Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 868 - 437: Life Chart: Only I am Venerable, Child of Destiny of the Spirit Ruins Realm (2)

What sort of Child of Destiny would actually face a life-and-death tribulation at this particular moment?

Furthermore, as a Child of Destiny, is it possible they cannot even withstand a single fatal challenge?

More critically, why is an apocalyptic disaster fated to strike the seemingly flourishing Spirit Ruins Realm in the future? What exactly is occurring, and what kind of catastrophe is lurking in the shadows?

He sensed that beneath the surface of the tranquil Spirit Ruins Realm, violent undercurrents had long been surging.

Ordinary cultivators remain oblivious to this, under the impression that everything is as peaceful as it looks.

“Still, since I have the opportunity to rescue the Child of Destiny of this world, the transaction seems quite profitable.”

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

To be perfectly honest, he was prepared to intervene primarily because it involved no personal risk.

Had it truly required him to put his life on the line, the endeavor would have lost its meaning.

However, this was merely a trivial favor.

It was akin to purchasing early shares in a massive corporation with the potential for a ten-thousand-fold return—why would anyone refuse?

Besides, he felt a flicker of curiosity regarding the woman who could claim the title of Child of Destiny in this realm.

Perhaps engaging with other Children of Destiny would provide him with significant advantages.

Whoosh!

Upon reaching this conclusion, Jiang Fan moved without delay. His form blurred as he instantly exited the internal space of the Exquisite Tower.

Boom~

At that moment, Jiang Fan’s spiritual sense erupted outward, blanketed a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers.

One must realize that this was a spiritual sense at the Void Refining level. It could merge seamlessly into the void itself, remaining completely undetectable to any cultivators below the Void Refining stage.

Every detail within the reach of his consciousness was perceived with absolute clarity.

In an instant, he spotted five black-robed cultivators in a Nameless Valley. Four of them were at the Nascent Soul stage, while the leader had reached the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation.

Sinister, dark, and malevolent auras radiated from their bodies, their expressions etched with cruelty.

A woman lay collapsed on the ground, gripping a thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine. Her eyes were clouded with total hopelessness; she never anticipated meeting five such formidable experts in this remote location.

To a mere Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator like herself, they represented an insurmountable power.

Boom!

The second he laid eyes on the woman, Jiang Fan felt a jolt. The innate divine ability, Emperor’s Gaze, activated within him instinctively.

Enigmatic runes manifested deep within his pupils, appearing to hold the workings of infinite laws.

In the following heartbeat, he saw the woman was saturated with a massive amount of destiny.

Simultaneously, he detected a mysterious power dwelling inside her.

Vast amounts of destiny converged, condensing into the shape of a fruit. A flash of light then streaked toward him at lightning speed, arriving before him in an instant.

A surge of information immediately flooded the depths of his sea of consciousness.

“Cultivator: Ye Linglong, Age: Eighteen.”

“Life Chart: Immortal Reincarnation, Only I am Venerable (Unactivated)”

“Origin: Following the failure of XX Immortal’s Dao attainment, their entire cultivation returned to the world. The massive essence dispersed through the realms to form this unique Life Chart; it is an Immortal Grade Life Chart.”

What?!

As he processed this data, Jiang Fan’s pupils narrowed, and his heart surged with shock.

He was well aware that his own strength originated from his unique Life Chart—Great Blessings Equal to Heaven.

Possessing that Life Chart granted him incredible luck, allowing him to transform peril into safety and seek fortune while avoiding evil.

He had escaped countless disasters and seized numerous opportunities because of it.

Yet, he still did not know the true source of his Life Chart.

He had originally assumed he was the sole individual to possess one.

It now appeared that was incorrect. Though rare, Life Charts did exist in this world.

This time, the woman who seemed to be the Child of Destiny actually held the Only I am Venerable Life Chart.

Furthermore, it was of the Immortal Grade.

“Why have I suddenly become able to perceive the existence of Life Charts?”

“Previously, I could only see destiny.”

“Could it be because my spiritual power has reached the Void Refining level?”

“Has that empowered the Emperor’s Gaze, allowing it to see not just destiny, but Life Charts as well?”

Jiang Fan tightened his grip.

He felt certain this was the explanation.

Otherwise, these Life Charts should have been visible to him much sooner.

Only upon attaining a specific threshold of power can one observe the influence of Life Charts.

He immediately resumed his study of the Only I am Venerable Life Chart, gaining further insight into its nature.

This Life Chart is split into two distinct functions. The first is ‘Only I.’ Mastering this allows a person to rapidly learn any cultivation technique, Daoist art, or divine magic. It also enables innovation and allows techniques to exert double their usual effect, doubling combat strength in battle.

The second is ‘Venerable.’ This can manifest a Venerable domain. Within this field, the power of any living being is indiscriminately reduced by more than half.

“This is too broken. Is this the true nature of a Child of Destiny?”

Jiang Fan was stunned, momentarily speechless.

Without question, Only I am Venerable is a Life Chart built for combat, rendering one invincible among peers.

To start with, this Life Chart turns one into a supreme genius, capable of mastering anything with peak comprehension.

Even if that were all, its battle potential is even more terrifying.

After all, when fighting, one’s own strength is doubled while the enemy’s is halved. This results in a four-fold advantage in combat power—truly frightening.

Regardless of the opponent, they would likely be defeated instantly; no one could stand against her.

Moreover, the effects of this Life Chart would only grow more potent as her cultivation increased.

Overwhelming Qi Cultivation practitioners is one thing, but crushing Integration stage or even Mahayana stage cultivators would be truly world-shaking.

It makes sense that she is the Child of Destiny of this world; her talent is certainly not for show.

Once this woman matures, she will undoubtedly become the most powerful cultivator in this realm, possessing unmatched strength.

Additionally, this Life Chart lacks any weak phase. It is always active and powerful, completely defying standard logic.

If this were a game, she would definitely be nerfed.

But this is reality, and reality is blatantly unfair.

“Thinking about it, could Daoist Taixu of the Void Realm from the Ancient Era also have been a Life Chart possessor?”

Jiang Fan stroked his chin, feeling very suspicious of this.

Perhaps Daoist Taixu also wielded the power of a Life Chart, which would explain his peerless might and how he swept through all opposition.

Unfortunately, he cannot meet Daoist Taixu to confirm which Life Chart the man possessed.

“Regardless, Life Charts stem from an Immortal’s failure to attain the Dao, correct?”

“Following their death, their essence scatters, creating these unique Life Charts.”

“These Life Charts then drift across the myriad worlds, bestowed upon a few lucky souls.”

“Is that how so many geniuses emerge?!”

“If that is the case, it is like a fallen whale providing life to a thousand deep-sea creatures.”

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

He began to ponder the origins of Life Charts; they likely have a deep connection to the beings of the Immortal Realm.

Because of the fall of immortals, many Life Charts were born in the Mortal World and claimed by mortals.

But what about his own Life Chart, Great Blessings Equal to Heaven? Where did it come from?

Was it the result of an immortal’s failure, a byproduct of his status as a traveler, or simply pure luck?

“Furthermore, Life Charts seem to have a hierarchy.”

“There are Lower, Middle, and Upper Grade Life Charts, followed by Immortal Grade and Seven-Colored Life Charts.”

“Those below the Immortal Grade are somewhat common, and different people might possess the same one.”

“There could even be multiple instances of the same Life Chart existing at once.”

“However, for those above the Immortal Grade, each is unique and never repeated.”

“Just like my Great Blessings Equal to Heaven.”

“Aside from myself, no one else could possibly have it.”

Jiang Fan had not known these specifics before, but after seeing the Only I am Venerable Life Chart, it felt as though information was being transmitted to him from the void.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao itself was conveying messages to him, granting him an innate, miraculous understanding.
