Changing Duke Long's Luck
In the dream realm of Dragon Palace, Fang Yuan’s dragonman clone spars with Tai Qin using ant armies. Her very offensive sprint ants encircle his slow cannon ants, but he has foreseen the weakness and retreats around them. Tai Qin asks whether he has mastered Green Ant Ascetic’s ant thought killer move, and he nods. His armor ants are wiped out holding the front, but his arrow ants and cannon ants then obliterate her army. Tai Qin calls him really amazing, a faint blush on her face. ch. 1832
Three scenes have passed since Green Ant Ascetic’s recruitment ceremony, where the result had to be a draw for the dream realm exploration to succeed. The two ended in a draw, and Green Ant Ascetic took both as disciples. Since then Fang Yuan has gained many Gu worms, while Tai Qin, who has never won a spar, has gradually admitted her inferiority and grown some affection. Fang Yuan observes his clone’s luck and sees the purple dragon several times larger, while the black cloud around it has shrunk by thirty percent. ch. 1832
A huge blood red light then flies over from the west and floats above the purple dragon without merging with the black cloud luck. Within it are the vague figures of a golden phoenix and a divine dragon, with an incredible and threatening aura. Fang Yuan’s heart sinks. He deduces that it is over ten times the original’s size and should come from Central Continent’s Heavenly Court, which was not here at this point in his previous life. He wonders if his rebirth’s ink effect is the cause, but he has plans against his biggest enemy. ch. 1832
In Heavenly Court’s Central Great Hall, Fairy Zi Wei deduces the location of Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace after years of secret investigation. She tells Duke Long and Qin Ding Ling, and Duke Long takes responsibility for retrieving it as his karma, and Fairy Zi Wei is sure they will definitely succeed. She then learns that Myriad Year Flying Warship has appeared in the River of Time and Fang Yuan is acting again. Qin Ding Ling finds the timing too coincidental and reads Duke Long’s luck first. ch. 1832
Duke Long’s luck shows an old dragon about to sleep, a sign that his lifespan is ending, with blood red scales and a wrinkled head showing the symbol of failure. Qin Ding Ling’s luck inspection killer move is forced to stop, the backlash makes her cough blood, and her eyes bleed in temporary blindness. She says Duke Long is truly powerful and her killer move caught only a glimpse, as his dao marks go far past the rank eight peak and his dragon marking defensive killer moves activated early. She gives the result as not good: Duke Long will face an intense battle if he goes, and there is a chance of failure. Duke Long is curious what can make him fail, and Qin Ding Ling offers to amplify or change his luck with luck path methods, but she needs a few days. He decides to wait. ch. 1832
