“Holy shit! What the hell just happened over at Heavenly Secrets Peak?!”
“I think I saw a flash of sword light, and then the sky got split open!”
“Heavens above! That’s brutal! Who the hell did that?”
“I swear I saw Elder Sun heading to Heavenly Secrets Peak today. Was it him?”
“Wait a minute! Heavenly Secrets Peak?! You guys forgetting about Luo Yin?”
“Yeah! It couldn’t be Luo Yin, could it? Looks like he’s really risen up!”
“……”
At that moment, the disciples from the various peaks of Taiyi Holy Land were enjoying some rare downtime, so they had all naturally noticed that streak of sword scar in the sky.
As everyone buzzed with discussion, Luo Yin stood at the entrance of an exquisite pavilion on Heavenly Secrets Peak, gazing up at the heavens.
Ever since he’d gotten the storage ring from Luo Yin, he’d consumed the heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside, and his cultivation had truly started to grow!
He’d already recovered to the Body Tempering Realm Third Layer.
It wasn’t much, but he was satisfied.
Staring at the clouds in the sky that still hadn’t closed up, Su Chen couldn’t help muttering under his breath.
“Senior Brother Luo Yin? Looks like he’s found his own Dao. The sword… Maybe I should cultivate that too?”
“Sigh~ No idea where Shizun’s gone off to.”
“In the Holy Land Grand Competition, I’m definitely going to shine! I’ll show Shizun my true strength!”
……
Night fell.
The moon climbed high.
Ling Qingxue had already returned to her quarters, while Luo Yin stayed in his room, examining the Creation-Grade Technique the System had given him today.
This was currently his only Creation-Grade Technique.
Heaven-Sealing Fist!
Just the name alone made Luo Yin sense a thick aura of terror.
After studying it carefully, Luo Yin realized that the horror of this fist technique went far beyond mere Creation Grade.
It could even be combined with other arts.
For example, Luo Yin could merge the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art with the Heaven-Sealing Fist. One punch would carry the Ninth Heaven Divine Thunder, its power not quite reaching Divine Path Level but at least hitting half-step Divine Path.
However, right now, Luo Yin could only unleash thirty percent of the Heaven-Sealing Fist’s power.
He’d only just learned it, after all—not even reaching minor accomplishment.
He glanced at his Destiny Points: still 1300.
After a moment’s thought, Luo Yin said to the System, “System, raise my Heaven-Sealing Fist to minor accomplishment.”
【Ding! Consumed 1000 Destiny Points. Heaven-Sealing Fist (Minor Accomplishment)】
As the System’s voice faded, Luo Yin winced—it stung his heart.
1000 Destiny Points was still a hefty sum for him at the moment.
But minor accomplishment in Heaven-Sealing Fist wasn’t bad. At least he could now unleash fifty percent of its power.
Killing a Great Power Realm cultivator with one punch should be no problem.
“Whew! Seems like the techniques I have now are a bit too strong. Maybe I should find some less terrifying ones to use first?”
Luo Yin muttered to himself.
The techniques he had were overwhelmingly powerful, ill-suited for an event like the Holy Land Grand Competition.
Take Heaven-Sealing Fist: even one percent of its power might be too much for Taiyi Holy Land’s disciples to handle.
But without using techniques, it was questionable whether he could even qualify for the Profound Heaven Tower.
“There’s still two days until the Grand Competition anyway. I’ll head to the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow, grab a couple of ordinary techniques to mess around with, and look for some opportunities on the side.”
With that in mind, Luo Yin sat cross-legged.
Tonight, unusually, he didn’t sleep. Instead, he cultivated the Daoyan Demonic Canon.
The supreme mysteries contained within the Daoyan Demonic Canon were enough to occupy him for quite some time.
Just the first layer held a supreme divine ability waiting for him to uncover.
……
……
The next day.
Luo Yin awoke from his cultivation and glanced at the breakfast Ling Qingxue had made for him. The corner of his mouth twitched.
He shook his head. “Forget it. From now on, just don’t cook anymore.”
Ling Qingxue snorted coldly and shot him a glance. “Suits me just fine! Got anything planned today?”
“I’m heading to the Treasure Pavilion. If you don’t have anything, don’t wander off. Watch out—you might bump into the Holy Lord and get found out.”
Luo Yin cautioned her.
“Don’t forget to find me some heavenly materials and earthly treasures,” Ling Qingxue reminded him.
Luo Yin grinned at her. “What’s in it for me?”
Ling Qingxue’s fine brows furrowed. “What do you want?”
Luo Yin raised an eyebrow. “What do you think? I’m a man. It’s been days since last time—I’m pent up.”
“You!!!!”
Ling Qingxue’s cheeks flushed crimson as she gnashed her teeth and glared at Luo Yin.
“Hahaha!!! Just kidding. We’ll talk about the heavenly materials and earthly treasures when I get back!”
Seeing her like that put Luo Yin in high spirits. He laughed heartily and left.
Watching his retreating back, Ling Qingxue let out a wistful sigh.
“Sigh~ I wonder what karma I’ve racked up~”
……
……
Mystic Mechanism Peak.
Luo Yin’s figure appeared, and this time, everyone’s attitude was completely different from last time.
Previously, they’d gossiped behind his back with disdain and scorn.
Now, the looks they directed at Luo Yin were filled with fear!
Yes, fear!
After all, the one who’d defeated Sun Yangming with a sword was more than enough to inspire dread.
They never could have imagined that Sun Yangming, the top sword cultivator in the Northern Spirit Realm, would be beaten by a junior.
Luo Yin didn’t feel awkward about it. He strolled toward the Treasure Pavilion with his usual breezy demeanor.
Along the way, he observed everyone’s opportunity status.
Unfortunately, none of them had great opportunities.
But soon enough, the person with a great opportunity appeared right in front of Luo Yin.
“Senior Brother! You’re here too?”
“Yeah, looking for techniques?”
Luo Yin looked at Su Chen, who was greeting him, and nearly laughed.
Su Chen was surrounded by divine rainbows, with red fluorescent light gathering around him—a symbol of a great opportunity.
This was the first time Luo Yin had encountered a red opportunity!
The Child of Destiny lived up to his name. Even after Luo Yin had whittled away nearly a thousand of his Luck Value, his chances of great opportunities were still higher than most.
“Mm! My strength recovered a bit these past few days, but my old techniques won’t work anymore, so I figured I’d find some suitable ones.”
Su Chen nodded.
Luo Yin inclined his head slightly. “Alright, want to go together?”
“Sure!”
Su Chen agreed, and the two entered the Treasure Pavilion together.
Luo Yin took the chance to start divining Su Chen’s future.
【Day 1: Su Chen enters the Treasure Pavilion to seek techniques and comprehends a three-level variable technique, Indestructible Golden Body Art, from the Arhat True Scripture—heavenly human, Creation, and Divine Path levels.】
【Day 2: Su Chen obtains medicinal ingredients from Martial Pill Peak, soaks his body in them, and cultivates the Indestructible Golden Body Art to the first heaven.】
【Day 3: Su Chen shines in the Holy Land Grand Competition.】
【Day 4: Su Chen continues cultivating Indestructible Golden Body Art and defeats a Heavenly Demon Sect disciple in the Grand Competition, earning a chance to enter the Profound Heaven Tower.】
【Day 5: Su Chen sets off with Holy Land elders toward the Dayan Dynasty.】
【Day 6: Su Chen arrives at the Dayan Dynasty and buys a slave girl named Ling’er at the Golden Dawn Auction House. Ling’er is the Female Emperor reincarnated, memories and strength unawakened.】
【Day 7: Su Chen enters the Profound Heaven Tower……】
【……】
This divination spanned fifteen days total, but after the seventh, it wasn’t important.
By then, what Su Chen gained in the Profound Heaven Tower would be tied to him personally—Luo Yin couldn’t snatch it even if he knew.
But these first six days held two great opportunities that truly shocked Luo Yin.
Never mind the three-level variable technique Indestructible Golden Body Art—the reincarnated Female Emperor maid alone was jaw-dropping!
The Female Emperor reincarnated!
And her memories hadn’t awakened yet.
With proper nurturing, she’d become a major asset in the future!
That Indestructible Golden Body Art was even more extraordinary—a three-level variable technique.
Such techniques typically had three major realms. Each realm advanced elevated the technique’s grade.
In other words, cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body Art to the late stage would turn it into a Divine Path Level technique!!
Luo Yin drew a deep breath, his gaze toward Su Chen sharpening with resolve.
He chuckled darkly to himself.
Sorry, dear Junior Brother. These two opportunities are too much for you to handle—Senior Brother will take them off your hands!
