Chapter 347: Another Mutation Arises, The Fourth Awakening

"Let's try it." Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and began to attempt the new cultivation method.

In an instant, a peculiar feeling surged into his heart. He discovered that his control over the Qi Luck Power had become more refined, and he could even perceive subtle fluctuations that he had been unable to detect before.

"This is..." Lin Xuan opened his eyes abruptly, "The aura of an Outer-Heaven Force!"

Li Yan and Ling Bo had similar realizations. This cultivation method could not only improve their strength but also help them perceive and resist the Outer-Heaven Force.

"The guardians were indeed prepared long ago." Huo Fenghuang exclaimed, "These are all special measures aimed at the Outer-Heaven Force."

Just as the three were preparing to continue their in-depth research, Xuanwu suddenly sent a warning: "There are special energy fluctuations ahead!"

Following the sensation, the three arrived deep within the base and discovered a special mirror in a secret room.

"This mirror..." Ling Bo examined it carefully, "does not seem to be an ordinary Dharma Artifact."

Lin Xuan attempted to inject a trace of Qi Luck Power. Immediately, ripples appeared on the mirror's surface, and strange images emerged.

"Heavens!" The three gasped in unison.

What appeared in the mirror was the true form of the Outer-Heaven Force! Those technological creations that transcended cognition, the bizarre energy bodies, and the various schemes they had laid in the dark were all clearly displayed before the three.

"We have finally seen the true face of the enemy." Li Yan's expression was grave, "They are even more terrifying than we imagined."

However, what was even more surprising was that the mirror also displayed the activity trajectories of the Outer-Heaven Force in the current world.

"These red dots..." Lin Xuan pointed to the marks in the mirror, "are all their hidden strongholds!"

Ling Bo analyzed: "They seem to be constructing a special Energy Network, wanting to affect the foundation of our world."

Just at this moment, the three discovered an ancient scroll in the corner of the secret room. This was actually a detailed record of the guardians' resistance against the Outer-Heaven Force!

"This is too important!" Lin Xuan couldn't wait to unfold the scroll, "These lessons learned are simply priceless treasures to us."

The three studied the records carefully. In the process of resisting the Outer-Heaven Force, the guardians had accumulated a wealth of valuable experience. For example, how to see through their disguises, how to crack their special technologies, and so on.

"With this information..." Li Yan's confidence increased greatly, "we finally have hope for victory."

The new cultivation method allowed the strength of the three to improve rapidly, while the discovery of the mirror gave them a clearer understanding of the enemy. Coupled with the experience left behind by the guardians, they finally had the capital to resist the Outer-Heaven Force.

"However, time is tight." Lin Xuan looked at the various anomalies displayed in the mirror, "The infiltration of the Outer-Heaven Force has reached a quite serious level."

Li Yan nodded: "We must seize the time to improve our strength, and at the same time, we must find the other key nodes as soon as possible."

"Let's split up." Ling Bo proposed, "You two are responsible for finding and repairing the nodes, and I will stay here to continue studying these materials."

The three quickly reached a consensus. Before leaving, Lin Xuan took another look at that special mirror. The images displayed in the mirror made his determination to fight even firmer.

"This time..." Lin Xuan's gaze was firm, "we must protect this world well!"

The three Guardian Spirit Beasts in the base resonated, as if responding to their master's determination. A great war concerning the survival of the world was about to unfold in full scale!

Inside the Cangshulou of the Yuangu Jidi, the three were concentrating on studying the materials left by the guardians. Suddenly, the three Guardian Spirit Beasts issued a warning simultaneously!

"This feeling..." Qingbai Jushe slithered restlessly, "so familiar yet strange."

Huo Fenghuang spread its wings and circled: "That's right, this aura is very similar to the Qi Luck Power, but it's also a bit different."

The phantom of Xuanwu also resonated: "It seems that new Qi Luck is gestating!"

"Could it be..." Lin Xuan was thoughtful, "that the fourth Child of Luck is about to appear?"

The three immediately put down the books in their hands and began to carefully calculate the source of this special aura.

"According to ancient records..." Ling Bo checked the materials, "there should only be three Children of Luck."

Li Yan, however, put forward a different view: "But the current situation is completely different from the ancient times. The invasion of the Outer-Heaven Force has broken the original balance."

Just as the three were discussing, various forces also sensed this change. The Mysterious Organization, the Green-Robed Person, and even some reclusive sects began to take action.

"The situation is not right!" Xiao Qing suddenly sent a message, "Signs of awakening have appeared in more than one place!"

"What?" The three were shocked at the same time.

Soon, more news arrived. In different places, multiple Houxuanzhe suspected to be the fourth Child of Luck had appeared simultaneously!

"This situation has never appeared in ancient records." Lin Xuan frowned, "We must investigate clearly as soon as possible."

The three quickly discussed countermeasures and decided to split up. Lin Xuan was responsible for the eastern region, Li Yan went to the south, and Ling Bo investigated clues in the north.

"Be sure to be careful." Before leaving, Lin Xuan specifically exhorted, "Other forces will definitely make a move as well."

Each of the three took their Guardian Spirit Beast and began their journey of investigation. Soon, some astonishing discoveries surfaced.

The Houxuanzhe Lin Xuan found in the east was a young martial artist. The aura on his body was indeed similar to the Qi Luck Power, but what was even more concerning was a special mark on his arm.

"This mark..." Qingbai Jushe observed carefully, "seems to be a symbol of the Outer-Heaven Force!"

At the same time, Li Yan also had an important discovery in the south. The Houxuanzhe he found was a reclusive expert, and the other party's cultivation technique actually contained some special techniques of the Outer-Heaven Force.

"How did he master these?" Huo Fenghuang let out a puzzled cry.

Ling Bo's discovery was even more unsettling. Although the Houxuanzhe she found in the north had ordinary strength, their understanding of the Outer-Heaven Force was quite deep.

"This is not normal." Xuanwu reminded, "It seems that every Houxuanzhe has some kind of connection with the Outer-Heaven Force."

The three kept in touch through the Guardian Spirit Beasts, exchanging their respective findings.

"Could it be that the Outer-Heaven Force is playing tricks?" Li Yan raised a question, "Are they deliberately creating these illusions?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. The fluctuations of the Qi Luck Power on these Houxuanzhe are all very real."

"Wait!" Ling Bo suddenly thought of something, "Do you still remember the 'Outer-Heaven Spies' mentioned in the ancient records?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three were all shocked. Back then, the Outer-Heaven Force had sent spies to infiltrate the guardian group; could they be repeating the same trick now?

"But what is their purpose?" Li Yan was puzzled, "Why create multiple Houxuanzhe?"

Just as the three were puzzled, the Mysterious Organization suddenly made a move. They launched a snatching attempt on several Houxuanzhe at the same time!

"Not good!" Lin Xuan's expression changed, "The Mysterious Organization wants to control the fourth Child of Luck!"
