Chapter 289: Fortune Descends from the Sky, Reunion with an Old Friend
"Look quickly! Streaks of light are flying toward Holy City!"
In Holy City, all the martial artists who were paying attention to the movements of the white vortex, upon seeing more than a dozen streaks of light actually heading straight for the city, were instantly exhilarated.
As you may know, they all had a very clear view just now.
Within the white vortex, only a few dozen streaks of light had flown out, scattering in different directions toward the four corners of the world.
Now, with more than a dozen streaks of light falling directly into the city, how could the martial artists not be agitated?
Some warriors couldn't help but have a thought emerge in their hearts.
Could this opportunity be destined for me?
"What a great opportunity!"
The Innate Realm Experts in the city instantly used their movement techniques to chase after the points where the light streaks were landing.
The light streaks were extremely fast, much faster than the movement techniques of the Innate Realm Experts.
And they were not gathered together, but were also falling in multiple directions toward Holy City.
As a result, the Innate Realm Experts within the city were suddenly stirred, each flying toward the streaks of light they had set their sights on.
Among them, a few particular streaks of light were especially eye-catching.
"Hmm? There are several streaks of light gathering together, falling in the same direction?"
"Looking at the position, it seems to be near the Tianji Building!"
"What does Tianji Building matter? Opportunity is before us; those who are destined will get it. Does Tianji Building really dare to block us?"
Immediately after, more than a dozen Innate Realm Experts rushed toward the location of the Tianji Building.
The aura emitted by more than a dozen Innate Realm Experts gathering together was naturally formidable beyond words.
Along the way, anyone who sensed such immense might stepped aside as if evading venomous snakes, not daring to obstruct them in the slightest.
Initially, there were also some Postnatal Realm martial artists who had seen the light streaks and wanted to try their luck.
But just as they were about to move, they were swept over by this overpowering aura, instantly becoming stiff and frightened, no longer daring to make the slightest move.
While the group of Innate Realm Experts were rushing toward Tianji Building, in a small courtyard, Lu Qing and his companions stared at the sky above in some astonishment.
Because what they discovered was that the streaks of light seemed to be headed straight for them.
The light streaks traveled incredibly fast; within just a few breaths, they were above the small courtyard.
Then, as if they had a specific target, they split apart and swooped down toward Lu Qing and his friends.
Three of them headed for Little Yan, Little Li, and Hu Zezhi.
A thought flickered in Lu Qing's heart, but since he didn't sense any dangerous aura, he didn't intervene and let them enter their bodies.
The remaining two streaks of light moved toward Lu Qing and the elder doctor.
However, this time Lu Qing didn't allow it to enter his body unimpeded.
A faint white light emanated from his palm as he reached for the streaks of light.
The light streaks had no aggressiveness and were calmly captured in Lu Qing's hand.
The elder doctor also did the same, condensing True Qi in his palm and grabbing the streak of light that was pouncing on him.
"Mr. Lu!"
Hu Zezhi looked toward Lu Qing somewhat frantically.
On the other hand, Little Yan and Little Li were completely befuddled.
"There's no need to worry; this should not harm you," Lu Qing reassured them.
Though his mind also harbored some doubts.
It wasn't too surprising for Hu Zezhi to receive Origin Energy from heaven, as her life was filled with great fortune and she was naturally beloved by the world.
But what he couldn't understand was why they too had Origin Energy actively flying toward them.
Could it be that the Will of the Heavenly Dao had already chosen their owners for these Origin Energies in this invisible realm?
"Ah Qing, what is this?"
Although deep down he longed for the light streak in his hand, the elder doctor didn't impulsively allow the unknown substance to enter his body.
Lu Qing used his Superpower to quickly examine it, and soon, a smile appeared on his face.
"Master, this is a precious treasure, the Origin Energy of the world, the very opportunity we have been sensing all along.
Just by absorbing it into our bodies, we would reap enormous benefits."
"Origin Energy of the world?"
The elder doctor looked at the flowing light in his hand and, upon closer examination, discovered that it was indeed a stream of energy that seemed both white and grey, chaotic like the primordial void.
Its form was like that of a dragon or serpent, constantly changing, truly profound.
"How then should we utilize this item?"
"Simply by drawing it into our body and refining it with our heart and spirit.
However, Master, I fear we may not have the time to refine it at the moment."
Lu Qing looked ahead, and at the same time, the elder doctor's expression shifted as he sensed many powerful auras rushing towards them.
The next moment, over a dozen silhouettes appeared atop the courtyard wall surrounding them.
And immediately, they saw the flowing light in the hands of the elder doctor and Lu Qing.
Sensing the strong pull from it, a group of Innate Realm Experts' eyes shone brightly.
"The opportunity is there!"
"Kid, hand over the item. It's not meant for you to possess!"
"Old man, if you don't want to die, give up what's in your hands!"
"Fellow Daoists, the flowing light in your hands is fated for us, please kindly return it."
A group of Innate Realm Experts shouted, demanding Lu Qing and the elder doctor relinquish the flowing light.
At this time, these Innate Realm Experts also sensed an aura of opportunity emanating from Little Yan and others.
Clearly, the other missing streams of light were on them.
With this, everyone's hearts grew even more eager, and their gazes even greedier.
If it were not for the fact that they were in Tianji Building's territory, plus a faint premonition of warning, they might have already taken action to snatch it away directly.
At this moment, two people among the group of Innate Realm Experts shuddered when they clearly saw the faces of Lu Qing and the elder doctor, disbelief evident in their eyes.
"It's you!"
Just then, Lu Qing also recognized them.
He lifted his eyes in surprise, not expecting to encounter familiar faces at this time.
Indeed, among the group of Innate Realm Experts, Lu Qing saw the familiar figures of Wang Cangyi and his senior disciple, Zhao Xiong, whom they had encountered more than two years ago.
"Junior Brother Wang, nephew Zhao, do you know these two?"
A skinny elder asked.
"Elder, this old and young pair are the master and disciple who defeated us and fled two years ago, and also the masterminds behind Junior Brother Tong's death," Zhao Xiong spoke respectfully.
A cold light flickered in Wang Cangyi's eyes.
He was no fool; having retreated in defeat from Cang County, he had already surmised.
The disappearance of his other Direct Disciples must be related to Lu Qing and his Master.
He recalled how he was close to seizing the Exotic Treasure from the Wei Family, only for Lu Qing and his Master to intervene at the last moment, causing his failure.
And now they were intercepting the fortune descending from heaven.
Old grudges not yet settled, new hatred added, murderous intent surged in Wang Cangyi's heart.
He spoke in a grim voice, "Yes, elder brother, these two are extremely sly and cunning, especially the old man who appears benign but has already grasped a whiff of the Innate Realm Intent.
I was careless at the time and lost because of his move.
You must be cautious and must not fall into his trap!"
Wang Cangyi deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around could hear.
"Innate Realm Intent!"
Indeed, upon hearing this, all Innate Realm Experts' expressions changed.
Those who could realize the Domain Realm must be at least Innate Realm Early Stage Experts or above.
The old man appeared unremarkable, yet he had comprehended such a profound Intent?
Instantly, the previously greedy Innate Realm Experts were all shaken in their hearts and spirits, showing a wary expression.
