Chapter 183 Karmic Luck

\'Hmm, it really is strange. In one tiny fractured world, I met three Extreme Yin physiques and one Extreme Yang physique. Not to mention, that they all are more or less the same age... as if this world spontaneously produced people with special physiques at the same time\'

Wu Long thought to himself while they moved, as normally the odds of having even two rare physiques appear in one small world simultaneously were so minuscule that it was not even worth mentioning.

"Is it... karmic luck?"

Wu Long thought out loud.

"Hm? Karmic luck?"

Luo Mingyu asked, intrigued by the name.

"Hmm, it is an ethereal concept, mostly theoretical since it cannot be confirmed.

It is theorized that the Seven Boundless World as a single entity, like everything in the universe has not only a body, which is its physical representation, energy, which is all of the energies, including Spiritual Qi within but also a soul, which is akin to the will of the world.

This will is separated into two parts, one is the laws governing the world, and the other is more elusive, sometimes called \'Karmic Luck\', and it is thought to govern the spontaneous changes that are commonly known as happenings, including the birth of natural treasures, specially talented geniuses, natural disasters, special demonic beasts and people with special physiques among other things"

Wu Long explained, and the light of interest intensified not only in Luo Mingyu\'s eyes but Shen Min and Hua Ziyan\'s eyes as well.

"Does it mean that this fractured world is somehow blessed by this Karmic Luck?"

Shen Min asked, as when Wu Long explained just how rare their physiques are to them they also found it strange.

Hua Ziyan did not have an Extreme Yin physique, but her constitution was also a little more special since her Yin Qi and consequently, Spiritual Qi, were very tenacious. It may not be as rare but it was not common as well. About one in ten billion people may have a constitution that was special in this way. Yet Wu Long met both Hua Ziyan and Sui Luxiao, who had a different variation but about the same degree of rarity constitution.

There is also Song Lingfei\'s spontaneous reversion to ancestral bloodline which caused her bloodline to be closer to that of Azure Eagle Spiritual Beast Race than humans.

"Perhaps. Though it is just a name to describe phenomena we do not understand since we do not know how exactly it works"

Wu Long said ponderingly as he was not sure what to make of it. It was too good of a coincidence to dismiss it, but he also did not know enough about it to make assumptions.

As they approached the mountain the scorching heat was visibly repelled by the Spiritual Qi around their bodies. When they were still on the ship, Wu Long gave them all cloth masks with arrays and inscriptions that isolated them from harmful gases, which they wore on the way.

Wu Long launched his spiritual sense and soon pinpointed the area with a lot of active Spiritual Qi.

"Found it!"

They rushed in the direction Wu Long sensed the indications from and ascended the side of the mountain that was free of flowing lava and arrived at one of the edges of the giant main vent. There they could see a small island of burning-colors crystal sitting in the midst of the erupting lava, seemingly solid and unmovable, where a red plant was growing with an already blooming flower that looked as if the petals were made of lava since they were glowing with fiery colors, constantly flowing along the surface.

Wu Long took out the jade knife and box he prepared specially for it and with a few steps landed on the small island, carefully harvesting only the flower into the jade box and leaving the plant mostly untouched since it was a natural treasure that could possibly give birth to more flowers thousands of years from now for someone else to find.

He then returned to the group of beauties and they made their way back to the ship.

Wu Long opted not to dispose of the ship Nie You used to arrive here, since when he went through it with his spiritual sense there were only regular sailors on it, meaning that it was just a rental ship to cross the sea, with possibly not even an idea of who they were transporting. Not to mention that they did not see anything, and the only thing they could attest to was that they brought Nie You and his men to this island where they disappeared.

Cao Mei sighed with relief when they returned, as an island with an actively erupting volcano was not exactly the safest place if there was a spontaneous second explosive eruption.

They set off into the sea again.

"Okay, I will need some rest"

Wu Long said when he saw that they safely left the effective area where the volcano could still potentially harm them with flying debris.

"Go ahead and rest, I\'ll keep watch. Honestly, you didn\'t have to use your Sword Domain to get yourself exhausted"

Ye Ling said as she gently looked at him. At the moment Nie You was about to speak words that would be not pleasant for them to hear, Wu Long simply expanded his Sword Domain, not letting him make even a sound before death.

Wu Long smiled at her and went to his cabin, while Ye Ling stayed not far in the room next to his to ensure he could fully rest without using the technique.

"Sister Ye Ling, there is one thing I don\'t understand. If Sword Intent is an abstract power that is not limited by cultivation, why did Wu Long say that he cannot display his full Sword Intent and why does it exhaust and could even potentially harm the user if it is not a physical power?"

Luo Mingyu sat next to her and the others became interested as well, sitting around Ye Ling.

"It is because it is the power of comprehension of the sword. Remember the time you use your mind a lot to study or for complex problems, your body gets surprisingly tired, right? Common mortals burn a lot of energy using their minds, and could even lose weight if they do not compensate for that. Sword intent is similar, in that it involves a lot of mental strain and mental power to exert, and that affects the body since your brain works intensely, using all that energy"

She first explained plainly so that they could understand, simplifying the reason which was a little more complex. Since the body still needed to do the physical manifestation of the Sword Intent which also put a strain on it, and there were other factors that influenced the strain on the body as well. But she gradually explained the rest as well.

The beauties talked about different topics and sometimes laughed in unison. There was a peaceful atmosphere around them. They talked deep into the night, and as the sun started to rise over the horizon, Hua Ziyan stood up.

"Sister Ziyan, you are going to sleep?"

Luo Mingyu asked her while Ye Ling smiled when she looked at Hua Ziyan\'s face.

"No, I... um... wanted to visit the room next door"

Hua Ziyan replied looking slightly away with a light blush.

"Oh..."

Luo Mingyu and Shen Min said almost simultaneously while Wei Lan turned red as a tomato.

"Take good care of him"

Ye Ling simply said while smiling and Hua Ziyan nodded, happily turning and going to the door.

Luo Mingyu and Shen Min also had the urge to go together, but it had been a while since they had him all to themselves, so they decided to give Hua Ziyan her time and take turns during the next opportunities so that each of them had some time alone with Wu Long.

\'These girls really are bold\'

Wei Lan thought to herself when she saw how freely they expressed their desires.

Ye Ling simply smiled as her perception of time was still different from these girls, so she was not as impatient. But she also understood, since even if they now had a long lifespan, none of them except Wei Lan lived long enough to realize how long their lifespan actually is, and thus every such desire seemed more urgent to them.
