Chapter 79 Review
Chapter 79 Review
"Fortunately, I had the Enlightenment Tea Tree to suppress my fortune and destiny; otherwise, this vital energy might have already turned me into that ancestor's puppet," Lu Yu also heaved a quiet sigh of relief.
It wasn't until he returned to his Cave Heaven that he noticed the presence of this vital energy. Only then did he realize that the ancestor's intention was not really Xue Wuyi, but to draw him out and stealthily plant that seed.
"Perhaps even that Bodhisattva failed to perceive this seed. If it weren't for the Enlightenment Tea Tree's warning, I would have overlooked it too. These mighty ones are truly no small fries. However, he probably didn't foresee that I actually possess the Innate Spirit Root," Lu Yu calmed his spirit and began to review the incident, gradually getting a grip on its ins and outs.
From the beginning, Patriarch Nether River had set his sights on Lu Yu, choosing Xue Wuyi merely as a decoy to divert attention. Through Xue Wuyi, he successfully lured Lu Yu to him, and then under the guise of combat, silently implanted the seed in Lu Yu's heart.
Today, Lu Yu's realm could be considered notable in the Three Realms. Combine this with his roles as executor and advocate of the Divine Enthronement in the Underworld, he made for a prime puppet. The only trouble was his lineage, but his teacher was currently busy seeking transcendence and likely wouldn't focus on such a minor figure as Lu Yu.
If he could successfully turn Lu Yu into his puppet, it would be highly advantageous for Patriarch Nether River. He had been suppressed by Ksitigarbha for years and couldn't escape. With a significant shift impending in the heaven and earth and mighty beings having laid plans for years on the verge of unfolding, he was not willing to lose this golden opportunity.
Lu Yu hosting the Divine Enthronement in the Underworld and his intricate ties with the Monkey made him an ideal merit-extraction machine, stirring Nether River's desire immensely.
The situation unfolded just as he anticipated. Ksitigarbha did not discover the hidden seed. To be safe, Patriarch Nether River didn't activate the seed until after everything had settled and Lu Yu had returned to his Cave Heaven. To his surprise, Lu Yu possessed the Innate Spirit Root and, aided by this innate fortune and destiny, successfully suppressed the vital energy.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shivered, feeling a chill all over. Such schemes were too covert; there had been no sign ahead of time. Everyone was deceived until the moment it was triggered, and that was when Lu Yu realized he was the true target.
"Is this the calculation of the mighty?" Lu Yu murmured, realizing that such schemes were indeed insidious and highlighted the preciousness of the Innate Spirit Root.
It must be known that Innate Spirit Roots are also proud entities. They are born inherently and are the most noble existence in this world. Ordinary people, even if they obtained a Spirit Root, would find it extremely challenging to gain the recognition of the Spirit Root and connect their own Fortune and Destiny.
Little did he know that the Enlightenment Tea Tree had its roots injured and its True Spirit extinguished. If not for Lu Yu's breath of Innate air, it probably couldn't have revived, and the newly formed consciousness didn't possess the initial pride, hence it connected early with Lu Yu's Fortune and Destiny.
Frustrated, Patriarch of the Nether River forcefully spurred the seed but still found himself unable to break through the barrier of Innate Destiny. One could only imagine his frustration, having gone through such efforts to shape this situation, only to see it collapse at the final step.
"Ksitigarbha, Waiter, won't you fight a grand battle of three hundred rounds with this old ancestor!" Out of sheer frustration, Patriarch of the Nether River couldn't help but rise into the air, seeking out Ksitigarbha to vent his anger.
Ksitigarbha was sitting in a temple by the Sea of Blood, and upon hearing the distant shouting, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What's with this ancestor today?"
Next to Ksitigarbha lay a Divine Beast with a tiger's head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion's tail, and Qilin feet, looking like a dragon but not a dragon, like a tiger but not a tiger, like a lion but not a lion, like a Qilin but not a Qilin, like a dog but not a dog.
It was Di Ting Divine Beast.
If it lay on the ground, in an instant, it could observe the mountains and rivers of the Four Great Continents, the realms of Cave Heaven and Blessed Earth, and every creature therein—worms, fish, fur creatures, feathered creatures, and insects, Heavenly Immortals, Earth Immortals, and the wide range of spiritual beings—watching over their good and evil, discerning the wise from the foolish.
Seeing this, the Divine Beast smirked and said, "This old ancestor, after all his scheming, has suffered a setback, and now has come to ventilate his fury on you."
"Oh! It seems you've heard some secret again."
"Haha, speaking of which, it's your fault, Monk. This ancestor secretly planted a seed in Lu Yu's spirit, intending to turn him into his own puppet, but what do you know, Lu Yu actually has an Innate Spirit Root, rendering this ancestor's plans moot."
