Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect Chapter 134: Prophetic Orrery

The Ancestor of the Yun Family was currently at a loss.

Yun Miaozhen, in whom he had placed such high hopes, had died unexpectedly, and her killer had already broken through to Foundation Establishnt. This had once plunged the Ancestor of the Yun Family into deep despair.

So when the Sect Leader of the Sword Pavilion gave him the mission, he was pleasantly surprised.

’If I can crack this Simulation Realm, I’ll definitely accumulate a massive amount of rit. My chances of returning to Foundation Establishnt in this life will increase dramatically...’

’I’ll risk it!’

In life, you have to take your chances!

The Ancestor of the Yun Family was decisive and imdiately accepted the mission.

In his mind, as a reincarnated Foundation-Stage Cultivator in the Simulation Realm, protected by the Prophetic Orrery bestowed by the Sect Leader, victory was practically guaranteed.

However, imagination was a beautiful thing; reality was a bit more cruel.

’What is this?’

The Ancestor of the Yun Family, having just successfully reincarnated, stared at the Qi-Eating Insect Species inside his body. He was stunned for a mont, then a look of sheer terror spread across his face.

At this thought, he hastily took out the Prophetic Orrery.

’This isn’t right, I have to get back!’

This reincarnation had gone wrong. Soone was actually monitoring the Simulation Realm! This kind of direct surveillance bypassed karma links and was impossible to hide from!

Perhaps because he was in such a panic, the Ancestor of the Yun Family’s hand, which was gripping the Prophetic Orrery, was trembling violently.

His speed in activating the artifact was excruciatingly slow. Fortunately, just then, another vast and seemingly benevolent wave of Magical Power surged over, helping the Ancestor activate the Prophetic Orrery.

The Ancestor of the Yun Family was overjoyed at this and subconsciously said, "Thank you..."

"You’re welco."

The newcor smiled faintly, smoothly taking the Prophetic Orrery from the Ancestor of the Yun Family’s hand and examining it. "It really is a fine treasure."

The Ancestor of the Yun Family didn’t answer. His expression froze solid, like a small insect trapped in amber, with only an overwhelming wave of terror lingering in the depths of his eyes.

—and confusion.

’A dignified Perfected Person, camping out in a Secret Realm, even setting up an entire system to monitor the whole realm, just to co and grab the instant I reincarnated...’

’Sect Leader, it’s not that I didn’t try. This Secret Realm has a goddamn cheater!’

WHOOSH!

The next second, the Myriad-Soul Banner swallowed the Ancestor of the Yun Family whole. A reincarnated Foundation-Stage Cultivator, and one from the Sword Pavilion at that, was of great use.

But for now, his attention was focused on the Prophetic Orrery.

Clearly, in order to deceive the Perfected Lords of the Stain Sect, the Sect Leader of the Sword Pavilion had cleaned this Artifact very thoroughly, leaving absolutely no backdoors.

If any backdoors had been left, the resulting karmic links would have made it impossible to hide from the Perfected Lords of the Stain Sect.

The only way was to place all the karma links onto the Ancestor of the Yun Family. A reincarnator at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishnt was like an ant to a Perfected Lord, not enough to stir the Sense of a Golden Core Perfected Lord.

Lü Yang made a quick calculation with his fingers and imdiately understood the artifact’s origins.

"The Prophetic Orrery, ford from the Fire Yang Essence. It hangs beautiful in the sky, illuminating the six harmonies, just as the fire of the Sun rises from the east. Wherever it passes, all principles beco clear."

This was a Superior Sentient Artifact!

One had to understand that even among Spiritual Treasures, the differences were enormous, primarily manifesting in their Spiritual nature, Material, and Divine Skill.

An ordinary Artifact, even if it developed a Spiritual nature and gained its own consciousness, was rely a Lower Grade Sentient Artifact.

To beco a Middle Grade Sentient Artifact, the Material had to be exceptional. It had to be crafted from at least worldly Rare Treasures and then ticulously refined, otherwise it would be impossible to create.

The requirents for a Superior Sentient Artifact were even more demanding—it had to possess a Divine Skill.

This so-called Divine Skill was, in fact, the result of a Spiritual Treasure being influenced by a Fruit and imbued with the Qi of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, thereby gaining a kind of Innate Ability.

Therefore, to a Foundation-Stage Cultivator, a Superior Sentient Artifact was almost equivalent to gaining an extra Innate Ability! When used in Combat, the increase in strength was more than just several-fold. If the artifact’s own Divine Skill happened to resonate with one’s own Innate Ability, the combination would produce endless miraculous effects.

And the Prophetic Orrery was just such a Superior Sentient Artifact!

"With Yangyuan Wood as its material and Six Harmonies Fire as its core, its Spiritual nature rged with Major Fire of the Ten Heavenly Stems, manifesting its Divine Skill, thus becoming the Prophetic Orrery..."

As Lü Yang poured his Magical Power into it, the Prophetic Orrery’s reaction grew stronger and stronger.

CLANG! CLANG!

With a sound of ringing tal, the Prophetic Orrery hovered above Lü Yang’s palm, radiating a brilliant light, as dazzling and intense as a blazing midday Sun.

As a Celestial Secret Treasure, the Prophetic Orrery’s ability to conceal karma links was so profound that even a Golden Core Perfected Lord would find them difficult to detect.

Beyond that, it also possessed the ability to disrupt the space.

Lü Yang had experienced this once before when he fought the Ancestor of the Yun Family. It completely inverted and scrambled all directions: up and down, left and right, front and back.

However, while this ability could be considered a dinsion-reduction strike against Qi Refiners, it was useless against Foundation-Stage Cultivators.

At best, it was just a small gimmick added during its Refining, specifically for the reincarnated Ancestor of the Yun Family to use. It was not the Prophetic Orrery’s true Divine Skill.

Its true Divine Skill was nad All Clear.

As its na implied, this treasure was ford by inheriting the qi of Major Fire. Its light illuminated the six harmonies and possessed the ability to analyze all things, making the principles of any place it shone upon beco clear.

Thus, by simply shining the Prophetic Orrery upon the Great Net of Karma Links, all sorts of karmic links would instantly beco clear and distinct. Manipulating them would naturally beco twice as effective with half the effort, with few errors.

Therefore, for a Foundation-Stage Cultivator, this Artifact offered a qualitative leap in their ability to interfere with and manipulate karma links.

"Its Mythical Light pierces through all, making Heaven and Earth All Clear..."

Likewise, this Divine Skill could also be used in Combat. By shining its Mythical Light on an opponent, one could grasp all of their Magical Power fluctuations and Qi trace movents.

The next second, Lü Yang projected his Divine Sense deep into the Artifact.

Imdiately after, the sun-like wheel ford by the Prophetic Orrery suddenly collapsed, landing right in the center of Lü Yang’s brow. At a glance, it looked just like a Celestial Eye!

And under the illumination of the Celestial Eye, Lü Yang felt his mind beco perfectly clear.

After thirty years of arduous cultivation, facing the Soul and Dao Foundation that were all too familiar yet had always refused to rge, Lü Yang now had a new understanding.

"I understand now... So that’s how it is!"

In an instant, a look of realization dawned in Lü Yang’s eyes. He seed to have finally grasped that spark of inspiration. In the blink of an eye, his Soul and Dao Foundation began to fuse.

His thirty years of hard cultivation had not been for naught. In fact, Lü Yang had long possessed the foundation needed for Condensing Innate Ability; he had only ever been missing that final spark of inspiration. The appearance of the Prophetic Orrery was the final push, the last piece of the puzzle, making the process of condensing his Innate Ability a natural success!

"This is the kind of talent I was ant to have!"

Lü Yang laughed heartily. At the sa ti, a golden auspicious cloud materialized above his head. It pulsed, inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Qi, shaking the mortal realm. With every passing mont, it was as if bolts of thunder were flashing within it.

And in the deepest part of the auspicious cloud, a figure of light and shadow was taking shape.

From a distance, it looked as if it were gestating and giving birth to sothing.

As for Lü Yang’s consciousness, it had dissolved into the auspicious cloud. It was as if his soul had flown Beyond the Heavens—muddled and dazed, yet still possessing a clear sense of self, like being in a dream.

In a daze, he thought he saw sothing.

In the Far West, in an indescribable and boundless land that was as illusory as a mirage, a speck of golden light was resonating with him.

’Is that... the Fruit of Rampart Earth?’

Before Lü Yang could co to his senses, the entire vision vanished in an instant. The speck of golden light dimd abruptly, as if it had been dragged back by a giant hand.

anwhile, in the East, at the Celestial Wu Daoist Court.

Within a palace that towered into the clouds, so magnificent and resplendent it resembled the dwelling of Immortal Gods, a young man wearing a Crown erged from his Quiet Chamber.

The young man gazed into the distance, his brow furrowed slightly.

’The Fruit of Rampart Earth is no longer hidden; it has reappeared in the mortal world... In that case, the remnants of the Zouyu are likely to stir. Is the great calamity truly upon us?’
