The conversation between the Supreme Family Elders of the Ban Family and the Hermit of the One Dao changed Ban Ji and transformed the entire Ban Family.
After intense discussions lasting three days and nights, the Supreme Family Elders made a significant decision—to fully support Ban Ji’s rise as king!
They secretly activated the Clan Fate Mechanism Chain, tightly linking the fortunes of the Ban Family and Ban Ji to form the closest relationship, where one’s success is the success of all, and one’s loss is the loss of all.
This became the family’s greatest secret!
They continually used the Treasure of the Hermit of the One Dao to divine the path ahead for Ban Ji.
Ban Ji also rapidly grew along the calculated path, maintaining a good relationship with the family despite cultivating the Demon Path and frequently having outrageous behaviors.
For this session of the Feiyun Conference, the Ban Family and Ban Ji started their preparations more than a decade ago.
Whatever was foreseen, they prepared accordingly.
Of course, due to the time interval being relatively long, sometimes the earlier calculated result contradicted the later calculated result.
Divination is merely a form of computation and deduction; the actual operational result in the real world can be altered by many unexpected factors.
Several years ago, the Supreme Family Elders used the Clan Fate Mechanism Chain to calculate the initiation ground of Ban Ji’s King’s Order, which was at the Main Mountain Gate of the Myriad Images Sect. The time was set for this session of the Feiyun Conference.
After that, all subsequent divination led to this result.
Qinghuangzi’s inheritance [Empty Valley Sound Green Mechanism Tube], Che Zhuzi’s Void Spider Silk, and the Blind Fool’s Blind Fool Divine Skill were all resources for Ban Ji’s cultivation and the fuel for the formal burst of the King’s Order...
Besides the Xingyun Trial, there were various tasks during the official arrival at the Feiyun Conference.
The family also thoughtfully arranged the order of acquiring these opportunities for Ban Ji. Frequent divinations continuously depleted the family’s Lifespan, secretly consuming vast resources, and paying an extremely heavy price.
The Ban Family appeared glamorous from the outside, but providing for Ban Ji nearly emptied the family treasury.
Fortunately, this was the final investment period; once the King’s Order officially burst forth, its power would become evident. By then, sitting at home, blessings would come from the skies. Everything will flow smoothly, the money god will bless them, and even in minor obstacles, calamities would turn into blessings, and misfortunes into fortunes.
The Ban Family’s decades of cost-no-object investment would finally enter the harvest period.
Mechanical Cave Mansion.
Ban Ji, drenched in sweat, was gritting his teeth, cutting away the mechanical abnormality at the end of his right leg.
Blood spurted out a little, but the wound was immediately sealed by Mana, nearly stopping the bleeding instantly.
Ban Ji employed healing methods.
His technique was exceptionally skilled, almost instinctive.
There was no other choice; he had undergone this scenario far too many times.
Quickly, his right leg grew again, the newly formed piece of skin distinctly paler than other parts.
Ban Ji moved his lower leg, ankle, and toes, weakly standing up.
He approached a mechanism aggregate the size of a carriage compartment in front of him, cautiously taking out a scroll and infusing it with Mana.
The scroll emitted countless tiny Runes, which surrounded the vicinity, forming a three-dimensional Array that encapsulated the mechanism aggregate.
Afterward, Ban Ji murmured to himself, amplifying the Mana infusion, causing countless Runes to flash radiantly, fully activating the Array, the brilliance dazzling the eyes, but soon disappeared.
Along with the disappearance of the Array, also vanished Ban Ji’s right lower leg.
The scroll became heavy, several times more than before. Countless Runes formed circles, with the center being a mechanism illustration resembling a carriage compartment, growing a huge iron hand beneath it. The whole mechanism emitted strands of purple intent.
And this purple intent had already started to seep, erode the surrounding Runes.
The Runes were temporarily solid, but Ban Ji knew very well that these Runes could last at most a few months before collapsing. By then, he would have to reapply an Array for sealing.
Of course, that wouldn’t be his problem but the family’s affair.
From more than a decade ago, Ban Ji had been employing various methods to suppress his Immortal Aptitude, The Myriad Prostrate Fiend-Beasts. He allowed it to activate only after certain periods, exerting its power.
Each time The Myriad Prostrate Fiend-Beasts acted up, Ban Ji’s body would mutate, forming an eerie and terrifying mechanism aggregate object.
These mechanism aggregate objects were essentially subjected to the rationale infusion of Mechanical Techniques, Demon Sect, and Monster Path. They seemed eerie and harmful but were actually of considerable high value.
They were equivalent to volumes of Secret Books and classics, recording three aspects of rationale, gifted by heaven!
It was because of The Myriad Prostrate Fiend-Beasts Immortal Aptitude that these heavenly gifted rationales were carried in Ban Ji’s flesh.
Over the span of more than a decade, the number of these flesh-and-blood bibliographies approached ten thousand.
Ban Ji had not successfully read a single "bibliography".
"If it were just the rationale of Mechanical Techniques and Demon Sect, ordinary people could peruse and learn. Unfortunately, the Monster Path is mixed in the middle... Sigh!"
Ban Ji sighed deeply, rolling up the sealed scroll, temporarily placing it into his bosom.
His eyes shone with brilliance, pondering, "This time, overcoming the activation of Immortal Aptitude was much easier than before."
"All thanks to the Blind Fool Divine Skill."
"Hehe. The world thinks I wield the Blind Fool Divine Skill for dealing with others. In actuality, using it on myself is my true intention!"
By previous measures, Ban Ji needed to cut off at least two legs, sometimes even severing at the waist and abolishing the lower body, to finally endure a round of rationale infusion.
Yet this time, Ban Ji had only severed the right leg, not the whole.
The help provided by the Blind Fool Divine Skill was truly enormous, clearly visible!
"Father sacrificed nearly all family assets, risking his pride, to activate multiple Clan Fate Mechanism Chains, to divine my path ahead."
