With the assistance of the Messiah Tree, it was without a doubt that the curse that plauge this little beast is fully gone and won't even have to worry about it ever again.
And the best proof of that was the fact that the dark domain before is now nowhere to be seen.
Eventhough he's still basically stranger with this new contracted beast of his, Cole can't help but smile thinking of the fact that the curse was finally solved. The sight of strong psychological shadow he saw not long ago kind of made an impact to his heart.
Extracting the source of the bloodline curse is definitely take a heavy toll both mentally and physically. Cole already expected that the little child will be out for few days to recover.
After catching the falling white beast, Cole focus and summon the information panel of this new beast of his. And as he expected, with the curse extracted and gone, its name change from Whitecloud Sheep of Misfortune into-
Species Name : Whitestar Sacred Fate Guide Beast ♂️ Beast Name : Lucky Level : Seventh-Level Tier-5 Magical Beast (47%) Loyalty : 70% Potential : Divine Affinity : Fate Race : Beast/Fortune Sheep Innate : Fortune Cloud Halo Seeing Eye, Cocoon of Dark Fate, Fortune Guider Beast Skill : Misfortune Infection, Misfortune Plague, Fortune Cloud Step, Lucky Stumble, Sacred Fortunestar Blessing Concept : Fortune Divination
Fate was as rare and precious like Time. Cole did not skip any and check every piece of information about all the talent of his new contracted beast.
Innate :: Fortune Cloud Halo Seeing Eye A bloodline talent. Upon activation, see through the secret of Fate and divine the providence of the target through the form of cloud that represent their fortune. Black Fortune Cloud represent the lowest and often translated to misfortune while Golden Fortune Cloud is the highest.
Innate :: Cocoon of Dark Fate A sealed source of misfortune. Capable of absorbing all kinds of misfortune and karma connected to the user.
Innate :: Fortune Guider The fate of every creation is interconnected. Through a medium (like full name, personal item or the likes), be connected to the user through the true line of fates that can pierce through space, time and dimension. Through this fate lines, the caster can bless or plunder luck, or absorb or infect with bad luck.
Gasp!
After reading the information of this three innate skills, Cole can't help but gasp in surprise!
These Innate Skills... are all terrifying!
Not only it can gave fortune for every ally, it can also affect all the unknown enemy.
The first Innate Skill, the Fortune Cloud Halo Seeing Eye, are terrifying on its own right.
Among the long passage of time, there were no lack of genius and talented creature born. However, those that reach their full potential is as rare as Phoenix's feather and Qilin's horn.
That is because no matter how talented and gifted a cultivator is if they were so unlucky, like stumbling through powerful beast in the wild or suddenly entering a dangerous secret realm, they will be eliminated and buried in some unknown land.
As a matter of fact, if one were to ask those powerful cultivators that reach the zenith, the two important factor on their cultivation life is both their inborn talent and luck; and luck is full 80% and talent is only 20%.
Majority of those that reach the zenith is not talented but most of them where those considered lucky that they always luck it out when they stumble upon sudden dangers.
It could be said that most of the time, luck is more important than inborn heavenly talent.
Unfortunately, luck and fortune is not something that can be easily altered, just like how one won't be able to stop time eventhough they were aware of it. At the same time, luck and fortune is not something that can be easily seen through.
Yet, this Innate Skill can do that!
For a single person, this Innate Skill don't have that much signiface but for any organization or the likes, this skill can be considered divine!
Come to think of it; what will happen if all the members of the sect is full of lucky person? Not only they'll be able escape death, they can even stumble upon fated encounter and harvest many hidden heavenly treasures!
And should Cole decided to make his own organization, like building his own sect, this Innate Skill can play a massive role.
As for the second Innate Skill, this is definitely the after-work of Messiah Tree's action. Since he was aware of its source, Cole already have an idea of what's its terrifying capability. Not only a powerful bloodline curse is sealed into it, the source of misfortune is also sealed inside it. Not to say that it was actually a True-Rank Source Treasure' Ethereal Cursedfate Crystal sealed inside.
And its ability to absorb misfortune and the likes is as powerful as it sound.
At some cases, a simple misfortune could change ones life that it can even lead to someone's death. And this so called Cocoon of Darkness can absorb that strange force. In other words, this Innate Skill is capable of altering someone's predestined fate.
It was more powerful than Cole initially thought. As a matter of fact, this ability sounds more better than prediction and divination.
But the prospect that Cole is most excited about this ability is that its capability to absorb bad karma!
It's known that one's karma can affect one cultivation, specially in the one's Heavenly Tribulation. Better karma can reduce its difficulty and vice versa.
That is to say, with this ability, Cole will now have the capability to reduce the difficulty of one's tribulation.
And if Cole were to talk of what he worried the most when it to comes to Heavenly Tribulation, it was without a doubt Celia! Her strange and mysterious comprehended [Concept] is bound to give her huge amount of bad karma and this ability can alleviate or reduce, if not fully resolving, it when the time comes!
Thinking of this, Cole can't help but nod his head in happiness.
In addition to this new surprise and with Blue and his assistance to coming Celia's Heavenly Tribulation, perhaps she can finally succeed. But he still need to anticipate that her Heavenly Tribulation will be difficult.
This second Innate Ability will play a vital role in Cole and his allies cultivation life.
Aa for the third Innate Skill, Fortune Guider, this solve the distance restriction of Whitestar Sacred Fate Guider Beast and open up countless possibilities!
For instance, as an individual, he won't stand a chance should he have a direct encounter to his enemies, or at the least the current him.
As of now, he already made and mark many enemies. And not just any enemies but a whole group or sect of them. It includes but not limited to Beast Taming Sect and the Red Skull Bandits that's probably the true powerhouse behind them.
And in this current exploration of him, he already made an enemy out of Poltergeist Cult too since Levi, the disciple of the said sect, recognize him along with the will of the sect's ancestor that save him from true death.
And should what happen in this medicinal garden spread outside and both the Corpse Refining Sect and Blood Demon's Creed learn of it, he's also bound to face a trouble from them.
For the meantime, he don't have the capability to face them head-on but this Fate Guider can gave them a massive trouble in the dark!
Voiding of distance is its greatest power!
Misfortune...
If Cole is not wrong, demonic cultivators usually hide themselves and move covertly due to the fact that righteous path cultivator roam the land. They might be powerful due to the eccentric art they practice and usually win on one on one battle but righteous path cultivators are numerous.
But what will happen if they were affected with curse of misfortune?
Perhaps they might stumble on some unknown rock on the road and send their own selves in front of crowd of righteous path cultivators...
Bad luck works on such terrifying way!
The combination of this three Innate Skills is almost perfect that Cole believe that it was the best.
Afterwards, he check next the information of the skills.
The first two skills is as simple as it names. Misfortune Infection is single-target curse skill while Misfortune Plauge is the AOE version in which its main effect was to debuff, but more like a cursing ability, target/s with misfortune force. The said misfortune will mess everything and bring them bad luck until the said force is exhausted or purified.
Fortune Cloud Step [Active] Our feet carry us towards the unknown path and always tread on dangerous path. By condensing a fortune cloud and attaching on target's feet, steps will bring good luck and avoid treading on misfortunate path.
Lucky Stumble [Passive] Whitestar Sacred Fate Guide Beast is a lucky beast that won't ever be inflicted with simple unluckiness of tripping but everytime it stumble, it means that something lucky will happen.
Sacred Fortunestar Blessing [Active] Condense a shining starlight made of fortune that will bring luck to target.
Concept : Fortune Divination • (27.3%) Increase the damage, effect and control of Fate-affinity based attacks, abilities and skills by 273%. • (Providence Divination) See through other's fateful encounter in the near future through their fortune cloud. • (Effect Premonition) The future is unknown and prone to any possible changes but peeking through heavenly secrets and changing the predestined fate will bring either better outcome or catastrophic event. The intent of the caster when using Providence Divination will change the fortune cloud of affected target. • (Menacing Black Cloud of Death) When the fortune cloud turn dark with no other speck of color, it signify true death!
Living through its name as fortune beast, all the skills of his new contracted beast revolve around bringing a blessing or curse of fortune. The skills further amplified the luck of this beast.
And upon reading its [Concept], it was apparent that it was the influence of its father's blood, the bloodline of Fate Ponderer beast. And clearly, it was the fusion of both fortune and divination, thus the name Fortune Divination.
However, just like its name, it was limited to divining someone's fortune, unlike its father that could probably divine anything under the heaven.
But no one can deny that its significance was not in any way lower.
As a matter of fact, due to the fact that it focus on one thing, it was more powerful than some aspect. At the least, even an all-powerful diviner can't accurately predict and read someone's fortune.
The same as the other skills and abilities, the capability of this [Concept] is terrifying on its own right. As a matter of fact, in Cole's opinion, this [Concept] is on par, or even more powerful, than Moment Queen's [Time Control].
Everyone had their own fortune destined to them. Perhaps not everyone had the chance to encounter a heaven defying treasure in their whole lifetime but the world doesn't lack people or creature with protagonists halo like Gu Xi. They were those person that is blessed by the fate with heaven defying luck that they always avoid death, encounter a rare heavenly treasures and grow with vast experience.
Should Cole and Lucky utilize this abilities right, they can acquire rare treasures while also gaining the favor of fate-blessed individuals.
All of its given information is self explanatory but Cole would only know its effect after he saw it himself.
Unfortunately, this new contracted beast of his have yet to soulbound contract to him and he can't receive all of the insight of the said [Concept] through [Soul Fruit].
For the meantime, Cole will have to rely to Lucky on this matter as he don't have the ability to mimic the abilities of [Concept] without having the same.
After the capability of his new contracted beast, Cole send Lucky inside the [Inner World] and put it down beside the Messiah Tree. The damage he recieve were from its beast bloodline and Messiah Tree had a amazing healing effect on this matter.
