The next day, the sun rose.
Xuan Xiao bathed in the sunlight, standing on the high platform in the center of the tribe, and shouted.
“My people, why is our tribe called the Tianxing Tribe?”
“Because Tian Jianxing, the human race should be self-reliant and unyielding!”
“Yes, that's right, self-reliant and unyielding. Everything in the past may have destroyed the flesh and souls of our human race, but it could not extinguish the self-reliant and unyielding spirit of our human race. So my people, train! Form-Intention Technique, Dragon Form!”
Xuan Xiao’s shout resonated through the vast tribe, invigorating all the tribespeople.
In an instant, Xuan Xiao's body surged with energy, a crimson glow blooming from within, accompanied by the evolution of the Dragon Form, echoing the sound of a dragon’s roar.
Below the high platform, within the tribe, regardless of gender, or age, they all followed Xuan Xiao, wielding their bodies, shouting bravely, and echoing the dragon's roar.
For a moment, the shouts shook the sky, stirring the hearts of the people.
However, Xuan Xiao's body danced, brimming with strength and beauty. Every part of his body faintly resonated, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming into a surging crimson glow.
After dancing the Dragon Form for a long time, Xuan Xiao transformed again: "Form-Intention Technique, Tiger Form!"
Then the roar of a tiger echoed, a glimpse of a fierce tiger flying towards the sky, roaring in defiance.
Then the tiger transformed into a crane, then into a grey wolf...
The changing beasts, each one was filled with wildness and ferocity.
Such a sight made Yun Xiao, who had just joined the tribe, and others, look on in amazement, filled with curiosity.
They approached an old man who was not involved: “Elder Ye, what is the leader doing?”
“Cultivating!” Elder Ye's aged face was filled with pride and relief. He told Yun Xiao: “Yun Xiao, our leader and the others are cultivating the Form-Intention Technique. This technique was created by our leader, imitating the form, movements, and breathing of the wild beasts in the Great Wilderness... Ultimately, it evolved into a cultivation method.”
“Cultivating the Form-Intention Technique can temper the flesh of our human race, granting us human bodies comparable to the fierce beasts of the Great Wilderness, enabling our human race to fight beasts with their bodies. And perhaps one day, it will allow our human race to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Divine Beasts of the Great Wilderness.”
“This.....” Yun Xiao was speechless, her beautiful eyes were filled with a mix of astonishment and complexity as she looked at Xuan Xiao, full of curiosity. Her heart was also stirred.
Elder Ye smiled, stroking his beard and sighing: “Yun Xiao, you should know that since the birth of our human race, we have lacked a cultivation method. Although there is the Sage Taiqing of the Human Dao, he created the Golden Core method for our human race. However, it is rumored that this method is only suitable for a few humans to cultivate, and cannot be widely practiced by all humans. Plus, our human race has suffered a great calamity, and many cultivation methods have been lost.”
“After our Tianxing Tribe settled on the coast of the East Sea, we found that there was no cultivation method in the entire tribe. Without the inheritance of cultivation methods, how could our human race become self-reliant? Relying solely on our own strength, we could not even withstand the fierce beasts of the Great Wilderness. Let alone wanting to avenge the Yao Race!”
“It was at this time that Leader Xuan Xiao stood up. He was extremely intelligent, and simply by observing the beasts, he realized the Form-Intention Technique. I have to say, our Tianxing Tribe has what we have today, all thanks to our leader!”
Under Elder Ye's description, Xuan Xiao became a great figure who had dedicated himself to his people, to his tribe, and finally created the Form-Intention Technique. Unwittingly, Yun Xiao began to see Xuan Xiao in a new light.
Yun Xiao’s starry eyes looked at Xuan Xiao with respect.
.....
At this moment, Xuan Xiao was unaware of Elder Ye and Yun Xiao's conversation.
Xuan Xiao, now leading his people, had completed the Form-Intention Technique, 108 moves, and gradually exhaled a breath of stale air.
Looking at the people below who were still training diligently, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. However, after feeling the changes in himself, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
“My cultivation hasn't progressed in a long time!” Xuan Xiao felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, sensing the changes in himself, feeling a mix of emotions. Since creating the Form-Intention Technique, until now, when it was perfected into 108 moves, his cultivation had hit a bottleneck, his body was unable to improve, and his blood essence couldn’t be transformed.
Feeling the mysterious bead in his mind, he sighed softly: “Alas... I simply lack enough luck. If I had enough luck, why would I be so troubled. Luck Bead, Luck Bead, as a Primordial Treasure, you’re my trump card, couldn’t you be more helpful and make me stronger quickly!”
As a transmigrator, Xuan Xiao naturally had a trump card. The Luck Bead was Xuan Xiao’s trump card and his reliance.
At the time of the opening of the heavens and earth, a core fragment of the Chaos Bead, tainted by Pangu’s luck, evolved into the Primordial Treasure, the Luck Bead.
Although the Luck Bead was a Primordial Treasure, it wasn’t good at killing or defending, but it could gather luck, suppress luck, conceal celestial secrets, hide fate... its various uses were mysterious and extraordinary.
Of course, the Luck Bead also nurtured an incredibly powerful supernatural ability, Burning Luck!
Supernatural Ability, Burning Luck! After using this ability, with luck as fuel, it ignited luck, transforming it into chaotic power. This power could do anything, it could enhance Xuan Xiao’s wisdom, enhance Xuan Xiao's perception, it could temporarily improve Xuan Xiao's cultivation, his body... it could also permanently improve Xuan Xiao’s body and cultivation.
It could also help Xuan Xiao break through bottlenecks, avoid misfortune, and seek opportunities.
It can be said that as long as there is enough luck, Xuan Xiao can use the ‘Supernatural Ability, Burning Luck’, to achieve everything he can think of, like a wish-fulfilling pearl.
Of course, no matter what he did, the amount of luck he had to burn was proportional to the task.
If Xuan Xiao wanted to cultivate to the Realm of the Primordial One, then the amount of luck he needed to burn would be absolutely terrifying. Perhaps he would need to gather the luck of both the Witch and Yao Races, or even the luck of the Three Races, to achieve this.
That’s why, Xuan Xiao, despite having the Primordial Treasure, the Luck Bead, and the ultimate Supernatural Ability, Burning Luck, was still wasting time on the coast of the East Sea.
He had no choice, Xuan Xiao simply lacked enough luck. Simply relying on gathering the luck of his tribe wouldn’t allow him to improve quickly. Moreover, Xuan Xiao didn't dare to burn all of his luck. If all his luck was burned, then disaster would surely come.
.....
Over the years, Xuan Xiao had been working hard to condense luck.
He tried to use the experience of his predecessors as transmigrators, making pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, tables and chairs, developing human language... hoping to gain the merit of heaven and earth, and condense luck. After all, many Great Wilderness novels had mentioned that gaining merit would also increase one’s luck.
Unfortunately, everything Xuan Xiao did not only resulted in no merit coming down, his luck didn’t increase at all. At most, it made his tribe develop a little faster. This made Xuan Xiao very depressed, and he thought that novels were all lies.
In the end, Xuan Xiao found a method to gather luck, which was to develop his tribe. Only when the tribe grew strong would its luck increase. From then on, Xuan Xiao, in order to develop his tribe, first modified the phrase ‘Tian Jianxing, the gentleman is self-reliant and unyielding’, and named the tribe the Tianxing Tribe. He encouraged his tribe to be self-reliant, gathered human refugees, developed the tribe, and gathered luck.
With the slowly increasing luck of the tribe, Xuan Xiao finally had the chance to use the Supernatural Ability, Burning Luck. But because of his lack of luck, and because of his continuous development, Xuan Xiao finally ignited his luck and improved his own perception and wisdom. Combining the Five Animal Plays he had learned in his previous life, Form-Intention Boxing, and observing the fierce beasts he had encountered in this life, he created the ‘Form-Intention Technique, Tiger Form’!
Later, he gradually perfected it, and now there is the Form-Intention Technique, 108 Moves.
