Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Puny Schemes
Lin Lee appeared beside the piller of fortune, feeling the familiar fluctuation around it.
The bead spirit in his mind shook, and the fluctuation around the piller intensified. Lin Lee blinked instantly; he appeared in a white gown.
"Where is this place?" Lin Lee muttered curiously, looking around at the pure white space around, then he noticed something raised his head and walked toward that direction.
Slowly, golden particles started revealing themselves in front of him, and then a huge golden piller became visible in his vision.
'It seems this is the genuine pillar of fortune; the one outside is just a way toward it,' Lin Lee thought to himself. He walked and appeared beside it, touching the golden piller.
Instantly intense golden light shone in the space, and a huge memory appeared in his mind.
Lin Lee closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground, started digesting the memory,
After a while, he opened his eyes and muttered in surprise, "Fortune Art, use the fortune to build the path toward eternity."
Lin Lee then shook his head and muttered thoughtfully, "Eternity, it's just a dream of immortals, but no one can reach it."
"Also, who can practice this art except me? It requires an unimaginable amount of fortune to build the foundation in each realm," Lin Lee then muttered, doubtfully observing the exercise.
Fortune Art, created by the ancient fortune king, absorbs the fortune aura to build the foundation of heaven.
'The main feature of this exercise art is to speed up the practice. Art is divided into five parts, and each part increases practice speed by ten times upon completion,' Lin Lee thought to himself after observing the art, then he glanced in the direction of Golden Piller.
"Will this exercise effect my practice speed also?" Lin Lee muttered doubtfully; he blinked the next moment he returned to the top floor of the exercise pavilion.
Looking at the fortune piller and the special fluctuation around it disappeared,
"Kid, why did you choose the fortune art? You should have chosen other arts. Where will you find the fortune aura in this era? This art was produced in an era even before the ancient era. The fortune in that era was abundant; now it is a rare commodity in heaven and earth. Even if you try your best, you can only practice the first part with it." An instantly familiar voice sounded beside him.
Lin Lee turned and glanced at the old man sitting at the edge of an open window; his pupil shrank, and then asked calmly, "You are following me, old man?"
"You are right, I was following you because I wanted to know the difference between the ascenders and non-ascended; after fortune piller chose you, now I am sure the ascenders can change the fate of heaven; that's why some heaven lords are afraid of them." Old Leng nodded affirmatively and then explained the reason behind his appearance everywhere.
Lin Lee expression becomes thoughtful hearing Old Leng explanation.
'This old man didn't know the reason behind ascender hunting; why am I feeling he lied to me just now?' Lin Lee thought to himself and then glanced at the Old Leng and nodded and asked, "Well, then can you tell me, is there a way to find the fortune?"
Old Leng glanced at him for a while, rubbing his goatee, and then shook his head and said, "There is no other way to find fortune; beside the luck and fortune itself wanted to come to you."
Lin Lee's expression became thoughtful after listening to the old man say, 'What is the purpose of this old man?' He thought and then asked with furrowed brows, "Then which exercise should I choose if there is no fortune?"
Old Leng smiled and then said, "Although there is no fortune, but I know a way that can help you gather it."
Lin Lee raised his brow in surprise looking at him and asked, "Didn't you just say there is no fortune?"
Old Leng shook his head and said with a playful smile on his face, "You haven't heard my words clearly; I mean gathering and taking of fortune, not finding it; there is no ready-made fortune available anywhere in heavens, but you can take it from others by force."
Lin Lee expression fell silent and then glanced at the old leng calmly and asked, "How can I do that?"
"Ha ha ha, I knew you would be interested; here comprehend it; if you don't understand anything, just call my name." Old Leng laughed loudly, pointing at his forehead, and then disappeared.
After a while,
Lin Lee opened his eyes; a ruthless flicker flashed through his pupil. 'This old bastard, does he really think he can deceive me with his puny schemes?' He thought and then glanced at the pillar of fate and destiny. He walked toward them.
Instantly, he appeared beside the pavilion master, the old man sitting at the entrance before.
"You can choose only one exercise art per month; come next month and choose another one; that's the rule." The pavilion master reminded calmly,
Lin Lee nodded and then left the pavilion building calmly, looking at the direction of disciples moving around, then glanced at the sun going to be set.
'My free day is almost over; I can only visit the pavilion next week; it's time to explore those abyssal caves,' he thought and then walked toward his residence.
…
Next morning,
Lin Lee, sitting cross-legged on the boulder, opened his eyes. A purple-gold mana flickered through his pupil, mixed with chaotic mana in his body.
Purple mana is the early sun's energy, and golden particles are the fortune gathered by the surrounding.
'The old Leng gave me the exercise to take the fortune by force, but this exercise has a great loophole; once someone with complete exercise appears, then he can take away all my fortune also, including the fortune gathered by me.' Lin Lee thought to himself, observing the fortune devouring art,
'Also, I now realize the difference between fate, destiny, and fortune; fortune is what you have, good or bad; destiny is what you encounter or will encounter; fate is the decider. It decides everything about you—your past, present, and future. This is my understanding of fate, destiny, and fortune.' Lin Lee thought to himself, then a smile appeared on his face.
'This old guy tried to control my fate; now he will bear the consequences; it's his destiny,' Lin Lee thought playfully, then ordered his nanobots to analyze and add the fortune art and unknown art, both exercise arts, to his boundless heaven art.
Nanobots started calculating; the next moment, nanobots shook and stopped. 'It seems they can't analyze the King class exercise for now,' Lin Lee thought, seeing the nanobots stop analyzing the fortune art he got in the pavilion; instead, they started analyzing the unknown exercise given by the old Leng.
Lin Lee then ignored them and glanced in the direction of the abyssal cave entrance. He walked toward one of them and put his hand above one of the boulders.
The formation above the boulder flickered. Lin Lee's vision passed through, looking at the darkness on the other side and hearing the strange echoes from deep in the cave.
Time and Space! Teleport!
Instantly, his figure flickered and appeared on the other side of the boulder.
Lin Lee glanced at the dark tunnel in front of him, and sharp creaking noises became clearer.
Trembling!!!
Instantly, the cave started shaking as if a huge monster were invading it forcefully, coming toward Lin Lee.
Lin Lee raised his brow, 'It seems their sense of smell is extremely high,' he thought to himself.
Creak!!!
Instantly a huge centipede-shaped monster appeared in front of him, dark black with gray marks on its body.
Lin Lee smiled playfully and raised his hand. A nanobot ball appeared in his hand; instantly it squirmed, and huge ropes ejected out from it, binding the centipede-shaped abyss monster instantly.
"Neigh hhh," the monster started roaring, then melted and disappeared. Lin Lee glanced at the trembling surrounding the walls of the cave.
"More incoming," Lin Lee muttered, and then the nanobots transformed into spikes and flew toward the cave entrance.
Lin Lee walked forward and passed through the open area inside the cave, looking at the huge melting figures of abyss monsters.
He ignored them and walked toward the entrance of the cave. After a while, he appeared near the entrance, looking at the outside atmosphere.
'Darkness, as expected of an abyss, there is no light,' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the gray atmosphere everywhere around; it's like the black and white motion picture.
Seeing dark yellow sand and different-shaped monsters emerging out of it like dolphins from the sea and then diving inside the sandy ground again,
Lin Lee raised his brow. Nanobots squirmed from below his feet and started spreading around, covering the huge range around, devouring all types of monsters.
Instantly, Lin Lee felt huge feedback in his body. His eyes lit up, and he sat cross-legged in the cave entrance, absorbing the feedback.
Nanobot rings started rotating around him, protecting him in the middle.
