Chapter 101: Junior Sister, You Can Stay Here for Now
As the flood dragon vanished and the mist dispersed, the Sea of Sense opened! Wen Zhixing felt a sudden spiritual exhilaration! An unprecedented sense of ease swept over his entire body. He had officially entered the Mysterious Might Realm. In this realm, one must establish a soul platform within the Sea of Sense and completely disperse the mist hovering above it, ensuring one's mind remains untainted. All spells would then flow naturally from the heart, and the divine soul could wander freely.
The next moment, Wen Zhixing felt darkness engulf his vision as his consciousness arrived in a peculiar place. This place bore some resemblance to the Sea of Qi, except the Sea of Qi had now truly become an ocean of Spiritual Qi, while this new area was merely a small lake. Sea of Sense.
The waters of the Sea of Sense were jade-like in their clarity, spanning only a few dozen feet in diameter, and within them flowed the power of Divine Consciousness. This lake was still enveloped by mist. Once more of this mist was dispersed, the Sea of Sense could expand further. This mist, after being refined, can also transform into Divine Consciousness Power. After a period of observation, Wen Zhixing slowly nodded. Even without active cultivation, his Sea of Sense was now slowly consuming this mist, albeit at an extremely slow pace.
I am also a cultivator of the Mysterious Might Realm now. Wen Zhixing opened his eyes, a joyful expression on his face. He felt as though his entire being had become significantly more relaxed. Previously, when he performed spell techniques, there had been a somewhat obscure, cumbersome feeling. But now, things were different. He experienced a sensation of his heart's intentions translating directly into action. In the future, his attacks would also be imbued with Divine Consciousness Power, greatly enhancing his strength.
Right, I haven't opened the Fortune Fragments collected this week yet. Wen Zhixing was about to rest when he suddenly recalled the Fortune Fragments. Throughout his closed-door cultivation, he hadn't forgotten to dispatch the Life Defying Blood Body to gather them. Over seven days, he had expended three and a half years of his life-span and collected fragments 21 times.
[Current life-span: 246.]
[Gray Fortune Fragments +13. Current Gray Fortune Fragments: 12/1.]
[White Fortune Fragments +3. Current White Fortune Fragments: 3/2.]
[Blue Fortune Fragments +3. Current Blue Fortune Fragments: 3/3.]
[Purple Fortune Fragments +2. Current Purple Fortune Fragments: 3/4.]
This harvest... Seeing these Fortune Fragments, Wen Zhixing was momentarily tongue-tied. His luck this time was far better than during his stint at the Wonderous Palace; he had even managed to obtain two Purple Fortune Fragments. It hadn't been a waste of so many years of his life-span. The usual rule: open the Gray Fortune Fragments first.
[A Gray Fortune Fragment (1/1) has been collected. No synthesis is required. You can obtain one of the following fortunes:]
[One: Obtain the spiritual grass Blue Silver Grass.]
[Two: Obtain 1 Fortune Point.]
[Three: Obtain a fortune belonging to Tang Shan.]
As expected, most of what these Gray Fortune Fragments offer is useless. Wen Zhixing sighed. After some consideration, he decided against taking any risks and chose the Fortune Point, which seemed more appropriate.
[Fortune Point +1.]
Subsequently, Wen Zhixing quickly opened the remaining Gray Fortune Fragments. Among the options were some decent choices, including Spiritual Instruments and elixirs, and even a [Limb Regeneration] constitution. Honestly, this constitution would be very potent for others, but Wen Zhixing had no use for it. Ultimately, all the Gray Fortune Fragments were opened, and he converted all rewards into Fortune Points.
[Fortune Points +13. Current Fortune Points: 45.]
These Fortune Points are still a bit too few. Wen Zhixing frowned slightly. Currently, almost everything he possessed was of White Quality. Upgrading an item once required at least 100 Fortune Points. Frankly, Fortune Points were indeed in short supply. Let's open the other fortunes first. Wen Zhixing shook his head and proceeded to open the White Fortune Fragments.
[Synthesis for a White Fortune is ready (Fragments possessed: 3, Fragments needed: 2). Consume one month's life-span to synthesize and obtain one of the following fortunes:]
[One: Obtain the Spiritual Instrument Black Bone Knife.]
[Two: Obtain 7 Fortune Points.]
[Three: Obtain the Fortune of Chen Yu.]
A Spiritual Instrument? Wen Zhixing's recently relaxed brows furrowed once more. He already had a pile of White Quality Spiritual Instruments in his Universe Belt. Although there was a slim possibility of obtaining a Blue Quality Spiritual Instrument, the probability was extremely low. Option two or three? After a moment's hesitation, Wen Zhixing chose the 7 Fortune Points. Rewards from White Fortune syntheses typically yielded only 5 Fortune Points, sometimes just 4, so obtaining 7 was quite good.
[Fortune Points +7. Current Fortune Points: 52.]
And now for the last one, the Blue Fortune.
[Synthesis for a Blue Fortune is ready (Fragments possessed: 3, Fragments needed: 3). Consume one month's life-span to synthesize and obtain one of the following fortunes:]
[One: Obtain the constitution: Innate Spiritual Body.]
[Two: Obtain 60 Fortune Points.]
[Three: Obtain the Fortune of Yan Junxi.]
Innate Spiritual Body? This time, Wen Zhixing was so surprised he almost jumped to his feet. He was indeed familiar with this "Innate Spiritual Body" constitution. It was a congenital cultivation constitution; while others needed to progress through the Shedding Mortal Realm, those possessing this constitution did not. Moreover, their cultivation speed was incredibly fast, allowing them to absorb Spiritual Qi at a rate several times, perhaps even ten times, that of ordinary people. It seems pretty useless to me, he frowned again. Another constitution that was useless for him. No matter how rapid the Spiritual Qi absorption, it could never surpass his Purgatory Furnace. It seems Fortune Points are more suitable, Wen Zhixing mused. Should I risk it with option three, or choose the 60 Fortune Points? After much deliberation: Fortune Points it is. Right now, he wasn't lacking anything in particular except for Fortune Points. That being the case, it was better to play it safe. Sixty Fortune Points—he had never seen such a large amount from a single reward before.
[Fortune Points +60. Current Fortune Points: 112.]
Finally broke a hundred! Wen Zhixing felt a surge of joy. This time, he had converted all rewards into Fortune Points. He had initially intended to directly upgrade the Eternal Youth Formula, but after some careful consideration, he decided to hold off. No rush. His life-span was still plentiful. Better to save the Fortune Points for now.
CREAK.
Wen Zhixing rose to his feet and pushed open the door to his room. A week had passed since he joined the Righteous Sun Sect, and this was his first time stepping out. In early spring, the peaks of the Righteous Sun Sect were a beautiful sight, half verdant green and half still a leaden gray. This was the transition of seasons, the interchange of life and death, of Yin and Yang. The spring breeze caressed his face, bringing with it a refreshing sensation that inevitably lifted one's spirits. Currently, he was still merely an outer sect disciple of the Righteous Sun Sect, which meant he was largely unsupervised and could do as he pleased.
Just then, his heart actually stirred—not because of a thought, but a physical sensation. Hmm, the Twin Venomous Worm is stirring. Wen Zhixing was immediately taken aback. He quickly understood the implication. The other worm is approaching? How could this be? Wen Zhixing was astonished. At this moment, the Twin Venomous Worm within him had indeed sensed the presence of its counterpart. Is Si Nanyan coming? Could it really be? He had previously blocked his Twin Venomous Worm's signal, preventing Si Nanyan from detecting his whereabouts. She, however, had not blocked hers. Unaware that Wen Zhixing's venomous worm had transformed, she likely assumed the loss of connection was temporary. Just then, two figures slowly appeared ahead.
"Yourong, you haven't returned to the sect in many years. You can stay here for now," one of them said.
