Whether to Forgive Was God's Business

"Congratulations, Host. Daughter of Fortune Liu Yun had developed a trace of regret toward you. Reward: 1,000 Destiny Points."

"Congratulations, Host. Daughter of Fortune Liu Yun had suffered a major blow to her destiny, causing her fortune to decline. Reward: 5,000 Destiny Points."

Just as Chu Tian returned to the foot of Sacred Emperor Peak, the system's gentle notification suddenly sounded 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.

What did her regret have to do with him?

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

As the saying went, rivers and mountains were easy to 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. His business was sending Liu Yun to meet God.

Still, he had many other things to do.

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

The Liu Family's downfall was only a matter of time.

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 would be nothing more than a somewhat outstanding prodigy. From then on, she and him would be like two parallel lines that would never intersect. For the time being, he had no energy to go looking for trouble with Liu Yun.

"Why am I bickering with a little girl like this? I must be bored out of my mind."

Chu Tian came back to his senses and suddenly laughed dumbly, tossing this pointless thought to the back of his mind.

With a thought, the system panel opened before him. It was the perfect time to inspect the many benefits he had obtained from the corpse of Destiny Dao Venerable.

Host: Chu Tian

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

Physique: Chaos Demon God Body

Cultivation Techniques: Chaos Creation True Scripture, First Layer. 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 the battle power of an Emperor Venerable 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. A supreme treasure that assists cultivation. Already refined.

Destiny Points: 51,500

Chu Tian had not expected that the Emperor Scripture he had seized could actually be sold to the system. Without 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, Star Slave's voice came from outside the carriage.

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

Even though his injuries had recovered, Old Tuo still regarded himself as a servant, showing not the slightest hint of overstepping his station.

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

"You have been waiting here especially for me. Did something happen?"

Old Tuo grinned, revealing his withered yellow, gap-filled teeth. They were rather eye-catching. "Young Master is indeed wise. Something did happen, though it is not a major matter.

"You took first place on the Bone Forging Ranking and also claimed first place on the Earth Ranking, suppressing both of Cihang Sacred Sect's current prodigies. Now they have come knocking, wanting to see you. Yet after waiting an entire day, you never appeared, so that Cihang Sacred Sect prodigy Hui Mei angrily set up an arena and challenged every disciple in our sect below the Spirit Refining Realm.

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

"Isn't that openly slapping our sect in the face? They are far too lawless!" Even Star Slave was stunned.

This was the Sacred Heaven Sect's very stronghold.

What kind of utterly lawless person would dare do such a thing?

If Hui Mei truly swept through the entire sect, then the Sacred Heaven Sect, the continent's foremost sect, would lose all its prestige.

Normally, top-tier sects would not make matters this unsightly between themselves. They would always leave each other three parts of leeway.

"Just children squabbling."

Chu Tian smiled and explained it to Star Slave. That truly was Hui Mei's style—unruly, lawless, and fond of showing off. Otherwise, Hui Mei would not have been repeatedly beaten senseless by the protagonist Ye Fan in the original plot.

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

Yet being unruly did not mean Hui Mei was stupid. Hui Mei definitely possessed real strength and, across all worlds, was among the first-rate monstrous prodigies.

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

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

Moreover, he had not expected to come into contact with this person so quickly. 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, telling me not to show myself—was that also the sect master's intention?" Chu Tian smiled meaningfully.

"Yes, Young Master."

Old Tuo said, "Sect Master Tianxiong means that, since matters have come to this, 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 himself."

"He makes it sound prettier than he sings it. Doesn't he just not want the Young Master to earn merit? He wants the Ye Family's people to steal the limelight." Star Slave spoke softly, indignant on Chu Tian's behalf.

"That Hui Mei must have something wrong with his head too. He actually challenged 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 what Star Slave meant. After all, he had begun condensing his spiritual power last night as well.

Some Bone Forging Realm cultivators who had begun condensing spiritual power could fully unleash strength several times greater than before. After condensing their spiritual power, some prodigies on the Bone Forging Ranking could often display strength surpassing one million jin.

Thus, even first place on the Bone Forging Ranking only meant one was invincible in physical strength. It did not mean one was invincible below the Spirit Refining Realm. Hui Mei only had 900,000 jin of strength on the ranking.

Ye Tianxiong had probably seized on this loophole, which was why he dared to let Chu Tian, first on the Bone Forging Ranking, ignore this matter and handle it himself.

"Star Slave, since both the sect master and Father mean this, then I, your Young Master, will not involve myself in it. Besides, this limelight is not so easy to steal."

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 still set up the arena, so there was clearly something suspicious about this.

However, Chu Tian could not be bothered to concern himself with it. He cupped his hands toward Old Tuo and said, "Old Tuo, since there is no need for me to intervene, Little Tian will return to cultivate."

"Please, Young Master," 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 from the shop and continued forging his spiritual power.

With the Supreme Spirit Forging Pill, Chu Tian did not need to expend his own effort polishing his spiritual power. He therefore focused all his energy on tempering his body and cultivating the Chaos Creation True Scripture.

Under normal circumstances, even experts of the Spirit Refining Realm or realms beyond it could not cultivate at every moment. They needed sleep and meditation to regulate themselves.

Yet after receiving the three great halos' blessing, no matter how much Chu Tian exhausted his energy, he remained forever at the peak of vitality. He had no need for rest or even a moment to catch his breath.

To him, as long as the halos remained active, even if he cultivated continuously for hundreds of millions of years, he would never feel fatigued.

Chu Tian first circulated the Chaos Creation True Scripture, guiding spiritual energy through nine Greater Celestial Circuits within his body to temper his physique and absorb the medicinal liquid. In the latter half of the night, he began studying the Eye of the Heavenly Dao 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 dramatically. He even saw Star Slave, who was guarding outside the door and cultivating in meditation with her eyes closed. His gaze passed directly through the veil over her face, revealing her true appearance.

It was a flawless face that could topple kingdoms and cities.

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

Star Slave seemed to sense something. She opened her star-like eyes, confusion flashing through them. Just now, it had seemed as though someone had been peeping at her, lightly brushing over her face with a gentle touch.

It 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's 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 still died. That lesson from the overturned cart was right before her eyes.

Pah!

Star Slave spat at herself inwardly, and two crimson clouds flew across her cheeks.

Star Slave, Star Slave, what are you thinking?

The Young Master was still so young, yet she had already given rise to such improper thoughts, even imagining that the Young Master was caressing her face.

Shameless!

Star Slave cut off her wandering thoughts, closed her eyes, and entered cultivation once more.
