Chapter 224: The Belonging of Light (Seeking Monthly Pass)
After Lin Su, accompanied by Yan Susen and Lu Ziye, had forged a temporary alliance with the Phoenix Flame Empire, other powers began to arrive at the venue.
And these forces were similarly not weak.
As various powers entered one after another, the atmosphere in the area grew increasingly tense.
Everyone was on guard against their competitors while intently watching the center of the pond in the middle of the venue.
Under everyone's gaze, the clear and ordinary pond water began to undergo new changes.
Streams of golden light slowly converged toward the very center of the pond, eventually rendering a one or two-meter radius at the heart of the pond into pure gold.
At that moment, everyone's hearts involuntarily fluttered with excitement.
This wasn't an excitement related to strength or cultivation level; it was a mysterious force from the unknown.
That was the power of Luck.
"The Light of Destiny is about to gather," Qi Yu said with an increasingly solemn expression, speaking in a low voice.
Lin Su and his two companions exchanged a look and then made their battle preparations.
"Meow~ (。òωó。)" (Let me do it~)
Qiuqiu nuzzled Lin Su's head, its face showing a bit of eagerness to try.
Lin Su nodded slightly and quickly synchronized with Qiuqiu using Guardian Beast Co-operation.
The shimmering light-blue glow caught the attention of many onlookers.
Before this, many people had not seen Lin Su merging as one with his pet beast; now, they could confirm it for themselves.
Feeling Lin Su's aura climbing steadily after the light bloomed, matching that of the ninth layer of the Nayuan Realm, everyone had their own thoughts and strategies.
However, they soon turned their attention back to the pond.
The Light of Destiny was about to emerge, and at this time, any other matter had to take a backseat.
Lin Su ignored the curious and envious gazes of the Beast Tamers from the Phoenix Flame Empire around him; his eyes were filled with a spreading chill as he quickly focused on the central position of the pond.
Using Frost Eyes of the fourth stage, he finally managed to make out the exact location of the flickering light that caused everyone's hearts to thrill.
Threads of golden light were quietly converging within the water, forming strands of the Light of Destiny that undulated slowly, almost as if alive.
One strand, two strands...
Inside a membrane formed by a layer of golden light, more and more strands of the Light of Destiny were being born.
Most of the people on-site couldn't see clearly what was happening inside, but with the aid of Frost Eyes, Lin Su had a full view.
Soon, precisely ten strands of the Light of Destiny took shape inside the membrane.
Lin Su's eyebrows rose slightly.
He noticed that the golden light inside the membrane didn't seem to be dissipating.
After forming ten strands of the Light of Destiny, there was still residual light.
Looking at the amount of golden light left, it wasn't enough to form a completely new strand of the Light of Destiny, but there was about half as much as one strand.
What was this situation?
Lin Su couldn't help but continue to observe.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.
Were those ten strands of the Light of Destiny fighting each other?!
In his field of vision, the ten strands of the Light of Destiny were indeed colliding with each other as if they were in a fight.
They were rolling over each other, trying to repel their counterparts and reach the remaining golden radiance in the air.
In the end, one strand of the Light of Destiny emerged from the others, gaining a slight advantage in this struggle among the Lights of Destiny and claiming victory.
It rushed into the remaining golden light in a flash, quickly devouring the rest of the Luck Power.
After the devouring process, this particular strand of the Light of Destiny did not appear mightier than the others; to the naked eye, it looked virtually identical.
This...
Lin Su's pupils suddenly contracted.
He stared intently at that one strand of the Light of Destiny that had additionally devoured a significant amount of Luck Power, then suddenly said, "Are all ten strands of the Light of Destiny the same?"
"They should be, right?" Lu Ziye spoke with some uncertainty, "According to the records, the ten Lights of Destiny appear indistinguishable."
"No, not all ten strands of the Light of Destiny are the same," Qi Yue said with a smirk.
As a Disciple of the Hunyuan Taoist Sect, she naturally knew more secrets.
"Among these ten strands of the Light of Destiny, one possesses greater Luck Power than the others. It will disguise itself to look almost identical to the other nine. Whomever obtains that strand will gain more than the rest," she explained.
Lin Su nodded slightly, his gaze firmly locked on that stronger strand of the Light of Destiny.
Qi Yue's explanation perfectly matched what he had just witnessed.
And so, he had his target.
He thought to himself that no one else should compete for that strongest strand of the Light of Destiny!
"Sister Qi's experience and knowledge are indeed vast," Lu Ziye scratched his head and chuckled, taking the opportunity to sneak a glance at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue glanced meaningfully at Lu Ziye and then turned her attention back to the center of the pond, "The Light of Destiny is about to emerge!"
As Qi Yue finished speaking.
A more intense sensation of heart-fluttering urgency rapidly spread through the crowd.
In the pond, where dazzling golden light painted the surface, strands of the Light of Destiny soared into the sky, escaping from the pond and flying in all directions.
Thus, chaos erupted!
The crowd, having been ready to spring into action, moved uniformly toward the Lights of Destiny up in the sky.
Lin Su's figure shot out swiftly, unleashing his utmost speed in an instant.
He ignored the other nine strands of the Light of Destiny, focusing solely on that one stronger light.
However, upon seeing the direction in which that strand of the Light of Destiny was fleeing, Lin Su's expression changed ever so slightly.
That light, coincidentally or not, was heading towards the direction of the empire directly under the Hunyuan Taoist Sect!
Damn it!
Seeing the leaders of the Tianyuan Empire and Longquan Empire turn their gazes towards him, their faces shifting from astonishment to delight, Lin Su grunted and took the initiative to strike.
