Luck

If Zhang Huan saw any disciples of the Ji Family with improper conduct again, he could execute them on the spot on behalf of the Ji Family and discipline its members.

It would be best to give him a nominal position. The Ji Family would grant him the highest authority, allowing him to handle troublesome disciples in his spare time while also balancing work and rest.

Zhang Huan grumbled inwardly, feeling that the Void Mirror wanted him to act as an elder of the Ji Family's law enforcement for free.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this kid, the Void Mirror, only looked honest.

He told himself that his lifespan was running out and that he would head to the Starry Sky to seek immortal opportunities. He asked the Void Mirror for some coordinates.

These were all places where the Void Mirror had found opportunities in the Starry Sky before, so their value should not be small.

One person and one bird drifted through the universe, traveling to various places.

On the Blazing Sun Star, he collected a handful of Fire Spirit Sap, and on a desolate ancient star, he found Ancestral Dragon Marrow.

He found Divine Phoenix Wood, Water Marrow Mother, and Feather Ascension Original Earth, along with various divine mineral treasures in the Starry Sky.

His footprints were left all over the universe, and he didn't even miss the opportunities on some parts of the Mythological Ancient Road.

On the Other Shore, he found the new Divine Emperor of the Divine Realm and inquired about the Divine Son.

The Divine Emperor's expression was uncertain. Seeing Zhang Huan easily pass through the restrictions, he felt wary and couldn't confirm Zhang Huan's identity. He summoned the Four Swords to protect himself but neither attacked nor responded.

In their understanding, that Great Emperor had already passed away.

Zhang Huan stirred the Emperor's energy, and it descended from afar. The Four Swords hummed softly, sensing the threat.

The Divine Emperor then became certain. He bowed deeply, invited Zhang Huan to take a seat, and admitted his guilt for not recognizing the Great Emperor's presence.

He spoke slowly, explaining that the Divine Son was his great-grandfather. Ever since that day of the Extreme Dao War, when he broke open the Divine Source and participated in the battle with the Four Swords and the Killing Formation Diagram, he had not sealed himself again.

In the remaining nearly a thousand years, he had painstakingly studied a tome. After writing it, he distributed it on various life planets and put a great deal of effort into its promotion.

"Oh? A tome that you still studied even without sealing yourself?"

Zhang Huan listened, becoming a little interested in this tome, wondering what kind of masterpiece it was.

The Divine Emperor immediately pulled a book at random from the mountains of books in the archive and offered it to him.

"Divine Emperor Biography?"

Zhang Huan looked at the cover and murmured in confusion.

He knew of the Divine Emperor and Divine Venerate, but he had never heard of the Divine Emperor.

Putting the book away, Zhang Huan went alone to the Divine Son's tomb to pay his respects. A genius who had achieved a different path had passed away so quietly.

He left the Divine Realm and went to other places to search for Divine Materials.

However, the materials he found could only be used as auxiliary ingredients; the true immortal items were missing.

Items of this level were rare in ancient and modern times. Perhaps only a few remained in the hands of those ancient Supreme Beings.

"I remember there was a Great Saint on the ancient road who was suppressed by a Heavenly Venerate and had his immortal liquid extracted."

Zhang Huan thought as he headed towards the ancient road. However, if he were to actually attack this Saint Spirit, the commotion would not be small and might not be concealable.

If the hawks and dogs of those Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zone caught wind of it, it would be a loss.

The Saint Spirit was sealed right here and could be dealt with at any time, but Zhang Huan suppressed his intentions.

"Forget it, I'll just stake out a Supreme Being for now."

This era was not like the Mythological Era; resources were abundant, and true creations were too rare, almost impossible to find.

Continuing to search was meaningless. In comparison, each Forbidden Zone had its place, and Supreme Beings were like the great medicines of the world. The divine essence in their blood was no less than that of an Immortal Medicine.

It was better to focus on Supreme Beings. Besides the good things they carried, they themselves were divine treasures.

Zhang Huan returned to the Big Dipper and took a position as a guest elder in the Ji Family.

Although called a guest elder, he seemed more like the master of the Ji Family than the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord and the elders had conferred with each other, and they didn't dare to straighten their backs in front of him.

Zhang Huan pretended to be an old man in the Saint Realm and lived in the heart of the Ji Family. He spent his days studying Luck and discussing it with the Void Mirror, and no one disturbed him.

If one could accumulate their own Luck and release it when needed, it could resolve minor calamities and even major ones. This was a unique trick.

If one reached the realm of perfection, they could indeed be blessed by heaven and merge their own being with the Heavenly Dao. At that time, they could point at anyone and they would die.

One could glimpse the principles of this through the divine abilities of the Mysterious Bird.

After evolving for over a thousand years, Zhang Huan achieved some success in this path, deeply understanding its principles.

He already had some ideas in his heart. One day, based on his own understanding, he could create a method that included Luck divination, which would be even more profound than the Mysterious Bird's own divine abilities in this path.

To practice his understanding, Zhang Huan entered the mortal world and became a teacher, observing the Luck of his students daily.

He looked at their growth experiences, their initial Luck, and how it changed at certain points in their lives.

Students came and went in batches. Some found high positions in the county government, some starved, some experienced sudden family misfortunes, and some died prematurely.

He taught for ten years, having hundreds of students. Some students started with similar lives, but made different choices in certain matters, leading to increasingly divergent paths.

The Luck of most students was white. Only a very few were different. This was a difference in quality. Besides this, there was also a difference in thickness.

In the following days, Zhang Huan observed them until their deaths. He then studied the Luck of people throughout a country, including many cultivators, and his comprehension of the Way of Luck deepened.

He took a disciple as a Saint of the Ji Family.

He was a young man whose ancestors were farmers. From birth, his soul power was stronger than others his age, even surpassing some mortal martial arts grandmasters. His talent was extraordinary.

He was a seed for cultivating a single secret realm. Zhang Huan passed down a set of Immortal Platform Realm cultivation techniques he compiled himself, maximizing the experimentation of his theories.

The secret realms of the human body are the source of a cultivator's power and the beginning of their practice. If one can stimulate the potential of these realms more, the cultivator's own potential will also be stronger.

For those with mediocre aptitude, the Sea of Suffering is a dead silence, while for those with Saintly Bodies, it is golden, with tsunamis reaching the heavens and sounds like thunder.

Ordinary people have a single Life Spring, but Spirit Treasures possess nine Life Springs. Each difference represents a stronger foundation, manifesting in their secret realms.

Although the paths of cultivation are different, all great Daos converge to the same destination. Regardless of the system, excavating and opening up deeper levels of one's own potential is an effective method.

Of course, the prerequisite is to successfully open a new path and survive.

During the process of opening up the treasures within the human body, a single misstep can ruin one's potential. It is extremely dangerous and requires countless attempts to grasp that sliver of opportunity.

Although Zhang Huan had ideas, his cultivation realm was too high, and his secret realms were already formed, making them impossible to reshape.

Only cultivators who have just begun their practice can realize these ideas, as secret realms are most malleable when they are first opened.

He could first use others to test the waters and see if his understanding of secret realms was feasible.

He had plenty of cannon fodder to fill in the data. As long as he kept experimenting, he would eventually figure out a roughly feasible path.

He had to minimize the role of luck as much as possible and rely on quantity. Cultivation is not something to be taken lightly, or one day you will fail.

He threw disciples who cultivated the Immortal Platform Realm into a certain star domain, with the intention that they would return to the Big Dipper after achieving success in their cultivation in the future.

Zhang Huan went to other star domains and took in dozens more disciples, respectively passing down single-secret realm cultivation methods for the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform realms.

Each person was a genius in cultivating a single secret realm, and Zhang Huan specifically let them roam freely across the universe.

He didn't need flowers in a greenhouse. These individuals were pioneers in opening up secret realms and needed to be tempered with blood. Protecting them would only lead to failure and waste his time.

"Counting the days, it's been over a thousand years. When will the Supreme Being emerge?"

Zhang Huan calculated with his fingers but couldn't deduce anything.

"They can really hide."

"This star domain seems to have a Great Saint who has succeeded in cultivating a single secret realm. Let's go see his secret realm."

The next chapter will conclude this life.
