Chapter 525: Wheel Of Fortune
Cui Shuyin shook her head with a slightly annoyed expression, Lin Feng had to say they seemed to have a good relationship.
"There is one thing I have to remind you all, if Xiu’er isn’t interested in accepting the challenges from you disciples, then none of you are allowed to use your seniority here.."
Hearing Cui Shuyin, most of the Head Elders nodded.
" We do know her slightly, so you don’t have to worry about it.." Tian Ruhai gave a nod," By the way, will she take part in this year’s sect competition?"
"I don’t have a clue about that." Cui Shuyin waved her hand off.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, observed the disciples standing beside some of the Head Elders, all of them were in the peak stage of Initiation Realm, that meant they really had come to challenge Sun Xiurong.
" By the way, I have brought some interesting piece of information from the Hidden Shadow Pavilion.." Xiao Canglan spoke with little mirth.
Everyone immediately looked towards Xiao Canglan because something interesting in his possession was definitely worth their attention.
" Alchemy Hall got someone with Heavenly Flame.."
Shen Tainji’s eyes widened slightly, it wasn’t the first time someone with Heavenly Flame had appeared in Alchemy Hall, it was just that this generation didn’t have any.
" Should we consider that the wheel of fortune is complete with this one.." Zhao Tianheng stated with a slight sigh.
Lin Feng was a little surprised hearing that term, it marked the beginning of an era for a particular world.
All the prominent sects held immense amounts of karmic fortune due to their long existence, so the appearance of a heavenly genius was like a written fate for them.
Of course, it didn’t happen every generation, but if one prominent sect got hold of a heavenly genius, then others would definitely have a chance to get one..and this was what was meant by the wheel of fortune for the world.
" Troublesome times ahead, Sister Cui, I hope you won’t let Sun Xiurong leave the sect like last time.." Tian Ruhai stated while looking at Cui Shuyin.
"If only Sun Xiurong would listen, she feels as if we are restricting her.." Qin Ruoxuan shook her head.
Cui Shuyin smiled slightly," Don’t worry about it, from now on she would definitely listen.."
Others were a little surprised at her confidence because they knew that it wasn’t the case before.
"Well, if you are confident, then it’s reassuring.." Xiao Canglan smiled amicably at Cui Shuyin.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, went into deep thought, it was obvious that Sun Xiurong was the heavenly genius of Mysterious Heaven Sect...Now he also understood the intent of these people wanting to challenge her.
When the wheel of fortune considered someone as a genius, then they received fortune worthy of their title as a heavenly genius. This fortune provided many hidden opportunities to these geniuses, helping them silently on their path of cultivation.
But not everything was as good as it sounded because this fortune also made you a target, not only because of envy and jealousy but also because this fortune was a bit contagious in nature...
The Heavens were all about balance, so how could they favour someone blindly, you had to pay some price in some way.
For a heavenly genius, if they were defeated in a fair battle by someone with a similar cultivation realm, then some part of their fortune would be transferred to that person, and worse, if the heavenly genius was killed by that person, then their whole fortune would be transferred..
So, in a sense, all the heavenly geniuses were like heavenly opportunities which others would die to get their hands on.
No wonder, Cui Shuyin and others were worried for Sun Xiurong so much, and it was valid for them to have those concerns as the presence of a Heavenly Genius influenced the overall fortune of the whole sect.
As for bringing their disciples to challenge Sun Xiurong, it wasn’t selfish in a sense because if Sun Xiurong won such a battle, then her fortune would strengthen too...further improving the sect’s fortune.
The overall fortune of a sect was very important for the whole sect, even if no one could see it, it helped in silent improvements like successful breakthroughs, the appearance of more geniuses, even those elders who were stuck at a bottleneck might feel the chance of breakthrough..
As Lin Feng was thinking that, he felt a silent gaze, but since it didn’t seem to be specifically cast at him, he didn’t get alert. He didn’t have to wonder who it was since a person appeared on the platform...it was none other than Supreme Elder Shi, whom he had met at the Scripture Pavilion.
"I hope I am not late.."
" I wasn’t expecting you to come here, Supreme Elder." Xiao Canglan spoke and stood up before giving a bow.
Other Head Elders did the same, along with the disciples.
" I was a little interested in seeing Sun Xiurong’s progress, so I decided to come here..please sit, everyone, no need for formalities.."
There were enough seats as Cui Shuyin had already expected his arrival, so there was no shortage, after seating herself, she finally sent a spiritual message to Zhi Hui to start the competition.
As the competition started, Xiao Canglan shared the same news of the Wheel of Fortune with Shi Wen.
They discussed the prospects of it, but Lin Feng didn’t pay much attention to their conversation and saw the first fight going on between two male disciples of Early Initiation Realm.
Looking at their arts, it was obvious that they had both followed the same cultivation technique..which was quite a normal occurrence in sects.
This was what was truly considered as mediocre talent.
A path in Dao was vastly different than the whole Dao...paths were always unique depending on the comprehension of the individual, and all those paths were just part of a particular Dao.
A Cultivation Technique was nothing but a path, and those who cultivated it without trying to even deviate from it slightly by seeking their own insights would always walk someone else’s path, never truly surpassing the limits of that path.
