Chapter 166: Mysterious Incantation, Sack of Money

Following the deaths of the group, the Emperor Road Luck of over a dozen people converged onto Lin Xueer's emperor seal, causing its color to turn silver. Upon closer inspection, one could see a faint hint of pale gold.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, 'arson and murder bring a golden belt'; the Opportunities he painstakingly stole weren't nearly as fast as the wealth gained from a single robbery.

Lin Xueer put away the Cold Emperor Pearl, returning to her previous gentle appearance.

She walked to Zhou Chen's side and asked softly, "Brother Zhou, am I… am I very cruel?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen doted on her by rubbing her hair and smiled. "In the cultivation world, being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself. You did well."

With a casual wave of his hand, he collected the Storage Rings and Magic Treasures from the ground and tossed them to Lin Xueer without even looking. "The spoils of war, keep them safe."

Lin Xueer nodded obediently and accepted the items with great docility.

"Let's go. Don't let this trash waste our time for treasure hunting."

Considering Lin Xueer's speed wasn't fast, Zhou Chen directly took out a shuttle he had stolen on the Emperor Road and sped away with Lin Xueer on board.

In the time that followed, Lin Xueer witnessed a scene that defied her imagination.

Zhou Chen seemed to be a Child of Destiny; everywhere he went, Opportunities were everywhere.

Lin Xueer could swear she had never seen such a dense concentration of Opportunities in her life.

One after another, they were like leeks that could never be fully harvested.

Furthermore, Zhou Chen could always precisely avoid all sorts of lethal Restrictions and dangers, then find an enviable Opportunity in a seemingly ordinary place.

It felt as if… these Opportunities belonged to Zhou Chen and were lining up to deliver themselves to him via automatic navigation. Could it be related to the incantation Zhou Chen was chanting? A strange expression rose on Lin Xueer's face.

"Xueer, look at that rock. Doesn't it look like a little turtle? I bet there's an Opportunity there, believe it or not."

Zhou Chen pointed at an inconspicuous green stone by the roadside and smiled.

"Brother Zhou, I don't believe it…"

Lin Xueer looked over doubtfully; it truly was just an ordinary rock. No matter how many times she checked with her Divine Sense, she could never find anything.

However, once Zhou Chen stepped forward, everything seemed to change.

"Sack of money!"

Zhou Chen muttered under his breath and then lightly tapped the stone three times.

In the next moment, the green stone erupted with light, transforming into a palm-sized phantom of a Black Tortoise, holding a Medicinal Pill flowing with golden light in its mouth!

It was actually a Saint Grade Medium Grade Medicinal Pill.

Zhou Chen picked up the pill and waved it at Xueer.

"Brother Zhou, is 'Sack of money' some kind of magical incantation?"

"This is an ancient blessing phrase, an incantation that can bring you good Luck."

Lin Xueer's beautiful eyes instantly widened, and her mouth hung slightly open in disbelief. Could this incantation truly be so miraculous?

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting another's Opportunity: Saint Grade Medium Grade Black Tortoise Longevity Pill! Triggering Hundredfold Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Saint Grade Medium Grade Black Tortoise Longevity Pill * 100!]

Zhou Chen casually handed the Black Tortoise Longevity Pill to Lin Xueer. "Here, take this as a snack."

Lin Xueer: "…"

A Saint Grade High Grade pill, as a snack?

Even the Emperor Clans wouldn't be that exaggerated, right?

Before Lin Xueer could recover from her shock, Zhou Chen pulled her to a dried-up well.

"Wait, there seems to be something in this well. Sack of money!"

As Zhou Chen spoke, he casually threw a Spirit Stone into the well.

Boom!

A burst of Sword Qi suddenly erupted from the dry well, and a rusty broken sword soared into the sky, emitting a heart-palpitating Killing Intent.

"Saint Grade Low Grade Spiritual Artifact?!"

Lin Xueer was shocked once again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting Bai Yuting's Opportunity — Saint Grade Low Grade Demon Slaying Sword, triggering Thousandfold Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining — Saint Grade Top-Grade Ethereal Demon Slaying Sword! Claim immediately?]

Afterward, Lin Xueer followed Zhou Chen's example and shouted loudly several times in a crisp voice: "Sack of money!"

However, there was no effect, which made her feel a bit discouraged. It seemed this incantation only worked for Zhou Chen.

Just like that, Lin Xueer became completely numb.

However, what she didn't know was that this was only the beginning; she would be shocked countless more times.

Legacy Immortal Caves of ancient powerhouses, medicine gardens hidden in spatial layers, Spirit Beast eggs sleeping beneath ancient battlefields…

It didn't seem like Zhou Chen was here to train on the Starry Sky Emperor Road, but rather to go on a shopping spree.

Those Opportunities that were enough to make people fight to the death were easily gathered into his pocket by Zhou Chen, like picking up stones by the road.

Countless question marks flashed through Lin Xueer's mind.

She knew Zhou Chen was mysterious and powerful, but she never imagined he could be mysterious to this extent.

This could no longer be explained by being a Child of Destiny; he was practically the Heavenly Dao's own father.

However, she could never know about the System's existence, and Zhou Chen would never tell anyone.

Although she was very confused, Lin Xueer never asked anything. She just quietly followed behind Zhou Chen. In her heart, besides shock, there was more of an incomparable sense of security and happiness.

This was also what Zhou Chen appreciated about Lin Xueer—she trusted him unconditionally and never asked too many questions.

Just as Zhou Chen was leading Lin Xueer toward the next Opportunity point, his steps suddenly stopped.

Zhou Chen's gaze turned toward the depths of the Emperor Road, his eyes carrying a hint of gravity.

Immediately after, a sudden clap of thunder rang out in the sky of the Emperor Road.

Rumble—

In the next moment, a massive crack appeared in the sky, and countless mysterious runes flew out from it.

"What is that?"

Lin Xueer looked at the sky in surprise.

Zhou Chen frowned as his vast Divine Sense power probed forward.

In that crack, he sensed an ancient and powerful aura.

"There might be an Opportunity, let's go check it out!"

Zhou Chen summoned the shuttle and sped toward that direction with Lin Xueer.

…

At the same time, other Cultivators on the Starry Sky Emperor Road also noticed the anomaly in the sky.

"Look! What is that?"

"What a powerful aura!"

"A great treasure must have appeared!"

Countless Cultivators began to rush toward the direction where the crack appeared.

Among them were the Prodigies of the various Holy Lands.

"Ye Xuan, the aura coming from that crack…" Ji Wuming and the others also noticed the anomaly.

"That's right, it's the work of the Array Emperor."

Ye Xuan nodded. "It seems the Restriction left by the Array Emperor on the Starry Sky Emperor Road back then is finally about to be unsealed. Rumor has it that there will be a Legacy left by the Array Emperor, and everyone can try for it, but it's extremely dangerous inside; not just anyone can lay a finger on it."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Wuming, his meaning very subtle.

"Let's go. It's good to go see it; we haven't found anything good after being here for so long."

Ji Wuming naturally understood Ye Xuan's reminder, but he had been in the Starry Sky Emperor Road for a long time and hadn't found a single good Opportunity.

His harvest of Opportunities wasn't even as good as some Cultivators from the Holy Lands; instead, the treasures he snatched were much better than the Opportunities he found himself.

This made the arrogant Ji Wuming somewhat discouraged. He truly couldn't understand why, in the Starry Sky Emperor Road which was filled with treasures, his Luck had suddenly become so bad.

It was even worse than his Luck outside the Emperor Road.

Obviously, this was thanks to the great benefactor Zhou Chen; not a single one of Ji Wuming's Opportunities was left for him, all of them having been ruthlessly harvested.

"Sack of money! Atchoo!"

Zhou Chen stole another of Ji Wuming's Opportunities on the way and unexpectedly sneezed.
