Talisman Emperor
Chapter 406 The Unparalleled Fortune of Karma
According to the rules of the previous Allstar Meeting, once the top five were selected, a round of draws would be conducted to determine the participants who would do the next battle.
Within the jade box held by the Civil Marquis were five command tokens, four white and one black.
The four white command tokens have the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 on them. After they draw, the owner of the number 1 token will be placed against the owner of the number 4 token, whereas, the owner of the number 2 and 3 tokens will contradict each other.
A battle of two pairs to choose two of the top three, whereas, the owner of the black-colored token would instantly advance to the top three instead!
The reason it is set in this way is in order to test the participants' karmic luck.
As a cultivator, there was a very high importance related to karmic luck, and it stretched from the small karmic luck of one person to the immense karmic luck of the entire kingdom. It seems unreal and impossible to judge, but in the eyes of all cultivators, this karmic luck really exists. Even if they were unable to unravel the mystery, they would have to take it seriously.
The arrangement of the draw to select the individuals who will do battle in this round vaguely corresponds to the concept of karmic luck.
Lot was already almost withdrawn and no matter if it was the many cultivators in Silken City or all the Eternal Earth Realm experts, they all guessed the result.
“These five people are able to strive to reach the top five rankings, in addition to their own strength, they must be individuals who have great karmic luck. It was extremely difficult to guess who could obtain the black-colored command token. ”
"I look positively at Qing Xiuyi. He was a reincarnated Heavenly God, causing the purity of his attitude, his natural talent, and karmic luck to surpass everyone. Black command token might be obtained. ”
"I think Zhao Qinghe isn't bad. He was from the Peacock Pavilion, and in the history records indefinitely, it was a blessed land that had given birth to many Heavenly Deities, causing it to have a natural advantage. If it was in terms of karma luck, then Zhao Qinghe might have been bigger. ”
"I instead thought that Zhen Liuqing was the woman who had the most karmic luck. He was from the Mistwater Pavilion who was proficient in divination, geomancy, and astrology, and he had an unparalleled advantage in terms of the grasp of celestial work. Moreover, I guess everyone knows that whenever the Imperial Family offers sacrifices to the gods and their ancestors, it will be chaired by the members of the Mistwater Pavilion. So, in terms of karmic luck, Zhen Liuqing should be number one! "
"Actually, Ling Yu was not bad either. He was fat and had a very blessed appearance … "
All the Eternal Earth Realm experts expressed their own views in succession, yet there was rarely any mention of Chen Xi. Bei Heng could not bear to see this and could not help but cough dryly as he said, "One cannot avoid his own relatives when talking about decent ones, he said, I feel that my sworn brother is not bad, he .. ”
"Omong empty! Why did I hear that he was a famous unlucky bearer in the southern region all those years ago? ”Bei Heng finished speaking, Huangfu Jingtian interrupted him with a voice that revealed a trace of disdain and ridicule.
Bei Heng's expression froze, and then he snorted coldly and did not speak any further. If he continued to argue, then he might have to bring out Chen Xi's entire pathetic past, and this was no different from publicly humiliating Chen Xi, so he would rather not argue about it with Huangfu Jingtian.
He did not argue, yet Huangfu Jingtian had no intention of letting it go just like that, and he started laughing before talking about Chen Xi's past to the Eternal Earth Realm experts around him. For example, the origin of the nicknames Deadpan Chen and jinx, the destruction of the Chen Clan, the incident of Chen Xi's marriage contract being torn apart, Chen Xi's parents' whereabouts are unknown, and so on and so forth.
The expressions of the others became strange when they heard this, and their gazes were even filled with strange expressions when they looked at Chen Xi and muttered in their hearts. This little fellow was truly a pity many years ago.
"Hmph! Chen Xi was able to achieve her current achievements after going through all kinds of difficulties, what about her who is worthy of being ridiculed by all of you? If it was all of you, would you be able to get out of all sorts of bad circumstances and obtain the achievements he had obtained now? "Martial Marquis Luo Hun who had always closed his eyes in silence suddenly snorted coldly and spoke indifferently.
All of the Worldly Immortal Realm experts were instantly stunned when they heard this, and they fell silent. Right, if I were Chen Xi, would I be able to achieve such a feat on the road to Dao in such a very difficult environment?
Only Huangfu Changtian's face sank, and then he fell silent as he did not bother to argue with the Martial Marquis. He wanted to see what order this curse token, Chen Xi, would get.
However, even the unexpected has happened in drawing the lottery that everyone is looking forward to.
Chen Xi had always been cultivating in concentration and had yet to wake up. If he was bullied now, then perhaps an accident might happen, so he temporarily could not draw much.
“It's okay, the four of you draw the token first and give it the last token. "The Civil Marquis frowned, and then he thought of the method and taught indifferently.
Everyone felt sorry for Chen Xi when they heard this. If it was in accordance with this method, then the probability that Chen Xi would be able to obtain the black-colored command token would undoubtedly fall to the lowest possibility.
“I have long said that this child is a very unfortunate curse. "Huangfu Jingtian couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, and a wisp of slightly mocking cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I'll go first. "His voice had not finished sounding when Qing Xiuyi had arrived before the Civil Marquis and had reached out his hand to grab towards the jade box.
These jade boxes were one meter long, with rays of lights flowing on its surface and talisman marks all over, and they formed a barrier of light capable of isolating all detections of the heavenly Sense, and they formed a barrier of light capable of isolating all detections, so no need to worry about the possibility of cheating.
Not too long ago, Qing Xiuyi had taken out a token, but it was white in color and written number 1 on it. Everyone could not help but feel a wave of pity when they saw this, but Qing Xiuyi did not mind in the slightest, and he put away the command token before standing still at the side with a completely calm expression.
Zhao Qinghe, Ling Yu, and Zhen Liuqing glanced at each other before turning their gazes.
Qing Xiuyi had withdrawn the number 1 token, so one among the three of them and Chen Xi were bound to battle Qing Xiuyi and compete for a place in the top three, he said, while the loser must withdraw and placed in the fourth or fifth .
"I'll go next. '' Zhao Qinghe took a deep breath before taking a step forward, and then her hand stretched out into the jade box and pulled out. The entire process was less than an instant, and he seemed to have handed it over to fate.
The result caused everyone present to be disappointed again as it was still the white command token that Zhao Qinghe had drawn. But, he was already satisfied since this command token was written with the number 3, and his opponent was not Qing Xiuyi.
The third drawing was Zhen Liuqing. As far as everyone knew, he could be said to be the most unfortunate since he drew the number 4 command token. At this point, his opponent was Qing Xiuyi.
Until now, only two command tokens remained. The number 2 command token that would cause his opponent to be Zhao Qinghe, and another black command token that would allow one to advance directly.
These two command tokens seemed to be relatively good, as one did not need to go to war with Qing Xiuyi and might even be able to advance directly. Moreover, the probability of getting both of them was 50%, causing it to be clearly very good.
Most importantly, Chen Xi was still cultivating at this moment, so Ling Yi only needed to draw one of the two command tokens, instead, and it would be enough to decide who would fight and who would advance directly.
Ling Yu immediately became the center of attention.
“I know that, this little fat looks very lucky, and karma luck is the best. ”
"Indeed . He had a 50% chance of obtaining the black command token, and this luck was in his hands, whereas Chen Xi could only accept the final result. ”
"But, if we think about it in another way, what if Ling Yu did not withdraw the black command token, then Chen Xi would be the biggest winner. '' At this moment, even all of the Worldly Immortal Realm experts turned their eyes away and wanted to see the final result.
This method of drawing a lot looked like a game of luck, but as far as cultivators like them were concerned, it involved the lucky power of one's karma, and they had no choice but to pay attention.
Really troublesome. Instead of just drawing a lot, why was everyone so nervous? I envy that fellow Chen Xi, he sat down motionless, yet has completed everything. Ling Yu pursed his lips as he muttered, and he very reluctantly moved his enormous ball-like figure that slowly arrived in front of the Civil Marquis before extending his hand towards the jade box.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were wide open, and their appearance seemed even more nervous than Ling Yu.
Under the focused gazes of the many people, Ling Yu's chubby hand left the jade box, and the command token was in his palm. When they saw the color clearly, everyone's expressions were immediately astonished.
It was actually the number 2 white token!
In other words, the last remaining command token in the jade box was a black command token that represented immediate progress, yet it would belong to Chen Xi!
An absurd feeling instantly surfaced in everyone's heart. This person, Chen Xi, sat there motionless and did not even know when the draw started and ended, yet he directly advanced to third?
This is too unbelievable!
Everyone present could not help but look towards Chen Xi who was sitting in the air and cultivating silently, and they felt envy and shock.
