Chapter 817: Destiny Slaying Sword
The disc spun, and both wind and cloud stirred. The word “Fortune” began to shine brightly and cast wisps of clear, somewhat dark light from between the gap of material and immaterial.
As the light spread throughout the battlefield, pictures began appearing atop everyone’s heads. Some people had green pine trees above their heads, some had what looked like flowing rivers, some carried lotus leaves and paddy fields, and some showed off rising dragons and serpents.
The pictures were the artistic manifestation of one’s fortune and destiny. Looking at the elders, it was clear that their fortunes were nothing like the ordinary citizens and disciples of Goddess City. It was obvious at first glance that every single one of them was destined to live a rich, long, and healthy life.
Tiger Master Gong and Nail Grandma stood out even among the elders, however. Tiger Master Gong’s fortune resembled a crimson star with a black tiger sitting on top of it, winds and clouds quaking under its violent might. As for Nail Grandma, many headless divine beings were standing on her skull and breathing reddish purple clouds and vapor. They looked down on the world like they were superior above anyone and everyone.
Gold and purple were the best colors of fortune, and red came right after. It was clear from the pictures that Tiger Master Gong’s fortune was firmly in the red, whereas Nail Grandma’s was beginning to show signs of purple. They were clearly fortunate beings who were strongly favored by fate.
Not only that, the star and black tiger that represented Tiger Master Gong’s fortune was called the “Black Tiger Crouches On The Star”, whereas the headless divine beings that represented Nail Grandma’s fortune was called the “Gods Look Down From Heaven”. They were both rare and noble fortunes.
In comparison, Ye Qing’s fortune was a patch of dark yellow that was neither gold, purple, red or white. Sitting within this patch of indiscernible color was a large cauldron with three feet and two ears[1]. It looked heavy, thick, and perfectly mundane. There did not seem to be anything extraordinary about it whatsoever.
The next moment, the disc spun faster and caused invisible vibrations on the earth. Its dark light grew brighter and brighter until it condensed into a sword.
The sword had four sides: black, white, gray and green. Each and every color represented inauspiciousness and misfortune. And yet, it was imposing and grand as if it was the manifestation of the heavens empowered by the earth itself. It was called the Destiny Slaying Sword.
