Chapter 381: Chapter 216: Fortune Strikes (For Real)_2

"It doesn’t quite feel like it, rather like there’s some kind of fate about to hit me on the head," Gu Shanhai felt not a sense of danger, but rather a spontaneous feeling of a windfall knocking at his door.

"???" Bai Lv had a confused look, wondering what the heck kind of feeling that was.

"Don’t worry, with me here, we can still run if we can’t fight. And if worse comes to worst, I’ll just detonate the entire Mountain Gate Array along with the Spirit Vein of East Floating Mountain. Even someone at the Peeping Dao Stage will be blasted and lose a layer of skin," Gu Shanhai confidently stated.

As for East Floating Mountain losing its Spirit Vein, that was not a big deal. They could just cultivate a new one later on when things had settled down.

"Elder, don’t you think that just blasting the skin off someone at the Peeping Dao Stage is kinda useless?" Bai Lv retorted.

"Well, what can I do? This is the extent of its power. I would also like to blast someone at the Peeping Dao Stage to death, but the problem is it won’t kill them," Gu Shanhai counter-retorted.

Having witnessed the strength of someone at the Peeping Dao Stage, Gu Shanhai knew they were powerful, with levels around 300+. Every hundred levels, every thousand levels, there’s a threshold. The difference between level 299 and 300 was not on the same par.

Thus, his explosion could kill those at the Magic Awakening Stage, but when facing someone at the Peeping Dao Stage, it simply wasn’t enough.

"So what should we do next, since we’re dealing with the Peeping Dao Stage?" Bai Lv was easily swayed by Gu Shanhai.

"Relax, I’ve got this. If we have to run, I’ll take you with me," Gu Shanhai assured.

Since his ability to predict the future with Prophetic Divination was being interfered with, Gu Shanhai didn’t know what this impulsive feeling was about.

It could be a stroke of luck, but fortune often came hand-in-hand with disaster.

So it really could be anything.

In truth, he was also hesitating. He wasn’t that concerned about opportunities; if it wasn’t for the fact that it was even more chaotic and dangerous outside, he would’ve preferred to just leave and run. It was best not to complicate things further at this stage.

"Master, Master..." Shen An came running in a slightly panicked tone.

"What’s happened, what have you found?" Gu Shanhai asked quickly.

"There’s something in the sky, like a black dot," Shen An said, somewhat flustered.

"What black dot... Damn!!!" Gu Shanhai looked up after coming outside and saw it wasn’t just a black dot. That thing was a meteorite.

"Elder, the opportunity you mentioned falling on our heads, it’s literally crashing down on us," Bai Lv was numb, realizing that following this Dharma Transmission Elder meant you had to be bold.

"How could I have known this opportunity would truly come crashing down?" Gu Shanhai was unable to explain at this moment. Before, metaphorically speaking, the fortunes were supposed to figuratively hit his head, but now it had become physical.

"Now what do we do? With such a huge Sky Star falling, it’s not just us, the entire East Floating Mountain won’t be spared," Bai Lv said helplessly, knowing it was time to run.

"Let me think, let me think. If this thing is fated, it must have some benefits," Gu Shanhai said.

"Master, we can talk about benefits and all that later. Can you first stop this Sky Star from falling, or else it will hit us soon," Shen An had little concept of the severity of a meteorite hitting the ground.

Gu Shanhai just stared blankly; he couldn’t stop a damn thing.

At the very least, it would take someone at the Divine Phase to stop it. Given the size of the meteorite and judging by the distance, it was roughly one-tenth the size of the moon. Since this world was rather large, perhaps it wouldn’t cause too much of a commotion. However, they certainly wouldn’t be able to get far enough away in time.

"I’ll notify the Sect Leader, let him intercept it," Gu Shanhai sighed.

At this point, they had no choice but to rely on someone more powerful.

The meteorite’s impact wouldn’t affect Chengyun Sect, with the sturdiness of its Mountain Gate Array; at most it would stir up some dust.

As for other places, that didn’t really matter.

And the changes in the environment and climate were much the same; the power unleashed by someone at the Peeping Dao Stage in battle was even greater, causing more significant changes.

"So you mean to say, on a whim, you felt there might be an opportunity, and then you looked up to see Sky Star hurtling towards your East Floating Mountain?" Yun Yu asked somewhat skeptically through the jade talisman.

"Yes, can you send someone to intercept it?" Gu Shanhai inquired.

It was quite normal for Yun Yu not to have seen the meteorite. The two were at least tens of millions of miles apart, and the jade talismans used for communication were extremely precious magical items.

"I’ll do my best to arrange that, but rather than intercepting Sky Star, it might be more practical for me to send a large force to extract you," Yun Yu couldn’t quite grasp Gu Shanhai’s reasoning.

After some thought, Gu Shanhai agreed, "Alright, but you need to arrange for someone to retrieve Sky Star."

"Just that doing so might cause quite a commotion, and given the current madness of the Juxia Sect and the Feather Transformation Sect, many disciples could end up dead. It doesn’t seem quite worth it."

Sending people to retrieve him would certainly not involve just one or two people—it was a large force being discussed, which meant a large number.

"I’ll pull three God Slayer Mechas along with five Supreme Elders. Even if we have to fight to the bitter end, we’ll be able to bring you back," said Yun Yu calmly, as if deploying three God Slayer Mechas and five individuals at the Peeping Dao Stage, along with a significant number of disciples, was a worthwhile trade to get Gu Shanhai back.

In fact, it was indeed the case. If it hadn’t been for Gu Shanhai, the Chengyun Sect would surely not have prevailed this time.

Moreover, with the God Slayer Mechas, those at the Peeping Dao Stage were no longer irreplaceable.

"Hold on, where did you get three God Slayer Mechas? I remember we only built one, and even if you put in extra work these days, you could at most rush another one into production," Gu Shanhai asked with some confusion.

"Initially, we built five test units, not just one. It was just kept secret from you," Yun Yu said lightly.

Gu Shanhai felt even more dumbfounded. Yun Yu was more of a gambler than himself; he had only authorized the construction of one test unit, worried about a failure. Yet Yun Yu and the entire Chengyun Sect had more confidence than him and went straight for a fivefold increase.

Fortunately, the gamble paid off. At this stage, there were at least five, maybe even six God Slayer Mechas on the frontal battlefield.

He suspected that Yun Yu pulled half of the God Slayer Mechas for this mission.

With the God Slayer Mechas being able to take on multiple enemies and the addition of five Supreme Elders, they would surely be able to bring Gu Shanhai back to the Chengyun Sect in one piece.

"Sect Leader, won’t reallocating forces like this affect the battle situation?" Gu Shanhai hesitated before asking.

"Stop dawdling more than I do. It’s settled; I’ll notify the team immediately," Yun Yu didn’t answer directly, but Gu Shanhai understood. The move would undoubtedly impact the battle, but to Yun Yu and the entire upper echelon of the Chengyun Sect, Gu Shanhai’s strategic value far outweighed the current battle situation.

Even if it meant being at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, they had to ensure Gu Shanhai’s safety.

Gu Shanhai had planned to say more, but realized Yun Yu had already hung up.

"Bai Lv, you have ten breaths to pack up; we’re leaving." After speaking, Gu Shanhai stuffed Little White into the Magic Pet pocket and picked up Shen An. The Azure Dragon was always inside the Nine States Instrument, so there was no worry about that.

Nothing else mattered; the Five Elements Sect had little value and could be rebuilt next time they returned.

"Master, the homework, the homework, I just finished it today," Shen An was also in a rush. He had just completed three pounds of homework that very day; if they left without it, he’d have to start all over again.

"You have a holiday today; we can discuss it tomorrow," Gu Shanhai also knew the child’s thoughts. Shen An didn’t interact much with outsiders, so the homework assigned by Gu Shanhai was one of his most treasured possessions, especially since he had just finished it—it was extremely valuable.

Of course, more precious was the holiday given by Gu Shanhai. He previously had a five-day workweek with two days off, and now an extra day’s respite made his eyes light up.

With the holiday and no homework to worry about, his mood improved significantly.

"Holy shit, Brother Shen and his wife!" Gu Shanhai, looking at Shen An, suddenly remembered that he had overlooked two people. In an instant, he went to the back mountain and dug up the ashes of the couple who had been buried there for ten years. They were good friends, after all; he couldn’t just forget about them. He had to take their remains with him so Shen An could pay respects to them on holidays in the future.
