Chapter 932: The World Is Fate (2)

“You guys keep an eye on the things in the carriage. I’ll take Pingzi for a blood test. As long as it’s confirmed, our trip should be much easier.”


“Okay, Uncle Shuan.”


Uncle Shuan brought Shen Ping to the eastern district of the county. The roads here were paved with clean stone slabs, and the shops on both sides were much higher-grade. The clothes of the travelers were gorgeous, and the women’s makeup was exquisite. Clearly, they were the noble district in the city.


Shen Ping and Uncle Shuan were out of place. The two of them did not mind, though. They walked along the road and arrived in front of an imposing door.


“Stop! What are you two doing?” the soldier at the door shouted.


Uncle Shuan hurried forward to explain, “We’re here to test the bloodline of the Luminarist.”


Hearing that it’s about the Luminarist, the soldier’s expression changed slightly. His gaze landed on Shen Ping. “It’s him?”


“That’s right.”


“Come in, come in.”


The soldier was much more polite. In this world, no one dared to pretend to be a Luminarist. Even if one tested their bloodline, they basically had a bloodline. Otherwise, if they did not detect it, they would be severely punished.


Uncle Shuan did not tell Shen Ping about this. They entered the courtyard. The soldier led the two of them to the front hall. Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in. His eyes were bright and his body emitted a faint energy aura.


“Hm? Strange, he clearly has an aura on his body, but why can’t I sense the existence of the Life Lamp?” The middle-aged man walked to Shen Ping and said with a smile, “Stretch out your hand.”


Shen Ping did as he said. A needle pierced his finger and blood dripped. Next, the middle-aged man flicked his finger, causing the blood to sizzle and emit flames. His eyes lit up, and his smile widened. “Not bad. You do have the bloodline of a Luminarist, and it’s not low.”


Uncle Shuan was extremely excited. He said in a trembling voice, “I said that the child has it. The child definitely has it!”


The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Very good. With such a bloodline, your future achievements will not be low. Your luck is not bad. You actually have the bloodline of a Luminarist.”


Uncle Shuan quickly shook his head. “This is not my bloodline.”


The middle-aged man didn’t care. “Someone, bring the money over.” After a while, Uncle Shuan had a lot of goods in his hands. The middle-aged man said, “You have contributed greatly by sending me a bloodline of a luminarist. I will send soldiers to protect you. If you come to the city in the future, you can meet him.”


“I understand.”


Before parting, Uncle Shuan patted Shen Ping’s shoulder. “Pingzi, from the moment I saw you in the house in the forest, I knew that sending you to the county was my mission. Now that this mission has been completed, I’m relieved. You can stay here in the future and become a noble. You don’t have to come back to the village. If you want to contribute, you can also help the Luminarist clean up the vengeful spirits in the village.”


Shen Ping was stunned. He looked at Uncle Shuan, whose face was filled with the vicissitudes of life. This old hunter in the village had his own intelligence.


“Alright, don’t send me off. I’ll walk the rest of the way. Remember, you’re different now. You’re a luminarist. Your path is different.”


He waited until Uncle Shuan was far away. The middle-aged man stood in front of Shen Ping and said with a smile, “This old man is right. Your path in the future will be different from anyone else. We, the Luminarists, are destined to be the most noble. Alright, rest well for the next few days and tidy up. When you’ve recovered enough, come to the backyard and activate your first life lamp.”



The Luminarist was indeed different. Even before he lit his life lamp, his life and daily life had changed drastically. Every day when he woke up, there was a special maid to help him dress and wash up. At night, beautiful maids poured hot water and washed away the dust with their bodies. The food was also very luxurious. In just five days, Shen Ping went from a village boy to a handsome young man.


In the backyard, there were ten Luminarists like him who had yet to light their Life Lamps. There were only 30 Luminarists in the entire county. They were in charge of the fate of everyone in the nearby villages. If they did not clean up the vengeful spirits, a village would be destroyed in a short period of time. The citizens of the county would also be devoured by the vengeful spirits.


“What is a life lamp? It is to use our own vitality as a guide and our blood as a foundation to lit up the path ahead. This is our innate talent, and as a luminarist, we are destined to use the common people as our thoughts and wash away all evil, filth, and darkness in the world.


“How to light a life lamp…”


The reason why Luminarists were noble was mainly because they controlled the lives of many people. Without Luminarists, vengeful spirits would have completely destroyed living beings. Therefore, ever since living beings appeared in this world, Luminarists were the only Transcendents who could fight against vengeful spirits.


As for the Life Lamp bloodline, it was innate. There’s no way to become a Luminarist. As long as one had the bloodline of the Life Lamp, it would not be difficult to light it. The method to light it was also very simple. It was to absorb vengeful spirits and use the power of vengeful spirits to stimulate the bloodline. Then, it would be refined by the Earth Fire and finally light the Life Lamp in his body.


The brighter the Life Lamp, the stronger one would be. Similarly, the more Life Lamps there were, the stronger one would be. However, the level of the Luminarist was also destined.


Other than Shen Ping, the other ten people in the county who lit their life lamps were destined to only become two-star Luminarists.


Therefore, when Shen Ping lit the life lamp, the middle-aged man in the county sensed the rich Life Qi, and his eyes revealed envy. “Your bloodline is the richest I’ve ever seen. You shouldn’t be in the county, but in the prefecture capital, or even the capital city. That’s where you should be.”


Just like that, Shen Ping had not even stayed in the county for half a month before he was sent to the prefecture capital. Then, he went all the way to the state capital.


“Everyone is born with a future. It’s difficult for all living beings to change their fate. They can only struggle to survive within a certain range. The Luminarist looks noble, but his fate and future have long been determined. There are no surprises.”


It had been two months since he had stayed in the scenic garden of the state capital. And after two short months, Shen Ping had a simple and clear understanding of this world. He also understood why the Underworld Emperor said that this was the most suitable place to comprehend the power of fate, because every one of them was controlled by fate. Including himself, from the moment he was born, he had already walked on the path set by fate. Whether it was the people he met or what he did, it was fate.


“The reason why people are human is in the infinite possibilities. How can the fate of this world arrange the possibility of people?” He pondered. There were no shortcuts to comprehending fate, let alone having a clear path like the other Great Daos of Heaven and Earth. After all, fate was illusory, unfathomable, and impossible to comprehend.


“Congratulations, Shen Ping. After testing, your bloodline is the power of seven-star Life Qi. As long as you continuously absorb vengeful spirits, you can ignite seven bright lamps and become a Seven-star Luminarist!”


The people who walked over were envious. In the State Capital, the strongest was a seven-star Luminarist. There were very few such experts.


In the entire Nation of Yun, the strongest person in the capital was only an eight-star Luminarist. Since he was destined to become a seven-star Luminarist from the beginning, he would have an extremely high status in the future.


Almost on the same day, various large factions in the state capital came to congratulate him, expressing their intention to befriend him, both openly and secretly. Some even wanted to marry their daughters over.


It could be said that having a Seven-stars Life Qi, Shen Ping instantly became a popular figure in the state capital. Even though he had just lit his first life lamp, those people flocked to him.


He politely sent everyone away, then consulted the ancient books, reading the rumors about the various luminarists.


The strongest luminarist in the world was a nine-star luminarist. At this level, one could control the fate of the world with a thought. If one wanted to become a nine-star luminarist, they had to have a longevity lamp. It was difficult to light a longevity lamp with ordinary vengeful spirits. Other luminarists had to use their own fate to ignite their life to light up the longevity lamp.
