Chapter 369: Making the Fate Wheel

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Families all had rules with regard to Mystical Materials. Not even a future Family Patriarch could have all at his will. Otherwise, the other disciples would not feel fair and it would impact the cohesion in a family.

Of course, if a given future Family Patriarch was very talented, the other disciples wouldn’t disagree if the family were to favor that future Family Patriarch.

Lu Renhuang was a case in point. After all, it would be good to the Lu Family if Lu Renhuang could be more powerful.

That being said, Lu Li and Lu Renhuang’s status were quite different. Lu Li was even beneath Lu Suan and Lu Ni. What was more, Lu Zhengtan was the one in power right now. How dare Patriarch Four and Patriarch Eight just give Lu Li some Mystical Materials and other treasures?

Therefore, in the end, Lu Li only got one share of Mystical Materials for reaching the Fate Wheel Realm. There was a Heaven Serpent Fruit in that as well. Actually, distributing this sort of Mystical Materials should have been approved by Lu Zhengtan first. Yet, given the special identity of Lu Li and his talents, the two patriarchs took the initiative and made the decision. Lu Zhengtan should be fine with them giving away such a small amount of resources.

Lu Li left right away after he got the Mystical Materials for fear that Lu Zhengtan might be back. He also got a copy of secret methods for reaching the Fate Wheel Realm. With that and the Heaven Serpent Fruit, the process would be much easier.

Actually, on the Warlord Album of the Lu Family, there were better ways, yet it was not confirmed that Lu Li was the son of Lu Renhuang, so the two patriarchs were unlikely to provide him with the other sections of the Warlord Album.

Back at the Rising Dragon Pavilion, Lu Li looked for Yu Huashen and Ming Yu to consult them about their experiences on reaching the Fate Wheel Realm. He went into his room after he chatted with Lu Feixue for a bit.

Xuan Wu Realm, Spirit Sea Realm and Soul Pond Realm were laying foundations. Fate Wheel Realm was much different from the previous three realms.

The cultivation on Wu Dao could change one’s fate.

Reaching the Fate Wheel Realm was an effort in changing fate. One Fate Wheel represented 500 years. Also, when a warrior had Fate Wheel, the warrior could fly, which would change fighting abilities substantially.

It could be said that the first three realms were the childhood, and a warrior would be stepping into growth upon reaching the Fate Wheel Realm. Then a warrior would be at the youth stage when stepping into the Eternal Realm and the Noble Lord Realm. The prime of life was at the Human Sovereign Realm when a warrior would experience another great boost.

Lu Li didn’t think about reaching those realms at the moment. He started concentrating on studying the secret method to make a Fate Wheel as soon as he went back to his room. He couldn’t wait. Lu Ling might be back in no time and it was his desire to welcome her with a surprise.

Theoretically speaking, making a Fate Wheel was not that hard at all. But when the Fate Wheel was being coagulated, it could get complicated and the Fate Wheel might fall apart.

There was a folklore—the Fate Wheel was like a growth ring in a tree. The longer the tree lived, the more growth rings there were. People had growth rings as well but they were hidden and invisible.

Therefore, ancestors figured out a way to increase the number of human’s growth rings so as to live longer. It was like a tree only had 10 growth rings but then 100 more were engraved on the tree in advance which meant that in theory, the tree could live for 100 years.

Of course, this was just a story. It was a crude metaphor and not accurate.

As a matter of fact, it was to build a source of life in one’s body using many treasured materials. The source of life could improve people’s physical mechanisms and prolong the aging process, enabling people to be young and more lively.

The source of life was the Fate Wheel. To build a Fate Wheel was difficult. The Mystical Materials required were tested and improved by ancestors after thousands and even millions of trials.

To make a Fate Wheel was not as easy as making something and putting it in the body. The Fate Wheel must not only perfectly align with the body, but it must also completely integrate to fully become a part of the body.

There were three steps in making a Fate Wheel!

The first one was to expel the impurities from the body to make it as pure as a piece of white paper, which would facilitate the integration of Fate Wheel.

The second step was to make the Fate Wheel using profound Xuan Energy in the Spirit Sea and many treasured materials.

The third one was the most critical one—to integrate the Fate Wheel and make it agree with the body perfectly. If not, the Fate Wheel would not be a part of the body and it could fall apart at any time. This was when the Heaven Serpent Fruit came into play.

Hunchback Tian once tried for more than 80 times but failed to reach the Fate Wheel Realm. It was attributable to the fact that he was old. His bodily functions were aging. Given the fact that he had failed many times, the integration could not be achieved. He could only make it after Ye Cha provided him with the Heaven Serpent Fruit.

Lu Li memorized the entire secret method on making Fate Wheel after more than half a day. He didn’t make a rash start. Instead, he went out to dine with Lu Feixue and played a game of go with her. Then he came back to his room to have a rest after some chitchat.

He slept soundly. His body and spirit were at the optimal state. On the second day, he began his efforts.

He took out three pellets and swallowed them. Those pellets were to expel impurities from the body. It was a painful process, after all, the impurities were forced out.

As he expected…

In the time for just one incense stick to burn, Lu Li felt he was burning up. His skin turned red and he felt he was being toasted in an oven.

As a matter of fact, expelling impurities was not that different from being toasted. When Lu Li took the body refining pellets in the old days, he experienced similar effects. The art of iron-making was to put the iron through fire so the impure elements could be driven out.

“So hot…”

Soon, Lu Li realized it was getting hotter and hotter. His skin was burning up. His breaths felt hot as well. That being said, he could stand the pain. Sweat rolled off from his forehead and his clothes were soaked. He seemed to be ignorant of all that and he just sat there with his eyes closed and his legs crossed, motionlessly.

Time pressed on. Every piece of Lu Li’s clothes was soaked. and there were even some steam coming out from him. He looked to be in pain and his muscles trembled.

Gradually…

There was some black liquid coming out. His skin turned tanned and he smelled. He still kept his eyes closed and sat with his legs crossed.

Two hours, 12 hours, 26 hours…

Finally, Lu Li opened his eyes. His eyelids were covered with black filth and he smelled terrible. There was no glow in his eyes. He was shaking and it looked like he could collapse at any moment.

He didn’t have the energy to clean himself. He lay on the ground, panted and rested.

The secret method made it very clear that the longer he rested, the less effective the process of making Fate Wheel would become. Therefore, Lu Li mustn’t take his time.

In just an hour, Lu Li opened his eyes and he sat up again with his legs crossed. This time, he was starting to make the Fate Wheel. Given that he had Heaven Serpent Fruit, as long as he could successfully make the Fate Wheel, the third step would be guaranteed to be successful.

He took out the Mystical Materials one by one. With determination, he took out a dagger and cut himself on his abdomen.

A piece of wound appeared on his abdomen with blood spilling out. Lu Li gasped. He took out some powders and elixirs he had prepared and put them on his cut.

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen didn’t do it this way. This was a secret method from the Lu Family. Fate Wheels built in this way were supposed to be more sturdy, times better than regularly-built ones. Lu Li chose to believe in the secret method provided by the Lu Family.

Regular Fate Wheels could be as hard as Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact, but Heaven Grade Xuan Artifacts were not particularly sturdy at all. Little White could even bit through them. Powerful attacks from warriors of the Eternal Realm could break a Fate Wheel as well.

Big Families all had their own ways to make Fate Wheels sturdier and indestructible.

Fate Wheels were important to warriors. Once a Fate Wheel was broken, the warrior would be greatly impaired and he or she would pass out. Being killed under that circumstance was highly likely.

On the Great Land of China, forces clashed for the sake of supremacy and Bloodline Warriors ran amok; the conflict of the strong threatened to shatter heaven and earth. A young man named Lu Li—nothing more than a humble Coffin Carrier from the Northern Desert—came along with Lu Ling, his sister. The two were regarded as puny insects and bullied, but little did people know that Lu Li had the strongest Bloodline of them all in him. He mounted the most handsome of horses and drank the strongest of wines; He bedded the most beautiful of ladies and murdered the most hated of people; He told a huge lie and carried with him an ill-reputation undeserved; He traveled all by his lonesome and danced with devils; He had given his word that he would come back, that he would be strong. And it was because of this that she was still waiting in the city—alone.
