Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 367: The Fortune Stone

The night passed without a word.

The following day, Tang San gathered his companions in his room.

Cheng Zicheng, Wu Bingji, Gu Li, and Du Bai all looked radiant, especially Cheng Zicheng, whose beautiful eyes sparkled with irrepressible joy.

Tang San smiled and said, "Sister Zicheng, it looks like you've had quite a fruitful experience!"

Cheng Zicheng replied, "Yes! I never expected sharpness to feel like this; the experience was truly amazing. Tang San, I don’t really want to visit any other palaces. Can I just keep going to the Sword Saint Palace? I feel that it suits me best."

Tang San nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed that yesterday. Different palaces are suitable for different bloodline abilities. And if I'm not mistaken, the stronger the bloodline, the more benefits you can get. Sister Zicheng, the Sword Saint Palace seems particularly suitable for you. You must also visit the Undying Demon Emperor's Palace in the future. The Golden Roc is a powerful bird demon, but the Phoenix is the king of birds. You'll surely gain some insights at the palace of a Phoenix Demon Emperor. So you should focus on the Sword Saint Palace and the Undying Palace. Before we join the team battle, just visit these two palaces."

After finishing, he looked at Wu Bingji and said, "Senior Brother, the sharpness of the Sword Saint Palace will be very beneficial for your ice-based attacks. You can start training there with Sister Cheng. Also, there is another palace you must visit: the Endless Palace of the Universe-Flooding Endless Nymph Emperor. Water and ice share the same origin, and since your bloodline comes from a nymph, you should gain significant insights there."

"What about me?" Gu Li hurriedly asked.

Tang San pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Gu, there really isn't a palace that fits your time attribute—it's too special. If I were to suggest, in this case, you should go to the strongest one. The Crystal Demon Emperor is said to be omnipotent, and since omnipotence should include time as well. Plus, the oppressive force of the Crystal Palace will surpass all others. It’s the most suitable even if you just want to refine your spiritual power there. So I suggest you go only to the Crystal Palace."

Du Bai said with a grin, "So, I'm just going to the Celestial Fox Palace then?"

Tang San nodded. "Exactly. I'll accompany you to the Celestial Fox Palace to avoid any issues. Remember, even if you have deeper insights, do not go up more than fifty percent of the steps. I'm concerned that you might not control it and expose your bloodline."

"Okay, I'll follow your lead!" Du Bai nodded repeatedly.

Wu Bingji said, "So, do we go our separate ways starting today?"

Tang San said, "Let the carriage take us to each location. Eldest brother, you and sister Cheng head to the Sword Saint Palace and stay there for the next two days. After that, you can move to the other two palaces. I'll accompany brother Du Bai directly to the Celestial Fox Palace. Brother Gu, you go to the Crystal Palace. We'll move separately."

"Okay!"

Wu Bingji then distributed some money to everyone, saying with a hint of pain, "Ever since we arrived at the Ancestral Court, we've really been spending money like water!"

Tang San smiled and said, "But we aren’t wasting it, are we? Don’t worry; my master still has plenty of money. The amount we've spent now is just a drop in a bucket."

The five of them ate breakfast together and then set off again, this time splitting up.

Wu Bingji and Cheng Zicheng were the first to be dropped off as they returned to the Sword Saint Palace. With their experience from yesterday, they knew the way well, and Tang San had nothing to worry about.

Next, they stopped at the Crystal Palace, located in the core area of the Ancestral Court, just like the Celestial Fox Palace.

These two Demon Emperors ranked first and third in the Ancestral Court, so their palaces were naturally situated in the most central area.

Before Gu Li exited the carriage, Tang San repeatedly cautioned him not to be reckless. The Crystal Palace, being the first palace, was the most formidable, and he needed to be especially careful.

Gu Li naturally agreed, setting off with excitement and nervousness.

The last stop for the carriage was finally the Celestial Fox Palace.

Before getting out of the carriage, Du Bai clutched Tang San's sleeve and asked, "Little Tang, do you think I'll be discovered? The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor is a master of fate. Do you think he might sense my arrival and capture me straight away?"

Tang San patted his shoulder and reassured him, "You don't need to worry about that. To someone of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's caliber, you're nothing more than an ant. Even if he does sense something different about you, he won't care. Trust me, he's not that bored. He has to oversee the entire Ancestral Court. But even so, don't randomly reveal your Celestial Fox Transformation, and don't climb more than half the steps. The chances of being discovered are very slim if you do that. Plus, I'm right here with you. Let's go."

As he spoke, he pulled Du Bai out of the carriage.

The moment they got out, both of them felt a slight tremor. Tang San suppressed it right away; Du Bai's, however, kept shuddering... almost trembling, even.

The peak in front of them was significantly taller than the Sword Saint Palace, rising over five hundred meters. The mountain was entirely white, though it was unclear what material it was made from. A subtle, invisible aura spread quietly through the air around it, carrying with it a hint of allure and an indescribable, mysterious sensation that lingered in the atmosphere.

Tang San's expression turned solemn as he sensed the force of destiny, a dense power of fortune. Looking back at the distance, everything around seemed to diminish in significance.

Tang San held onto Du Bai, not letting him move forward, and they stood still, silently taking in the atmosphere.

Tang San’s expression then transitioned from curiosity to awe as he gazed at the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain before them.

He realized what material the white mountain was made of.

Destiny.

Yes, this was destiny. It was not some kind of special earth or even rare ore; it was the condensation of fortune. If this material had a name, it would have to be Fortune Stone.

How could such a thing exist?

Even with Tang San's experience through three lifetimes and once being a God King, he had never seen such a phenomenon!

What kind of being was the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor? A true master of fate who could channel the power of fortune into substance! Indeed, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperors' lineage must have consolidated the entire Falan Planet's fortune here, presiding over the Ancestral Court, blessing both demon and nymph clans!

No wonder that on Falan Planet, only the demons and nymphs were so powerful, to the extent that they could even rival the divine realms.

It turned out that they had concentrated the entire planet's fortune here, blessing both the demon and nymph clans. Given such circumstances, with the energy-rich Falan Planet as the source of spiritual fortune, how could the demons and nymphs not be powerful?

Indeed, the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain before them could be considered the true heart of the demon and nymph clans. Tang San even speculated that the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor might be able to communicate directly with the will of the planar ruler. Without the aid and consent of the planar ruler, how could it be possible to concentrate a planet's fortune to such an extent?

Even Tang San couldn't help but feel a deep respect for the lineage of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor.

It was incredibly powerful! It could only be described as miraculous.

No wonder other races couldn't rise or threaten the dominance of the demons and nymphs. Without the blessing of fortune, they naturally couldn't manage.

Tang San even wondered if the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor might be in fact the planar ruler.

Planar rulers could exist in various forms; some might only possess instinct without concrete thoughts, while others could cultivate their own consciousness. If the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was indeed the planar ruler, and it was personally bestowing blessings on the demons and nymphs and fostering their growth to drive the evolution of the plane, a lot of things would make sense.
