Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 880 The Fifth Verse of Heavenly Secrets
After another incense stick's worth of time, the three of them stopped. What was in front of them wasn't the wall of the hall, but a Dao-patterned barrier.
The barrier looked very transparent, and the ripples outside carried powerful Dao rhythm rules. With ordinary methods, this kind of Dao pattern rule couldn't be broken. He wondered if his Kunwu Sword could open this place; the Kunwu Sword was one of the Ten Ancient Divine Swords.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will couldn't penetrate the ripple Dao rhythm barrier to see what was inside.
"This is the Heavenly Secret Luck Barrier. The Dao patterns outside are a top-tier Chaos Luck Grand Array. It's said that no one can set up this kind of array because it must be formed with Chaos Heavenly Secrets. Inside this Heavenly Secret Luck Barrier is the luck that has been extracted from this realm," Yu Zhenna said, pointing to the protective barrier crisscrossed with Dao pattern rules.
"Then how do we open this luck barrier?" Mo Wuji was a little uncertain. With his array Dao level, he couldn't even tell that this was a grand array.
Yu Zhenna said indifferently, "We'll talk about it after the Heavenly Secret Staff arrives."
Mo Wuji was very helpless. He knew that if he didn't have one of the Four Heavenly Secret Principles, he might have said the same thing.
"Then how do we absorb the luck?" Mo Wuji asked, still unwilling to give up.
Yu Zhenna gave Mo Wuji a contemptuous look. "Haven't you heard of luck being added to the body? The rules of luck far exceed the rules of space and time. Some even say that there are no rules. You've heard of various rules of divine abilities, but have you heard of luck divine abilities? Inside this Heavenly Secret Luck Barrier, apart from the luck that has been stripped from this realm, there is no vitality. As long as we enter, luck will automatically be added to our bodies. As for who gets more and who gets less, that depends on individual fate."
Mo Wuji was certain that it wasn't just about fate. This luck was likely to be based on cultivation level or the cultivator's own rules. If he really wanted this luck, the luck added to him would probably be the least.
He cultivated the Mortal Dao. Luck was something invisible and intangible, so how much luck could be added to him? If it was based on his own rules, it would be about the strength of his cultivation. At most, his cultivation was only slightly higher than Lei Hongji.
"Then once we enter, won't this luck scatter again?" Mo Wuji asked in alarm. He desperately hoped that Yu Zhenna would tell him how to make the luck here scatter. According to this woman's words, as long as he let the luck here scatter, it would automatically return to the Immortal Realm, and no one could strip it away again.
This time, Yu Zhenna said very seriously, "That's why we need to cooperate fully. After the Four Heavenly Secret Principles are gathered, the locations of the Four Heavenly Secret Principles will generate an instantaneous suction force. This suction force is originally a suction force to strip away luck. After this suction force sucks us in, it will directly close the grand array. After the luck inside is added to our bodies, this grand array will be destroyed. So what I want to say is that when the suction force is generated, everyone must not resist. Otherwise, even a single breath will cause most of the luck inside to dissipate."
Mo Wuji was overjoyed. Yu Zhenna's words revealed two important pieces of information. First, to open this protective array and enter it to have luck added to your body, you must place the Four Heavenly Secret Principles in four locations. Second, luck is very easy to dissipate. If you are a little slow, it may create a gap in the luck barrier, and a lot of luck will dissipate. If he was much slower, it was likely that all the luck would return to the Immortal Realm.
Mo Wuji carefully observed, but no matter how he observed with his spiritual will, he couldn't see any locations on this Heavenly Secret Luck Barrier where the Four Heavenly Secret Principles could be placed.
Mo Wuji deliberately moved forward a bit and focused his spiritual eyes.
Sure enough, this time Mo Wuji clearly saw four, no, it should be five indentation locations. Four of the five indentations were about the same size. Two of them were about the same size as the Sect Leader token in his hand, which should be the Heavenly Secret Yin-Yang Principle.
There were also two, one that looked similar to the Heavenly Secret Sword, and one that looked like the indentation of his Heavenly Secret Staff. But the sizes were only within the range of his palm. Mo Wuji didn't know how his Heavenly Secret Staff would fit inside.
Besides these four indentations, there was also a larger indentation that looked like a square brick.
Mo Wuji's spiritual eyes only opened and closed for a moment. After seeing these five indentations, he knew that Yu Zhenna's words weren't true. He remembered Su Rou'er's words back then: after the Heavenly Secret Tablet shattered, it was divided into five things, one of which was the Heavenly Secret Stone Tablet.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, all three of us have the Heavenly Secret Principle. What about you? Don't say you're following someone in, because I don't believe that kind of lying," Mo Wuji said lightly.
Yu Zhenna stared at Mo Wuji and said, "I can't believe you actually have spiritual eyes."
Hearing these words, Mo Wuji was really a little embarrassed. He thought that his spiritual eyes had only opened and closed for an instant, but he didn't expect this woman to know about it. Perhaps this woman was mocking him for deceiving himself.
"I can indeed see that there are five indentations here," Mo Wuji didn't continue to hide. It didn't matter if she knew. He wasn't afraid of anything.
Yu Zhenna took out a square brick and said, "You're right. Heavenly Secret isn't four principles, it's five principles. I concealed some things. I don't have any malice. Everyone knows that I will have to take out the fifth principle."
Mo Wuji slowly retreated. "I'm not cooperating with you. You're too scheming. I don't want to be tricked by you and still count money for you."
"Wait..." Seeing Mo Wuji about to leave, Yu Zhenna was really anxious.
Mo Wuji didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. He even summoned the Half-Moon Heavy Halberd, while still guarding against Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng.
After hearing Mo Wuji's words, Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng were already wary of Yu Zhenna. They never thought of joining forces to deal with Mo Wuji here.
Seeing this, Yu Zhenna quickly said, "I admit I was a little careful. Do you think you've been completely honest with me? Fellow Daoist Mo, you saw us before, and then secretly hid outside for several days without coming in. Weren't you making preparations to guard against us? I was originally a part of everyone. Cooperation is beneficial to everyone. What good would it do me to trick you?"
Mo Wuji stopped, still saying vigilantly, "If that's the case, show me your five principles to see if there's a problem."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Yu Zhenna's voice suddenly turned cold. "Give you my five principles? You're really thinking too highly of yourself."
Mo Wuji took out his Heavenly Secret Yang Principle and said, "Just in case, I'll put my Heavenly Secret Yang Principle in your hand. If you're still not willing, then it can only mean that you have a problem."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Yu Zhenna frowned. She looked at Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng, who were wary of her, hesitated, and had no choice but to say, "Okay, but you have to return it immediately after you look at it."
Mo Wuji didn't say another word and directly grabbed his Heavenly Secret Yang Principle and placed it on the ground.
Yu Zhenna could only put the square brick in her hand on the ground. As soon as her square brick was placed on the ground, Mo Wuji waved his hand, and the square brick was blocked by her domain in the air. At the same time, Mo Wuji's Yang Principle token was snatched away.
As expected, seeing Yu Zhenna's actions, both Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng, who had grudges against Mo Wuji, summoned their magical treasures.
Yu Zhenna originally waited for Mo Wuji's Yang Principle token to be blocked, then she would find an excuse to say that Mo Wuji wanted to use this method to trick her into giving up her Heavenly Secret Principle, and then refuse to hand over the Heavenly Secret Principle. She didn't expect Mo Wuji to not even extend his domain. She just used her spiritual will to roll it up slightly and the token came.
Things had reached this point. If she still wanted to keep her Heavenly Secret Principle, then the problem would be big. Thinking of this, she could only release her Heavenly Secret Principle. At the same time, she was ready to take action at any time. As long as Mo Wuji dared to retreat, she would not hesitate to take action.
As soon as Mo Wuji grabbed this square brick, he saw two words on it: Heavenly Secret. He knew very well that this Heavenly Secret square brick was the most valuable of the five principles.
Even if he wanted to have luck added to his body, the value of this square brick was far stronger than the Yang Principle he had thrown out.
"You've seen the thing, now return it to me." Yu Zhenna had already blocked Mo Wuji's path to retreat.
Seeing that Yu Zhenna had really handed the square brick to Mo Wuji, Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng didn't say anything. It seemed that Yu Zhenna was going to cooperate with them.
Mo Wuji didn't retreat at all. Instead, he stepped forward and came to the edge of the largest Heavenly Secret indentation and said, "I want to try it out to see if this is fake."
"Idiot, if one of the four principles is missing, it won't work even if you try," Yu Zhenna cursed.
Mo Wuji said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Yu Zhenna, do you think I don't know that this is the land of luck, don't know that there are five indentations here? I focused my spiritual eyes just to confirm it. Also, I want to say that the reason I was able to get this Yang Principle is because I have my own opportunities. And I also know that there is something that can replace the Heavenly Secret Staff Principle."
"What thing?" This time, almost all three of them asked at the same time.
"Everyone stand in their positions. I'll arrange things in the Heavenly Secret location. At most a day, at least three hours, I can let the power of luck suck everyone in," Mo Wuji began to talk nonsense.
Yu Zhenna said coldly, "Return my Heavenly Secret Principle to me, and then tell me your method."
Mo Wuji laughed loudly and said disdainfully, "What, you can't deceive us, so you're going to use force?"
"My strength is the highest, so naturally I'll do this kind of thing." Yu Zhenna strongly resisted her anger. Mo Wuji's words were inconsistent, and she was a little suspicious. Before, Mo Wuji didn't know anything, but now he actually said that he knew how to open this Heavenly Secret Luck Barrier.
Mo Wuji still babbled, "Idiot, who told you that opening this place requires cultivation level? This requires the combination of array Dao, Yi Dao, and Persuasion Dao. How many of them do you understand?"
Yu Zhenna frowned immediately. She was also proficient in array Dao and Yi Dao. What was Persuasion Dao?
(That's all for today's update, good night friends!)
