Huo Yuhao: I Have a Path Here. The Risk Is a Little High, but the Benefits Are Substantial

Huo Yuhao entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

He was in no hurry to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

What belonged to Huo Yuhao would belong to Huo Yuhao in the end.

Among fate arts, there was a saying: the greater trend could not be changed, but small matters could shift.

Huo Yuhao was the Child of Luck. He was destined to rise, and that could not be changed.

As for whether Huo Yuhao's eventual rise would make him the Plane Master, a lackey of the Tang Family, or lead to some other ending, that would depend on the effects brought about by changes in all kinds of small matters.

There was absolutely no need to panic.

Huo Yuhao did not go too deep into the forest, so he did not run into any soul beasts either. Perhaps because his luck had risen somewhat, his fortune had improved.

The strongest soul beast, near-god-slayer, Wind Baboon, escaped disaster.

Huo Yuhao: Be grateful. You picked up your life!

Once inside the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao no longer had any need to keep playing the good child. Right now, he was like a rat that had slipped into a granary.

In front of Tang Ya and Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao had restrained his personality. At most, he had only seemed a little mischievous.

After all, as a level-ten scrub, he had no ability to hop around recklessly in front of two level-thirty minor experts.

Now, he did not need to worry about so much.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath of the sweet air of the Star Dou Great Forest... and absorbed quite a bit of luck while he was at it.

"Our Star Dou Great Forest really is amazing! I love this place so much!"

He circulated the Fate Stealing and Dragon Transformation Technique, then activated the Qi Observation Technique.

Huo Yuhao clearly watched the dispersed luck of the Star Dou Great Forest be drawn to him, then merge into his own luck.

The luck that belonged to Huo Yuhao was growing stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The golden light within the Spirit Eye phantom also became even more dazzling.

However, Huo Yuhao did not allow the luck he had absorbed to merge at random.

Under Huo Yuhao's control, the luck he absorbed mainly merged into the middle section of the Spirit Eye phantom, because this region represented Huo Yuhao's own fortune.

A small portion would merge into the lower end, allowing it to bless his descendants in the future.

As for the upper end, Huo Yuhao did not merge even a shred of luck into it, afraid that the connection of luck would let Duke White Tiger pick up an advantage.

While absorbing luck, Huo Yuhao found a secluded spot and began cultivating the Buddhist Cultivation Method.

Two hours later, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

The Buddhist Cultivation Method had advanced again!

Huo Yuhao had now successfully cultivated Buddhist light!

"Sure enough, just like in Pudu Cihang's memories, the cultivation speed is like turning on an accelerator, advancing a thousand miles in a day. Then if I also cultivate the Evil Cultivation Method that's already quick to begin with..."

Super doubled?

Huo Yuhao hurriedly pinched off that thought. Recalling the appearance of those evil cultivators in Pudu Cihang's memories, he shuddered. "I don't want to eat people and drink blood, then end up neither human nor ghost. At most... I'll learn a little of the Evil Cultivation Method's techniques and treat it as mastering a few more means of self-protection."

But this method of obtaining large amounts of luck and accelerating his cultivation truly felt incredible to Huo Yuhao.

He wanted more luck!

"Sure enough, once the magic box of desire in the heart is opened, it can never be filled again. I'm already guarding the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest, yet I actually still want even more luck." After sighing, Huo Yuhao could not help turning his mind. "If Duke White Tiger's Mansion were wiped out completely, then as someone with Duke White Tiger's bloodline, I could easily take in the luck of Duke White Tiger's Mansion, right?"

Thinking of such an extermination, Huo Yuhao hurriedly slapped himself and cursed himself bitterly.

"Huo Yuhao, oh Huo Yuhao, how can you think like that? How can you curse your birth father and innocent people? How is such behavior any different from evil cultivation?!"

Huo Yuhao circulated the Buddhist Cultivation Method again, making the greed and hostility on his face disappear, his expression returning to calm once more.

"I only want to let them reunite with my birth mother, that's all! After all, by the end, Duke White Tiger loved Huo Yun'er quite a lot. I simply can't bear to see lovers separated by life and death."

"The Duchess also loves Duke White Tiger, so I can't neglect her. And their two sons, too. Duke White Tiger's loving family must be neat and complete!"

"Right, the Duchess is also the Star Luo Empire emperor's favorite daughter..."

"Amitabha."

Like a living Buddha, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged in cultivation, a peaceful Buddhist light radiating from his body, while the luck above his head increased by a few more degrees.

Yet an uninvited guest suddenly interrupted Huo Yuhao's cultivation.

"Brother has finally run into a human with a spiritual attribute. Too bad Brother can't cry, or I'd definitely be bawling right now!"

A voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind. Huo Yuhao instantly opened his eyes.

Here he came, here he came, carrying a soul ring as he walked over!

Here he came, here he came, bringing his origin with him!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, making his grand entrance!

Looking at the big, white, fat silkworm that appeared before him, Huo Yuhao immediately stopped cultivating, withdrew his Buddhist light, and revealed an expression that was pitiful, weak, and helpless. He even squeezed two frightened tears from the corners of his eyes.

"T-this is a soul beast?! How can there be a soul beast here?" Huo Yuhao cried in panic, looking completely at a loss.

"Hehehe... little friend, don't be afraid. Brother isn't a bad guy," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's reaction and thought to himself, Looks like this is a little fellow who doesn't understand the world. Brother likes simple little fellows like this. Only then can Brother handle him, and when the time comes, he'll foolishly follow Brother to the Far North Land to find Bing Bing!

Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began painting a grand picture for Huo Yuhao, starting to fool him.

Several minutes later.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said a huge amount before Huo Yuhao finally looked as if he had worked up his courage and asked, "As long as I let you become my first soul ring, you can lead me to become a god?"

"Of course! Stop wasting time and hurry up and accept Brother's Sacrifice!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was starting to panic. If they dawdled any longer, those guys in the Core Region would discover that he had escaped.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet." Huo Yuhao revealed an innocent expression and said timidly, "But how can I trust you? Unless you first let me drip a drop of blood onto your forehead. Back in my hometown, this is a common ritual for making an agreement."

"Fine, fine, fine, Brother will do as you say." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm agreed without even thinking.

What bad intentions could such a young, helpless, and pitiful child possibly have?

And so, Huo Yuhao bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's forehead, conveniently drawing a mark.

This mark, in the cultivation world, was generally called a "Beast Control Seal."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not care. Impatiently, he released his spiritual origin and began his Sacrifice to Huo Yuhao. He did not dare waste even a single moment more.

Only, he did not discover that his spiritual origin had actually stuck to that drop of Huo Yuhao's blood.

Immediately afterward, with a tremendous boom from the sky, the disturbance caused by the Sacrifice of a million-year soul beast attracted Electrolux's remnant soul.

And with that, the two great plug-ins had arrived!

Some time later.

Huo Yuhao examined the scene within his Spiritual Sea—a pure white space, boundless at a glance. A pale golden ocean bore ten huge gold-white balls of light. A very small gray ball of light hovered in the air, unwilling to gather together with the large balls of light.

The ten huge balls of light were Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin, and the gray ball of light was Electrolux's soul fragment.

This harvest was quite large. Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul had gained its first soul ring, a million-year soul ring had arrived, and at the same time, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had also bestowed upon Huo Yuhao an Ice Martial Soul with no soul.

Just as Huo Yuhao was admiring his Spiritual Sea, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm screamed, breaking the calm within the Spiritual Sea.

"Ah!!! What's wrong with your memories?! You actually dared to deceive me! Who exactly are you? No, are you even human?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not help being agitated.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had thought he had caught a little lamb, but the moment he read Huo Yuhao's memories, he saw Pudu Cihang's thousand-year life as a demon.

It would be strange if he could stay calm.

As for Little Huo's dozen or so years of memories, they were not worth mentioning to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. He did not pay much attention to them, merely skimming past with a glance.

"Calm down, Brother Sky Dream." Huo Yuhao gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm an innocent smile.

The memories Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had seen were already enough to intimidate him. As for those core memories, Huo Yuhao had secretly used the Beast Control Seal to influence Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and had not let him see them.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not control his shudder and said in a fierce but weak voice, "You, you don't have to pretend anymore! Who exactly are you? You actually dared to deceive Brother. Believe it or not, Brother will detonate his spiritual origin and perish together with you!"

The innocence on Huo Yuhao's face vanished, replaced by a mocking smile.

"Self-destruct? Can you do it?"

Huo Yuhao activated the Beast Control Seal, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately collapsed limply onto the ground.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was incomparably shocked. "W-what exactly is this?"

"Didn't you look through the memories? It's the Beast Control Seal. Drip essence blood into a demonic beast's spiritual origin, and from then on you can control the demonic beast's life and death."

Huo Yuhao spoke with a smile, but it made Sky Dream Ice Silkworm feel as though he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

It was precisely because he had seen Pudu Cihang's memories that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew that what Huo Yuhao said was true!

Just as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell into despair.

Huo Yuhao picked his ear and crouched in front of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, wearing a wicked grin. "Brother Sky Dream, didn't you say you wanted to create a god? I have a path here. The risk is a little high, but the benefits are substantial. At minimum, I'll become the Plane Master. When the time comes, I'll grant you Eternal Life. Are you interested in hearing more?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pulled free from his despair and stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, then asked carefully, "Really?"

He had truly been frightened by Huo Yuhao's lies.

In Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind now, Huo Yuhao was a thousand-year old demon wearing human skin.

"Just tell me whether you believe it or not! Give me a straight answer!" Huo Yuhao said impatiently.

"I... believe you!"

In order to survive, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm yielded.
