Chapter 91: 91, Thief Who Stole the Dragon (Seeking More Reads)

Layer by layer, the curtains concealed them.

"Amitabha."

Master Fa Hui and Xu Xing sat in the hall, one in front of the other, beating the Wooden Fish and starting the recitation of sutras.

However—

At the next moment, Xu Xing saw a shocking sight.

A three-foot-long centipede crawled out from Master Fa Hui’s scalp. This centipede was a dark, greenish-black, its many legs yellow, and it moved rather slowly. After emerging from Master Fa Hui’s body, it headed straight for Empress Dowager Liu’s Phoenix Couch without hesitation.

The nearby palace maids and Eunuchs seemed completely oblivious, as if they couldn’t see this evil creature at all.

The curtain was slowly drawn aside. The thousand-legged centipede split into countless smaller ones, which crawled into Empress Dowager Liu’s seven apertures, constantly moving in and out.

"Disciple, quickly... Suppress these evil thoughts for your Master."

At this moment, Master Fa Hui’s low growl reached Xu Xing’s ear.

"Yes, Master."

Xu Xing didn’t hesitate. He gathered True Yuan in his palms and pushed it forward, into Master Fa Hui’s body. His Innate True Essence possessed some characteristics of the Bright King Body, capable of warding off evil and preserving one’s true mind.

As time passed, some Buddha light began to emanate from Master Fa Hui. The tiny centipedes crawling on Empress Dowager Liu gradually vanished into nothingness. Empress Dowager Liu looked no different from when she had just fallen asleep, as delicate and beautiful as ever.

"The two House Elders’ Dharma is truly profound... You should be greatly rewarded."

After sleeping for about half an hour, Empress Dowager Liu rose, covered her mouth, and let out a satisfied yawn. It was the first time in years she had slept so comfortably.

"Thank you for your reward, Empress Dowager."

Master Fa Hui and Xu Xing expressed their gratitude one after the other.

Meanwhile, Xu Xing’s gaze was also fixed on his consciousness space.

[Thief Who Stole the Dragon (Emperor Purple)]: Recklessly sharpening the knife, the emperor star wavers. Donning the Purple Robe, committing treasonous acts, becoming a hero of chaos. Facing the threats of the Imperial Court, you have a great chance of finding good fortune in calamities, surviving the brink of death in dangerous situations.

A Destiny involving fate... I didn’t expect it to be achieved so easily.

Xu Xing was surprised. He had originally planned to get involved in a rebellion or assassinate high officials, much like he did in the late Qing Instance World, to condense another Destiny involving fate.

He never imagined that after becoming an accomplice today in the covert plot against Empress Dowager Liu, he would so easily condense the Emperor Purple Fate [Thief Who Stole the Dragon].

True, the Empress Dowager is the Emperor’s birth mother, he rationalized to himself. By helping Master Fa Hui swallow the Dayan Dynasty’s Luck, it’s no less than directly assassinating the Emperor. After all, the Luck the Emperor possesses is only a part of the Dynasty’s Luck...

However, just a short while later, merely the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after the Luck of the Emperor Purple Fate [Thief Who Stole the Dragon] had condensed, the [Thief Official] and [Bright King Body] Destinies, listed in the [Dao Fruit] column on the Mirror Surface, began to slowly disintegrate, their characters becoming illegible...

Destiny collapse... Is it... the backlash from Master Fa Hui transferring the Dayan Dynasty’s Luck? Xu Xing wondered. No wonder I condensed the [Thief Who Stole the Dragon] Destiny. It’s because I shouldered the backlash, effectively making me the mastermind. That Old Monk truly harbored ill intentions.

Seeing this, Xu Xing finally understood the Old Monk’s plan.

The Dayan Dynasty’s Luck wasn’t something anyone could seize. Even Innate Martial Artists were mere ants beneath the weight of a nation’s Luck. This kind of backlash was severe. If not for the protection of the Bronze Ancient Mirror, it would have been enough to cause a Destiny collapse and Luck leakage. His Bright King Body would have been contaminated, turning ordinary, and he would have died from the backlash.

Then, the Gold clear mirror surface released a dazzling light and trembled gently. The disintegrated [Thief Official] and [Bright King Body] Destinies coalesced once more, standing firm in the [Dao Fruit] column.

"Zhi Xing, are you feeling any discomfort?" Master Fa Hui asked casually as they left the Imperial Palace and headed towards Guanyin Temple.

"Master..." Xu Xing began, "Disciple feels..." He then recounted, detail by detail, how he had felt the last time his Luck had leaked.

"That must be because the Flame Dynasty’s Luck discovered you are a descendant of the Wen Family," Master Fa Hui explained, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Back then, your father almost ascended to the throne and became Emperor, severing the Flame Dynasty’s destiny..."

After they had walked a short distance, Xu Xing spoke. "Master, I wonder if I have the karmic method to cultivate this Dragon Transformation Technique? Today, after seeing Master sever his anger and hatred, my state of mind has become much clearer."

Though his words were calm, there was an aggressive implication in his tone. It seemed that if the Old Monk’s next word was "no," Xu Xing would immediately turn hostile.

A Gentleman hides his talents, waiting for the opportune moment. Now, his Cultivation was close to that of Master Fa Hui, at least on the surface. This formed a basis for negotiation. Furthermore, Master Fa Hui needed him more than he needed the Old Monk. Besides, they were master and disciple... Asking for the Dragon Transformation Technique, while seemingly bold, was actually quite reasonable.

"Hmm... The Dragon Transformation Technique..." The Old Monk closed his eyes in thought for a moment inside the Horse carriage, then sighed. "Foolish Child, since you wish to seek this technique, then as your Master, I shall teach it to you. However, feeding demons with your body is not a good thing."

The most critical part of Heavenly Dragon Temple’s Dragon Transformation Technique is not transforming into a dragon, but transforming into a Buddha, the Old Monk mused. He had only told Xu Xing about the Dragon Transformation Technique, but not about the true Secret Technique of transforming into a Buddha. Severing anger and hatred, cultivating the Dragon Transformation Technique, transforming into a Heavenly Dragon... Then, the Heavenly Dragon Transforming Buddha, attaining Arhat Fruit. A single thought can create a demon, or a Buddha. The Five Poisons, manifestations of anger and hatred, are what allow ordinary beings to most easily achieve Buddhahood.

"Disciple... thanks Master for granting the technique." Xu Xing put his palms together in a Buddhist salute.

Once he got his hands on the Dragon Transformation Technique, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to stay in the Flame Dynasty Capital. His first goal in the Instance World—solidifying an Emperor Purple Fate, [Thief Who Stole the Dragon], that involved fate—had been achieved. The Capital no longer held any attraction for him. With his Innate status, the whole world was open to him. There was no need to cling to the Heavenly Dragon Temple. One should remain calm in the face of adversity, run away first, and return when their strength is grown. He didn’t want to be a Monk forever.

...

...

「Reality.」

In the Study of the Heavenly King’s Mansion on Guanxi Road, Xu Xing opened his eyes, coming back to his senses.

After opening the Instance World, he had spent a total of about two months in Heavenly Dragon Temple and the Capital. The time ratio was one to thirty-six, which amounted to less than two days in Reality.

He opened the panel on the Bronze Ancient Mirror. On the Gold clear mirror surface, rows of words appeared:

"You have condensed the Emperor Purple Fate [Thief Who Stole the Dragon]. This Fate conflicts with the Bright Yellow Destiny [Thief Official]. Do you want to replace the Bright Yellow Destiny [Thief Official] with the Emperor Purple Fate [Thief Who Stole the Dragon] and solidify it using the [Dao Fruit]?"

"This process is irreversible."

The [Thief Who Stole the Dragon] Destiny is sufficient, Xu Xing thought. My Cultivation will not increase much in a short time. The Innate realm is already difficult to achieve, and the Grandmaster Realm is even more elusive... The internal Cultivation Methods I’ve collected do not mention specific methods for cultivating to the Grandmaster Realm. Now that I have reached the Innate stage, perhaps... my fate will be different.
