Chapter 806: Chapter 266: “It seems like we’ve gone too far this time!

“…”

In Taotian State, the Guardian of the Bai Family’s young miss, after receiving a message from the old master, remained silent for a long time without speaking. What did it mean when they said the Bai Family had spent so much money raising so many useless people? Was this a dig at him?

He was old, old enough.

He could no longer remember how many heavy snowfalls he had seen, nor how many times he had felt the spring breeze on his face. He couldn’t recount how many times he had seen the newly-emerged willow branches, and he had forgotten how many Heavenly Prides he had encountered. Only a rare few of these Heavenly Prides were remembered by name, as most of them had perished.

Heavenly Pride was a group with the highest mortality rate, bar none.

If your talent was mediocre and you had no special fortune along the way, if you had no hidden cards and a very clear understanding of your own limits, knowing who you could provoke and who you couldn’t, you wouldn’t venture into dangerous Secret Realms or fight opponents above your level, you might not even battle someone of equal Cultivation.

But if you were a Heavenly Pride.

Everything was completely opposite. You had numerous hidden cards and countless opportunities. These factors gave you a strong confidence to challenge extremely difficult Secret Realms and enemies beyond your level.

Perhaps you succeeded once, twice, three times, gaining more opportunities each time and growing increasingly confident. But eventually, you would find that your hidden cards were insufficient to face the disasters you encountered, marking the fall of a Heavenly Pride.

You couldn’t blame others.

Indeed, if not for truly bad luck, ninety-nine percent of the destructive disasters in the Cultivation World were sought out by the victims themselves, believing in their ability to resolve them, only to realize they were a bit short on means, thus losing their lives.

Otherwise, there would be no mortals left in the Cultivation World; everyone would have died.

He too was once considered a Heavenly Pride in his youth. After all, reaching his level of Cultivation in youth qualified one as a Heavenly Pride. Only now, his life was nearly at an end, and he could foresee the end of his path. He could no longer fully utilize his Cultivation potential.

When the young lady died, he couldn’t even remain a Guardian. Perhaps by then, he truly would be completely useless…

If he didn’t stay with the Bai Family, he really didn’t know where else to go. He had been with the Bai Family for too long, was familiar with everyone there. The internal strife within the family had once seemed annoying, but as his life neared its end, he found he missed it.

He no longer remembered many things.

Just then—

“Grandfather.”

The young lady’s voice rang in his ears. She tilted her head curiously, “What did father tell you?”

“Nothing,”

The old man said with a smile, shaking his head, “He just instructed me to use some Spirit Stones to connect with Chen Qiu. Haven’t you forgiven your father yet? Don’t you want to reconnect with him even once?”

The young lady shook her head, a trace of sadness in her eyes, speaking softly, “No, why did he assign me to the Second Grade Continent? Although I know he did it for my good, I still wish to stay with father, even if it means living much fewer years.”

“Otherwise, even if it means living a few years longer, what’s the point?”

“That won’t be the case.” The old man gently patted the back of the Bai Family young miss’s head to comfort her, “The situation on the master’s side is reportedly very promising. The news of the first thread of ‘Luck of Yin Soul’ is gradually becoming clear. It won’t be long before we can gather a thread of ‘Yin Emperor’s Fortune.’”

“At that time, it can be used as the main ingredient for an expert from the Fourth Grade Continent to refine the Pill that will cure your ‘Immortal Cancer.’”

Th𝚒𝙨 𝕔hⱯp𝕥ᥱr ɩ𝖘 p◎ṡṯҽ∂ bʏ Ҡɪ𝗍𝓮𝑛ⲟ𝖛ɛ𝓁

“Hmm.”

The Bai Family’s young miss nodded slightly without speaking, her expression distant as she gazed afar. She knew her grandfather was comforting her. The ‘Luck of Yin Soul’ wasn’t something found in the Mortal World; it existed only in the underworld.

And it was as valuable as the ‘Heavenly Pride Fortune.’

Even in the underworld, it was an extraordinarily rare thing, not available to just anyone. A thread of ‘Yin Emperor’s Fortune’ was equivalent to a thread of ‘Unrivaled Genius Fortune,’ a value so great it could match a nation’s worth.

In the Third Grade Continent, it was unheard of for anyone to possess a thread of ‘Unrivaled Genius Fortune,’ let alone its counterpart ‘Yin Emperor’s Fortune,’ which was found only in the underworld.

To find a thread of Yin Emperor’s fortune,

One must first find someone who could travel between the underworld and the Mortal World, a task extremely difficult but not without a chance of success. It only necessitated waiting for the collapse of the underworld, which would briefly allow travel between the two realms.

During such times, traveling between the underworld and the Mortal World can be freely achieved.

Then, a way must be found to obtain nine threads of Yin Soul Luck in the underworld, completing the task, though the difficulty… was nearly impossible.

Moreover,

The collapse of the underworld often signaled the impending collapse of the world. The Qi Tian Continent was still very stable, with no signs of any collapse. The search would have to go to a lower-level continent, and there were just over a hundred such continents in the Qi Tian Continent.

This meant one must find a collapsing underworld continent among these hundred-odd lower continents and find a way to send someone in to obtain nine threads of Yin Soul Luck to gather a thread of ‘Yin Emperor’s Fortune.’

Just then—

The Bai Family’s young miss suddenly realized something. She quickly turned her head to look at the old man beside her, a flicker of fear in her voice, “Grandfather, why did the lower continents of Vast Continent, the First Grade Pingxi Continent, collapse recently? It wasn’t earlier or later, but just these few days.”
