Chapter 535: The Birth of the Rules of Living Being Luck

Just as Xue Yu was piloting the flying boat, sailing majestically toward the Gui Sect.

Inside the main hall of the Gui Sect, which had already received the news, several Void Penetration Realm powerhouses were seated. Sitting in the seat of honor was an old man with a long white beard.

This person was named Zong Zong Daoji, the oldest ancestor currently existing in the Gui Sect, without exception.

Ever since Zong Zong Daoji emerged over 20,000 years ago and joined the Gui Sect, his cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Void Penetration Realm in one go and suppressing the East Pole Province.

Then, Zong Zong Daoji continued to stay in the East Pole Province for several hundred more years.

Finally, after he perceived the difficulty of seeking the Dao in the East Pole Domain at that time.

Only then did he make up his mind to leave the East Pole Domain, crossing the endless sea to cultivate in the Eastern Domain, one of the five domains within the Di Li Xuan Realm. During this period, he even became a guest elder of a Void Meditation level force in the Eastern Domain.

Having cultivated in the Eastern Domain for nearly 20,000 years, although he had not yet crossed that critical step, his cultivation base had already reached the peak of the Void Penetration Realm.

He was only one step away from the Void Meditation Realm.

But it was precisely this one step that made Zong Zong Daoji feel a shackle like a natural chasm, unable to advance even an inch for a long time.

Later, the Green Demon Realm invaded the Di Li Xuan Realm. The clash between the two realms caused the laws of heaven and earth to manifest, and cultivators from both sides could plunder everything from the other to serve as provisions for their own cultivation, allowing the Di Li Xuan Realm to enter a great era of cultivation.

Zong Zong Daoji thus perceived a glimmer of opportunity from this, sensing in the dark that his opportunity for enlightenment did not lie in the Eastern Domain, but in the East Pole Domain, the place where he first began his cultivation.

It was just that whenever he thought of the extremely poor environment for seeking the Dao in the East Pole Domain at that time, he questioned his own intuition.

Especially with the appearance of wormhole passages, human cultivators could enter the Green Demon Realm to hunt, obtain the Source of Demon Veins, and offer them as sacrifices to temporarily boost their comprehension and enter a state of enlightenment.

Therefore, for the next few hundred years, he directly ignored his own intuition and kept fighting in the Green Demon Realm, plotting to obtain seventh-order Demon Vein Sources, and then bringing them back to the Di Li Xuan Realm to offer as sacrifices.

Unfortunately, although he relied on the trump cards he had accumulated over the long years to successfully plunder three seventh-order Demon Vein Sources in the Green Demon Realm and bring them back to the Di Li Xuan Realm.

But the improvement in comprehension brought by sacrificing seven Demon Vein Sources was not enough to allow him to have a sudden enlightenment of the rules, elevate his main cultivation rule source to the level of the fourth-layer realm, and make a critical breakthrough.

Later, as time passed, the Gui Sect in the East Pole Domain successively gave birth to new Void Penetration Realm powerhouses during the process of hunting in the Green Demon Realm.

These newly broken-through Void Penetration Realm powerhouses of the Gui Sect contacted Zong Zong Daoji using the secret techniques left behind by him previously, in order to seek guidance from this ancestor.

Only then did Zong Zong Daoji learn that after the laws of heaven and earth in the Di Li Xuan Realm were semi-manifested and the stability of heaven and earth was reinforced, the environment for seeking the Dao in the East Pole Domain had already been greatly improved, and now it was no worse than the five domains within the Di Li Xuan Realm.

After receiving this information, Zong Zong Daoji's intuition became even stronger; thus, after weighing it for a long time, he finally made up his mind to follow his intuition.

He prepared to pay a certain price to break away from the previous Void Meditation level force.

Fortunately, he was originally only a guest, not a powerhouse who had grown up in that force since childhood, so after paying a certain price, he achieved his goal.

After regaining his freedom, Zong Zong Daoji spent another not-so-short period of time crossing the endless sea.

After enduring all kinds of hardships, Zong Zong Daoji finally returned to the Gui Sect in the East Pole Province of the East Pole Domain ten years ago.

And by virtue of his extremely strong cultivation strength and the oldest seniority, Zong Zong Daoji directly took control of the entire Gui Sect after returning.

Even the existing Void Penetration Realm powerhouses of the Gui Sect had to submit to Zong Zong Daoji.

The existing Void Penetration Realm powerhouses of the Gui Sect, except for the three who broke through within the Gui Sect after the great era arrived.

The other few Void Penetration Realm powerhouses, like Zong Zong Daoji, were all powerhouses born in the Gui Sect thousands or tens of thousands of years ago.

They had previously left the East Pole Domain because the environment for seeking the Dao in the East Pole Domain was too poor, and now they had returned to the East Pole Domain to develop because the gap between the environment for seeking the Dao in the East Pole Domain and the five domains within the Di Li Xuan Realm had narrowed.

After all, they were all powerhouses who had grown up from the Gui Sect, and the Gui Sect carried the journey of their constant transformation from weakness to Void Penetration Realm magnates.

And only in the Gui Sect could they truly integrate into it without being excluded by other cultivators.

In the Eastern Domain where powerhouses were everywhere, Void Penetration Realm powerhouses like them who joined temporarily and whose talent could not be considered stunning could at most obtain a guest position in the forces of the Eastern Domain, unable to truly integrate into those forces.

Therefore, after the environment for seeking the Dao in the East Pole Domain changed, they successively left those forces in the Eastern Domain and returned to the Gui Sect, attempting to thoroughly develop the Gui Sect in the great era, or even dominate the East Pole Domain.

Not only the Gui Sect, but as the great era of cultivation arrived, the environment for seeking the Dao in the four domains outside the Di Li Xuan Realm changed.

Those powerhouses who had previously walked out of the four domains outside the Di Li Xuan Realm were now also successively returning to the four outer domains, attempting to develop in the East Pole Domain and lead the forces they came from to fight for the status of overlord of the great domain.

Even Zong Zong Daoji, who was already at the peak of the Void Penetration Realm in the Gui Sect, could not be considered among the absolute peaks among the powerhouses returning to the four domains outside the Di Li Xuan Realm.

After all, over the long years, too many powerhouses had walked out of the four domains outside the Di Li Xuan Realm.

It was just that most of the powerhouses who walked out of the four domains outside the Di Li Xuan Realm, as long as they were above the Void Penetration Realm, had basically integrated into the five domains within the Di Li Xuan Realm.

After all, powerhouses above the Void Penetration Realm could be considered as existence with deep foundations even in the five inner domains where powerhouses were everywhere.

Such powerhouses, even if they joined halfway, could already control certain real power in forces under the top forces of the five inner domains and formally integrate into them.

Therefore, among the powerhouses currently returning to the four domains outside the Di Li Xuan Realm, although there were existences surpassing the Void Penetration Realm, they were extremely rare.

Among these returning powerhouses, most were still dominated by the Void Penetration Realm.

For example, the few Void Penetration Realm magnates born in the Gui Sect, including Zong Zong Daoji, were like this.

Among the powerhouses returning to the Gui Sect, except for Zong Zong Daoji who had a cultivation base at the peak of the Void Penetration Realm, the other few Void Penetration Realm powerhouses only had cultivation bases at the early or mid-stage of the Void Penetration Realm.

Therefore, after Zong Zong Daoji returned to the Gui Sect ten years ago, he was able to suppress the other few Void Penetration Realm powerhouses in a very short time and take control of the entire Gui Sect.

And just after completely taking control of the entire Gui Sect, Zong Zong Daoji sensed a special power beginning to slowly gather on himself.

This power, as Zong Zong Daoji learned from the perception of the laws of heaven and earth, was named Living Being Luck.

Under the blessing of this Living Being Luck, Zong Zong Daoji's comprehension and spiritual energy swallowing speed were slightly improved.

Although this improvement was small, it was persistent.

And Zong Zong Daoji could sense that if the strength of the Gui Sect and the influence of the force were improved, then the Living Being Luck gathered on him would also gradually increase, and the amplification effect brought about would also be better.

The birth of this Living Being Luck was actually a change made recently by the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm after clashing with the laws of heaven and earth of the Green Demon Realm.

In the struggle between the two realms, besides the collision between the laws of heaven and earth, there was also the struggle between the living beings of the two realms.

Especially when the laws of heaven and earth of the two realms were evenly matched, the clash between the living beings of each other became particularly important. And the birth of Living Being Luck was a special operating mechanism of the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm that changed in order to encourage the powerhouses of the Di Li Xuan Realm to cultivate more powerhouses.

As long as the powerhouse who controlled a force had more living beings protected under their force, gave birth to more powerhouses, and had greater influence in the Di Li Xuan Realm, the gathered Living Being Luck would be stronger.

And after the birth of Living Being Luck, from now on, if cultivators of the Di Li Xuan Realm slaughtered too many living beings of the Di Li Xuan Realm, they would suffer the disgust and rejection of the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm, increasing the difficulty of breaking through and the power of the lightning tribulation when breaking through.

When killing the master of a force who possessed Living Being Luck, the more Living Being Luck gathered on the master of the force, the more obvious this situation would be.

This point of the operating rules of Living Being Luck was an operating rule derived by the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm in order to avoid large-scale infighting among the living beings within the realm.

Besides this, the actions of cultivators in various forces within the Di Li Xuan Realm, besides affecting themselves, would also affect the forces they belonged to.

It was as if the evil consequences caused by cultivators in the Di Li Xuan Realm were shared by the cultivators themselves and the forces they belonged to in a certain proportion.

However, the disgust and rejection of the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm could be offset, weakened, or even directly eliminated through contributions made to the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Living Being Luck obtained.

That is to say, if the contributions made to the Di Li Xuan Realm and the gathered Living Being Luck were enough, enough to offset the backlash of Living Being Luck after you slaughtered tens of millions of living beings and killed one master of a force after another, there would still be some left.

Then the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm would not produce any disgust or rejection toward you.

In the final analysis, the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm did not have intelligence.

The appearance of Living Being Luck was just a change in the operation of the rules made by the laws of heaven and earth in order for the Di Li Xuan Realm to become stronger and avoid being swallowed by the Green Demon Realm in the future.

It was just that the mechanism of Living Being Luck in the Di Li Xuan Realm had just been born, so the number of cultivators who could sense the changes in it for the time being was very few.

One reason was that the mechanism of Living Being Luck had just been born and was not yet thoroughly perfected for the time being.

The laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm had not yet incorporated it into the system of the laws of heaven and earth to become a complete operating rule of the Di Li Xuan Realm.

The second reason was that the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm were currently being pulled by too much power from the laws of heaven and earth of the Green Demon Realm, and were temporarily unable to nurture and perfect Living Being Luck and popularize the rules of Living Being Luck throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm.

Therefore, for the future development of the Di Li Xuan Realm, the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm began to instinctively seek change, randomly selecting a very small number of suitable living beings as pilots for the rules of Living Being Luck.

Wait until the system of the rules of Living Being Luck is gradually perfected and grown in the pilot.

The laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm could then incorporate the rules of Living Being Luck into its own system in one go.

While adding a rule of heaven and earth operation to strengthen its own power, the perfected and grown rules of Living Being Luck could also be directly popularized throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm.

In this way, there would be no need to dilute the power of the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm itself to forcibly perfect the rules of Living Being Luck.

And Zong Zong Daoji was one of the cultivators randomly selected by the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Li Xuan Realm as a pilot for the rules of Living Being Luck.

If the Gui Sect continued to develop under Zong Zong Daoji's control, it might not have no chance to achieve some success, and it was even expected to be promoted to one of the overlords of the East Pole Domain.

It was just a pity... After Zong Zong Daoji sensed this change in Living Being Luck, Zong Zong Daoji at that time was directly ecstatic, finally confirming that his intuition in the dark was not wrong.

The Gui Sect was the place where his true opportunity for seeking the Dao lay.

Therefore, after completely taking control of the Gui Sect.

Zong Zong Daoji contacted other Void Penetration Realm powerhouses born in the Gui Sect in the Eastern Domain, persuading them to return, wanting to use this to strengthen the Gui Sect's strength.

On the other hand, he began to vigorously cultivate the middle and low-order cultivators of the Gui Sect, preparing for the future development of the Gui Sect.

In this process, Zong Zong Daoji learned that the Gui Sect's long-lost inheritance small divine ability, the Death Curse Technique, had appeared in the world and had been snatched away by the East Li Xuan City of Star Fall Province.

Moreover, East Li Xuan City also protected the person the Gui Sect was hunting down and severely injured the Gui Sect's previous Dharma-protecting elder.

After investigating certain intelligence about East Li Xuan City and learning that East Li Xuan City was only a force that had risen in Star Fall Province in the last thousand years, Zong Zong Daoji immediately had the idea of using East Li Xuan City to establish his prestige.

After all, a force that had only risen in the last thousand years meant that it lacked the foundation of powerhouses, so there was no need to worry that the other side also had powerhouses returning from the Eastern Domain.

Therefore, Zong Zong Daoji, who was already at the peak of the Void Penetration Realm, was not wary of East Li Xuan City.

Therefore, in order to snatch back the Gui Sect's long-lost small divine ability, the Death Curse Technique, and also to propagate the Gui Sect's prestige in the East Pole Province and enhance the Gui Sect's influence in the East Pole Domain.

Not long ago, Zong Zong Daoji dispatched a Void Penetration Realm powerhouse to Star Fall Province to further investigate the strength of East Li Xuan City, and at the same time, he also had the Gui Sect's cultivators directly take action to destroy East Li Xuan City's branch city in the East Pole Province.

Only then did the subsequent series of events happen.

If it weren't for the fact that after destroying East Li Xuan City's branch city in the East Pole Province, the Living Being Luck gathered on Zong Zong Daoji did not increase but decreased, causing a burst of unease in his heart.

Zong Zong Daoji would have long since crossed several great provinces and gone to Star Fall Province to personally take action to destroy East Li Xuan City's main city.

Fortunately, after destroying East Li Xuan City's branch city in the East Pole Province, the Gui Sect's influence in the East Pole Province had improved, and coupled with the recent return of a Void Penetration Realm powerhouse of the Gui Sect from the Eastern Domain.

The Living Being Luck gathered on Zong Zong Daoji gradually made up for the initial state, and the unease in Zong Zong Daoji's heart gradually subsided.

It was precisely because of this that after he sent a Void Penetration Realm mid-stage powerhouse to Star Fall Province, he only had him investigate the detailed strength of East Li Xuan City in Star Fall Province and did not have him do any other outrageous actions.

In the main hall, after the atmosphere was silent for a moment, Zong Zong Daoji slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Others are about to fight their way to our door, what do you all say we should do?"

After Zong Zong Daoji spoke, the silence in the Gui Sect's main hall was finally broken, and other voices appeared:

"Since the other side is prepared to fight directly to our Gui Sect's sect station, why don't we wait for them to come?"

"Yes, a mere East Li Xuan City is not worth us making a big fuss."

"Exactly, it's nothing more than two Void Penetration Realm powerhouses. We can just open the sect-protecting formation and wait for their arrival."

"Open the sect-protecting formation? Is there a need for this? The other side only has two Void Penetration Realm powerhouses, and our Gui Sect, not to mention the sect master's strength, even the few of us should be enough to take them down, right?"

"Opening the sect-protecting formation is not to deal with the enemy, but to protect the disciples with weak cultivation in the sect from being affected by the aftermath of the Void Penetration Realm battle."

"In that case, I have no objection!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"
