Whether to Forgive Was God's Business

"Congratulations, Host. Daughter of Fortune Liu Yun has felt a trace of remorse toward you. Reward: 1,000 Destiny Points."

"Congratulations, Host. Daughter of Fortune Liu Yun's fate has suffered a major blow, and her fortune has declined. Reward: 5,000 Destiny Points."

Having just returned to the foot of Sacred Emperor Peak, Chu Tian suddenly heard the system's gentle notification by his ear.

Liu Yun regretted it?

Chu Tian's gaze remained calm, though a chill flickered in his eyes. He did not care much about it.

What did her regret have to do with him?

Great Vengeance Demon Lord had given everything for Liu Yun, suffered utter ruin and disgrace, and watched his entire family perish. What had he received in the end? Liu Yun personally leading powerful experts to hunt him down, and that final sword that pierced through Xing Nu's head.

As the saying went, rivers and mountains might change, but one's nature was hard to alter.

If there had to be any connection left between them—

Then forgiving Liu Yun was God's business. What he had to do was send Liu Yun to meet God.

Yet he still had many things to do.

So long as Liu Yun did not take the initiative to provoke him, he had no spare time to trouble her.

The Liu Family's collapse was merely a matter of morning and evening.

Without the Liu Family's protection, Liu Yun, who was merely an Innate Physique, would see her fortune continuously decline. Within the Sacred Heaven Sect, she was only a somewhat outstanding prodigy. From then on, she and him would be like two parallel lines that never crossed. For now, he had no energy to proactively seek trouble with Liu Yun.

"Why am I bickering with a little girl like this? I really have nothing better to do."

Chu Tian came back to his senses and suddenly laughed soundlessly, casting this boring thought to the back of his mind.

With a thought, the system panel opened before his eyes. It was the perfect time to inspect the many benefits he had obtained from Destiny Dao Venerable's imperial corpse.

Host: Chu Tian

Realm: Bone Forging Realm, Tenth Level. Possesses 1.8 million jin of divine strength and can instantly kill a True Dragon Cub. Host is indeed the future's only Son of Destiny.

Physique: Chaos Demon God Body

Cultivation Method: First Layer of the Chaos Creation True Scripture. Destiny Dao Scripture: This scripture is unsuitable for the Host. Cultivation is not recommended. It may be sold to the system for 10,000 Destiny Points.

Divine Ability: Eye of the Heavenly Dao

Treasures: Heavenly Emperor Descent Talisman: Can grant Emperor Venerable battle strength for ten minutes. Heavenly Profound Divine Ring: Can be refined at the cost of 1,000 Destiny Points. It contains a wisp of Primordial Remnant Soul and poses a certain threat. Host, proceed with caution. Great Dao Bead: Supreme treasure that assists cultivation. Already refined.

Destiny Points: 51,500

Chu Tian had not expected that the imperial scripture he had seized could actually be sold to the system. Without any hesitation, he sold it with a thought.

The number under Destiny Points immediately rose to 61,000.

"Young Master, Old Tuo requests an audience." At that moment, Xing Nu's voice came from outside the carriage.

A vertical eye opened between Chu Tian's brows. At once, his gaze pierced through the palace, and he saw Old Tuo standing respectfully at the foot of Sacred Emperor Peak, apparently waiting specifically for his return.

Even though his injuries had recovered, Old Tuo still regarded himself as a servant, showing not the slightest improper conduct.

Chu Tian stepped out of the carriage and cupped his fists in greeting. "Old Tuo, you are too courteous."

"You have waited here specifically. Did something happen?"

Old Tuo grinned, revealing his shriveled, yellow, gap-toothed mouth, which was quite eye-catching. "Young Master truly is clever. Something did happen, though it is nothing major.

"You rose to first place on the Bone Forging Ranking and also took first place on the Earth Ranking, suppressing the two prodigies of Cihang Sacred Sect's current generation. Now they have come to our door wishing to see you. Yet they waited an entire day without seeing you, and Cihang Sacred Sect's prodigy Hui Mei set up an arena in a fit of rage, challenging all disciples below the Spirit Refining Realm in our sect.

"The master does not wish to make too much of a display, so he had this old servant wait here to remind you that he and Sect Master Tianxiong will handle this matter. You need not show yourself."

"Isn't that openly slapping our sect in the face? Isn't this far too lawless?" Xing Nu was stunned upon hearing this.

One had to know that this was Sacred Heaven Sect's home ground.

How utterly lawless did someone have to be to do such a thing?

If Hui Lian truly swept through the entire sect, then Sacred Heaven Sect, the continent's current number one sect, would lose all its prestige.

Ordinarily, top sects would not handle matters in such an unsightly manner. They would always leave each other three parts of leeway.

"Children squabbling."

Chu Tian smiled and explained it to Xing Nu. This truly was Hui Mei's style—unruly and lawless, fond of showing off. Otherwise, in the original storyline, he would not have repeatedly been beaten badly by the protagonist Ye Fan.

But now, Ye Fan had been forcefully suppressed by him, and even the Heavenly Profound Divine Ring had been seized. At present, Ye Fan might not necessarily be Hui Mei's match.

However, being unruly did not mean Hui Mei was foolish. He absolutely possessed strength. Looking across all worlds, he was a first-rate monstrous prodigy.

Within Sacred Heaven Sect, Chu Tian felt that there was practically no one in the Bone Forging Realm qualified to be Hui Mei's opponent.

Ye Tianxiong and his father, Chu Tianwang, were likely in for a headache.

Moreover, he had not expected to encounter this person so soon. He wondered whether Hui Lian Saintess had come along as well.

Old Tuo was somewhat speechless at those words. He glanced at the Young Master and thought, You are a child too, and Hui Mei seems to be two years older than you.

"Old Tuo, is telling me not to show myself also the sect master's intention?" Chu Tian's smile was unfathomable.

"Yes, Young Master."

Old Tuo said, "Sect Master Tianxiong means that, since matters have reached this point, the Chu Family should not clash with Cihang Sacred Sect again, lest it damage the relationship between our family and Cihang Sacred Sect. He will handle this matter."

"He makes it sound better than he sings it. Doesn't he just not want the Young Master to earn merit, so that the Ye Family can take the limelight?" Xing Nu muttered indignantly on Chu Tian's behalf.

"That Hui Mei must have something wrong with his brain too. He actually dared to challenge everyone in the sect below the Spirit Refining Realm. Does he think this is like Hengtian Hall's Bone Forging Realm test, where only physical strength can be used?"

Chu Tian naturally understood Xing Nu's meaning, since he himself had begun condensing his spiritual power last night.

Some Bone Forging Realm cultivators who had begun condensing spiritual power could fully multiply the force they unleashed. After condensing their spiritual power, some prodigies on the Bone Forging Ranking could often unleash strength exceeding one million jin.

Thus, even first place on the Bone Forging Ranking only represented invincibility in physical strength; it did not mean invincibility below the Spirit Refining Realm. Hui Lian, meanwhile, had only ninety thousand jin of strength on the ranking.

Ye Tianxiong had likely seized upon this loophole, which was why he dared to tell Chu Tian, first on the Bone Forging Ranking, to ignore this matter while he handled it himself.

"Xing Nu, since both the sect master and Father mean this, then I, your Young Master, will not involve myself in this matter. Besides, this limelight is not so easy to seize."

At this moment, Chu Tian spoke meaningfully. He did not believe Hui Mei would fail to understand these things. Even if Hui Mei did not understand, the people behind him certainly would. Yet Hui Mei had still set up the arena, so there was clearly something wrong here.

However, Chu Tian could not be bothered to concern himself with it. He cupped his fists to Old Tuo and said, "Old Tuo, since I need not intervene, Little Tian will return to cultivate."

"Young Master, please." Old Tuo said respectfully.

Night fell.

The moment the effects of the Supreme Spirit Forging Pill and the three great halos ended, Chu Tian immediately exchanged for more in the shop to continue forging his spiritual power.

With the Supreme Spirit Forging Pill, Chu Tian did not need to expend effort polishing his spiritual power himself. Thus, he devoted all his energy to tempering his body and cultivating the Chaos Creation True Scripture.

Under normal circumstances, even experts in the Spirit Refining Realm, or even higher realms, could not cultivate constantly. They needed sleep and meditation to recuperate.

But after receiving the blessing of the three great halos, no matter how Chu Tian expended his energy, he remained forever at the peak of vigor. He needed no rest or respite whatsoever.

To him, so long as the halos blessed him, even if he cultivated for hundreds of millions of years without pause, he would never feel weary.

Chu Tian first circulated the Chaos Creation True Scripture, guiding spiritual energy through nine great cycles within his body to temper his physique and absorb the medicinal fluid. In the latter half of the night, he began studying the Eye of the Heavenly Dao that he had just obtained.

Buzz!

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao between Chu Tian's brows opened. In an instant, he felt his spiritual power expand sharply. He even saw Xing Nu, who was guarding outside the door with her eyes closed as she meditated and cultivated. He could even see through the veil on her face and behold her true appearance.

It was a flawless face, beautiful enough to topple kingdoms and cities.

Yet Chu Tian did not linger over it. He quickly withdrew his spiritual power.

Xing Nu seemed to sense something. She opened her starlight-like eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed through them. Just now, it had seemed as though someone had been peeping at her, gently stroking her face. The movement had been very light.

It had felt like the Young Master's hand.

It must have been an illusion.

This was Sacred Emperor Peak, where powerful experts gathered like clouds. Who would dare use divine sense to spy on the Chu Family Young Master's residence unless they no longer wished to live?

Ye Hongwu, a Grand Elder, had plotted against the Young Master behind the scenes, and he had died for it. The lesson was right before her.

Pah!

Xing Nu spat at herself inwardly, and two rosy clouds flew onto her cheeks.

Xing Nu, Xing Nu, what are you thinking?

The Young Master is still so young, yet you have already developed such improper thoughts. You actually imagined the Young Master stroking your face.

Shameless!

Xing Nu cut off her wandering thoughts and closed her eyes, entering cultivation once more.
