TBIP: Chapter 32 Part 1

Luck might be illusory, but it was everywhere.

Those whose fate was as bright as a rainbow found it much easier to obtain opportunities compared to ordinary cultivators, and often also possessed the ability to turn misfortune into fortune.

It could be seen from Ye Hantian’s style of acting that his ability to offend people wasn’t small.

In the original novel, there were those who cultivated to the highest level among the people he provoked.

If it was someone else, it wasn’t known how many times they would’ve died. However, Ye Hantian always had the ability to turn danger into safety.

If it wasn’t He Wanqing appearing in time to stop Wen Hanshan’s sword, a key person would’ve probably appeared to protect him.

Or the person who wanted to attack Ye Hantian would suddenly have an accident.

There might be an invasion of demons or a recurrence of old injuries, resulting in a sharp drop in strength. In the end, the goal couldn’t be achieved, and Ye Hantian would find an opportunity to kill the opponent.

This became a part of his glorious resume of leapfrogging challenges.

So now, as soon as Lou Xingyao heard what Wen Hanshan said, he was reminded of all types of abnormalities when fighting against Ye Hantian and inevitably thought of the other person’s almost weird luck.

“If that is the case, it makes sense.” Wen Hanshan was no stranger to luck. After a little bit of thought, he figured out the key points and said with a bit of regret, “It seems it is indeed impossible to act against him now.”

In Wen Hanshan’s heart, they had already formed a great enmity of life or death, so he would naturally never stop.

He might’ve withdrawn his hand today, but he had other plans in his heart.

He thought that since Ye Hantian had come to seek a breakthrough in the Endless Forest, he must not leave easily in a short amount of time.

Even demon beasts had to take a nap. The Zhou family’s protector might not be able to take care of Ye Hantian’s safety all the time.

In the course of training, it wasn’t uncommon to lose one’s life.

Then he would find an opportunity to quietly kill this person.

Now that there was an early warning in his heart and he knew the other person had great luck, it was a bit impossible to act at this time.

“I was too careless.” Lou Xingyao thought back to his conflict with Ye Hantian today. He naturally knew that according to Ye Hantian’s temperament, he must be holding a grudge against Lou Xingyao and Wen Hanshan. This made Lou Xingyao inevitably feel a bit annoyed.

He even started to regret choosing to go to the spiritual plant store today to clear the goods.

If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t have met the burly man on the way back, and the rest of the matter naturally wouldn’t have happened.

Unexpectedly, Wen Hanshan looked at Lou Xingyao very strangely. “Since you can hear that person’s heart, you must also know that the artifact spirit is very hostile to me. Even if there wasn’t today’s matter, he and I would meet sooner or later.”

Don’t say it. Lou Xingyao really couldn’t refute this.

Based on the system’s scream, it couldn’t wait to get rid of Wen Hanshan as soon as possible.

Ye Hantian might be extremely dissatisfied with the system, but the meaning revealed in his words showed that he reached a consensus with the system in some aspects. For example, his attitude toward Wen Hanshan.

He didn’t do it today because Wen Hanshan was too strong and he didn’t dare to easily provoke Wen Hanshan.

Lou Xingyao didn’t know why the original novel never mentioned this system at all.

He also didn’t know what happened between Wen Hanshan and Ye Hantian in the original novel to form their life-or-death feud.

But judging from the current results, the relationship between the two of them seemed to gradually overlap with the description in the original novel.

Lou Xingyao thought about what He Wanqing said. She signed a marriage contract with Ye Hantian a month ago under the arrangement of the family.

There were deviations from the original timeline, but the general events hadn’t changed.

At this time, Lou Xingyao suddenly realized that the power of the plot seemed to be more powerful than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Lou Xingyao inevitably thought of the ending in the plot where Wen Hanshan died at the hands of Ye Hantian. His heart immediately tensed. “Is there no other way?”

“Of course not. Luck isn’t a static thing.” As early as when Lou Xingyao put forward the theory of luck, Wen Hanshan searched for all types of information related to it in his mind.

This matter was illusory, but there were people in the big world with special skills that could observe it.

Wen Miaoyin once told Wen Hanshan that a cultivator’s luck was like the tide.

If the tide rose, there would be a time when the tide fell.

Even those who were lucky would have times when the tide would ebb and flow.

“So… Can we wait for Ye Hantian’s luck to fall before making a move?” Lou Xingyao’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

Lou Xingyao didn’t understand this method of observing luck.

But since Ye Hantian recognized his ancestors and returned to the family, his cultivation had been making great progress. Now that he signed a marriage contract with a proud woman like He Wanqing, it could be seen that this coincided with the rising tide of the other person.

Combine this with the fact that Ye Hantian’s luck was even greater than ordinary people, and it seemed that now was indeed not the time to start.

Wen Hanshan nodded. At the same time, he added, “In addition, we need to strengthen ourselves.”

In addition to the tide he just mentioned, a cultivator’s luck was closely related to their own strength.

A qi condensation cultivator couldn’t go beyond a golden core cultivator, even if his luck was in full swing.

As long as the strength gap between him and Ye Hantian could be widened, the other person’s strange luck would naturally no longer be an existence that could hinder him from making a move.

Unexpectedly, Lou Xingyao frowned even more after hearing this.

Judging from the situation of the plot, Ye Hantian’s cultivation speed wasn’t slow. It could even be described as very fast.

In the original novel, Wen Hanshan had already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building when he first appeared. At that time, Ye Hantian was just a small cultivator in the third level of qi condensation.

Yet in the end, Wen Hanshan was only in the spirit severing realm when he went offline while Ye Hantian had already broken through to integration. It was a whole realm higher than Wen Hanshan.

Both of them had single spiritual roots. Wen Hanshan’s spiritual root was innate, and his purity was 10% higher than Ye Hantian’s. By all accounts, Ye Hantian shouldn’t take the lead.

The difference was Ye Hantian’s strange luck. It allowed him to always get the right opportunity at the critical moment, so that he could narrow the gap between the two. This caused the final situation.

If they truly proceeded slowly, the situation would become unfavorable for both him and Wen Hanshan once Ye Hantian obtained all those opportunities.

Wait!

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Lou Xingyao’s mind.

Ye Hantian was able to prevail later on due to the various opportunities he obtained. So why not find a way to snatch those opportunities from him?

In the original novel, there were many opportunities that were just written briefly, such as the spirit cleansing plant.

But there were also many opportunities, just like the portable space in Lou Xingyao’s hand. This was described in great detail from its appearance to the way it was obtained.

If he could get his hands on some of the opportunities that were described in detail, it would be enough to have a certain impact on Ye Hantian.

No.

Perhaps it already had an impact.

It must be known that in the original novel, Ye Hantian had never been worried about money due to the existence of the spiritual field in the space.

Later, he even became one of the richest people in the world.

How could it be like now where just 3,000 spirit beads could make Ye Hantian angry at the system that protected him?

Lou Xingyao couldn’t help praising his own behavior back then for digging out the space-related memory from Lou Xiaowu’s recollections and claiming it for himself in advance.

If it wasn’t for that, he was afraid that this space would’ve already fallen into Ye Hantian’s hands.

Lou Xingyao couldn’t help thinking of the plot description in the original novel when Ye Hantian obtained the space.

Who knew that the next moment, he would be shocked by the words that appeared in his mind. He couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat.

In the original novel, Ye Hantian’s space came from a small cannon fodder who didn’t even have a name.

At that time, Ye Hantian had just transmigrated to Tianming Continent. He usually read a lot of transmigration novels and naturally regarded himself as the hero of the novel.

After his cultivation level broke through, this mindset swelled to the peak.

This little cannon fodder happened to be caught by Ye Hantian in the act of killing and stealing treasures.

Ye Hantian considered himself the male protagonist. How could he endure this?

It must be known that the main character’s most defining trait was his tendency to shout at injustice whenever he saw it.

So Ye Hantian immediately took action and struck down that little cannon fodder, who was barely at the third level of qi condensation.

At the same time, he even said something that Lou Xingyao was very familiar with.

“Meeting me is your retribution!”

After dealing with the little cannon fodder, Ye Hantian didn’t forget to collect the loot.

That unsightly little bead was one of the trophies Ye Hantian found from the little cannon fodder.

Later, Ye Hantian found that there was a treasure in this small bead, which was actually a portable space. He sighed emotionally that this was good retribution.

At that time, Lou Xingyao hadn’t noticed anything wrong with this plot.

Now looking back, he realized that this description was very similar to the conflict between him and Ye Hantian today.

Thinking of this space again, it was originally a relic left by Lou Xiaowu’s mother. What else did he not understand?

The little cannon fodder cut under the sword by Ye Hantian, who ‘saw injustice’ was either him or Lou Xiaowu!”

Thinking that he might be a cannon fodder who didn’t even leave his name in the original novel, Lou Xingyao suddenly felt that the already hateful face of Ye Hantian was even more disgusting.

At the same time, this strengthened Lou Xingyao’s determination to snatch the opportunities that originally belonged to Ye Hantian in the novel.

Thinking of this, Lou Xingyao’s gaze gradually became firm. He raised his eyes to look at Wen Hanshan. “Since this is the case, I want to go out to train!”

Based on what he gained last time in the Endless Forest, he knew that actual combat was the fastest way to improve his strength.

The most important thing was that in the original novel, the opportunities that belonged to Ye Hantian could only be found by going out for training.

“It should be like this.” Wen Hanshan nodded. He had this intention even if Lou Xingyao hadn’t brought it up. “We will set off after I build my foundation tomorrow.”

“Good!’ Even though he knew that Wen Hanshan would never refuse him, the corners of Lou Xingyao’s mouth couldn’t help curving up. He soon realized the other part of what Wen Hanshan said and couldn’t help being a bit surprised. “Build your foundation tomorrow?”

“Just in time.” Wen Hanshan nodded. He knew what Lou Xingyao wanted to ask, so he raised his hand slightly.

The next moment, a small sword around three inches long appeared on Wen Hanshan’s outstretched palm.

The little sword went straight to Lou Xingyao the moment it appeared.

It was so fast that it was surprising.

Lou Xingyao subconsciously raised his hand to block it. Unexpectedly, the little sword slowed down directly when it got close to Lou Xingyao.

Then it swayed forward slowly and leisurely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Oh, I haven’t seen it for a while. Is it sensible?” Lou Xingyao couldn’t help teasing.

He didn’t forget the recklessness of the Sword Dao Stone.

The Sword Dao Stone seemed to understand Lou Xingyao’s praise. It immediately let out a cheerful buzz. At the same time, it shook up and down.

It was like a child and couldn’t hide its thoughts.

Lou Xingyao finally saw the current appearance of this Sword Dao Stone.

Unlike the rough, semi-finished product that he saw last time in Wen Hanshan’s dantian, the current Sword Dao Stone was much more refined.

It was still only three inches in size, so its blade was clearly visible.

Even the once indistinct golden-red streamer had become much more regular and orderly.

Due to its size, Lou Xingyao still couldn’t see what the streamer was. But he could roughly see that it seemed to be the prototype of a bird.

It was a prototype, but it could be seen that this bird was very luxurious.

The bird’s body was wrapped around the hilt and blade of the sword. It wasn’t ugly and even added a bit of gorgeous brilliance to the almost completely black small sword.
