I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 610 Senior Brother, You Are Glowing
Previously on I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors?...
"Answering Master, on that particular day, this disciple got drawn in by the heavenly phenomenon, which brought me straight to the Wendao Sect. Through sheer fortune, I ended up as a disciple under Master's guidance."
Even though Jiang Yan couldn't figure out why his master was posing this question, just recalling the events of that day filled him with immense gratitude for the decision he'd made.
Had he skipped joining the Wendao Sect, it's likely his lifelong dream would have stayed out of reach forever.
With a grin, Chu Feng remarked, "Well, today you get another chance to witness that heavenly phenomenon."
Once he finished, Chu Feng flicked his hand to trigger the Wendao Sect's formation. A thick fog enveloped Slanting Moon Mountain, the sect's home, ensuring outsiders couldn't catch sight of the Wendao Sect's spectacle.
Before even a cup of tea could be drained, the phenomenon reemerged, descending right above the Wendao Sect.
Ji Jiuwu took the lead by dropping into a cross-legged position. Back then, he'd been clueless about this heavenly phenomenon's true benefits, but armed with that knowledge now, he wasn't about to let the opportunity slip away.
Catching on, Jiang Yan and the nearby Bailu followed suit, settling down immediately to start their cultivation.
Soaking in the luck's radiant glow, Chu Feng let a satisfied grin spread across his face. Gathering people of destiny in this fresh world felt utterly rewarding.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for taking on a person of destiny, Great Dao Truth +1."
Meanwhile, Cao Youqian, located thousands of miles distant, was heading toward a demon pool to subdue a demon dragon when a beam of luck's light suddenly washed over him.
This unexpected twist startled the Thunder Qilin carrying him.
Gazing up at its master, it blurted out, "Brother Qian, this... this is the light of luck! Are you that fabled favored son of heaven?"
Cao Youqian patted its head and replied, "You're not as dim as I thought, kid. Join me in basking under the light of luck."
Though he voiced it casually, deep down he mused: Looks like Master has pulled in yet another person of destiny. Time for my Grand Dao Truth to climb higher.
Perched atop the Thunder Qilin, Cao Youqian dove into grasping the Grand Dao Truth, as the Thunder Qilin eagerly absorbed the perks from the luck's light too.
Before long, a swarm of creatures gathered around them. Spotting the light of luck enveloping the man and beast, these beings dropped to their knees in succession, offering bows.
Xiao Chen shared Cao Youqian's line of thinking. Right then, he found himself in a modest human tribe, intending to take on an apprentice there and propagate the Sword Dao—only to find himself bathed in the light of luck.
The tribesfolk, beholding the figure ahead wrapped in divine radiance, prostrated themselves on the earth, kowtowing without pause.
The tribe's shaman bellowed, "The Martial God has come down! The Wolf Fang Tribe's rise is at hand!"
Within the Wendao Sect.
The light of luck persisted through a full day and night until it finally faded.
Chu Feng was lost in a pleasant slumber at that point, when the system's notification echoed in his thoughts once more.
"Host's disciple Xiao Chen has grasped 1 Sword Dao Truth, granting Host Grand Dao Truth +10. Host's disciple Cao Youqian has grasped 1 Fist Dao Truth, granting Host Grand Dao Truth +10. Host's disciple Ji Jiuwu has stepped into Natural True Intent, unlocking the Human Emperor Body, granting Host Grand Dao Truth +1. Host has nurtured a Human Emperor Seed, granting Host Great Dao Truth +99."
The dreamtime alert didn't rouse Chu Feng from his nap. Moments later, he rolled over and drifted back to sleep.
Elsewhere, Ji Jiuwu was the first to snap his eyes open. Probing the spiritual energy surging within him, he whispered, "Did I leverage the light of luck to shatter through to the Life Core Realm that Master described, all in one swift push?"
His words barely landed when Jiang Yan's astonished cry rang out nearby. "Senior brother, senior brother, you're shining!"
Ji Jiuwu turned to Jiang Yan with a puzzled expression upon hearing that.
The Bailu close by chimed in, "Senior brother, that glow of yours feels off somehow. For some reason, one glance at it stirs this urge in me to pay homage."
Taking the cue, Ji Jiuwu scanned himself with his divine sense. He realized his whole being had transformed. As to the cause of this shift, he remained in the dark, nor did he grasp how to dim the light emanating from him.
Helplessly rubbing his head, he said, "You two juniors, quit staring at me like that. It's getting awkward."
"Senior brother, even then, your shiny look is truly unique," Bailu responded.
Jiang Yan stayed quiet beside them, merely nodding in agreement. He too felt pulled in by the brilliant sheen on Ji Jiuwu and sensed a drive to trail after him.
"I need to consult Master about this."
Being ogled by his junior brothers left Ji Jiuwu feeling uneasy from head to toe. His sole option right now was to seek his master's help in sorting this out.
Otherwise, he'd end up lit up like a beacon everywhere, impossible to ignore.
Time dragged on endlessly while waiting. Ji Jiuwu wandered restlessly outside Chu Feng's courtyard. He lost track of how long he'd been pacing when the door inside creaked open. Delight lit up his features instantly, and he hurried into the yard, bowing deeply as he said, "This disciple pays respects to Master."
Eying the disciple before him radiating golden brilliance, Chu Feng chuckled teasingly, "Master's already aware you've awakened the Human Emperor Body. No need to dazzle me with it anymore."
"This is the Human Emperor Body?"
Ji Jiuwu paused briefly, then broke into a joyful expression. If Master recognized the shift in his form, that surely meant Master could help banish the light. Eagerly, he asked, "So, Master, how can this disciple get back to looking normal?"
"You, kid, never learned to suppress your aura or physique to begin with."
Chu Feng grinned and pointed lightly, sending a streak of light straight into Ji Jiuwu's mind.
In no time, a technique for hiding one's breath surfaced in Ji Jiuwu's sea of consciousness, sparking pure elation on his face.
"Many thanks to Master for bestowing this method."
"Any other questions on your mind, kid?"
Chu Feng pressed on. He hadn't anticipated that a routine skill from the Xuantian Continent would yield such results in this budding continent.
"None at all."
Ji Jiuwu shook his head, intending to head back and practice the breath-hiding technique from his master, thus quelling the golden glow.
"Alright."
Chu Feng gave a nod, then shifted his attention beyond the courtyard and called out, "You two, since when did you pick up the habit of lurking by the door to listen in?"
With that, Jiang Yan and Bailu stepped inside side by side. They shot Ji Jiuwu sheepish smiles. Truth be told, they'd trailed him the whole way but held back from appearing to spare senior brother's discomfort.
The man and the deer both intoned respectfully, "This disciple/This student greets Master."
"Rise, no need for formalities."
Chu Feng replied while settling into a nearby chair, then inquired, "Ah Yan, apart from the Shennong Scripture, is there anything else you'd like to study?"
Jiang Yan shook his head. "This disciple seeks nothing more. If it's feasible, this disciple yearns to learn the path to immortality as well."
"That's straightforward enough," Chu Feng said. "Earlier, Master passed the Nature Scripture to your Senior Brother Ji. You ought to practice the Nature Scripture too, blending the Immortal and Medical paths. Should you wish to delve into alchemy later, Master will guide you then."
Jiang Yan promptly clasped his hands and declared, "Gratitude to Master."
Chu Feng's eyes then turned to the Bailu at his side, smiling as he asked, "You, kid, soaked up the light of luck this round—didn't you pick up even the slightest gain?"
