Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 818 - 414: Lu Youyou’s Fortuitous Encounter, Ziwei Dragon Supporting Skill (Part 2)

A typical loose cultivator might easily perish mid-journey, their spirit and path vanishing into nothingness.

While the Black Dragon Sea Region is home to a multitude of gifted geniuses, those who actually attain significant renown are incredibly rare.

This reality highlights how vital one’s background truly is.

"My husband, however, appears to be an exception," Lu Youyou remarked.

"Despite being born a mere mortal, he has ascended to heights that leave ordinary cultivators staring up in awe."

"You understand very little," Cloud Fairy replied with an edge of irritation.

"The elite depend on their wealth of resources, while the commoners must rely on rare mutations."

"That fellow Jiang Fan is undoubtedly a Child of Destiny; his Destiny is exceptionally potent."

"Such a person is a one-in-a-billion anomaly. Do you honestly believe anyone else can be compared to him?"

"Out of the vast masses of mortals, only a single existence like his emerges."

"It is reminiscent of Daoist Taixu from the old days. He was also born a mortal yet rose to become the supreme figure of the Void Realm, eventually reaching enlightenment and achieving ascension."

"Such cases are remarkably scarce, however; usually, success is reserved for those of noble blood."

"Indeed, a paragon like my husband is truly one of a kind," Lu Youyou agreed completely.

"There is simply no one else like him."

The longer she stayed by Jiang Fan’s side, the more she viewed him as a freak of nature—essentially an invincible Daoist.

Even had he been born during the ancient era, he would have surely been a legendary figure.

In comparison to him, she felt quite unremarkable, unable to compete in the slightest.

"He is indeed unique," Cloud Fairy mused.

"I have witnessed many heavenly talents throughout my countless years of life."

"But this brat possesses a Destiny so powerful it is as if the Heavenly Dao itself favors him."

"Perhaps only the ancient Daoist Taixu could be considered his equal."

She had not anticipated the boy would be this formidable.

It had been a wise decision to constantly urge her disciples to remain close to him.

The rewards had been massive: their cultivation progressed smoothly and at a lightning-fast pace.

Everything had become much easier since they began following this man.

She had encountered almost no tribulations during this time.

She was convinced that if she were to truly achieve resurrection, the solution lay with him.

"Master, based on your words, my husband’s Destiny is unusually strong and quite strange," Lu Youyou noted.

"Doesn’t a greater Destiny usually attract a greater amount of Tribulation Qi?"

"Is it possible that a massive catastrophe is currently brewing in this world?"

"Why else would a Child of Destiny like my husband suddenly appear?"

Lu Youyou was no longer the lowly cultivator she once was; she was now a Golden Core cultivator.

Consequently, her understanding of the path of cultivation had deepened significantly.

The rise of a cultivator like her husband was highly irregular, hinting that a grand shift in Heaven and Earth was approaching.

"A great calamity is indeed forming," Cloud Fairy said with a grave expression.

"The Taixu Sect rose to prominence because it stood against a demon calamity."

"In those days, the Void Realm was nearly destroyed by an invasion of countless demons."

"Luckily, Daoist Taixu stepped forward, leading various powers to wipe out the demonic invaders."

"Had he not, the Void Realm would have fallen long ago, and every race would have been turned into demon food."

"I suspect the Void Realm is on the verge of facing a similar disaster."

"That is why you must hasten your cultivation to prepare for the coming great tribulation."

She could already detect the faint spread of Tribulation Qi throughout the Void Realm.

It felt as though a terrifying, massive disaster was hanging over the world.

Every creature and every inch of land seemed smothered by a pervasive aura of death.

This filled her with a desperate urge to leave this world, as she believed it was the only way to find a narrow path to survival.

"Master, does the Ziwei Dragon Supporting Skill have any flaws?" Lu Youyou asked, feeling a sudden sense of urgency.

She was eager to advance her cultivation quickly to solidify her foundation.

"Its biggest drawback is that it cannot be used to find opportunities for yourself—only for others," Cloud Fairy explained.

"What? Isn’t that just doing all the work for someone else's benefit?"

"What is the point of having such a divine power then?"

Lu Youyou was stunned.

She had planned to use this power to secure numerous opportunities for herself.

Finding out it only worked for others felt like a complete trap.

"It is called the Dragon Supporting Skill for a reason; it isn't the Dragon Becoming Skill," Cloud Fairy said sternly.

"Its purpose is to assist True Dragons, not to benefit the user."

"Even if you discover an opportunity, you cannot take it for yourself. To do so would surely invite calamity."

This was a core trait of the Ziwei Dragon Supporting Skill, designed specifically to help other cultivators locate fortuitous chances.

Furthermore, claiming an opportunity for oneself would result in a wave of misfortune.

"Who would be so foolish as to practice a divine power like that?" Lu Youyou asked, feeling speechless.

"Haha, many people choose to cultivate it," Cloud Fairy laughed.

"This power functions by consuming the destiny of other cultivators, which is why it can only find opportunities for them."

"If you steal the opportunity, you will face a backlash and be burdened by karma."

"However, if the person you help shares even a tiny portion of their gain, it will be enough to sustain your cultivation for a long time."

"The secret to this divine power is finding a True Dragon."

"If you pick a false dragon, you will suffer endless bad luck and likely die young."

"But if you find a True Dragon, you will ascend with ease, shining as brightly as the midday sun."

It was like being the personal driver or guard for the richest man on earth; even a servant's salary would be massive.

As a close secretary, one could easily amass billions.

The difficulty lay in identifying who had the potential to become that wealthy before they actually did.

That was the true challenge of the Ziwei Dragon Supporting Skill.

If it were easy, everyone would be using it to rise to the top.

"But I have already found my husband," Lu Youyou’s eyes suddenly brightened.

She finally understood why her master had pushed her to learn this technique; she had already bypassed the hardest part.

"No, no. This divine power likely won't be of much use to your husband," Cloud Fairy countered.

"Your husband is such a genius that he doesn't require help from anyone else."

"Trying to assist him might actually get in his way."

"The person who truly needs your support is Su Weiwei."

"Sister Weiwei?" Lu Youyou was surprised.

"Correct. She is quite remarkable herself," Cloud Fairy said.

"She possesses the Taiyin Virgin Body, a very special spirit body."

"Her destiny is also exceptional, as evidenced by the many ancient mythical creatures she has contracted."

"Given enough time, she has a real chance at immortal ascension."

"I used this divine power to peer into her future and confirmed her destiny is extraordinary."

"In fact, I have already located a new site of opportunity."

"It is a True Spirit Secret Realm known as the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm."

Cloud Fairy gave Weiwei a knowing smile.

"The Jade Rabbit Secret Realm?"

"Sister Weiwei is currently practicing the 'Jade Rabbit Scripture' True Spirit Technique, isn't she?"

"Legend says that technique comes from the ancient True Spirit Taiyin Jade Rabbit."

"Could that secret realm be destined for her?" Lu Youyou asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"It must be," Cloud Fairy explained.

"Other cultivators would likely find nothing but death in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm."

"But if she enters, she will find endless opportunities and gain immense wealth."

"If the two of you collaborate, you will be an unstoppable force."

"I understand now," Lu Youyou exclaimed.

"I’ve always felt that Sister Weiwei is the ideal partner."

"She was a massive help during our time at the Ziwei Sect ruins."

"If not for the ancient mythical creatures she controls, we might have been killed by the demon cultivators."

The journey to the Ziwei Sect ruins had been fraught with danger, not a simple trip.

A large group of demon race cultivators, including Tier Three experts, had suddenly appeared.

Fortunately, Su Weiwei had used her Six-winged Poison Bees and Purple Lightning Mayflies to slaughter them, ensuring their safe return.

In terms of pure fighting power, Lu Youyou knew she was still weaker than those ancient beasts.

Thinking of this, she grew even more eager for their next mission together.

"Master, what was your original cultivation level?" Lu Youyou asked curiously as the thought occurred to her.

"I don’t quite recall... likely an Immortal," Cloud Fairy said, shaking her head.

An Immortal?!

Lu Youyou was completely stunned. She wasn't sure if her master was telling the truth or joking. If she had truly been an Immortal, how could she have ended up in this state?

If it was true, what kind of horrors had her master faced?
