Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 88 The Arrangement of Fate

With his soul power restored, Huo Yuhao also adjusted his condition.

It felt like the power of the Eye of Truth was a bit stronger than before, although it couldn't compare to the state it was in after awakening its Martial Soul and being empowered by the Eye of Truth.

However, it is much closer than expected, and it is much faster than waiting for the power of the second awakening of a Gold-level Martial Soul to slowly integrate into the Martial Soul itself under natural conditions.

At the same time, the effect of the Eye of Truth seems to have been subtly enhanced, allowing one to see more clearly than before.

Moreover, now that he has found the direction for the future, Huo Yuhao is naturally not afraid of losing his way. Therefore, he can first use the Eye of Truth Martial Soul as a foundation to build a framework for his own Martial Soul.

There's no need to make it too fancy; just build it with a pure mental attribute structure. After all, it will need to be gradually replaced with a 'point' structure later.

However, Huo Yuhao himself is currently unsure when he will be able to fully analyze the structure of the 'point' before he can begin to build it.

Therefore, in order to support the analysis of "points", it is best to focus on improving one's own cultivation.

In any case, the analysis process does indeed consume soul power and mental energy. Therefore, improving one's strength and realm will only benefit the analysis process.

However, now that the Eye of Truth has become even stronger, Huo Yuhao wants to try his hand at actively interfering with the power of fate.

As mentioned before, contact between people can cause their energies to become intertwined and influence each other.

However, with the collision of their respective destinies, the changes that actually occur are difficult to predict.

However, through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao was able to temporarily understand a portion of the threads of the power of destiny.

The Eye of Truth opened once more, and from behind Huo Yuhao, the enormous vertical pupil saw countless scattered golden specks of light floating in the 'air'.

In reality, unlike elements, these golden specks intertwine to form the threads of destiny. They do not exist in the actual environment, but rather on the broader foundation of the world.

On Huo Yuhao's body, several lines that were no longer dotted lines made of light points, but rather solid golden veins, wrapped around him, then extended outwards and merged into the air, their ends becoming ethereal, making it difficult to discern what they ultimately wrapped around.

Besides these, there are also many dotted lines made up of light points connected to Huo Yuhao's body. There are a great many of these dotted lines, and these are the connections of fate formed by people who are related to Huo Yuhao, but not closely.

Finally, there's Huo Yuhao himself. The accumulation of immense fortune makes him appear like a small sun, continuously radiating golden light from the perspective of the Eye of Truth, which observes destiny.

Through the discernment of the Eye of Truth, irrelevant threads of fate are concealed, while more important threads of fate are diluted.

Huo Yuhao found that solid line, symbolizing the thread connecting his fate with that of many disciples of the Body Sect.

Then, tracing back from Huo Yuhao himself, this solid thread of destiny was gradually dismantled from the perspective of the Eye of Truth.

The largest number of them were the Destiny Points represented by a group of Body Sect disciples, but although they were huge, they were not solid.

Because of their strength and the fortune they carried, they were considered "part" of the Body Sect, but they did not have their own unique mark and could not stand alone.

Next are outstanding disciples of the Body Sect like Long Aotian. Their luck intersects with Huo Yuhao at various points, but they are not yet considered to be on the upper line.

Then there are the powerful titled elders of the Body Sect. Although not always the case, in most cases, their strength is often linked to the power of their own destiny.

After all, which Title Douluo's growth experience isn't legendary? It's just a matter of degree, strength or weakness, but becoming a Title Douluo is enough to distinguish them from ordinary people.

They represent dotted lines, tightly bound together by Huo Yuhao's status as the young sect master of the Body Sect. The thickest and most solid of these, and the most closely associated with Huo Yuhao, are the Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng and the Body Douluo Du Busi.

What Huo Yuhao wanted to do next was to unravel the dotted lines belonging to the Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng within the threads of fate.

The Golden Body Douluo went out during this period to help Huo Yuhao search for a suitable Soul Master for his fourth Soul Ring. This action, which is closely related to Huo Yuhao's future development, will inevitably touch upon Huo Yuhao's enormous fortune.

Just like before, when he went to hunt down the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant for Huo Yuhao, he was quite lucky. He first stumbled upon Di Tian's series of actions upon arriving at Sun Moon City, and then he was not discovered.

Then, he successfully hunted down the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant in the Demon Forest, and even after angering the Evil Emperor, he was able to escape unscathed.

This was the result of the instinctive feedback from Huo Yuhao's already immense power of fortune, which had been triggered.

What Huo Yuhao needs to do now is to use the Eye of Truth to actively control the power of destiny, and transmit his own power of fortune along the dotted line connecting him to the Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng, so that the latter's journey will be smoother.

However, the power of fortune is constant; if one side has more, the other side will naturally have less.

Those who control the power of destiny cannot mobilize their own fundamental fortune; what they can mobilize is the fortune of all living beings influenced by them.

Just like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's innate soul skill, the Gaze of Fate, while suppressing or amplifying the target's luck, its own original luck power will not fluctuate.

What she was actually mobilizing was the immense power of fortune bestowed upon her by the connection between the thousands of soul beasts belonging to the Star Dou Great Forest and her identity as the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Huo Yuhao is in the same situation now. The mobilization of the power of destiny will not affect him. He is using the half of the power of destiny that was transferred to him from the Star Dou Great Forest after being guided by attributes.

This is why he didn't send the Golden Body Douluo to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest; after all, it would be rather impolite and unsafe.

In the Starry Sky Forest.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised its head, as if it had just sensed a slight fluctuation in the power of destiny within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although it was subtle, it was directly related to her after all, and coupled with the mysterious contractual connection she had with Huo Yuhao, she was able to capture this moment.

However, because Huo Yuhao was too careful, he only extracted a wisp of the immense fortune power of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the whole process was extremely fast.

Therefore, she was unable to perceive Huo Yuhao's specific actions or location. She didn't even know why Huo Yuhao was doing this, so she couldn't stop him.

For several days in a row, after Huo Yuhao finished analyzing the 'point', he would extract a wisp of luck power from the Star Dou Great Forest, transfer it through himself, and transfer it to the Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng.

Ten strands make one thread, ten strands make one line, and ten lines make one path. After transferring nine strands of fortune power to the Golden-bodied Douluo Golden Roc, Huo Yuhao did not take any further action. After all, the fortune power of the Star Dou Great Forest was not his alone.

Too many resources being mobilized can actually cause problems.

Three more days passed, and the Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng finally returned to his sect.

For some reason, despite being blessed with good fortune, he, who should have been doing well in everything, appeared extremely disheveled.

His body was covered in wounds, though they hadn't penetrated his physique, they were still full of cuts formed by ice and snow, which were difficult to remove even with his level 96 Body Sect Super Douluo cultivation.

In his hand, he held a small, five-tailed white fox with lively eyes, and at the base of each tail, there were two rings of gold patterns.

Carrying the white fox, the Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng went directly to Huo Yuhao's training room.

Unlike regular silver foxes, silver foxes do not have multiple tails depending on their age. Their age is determined by the length of their whiskers and their body shape.

The older the silver fox, the larger its size will be. However, after it exceeds 10,000 years, its size will start to shrink and its color will change.

It is said that the Silver Fox's lineage can be traced back to the legendary Silver Dragon King, who possessed the ability to manipulate and control elements through mental power.

However, it is said that only a Silver Fox King of the 100,000-year level has the possibility of realizing this legend. After all, the Silver Fox is not considered to have a very powerful bloodline among soul beasts. It can only be said to be related to the Silver bloodline.

This five-tailed white fox is clearly different; it is a rare, exotic spirit fox, similar to the golden hawksbill turtle in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it cannot be called the emperor of all spirit beasts in the gathering place of spirit beasts, it is a rare and exotic spirit fox.

However, it is also a symbol of good fortune, possessing considerable luck. Ordinary humans would find it unlikely to even catch a glimpse of it, let alone capture it.

This kind of spirit fox can only grow one tail every hundred years. After growing nine tails, it will take another hundred years to unify the nine tails into one. The golden pattern at the base of its tail symbolizes that the nine tails have been unified once.

When one breaks through to the thousand-year mark, it takes a thousand years of cultivation to regenerate a tail. However, this tail with golden patterns has the function of taking someone's place in death.

In times of crisis, the spirit fox can sever its tail to survive and restore itself to its full strength. When it cultivates to the ten-thousand-year level, it is the same as the thousand-year level, with its nine tails returning to one, and a second round of golden patterns appearing at the base of its tail.

The life force and soul power stored in this tail, combined with the blessing of luck, are enough to allow the spirit fox to survive a great calamity of two hundred thousand years.

Every ten thousand years thereafter, the spirit fox will regenerate one tail, until it has nine tails.

It will not encounter any bottlenecks in becoming a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Every 100,000 years thereafter, a golden pattern will be added to the tail of the spirit fox, symbolizing that it has become stronger.

Before the Dragon God's fall, when Douluo Star was not sealed off by the rules of the God Realm, the Spirit Fox Clan was undoubtedly a divine beast clan, second only to the Dragon Clan commanded by the Dragon God.

However, cultivation is difficult for spirit foxes. Their 50,000-year cultivation level requires them to endure 50,000 years in the real world, and they cannot quickly improve their cultivation level by consuming rare and precious materials.

Therefore, in the current world of soul beasts, with the end of the Dragon God War, it is now difficult to find spirit foxes that are over 100,000 years old.

Even if there are occasional instances of fox bloodlines reverting to their ancestral form, their spirit fox bloodline is difficult to sustain, as it is simply too rare.

Without the protection of its own kind, it is extremely difficult for a spirit fox to live for more than 100,000 years. Every time it escapes from being hunted, its cultivation level is greatly damaged, and it has to start all over again.

"Cough cough, I almost died in this far north." Jinpeng's old face was a little distorted. He originally thought that encountering the five-tailed spirit fox was a great thing.

After all, he had only heard of such auspicious beasts in legends, and their cultivation level was so suitable that it could be said to have been tailor-made for their young sect leader, Huo Yuhao.

But unexpectedly, this tiny 50,000-year-old fox was more troublesome than some 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

He fled and was pursued, and actually penetrated deep into the core area of ​​the far north. If it weren't for... he probably would have really died there.

"Yuhao, this is a five-tailed spirit fox, a legendary auspicious beast. I didn't capture it, but for some reason, it willingly came with me to see you."

"The fact that he even offered to become your spirit ring is quite strange. You should be very careful. If you feel something is wrong, I will send this fox back to the far north and search for other spirit beasts for you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and looked at the cunning five-tailed white fox. Seeing Huo Yuhao's gaze, the fox actually stood up, put its front paws together, and made a bowing gesture, its eyes revealing a hint of pleading.

Although Huo Yuhao was somewhat unsure of its thoughts, he was able to see through its mind through the Eye of Truth.

"You want to become my spirit ring? Why?"

Huo Yuhao asked it directly, and the spirit fox responded with a loud howl.

After a while, Huo Yuhao understood that it was due to the power of luck.

As an auspicious beast, although not as powerful as the imperial auspicious beast, the spirit fox still possesses some ability to control and influence the power of destiny.

Through the Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng, this spirit fox saw Huo Yuhao's "existence". The reason it voluntarily became Huo Yuhao's soul ring was because it wanted to use Huo Yuhao's luck to help the far north.

Originating from the far north, although it is not considered an imperial auspicious beast of the far north, its fortune is still closely related to the far north. If it were to become Huo Yuhao's soul ring through sacrifice...

Therefore, the immense power of fortune on Huo Yuhao's body will naturally become entangled with the far north, thus aiding the power of the far north.

As for why the far north needs external help, Huo Yuhao has a pretty good idea of ​​why.
