"Mm, this system was pretty good. Not only did it make me look good, it was also sensible. It considered everything for its host."
"It automatically upgraded everything about its host—otherwise, even its conscience wouldn't let it rest."
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, he seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.
Boom!
Seven-colored auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in midair, and a ten-thousand-zhang Seven-Clawed Golden Dragon came riding the clouds and mist.
It was incomparably domineering, its dragon might vast and mighty!
The Golden Dragon's eyes, each as large as a small mountain, looked down upon all living beings with overwhelming pressure. Golden light blazed from its entire body, and its terrifying aura enveloped all of Misty Peak.
Around the Golden Dragon, the void visibly cracked and twisted at high speed, as though this stretch of space simply could not bear its pressure.
That was right—it was the Fortune Golden Dragon bestowed by the system.
What was fortune?
It was destiny and luck!
For a sect, fortune was of the utmost importance. Its rise and decline depended entirely upon it.
Across the entire Divine Continent Realm, whether great sects or small, they all sought treasures to suppress their sect's fortune, hoping their sect would prosper forever, their luck remain unimpeded, and their legacy pass down through countless generations.
It was the symbol of a sect!
Now that the Divine Sword Sect possessed this Seven-Clawed Fortune Golden Dragon, its fortune would surely flourish without decline from this day onward. The sect's people would encounter endless opportunities, and their path of martial cultivation would naturally be smooth and unobstructed.
The sect would rise because of it.
The Fortune Golden Dragon circled above Misty Peak, its incomparably domineering and majestic eyes seemingly surveying its new territory.
Soon, the Fortune Golden Dragon's gaze fell upon Lin Feng. Its supremely imposing expression softened, even revealing a hint of affection.
Lin Feng nodded with a faint smile and lightly waved his hand. "Go."
At that moment, he could clearly sense a close connection between himself and the Fortune Golden Dragon.
The Fortune Golden Dragon seemed to sense it as well. It gave a low dragon cry, then its ten-thousand-zhang body coiled around all of Misty Peak. It soon turned illusory and, within moments, vanished into Misty Peak's main peak, secretly suppressing the Divine Sword Sect's fortune.
A moment later, Lin Feng opened the system's sect building distribution map interface.
He clearly saw that the side of the Sect Gate was marked with the Mountain Protecting Array and the Sect-Suppressing Divine Stele.
Not long afterward, he arrived at the Sect Gate.
Looking at the upgraded Sect Gate, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction before silently reciting, "Activate the Mountain Protecting Array and the Sect-Suppressing Divine Stele."
His words became law!
A mysterious and domineering invisible energy abruptly appeared around the Sect Gate.
The moment it appeared, it spread through the entire Divine Sword Sect at astonishing speed.
Soon, the main peak responded and the side peaks moved in concert, pillars of light shooting into the sky one after another.
A moment later, the phenomenon vanished, but an enormous energy barrier appeared over the entire Divine Sword Sect—a barrier only Lin Feng could see.
This was the Mountain Protecting Array!
With the Mountain Protecting Array's support, the Divine Sword Sect became different once more.
From afar, the entire Divine Sword Sect was shrouded in misty vapors, half-hidden and half-revealed, like a true heavenly palace!
This array was called the Heavenly Dipper Earthly Fiend Star Array. Not only was it a defensive formation, it was also an offensive formation. Its transformations were innumerable and could be adjusted at will, possessing unfathomable power like that of gods and ghosts.
It could be called an all-purpose formation!
If any martial artist dared to force their way into the Divine Sword Sect, there was no doubt they would be slain by this array.
As the Mountain Protecting Array took shape, a stone stele descended from the heavens and crashed down three zhang beside the Sect Gate, taking root upon landing.
The entire stele was black as ink and utterly unremarkable.
Yet if one looked at it for a few moments longer, it would give them an extremely terrifying feeling.
Only Lin Feng knew that this was no ordinary stone stele, but a genuine divine stele.
Its wonders were boundless. Not only did it complement the Mountain Protecting Array and allow it to slay invading enemies, it could also test sect disciples' talent, spiritual roots, loyalty or treachery, goodness or evil.
"Not bad."
Lin Feng was greatly satisfied. He swept his gaze over the Mountain Protecting Array and the Sect-Suppressing Divine Stele, then nodded.
Then he returned directly to Xuanhuang Hall on the main peak.
He could no longer hold it in and burst into hearty laughter.
"This system truly deserved to be called the System That Defies Heaven for Mortals. It really defied heaven. I loved it, I loved it..."
"Not only did it defy heaven, it understood its master's thoughts and was so promising. It not only changed the Divine Sword Sect, but even offered its master so many good things all at once."
"The Chaos Dao Body disciple template. Its user will possess the strongest physique, the strongest bloodline, the strongest body, the strongest Qi Sea and dantian, the most terrifying comprehension, and the finest cultivation talent!"
"The Hegemon Body disciple template. When used by one with great perseverance, they will enter the Dao through strength, forge their body into sainthood, and possess limitless possibilities in martial cultivation."
Without a doubt, the Chaos Dao Body was one of a kind. Every aspect of it was supreme, making it even more precious and rare.
"Since that is the case, I'll choose the Chaos Dao Body. As for the Hegemon Body disciple template, I'll pass it down when I encounter a disciple suited to cultivate it in the future."
The moment this thought crossed Lin Feng's mind, a sphere of intertwined black-and-white light appeared out of thin air. With a whoosh, it flew into his glabella and instantly turned into countless specks of light that fused into his limbs, bones, and every cell.
Boom!
A terrifyingly domineering aura swept outward from Lin Feng like a shockwave.
The space visibly twisted, and flowers, grass, and trees turned to powder wherever it passed.
At the same time, Lin Feng felt as though his entire body had been ignited in an instant. Blazing heat scorched every part of him. He felt as though his bones were melting, his blood boiling, and his cells evaporating...
In the blink of an eye, he felt his entire body freeze beneath ten-thousand-year mystic ice. Waves of cold currents exploded within him like blades of icy light, leaving him unable even to scream.
Ice and fire alternated endlessly, the two energies directly using Lin Feng's body as their battlefield.
Itchy! An itch beyond description by brush and ink!
Painful! Pain unlike anything he had ever known!
The Chaos Dao Body was vigorously transforming his tendons, bones, and bloodline...
If a martial artist had been watching at that moment, they would surely have discovered that half of Lin Feng's body was black as ink while the other half was crystal clear. His entire body was enveloped in black-and-white light, his vitality and blood surging wildly as faint Chaos Qi flickered in and out of sight.
Fortunately, this painful process of fusion did not last long before it was complete.
The Chaos Dao Body had fully fused!
"Awesome!" Though the process had been unbearably painful, Lin Feng could not help but let out a heartfelt sigh at that moment.
His meridians, vitality and blood, physique, talent, comprehension—everything had reached its peak!
At that moment, Lin Feng could clearly feel boundless power filling his body. His vitality and blood were like a rising sun, while a Chaos beast seemed to lie dormant within him.
His martial realm had even risen directly from the first-level Skin Refining Realm to the fourth-level Dual Cultivation Realm.
Body Refinement Peak!
Only one step remained before he could enter the fifth-level Qi Gathering Realm and become an intermediate qi-refining martial artist.
That was why he truly felt so awesome!
"Now I still have a one-time Core Formation Peak attack, the Universe Divine Art, and the Heavenly Secrets Art."
"With a one-time Core Formation Peak attack, I can be considered to have a trump card."
At that moment, confidence appeared on Lin Feng's face.
A Core Formation Peak expert was a top-tier existence throughout the entirety of Yi City's territory.
Even if an Iron Sword Sect expert truly descended upon the Divine Sword Sect, under a Core Formation Peak strike, they would still have to kneel and call him daddy!
Lin Feng smiled knowingly, then shifted his gaze to the remaining two cultivation arts.
"The Universe Divine Art, an immortal-grade cultivation art and the foremost cultivation art of Chaos. Its power is unfathomable like that of gods and ghosts. Those who cultivate it will not only be invincible among those of the same realm, but can also kill enemies above their realm."
"The Heavenly Secrets Art can perceive the secrets of heaven and also see a martial artist's fortune. Its wondrous uses are manifold."
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. They truly are two excellent cultivation arts."
With that, he sat cross-legged and began cultivating the two arts with single-minded focus.
Although the Heavenly Secrets Art had manifold wondrous uses, it was easy to understand, progressing from the profound to the simple. Lin Feng did not find it difficult to cultivate.
Before long, he had cultivated this art to the Great Perfection realm.
Afterward, he threw all his focus headlong into the Universe Divine Art.
Invincible among those of the same realm, and capable of killing enemies above one's realm—merely thinking about it made his blood boil.
As time passed, the aura around him grew increasingly powerful, while his martial realm rose steadily like sesame blossoms climbing higher section by section.
Fourth-level Dual Cultivation Realm Peak!
Fifth-level Qi Gathering Realm!
Sixth-level Qi Transformation Realm!
Seventh-level Qi Control Realm!
Before long, Lin Feng's martial realm had astonishingly risen to the seventh-level Qi Control Realm, and he became an intermediate qi-refining martial artist!
At the same time, outside the Divine Sword Sect.
A tall youth with resolute eyes and plainly dressed clothes appeared below Misty Peak.
"My talent is ordinary, my innate foundation mediocre, and my aptitude average. Every sect has despised and scorned me, turning me away without hesitation!"
"Though this Divine Sword Sect has declined, it is still, at the very least, a martial sect."
"I must join the Divine Sword Sect!"
"This is my final chance to enter a sect!"
Ye Jingyun stared at Misty Peak, his fists clenched tightly and the look in his eyes as hard as a rock.
