blue lake stretches out before you.

The lake water is crystal clear and unfathomably deep, reflecting the sky and clouds. Occasionally, a gentle breeze will ripple across the water.

Lakeside.

A natural bluestone lies horizontally.

A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the rock.

He wore a sky-blue robe, the fabric of which seemed ordinary, yet it was faintly covered with intricate Taoist runes. The cuffs and hem swayed gently in the mountain breeze, as if breathing in sync with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The man was handsome with a calm demeanor. A few strands of white hair at his temples added to his depth and majesty.

He kept his aura contained, and even when he was just sitting there quietly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him naturally gathered towards him.

The lake water was unusually calm within a radius of several feet around him.

A middle-aged man held a thin fishing rod, the fishing line dangling into the lake and disappearing into the depths.

There were no magical fluctuations, no Taoist guidance; it was as if he were truly fishing like an ordinary person.

Occasionally, fish shadows could be seen swimming on the lake's surface, but they never approached the fishing hook.

The middle-aged man was not impatient; instead, his gaze was gentle, and a faint smile played on his lips.

"Fish, oh fish—"

"You'd better grow up quickly, and then take the bait quickly—"

The middle-aged man shifted his gaze slightly, looking towards the direction of the Inner Sect's Dan Peak and the Miscellaneous Service Peak. His tone was meaningful, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.

A faint smile played on the lips of the middle-aged man.

The lake surface rippled gently.

It was as if something was gently moving underwater and about to take the bait.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was the afternoon of the second day.

Inside the wooden house.

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 31962 (Born Divine, Extremely Rare Throughout History)]

Su Chen opened his eyes and looked at the panel.

After more than a day, he had comprehended all four Taoist methods in the Sutra Repository to perfection.

The Spirit Rain Technique, from beginner to mastery, adds a total of 68 points of comprehension. The others are about the same, except that the Fortune Book increases comprehension the most.

Although the Book of Fortune is a Taoist technique with hidden backdoors, it does not prevent him from comprehending it, or even improving it.

-

Most importantly, Su Chen glimpsed a trace of the Dao of Cause and Effect within this Dao technique.

Perhaps, this method can be used to condense the rudiments of the Dao of Cause and Effect?

The rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit of Cause and Effect is one of the rudimentary forms of the Dao Fruit of Reincarnation, which is a composite and condensed form of the Dao Fruit of Reincarnation!

Su Chen closed his eyes and continued to study the Book of Fortune, comprehending the profound mysteries of cause and effect contained within it.

However, before he could comprehend it for long, an arrogant shout from a young man came from outside the wooden house, shaking the house and scattering dust.

"Get out here, you bastard!"

Su Chen frowned as he opened his eyes and looked outside. Through the wooden door, he saw the arrogant young man outside.

The discussions among the miscellaneous disciples reached his ears, and he overheard several important pieces of information.

"Is this Gu Mingzhe?!"

"Hiss, that's the one currently ranked number one among the menial disciples? I heard he's already reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage?!"

"His surname is Gu, could he be...?"

"Tsk, this is going to be a disaster for Su Chen's menial disciple—"

The servant disciples discussed the situation with a mixture of shock and schadenfreude.
