Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 896 - 450: A New Immortal Destiny, The Second Child of Destiny
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Boom~~
A surge stirred within Jiang Fan's heart, prompting him to swiftly activate the Divine Skill of Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation.
In that moment, he perceived strands of Destiny gathering toward the village chief, Shi Hao.
Countless threads of Destiny merged to form a Life Chart: Discernment of Right and Wrong.
"Middle Grade Life Chart: Discernment of Right and Wrong. Ability: It grants the bearer the power to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong in all living beings, and pierce through deceptions, rendering illusion techniques nearly useless against them. To a certain degree, it can also illuminate the proper path for one's cultivation journey."
As this knowledge dawned on him, Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed in surprise, hardly anticipating that this elderly village chief harbored a Life Chart—and a Middle Grade one, no less.
It explained why he stood as the sole Golden Core Cultivator in Green Willow Village.
Additionally, under his guidance, the village flourished in impeccable harmony and abundance.
The skill to judge right from wrong proves perfect for someone in a leadership role.
That's precisely why this elder commands such immense respect.
"Even Zhu Ming has a Life Chart?!"
Jiang Fan turned his gaze toward the hunting team leader, Zhu Ming.
"Lower Grade Life Chart: Courageous and Fearless. Ability: It instills the bearer with unyielding bravery, immune to illusions and dread, forever shrouded in courage, while simultaneously boosting their battle strength twofold."
Though merely a Lower Grade Life Chart, the power it bestows is far from ordinary.
Resistance to illusions combined with doubled combat might clearly demonstrates its worth.
No surprise he rose to Foundation Establishment Cultivator and leader of the hunting team in Green Willow Village.
It's thanks to this Life Chart that his fighting capabilities stand out so remarkably.
"Grandpa."
"Is this the visiting human cultivator?"
Right then, a boy of seven or eight years dashed in from outside, his cheeks flushed and teeth pearly white, eyeing Jiang Fan with wide-eyed curiosity, as if wondering if this outsider truly sported three heads and six arms.
"Lord Jiang, I’m truly sorry."
"This is my grandson, Shi Ping’an."
The village chief, Shi Hao, directed an apologetic look at Jiang Fan, caught off guard by his grandson's sudden entrance and worried it might annoy the honored guest.
Boom~~
Suddenly, Jiang Fan's mind trembled faintly, revealing an endless tide of golden Destiny swirling around the boy like a mighty dragon, ultimately shaping into a Life Chart.
"Immortal Grade Life Chart: Devour Heaven and Earth. Ability: It permits the bearer to consume vast arrays of worldly materials, and even draw in the essence of those materials to fortify their body. Through this power, one could ascend to Immortality in a barren Land of No Spirits simply by feasting on the soil."
As this revelation hit him, a tempest raged in Jiang Fan's chest, stunned to encounter a possessor of an Immortal Grade Life Chart right in Green Willow Village—a truly extraordinary one.
What's more, those bearing Immortal Grade Life Charts invariably emerge as Children of Destiny.
He had assumed Ye Linglong was the only Child of Destiny around, but who knew another lurked here.
Yet, on second thought, this made perfect sense.
In lesser realms, constrained by scant Destiny and resources, only one Child of Destiny could arise. But in expansive Great Thousand Worlds such as the Spirit Ruins Realm and the Void Realm,
their domains stretch infinitely, brimming with endless resources, so multiple Children of Destiny naturally arise.
Indeed, the presence of several Children of Destiny would bolster the Spirit Ruins Realm's defenses, aiding it against countless disasters, since one alone falls short.
"Hold on, was my arrival here not mere coincidence?"
"Perhaps directed by the Destiny of the Spirit Ruins Realm’s Heavenly Dao?"
"With the intent to safeguard this Child of Destiny’s development?"
"Does that mean I've stepped into the role of guardian elder for a Child of Destiny?!"
This realization twisted Jiang Fan's features into an unusual expression, leaving him at a loss for words, as he now found himself tasked with nurturing this Child of Destiny's potential.
Still, he welcomed such twists, foreseeing great gains for himself too.
He sensed that awakening more Life Charts would solidify his own foundations even further.
Thus, even absent Destiny's nudge toward this Child of Destiny, he would have sought them out deliberately.
"The Life Chart turns out to be Devour Heaven and Earth. Utterly astonishing."
"Its power lets one ingest countless earthly treasures."
"And even harness those treasures to bolster one's frame."
"This rivals the mightiest body forging constitutions out there."
"Essentially, anything consumed becomes nourishment."
"Demons included for devouring."
"In that light, the Demon Realm truly suits this child's ascent."
"To him, those immortal demons serve as supreme elixirs for advancement."
Jiang Fan pondered in awe.
He quickly grasped the fearsome potential of this Immortal Grade Life Chart.
While typical cultivators fear the corrupting and aggressive essence of demons, Shi Ping’an faces no such threat. Rather, they become his prey.
For Shi Ping’an, demons equate to sustenance, even potent Body Tempering Spirit Medicine.
Down the line, he could forge his Dao by feasting on demons.
Of course, that's a distant prospect.
Early on, this exceptional Life Chart remains somewhat fragile.
Stronger demons could easily slay him, denying any chance to thrive later.
