Moreover, under the observation of the divine eye, the fortune possessed by this sphere itself was constantly increasing. Consequently, the fortune of its master, Lin Yang, was also increasing.
"Hmm, my luck has reached the purest level, and it even contains a considerable amount of purple energy. However, my destiny is only at the fourth level. It can be said that, under the premise of ensuring safety, my luck has reached its limit."
"If you add any more, there will be two results. One result is that it will all be useless, a complete waste, and will not serve any purpose. The other result is that you will be excited and unable to control yourself, feeling good, and then falling into a calamity from which you cannot extricate yourself."
"In fact, the reason I'm in such a predicament this time is because my luck has been too strong lately, far exceeding my destiny. This is what they call having good fortune but no destiny!" Lin Yang said with a grim expression.
Think of Huang Chao, what a hero he was! After repeatedly failing the imperial examinations, he wrote: "When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither. The fragrance will fill Chang'an, and the whole city will be adorned with golden armor." Such words, so clearly defiant.
Later, he joined the rebel army and led his chariots to conquer the once invincible Tang Dynasty. He then seized Chang'an and the Guanzhong Plain. From a commoner to an emperor bearing the hopes of the world, his rise was undeniably heroic and remarkable.
But what was the result? After becoming emperor, a series of problems arose, and then nothing more. He suffered a crushing defeat and died a gruesome death.
Could it be that this person lacked immense fortune? Did he lack boundless destiny? But in the end, he was merely fortunate but without life, dying and his clan being wiped out.
Similarly, there was Li Zicheng, who used armed force to demand unpaid wages. Before becoming emperor, he was truly resilient, able to overcome any adversity and advance even further.
But what happened after he became emperor? Alas, let's not dwell on his fate. In short, it was just another tragedy.
"Unfortunately, my merits at this time are not enough. Otherwise, directly using merits to change one's fate would be the safest and most reliable method. The second option is to use the 'Kalpa Sutra' to seize the fate of a fifth-level expert, but the difficulty of this matter is simply too great."
"Secondly, I could directly consume a large amount of luck and use the 'Collapse of Fortune Scripture' to directly change my fate and upgrade it to the fifth rank. Thirdly, I could use various methods circulating outside to alter my fate," Lin Yang thought.
Then he shook his head. At this moment, Lin Yang lacked sufficient merit and luck. He also didn't know where he could find a recently deceased or soon-to-be-death fifth-tier expert. He could only take it one step at a time for now.
Holding the sphere, Lin Yang took one step at a time, keeping his eyes wide open and constantly using his divine eye to observe the surrounding situation.
"Looking around, even with the enhancement of my divine eyes, I can only see an area of a few miles in radius." Lin Yang thought to himself, "Since arriving in this world, I've never encountered anything like this before. It just goes to show, Chaos truly lives up to its name; it's inherently superior to everything. Even the thinnest Chaos Qi is not to be underestimated."
This place is clearly a grotto-heaven. Moreover, it is a broken grotto-heaven. And the Gate of Hell on the Yangtze River is one of its entrances.
However, for some reason, the entrance was in complete chaos. It was as if it had been smashed to pieces. The surrounding space was entirely shattered. This was why Lin Yang was able to arrive here directly after using the Great Teleportation Talisman.
Before he knew it, an hour had passed. As his movement range expanded, Lin Yang gradually discovered many interesting things.
What came into view was a white blade of light, quite beautiful, flashing intermittently. Especially in this hazy, gray world, it was even more stunning.
However, Lin Yang wasn't an idiot. Anyone who could remain in the chaotic energy for so long was probably either a fifth or sixth-tier being. At the very least, they should be a very special fourth-tier being. Regardless of the situation, Lin Yang couldn't afford to offend them.
However, observing from a distance should still be possible. That's what Lin Yang thought, and that's what he did.
A wisp of spiritual energy then left his body. Since the surrounding chaotic energy had been completely absorbed, there was no danger.
This blade of light was gleaming and not very large, about a foot square. It was the smallest blade of light that Lin Yang had specifically sought out among many. Moreover, under his divine eye, it posed the least danger.
"We haven't gotten close yet, we're still a foot away, but there's a sense of resilience and destruction permeating the air."
"Even though we were still about a meter away, I felt a chill that went straight to my heart. Even I, in the distance, started shivering all over. This is truly, truly incredible. What kind of powerful being could have left this mark!"
"We're only a foot away now. My mind is already intimidated. I have a gut feeling that this thing is far too dangerous. Dangerous, extremely dangerous. Should I get a little closer to observe it?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang took out a series of magical treasures, some to protect his body and some to protect his mind. And he used them all.
Then, driven by curiosity (and a reckless spirit), he sent that wisp of spiritual energy over.
ah!

Chapter 55: Summoning the Sacred Mountain, the Overlord's Legacy
At this moment, Lin Yang's face was deathly pale. He then quietly closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. His heavy breathing betrayed his immense pain.
That wisp of spiritual energy that had been spreading out had been completely destroyed. Moreover, the unparalleled sword energy directly attacked Lin Yang's brain through the connection of spiritual energy. If Lin Yang hadn't reacted quickly and sacrificed a lot of spiritual energy, he might have already been annihilated, both body and soul!
"So powerful, so incredibly powerful! These sword energies have existed for countless years. And this particular one is the weakest among all the sword energies. Yet, even so, it almost destroyed my sea of consciousness," Lin Yang said in disbelief. At the same time, he felt a mix of lingering fear and relief.
In any case, I managed to survive. It seems I definitely can't be so curious (and courting death) next time.
However, Lin Yang immediately frowned. Such powerful sword energy was not something everyone could possess. The sword energy was filled with a sense of destruction and dominance.
As for further information, sorry, Lin Yang's cultivation level is too low; he can't discover anything. Just like an ant, no matter how much it observes, it can't possibly understand the details of a human being. At this moment, Lin Yang can't discern anything more.
After a while, with the help of the pills and the pure innate spiritual energy emitted by the sphere, Lin Yang finally returned to normal.
Fortunately, he was a pay-to-win player, with money and equipment. Even if he got injured, as long as it wasn't a serious injury that damaged his foundation, he could recover quickly.
Just like now, not long after, they set off again, lively and energetic. Now, Lin Yang is becoming increasingly curious about this hidden paradise.
If, by some chance, I were to find the key to this grotto-heaven and then, by sheer luck, gain control of it, that would be true wealth!
An abandoned cave!
A hidden paradise that holds many secrets!
A mutated cave-world filled with chaotic energy!
This is wealth, this is opportunity, this is foundation, this is destiny!
Soon, Lin Yang spotted a rock. It looked dark and unsightly. Having learned his lesson, Lin Yang carefully took a third-tier sword and threw it. With a loud thud, it struck the rock. But nothing happened.
Then, Lin Yang picked it up and began to examine it closely. The stone wasn't large, but it was incredibly heavy. It was only the size of an egg, yet it was heavier than the third-tier sword he had just used.
All I can say is that although I don't know what this thing is, it's definitely something valuable.
Under the divine eye's observation, this item emitted a fifth-tier purple light. This indicates that, in terms of grade alone, it is another fifth-tier material or treasure.
One, two, three, four...
