This is the power of the Heavenly Lone Star.
It does not hurt you, does not disgust you, and certainly does not directly make a move against you; it only uses reasonable methods to make you lose your Opportunity and make you unlucky.
In the originally established timeline, Tianmeng Iceworm’s sacrifice did not encounter any accidents throughout the entire process, but after Huo Yuhao became a disciple of Huang Jinxu and their fates became intertwined, things became different.
Xiong Jun, who was located deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, unexpectedly appeared here and discovered the Mental Energy fluctuations of Tianmeng Iceworm.
Clearly Huang Jinxu was not far away, but Xiong Jun, who detested human Spirit Masters the most, acted as if he had not noticed him at all and headed straight in the direction where Tianmeng Iceworm was escaping.
Thus, Huo Yuhao painfully lost a million-year-old first spirit ring.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was still in a completely dazed state.
What happened?
Just now, a voice suddenly resounded in his mind, claiming to be a million-year-old Spirit Beast, and then before he even finished speaking, his tone shifted, telling him that when he obtains his second spirit ring, he must come to this Star Dou Great Forest.
What on earth is all this?
” Could it be that this is the test given to me by Master?
”
Huang Jinxu’s face, which carried gentleness amidst majesty, suddenly popped up in Huo Yuhao’s mind.
That’s right!
It must be like this!
This is bound to be Master’s test for him.
As for what the test actually is?
It might be a test of his reaction to sudden situations, or perhaps a test of his self-awareness.
He was merely a rank 10 Spirit Scholar; what million-year-old Spirit Beast, hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, or even ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast—all of them were completely out of reach for him at present.
” Huo Yuhao, you must straighten your mindset, Cultivate hard, and gradually climb upward.
Do not dream up impractical dreams.
”
” Where in this world could there be any million-year-old Spirit Beast?
”
Huo Yuhao silently admonished himself in his heart; he could already be certain that all of this was a test given to him by Master.
Afterward, Huo Yuhao continued forward, following Master’s guidance to seek the Spirit Beast he needed.
Not knowing if it was because Huo Yuhao’s Luck was still present, or because of the deterrent Aura of Tianmeng Iceworm and Xiong Jun just moments ago, they hadn’t walked far before Huo Yuhao saw an unconscious Spirit Beast.
” Is this the Spirit Beast prepared for me by Master?
”
Seeing that strangely shaped Spirit Beast, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate, stepping forward to deliver the finishing blow, and immediately following that, a ring of yellow spirit ring appeared.
Out of absolute trust in Master, Huo Yuhao did not consider whether this spirit ring could be absorbed; he simply felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Then he mobilized his Spirit for guidance, absorbing that hundred-year spirit ring.
Huang Jinxu watched from the side, but could not help marveling in wonder.
As expected of the Child of Luck.
Even when restrained by a baleful star, even when the power of the plane temporarily receded, he still bore Heaven-Defying Luck.
This turned out to be a Silver Ying Beast of over six hundred years.
It was delivered right in front of Huo Yuhao in such a barefaced manner.
You must know that back then, he had also wanted to seek this kind of Spirit Beast to act as a spirit ring, but was never able to find one.
Later on, when his cultivation improved, he also fortuitously encountered one, but that Spirit Beast’s age and his own cultivation level completely did not match.
As for Huo Yuhao, right on the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest, he directly encountered an unconscious Silver Ying Beast, and its age was extremely compatible.
This is the Child of Luck; even if because of certain reasons he missed his greatest Opportunity, the power of Luck was still exerting itself, assisting him in obtaining other Opportunities.
The most crucial point was that the Spirit Beast prepared for him by Huang Jinxu was not far from Huo Yuhao; as long as he advanced another dozen meters, he would have been able to discover it.
This was indeed a bit too coincidental.
However, this probing trip was not without any harvest; at least it could be determined that Tang San at the current stage would not stare at Huo Yuhao every second of the day.
The Opportunities possessed by Huo Yuhao were mostly gifts from the plane consciousness.
As for Tang San, they were merely methods left behind at certain nodes.
Thinking about it this way made sense: the Divine Realm and the Douluo Plane were separated not only by a very far distance, but also by different time flow rates, so even if he stared at it constantly, he couldn’t make modifications at the very first moment.
Unless it was a backup plan left previously, or an Incarnation or projection genuinely descending, the things Tang San could accomplish were also limited.
Of course, although the things Tang San did were limited, it did not mean Tang San could not directly flip the table.
Therefore, for certain matters, one still had to pay attention to a sense of propriety.
” Why is there a feeling that the grand trend of the world cannot be changed, while minor matters can be changed?
”
Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu involuntarily smiled.
These truly had nothing to do with him.
He only took Huo Yuhao as a disciple and treated him well, without doing anything harmful to others.
Not only that, he subsequently also wanted to treat Wang Dong well, treat other proud sons of heaven well, grant them assistance, and guard their Dao.
As for them being unlucky, what did that have to do with himself?
That was the affair of the Heavenly Lone Star, what did it have to do with Huang Jinxu.
Moreover, regarding this small-scale circulation of Luck, Huang Jinxu truly did not believe that Tang San could see through it.
While Huang Jinxu was pondering, Huo Yuhao was already facing the most dangerous and critical moment of absorbing the spirit ring.
With Huo Yuhao’s previous physique, let alone absorbing a six-hundred-year-old first spirit ring, even absorbing a hundred-year spirit ring would have been extremely difficult, but in these past seven days, not only did he use three bottles of xuanshui potion, but he also consumed two pieces of thousand-year whale gum, and furthermore, under scientific training, he possessed a good absorption capacity.
Even so, a six-hundred-year-old first spirit ring still carried a huge risk for Huo Yuhao.
But Huang Jinxu was not worried; such a thing happening to someone else might mean bursting to death from too much force, but happening to Huo Yuhao, it was completely different.
Just as Huang Jinxu had guessed, right when Huo Yuhao was facing danger, the Circulating Heavens Astral Formula he Cultivated rapidly began to operate, and while absorbing the spirit ring and Cultivating the cultivation Technique at the same time, he unexpectedly even entered a brief Epiphany state, thereby taking his mastery over the cultivation Technique a step further.
There was actually a feeling of effortless control.
Huang Jinxu’s mindset was truly unbalanced; outrageous, it was truly outrageous.
When he originally reached this step, he had spent a full year and more, yet Huo Yuhao, how long did this take him?
It was not to say that Huo Yuhao’s Comprehension Ability far surpassed his; quite the contrary, having lived two lives and with transcendent Mental Energy, Huang Jinxu’s Comprehension Ability was an existence far surpassing Huo Yuhao, otherwise he wouldn’t have Cultivated to this Realm at his current age while simultaneously creating so many things, and also becoming an Alchemy Great Master and a level 9 Spirit Tool Master.
He reached it purely relying on Comprehension Ability, whereas Huo Yuhao at present was being pushed forward by the power of the plane consciousness.
With this Epiphany, the operating speed of Huo Yuhao’s cultivation Technique reached several times his usual speed, and he successfully absorbed the first spirit ring.
” Good job, return to the academy alone to register.
With your current cultivation, there will be no problem entering normally.
”
” As for recommendation letters and the like, you can just report my name directly.
”
Huang Jinxu did not step forward to come to Huo Yuhao’s side.
After leaving behind these words, he cast his gaze toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, where an extremely powerful old acquaintance had arrived.
The Beast God, Di Tian!
