Heavenly Luck Covers Human Luck

Guo Yezhong was a man deeply engrossed in the Dao of Formations throughout his life.

His mind was unconstrained, often coming up with strange and wonderful ideas. He also loved to drink, and often, after getting completely drunk, he would tell his friends about all sorts of seemingly impractical fantasies in his mind.

His friends only took them as drunken ramblings, mostly dismissing them with a laugh.

Not long ago, Guo Yezhong got completely drunk again.

He recounted to his friends a vision he had seen in a dream: Tianxuan in the sky, like a spiderweb; covering the four wilds, tightly locking down all living beings.

Because it was too bizarre, none of his friends took him seriously this time either, treating it all as a joke.

Instead, after Guo Yezhong sobered up, they mocked him about it.

To their surprise, Guo Yezhong's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. After warning his friends not to speak carelessly, he flicked his sleeves and left.

For several days after, he closed his doors to visitors and did not go out.

Until suddenly, he said he had a vague realization and needed to go out to seek an Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

He never returned after that.

Several days later, a celestial phenomenon occurred, guiding others to discover his corpse.

…

"Fake alcohol is harmful!" Li Fan sighed softly, then fell into deep thought.

Was it the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance killing him to prevent secrets from leaking?

For the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, who urgently needed Formation Dao talents, there was no need for that at all.

A single conscription order could make him shed blood for the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation. There was no need to act so extremely.

"Then the remaining possibility is that the Five Old Men Association took action."

"After I revealed the news of 'Tianxuan Locking Spirit, Xuanhuang Unified' to the Five Old Men Association, they would certainly try every possible way to inquire about related information."

"But because the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's secrecy was extremely strict, they gained little."

"Until they discovered that a seemingly inconspicuous Foundation Establishment cultivator actually, after drinking, openly spoke of a vision related to Tianxuan Locking Spirit."

"Thus, Guo Yezhong met with an unexpected calamity…"

Li Fan stroked his chin, deducing the possible course of events.

"Although Guo Yezhong had extremely high Formation Dao talent, he probably didn't know much about the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation. At most, he only had a vague concept."

"And the Five Old Men Association's research on Formations is not inferior to that of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. With Guo Yezhong as the catalyst, it's hard to say what the final outcome will be."

"In this life, for the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has created a bigger stir than in the previous life."

"It's almost certain that, under the struggle between the two sides, the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation either won't be born."

"Or it will evolve into an even more terrifying existence than in the previous life."

"I can only hope the Five Old Men Association will put up a good fight. If not, when necessary, I can also lend them a hand."

Li Fan pondered carefully for a while, recalling the Formation structure diagram of the Lock Spirit Array.

After a long time, he finally suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Regarding this major event that could influence the future historical direction of the Xuanhuang World, most Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were completely unaware of it.

For them, life remained peaceful, no different from usual.

Doing missions, accumulating contribution points, exchanging Cultivation Techniques and resources needed for Cultivation, and going into seclusion to Cultivate.

Occasionally relaxing and playing for a while.

This was their daily life.

The topics Cultivators usually chatted about were nothing more than which young Genius had Breakthrough, or who had gotten lucky and found a Cultivation Technique in a Sect ruin, such topics.

But this year, one name became a frequent topic of conversation.

Li Fan, a Cultivator of the Tianji Sect.

He had accurately predicted the event of the pu xian true leaf price surge.

Although most participants in the event ultimately suffered heavy losses, leading them to hate Li Fan bitterly.

However, they had no doubts about Li Fan's deduction ability.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, a group of Cultivators began to wildly praise Li Fan's deduction techniques.

They swore that Li Fan's deduction techniques were miraculous, no less than those of the long-established Great Masters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

It was as if besides the pu xian true leaf incident, Li Fan had other achievements.

But when pressed, this group of people all remained silent.

They wore an expression that said, 'believe it or not.'

If it were merely a matter of being good at deduction, the 'Ancient Heavenly Mystery Sect Cultivator Li Fan' would not have stirred up such enthusiastic discussion.

The fundamental reason was that Li Fan would lead everyone to get rich.

Everyone knew clearly about He Zhenghao of Congyun Sea collecting contribution points and entrusting them to Li Fan to operate, with the principal and interest returned a year later.

Although it superficially looked like a game of hot potato fraud, with the backing of the ability to be 'extremely good at deduction,'

Everything became real again.

How difficult it was to accumulate contribution points! And how enticing was a fifty percent profit in one year!

Unable to resist the urge, Cultivators constantly sought out He Zhenghao, wanting to join the next investment plan.

The sheer number of Cultivators who came to inquire even scared He Zhenghao, who prided himself on having seen the world.

He hid in the Liuli Island's island-protecting Formation all day, not daring to go out.

Only after contacting Li Fan and receiving his approval did he finally feel at ease.

At Li Fan's suggestion, he issued a statement.

Because there were too many Cultivators seeking investment, exceeding Li Fan's controllable capacity, he was forced to make a difficult decision.

This investment would only accept contribution points from a maximum of five hundred Cultivators.

They would be accepted in order from most to least based on the amount of contribution points they were willing to pay.

As soon as the news came out, it caused Cultivators to curse inwardly.

Most people hesitated for a moment, then ultimately chose to give up.

But there was still a small handful who used their contribution points to cast a vote of trust in Li Fan.

After introducing the competition mechanism, the contribution points collected for the third time astonishingly swelled to over fifteen million.

An average of over thirty thousand per person.

This was still under the circumstance that everyone held back and had a 'let's try it out' mentality.

He Zhenghao collected money until his hands were sore, his face beaming with smiles.

Because Li Fan saw how hard he worked and promised him one percent of the profit as a reward.

So he worked even harder.

He even constantly persuaded those investing Cultivators to dig out more of their savings.

While Li Fan, this "Great Swindler," was frantically accumulating wealth.

The "Foundation Establishment Master" of the Empire was not idle either.

Although the ten million contribution points given by Li Fan allowed these Thieves of Law to complete their mission ahead of schedule.

However, to be fully prepared for a complete decoupling from the Xuanhuang World in the future, the Thieves of Law still did not stop, earning contribution points through various means, converting them into various resources, and quietly transporting them back to the Empire.

This day, a special guest arrived on the island.

"I've saved for so long, it should be enough."

"Plus this famous Foundation Establishment Master, this time I will definitely be able to successfully Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"By then, my destiny will be my own, not subject to heaven. Although the Cultivation World is vast, I, Han Yi, can go anywhere!"

A somewhat deranged, disheveled young man stood in front of the Foundation Establishment Master's small courtyard, muttering softly to himself.
