Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1096 - 532: The New Seven-Colored Life Chart: Ten Thousand Lives Reincarnation (2)

At age five, a band of cultivators abruptly arrived in his village.

The mere shockwaves from their fight eradicated every soul in the village.

A mere five-year-old boy naturally couldn't flee and met a tragic end slain by those cultivators.

In his third reincarnation, he was born as offspring of a horse servant, tending steeds for aristocratic clans. Regrettably, without a spirit root, he perished during a raid by enemy kin.

In the fourth life, luck at last favored him, letting him be born into a Qi Cultivation lineage. Sadly, he held only a low-grade spirit root, yet he could finally set foot on the cultivation road.

Regrettably, his inferior talent allowed him just to reach the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation before a tribulation cultivator struck him down.

Over the next roughly forty lives, his backgrounds constantly shifted.

At times, misfortune struck early, claiming him before maturity.

Other times, good fortune smiled, placing him in mighty clans with superb aptitude.

His peak feat was attaining perfection in Divinity Transformation.

Yet, bound by the constraints of heaven and earth, breakthrough to Refining Void eluded him.

Thus, he cycled through lives until this fiftieth one.

Freshly roused with past-life recollections, Chu Qiudao brimmed with joy, realizing the world had transformed, spiritual energy was surging back, and the Divinity Transformation ceiling had vanished.

This offered him a shot at higher realms in this life.

Still, his position here was lowly, just a direct scion of the minor Chu family.

Worse yet, the Chu family had crossed a scion of the True Spirit Sima clan.

In truth, it wasn't a true slight.

The Sima heir simply coveted a Chu family treasure.

To seal all lips, they dispatched lackeys to slaughter the whole Chu clan.

Thankfully, Chu Qiudao had recalled prior lives briefly and detected peril.

So he escaped ahead of time.

Alas, the other Chu members lacked such fortune and got utterly wiped out.

Furthermore, to eliminate any remnants, they deployed a Foundation Establishment expert.

Plainly, they aimed for total eradication.

Such brutality defined the Sima family cultivators' ruthless ways.

"Damn Sima family."

"Despicable True Spirit clan."

"These True Spirit clans plague the Northern Continent."

Teeth clenched, Chu Qiudao seethed with rage.

After forty-nine prior reincarnations, he knew the Sima family well.

The nine Great True Spirit clans dominated the entire Northern Continent.

These included the Ouyang, Yuchi, Gongsun, Shangguan, Dongfang, Sima, Murong, Tuoba, and Taishi houses, to name a few.

Lofty and supreme, the nine Great True Spirit clans governed the nine domains of the Northern Continent.

Myriad Divinity Transformation cultivators had arisen from these True Spirit clans.

Every power had to submit to them.

Defiers saw their nine generations exterminated without mercy.

Their might stemmed from ancestors of these nine Great True Spirit clans securing True Spirit cadavers long ago.

From those remains, they claimed True Spirit bloodlines.

Hence, all True Spirit clan members bore potent bloodlines.

Common mortals needed fortune for a spirit root.

True Spirit clan offspring came with spirit roots innate.

Upon successful cultivation, their battle power dwarfed peers by tenfold.

Faced with that, how could regular cultivators rival these True Spirit houses?

To them, Northern Continent denizens were but chattel.

All cultivation treasures fell to their grasp.

Previously, Chu Qiudao had challenged these True Spirit clans in his pursuit of progress.

He inflicted heavy blows upon them.

Yet he misjudged their profound reserves.

Mounds of life source stones filled these True Spirit clans.

Across eons, Divinity Transformation perfection experts were preserved in stasis.

They slumbered for the coming spiritual energy resurgence.

In dire straits, certain Divinity Transformation forebears shattered their seals.

Inevitably, he was crushed and slain by those Divinity Transformation ancestors' onslaught.

Still, once unsealed, those forebears couldn't return to dormancy.

In time, lifespan exhaustion claimed them.

That counted as payback.

"Heavens shift now, spiritual energy revives anew."

"Slumbering Divinity Transformation ancestors may stir gradually."

"Certain forebears could even ascend to Refining Void."

"Sadly, this will render these True Spirit clans far more dreadful."

Helplessness gripped Chu Qiudao.

Alone, his strength couldn't contest the nine Great True Spirit clans.

No matter his prowess, dozens of equals would overwhelm him.

Encirclement spelled doom.

Currently, he shunned direct fights with Sima clan foes.

He understood their fierce vendettas all too well.

Killing one triggered waves of Sima reprisals.

Relentless hunts would ensue.

Memories freshly awakened, his cultivation lingered at Qi Refining.

Confronting the Sima now meant certain doom.

Fleeing far was the wisest move.

Yet their vigilance was extreme, dispatching a Foundation Establishment.

Obviously, they sought his utter demise.

Boom~~

Suddenly, multiple silhouettes materialized before Chu Qiudao, radiating Foundation Establishment might.

At their fore strode a youth clad in opulent robes.

This was Sima Bei, the butcher behind the Chu clan's doom.

Arrogance etched his features as he scorned all below.

"Intriguing, a trivial Qi Refining cultivator fled this distance."

"My caution alone stopped your escape."

"What strange art did you deploy before, utterly unknown?"

Sima Bei narrowed his eyes, fixing on Chu Qiudao.

He keenly felt this Chu survivor hid vast mysteries.

How else could a petty clan thwart him?

Yet this promised gain.

Should the boy carry valuables, riches awaited.

"Spare words; your look says you won't confess."

"We'll rip secrets from your soul directly."

"May your hidden truths prove worthwhile."

Cold menace flashed in Sima Bei's gaze; no need to prattle with minor clan trash.

To him, such commonplace cultivators were disposable fodder.

"Damn."

Chu Qiudao's visage darkened gravely.

He'd always recognized the merciless savagery of True Spirit clan cultivators.

They offered zero quarter now.

Evidently, even with scant memory recall, another cycle loomed soon.

Similar plights had befallen him before, leaving him ready for mishaps.

His fortunes per life rarely shone bright.

Calamities struck readily, yielding untimely ends.

Likely, this stemmed from wielding such a gift.

Gains ever balance with costs.

Still, fear stirred not in his core.

Merely one more life—scarcely a loss.

Shwoosh!

Then, a new form emerged overhead in Chu Qiudao's skies.

Jiang Fan was the arrival.

From on high, he swiftly scanned every cultivator there.

"Hmm?!"

Instantly, Jiang Fan detected Chu Qiudao's presence and the singular Life Chart inside.

Seven-Colored Life Chart—Ten Thousand Lives Reincarnation.

This Life Chart preserves the soul eternally, granting infinite rebirths.

Reincarnating endlessly.

Through myriad lives, destiny manifests.

"Truly the Seven-Colored Life Chart; fate guided me here for reason."

"Losing such peerless genius here would be a grave pity."

Spotting the Seven-Colored Life Chart clarified why destiny drew Jiang Fan hither.

A peerless rarity, the Seven-Colored Life Chart bestowed supreme fortune.

Barring final death, Immortal King ascension beckoned.

Its scarcity needed no emphasis.

Not even all mortal realms might yield one such Life Chart.

Though the Void Realm's uniqueness made a Seven-Colored Life Chart plausible.
