Under the Fortune Gold Net, Golden Ao Island seemed to have become the center of the Great Wilderness.
Countless fine, dazzling golden threads descended from the void, intertwining and rotating, illuminating the entire Immortal Island in a magnificent glow.
That was neither a manifestation of spiritual energy nor a manifestation of law, but a natural phenomenon of an extremely pure and unimaginably powerful Fortune Torrent manifesting between heaven and earth!
Purple Qi Coming from the East the east, stretching for three hundred million miles, transforming into auspicious clouds that linger and never dissipate.
Golden lotuses emerged from the void, blooming one by one, sprinkling endless sweet dew of Daoist essence.
The ethereal music seemed to be chanting and offering congratulations from countless beings in the darkness.
Along the entire East Sea Coast, and indeed throughout the entire Eastern Great Wilderness, all living beings felt a sense of connection at that moment and involuntarily looked towards Golden Ao Island!
"What... what kind of incredible fortune is this?"
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
The Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes swirling with Jade Purity Immortal Light as he stared intently at the Fortune Gold Net covering the Sky Dome in the direction of the East Sea.
As Heavenly Dao Sage, how acutely sensitive is his perception of destiny?
But at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from that Fortune Torrent!
Its vastness even made this Sage feel apprehensive!
" The Interception Sect... Xuandu..."
Yuanshi gritted his teeth and whispered, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his sleeve humming and trembling, the Jade Purity Dao Light flickering uncertainly.
He could clearly sense that the source of that Fortune Torrent was Lingyun Peak on Golden Ao Island!
This is the place where Xuandu is in seclusion!
A hundred years ago, Xuandu Establish Martial Dao, passed it on to the Human Race, Gather Fortune, which caused the Jie Sect's Fortune to soar, Above All Sects.
At that time, although the Jie Sect's Fortune was powerful, it was still within the realm that Sage could understand.
After all, the Sect Leader Tongtian Teach Without Discrimination, Myriad Immortals Come to Court. With numerous disciples, his accumulated fortune was naturally immense.
Furthermore, given that Xuandu Human Race's Master and carries the Human Race Will, it is only natural that his fortune would rise again.
But now...
This fortune has far exceeded what the Interception Sect should have!
It is even several times, dozens of times, more powerful than when the Jie Sect's Fortune was at its peak!
How is that possible?!
The Way of Fortune is mysterious and profound.
Sage enjoy the blessings of the religion, which forms the foundation of the religion. They can mobilize the sect's Fortune Blessing themselves, enhance their Dao Cultivation, and suppress Karma.
But that's just a transfer, not an exclusive ownership!
The sect's fortune is distributed among each disciple; the Sage can only borrow its power, but cannot completely separate it and gather it into one person.
This is the Great Wilderness world, the balance established by the Great Dao.
Otherwise, if Sage were to gather all the sect's fortune, wouldn't the sect's disciples become rootless duckweed, losing all their luck and facing endless calamities?
But the Fortune Torrent that Xuandu is currently displaying... has clearly exceeded this scope!
This is simply... completely overturning Yuanshi's entire understanding of the Way of Fortune!
"What kind of Heaven-Defying Opportunity has this child obtained?"
Yuanshi's face was ashen, and golden flames flickered wildly in his eyes. Jealousy and fear almost overwhelmed his Dao Heart.
As the Sage Yuqing, he was in charge of the Chan Sect, enjoyed the Heaven-Opening Merit, and Sect-Founding Fortune. He considered himself to be one of the beings with the deepest fortune in the Great Wilderness.
But compared to the Fortune Torrent in Xuandu... it's like Firefly Compared to the Moon!
How could he possibly tolerate this?!
"The Great Calamity... We must initiate the Great Calamity as soon as possible!"
Yuanshi gritted his teeth, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his sleeve shone with light, evolving into infinite Heavenly Secret mysteries:
"This child has already shown promise, blessed with good fortune, and his destiny is sealed. If we give him more time to grow..."
He dared not think any further.
Hundred Year Zenith Heaven is unprecedented in history.
If Xuandu were given another thousand or ten thousand years... with his current Fortune Blessing, he might actually be able to break through to a higher realm like the Zenith Heaven.
At that time, the Interception Sect will have Tongtian in charge, Xuandu, a Zenith Heaven with boundless fortune, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation as their reliance...
In the In the Great Wilderness, who could possibly subdue it?
"He must... perish in the great calamity!"
A murderous intent surged in Yuanshi's eyes. With a flicker, he transformed into a beam of Jade Purity Immortal Light and headed towards Western Mount Sumeru.
He needed to discuss with Jieyin and Zhunti how to advance the Great Tribulation and how... to eliminate Xuandu during the tribulation!
Shouyang Mountain, Eight Sceneries Palace.
Laozi sat cross-legged before the alchemical furnace, his face pale and his breath weak.
The Human Sect Master Dao Fruit shattered, his Saint Realm plummeted to the First Heaven Early, his foundation was damaged, and his Dao Path was severed. This blow was far too heavy for him.
But at this moment.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils swirling with purple energy as he stared intently at the East Sea!
"Luck... such immense luck..."
Laozi's voice was hoarse, trembling with disbelief:
" Jie Sect Myriad Immortals... Myriad Human Race... have actually gathered here?!"
As the head of the Three Pure Ones, he once enjoyed three-tenths of the fortune of the Human Sect and had a profound understanding of the Way of Fortune.
Even at his peak, the fortune he enjoyed was far less than one-tenth of what Xuandu is experiencing now!
What alarmed him even more was that... within that Fortune Torrent, faint patterns of the Great Dao Patterns were manifesting!
That was a sign that the aura of fortune was so strong that it Heaven and Earth Resonance, and even touched the Origin of the Great Dao!
"This child... is he truly going to defy the heavens?!"
Laozi gritted his teeth and growled, the flat cane at his fingertips trembling slightly.
He abolished Human Sect, slew the Holy Mother Nuwa, and now he has gathered such Vast Destiny...
Every step Xuandu takes tramples on the dignity of the Sage and overturns the Great Wilderness Order!
But alas... Dao Ancestor Hongjun has yet to appear and stop it.
It was as if they tacitly approved of all of this.
"Could it be... that the Dao Ancestor really..."
Laozi dare not think any further.
If even the Dao Ancestor tacitly approves of Xuandu, then the Great Wilderness... is truly about to change.
He slowly closed his eyes and looked inward at himself.
His Saint Dao Foundation was riddled with cracks, his cultivation had plummeted to rock bottom, and he had lost all his luck... He was now a cripple.
In the midst of a great calamity, in his current state, let alone contend with Xuandu, he would even struggle to Self-Preservation.
"Never mind..."
Laozi sighed deeply, his voice filled with desolation:
"A great calamity is about to begin; let us see... how Heavenly Dao will choose."
He said no more, and with a flick of his sleeve, purple energy enveloped his mangled body, slowly sinking into the depths of the alchemy furnace.
Seclusion.
Remold Dao Foundation.
Even if the hope is slim, he must give it a try.
The West, Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin and Zhunti stood side by side on the mountaintop, gazing at the Fortune Gold Net covering the eastern Sky Dome, their expressions filled with even greater anguish.
"Senior brother..."
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Zhunti's hand shimmered with light, and his voice was hoarse.
"This young man Xuandu... his destiny has already taken hold."
"With such power, let alone Sage, even the Dao Ancestor himself would not dare to act rashly."
After all, fortune is a mysterious and unpredictable thing; who would dare to lay a hand on someone with Great Destiny?
Not to mention that Xuandu's current fortune far surpasses that of ordinary people with Great Destiny.
Jieyin the Buddha's name, a glint of shrewdness flashed deep within the compassion in his eyes:
"The tide of fortune is as vast as the sea; the inevitable trend has been established."
"This child... is no longer a match for us."
Zhunti frowned deeply.
"Are we just going to watch him grow stronger? Watch his Jie Sect's Fortune soar, and in the Future Tribulation, he surpasses our Western Sect?"
Jieyin slowly shook his head:
"No."
He paused, then looked eastward, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"The greater one's fortune, the heavier one's calamities."
" The Xuandu has gathered such Vast Destiny; it is already defying the heavens and will surely incur divine jealousy."
"In the great calamity, he... is the greatest variable, and also the greatest target."
Zhunti's eyes lit up:
"Senior brother, are you saying... to use someone else to do the dirty work?"
Jieyin nodded slightly.
" Yuanshi just sent a message, wishing to discuss with us the matter of initiating the Great Kalpa."
"Perfect..."
His voice turned cold:
"Let the Vast Destiny Xuandu become the fuse for the great calamity, the catalyst for the Witch-Demon War..."
Upon hearing this, Zhunti clapped his hands:
"Good!"
"At that time, the great calamity will erupt, the Calamity Qi will permeate, and the Heavenly Secret secrets will be in chaos. Saints will then be able to take action."
"Even with Xuandu's flourishing fortune, can it withstand the combined might of Saints?"
Jieyin another word, Jieyin flicked his sleeve, and golden light enveloped the two of them, heading towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
Wa Huang Palace.
Nuwa collapsed onto her cloud bed, her robes tattered, her face deathly pale, and the Purple-Gold Saint Blood at the corner of her mouth still wet.
The Holy Mother Dao Fruit shattered, her Saint Realm plummeted, and her foundation was damaged.
This blow was almost devastating for her.
What broke her heart even more was Fuxi's betrayal.
She has been plotting for her Elder Brother for countless years, even going so far as to break ties with Xuandu and use the Creation Divine Stone...
But what he received in return was Fuxi's words, " The Interception Sect is the destiny we are meant to have."
This was even more heartbreaking for her than Xuandu stripping her of her title as Holy Mother.
" Xuandu... Fuxi..."
Nuwa gritted her teeth and whispered, her eyes filled with venomous resentment:
"I... will make you... pay the price!"
However.
Just as hatred was churning in her heart...
An unimaginably powerful surge of fortune roared from the direction of the East Sea, causing the entire Wa Huang Palace to vibrate!
"This is..."
Nuwa's pupils contracted sharply, and she abruptly looked up at the Fortune Gold Net in the east.
She could clearly sense that the source of that Fortune Torrent was none other than Xuandu!
Its overwhelming power was so great that even she, a Sage, felt breathless!
"How is this possible... how could he possibly gather such a fortune?!"
Nuwa gasped in disbelief, her face filled with disbelief.
She once enjoyed 30% of the Human Race's fortune and considered herself one of the Sage with the deepest fortune in the Great Wilderness.
But compared to Xuandu now... it's like a stream compared to a vast ocean!
The gap was so vast that it filled her with despair!
"Could it be... that he has truly received the favor of the Great Dao? Is he truly... destined by the Heavenly Mandate of the Great Wilderness World?"
The moment this thought crossed her mind, Nuwa's delicate body trembled violently, and for the first time, a clear... fear appeared in her eyes.
If that's true...
By opposing Xuandu, isn't she opposing destiny itself? Isn't she opposing the Great Dao?
At that time, not only will the Dao Ancestor not stand up for her, but even the Heavenly Dao... will probably abandon her!
"No... impossible!"
Nuwa gritted her teeth and growled, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart:
"He's just a junior, he just received some Heaven-Defying Opportunity... how could he represent destiny?"
"A great calamity is about to begin, and unexpected changes are bound to occur... No matter how strong his fortune is, he cannot escape this calamity!"
She stared intently at the east, her eyes surging with resentment and murderous intent once more.
" Xuandu, when the great calamity erupts, I will personally witness your demise and the dissipation of your cultivation!"
