Chapter 2391
During this trip, Chen Xuan acquired a vast amount of chaotic treasures through life-or-death duels and strategic maneuvers. Before leaving, he tossed out tens of thousands of chaotic crystals, packing up all the unique delicacies of Wujiang City.
He hadn't had time to fully enjoy the banquet at Lou Wai Lou earlier, so this was a good opportunity to gather with his friends, satisfy their appetites, and discuss strategies for the big battle.
At the Yanlong Realm branch of Wujiang City, Chen Xuan led the Beiming Immortal Mansion to a slow descent, finally stopping atop a towering mountain.
A flash of spiritual light appeared in the celestial abode, and his figure disappeared inside the gate.
Within the inner world of the Northern Underworld Immortal Abode, the backyard of the Golden Summit of Tangwu Mountain is shrouded in mist, with babbling springs and stone tables and benches scattered about, exuding a serene and ethereal atmosphere.
Those holy sons and daughters who still have a second primordial spirit are still frantically practicing the super god-demon fusion formation in the branch secret realm. As the formation patterns flow, the rumbling sound faintly reverberates; while those without a second primordial spirit have all gathered here.
Yu'er, Piaoxue, Bai Qianhuan, and others, as commanders under Chen Xuan, were also fortunate enough to be present. However, they were humble and stood quietly by his side, taking on the task of serving dishes and pouring wine.
Carved long tables were laid out, displaying celestial wines, spiritual fruits, and delicacies from the Boundless City. Each item shimmered with a lustrous spiritual light, and its aroma, carrying a subtle Daoist charm, was deeply refreshing.
Yu'er, Piaoxue, Zixia, Chenxi and the others' eyes lit up - these packaged delicacies, in terms of appearance and Daoist charm, far surpassed the dishes on the eighth floor of Louwailou, and were clearly the top immortal treasures of Wujiang City.
Chen Xuan sat in the main seat, with Lu Xueqi on his left and Qiu Zixian on his right. Qing Tianyu'er and Piao Xue followed closely behind. The other disciples from various sects were seated according to seniority, in an orderly manner.
"The success in obtaining such a vast amount of chaotic treasures is entirely due to everyone's concerted efforts." Chen Xuan rose, picked up a carved jade cup, the immortal wine inside clear and shimmering with golden light, and said, "I toast to everyone!"
Everyone stood up, picked up their jade cups, and without much formality, drank them all in one gulp.
As the celestial wine entered their throats, a warm sensation, imbued with Daoist principles, flowed through their limbs and bones. The group immediately relaxed and began to feast on the delicacies laid out on the table.
As Chen Xuan sipped the immortal wine, he opened the purple-gold book, tapping the pages lightly with his fingertips and scanning the words on it.
Upon seeing several key entries, his brows furrowed suddenly, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes—just as June had said, they contained the core secrets of the battlefield.
"Xueqi, take a look." Chen Xuan quickly memorized the contents of the book and handed the purple-gold book to Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi took the book and read it carefully page by page. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and her expression suddenly turned serious.
The booklet was passed around until everyone present had finished reading it. The noise in the backyard completely dissipated, and a heavy atmosphere quietly spread, even the spiritual energy in the air seemed to stagnate.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Xuan slowly spoke, his tone grave: "It seems that the chaotic laws of the battlefield are beyond our control. No wonder this law will only be issued on the eve of battle—knowing it in advance would likely disrupt morale."
"Indeed, I never imagined that the Void Realm where the battle took place would be a place where the laws of two realms intertwine, rendering the binding force of the Heavenly Dao Oath negligible!" Tianyi put down his jade cup, shook his head in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
"Moreover, half of the battlefield is controlled by our cultivator universe, while the other half is dominated by the strange universe. Only now do I understand why the powerful beings on both sides tacitly allow the younger generation to compete for destiny."
Xia Jiuyou's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Chen Xuan and slowly revealed her conjecture: "The outcome of the so-called battle of destiny is probably a matter of the will of Heaven—whichever side wins, Heaven will favor that side."
Upon hearing this, many people looked puzzled and began to whisper among themselves.
Chen Xuan had already communicated with the small tower through his divine sense and grasped the key point. He immediately nodded, took over the conversation, and explained it to everyone in the simplest terms:
“Jiuyou is right. Simply put, every time we win a battle of destiny, the will of Heaven will flood our camp like a tide. Although this blessing is invisible and intangible, it can be fully manifested during the duel between top experts and the joint formation practice.”
He paused briefly, then condensed a pale golden aura at his fingertips, transforming it into a phantom array pattern:
"For example, if we win key battles one after another, the fortune will turn entirely in our favor. At that time, when we practice the super god-demon combination formation in the void, the true essence of heaven and earth that we can absorb will gather like the ocean, and the power of the combination formation will be multiplied."
"Conversely, if the luck is declining, even if the formation is practiced to perfection, the true essence of heaven and earth that can be gathered will be greatly reduced, and the combined combat power can only be exerted at most 70% or 80% - this is the key influence of the blessing of luck."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they paused slightly.
Previously, they had practiced their combined formations in their respective realms without ever considering the factor of fortune. Now, upon hearing that fortune could directly weaken or amplify overall combat power, they were all shocked – this meant that the outcome of the battle of fortune was no longer just a matter of “competing for opportunities”, but rather concerned the very foundation of the entire war of civilizations.
"The blessing of fortune can actually have such an effect..." Fusheng and Xuanye exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity in each other's eyes. "If the Immortal Ancient Land or the Supreme Holy Land were to secretly sabotage us and cut off our fortune, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"The 'Laws of War' clearly state that when the laws of the Void intertwine, both sides' Heavenly Daos will fully support their respective armies." Chen Xuan tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his gaze sharp.
"Those with strong fortune will receive more help from the Heavenly Dao; those with weak fortune will only be suppressed by the laws. Next, we must not only improve our formation techniques, but also seize the initiative in terms of fortune on the battlefield—otherwise, we will be at a disadvantage before the battle even begins."
