It was already midnight in the Secret Realm, and the surroundings were pitch black and silent.
Ye Lin stood on a large tree, deep in thought.
“Given my current destiny, the chances of me finding an Opportunity on my own are slim; not just slim, but virtually nonexistent.”
Ye Lin was very confident about his destiny. Forget about Opportunities, just living a good life was a luxury.
“No, I must find someone. It would be best if I could encounter Lin Zisheng. Before the Phoenix Nirvana Art entered the Secret Realm, Lin Zisheng didn’t show that he would obtain this Secret Realm.”
“In other words, over time, the panel will only display more important Opportunities. So now, if I could take a look at Lin Zisheng’s Secret Realm, I would definitely get rich.”
“However, let’s first check my panel. Lin Zisheng will look for me in the Secret Realm, which will let me see when.”
Name: Ye Lin
Cultivation: Qi Training Eighth Layer
Destiny: Black (Plagued by Misfortune)
Fate: 【Misfortune】, 【Divine Comprehension】
Fortune: The matter of you defeating Lin Ziyou was learned by Lin Ziyou’s elder brother, Personal Disciple Lin Zisheng. Lin Zisheng was enraged and, five minutes later, attempted to assassinate you in the Inner Sect Secret Realm. You were completely unprepared and were severely injured by Lin Zisheng. At the critical moment, you used a Sword Talisman to escape.
Recent Opportunities: None
【Misfortune】: Your Luck is poor. For example, you will always trip when walking, and your spouse will always cheat on you if you marry.
【Divine Comprehension】: Your Comprehension Ability is transcendent. You are extremely fast at comprehending various Cultivation Techniques. For the same Cultivation Technique, others might need three months, while you only need a few days.
After reading the panel, Ye Lin’s muscles tensed. Five minutes? Did that mean Lin Zisheng had already discovered him?
At this moment, Ye Lin quickly jumped down from the tree into the bushes and looked around.
“I’ve already found you. Come out.”
Ye Lin held a Sword Talisman in his hand and spoke to a dark spot in front of him.
At this, the bushes ahead rustled, and Lin Zisheng, dressed in white, emerged from the bushes with a long sword in hand.
“I’m very curious, how did you discover me?”
Lin Zisheng held his long sword, seemingly no longer in a hurry to act.
“You already discovered me in the cave, didn’t you?”
Hearing this, Lin Zisheng laughed heartily.
“Hahaha, indeed. What keen perception! However, today will be your death day.”
As early as in the cave, he had already discovered Ye Lin hiding in the ruins. A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator’s perception was astonishing; his perception could completely cover the entire small cave.
“Die.”
Having said that, Lin Zisheng wasted no words and immediately launched a full-power strike. In his eyes, Ye Lin was merely a passerby, not worthy of his attention.
Just kill him, and that was it.
“You want to kill me? In your next life, perhaps. Here’s a surprise for you.”
Ye Lin’s lips curled into a smile, and he directly threw out the Sword Talisman. The next moment, a blazing Sword Light flashed through space.
“Nine Swords of Blazing Heaven, Slash!”
Lin Zisheng roared, shattering the Sword Light in front of him with a single sword strike, but Ye Lin’s figure had already vanished.
“Concept… it’s actually Concept.”
At this moment, traces of blood appeared on Lin Zisheng’s right arm. He was injured. He never expected that this sword strike would actually contain Concept. That Concept was moving up his arm towards his heart.
“Ye Lin, right? Very well. If I don’t kill you, it will be hard to quell my hatred today.”
Lin Zisheng roared, then sat on the ground to suppress the Sword Intent within his body.
“He shouldn’t be able to catch up now, right?”
Ye Lin, who had been running for three hours straight, stopped by a river. In front of him was a transparent panel.
Name: Lin Zisheng
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Initial Stage
Destiny: Yellow
Fate: 【Transcendent Luck】, 【Sword Dao Leader】, 【Divine Comprehension】, 【Son of Heaven’s Favor】, 【Great Power Reincarnation】
Fortune: You will experience many hardships along the way, eventually Breakthrouging to the Great Ascension Stage and becoming one of the Great Powers of the Human Race. When you finally achieve Immortal Ascension, you will be struck down by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Recent Opportunity 1: Tomorrow, the Heavenly Palace will descend. Tomorrow, under the Tiger God Statue on the third path of the Heavenly Palace, you will obtain a Profound Rank High-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
Recent Opportunity 2: Tomorrow, under the Dragon God Statue on the third path of the Heavenly Palace, you will obtain an Earth Rank Low Grade Illusion Technique, Magic Shadow Without Trace.
Recent Opportunity 2: One month later, you will descend the mountain to eliminate demons. On Mount Baiduan, you will be attacked by an evil demon and fall off a cliff. Beneath the cliff, you will obtain a Profound Rank High-Grade Spiritual Fruit, the shuofeng fruit. After consuming it, your Cultivation will greatly advance, and you will step into the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in one fell swoop.
Recent Opportunity 3: One and a half months later, in the Yuanbao Shop of Golden City’s antique market, you will purchase the only dilapidated vase at a low price. After breaking it, an ancient mural will be hidden inside. After comprehending it, you will obtain an ancient immortal art, One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.
【Transcendent Luck】: Your Luck is extremely good. You always pick up Opportunities along the way, and even if you encounter a life-or-death crisis, you can turn danger into safety.
【Sword Dao Leader】: A natural talent for cultivating the sword. You have a superhuman understanding of the Sword Dao, and you progress rapidly on the path of the Sword Dao.
【Divine Comprehension】: Your Comprehension Ability is transcendent. You are extremely fast at comprehending various Cultivation Techniques. For the same Cultivation Technique, others might need three months, while you only need a few days.
【Son of Heaven’s Favor】: You are favored by the Heavenly Dao’s Luck. On the path of Cultivation, there are no Bottlenecks to speak of. Breaking through is as simple as eating and drinking.
【Great Power Reincarnation】: You are the Reincarnation of a Great Power from the Immortal Realm, but your Divine Soul was damaged along the way, and your memories were sealed. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, your memories will be unsealed, and from then on, you will be like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, having smooth sailing all the way.
“The Heavenly Palace descends tomorrow?”
Looking at Lin Zisheng’s panel, Ye Lin pondered. He didn’t know what the Heavenly Palace was, so he could only wait for the so-called Heavenly Palace to descend tomorrow.
“Lin Zisheng’s two Opportunities are both in the so-called Heavenly Palace. If there’s a big commotion, it will definitely attract other Disciples. At that time, even if I meet Lin Zisheng, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me.”
Ye Lin secretly mused.
Inner Sect Disciples held a transcendent status in the Qingyun Sect. Even if Personal Disciples firmly outranked Inner Sect Disciples, they would not dare to casually kill an Inner Sect Disciple.
If a Personal Disciple dared to kill an Inner Sect Disciple over a trivial matter, once discovered by the Qingyun Sect, they would be severely punished.
Ye Lin believed that Lin Zisheng, as a Son of Luck, would never do such a foolish thing.
“While the Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm is abundant, I’ll Cultivate first.”
After thinking this, Ye Lin sat on the ground and began to Cultivate. The surrounding Spiritual Qi rushed towards his body.
In the blink of an eye, a night passed.
In a thicket of bushes, Lin Zisheng opened his tired eyes.
“Damn it, it took an entire night just to barely suppress the Sword Intent. Ye Lin, I want you dead.”
Lin Zisheng’s face was filled with killing intent. Sword Intent had reached the Concept level, which his current Cultivation could not completely dispel; he could only temporarily suppress it.
He had spent the entire night trying his best to suppress the Sword Intent, lest it invade his heart. Otherwise, even Immortals would not be able to save him.
“Now that the Sword Intent has been temporarily suppressed, after I go out, I will ask Master to help me dispel it. But Ye Lin, you must die.”
At this moment, Lin Zisheng’s eyes were filled with killing intent. Since he began Cultivating, Ye Lin was the first person to injure him with a Qi Training Stage Cultivation.
“Hoo, after Cultivating for a night, I’m getting closer and closer to the Qi Training Ninth Layer. After I leave this Secret Realm, I’ll have to start preparing to Breakthroug to the Qi Training Ninth Layer.”
At this moment, Ye Lin opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, and murmured.
Boom!
At this moment, a loud bang came from the sky. Ye Lin looked up.
