The Fifth Floor of the Underground Cavern.
Qin Wuyou had found a cave and begun another period of secluded cultivation.
This time, after refining a great number of Seven Kills Hall cultivators, his greatest harvest besides blood essence, vital energy, and soul power was Fortune Power!
The Fortune Power devoured from hundreds of people amounted to a terrifying quantity.
If measured in strands, the Fortune Power Qin Wuyou now possessed totaled over a thousand.
All this Fortune Power was waiting for him to absorb it.
Of course, to absorb this Fortune Power, he had to continue comprehending the Heaven-Seizing Creation Art.
The Heaven-Seizing Creation Art was divided into Qi Creation, Blood Creation, Spirit Creation, and Fortune Creation.
Qin Wuyou had already comprehended Qi Creation, Blood Creation, and Spirit Creation, and had successfully mastered them.
Thus, he could directly absorb the blood essence, vital energy, and soul power refined within the Heaven and Earth Furnace, converting them into his own.
However, he had yet to comprehend Fortune Creation.
It was not that he had not wanted to comprehend it, but that his cultivation had previously been too low.
At the Essence Condensation Realm, one could comprehend Qi Creation.
At the Foundation Establishment Realm, one could comprehend Blood Creation.
At the Purple Mansion Realm, one could comprehend Fortune Creation.
At the Primordial Spirit Realm, one could comprehend Spirit Creation.
Of course, although Qin Wuyou had yet to comprehend Spirit Creation, his soul could still directly absorb the soul power refined within the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Only the Fortune Power refined within the Heaven and Earth Furnace could not be absorbed without Fortune Creation.
Reaching the Purple Mansion Realm was the prerequisite for comprehending Fortune Creation.
Having now returned to the Purple Mansion Realm, Qin Wuyou was qualified to comprehend Fortune Creation.
"All things between heaven and earth possess fortune."
"The path of fortune lies in the Heavenly Dao!"
"When fortune flourishes, destiny shines brilliantly, and one may be called a child of fortune."
"When fortune declines, destiny turns tragic, and one's life hangs in the balance."
"Fortune Power is divided into positive fortune and inverse fortune."
"Those who obtain positive fortune are Children of Heaven's Mandate."
"Those who obtain inverse fortune are Villains of Heaven's Mandate."
"A Child of Heaven's Mandate possesses golden fortune. Shrouded in fortune, they sail through life with favorable winds and smooth waters, beloved by the Heavenly Dao, and may one day attain the Great Dao."
“The Villain of Heaven's Mandate's fortune, when it declines to the utmost limit, becomes inverse fortune. Positive and inverse give rise to one another; when Villain Fortune reaches its utmost limit, one can be called a Villain of Heaven's Mandate.”
"..."
As he studied Fortune Creation, Qin Wuyou immediately gained a wealth of understanding about this elusive, intangible Fortune Power.
The simplest and most straightforward way to distinguish fortune was to observe its color.
Each person's fortune had a different color.
Depending on how much fortune one possessed, positive fortune appeared, from lowest to highest, as white, green, blue, purple, and gold!
White fortune was the most ordinary kind.
Ordinary people generally possessed white Fortune Power.
One rank above ordinary people was green fortune.
Green fortune and blue fortune were both excellent forms of Fortune Power.
Although they did not qualify someone as a child of fortune, both indicated that a person's fortune was extraordinary.
When a person's fortune reached the purple rank, it signified their status as a child of fortune.
Purple Fortune was the lowest rank of child of fortune.
Even the lowest-ranked child of fortune could not be killed indiscriminately.
Recklessly killing a child of fortune at this rank would bring a backlash from the Heavenly Dao's fortune.
The highest rank of fortune was golden fortune.
Those who possessed golden fortune were no longer ordinary children of fortune.
Children of fortune at this rank bore Heaven's Mandate.
Thus, they were also called Children of Heaven's Mandate!
A child of fortune with the destiny of a Child of Heaven's Mandate gathered all the spiritual splendor of heaven and earth within themselves and enjoyed the Great Dao's favor.
In short, only Children of Heaven's Mandate at this rank were truly the Heavenly Dao's darlings.
Their cultivation could soar by leaps and bounds even without them cultivating.
Even while walking down a road, a windfall might drop from the sky and land right on their heads.
Such people could ultimately grow into beings who ruled an entire world.
Every person who managed to become a Supreme, or even an Emperor-to-be, was a being of this rank.
After studying the differences between the fortune of Children of Heaven's Mandate and children of fortune, Qin Wuyou could not help growing curious about his own fortune.
What rank is my fortune?
I should at least be a child of fortune with purple fortune, right?
Qin Wuyou did not dare let his imagination run too far.
But he believed he deserved to be a child of fortune with purple fortune.
After all, he had been born into an Emperor Clan and possessed a Supreme Bone. That alone was enough to qualify him as a child of fortune.
With his Supreme Bone alone, perhaps he should even be a Child of Heaven's Mandate with golden fortune!
"To observe fortune, I must first master the Fortune Eye!"
The Fortune Eye was a divine ability formed by condensing one's own Fortune Power.
Once the divine ability was mastered, a new pair of eyes could form deep within the pupils.
This pair of eyes remained hidden inside one's own eyes, like nested dolls, and would not appear unless activated.
Once activated, the strange sight of double pupils would immediately appear within the eyes!
The first step in cultivating the Fortune Eye was to ignite one's own Fortune Power.
Only with powerful Fortune Power as a foundation was mastering it possible.
It could be said that this was an extremely dangerous divine ability.
If cultivation failed, igniting one's Fortune Power would amount to exhausting all of one's fortune.
Losing one's fortune was even more terrifying than having one's soul power extracted.
Not only would all manner of misfortunes befall them, but in severe cases, they might even die as a result.
Bizarre deaths such as choking to death while drinking water, choking on food, or tripping and spilling one's brains out would not be strange at all.
Thus, cultivating the Fortune Eye was extremely dangerous.
If one failed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The Heaven-Seizing Creation Art also recorded that cultivating the Fortune Eye required sufficiently powerful Fortune Power.
If it was righteous fortune, then only a child of fortune with at least the Purple Fortune rank had any possibility of cultivating into a child of fortune.
If their fortune ranked below Purple Fortune, it was impossible to cultivate the Fortune Eye.
Their Fortune Power was insufficient, and forcing themselves to cultivate the Fortune Eye would leave their Fortune Power burned away completely.
Besides this situation, there was another circumstance in which one could master the Fortune Eye.
That was by possessing the fortune of a Villain of Heaven's Mandate.
Villain Fortune was still fortune.
Whether it was righteous fortune or Villain Fortune, as long as one had enough Fortune Power, one could cultivate the Fortune Eye.
Although he did not know whether he was a child of fortune, Qin Wuyou chose to cultivate the Fortune Eye with almost no hesitation.
For others, cultivating the Fortune Eye might be fraught with peril, but to him, it was like a divine ability tailor-made for him.
He had the Fortune Power he had seized earlier. That alone should be enough for him to master the Fortune Eye.
Besides, he was still very confident in the rank of his own fortune!
With the Supreme Bone inside him alone, he was confident that he was at least a child of fortune with Purple Fortune!
"Ignite Fortune Power with essence, energy, and spirit, and condense the Fortune Eye!"
As Qin Wuyou's words fell, he began gathering his essence, energy, and spirit, using them as kindling to ignite Fortune Power!
He was determined to master the Fortune Eye in one go!
One day later.
The moment the more than a thousand strands of Fortune Power collected within him were exhausted, Qin Wuyou finally formed the Fortune Eye in both eyes.
The instant the Fortune Eye reached full mastery, he excitedly looked beyond his body.
Yet the moment he saw his own fortune, he was utterly stunned!
Holy shit!
The color of my fortune is actually...
