Fortune Dims Itself

Zhang Xuezhou said that the practice of cultivating one's luck is a true practice of cultivating one's luck.

After the Airbus landed, he contacted Zuo Teng Zuo Denggao to confirm that Zuo Quan was in Western Capital City. Only then did Zhang Xuezhou rush to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum after returning to the North Rehe Research Institute.

His trip to Luo'an Province did not take up much of his time. During his time in Changqing City, Zhang Xuezhou wrote extensively on works related to the Book of Changes, Lianshan, Guizang, Daojing, Nanhuajing, and Mozi.

He can't acquire a related skill just by collecting one type of content, but it's always good to be prepared.

Regardless of whether he could learn it or use it, Zhang Xuezhou would not stop collecting the secret texts of various schools of thought.

These contents are not just a variety of techniques, but truly involve the theoretical support for building a school of thought.

For Zhang Xuezhou, if he wants to innovate and forge his own path in the Yin-Yang School's realm techniques, or even build his own cultivation system, this content can be of reference value to him.

Of course, besides Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Anran, Zhang Manqian, and others may also refer to this information, and it may come in handy at any time.

Sitting quietly in front of the Luo Xing Emperor's Mausoleum, Zhang Xuezhou waited for the sunrise.

Emperor Luo Xing's reign was not long, and even after becoming emperor, he was constantly engaged in military campaigns.

If Emperor Luo Xing was a brilliant and invincible warrior, his posthumous title would most likely have been Emperor Luo Wu. However, Emperor Luo Xing experienced a mix of victories and defeats in numerous battles, and ultimately died in the course of his military career, so his posthumous title was simply "Xing".

They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry as well.

This kind of imperial burial, where the emperor is wrapped in horsehide and returns to his body, lacks any special features and cannot even be considered a grand funeral.

Zhang Xuezhou's treasure-hunting techniques had no effect on Luo Xing's imperial tomb, nor did he dig a hole to enter and rummage through it.

With the time approaching, Zhang Xuezhou didn't wander off.

"Um?"

The first rays of sunlight shone on the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, and golden sunlight began to illuminate the earth, but the golden aura of fortune that Zhang Xuezhou had seen before did not appear.

This prompted him to quickly stand up, and with a leap, Zhang Xuezhou was already half-flying in the air.

In the early morning, everything on Dongshan Mountain was coming back to life, with insects chirping and birds singing, and everything was full of vitality, but this did not provide the environment for Zhang Xuezhou to cultivate his martial arts.

He exclaimed in surprise, momentarily unable to determine why what he saw was different from what he had seen before.

"Could it be that the Imperial Mausoleum of Dongshan possesses something special, only displaying unusual auras at sunrise during a certain time?"

Zhang Xuezhou had no idea why the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum possessed such overwhelming fortune. He had simply happened to be there and used the fortune-telling technique. Now that he hadn't encountered the same scene again, he couldn't help but ponder the unusual circumstances.

"Or perhaps its destiny is already hidden, requiring guidance to unleash?"

"Zuo Quan visited the Imperial Mausoleum in Dongshan. He muttered something for a long time inside. Could it be that Zuo Quan tampered with it?"

Zhang Xuezhou made a series of guesses in his mind, including the reason why he saw such overwhelming fortune that day.

"Could it be that because we destroyed the imperial tombs of Luo Yan and others, the fortune of the Eastern Mountain Imperial Tomb leaked out, and I was able to take advantage of the situation?"

When Zhang Xuezhou turned his gaze back to the purple gladiolus planted among the emperor's remains, he couldn't help but have various thoughts.

He even thought of the situation in the tomb of Emperor Luo Li. The tomb, lacking Luo Zhong's head, did not grow purple sword orchids, and the chip was empty and lifeless, completely different from what was seen in the chip in the tomb of Emperor Luo Ke.

Upon comparing the chip obtained from the spring water in the Pan'an sinkhole again, Zhang Xuezhou's doubts grew even stronger.

He returned to the B13 Research Institute from Dongshan. Zhang Xuezhou used fossilization techniques to destroy the chip in Luo Kedi's tomb, turning it into dust. The chip that had no effect in Luo Zhong's remains was retrieved by Zhang Xuezhou.

The chip discovered by Zuo Teng is also in Zhang Xuezhou's possession.

He set up the operating environment in the laboratory and carefully opened the packaged chip.

A slight dizziness washed over him, Zhang Xuezhou a bloody head flashed before his eyes before Zhang Xuezhou quickly banished its influence.

The illusion that Zuo Teng had maintained for so long had no effect on Zhang Xuezhou.

After calming himself down, he was even able to look directly at the chip that still retained its eerie power.

"Ba'erde, Ba'erde, wake up and recover quickly!"

"I commanded you to guard the Fountain of Immortality in the ancient castle, so why can't I detect your sacred body?"

"Why did my refining crystal fall into the hands of humans?"

"Ba'er, are you alright?"

"Respond to me immediately!"

"Did something happen to your main body too?"

As Zhang Xuezhou focused his attention, Zhang Xuezhou sensed that the chip contained some kind of unknown spiritual power. Upon slight contact, this spiritual power was transformed into language information that he could understand.

"Ba'er, you've finally woken up!"

The spiritual energy within the chip seemed to be some kind of triggering marker. After Zhang Xuezhou received the scattered fragments of information, intermittent inquiries came through.

"Why don't you respond to me? Have your injuries from all these years not only failed to heal, but have you been beaten so badly that you can't even communicate?"

"Damn it, who attacked us?"

"Where are you? Why is it so difficult for me to send a message across thousands of miles?"

"Could it be that your injuries have become so severe that you are on the verge of death?"

Within the chip, a faint mental fluctuation flickered.

Zhang Xuezhou wanted to hear more clearly, but then all the lights in the laboratory went out at once.

When the set 15-second power outage timer expired, his laboratory went completely dark.

Without the light, there were no more mental fluctuations in the chip, and the transmission of information was interrupted.

Zhang Xuezhou came to his senses.

He reached out and touched it, then put the chip back in.

"Tracing techniques based on aura are useless against this kind of chip. Only Master Dong's Star Reversal Tracking Technique can track it, but Master Dong's Star Reversal Tracking Technique is not suitable for this world. Even cramming for it at the last minute is extremely difficult. Modifying the Technique Method to adapt it to the real world is not something that can be done just by talking about it!"

If the chip's owner is Ba'er De, and the entity that contacts Ba'er De is Huang Daoxian, then if Huang Daoxian contacts him again, Dong Zhongshu's tracking technique might be able to trace the other party's true identity.

All difficulties can be resolved without having to follow multiple clues or live in constant fear.

If Huang Daoxian were to launch a surprise attack, all his efforts would be in vain, and even if he were immortal, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback in a short time.

The only problem is that Zhang Xuezhou doesn't follow Dong Zhongshu's methods and finds it difficult to act as a personal hero.

"How did I get stuck in this deadlock again? Nothing seems to be going right... Oh, right, after I burned Huang Daoxian's physical body during my cultivation technique, he might also possess the ability to use cultivation techniques. He's really unlucky to have run into me, and my attack on him might have significantly damaged my luck, putting me in a slump!"

Before heading to the Pan'an Tiankeng, everything went smoothly for Zhang Xuezhou and Zuo Teng.

During their journey through the Pan'an sinkhole, Zuo Teng suffered misfortune time and time again, even Zhang Xuezhou and Wang Haoran were knocked down by the stench.

After that, Zhang Xuezhou realized that everything they had estimated was wrong.

They suspected this and that, but none of their suspicions were accurate.

Zhu Liangping even suffered a lot of torture while investigating the pearl, and the pearl was eventually retrieved and its whereabouts became untraceable.

"When the inferior overthrows the superior, fortune will naturally decline!"

Taking advantage of the momentum of his partial mastery of Qi cultivation, Zhang Xuezhou went to Pan'an immediately after waking up, which also brought great misfortune to Huang Daoxian.

This does not mean that his luck suppressed Huang Daoxian. According to the explanation of luck obtained by Zhang Xuezhou, he took advantage of the success of his luck cultivation and also took advantage of the fact that Huang Daoxian was not in Pan'an Tiankeng, thus successfully taking advantage of the situation.

If Zhang Xuezhou's luck had suppressed his opponent, he wouldn't have suffered the backlash of being beset by bad luck.

"The fortune of Dongshan is indeed related to Huang Daoxian. He is indeed plotting to seize the fortune of the Luofu Dynasty and has used special means to temporarily store it there!"

He pondered the matter and quickly determined the reason why Dongshan's fortune had been entangled until now.
