Chapter 1504: Chapter 76: Tree of Fortune VS Son of Fortune_3

But even so, under the operation of the Formation, specks of green light were still stripped from its body, absorbed and transformed by the Formation into power that cultivators from the Profound Martial could harness and utilize.

These specks of green light are the Innate Power Source of the Tree of Fortune.

The power of fortune is elusive and ethereal, and humans can hardly control or use it, let alone sense it.

But with the Innate Power Source of the Tree of Fortune, cultivators can borrow the power of the Tree of Fortune to temporarily control the power of fortune, allowing the ambient fortune to converge onto a person for a short period, or temporarily disperse the fortune power of others.

However, since this Innate Power Source is forcibly extracted through the "Heaven Plundering Formation" and is not naturally produced, it is consumable.

Each extraction can only last six hours; after which, using this forcefully acquired but incompatible innate power will backlash, leading to prolonged periods of poor condition and bad luck.

But even so, the powerful effects of fortune enhancement are still sufficient to offset all its negative consequences.

Under the extraction by the "Heaven Plundering Formation," the continuous Innate Power Source was stripped from the body of the Tree of Fortune.

And as time passed, the Tree of Fortune’s natural resistance and struggle grew weaker.

Its slender leaves trembled, and its elongated trunk also shook continuously; even with its spiritual intelligence suppressed, one could still feel the bone-deep pain from its trembling frequency, as if enduring some harsh torture.

When the "Heaven Plundering Formation" ceased operation, its condition had become extremely bad, with leaves wilted more than before, their color turning increasingly dim and yellowish, and even the branches became soft and weak, looking as if it was on its last breath.

Meanwhile, at the same time, a faint green glow emerged in the depths of Wei Qingyun’s eyes. Invisible and intangible forces of fortune began to converge upon him, enveloping his entire body.

If someone could observe the power of fortune with their own eyes, they would notice that now Wei Qingyun was completely enveloped by a dense white fortune power, with even his head crowned by glowing red lights, a sign of boundless good fortune enveloping him.

Wei Qingyun felt greatly reassured.

He had seen the Family Head use this technique before; once used, it truly augmented one’s fortune, turning dangers into safety and disasters into blessings.

Whether delving for minerals, one would surely find high-quality veins; if competing in business, the competitor would often encounter various "accidents"; if in negotiations, there often would be noble people to assist. In short, everything one undertook would go extremely smoothly.

Beyond that, there were some unconventional uses in battle as well.

Wei Qingyun, with fingers alongside his body, suddenly pinched a Jade Talisman, which under the stimulation of Mysterious Energy, instantly exploded.

Space seemed to be teased by an invisible finger, sending out a complex and invisible wave of energy outward.

Soon, the space within a hundred miles started to oscillate in a mysterious manner.

"Eh?" The Sword Formation Double Ji first sensed something amiss, "The rhythmic fluctuations of space seem very strange, giving a familiar unsettling premonition."

Before they could investigate further, the clouds in the sky began to surge turbulently like tides.

Dense water vapor gathered, and in an instant, the cotton-white clouds turned gloomy and dark, with the atmosphere becoming increasingly dangerous and obscure.

Within the dark clouds, faint lightning could be seen.

Soon, the area of the black clouds condensed grew larger and larger, covering the sky and pressing towards the Sword Tomb. The rolling thunderclouds and the rumbling thunder were startling, giving everyone an ominous premonition of an impending disaster.

"Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud!"

The Sword Formation Double Ji, experienced and knowledgeable, were immediately shocked and perplexed, "What on earth happened? How did the Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud suddenly appear? These youngsters clearly aren’t at the stage to provoke the Divine Skill Tribulation, right?"

The Divine Skill Tribulation is generated by the interference of the Heavenly Dao when a cultivator at the Peak Purple Abode tries breaking into the Divine Power Territory.

Back in the day, Wang Licui’s Master Yunyang had undergone the Divine Skill Tribulation in Muyue Mansion of Muyue State.

As inheritors of the Sword Formation Dual Absolutes Codex through the generations, each had undergone the Divine Skills Tribulation, thus the Sword Formation Double Ji recognized this tribulation cloud at a glance.

"Could it be that this lad’s comprehension of Sword Intent was too powerful, attracting the tribulation cloud?" Yun Tai’an stared dumbfounded at the terrifying Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud in the sky, his heart pounding.

Despite his usual appearance in white robes, holding a sword, and dressed like a sword immortal, his cultivation had just recently broken through to the Mid Stage of the Purple Abode, still far too distant from undergoing the tribulation.

With his current cultivation, being struck by the Divine Thunder Tribulation was no joking matter.

"Don’t talk nonsense, we’ve lived so long and have never heard of comprehending Sword Intent that could draw a Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud," scolded the Sword Formation Double Ji, "For some reason, there was a strange energy fluctuation earlier, almost like someone trying to break into the Divine Power Territory. It’s likely that the Heavenly Dao was misled, mistaking this place for someone attempting uncertified ascension, thus consolidating the tribulation cloud."

The path of cultivation is about defying the heavens, and various stages of Heavenly Tribulations serve as punitive measures for those attempting to defy the heavens.

However, the Heavenly Dao always leaves a thread of life; if the defier successfully transcends the tribulation, the Heavenly Dao will naturally provide a way of survival.
