Once Aboard, It Was Hard to Get Off

For Zhang Xuezhou and others, the power of the "Tomb Scripture" was silent and imperceptible, allowing them to achieve their wishes without even realizing it.

This is the academic discipline that is closest to the average person in terms of Fortune Technique.

For 99% of people, the "Tomb Scripture" is more like a kind of idealistic doctrine, and they basically just read it with a belief attitude.

However, most people find it difficult to persevere and do not understand how the "Tomb Scripture" is implemented, so they all end up giving up in a hasty manner, and only a few people occasionally achieve their wishes.

However, it is now difficult to discern whether the success of these individuals was due to their own efforts or the effects of the "Tomb Scripture".

The theory of Qi Luck in the "Tomb Scripture" has always been controversial. Even when Zhang Xuezhou and others used it, it was only a last-minute effort and the probability of its success was not guaranteed.

Xuanming succeeded in reciting the mantra on his first try, even triggering various extraordinary phenomena, which amazed Zhang Xuezhou.

"What Fortune Technique did you use to provoke me?"

Countless twisted vortexes churned in the darkness, causing waves of dizzying light to float around them, accompanied by Xuanming's furious roars.

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, signaling Xuanming to calm down.

"You don't have much time to communicate with me," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You can control An Ran through the Xuanqi Heavy Armor, but you can't control anyone else. If it goes on any longer, An Ran will call for help to knock away the bronze turtle in my hand, thus ending our communication!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care at all about the turbulent scene stirred up by Xuanming, since it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Xuanming's remote punches were like online trash talk, only tiring him out. If one closed their Divine Sense and stopped seeing and hearing, all of Xuanming's efforts would be in vain.

Even if the opponent used the bronze tortoise to cast a spell, Zhang Xuezhou felt that at most he would be injured, but it wouldn't have a fatal impact.

"Damn it, you need to give me an explanation!" Xuanming roared.

"It's just signing Heart Demon Oath," Zhang Xuezhou said. "It's no big deal!"

"You've set me up," Xuanming said. "What negative impact will this have on me?"

"We both recite a vow of self-discipline, how could that possibly have a negative impact?" Zhang Xuezhou explained, "I live a happy and carefree life, there's no need for me to torment myself, and tormenting you won't bring me any joy!"

"Hmm?"

"You are from a different dimension, and your strength is different from mine, which is why this slight anomaly has occurred. It's nothing serious!"

"How could it be nothing serious? The extraordinary light I'm emitting can be detected by people within a hundred miles. Those who don't know the situation will definitely think I've found some peerless treasure here," Xuanming cursed. "How am I supposed to explain this to the outside world then?"

"If others want it, just give it to them," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Just replace the place where I told you to stop reciting the name with their real name. Who knows, they might also experience some strange phenomena. This won't bother you at all. If they still don't believe you, then just have them come to me, and I'll lead them in reciting!"

"This... this Heart Demon Oath can be so reckless?"

Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion was undoubtedly reckless, but it was still a possible solution to the problem.

In short, if people want it, we'll give it to them. Xuanming won't lose anything. It's no problem for him to repeat Zhang Xuezhou's strange pronunciation once, and it's also no problem for him to bring his envious friends to show their faces.

However, Xuanming needs to figure out the potential hidden dangers involved, lest he suffer a setback and be retaliated against in the future.

"No harm, absolutely no harm!"

"What Heart Demon Oath and harm?"

"What kind of Heart Demon Oath from a lower-dimensional world could cause harm that you wouldn't even notice?"

Even the most subtle Curse and misfortunes will be detected, but blessings are much harder to discern.

Aside from a minor incident where Xuanming's recitation of the "Tomb Scripture" caused unusual phenomena in his body, the scripture had no other negative effects.

"This is simply a guarantee to ensure the smooth progress of our transaction; every oath is a benefit," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Then I'd like to know, what harm will I suffer if I break the agreement?" Xuanming asked.

"The oath has been made. We will cooperate and move forward together. If we betray each other, we will each bring disaster upon ourselves, some insignificant, some fatal. It's all uncertain," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You are powerful enough that you may not be affected at all!"

Zhang Xuezhou's prayer to the "Tomb Scripture" was for good rather than bad, and it did not have any binding force. If Xuanming changed his mind, there was nothing that could be done.

Of course, if they can help each other, it will indeed bring benefits that each of them needs.

Zhang Xuezhou can provide the Qi Luck Bead as Xuanming requests, and in return, he can obtain a wisp of Xuan Qi Heavy Armor to protect his soul.

Most importantly, the agreement was established by him and Xuanming, not by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and Xuanming, which might bring different abilities than those of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

Zhang Xuezhou was not afraid that Xuanming would abandon the cooperation; his mindset remained stable.

Huang Daoxian, who had Xuanming's help, had already failed. Without Xuanming's help, it wouldn't have much of an impact. Cooperation from the other party would be icing on the cake, while non-cooperation would be fine for both sides.

"Snort!"

In the darkness, Xuanming's colossal body moved continuously.

If it didn't trigger any unusual phenomena in his bloodline, Xuanming would have treated it as he pleased, but he wasn't willing to gamble.

Most practitioners of fortune-telling Fortune Technique trust their own luck and believe they are destined to win every gamble. However, those who have reached the pinnacle of Xuanming feel as if they are walking on thin ice, knowing that no one can have a smooth and successful the Unseen, and that every price is predetermined.

Borrowing is a common occurrence, and sometimes Fortune Technique money may even require repayment with interest.

Without the shared fortune of countless living beings to mitigate the risks, some cultivators who rely on luck fall and can never get back up.

"Then let's continue with the agreement. You provide what I need, and I'll give you my benefits. It's a mutually beneficial exchange!"

After wandering back and forth, Xuanming finally changed his attitude.

He hated encountering his peers, but Xuanming had no choice but to cooperate with them, since only these people could obtain the Luck Bead.

"Where did the Qi Luck Pearl come from? What do I need to do with it? Can I use your Xuan Qi Heavy Armor first? Can the Xuan Qi Heavy Armor prevent spatial teleportation? Can it accurately attach itself to my three souls and seven spirits without wavering? If a powerful cultivator were to possess me, or even replace my physical body, could the Xuan Qi Heavy Armor distinguish between them...?"

Xuanming agreed to the task, but he realized he had agreed too soon.

He seemed to be facing a cultivator who was purely lucky. The other party knew nothing, neither how to give him what he needed nor how to properly use the Xuanqi Heavy Armor. The other party even imagined the Xuanqi Heavy Armor as ordinary armor, thinking that putting it on was all it took.

You're even less reliable than the zodiac!

After thinking for a few seconds, Xuanming couldn't help but complain.

"In your eyes, I'm actually inferior to that defeated opponent? Fine, fine. Who knows if I'll even need the benefits you offered later? I'm used to being superior. If I die and become your servant, there's probably no point in me living. I can bear the consequences of breaking my oath..."

"Etc!"

Before Xuanming could even break his Heart Demon Oath, he sensed that Zhang Xuezhou was already showing signs of disbanding the group.

Zhang Xuezhou's group disbanded, so what did his real contributions amount to, especially since he got involved in some troublesome situation involving unusual phenomena?

Xuanming felt that all the suffering he had endured was not worth it if he couldn't get his money back from the other party.
