Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

The Four-eyed Python Emperor indeed immobilized Tang Xiaotang and the Pure Yang Boat, but conversely, he immobilized himself, losing the last chance to dodge and evade.

Lei Jun had exhausted a significant amount of mana, but he seized the moment without wasting a bit.

From the Miniature Bag given by his junior brother Chu Kun, he took out a piece of luminous white jade, held it in his palm, and quickly absorbed spiritual power from it. Meanwhile, his other hand instinctively used the power of the Dark Side of the Celestial Book to clear the surroundings.

Lei Jun’s Dual Polarity Immortal Body naturally restores mana quickly, and by absorbing spiritual power from the luminous white jade, his dry mana rapidly recovered.

Lei Jun’s current cultivation realm and supernatural powers far exceed those of Chu Kun.

The treasures Chu Kun accumulated for daily mana recovery struggle to keep up with Lei Jun’s consumption.

It’s the same for Tang Xiaotang.

Therefore, the Miniature Bag given to Lei Jun this time was another treasured piece.

Inside are the spiritual objects that Chu Kun personally uses, prepared for his Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Layer.

As he said, the battle’s impact is significant, so it’s necessary to use things wisely, using the finest steel on a different blade in advance.

Lei Jun didn’t mind, as he indeed needed to promptly recover mana for the next action.

Just at this moment, a light orb suddenly flashed in his mind, displaying words:

[Sumi Vajra movement, learn from nature, Bluestone Drop Yellow Springs, between heartbeats.]

Following this were four fate signs, and when Lei Jun saw them, he raised his eyebrows.

Because, for the first time, he saw the words "top fate" in the fate signs:

[The best lot, hurry to the Western Regions Vajra Temple Gate, manage well and you have the chance for one top fate, with further developments, properly handle minor turbulence with no consequences, great luck!]

[Moderately good lot, go to the Northern Apricot Mountain of Longdong, manage well and you have the chance for second fate, current turbulence rises and falls, later entangled cause and effect, possible pitfalls, handle cautiously, luck.]

[Moderately good lot, go to Yunzhou Hanging Heaven Mountain, manage well and you have the chance for third fate, no risks no consequences, luck.]

[Perfectly neutral lot, go to Diamond Temple, apart from Northern Apricot Mountain, Hanging Sky Mountain, no extra gains nor losses, neutral.]

Well, one best lot, two moderately good lots, this time his luck has indeed exploded... Lei Jun thought.

The third lot mentions Yunzhou Hanging Heaven Mountain, where the Xuantian Temple Gate is located.

According to the fate sign description, no risks no consequences, this almost predicts the result of this battle.

Regarding the Yunzhou battle, Lei Jun could ease his mind completely.

The second lot refers to the Northern Apricot Mountain of Longdong.

Lei Jun didn’t know where exactly Northern Apricot Mountain was.

But judging by the broad scope of Longdong, the battle between Tang Xiaotang and the Vajra Sect Leader is happening there.

The second fate should be on the side of Vajra Sect Leader Garuda.

The current minor risks are needless to mention.

After all, the Vajra Sect Leader is a Buddhist Sect expert with Ninth Heavenly Layer perfection.

Back in Nanzhao, the Mount Shu Sect Leader Ji Yao, who achieved Ninth Heavenly Layer perfection, relied on the Netherworld-established Great Yin-Yang Nine Palaces Immortal Array to outmaneuver the Vajra Sect Leader.

And as for the future consequences mentioned in the moderately good lot, Lei Jun didn’t know where they’d land.

Lei Jun then looked at the first lot.

That’s yet another choice from his original plan.

Directly strike at the Vajra Temple Gate.

Sumi Vajra movement, learn from nature, Bluestone Drop Yellow Springs, between heartbeats...

Could this mean my comprehension has risen from Serene Insight to nature’s final opportunity, the Bluestone Drop Yellow Springs treasure, is found here?

One top fate, can be further expanded... Lei Jun pondered.

After thinking for a while, he made up his mind.

Lei Jun, while recovering mana, donned the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat and proceeded carefully.

On the way, he first arrived at the Northern Apricot Mountain of Longdong.

But he didn’t do anything; he just informed his junior sister Tang Xiaotang of his related decisions.

Then, Lei Jun continued westward, toward the Western Regions.

On the journey, Lei Jun could sense an increasingly intense upheaval within the Great Tang territory.

The full rivers and mountains earth veins seemed to be undergoing great transformations consequently.

The Yunzhou battle has clearly reached a pivotal moment.

And as Lei Jun stepped into the Western Regions, leaving the Great Tang territory behind, this upheaval significantly diminished.

......

On the Yunzhou side.

The White Light manifested mountain and river continued to undulate.

Outside Yunzhou, whether Great Tang cultivators or Middle People of the Solitary Eagle Khanate, all were shaken to the core.

This Northern Country war’s final decisive battlefield remains here.

Suddenly, the White Light manifested mountain, for a moment, fell silent.

While the trembling within the Great Tang territory outside Yunzhou still lingered, the White Light rivers and mountains enveloping Yunzhou’s sky gradually began to dissipate.

After a brief standstill, both Great Tang cultivators and the Solitary Eagle Khanate martial artists began to converge towards Yunzhou.

Having always kept vigil outside the White Light mountain and river, Chu Yu and company were the first to enter Yunzhou’s boundaries.

Overall, the damage and impact here appeared less severe than expected.

Soon, Chu Yu and company first encountered some Great Tang cultivators.

These were cultivators initially withdrawn from the Yin Mountain defense line via the central route, led by Xuantian Temple’s Abbot, Master Ning Ru.

"Mercy from Buddha."

Master Ning Ru looked towards Hanging Sky Mountain: "His Majesty has decreed us to scatter across regions, protecting Yunzhou’s civilians from war impacts; regarding the current state at Hanging Sky Mountain, we know not."

Chu Yu: "Thank you, Abbot and everyone; we shall act according to His Majesty’s decree."
