not only the northern slopes, but the southern foothills as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the southern forest stood firm, its branches shaking endlessly amidst the Spiritual Energy storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tallest and oldest tree among them was precisely Lei Jun’s goal: the Ancient Divine Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived beneath the Ancient Divine Tree, he saw at its roots, half-buried in stone and soil, a flicker of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a seed were incubating there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple in color, the seed shimmered with starlight; sword qi bristled and surged out from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun observed a while, then pointed his finger in the direction of the purple seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once touched by his mana, the purple Immortal Seed unfurled at once and transformed into a thread of illusory purple light, hovering in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the purple radiance, a galaxy of stars seemed to swirl, while the purple glow itself remained unmoved, steadfast at the center, ruling over all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling its artistic conception, Lei Jun understood,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was one of the six great treasures of Mount Shu—the Ziwei Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, it was not the Ziwei Sword itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it was a sword mark left behind by the Ziwei Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhat like when, after the Celestial Master’s Sword was lost, accidental scratches were left behind, providing Tang Xiaotang, Li Zhengxuan, and the others clues in their search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this particular Ziwei Sword mark clearly bore the signs of ritual refinement by human hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Was this the Fourth-Rank Opportunity mentioned in the moderately good lot, or the Third-Rank Opportunity?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on past experiences with the Celestial Master Seal and Celestial Master Robe, clues to the Ziwei Sword like this were usually Fourth-Rank Opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*But what did a Third-Rank Opportunity look like?* Lei Jun guessed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as the Immortal Seed sprouted and grew, concentrating intently, as if witnessing the passage of time itself and the shifting of ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*His usual habit had always been to grab the item and leave, waiting for peace and quiet later on to study it in detail.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he sensed that the purple light now seemed linked to the misty confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*If he seized it right away, the mist would dissipate quickly.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun pondered briefly and chose not to take the purple light immediately; instead, he cast the dim light of the Mysterious Void Mirror, veiling himself and staying alert for any activity nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, since he had a moment to wait, he studied the purple glow a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Lei Jun felt as if he walked on a road, one trodden by another before him, following its path and glimpsing the journey and experiences of that person.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Donglou’s journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun watched the back of the man ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, like other Shu Mountain cultivators, wore plain clothes and hempen shoes, but his hair hung wild and loose; though it was only his back, he radiated carefree confidence and untamed spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of the Stone Forest of Nanzhao appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Chen Donglou had come there first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was in the Stone Forest of Nanzhao that he found the mark of the Ziwei Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he refined it along the way, continuing his search for the Ziwei Sword, until at last arriving here by Ancient Wood Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun narrowed his eyes, because according to what appeared within the purple light, the void at Ancient Wood Mountain warped, forming a Void Gateway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the loss of the Ziwei Sword, this futile search—was it all tied to an alien void?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Donglou obviously suspected as much, and, desirous to explore, stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a world of darkness, as if underground, where only faint glimmers of light flickered—utterly desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching through its depths for some time, Chen Donglou encountered the native people dwelling there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Jiuli People?\" Lei Jun took in their features and dress, immediately matching them to descriptions in the ancient texts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this Void Gateway at Ancient Wood Mountain led directly to the Earth Sea, one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This was more than Lei Jun had anticipated.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what did come as no surprise was that Chen Donglou fought fiercely with the Jiuli People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They battled furiously, until at last a mighty Jiuli cultivator of the Nine Heavens Realm joined the fray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his cultivation fell short by one realm, this brazen, wild Great Sword Cultivator was never cowed, and fought his opponent to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from briefly sending the Ziwei Sword Mark back to the human world in the region of Ancient Wood Mountain, Chen Donglou never once backed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven-Star Sword shone to the sky, flashing back and forth between the bright world above and the darkness of the Earth Sea below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they broke each other, both gravely wounded, and even the Void Gateway itself was destroyed, separating the Earth Sea from the Mortal World once more.\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-06T15:54:08.403Z",1,"novelbin.me","28099c9381b3efd0b95686046abb5ea80a029e009574bcf83606df7014431259","cultivation-fortune-by-lots-chapter-581","cultivation-fortune-by-lots-chapter-579",801,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-fortune-by-lots-cover.jpg"]
