My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 340: Fortune
Drum sounds resounding throughout the city, carrying a wild and heavy aura filled with the breath of years.
Even Lu Bai, upon hearing this drum sound, felt his hands itching uncontrollably, eager for a fight.
Leading the Qingwang Sect disciples out of the Training Ground, under the guidance of that purple cloud glow in the sky, they headed toward the City Center.
Looking at the sky, one could see some flamboyant Immortal Sect disciples directly choosing to ride rainbows to fly over.
After all, among the Qingwang Sect disciples, except for Lu Bai, all were in the Qi Refining Stage and unable to flight.
Considering it inappropriate to just abandon Feng Pangzi and the others, Lu Bai ultimately chose to honestly lead them on foot.
Anyway, the distance wasn’t far.
……
There were hundreds of large and small Immortal Sects in Xuanzhou.
Regardless of an Immortal Sect’s strength, gathering a team of disciples under thirty years old was no pressure at all.
Almost every Immortal Sect sent out more than ten disciples.
With so many disciples added together, the number was considerable.
By the time Lu Bai led the Qingwang Sect disciples to arrive, the Training Ground in the City Center was already packed with cultivators.
The teams were distinctly separated, and those with good personal relations at most conversed from a distance.
Above the Training Ground, on the high platform, hundreds of seats were arranged for the Leading Elders and Renowned Figures from the various Immortal Sects.
“Hehe, your Teng Lou disciples have quite a spirited look.”
“No, no, still not as good as your Tianji Sect.”
“Their flesh tight and golden, could it be that the Golden Scale Evil Suppressing Technique has reached Great Accomplishment? It seems this session, your Golden Scale Holy Land’s Holy Son will dominate again.”
The Immortal Sect High Officials on the high platform chatted idly with each other, appearing peaceful.
But with a little attention, one could detect the barbs in these words.
“Wang the Gambler? So you’re the one leading the team this time.”
An old man without white beard in his face noticed Lu Bai and his group arriving, then feigned surprise as if just seeing Elder Wang, saying: “I heard your Qingwang Sect produced a genius this year?”
Elder Wang burst into laughter: “Just good luck, still needs some precipitation.”
“Hmph.”
A burly man with bronze skin and bare upper body suddenly snorted coldly upon hearing this.
He was the Vice Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect.
Since Lu Bai had stepped on their Blazing Fire Sect to rise, he naturally wouldn’t show any good complexion.
The old man without white beard in his face chuckled and pretended to smooth things over: “Everyone is here to attend the Dao Commencement Assembly, don’t ruin the harmony.”
……
Below on the Training Ground.
Since yesterday’s events had spread throughout Purple Cloud City, Lu Bai, even without much prestige, generally wouldn’t have anyone step out to provoke him at this time.
On the way forward with the Qingwang Sect disciples, some Immortal Sect disciples on good terms with Qingwang Sect greeted them, and Lu Bai, not arrogant, responded to each one.
“This is the Lu Bai who defeated Xi Ao Yan? Heard he did it in one move.”
“Indeed, although Blazing Fire Sect isn’t much, Xi Ao Yan was still considered an expert among Xuanzhou’s young generation. For this person to defeat him in one move, we can’t underestimate him.”
A young man sat cross-legged on the ground, with a Sword Box placed on his knees.
His complexion was fair, but what drew the most attention was his pair of eyes, sharp like swords, incredibly incisive; merely meeting his gaze made one’s eyes ache.
At this moment, he was staring intently at Lu Bai, who was leading at the front of the Qingwang Sect disciples.
As the Sword-Holding Disciple of this generation’s Sword Pavilion, the Drinking Youth had naturally told him everything that happened in the Restaurant: “Golden Core Stage under thirty? For someone from Qingwang Sect, that’s indeed quite difficult.”
The Golden Scale Holy Son sat upright at the forefront of the crowd, his appearance heroic and mighty, his exposed skin in the air covered in golden spots, which upon closer look shone brilliantly like sunlight.
Noticing Lu Bai, a flash of divine light appeared in his eyes, and he said: “Not bad, qualified to follow me.”
He said that, but he didn’t rush to move.
Because the Dao Commencement Assembly had begun.
After several Elders from Purple Cloud Villa confirmed everyone had arrived, without delaying time, they all activated the Formation.
The array patterns pre-etched on the Training Ground surface immediately lit up with brilliant purple light.
As the teleportation Formation was activated to its limit, the over a thousand Immortal Sect disciples gathered on the Training Ground were all teleported to Ziyun Mountain behind Purple Cloud City.
To ensure the Dao Commencement Assembly proceeded smoothly, Ziyun Mountain had restrictions set up three months in advance, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting during this period.
With Great Powers from the various Immortal Sects watching, cheating was basically eliminated.
……
The precise teleportation Formation randomly sent the over a thousand Immortal Sect disciples to various places in Ziyun Mountain.
The process of every Dao Commencement Assembly was about the same, and Lu Bai had understood it in advance.
He was prepared for this, recovering to normal after a slight dizziness.
He then leaped onto a nearby towering giant tree, surveying the surroundings to roughly determine his current position.
The first test of this assembly had rules somewhat like a battle royale; anyway, just try to persist until the end.
After all, with over a thousand Immortal Sect disciples, most of the weak ones needed to be eliminated first.
Otherwise, having a bunch of Spirit Transformation Stage Renowned Figures and Elders watch two Qi Refining Stage disciples in a Spellcasting Battle for a whole day would just be a waste of time, and wouldn’t reveal the true abilities of the young generation from the various Immortal Sects.
Of course, Lu Bai was willing to attend the Dao Commencement Assembly partly because he felt it easier to find Death Fighters here.
On the other hand, it was because he had some ideas about the rewards of the Dao Commencement Assembly.
From what he understood, the Dao Commencement Assembly involved profound fortune.
In cultivation, besides aptitude, fortune was also needed.
And fortune, many times, could be artificially influenced, which is the so-called human defying the heavens.
The Dao Commencement Assembly was such an opportunity to reverse one’s fortune.
The principle was quite simple, or rather cruel.
Gathering the elite of Xuanzhou’s young generation was equivalent to gathering Xuanzhou’s next generation’s fortune.
As long as one defeated opponents in the assembly, even without knowing the specific principles of the Heavenly Dao’s operation, one’s intangible fortune would still be enhanced.
In other words, even if one’s aptitude was insufficient, as long as one was strong enough, remained undefeated, and no one of the same generation dared to compete.
Then after the Dao Commencement Assembly ended, with the fortune plundered, it would be enough to support reaching the peak.
Of course, Lu Bai didn’t really care about being invincible among his peers.
He just had some guesses about this.
From the moment he understood this world’s Power System, he had been pondering what the “nodes” of this world really were.
Some heavenly treasure? Or some top-tier Cultivation Technique?
They didn’t seem to have that much influence, after all, human aptitude was fixed.
So, fortune?
Whether spiritual fruits, Magic Treasures, or immortal scriptures, under the concept of fortune, they could all be called opportunities.
Lu Bai slid down from the towering giant tree, lost in thought: “Then let’s give it a try.”
