Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5996 Surprise

Violet blood runes rippled out from Long Chen, blanketing the entire lake. It was as if violet flames were burning through the air, transforming the lake into a giant pill furnace—with Long Chen as the pill.

As violet flames continuously spread, they quickly reached the drunk elder and enveloped him.

The drunkard rolled over lazily and muttered, “Those little brats are trying to bait me into teaching him? Hmph, keep dreaming.”

He took another swig of wine and drifted back to sleep. The violet flames occasionally pushed him across the ground, but he couldn’t even be bothered to walk a few steps away. He just let the flames roll him around.

Long Chen had no idea this elder was even nearby. He had fully opened his mind and spirit, purging all distractions and allowing his heart to become like a clear mirror. He started to resonate with the lake.

Long Chen didn’t know the origin of this lake, but his intuition told him that it was extraordinary. Once he formed a resonance with the lake, he planned to summon the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree to help him comprehend the Infinity-One Technique.

But the instant that resonance started, his mind went blank. A wave of weariness crashed into him, and he directly fell asleep.

As he slumbered, the violet runes continued to burn and spread in every direction. Soon, the entire mountain range was engulfed. From the main peak, the flames surged outward like a prairie fire.

At the heart of these flames were two sleeping figures—one old, one young. Neither of them paid any attention to the spreading violet flames.

Time ticked by. Eventually, even the clouds ignited. When they did, violet motes of light started to rain down.

The violet light rain nourished the seventy-two divine peaks, affecting the entire violet blood race.

“The divine peak blessing! Quick, gather all the disciples to absorb the karmic luck! Move!” an elder roared.

As he rushed off, he dragged even secluded disciples out of their cultivation chambers.

The four mountain lords quickly realized what was happening. This divine peak blessing was something they had intended to trigger only after their disciples had reached the Human Emperor realm. Why was it starting now?

“We have to take a look!”

The four of them soon arrived at the lake. When they saw Long Chen sleeping amidst the flames, their faces turned green with fury.

Especially, when they saw the old drunkard snoozing soundly with his wine gourd in hand. Qingyu nearly slapped him on the spot.

“Old Ancestor, can you not be so useless?!”

Even the good-tempered mountain lord Yunshan couldn’t hold back and scolded him harshly.

The old drunkard was roused from his slumber, struggling to open his eyes. When he saw the flames covering the area, he jumped in shock. Then he noticed the mountain lords glaring at him, and he instantly sobered up.

“Old ancestor, why did you activate the divine peak blessing in advance?” Mountain lord Shuangfeng almost wept.

No one was prepared for this. In this state, this blessing would mostly be wasted, and Sovereign Mountain could not afford it.

Mountain lord Qingyu bit her lip hard, holding back tears. Depending on such an unreliable ancestor was a mistake.

“Uh…”

Eight furious eyes locked onto the drunkard. Feeling a bit guilty, he shamelessly muttered, “Perhaps this is fate!”

“What fate?! This is your failure! The blessing has started, do something!” Mountain lord Qingyu shouted, finally tearing up.

This blunder would affect the future of the violet blood race. If the violet blood race stumbled and fell because of this, all of them would become sinners of their race, and not even a thousand deaths would be enough to atone for it.

“How am I supposed to stop it? This kind of blessing can’t be stopped once it starts,” the drunkard said innocently. “If you try to forcibly halt it, you’ll waste even more karmic luck. Don’t look at me like that! Now that things have reached this point, you have to adapt. It’s that kid’s fault anyway. Why are you blaming me?”

The old ancestor threw all the blame on the slumbering Long Chen, who was still in a deep slumber. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

“You really are shameless!” Mountain lord Qingyu was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

“Mountain Lord Qingyu, don’t get angry. What’s done is done,” said mountain lord Yunshan. “Let’s focus on damage control. We should activate the seventy-two divine peak grand formation to lock in the karmic luck as long as possible. That way, the disciples can absorb more of it.”

This was the only thing they could do. There was no point in blaming the old ancestor—they had to act fast.

“Wait! The karmic luck energy… it’s starting to flow back!” exclaimed mountain lord Shuangfeng.

All of them were startled. They could feel it—an invisible force was slowly drawing the karmic luck back toward the main peak.

The karmic luck was actually circulating instead of dispersing. This completely baffled the four mountain lords. As for the drunkard, he was still half-drunk and didn’t understand what was happening.

“Look below Long Chen!” mountain lord Yunshan exclaimed, pointing at the lake.

A colossal “One” character had formed beneath Long Chen, splitting the lake in two. Its power was pulling the karmic luck into an endless cycle around Sovereign Mountain.

“Could it be…” Mountain lord Qingyu gasped, covering her mouth. Then she shouted, “Spread the Infinity-One Technique to all disciples—immediately!”

“Yes!”

The three mountain lords instantly realized what she meant, and they vanished.

It seemed that the divine peaks were borrowing Long Chen’s power and the Infinity-One Technique to spread karmic luck energy to the disciples of the violet blood race.

This karmic luck didn’t scatter or dissipate. It cycled endlessly. This was an incredible opportunity, allowing disciples to simultaneously absorb karmic luck and comprehend the Infinity-One Technique. The two benefits reinforced each other.

No one could have predicted that what seemed like a disaster would turn into such a blessing.

Originally, they had planned to wait until their disciples reached the Human Emperor realm to activate the blessing, minimizing karmic waste. But now, with none of it being lost, receiving the blessing earlier was even better. It was as if their ancestral spirits were watching over them.

Seeing that he was no longer the focus, the drunkard quietly slipped away. As for whether he went off to drink alone or reflect on his actions, no one knew.

After recovering from the shock, mountain lord Qingyu stood watch by Long Chen’s side, not daring to leave.

“Long Chen, are you really the violet blood race’s son of fate?” murmured mountain lord Qingyu.

Watching Long Chen’s slumbering figure, remembering everything that had happened since he arrived, mountain lord Qingyu clenched her fists. It felt like everything had been guided by the invisible hand of destiny.
