In the Towering Heaven Palace of the Black Heaven Sect.
Lan Yu was in the midst of absorbing the Primordial Emperor’s Essence and while Chu Kuangren watched over her, he was also keen on witnessing just how far Lil Bing could bring her cultivation level.
Although Lan Yu was an outer disciple, she possessed remarkable talent as compared to other cultivators, so it was no surprise that she was accepted into the Black Heaven Sect.
After years of learning techniques and utilizing countless resources in the Towering Heaven Palace, Lan Yu had achieved tremendous improvements. She was now inching closer towards the Paradise Realm.
Lan Yu would have been accepted as a proper Daoist by any sage orthodoxies at this point.
“Hmm, your Waterfall Sword Art is decent now, albeit it could use more momentum. Come, watch and learn.” Chu Kuangren released his Daoist Rhymes and a silver-white waterfall was conjured in the air.
The Sword-based Daoist Rhymes clouded the air, creating a majestic phenomenon.
Lil Bing watched from the sidelines and marveled. “That’s amazing.”
Although she had witnessed several elders performing the Waterfall Sword Art, none of them were as fluent as Chu Kuangren.
Like a smooth water stream, the art was second nature for Chu Kuangren.
Under Chu Kuangren’s guidance, Lil Bing achieved remarkable improvements.
“Alright, that’s all for now. You can head aside and practice on your own,” said Chu Kuangren.
Leaning onto a tree trunk, Chu Kuangren murmured the name of the Fantasy Roulette and when the familiar Roulette was in front of him, he could feel his heart breaking.
It had been three years.
In three year’s worth of retreat, Chu Kuangren was so engrossed in the Emperor’s Scripture that he did not even spin the roulette once. Considering that there are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, Chu Kuangren had missed out on more than a thousand spins, forgoing countless treasures and precious items!
“Spin.”
The Fantasy Roulette began to spin.
“Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned a Transcendent Trait, Lucky Halo!”
Gasp…
Chu Kuangren gasped in shock.
He felt lightheaded.
What did he just hear? A Transcendent Grade Trait?
Holy sh*t!
The highest-graded item that he had gotten during his ten consecutive lucky draws was only a God Grade Item!
Yet, now he had earned a Transcendent Grade Trait!
Had the Fantasy Roulette malfunctioned? Or could it be that he had amassed three years of luck on this single spin?
“Lil Bing, come here.”
Chu Kuangren called Lil Bing over and proceeded to pinch her cheeks. “Does it hurt?”
“It does.” Lil Bing stared helplessly at Chu Kuangren.
“Then it isn’t a dream.” Chu Kuangren loosened his grip and rubbed Lil Bing’s face gently. “Alright, that’s all. You may resume your practice now.”
“Master, you’re so annoying.” Lil Bing snorted and stomped out.
Chu Kuangren laughed awkwardly for a moment before he retrieved the Lucky Halo. However, he did not feel any noticeable change at all for possessing the trait.
In the item’s description, it stated that the Lucky Halo was capable of granting unordinary luck to a person.
In other words, it was capable of transforming any misfortune into an auspicious event. For instance, perhaps a legendary beast would walk up and instantly acknowledge Chu Kuangren as its Master while he was just strolling around the streets; or perhaps any basic loot that Chu Kuangren picked up would immediately turn into a legendary-grade item. Perhaps Chu Kuangren would order a drink and another one free-of-charge…
This was a tremendously useful trait for Chu Kuangren to possess. After all, what he needed the most when he spun the Fantasy Roulette was luck!
With this Lucky Halo, Chu Kuangren’s luck would be off the charts, he could be Lady Luck!
Just when Chu Kuangren was fantasizing about becoming Lady Luck, a burst of powerful Daoist Rhymes exploded in Lan Yu’s room. Rays of white light shined above the room, creating a Holy Radiant Intent.
Then, a white crown materialized, and on it were beads of Daoist Pearls. It was a Supreme Foundation Level, the Nine-Pearled Crown!
The phenomenon had shaken many within the Black Heaven Sect.
“It’s a Supreme Foundation Level!”
“This aura seems to belong to Miss Lan Yu. Now, she has transcended into the Battle Monarch Realm and has even formed the Nine-Pearled Crown. What an amazing feat!”
“Looks like the predictor isn’t wrong after all. This lady is remarkable, perhaps she could even rival the Ancient Emperor at some point.”
The Transformation continued for a while.
Then, just like that, it dissipated when Lan Yu walked out of the room.
“Master.”
“Lan Yu, congratulations on successfully absorbing the Primordial Emperor’s Essense. You’ve even transcended into a Battle Monarch and formed the Nine-Pearled Crown.”
Chu Kuangren stepped forward to congratulate Lan Yu.
Lan Yu smiled gently. “I guess it’s just a stroke of luck. While I was absorbing the Primordial Emperor’s Essence, I had a sudden urge to try breaking through into the Battle Monarch Realm. Initially, I had only managed to form a Seven-Pearled Crown.”
“But at the right moment, there was a sudden surge of energy within my body to help me form the Nine-Pearled Crown. It was then that I realized that the Scepter of Light in my body must’ve been affected by the Primordial Emperor’s Essense too. This Sage Ruler Weapon restored a huge chunk of my energy.”
The Scepter of Light was a Sage Ruler Weapon that Chu Kuangren had found in the Honourable Yuan Ling’s Treasury. However, the weapon seemed to have been downgraded to an ordinary Sage Weapon after being used in an unknown war.
Chu Kuangren would never have thought that the weapon would prove itself useful today by aiding Lan Yu in creating her Supreme Foundation Level.
“Now that I think about it, this must be my luck too. Creating the Nine-Pearled Crown was only possible considering that I have the Holy Radiant Physique, the Scepter of Light, and the Primordial Emperor’s Essence. Without any of those, I would’ve failed.”
Luck?
Chu Kuangren’s face lightened up.
He did just retrieve his Lucky Halo. Could it be that the Lucky Halo was capable of influencing not only his luck but others around him too?
Was this the legendary luck?
Chu Kuangren was delighted at this point. After three years of absence from the Fantasy Roulette, Chu Kuangren had gotten back to it just to win an amazing prize. It was all worth it!
…
On the second day.
After cleaning himself up, Chu Kuangren once again summoned the Fantasy Roulette and spun the wheel. He rubbed his palms against each other as his eyes glimmered with excitement.
It was time to put his luck to the test.
Just how powerful could the so-called Lucky Halo be?
“Congratulations, Host. You’ve earned a Starlight Tier Technique, Phantom Light Strike!”
Starlight Tier?
Chu Kuangren’s smile widened and it then turned into a burst of manic laughter. “Muahaha, this is real! I’ve become Lady Luck!”
Outside his room, Lan Yu was just about to knock on his door when she was greeted by Chu Kuangren’s peals of laughter.
She hesitated for a moment. Perhaps it was better that she waited a while longer.
A few moments later, Chu Kuangren’s laughter had gradually quieted down.
Only then did the door finally open.
“Master.”
“Uhh, Lan Yu, how long have you been standing there?” Chu Kuangren was shocked to see her. He was worried that Lan Yu might have overheard his burst of maniacal laughter. How awkward would that be?
Lan Yu smiled gently and said, “I’ve just arrived.”
She knew that her Master was unwilling to let others witness the weird side to his personality, so he wanted to save him the embarrassment.
“Cough, alright then. What’s the matter?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“We have guests in the house. It’s Gu Changge and Princess Linglong from the Royal Azure Dynasty,” Lan Yu said.
“Oh, it’s them.” Chu Kuangren was surprised as well. “Let’s go greet them then. After all, I’m the fiance to the Royal Princess.”
In the Longevity Hall of the Black Heaven Sect.
Elder Ruyan had personally welcomed Gu Changge and Princess Linglong into the premises. By the side, several disciples were staring curiously at their guests, especially the female disciples who were grinding their teeth at Princess Linglong.
She was the one who was married to Elder Senior Brother…
Ah, how maddening!
Although irritated, the female disciples could not deny that Princess Linglong was one of the best when it came to looks, elegance, wealth, status, and cultivation within the entire Firmament Star.
Everyone was aware that they were no match for her.
“Elder Senior Brother is here.”
At that moment, accompanied by Lan Yu, Chu Kuangren made his grand appearance while dressed in a majestic long robe. When Princess Linglong looked over to Chu Kuangren’s direction, her shock was visible.
Three years had passed, yet Chu Kuangren had not changed one bit.
He was still the gentle, elegant, charismatic, unprecedented, unique, excellent, and remarkable person…
Despite having exhausted most of her vocabularies, Princess Linglong still felt that these words were not enough to do Chu Kuangren justice.
