She didn't actually change anything; the formation still functioned normally. She simply changed the divination result from her to Bai Ling this time.
Bai Lan had previously suspected that True Lord Suiyun might have some means to absorb other people's luck, and this idea had been confirmed. This thought had been lingering in Bai Lan's mind for days, like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
She didn't like passively waiting for results. Since she had a guess and had Elder Fu as her protector, she might as well verify it. Only after getting a definite answer would she feel much more at ease.
After all, since entering the world of cultivation, her outward appearance has been too heaven-defying. She has almost never lost a battle, never failed to turn the tables, had countless fortuitous opportunity, and even her cultivation has broken through at a rapid pace. Everything has been terrifyingly smooth for her.
But she had no choice but to do so, because if she didn't stop the looting and plundering, the growth rate of the Child of Destiny would be even faster than the insectoids' egg-laying and reproduction.
She was just racing against time, trying her best to survive in the Child of Destiny, even though she was running a bit too fast... but what's wrong with wanting to live!
Moreover, she usually disguises herself when she does these things. In particular, under normal circumstances, Nascent Soul Cultivator would never even glance at an ant below the Foundation Establishment.
But Sui Yun is not a normal person. She's paying so much attention to herself! Not only herself, she's even paying attention to Long Aotian and Bai Ling.
This woman knows too much; it's as if she's deliberately searching for someone with great fortune.
The reason she hasn't made a move yet is probably because Sui Yun couldn't accurately predict her fate and dared not act rashly, which is why she hasn't revealed her true intentions yet.
Therefore, Bai Lan decided to strike first and at least find out the woman's true intentions so that he would be confident in dealing with her if they turned against each other in the future.
Sure enough, shortly after Bai Lan left the main hall, True Lord Suiyun once again raised his hand to summon the array within the hall and began calculating as usual.
She thought the divination results this time would be the same as usual, just a complete mess with no progress, but she was surprised to find that the divination results obtained from the Six Harmonies Insight Array were quite unexpected.
True Lord Suiyun stared intently at the dense purple purple qi about to overflow from the center of the formation and the strings of runes that kept rotating around the formation. A wave of wild joy surged in True Lord Suiyun's eyes, and his uncontrollable excitement was too intense. It was as if he was about to rush out and devour Bai Lan in the next moment.
Indeed, this is the truth; that's what True Lord Suiyun thought, and that's exactly what he did.
"Oh no, oh no, Bai Lan, what exactly are those runes you made me change?! The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has burst out!!!" After sensing the aura surging out of the main hall, the Elder Fu was shocked and screamed in Bai Lan's mind, almost breaking his voice.
Bai Lan frowned and pressed her ears, suddenly feeling a tingling sensation in her head.
"What are you still standing there for?! Run! Hurry! I will do everything in my power to help you. At least you can leave the Hidden Dragon Abyss in an instant. After that, go into the Void Stone and hide there for decades!" Elder Fu said anxiously.
Bai Lan shook her head. After leaving the main hall, she had no intention of leaving. She had been waiting for True Lord Suiyun's actions.
If Sui Yun takes action after seeing the divination result of the purple qi aura soaring into the sky, it means that Bai Lan's guess was correct. This woman does indeed want to absorb the fortune of the person with great fortune, and then we will know how to deal with her in the future.
If Suiyun doesn't take any action, it means her target is something else entirely.
"Ahhh, if you're going to die, don't drag me down with you! If all else fails, return my life Primordial Spirit, and I'll escape on my own!"
"Shut up. Even Sui Yun's aura is much gentler than your voice." After saying that, Bai Lan added, "If I'm not mistaken, this woman won't kill me for now. She wants something else."
"..." Elder Fu gradually quieted down.
In the distance, True Lord Suiyun had already rushed in front of Bai Lan. Her expression was manic, and she was overjoyed. Without explaining anything, she grabbed Bai Lan by the collar and rushed into the main hall, where she began to set up an array with lightning speed.
Bai Lan remained silent, simply watching her actions, and together with Elder Fu, he meticulously recorded the array she had set up and the materials she used along the way.
"What kind of formation is this? I've never seen anything like it before." Elder Fu studied it while taking notes.
Bai Lan also looked surprised. "She must have created it herself?"
"Possibly," Elder Fu nodded in agreement. "So what exactly does she want to do to you!"
"This woman believes I am a person favored by Heavenly Dao and wants to absorb my luck," Bai Lan said calmly.
You can inhale, you can inhale.
She was afraid that after Sui Yun, with his Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, absorbed all her malevolent Sha Qi, a tenfold Spirit Transformation Tribulation would descend from the sky and send her to her death.
Elder Fu was caught in a mental whirlwind. "What, say it again?"
" Elder Fu, are you getting old and your hearing isn't what it used to be? Forget it, you should just play with your fists." Bai Lan said, then looked at the magic array in front of him again.
"How disrespectful you are, little girl!! Be careful you don't incur divine retribution." Elder Fu once again pondered Bai Lan's words.
Absorbing luck?
Impossible, such a thing could never happen.
Fortune and destiny are like fate, predetermined by heaven.
Even though most cultivators consider themselves to be extraordinary beings who defy the heavens, what power can a mere minor cultivator possibly have to retaliate against such a colossal entity as the Heavenly Dao?
But compared to Elder Fu's opposition, Bai Lan was more convinced that True Lord Suiyun truly possessed this ability.
"Based on my past experiences, the Heavenly Dao of this world is not a person, nor some non-human creature. It is more like a conscious rule or conceptual god. The Heavenly Dao only uses rules to correct the trajectory of this world itself. Its most powerful means is nothing more than tribulation lightning."
The tribulation lightning happened to be something Bai Lan feared the least.
Otherwise, given what Bai Lan did, if the Heavenly Dao were truly a living being, she would have been crushed a thousand times over long ago.
"Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is not something that cannot be defied. Sometimes, one can try to exploit the rules and find loopholes." Bai Lan smiled slightly.
These words are all based on her experience.
This was indeed a bombshell for Elder Fu.
Elder Fu fell into deep thought, and after a long while he finally spoke, "I think I know why you are targeting Long Aotian."
Bai Lan may be extraordinary, but Long Aotian's cultivation aptitude is also extraordinary.
" The Nascent Soul cultivator are all intelligent, but the Heavenly Dao is not fair. Why is it that only those born under the Child of Destiny can attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality, while those cultivators who have cultivated for tens of millions of years have to die tragically under the tribulation of lightning and become food?" Bai Lan said in a low voice, " Elder Fu, think carefully about what I have to say."
Elder Fu silence, Elder Fu finally spoke, "But in my eyes, you are no different from Long Aotian. The only difference is that you are stronger than him."
"No, Long Aotian is a person favored by the Heavenly Dao, while I am a person who will one day replace the Heavenly Dao."
The implication was that following Long Aotian didn't guarantee their ascension.
But if you join her in rebellion, everyone can ascend to heaven.
The promise was a bit too good to be true, Elder Fu couldn't stomach it, but he didn't argue.
"You don't seem surprised at all." Perhaps Bai Lan's silence was too strange, because Sui Yun, who was setting up an array in the distance, suddenly laughed, "Don't you want to know what I'm doing?"
"You want to seize my fortune. This formation is very similar to the Six Harmonies Insight Array. It seems you were prepared all along." Bai Lan's voice remained as calm as ever.
True Lord Suiyun's expression changed, and he raised his hand to place several more magic arrays over Bai Lan's head.
Bai Lan suddenly felt a weight on her body. At this moment, she deeply understood the feeling of a monkey being pressed under a mountain. Even with Elder Fu secretly dispersing the pressure for her, this force was like Mount Tai pressing down on her, imprisoning her in place and preventing her from moving.
"You know everything, yet you don't run. Is this the confidence of someone favored by Heavenly Dao, or are you absolutely certain you can escape this calamity?" True Lord Suiyun's expression was complex, and his tone was heavy. "But it doesn't matter, I will defy Heaven today!"
Bai Lan almost burst out laughing, "..."
Is it possible that she is also defying the heavens? True Lord Suiyun, you are defying the heavens! It's against the heavens, completely against the heavens... Bai Lan closed her eyes, feeling powerless, but fortunately, she was still conscious and could still reload her save at any time.
