Chapter 170: The Essence of the Heavenly Devil
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Just as Lu Yuan had speculated, the so-called Heavenly Devil Palace was actually a loose organization.
The reason why they were able to gather together was that the Heavenly Devil Palace possessed a unique inheritance… Heavenly Devil Possession.
The so-called Heavenly Devil was actually a general term for a special life form.
In essence, these Heavenly Devils were the marks of experts left behind from ancient times.
For some unknown reason, apart from retaining their original power, these marks had completely lost their will.
Whether or not one could inherit a Heavenly Devil’s Origin Mark was a sign of whether one was qualified to join the Heavenly Devil Palace.
It was not easy to achieve this.
This was because, in a sense, the Heavenly Devil was a power that was outside of the way of the heavens.
For a person without great luck, it was impossible to nurture them.
It was also because nurturing Heavenly Devils required absorbing all kinds of luck.
This caused the Heavenly Devils to do many crazy things.
After all, luck was no longer a completely illusory thing after reaching a certain level of strength.
Experts above the Apotheosis Stage could faintly sense the existence of luck.
However, they could only sense it in people that do not have high luck.
The more luck a person has, the harder it was for outsiders to sense them.
However, the Heavenly Devils had already figured out a way to harvest luck over the past thousands of years.
Basically, every time something big happened, many people with luck would appear.
Without exception, these people with luck were all outstanding people of the same level.
Therefore, as long as they kept an eye on those evildoers of the same level or those that took the initiative to cause some big trouble, harvesting luck was no longer something that could be traced.
However, this meant that the Heavenly Devils were destined to offend countless sects and holy lands.
After all, most of these evildoers would not fight alone.
Even those who appeared to be lone wolves often had hidden protectors behind them.
Thus, once the Heavenly Devil killed these evildoers, they still had to guard against the pursuit of the protectors.
However, those who could become Heavenly Devils were also evildoers. Therefore, as long as the follow-up matters were handled well, they might not be in too much danger.
And because the Heavenly Devil itself was a person with luck, this led to an interesting phenomenon.
That was, in the process of hunting, it was possible for the Heavenly Devils to encounter their own.
Once that happened, it would depend on the abilities of both parties.
This was also why the lantern monster said that it was not uncommon for the Heavenly Devils to kill each other in the Heavenly Devil Palace.
Apart from the special relationship between the Heavenly Devils, Lu Yuan also learned something that interested him.
One was information about the Heavenly Devil’s possession.
The situation of a Heavenly Demon possessing a body was not constant.
For example, someone chose to possess a Heavenly Devil at the beginning.
However, when he realized that he was not very compatible with the Heavenly Devil, or when he felt that he could carry a better Heavenly Devil, He could go to the Heavenly Devil Cave in the Heavenly Devil Palace and try to possess a new Heavenly Devil.
There were even cases where there were multiple Heavenly Devils possessed on a person.
However, for a cultivator to withstand multiple Heavenly Devils is not as simple as a having large amount of luck value.
This was because once one’s luck value was insufficient, these Heavenly Devils might abandon the cultivator.
In addition, with every Heavenly Devil’s Possession, one’s own luck value had to be consumed.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, it was best not to use the Heavenly Devil’s Possession technique.
This was the essence of the Heavenly Devil’s Possession.
Another piece of information that Lu Yuan was interested in was that there were also various transactions in the Heavenly Devil Palace.
However, the items required for these transactions were not physical objects.
It was either intelligence, divine ability cultivation techniques, or hiring someone to kill, etc.
In this regard, Lu Yuan felt that the so-called Heavenly Devil Palace was actually an existence similar to the dark web in the human realm.
Everyone’s identity here was confidential.
All the transactions were done in secret.
All the transactions in the Heavenly Devil Palace were either bartering or using luck value as the currency.
That’s right, luck value.
To the Heavenly Devils, they could not materialize spiritual stones in the Heavenly Devil Palace, and they also did not have much need for spiritual stones.
On the contrary, Heavenly Devils were very lacking in luck value.
Lu Yuan looked at his 40,000 luck value.
He suddenly felt like he was a rich man with a huge sum of money.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took out his Heavenly Devil Token.
On this Heavenly Devil Token, he could look up all the items that were currently being sold in the Heavenly Devil Palace.
After browsing for a moment, Lu Yuan quickly found what he wanted.
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Guard Tortoiseshell (Core Formation, Nascent Soul)
[Price: 100 luck value]
As the first cultivation technique that Lu Yuan had cultivated, he had trouble finding the other volumes of the Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique.
Never did he expect that he would actually find it in a place like the Heavenly Devil Palace.
Although Lu Yuan was interested in many other things besides the Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique, he still had to save his luck value to break through to the Core Formation Stage.
Therefore, after weighing his pros and cons, Lu Yuan felt that it was better for him to use the luck value cautiously.
After all, he was not sure how much luck value he would have after refining the golden core creation pill.
And whether the luck value met the requirements of completing the Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
In theory, he only needed to reach 50,000 luck value.
Coupled with the characteristic of the Destined Lucky Star’s temporary luck doubling.
He could make his luck value reach more than 100,000.
With so much luck value, it should be able to help him increase the success rate of the Core Formation through the way of the heavens infinitely close to 100%.
And just reaching the Core Formation through the way of the heavens was already so troublesome.
Lu Yuan found it hard to imagine how troublesome it would be for the Nascent Soul and Apotheosis Stage cultivation.
Fortunately, things like luck depended on the grade of the heavens in the current world.
Once he left the lower realm and went to the upper realm, the luck value he obtained should be much higher.
However, Lu Yuan did not want to go to the Upper Realm before he reached the Nascent Soul stage or the fifth stage of Core Formation cultivation.
After all, just because a Nascent Soul cultivator could do whatever they wanted in the lower realm did not mean that they could do the same in the upper realm.
It was better to be safe than sorry. It was best to develop properly when possible.
After using the Heavenly Devil Token to contact the seller, Lu Yuan took out a portion of his luck value and completed the transaction with the other party.
After confirming that there was nothing he needed in the Heavenly Devil Palace for the time being, Lu Yuan decisively.
After leaving the Heavenly Devil Palace, Lu Yuan let his clone stay in the same place for a while. After confirming that this clone was not contaminated with anything strange, he let him return to his side..
