Chapter 2613: So-called qi luck is merely a possibility

The entire Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace was shrouded in black clouds, a thick ominous presence, misfortune, utterly detested by the human race's heavenly way, a person fated by heaven to be ill-omened.

Boom—

Suddenly, a terrifying Lei Ting shot down from the heavens, striking the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace straight on, leaving a blackened scorch mark on the palace, and even some Lei Ting surged into the palace, landing on a blue-clad youth, causing a few strands of his hair to flutter and curl slightly.

"Oh?"

Jiang Ding's eyes flickered coldly.

His black and white glowing eyes scanned the entire starfield, deeply analyzing the starfield space, heavenly way, rules, causality, seasons, and all such factors at this moment.

"Coincidence."

Jiang Ding narrowed his eyes.

He saw the heavenly way turning, rules flowing, and by chance, the power of the Lei Ting Dao rules leaked out, birthing Lei Ting nearly at the level of a forbidden zone ancient emperor, and by chance it fell into a tiny flaw in the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, and by chance it struck him, by chance by chance by chance...

Countless coincidences piled up, finally forming this terrifying Lei Ting that could inevitably slay all ancient emperors below the forbidden zone!

Between the bursts of black and white light, chains of causality law and temporal law appeared before Jiang Ding, letting him know many things that would happen and many possibilities in the coming years.

If he stood up and took a step, he would inevitably tread on empty ground and fall, due to hidden foundation dangers, because cracks had appeared for various reasons, leading to this result; if he continued sitting, a broken sword-shaped Shi Zhu would fall in nine minutes and twenty-seven seconds, smashing his head, with power equivalent to the peak strike of an Emperor realm cultivator burning himself;

If he fell into cultivation, in three minutes...

One kind of possibility after another, one kind of future after another appeared in Jiang Ding's eyes, flashing like a lantern, the heavens and earth full of killing intent, doing nothing invites misfortune, the more one does, the more misfortune comes, utterly a dead end.

Jiang Ding chose to do nothing.

He lifted his eyelids, completely ignoring all these things.

Nine minutes later, the roof beam above his head shattered due to hidden dangers, a sword-shaped Shi Zhu fragment carrying coincidentally generated heaven-earth sword intent struck down, landing on his head, shattering his skull and sending out sparks;

Twelve minutes later, a spatial crack appeared near him, slicing him into thousands of pieces;

Fourteen minutes later, his internal meridians became disordered, threatening to draw him into qi deviation...

One kind of misfortune after another, one kind of disaster after another emerged, internal and external, tangible and intangible, all kinds of dazzling coincidences falling one after another on the blue-clad youth, making Yue Yin Ancient Emperor, Fusang, and Gong Caiyu and several others feel chills to the bone, any ancient emperor here could not possibly survive ten days.

However, the blue-clad youth?

Unharmed.

Not affecting his enlightenment, refining flying swords, teaching cultivators of the immortal dynasty at all levels, affecting nothing, this misfortune did not spread outward, affecting anyone, all misfortune only greeted him alone—this is not because the human race's heavenly way does not want to, but because it cannot. Years later, Jiang Ding, wrapped in countless misfortunes, opened his eyes and handed Fusang a jade slip.

"What is this?"

Fusang asked curiously, the two women beside her also looking over, their divine senses entering it, and indeed it was: "Investigation of Hidden Dangers in the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace Demon-Slaying Sword Formation—Using the Human Race's Heavenly Way's Qi Luck."

This is a lengthy treatise, detailing in great detail the various large and small hidden dangers of the immortal formation, and methods of improvement.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Fusang hurriedly arranged for people to handle it.

This improvement involved many things, minute and complex, numerous guest ancient emperors, Emperor realm cultivators, and the vast talent pool of the immortal dynasty were mobilized, jointly modifying the immortal formation, the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor's immortal soul likewise handling these matters, but he was very stingy, only handling the most core and difficult parts, leaving the rest undone due to laziness.

The divine soul computing power of the forbidden zone ancient emperors is extremely precious and will not be applied to minor matters.

This is a great boon for numerous ancient emperors, Emperor realm cultivators, and even more immortal dynasty cultivators, because doing work earns corresponding remuneration, subordinates need achievements.

Years later, the entire Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace Demon-Slaying Sword Formation was completed in its renovation.

Hum—

Hummm... the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace Demon-Slaying Sword Formation underwent a very rapid restart, and afterward all powerful beings keenly noticed, the grand formation was instantly different.

Operation became more round and smooth, more flawless, more unimpeded.

Although no qualitative change occurred, no higher level reached, it was obviously much stronger than before, from response efficiency, formation precision to formation efficacy, all improved significantly, like a Wu Lin master suddenly gaining enlightenment overnight, making up for his many defects, entering the Golden Body flawless realm.

"Eh?"

Fusang and the others were delighted.

The three women suddenly noticed that the swords, spatial cracks, Lei Jie, and so on that occasionally fell on the blue-clad youth instantly vanished, all became calm, with no more chaos, and all kinds of accidents capable of killing ordinary ancient emperors instantly disappeared.

However, from viewing the qi luck heavenly eye, the blue-clad youth still appeared to have misfortune pressing down, black clouds rolling, filling the star river, not the slightest change.

"So-called human race qi luck backlash, nothing more than this."

"Too weak."

Jiang Ding slowly opened his eyes, speaking lightly.

So-called qi luck is merely a kind of possibility.

When qi luck flourishes, it amplifies good possibilities; when qi luck backlashes, it amplifies many bad-direction possibilities. Placed in a flourishing dynasty, if a king has deep foundations, qi luck backlash influence is minor, at most severely damaging rule.

But placed in a declining dynasty, or even a usurped dynasty, the influence of qi luck backlash is great, very likely due to soldiers gambling and losing, soldiers' food being slightly worse, and other trivial reasons causing the entire army to rebel overnight, the king being killed by rebel troops storming the palace, the dynasty overturned.

This is the relationship between foundations and qi luck.

Placed within the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty, the situation becomes even more extreme and terrifying.

At least ninety percent of the entire Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty's military strength rests on the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor alone!

Such centralization pushed to the extreme, so-called qi luck backlash is utterly not a trivial itch, but rather helps him find out various tiny possibilities, one by one, to investigate them.

"As long as Your Majesty is unharmed, that's good."

"As for the future..."

Fusang felt some worry.

Now it affects nothing, but later in battle, or in more dangerous times, perhaps many extremely dangerous possibilities will arise, possibly leading to the foundation of the immortal way being buried.

"No need to worry."

"The human race's heavenly way is ruthless and cunning, cold and unfeeling, it will forever be unable to favor any living being, especially a relatively weak one." Jiang Ding spoke indifferently.

The human race's heavenly way now favors the Sun Ancient Emperor, because of the Sun Ancient Emperor's merits to the human race, his blows against foreign races.

Therefore, the human race's heavenly way backlashes the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor, giving him misfortune pressing down as negative suppression, letting the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor fall into misfortune, giving the Sun Ancient Emperor an opportunity.

But if the Sun Ancient Emperor does not seize this opportunity to come kill him, then in the human race's heavenly way's view, it is incompetence, it is weakness.

The human race's heavenly way will not continue to favor the weak.

This is what is meant by: when Heaven offers and one does not take, one instead incurs blame.
