Immortal Road.

Chapter 272 Son of Destiny
Aurora in the sea.

The three evil spirit brothers showed the way to their new master Lin Shan. After twists and turns along the way, they found their target in less than half an hour.

The white prism maze is difficult for human monks to distinguish, but for the evil spirits that have lived here for a long time, they have countless shortcuts to quickly reach anywhere.

At this time, in front, Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu were talking and laughing as they walked in the Aurora Sea.

One of them was holding a folding fan and waving it slowly, while the other was a scholar with great literary talent. The two seemed to be talking quite speculatively, and they even stopped talking about their Taoist names and started to call each other brothers.

I really don’t know what they have been through these days and why their relationship has heated up so quickly.

Lin Shan deliberately crouched down, standing ten steps away, hiding behind a series of mirrors. This was the maximum distance that spiritual sense could detect in the Aurora Sea, making it convenient for him to peek and track.

Logically speaking, since he knew that Young Master Jiuyou was planning something bad to him, the best option would be to strike first.

Although he had recruited three new subordinates, the opponent was a team of two, one was a genius in the immortal way from the Bailu Academy, and the other was a young master of the magic way from a top sect. Lin Shan was not sure of his victory.

Moreover, these three evil spirits are originally the bottom of the list in the Jindan stage. Although their racial talents are very suitable for saving lives, the evil spirits' bodies gather and disperse at will, and it is relatively difficult for others to hurt them, but those two are definitely not ordinary people.

Zhong Shenxiu is a genius in the immortal way. He comes from a famous family, has rich means, is well-read and knowledgeable. How could he not have the means to harm evil spirits?
There is no need to mention the young master of Jiuyou. The Jiuyou Sect's Netherworld Ghost Fire was cultivated by Protector Qiu, so it is impossible that this young master does not have it. Maybe his real fire is even better. Who can say for sure?

Lin Shan did not act rashly. He knew that he could not act rashly on his own before he had a clear understanding of the other party's background.

As for the three brothers of the Yang family's ancestor, he could only find a way to find them after he went in.

Now that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, it's a good opportunity to see what these two are planning.

The sound of two people's conversation was heard in the wind. Lin Shan couldn't help but move closer and eavesdrop on what they were saying.

"I have been traveling with Brother Wuyazi these days and discussing Taoism with him. I have benefited a lot from it. I have just realized that there are always people better than you. It is ridiculous that I always think I am the best in Bailu Academy, but I look down on all the heroes in the world!"

"Hey~ Brother Zhong, what are you talking about! How can ordinary people like us compare to the immortal genius? When it comes to the profound knowledge of Taoism, I am far inferior to him."

"No way. Brother Wuyazi is not only proficient in the Taoist lineage, but also has great attainments in physical training. He has unique insights into the outer space and stars, and even knows a lot about the Demonic Kingdom. It can be seen that he has a wide range of friends and has seen the world. I am willing to admit that he is inferior to him."

"Brother Zhong, you are joking. These little bits of interesting talk are just hearsay and are not worthy of being mentioned in a high-class forum. On the contrary, the legendary story of Brother Zhong once climbing up the ladder is very familiar to me and I have admired him for a long time."

"A good man never talks about his past achievements. They are all in the past. Why should we talk about them again?"

"That's different. A prodigy of the immortal way who has crossed the rank must have far more combat power than his peers. I will have to rely on you a lot on this trip."

"Brother Wuyazi, please don't flatter me. The higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to fight against higher-level enemies. Who among us hasn't come all this way with the aura of a genius? What's more, I broke through the Jindan stage and damaged my foundation. Now I have tuberculosis, which is a long-term disease that is difficult to cure. I'm afraid I won't live for many years~"

"Brother Zhong, you are a lucky person. Don't say such unlucky words. As the old saying goes, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make him suffer in his heart and work hard in his body."

……

There were also some tests between the two of them as they flattered each other.

Lin Shan could immediately tell from it that they didn't seem to completely trust each other, but after so many days of getting to know each other, they had become very familiar with each other.

Moreover, Zhong Shenxiu was also very powerful. He had managed to get so much information about the young master of Jiuyou. He could even vaguely detect his star power and identity as a demon. His sense of smell was too sharp!
To be able to become a genius in the immortal way, he is indeed no easy task. Not only does he have terrifying talent and strength, but the key is that his emotional intelligence and intelligence are also outstanding. He is truly a monster.

The young master of Jiuyou is not a simple person either. He is proficient in both the righteous and evil ways, and is very skilled and courageous. He dares to walk shoulder to shoulder with the genius of the immortal way, Zhong Shenxiu, which shows that he has the corresponding confidence and strength.

Moreover, he follows Zhong Shenxiu, so he might have other plans and has done his homework.

"I have heard that when Brother Zhong was young, he could walk because of a full moon, he started reading at the age of two, he read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of three, he passed the county examination at the age of four, and his name as a child prodigy was known throughout the county at the age of five. Is this true?"

Lin Shan was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that there really was such a child prodigy in the world, right in front of him.

Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and chuckled, "This is nothing. Anyone with a top-level talent in the immortal path will be wise and intelligent when they are born. I was born into a scholarly family, and my father also holds a position in the court. I received enlightenment education at an early age, so it is normal for me to have such achievements."

Young Master Jiuyou nodded, agreeing deeply.

"Brother Zhong has a good family background, so he laid a solid foundation when he was young, paving the way for his future Confucian practice. Sometimes it is like this, the more books you read, the more you will learn how to behave and treat others, and it is like having divine help, which is equivalent to saving the stage of tempering your mind in the secular world."

Zhong Shenxiu even said he dared not: "I also deeply admire Brother Wuyazi's Qi cultivation skills."

Young Master Jiuyou did not dwell on this aspect and talked about another item while walking.

"I also heard that when Brother Zhong was born, there was a silver laurel tree and strange phenomena. It is said that he has great luck. Wherever he goes, he picks up treasures. When he encounters difficulties, there are noble people to help him. When he encounters danger, he can turn it into safety. It is really enviable!"

Zhong Shenxiu still shook his head modestly: "Haha, it's just a rumor, don't take it seriously! I just happened to meet a great scholar when I was young, and fell off a cliff to pick up treasure when I was young. Later, I entered the academy and embarked on the immortal path. It was just that I found a solitary book hanging on the beam in the library, accidentally entered the ancestral hall and received an initiation, and the magic treasures in the treasure house recognized their owner by themselves."

Lin Shan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was shocked. Why did this experience seem strangely familiar?

Young Master Jiuyou was also envious: "Brother Dao, wherever you go, you are blessed with good fortunes. It is truly amazing! You have great luck, which is rare in the world of cultivation since ancient times!"

Zhong Shenxiu explained with a smile:

"Good fortune can sometimes backfire. Although I have been blessed with good fortune, I have also been attacked and killed by people out of jealousy. If it weren't for my strong methods, I might have died halfway."

The Young Master of Jiuyou praised repeatedly: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Luck is hard to explain, and it is reasonable that luck will backfire and you will encounter danger occasionally."

At this time, Zhong Shenxiu showed a trace of loneliness and looked very vicissitudes of life.

"This is nothing, I just have a little luck. Compared with the legendary son of luck, I am still far behind!"

"Child of Destiny?"

Young Master Jiuyou showed curiosity. Although he also came from a top sect, he didn't know much about this aspect.

"Please give me some advice!"

Zhong Shenxiu looked up to the sky and sighed, regretting that he could not be perfect.

"The son of destiny is said to inherit the surging destiny of the vast world. When he is born, he can shock the underworld, ghosts and gods watch, the stars in the universe shift, and the heavenly officials spy on the mortal world."

"These people are not very prominent at first. They are always rotten on the outside but golden on the inside. Outsiders cannot see their fortune until a certain point comes. Then they will be out of control. Things like falling off a cliff to pick up treasures are just basic operations."

“For others, opportunities may only appear at some point when they are destined to be with you.”

"But the son of destiny is different. No matter if he is destined to be with you or not, as long as he passes by, it is destined to be with you, and he will pick up treasures without limit!"

"This kind of monster is hard to find in this world. Although it sounds outrageous, it does exist in ancient books. It is not a lie."

"However, the Son of Luck is too involved and has a first-rate ability to cause trouble. If you don't have a good birth date, you may not only not be able to eat meat, but you will be filled with bad luck and take the blame for the Son of Luck, bringing about your own destruction!"

……

Zhong Shenxiu is indeed a talented person in Bailu Academy, and he told many secrets.

Young Master Jiuyou was so fascinated and shocked by what he heard, not to mention Lin Shan who was eavesdropping in the background.

Lin Shan was hiding behind a number of aurora prisms at this time, following the steps of the two and eavesdropping, and he suddenly realized something.

"I think my good brother Lin Fan from the same clan is the son of luck that Zhong Shenxiu mentioned." "Lin Fan's luck is so good that even the top sect Zixiao Sect can't grasp it. When the three demon sects attacked the mountain gate and almost destroyed it, it turned out that it was because of the backlash of luck."

"But the Son of Luck is so terrifying that everyone who follows him will be unlucky. Why am I fine? Instead, I was once in the Lin family in Qinghe County, and Lin Fan took the blame for me?"

He pondered here.

Young Master Jiuyou also raised questions at the right time:

"The Son of Luck is so terrifying, isn't he destined to live out his life in loneliness? Who else dares to be friends with him? Won't they be killed by the backlash sooner or later?"

Zhong Shenxiu had a bit of hesitation on his face at this time, and replied uncertainly:
"That's not necessarily the case. We can't generalize everything. After all, before the Son of Luck grows up, his realm is not high, and the degree of backlash has a limit."

"It is said that there are people who can withstand the backlash of the Son of Luck. The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. There are always some special people who are strong enough to withstand it."

"A strong horoscope?"

The young master of Jiuyou wondered, how strong must one’s birth horoscope be to be able to withstand the backlash of the son of destiny?

Zhong Shenxiu listed a few for him, but he was just guessing based on the records in ancient books and he himself was not very clear about it.

“For example, some powerful people have been reincarnated and have followers from their previous lives. They may be able to resist the Son of Luck a little when his realm is still low.”

“Or some top sects may have the support of the ancestors or the Taoist traditions from the upper realms, so they can barely suppress the luck of the sect and ensure that the inheritance is not lost.”

“Or maybe some of the unlucky ones are the reincarnations of certain stars, and their uniqueness is no less than that of the children of luck. Maybe they can help to offset the situation.”

"Even some extremely powerful ones, the reincarnations of famous stars in the heavens and myriad worlds, such as Yaoguang Beidou, Ziwei Emperor Star, Jiang'e Disaster Star, etc., may be able to fight back in the dark?"

"I don't know."

"Hey~ Anyway, people like this can't make any waves when their realm is low, and they would have ascended to the Immortal Realm to cause trouble when their realm is high. It's none of our business!"

……

As the two chatted there, all kinds of speculations came to their mind.

Anyway, no matter whether it was the Son of Destiny or some random reincarnation of a star, they had never seen it before and just treated it as a joke.

But Lin Shan, who was following behind, was in a state of confusion.

"I remember that the Immortal Book Master in the depths of the void seemed to have said in person that I was a disaster star. Could it be that I am really the reincarnation of a star?"

"No! I'm clearly a time traveler, how could I be the reincarnation of a star?"

"But if it's not the reincarnation of Xingchen, how can we explain it to Lin Fan?"

He was suspicious here and had all kinds of random thoughts.

The two people in front had been walking for a long time and finally walked out of the Aurora Sea.

It was obvious that these two had made relevant preparations before coming in. Even though they took many detours, they finally managed to get out.

They turned around and looked at the aurora sea that stretched from the sky to the earth behind them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

"Brother Zhong, now that we have entered the forbidden area, what are your plans?"

"I've looked at the map. Hongya Cave should be in the northwest. How about we go there directly?"

"Don't we need to search for the natural treasures around us? After all, the secrets were revealed in the previous prism, and we have seen many clips of them."

"It doesn't matter. I'll just follow my own steps. Some things will eventually come."

Zhong Shenxiu didn't say much, just smiled meaningfully.

Young Master Jiuyou suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, Brother Zhong is a man of great luck, I'm sure he will come across treasures on the way, there's no need to look for them deliberately!"

Zhong Shenxiu laughed loudly: "Opportunities also come with dangers. Brother Wuyazi, if you come with me, I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of troubles along the way!"

The young master of Jiuyou was also bold and unrestrained: "It's just a little danger, what's the big deal! Being able to travel with Brother Zhong is something I've been dreaming of. As long as you don't despise my low strength, I'm willing to be loyal to you!"

Zhong Shenxiu coughed twice, his face flushed, and he looked grateful:

"With the help of Brother Wuyazi, this trip will surely yield great rewards. Whoever sees the treasure will have a share, and I will never treat you unfairly!"

Young Master Jiuyou clasped his fists and then waved his hand: "Thank you for not abandoning me. I am willing to work together!"

……

The two walked further and further away, laughing and talking all the time.

After they walked away, a figure slowly walked out of the Aurora Sea, looked at their backs and thought for a moment.

"Master, the interior of the Forbidden Cliff is different from the Aurora Sea. We three brothers cannot show you the way. Are you sure you still want to follow those two?"

Three evil spirits emerged from the spirit beast bag, each of them looking at the unfamiliar environment around them with a little timidity. They have been swimming in the Aurora Sea all the time and never dared to go out. It would be a lie to say that they didn't feel guilty for suddenly leaving their hometown.

Lin Shan's face was calm, and he had a plan in mind.

"Follow, why not? Since Zhong Shenxiu has great luck, if I follow him, won't I also get to eat meat and drink soup? And the direction they are heading is Hongya Cave, which is the same as my goal, so it's just right for me to follow him."

"But Master, those two have left the Aurora Sea. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to hide from their divine sense and track them."

In the Aurora Sea, spiritual awareness is greatly limited. The three evil spirit brothers are familiar with the terrain and can provide Lin Shan with various hiding places. Now that they have come out, it will be extremely difficult to track them.

Lin Shan smiled slightly and didn't explain anything.

He took out the magic weapon, the Phantom Gold Lock, and mobilized his soul power to activate it.

I saw circles of golden light alternating all over his body, in a hazy state.
"Shh!"

His figure suddenly disappeared.

Only Lin Shan's confident voice could be heard in the air.

"With my powerful spiritual awareness at the Soul Pill Stage, plus my magic weapon of illusion, as long as they are not too close, I think it won't be a problem to keep them at a distance!"

The three evil spirit brothers praised in unison: "The Lord is so powerful, those two will definitely be cheated on this trip!"

"Huh~"

A light breeze blew by, leaving only the fallen leaves swirling around for a few seconds before settling down, and peace returned to the place.
