Chapter 329: Heaven and Earth Luck Art!
"So that's how it is..." Lin Xuan muttered to himself, "Everything was premeditated."
Xiao Qing asked curiously, "What did you think of again?"
"In the final moments of the ancient era," Lin Xuan said slowly, "those great beings foresaw the arrival of the End of Dharma Era. To leave hope for future generations, they sealed away their power, waiting for the right moment to reappear."
"So this current era..." Wang Zhenqiu said, lost in thought.
"That's right." Lin Xuan nodded, "Now is the critical moment! The End of Dharma Era is about to enter its most severe stage, and the entire Cultivation World will face a massive test!"
Qing Bai Er She suddenly flew out from his body and circled in the air. They seemed to have sensed something, emitting bursts of chirping sounds.
"They are pointing the way!" Lin Xuan stood up, "It seems the other Children of Luck have already begun to awaken!"
Xiao Qing hurriedly checked the map: "According to the experimental records, the nearest target is at Dong Hai Zhi Bin. Some strange things have indeed happened there recently."
"Then we go there first." Lin Xuan made his decision, "But before that, we must organize this data."
The three immediately began to divide the work: Xiao Qing was responsible for organizing data and information, Wang Zhenqiu collected intelligence through his connections, and Lin Xuan attempted to awaken his memories more deeply.
"By the way." Xiao Qing suddenly remembered something, "This document mentions a 'Luck Array', which seems to be related to the Ancient Array in that laboratory."
Lin Xuan took the document and looked at it, his eyes lighting up instantly: "This is the key! The locations of those experimental bases are actually nodes of the Ancient Array!"
"You mean..." Wang Zhenqiu wore an expression of surprise.
"The Mysterious Organization wants to utilize these nodes." Lin Xuan explained, "If all the nodes can be activated simultaneously, it could trigger a massive earthquake in the Luck Network!"
Xiao Qing gasped: "That is too crazy!"
"So we must get ahead of them." Lin Xuan said with a firm expression, "Find the other Children of Luck and stop their crazy plan!"
The three looked at each other, seeing determination in each other's eyes. An operation concerning the fate of the Cultivation World had thus begun!
Night fell, and outside the cave, there was thunder and lightning. A storm was brewing, but the three of them were full of energy. Because they knew, this would be a new beginning!
"Let's prepare." Lin Xuan stood up, "Tomorrow morning, we will set off for the East Sea!"
In the cave, the campfire burned quietly.
After a day of rest, Qing Bai Er She finally returned to their peak state. They coiled around Lin Xuan, their eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, what do you want to say?" Lin Xuan could feel that the two spirit snakes had something to say.
Qing She spoke first, its voice resounding directly in Lin Xuan's mind: "It is time to tell you the truth."
Bai She also nodded: "About the secrets of the ancient era, and about your true identity."
Xiao Qing and Wang Zhenqiu both held their breath, listening intently. This might be the critical moment to unravel all the mysteries.
"In the ancient era," Qing She said slowly, "the Cultivation World was in its prime. The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth was abundant, and all things were full of vitality."
Bai She continued: "At that time, there were twelve Guardian Spirit Beasts, each guarding different powers between heaven and earth. For example, the Vermilion Bird guarded the power of fire, Xuanwu guarded the power of water..."
"And we, the Heaven and Earth Twin Snakes," Qing She said, "were responsible for maintaining the balance of Qi Luck."
Lin Xuan was thoughtful: "So that is why you are so compatible with the Qi Luck Power within my body."
"That's right." Bai She nodded, "And we are not just Guardian Spirit Beasts, but also your companions from your past life."
This news shocked everyone. Lin Xuan was even more shaken: "You mean, in my past life, I was..."
"The Master of Qi Luck!" Qing Bai Er She said simultaneously, "The leader of the twelve guardians!"
Xiao Qing asked in surprise: "Twelve guardians? What is that?"
Qing She explained: "Every Guardian Spirit Beast has its own master, and they are the guardians. The guardians maintain the balance of heaven and earth and protect the prosperity of the Cultivation World."
"And you," Bai She looked at Lin Xuan, "as the Master of Qi Luck, command the entire guardian clan."
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered something: "Wait, I remember that Mysterious Person said they had discovered seven Children of Luck..."
"That is because not all guardians chose to reincarnate." Qing She sighed, "Before the arrival of the End of Dharma Era, only seven guardians left behind their inheritance."
"Speaking of the End of Dharma Era," Wang Zhenqiu interjected, "what exactly is it? Why did it happen?"
Bai She's tone became grave: "It was a catastrophe destined long ago. The rules of heaven and earth had operated for countless years and finally began to show signs of fatigue."
"Just as people need to rest," Qing She added, "heaven and earth also need to recuperate. The End of Dharma Era is the dormant period of heaven and earth."
Lin Xuan frowned: "But the Mysterious Organization wants to forcibly change all of this."
"That's right!" Qing Bai Er She warned simultaneously, "Their actions will break the rhythm of the dormancy of heaven and earth and bring about even more terrible disasters!"
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Qing asked anxiously.
Qing She said: "First, we must find the other Children of Luck and awaken the memories within them."
"At the same time," Bai She continued, "we must also search for the other Guardian Spirit Beasts. They are all currently in a state of slumber, waiting to be reawakened."
Lin Xuan suddenly thought of something: "Is the 'Luck Array' mentioned in that ancient manuscript related to this?"
"Indeed." Qing She nodded, "That is actually a contingency we left behind in the ancient era. When all the guardians and spirit beasts reunite, we can activate the array to help heaven and earth pass through the dormant period."
"This is why the Mysterious Organization has been studying those nodes." Bai She added, "They want to activate the array early and forcibly change the rules of heaven and earth."
Lin Xuan was thoughtful: "So we must get ahead of them..."
"But before that," Qing She suddenly said, "we must first teach you a special cultivation method."
Bai She explained: "This is a technique exclusive to the Master of Qi Luck, which will allow you to better control your existing power."
"Great!" Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, "When do we start?"
"Right now." Qing Bai Er She rose into the air simultaneously, circling above Lin Xuan's head, "Are you ready?"
Lin Xuan immediately sat cross-legged, adjusting himself to his best state: "Ready!"
Qing Bai Er She began to chant ancient incantations, and mysterious energy fluctuations echoed in the cave. A golden ball of light was spat out from their mouths and slowly descended into the center of Lin Xuan's brow.
"This is..." Lin Xuan only felt a warm current circulating within his body.
"The Heaven and Earth Luck Art!" Qing She said, "This is the supreme technique you created in your past life."
Bai She added: "It will allow you to perfectly control the Qi Luck Power and even foresee the changes in heaven and earth!"
