Almost all the disciples of the Jie Sect who are still serving in the Heavenly Court are

"My elder brother once asked a sage teacher to perform divination."

Yunxiao continued.

"After the teacher performed divination, he was unable to reach a conclusion, only saying that this egg had extremely heavy karmic consequences and was related to a great opportunity."

"That's why my elder brother never mentioned the Ancient Sea Eye to anyone, only saying that the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was a gift from our teacher."

Even the leader of the Tongtian Cult could not deduce its specific origin.

This alone is enough to illustrate the point.

Shi Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and was about to decline.

But Yunxiao interrupted him first.

"This egg has been nurtured by my elder brother for tens of thousands of years. Although it has the potential to hatch, it has never been able to come into being."

"Given my brother's current condition, there's no point in keeping it."

"I'll give it to you then. If you're fortunate enough to hatch it someday, that would be a wonderful coincidence."

She spoke casually.

"Consider it an extra bonus."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan was at a loss for words.

I have no choice but to accept it for now.

However, he also understood in his heart that the "add-on" that Yunxiao mentioned was obviously only relative.

Because the real big win is yet to come.

Just then, Yunxiao's aura suddenly changed.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, but an indescribable fluctuation slowly spread from her body. In the darkness, it seemed as if heaven and earth were responding.

A series of invisible and formless auras flowed around her.

Shi Yuan recognized what it was almost instantly.

The Qi and fortune of heaven and earth.

Moreover, it is an extremely vast amount of divine fortune.

His breath hitched.

This extraordinary fortune far surpasses even the fortune he previously received from the State of Lu, which pales in comparison, amounting to less than a tenth of it.

"Senior Sister Yunxiao, this is...?"

He looked up at the clouds, already having the answer in his heart.

Yunxiao's expression was calm, but his tone was unusually firm.

"This is the divine fortune that we disciples of the Jie Sect have accumulated in the Heavenly Court over the years."

"It's useless to leave it on us."

"Therefore, I will give them to you as well."

She looked at Shi Yuan, her tone gentle but leaving no room for refusal.

"Junior brother, this time, don't refuse again."

After Yunxiao finished speaking, Shiyuan did not respond immediately.

He knew very well that Yunxiao's earlier statement, "It's useless for luck to stay with us," was not entirely true.

Being listed on the Investiture of the Gods does indeed mean that one can no longer cultivate, that much is true. But the reason is not because they have already perished.

In fact, for the disciples of the sage, reshaping the physical body has never been a difficult task.

The real problem lies in the true spirit.

Their true spirit is incomplete.

A significant portion of them were firmly bound and constrained by the Investiture of the Gods, unable to return to their own nature. On the surface, they appeared no different from ordinary people, but in reality, they had already lost the qualification to truly communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Without a complete true spirit, one cannot comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

Without the ability to comprehend, there is no way to cultivate oneself.

Even so, luck is by no means worthless to them.

Because the essence of luck is never simply a "cultivation aid," but a universal resource at the level of heaven and earth. As long as there is enough of it, it can be exchanged for almost anything.

Even if it can't be used to break through realms, it's still the most top-tier asset for refining spiritual treasures, alchemy, and stabilizing one's divine position.

But now, Yunxiao, Jinling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming and others have unhesitatingly handed over all the divine fortune they had accumulated in the Heavenly Court over the past hundreds of years to him.

This kind of trust is beyond what the word "weight" can describe.

So even Shi Yuan couldn't help but remain silent at this moment.

After a long while, he looked up at the sky again, his tone more solemn than ever before.

"Senior Sister Yunxiao."

"This good fortune is indeed of great use to me."

He made no false statements, nor did he refuse.

"But I can assure you of one thing."

His gaze was extremely steady.

"One day in the future, you will surely be able to break free from the shackles of the Investiture of the Gods and regain your freedom."

This is a promise.

Moreover, it was a promise that Shi Yuan would rarely make easily.

Even though it was their first meeting, and even though he had not yet truly met most of the disciples of the Jie Sect in the Heavenly Court, he had already genuinely felt their unwavering trust and entrustment.

To an outsider, this might seem like empty talk.

But Shi Yuan himself knew very well...

This is not just a vague and unrealistic consolation.

What about the "Investiture of the Gods," a treasure of immense power?

That was indeed a method at the level of a saint, but what he possessed was the fundamental element at the level of chaos... the Chaos Pearl.

As long as the Shiyuan Realm continues to improve, and as long as the origin of the world is strong enough, he may not be unable to find a way to directly "rescue" these bound true spirits from the level of the rules of heaven and earth.

This road is difficult.

But it's not that it's impossible.

Yunxiao didn't really believe it.

Even the Sages were helpless in dealing with the matter of escaping the Investiture of the Gods, so how could she really believe that a junior brother who had just entered the Golden Immortal realm could do it?

But she could still clearly sense that Shi Yuan was not being perfunctory at all when he said those words.

It was a kind of almost resolute seriousness.

So she simply smiled gently, neither exposing nor refuting the claim.

"Then thank you in advance, junior brother."

Her tone was soft, but it was sincere.

Shi Yuan could naturally tell that Yun Xiao didn't really take the matter seriously, but he didn't explain.

Some things, no matter how much you say, are not as powerful as actually doing them in the future.

Then, Yunxiao no longer hesitated and directly transferred all of his enormous divine fortune to Shiyuan.

Shi Yuan's use of Qi Luck was clearly extremely skillful; he quickly and steadily accepted it without causing any leakage.

After doing all this, the atmosphere between the two of them became much more relaxed.

For the rest of the time, they did not continue to discuss plans and schemes, but instead chatted idly.

From the changes in the Three Realms in recent years, to the undercurrents within the Heavenly Court, and then to the glorious past of the Jie Sect.

Although it was their first meeting, they unexpectedly hit it off.

In particular, Shi Yuan had many long-standing doubts resolved by Yun Xiao, a quasi-saint powerhouse, which gave him more confidence in his upcoming plans.

Yunxiao only got up to say goodbye when it was almost time to part.

"Junior brother, now that this matter is settled, it's time for me to return to Heaven."

"Senior sister, please wait a moment."

Just as she turned around, Shi Yuan suddenly spoke up and called her back.

Yunxiao turned around, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Shi Yuan smiled.

"Since you senior sisters gave me a gift, it would be too impolite of me not to reciprocate."

"I happen to have some things I just acquired as well."

"Please, senior sister... take this back to Heaven for me."

......

The Heavenly Court, the Kan Palace of the Star Realm.

This is the residence of Doumu Yuanjun, and also a place where all the evil stars gather.

Normally, Kan Palace is quiet and deserted, and it may not see more than a few visitors in decades.

But today, things are completely different.

The vast Kan Palace was almost completely full.

There are the four demon generals who once guarded the four directions, now the four heavenly kings of the Heavenly Court.

There are the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, who were famous in the past, and now the Four Marshals of Heaven.

There is a former quasi-saint of heaven and earth, who is now the Xuantan God of Wealth who holds the power of wealth.

There are also two fairies from the Three Immortal Islands, who are now immortal maidens who receive continuous incense offerings and respond to the world's needs.

Wen Zhong, the Ten Heavenly Lords, and others were also prominently featured.

It can be said that almost all the disciples of the Jie Sect who are still serving in the Heavenly Court are gathered here at this moment.

The celestial wine and spiritual fruits had already been laid out, but no one had touched them.

Everyone's expression was filled with barely concealed tension and anticipation.

Until the Golden Spirit Mother, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes and spoke softly.

"They're here."

Almost simultaneously, everyone turned their heads to look at the gate of Kan Palace.

A beam of light descended, revealing a familiar figure.

It was the sky.
