Emerging from Seclusion, Early Stage of Spirit Transformation! A Brilliant Gold Child of Destiny

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A vast golden beam shot up from Lingtian Peak, piercing the heavens!

It tore through layer upon layer of clouds, setting off thunderous explosions!

At this moment, Lingtian Peak seemed submerged in an ocean of spiritual energy.

It became the place with the densest spiritual energy within a hundred thousand miles.

After an unknown amount of time, all the spiritual energy seemed to have found an outlet and surged into a room on Lingtian Peak!

A long while later.

"Phew~"

Jun Wangyou exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes after three years of seclusion.

A brilliant, immensely imposing golden gleam flashed through his eyes.

With a thought, Jun Wangyou summoned his personal panel.

[Detect Child of Destiny]

"Early Stage of Spirit Transformation... I should have some ability to protect myself now, right?"

Jun Wangyou murmured slowly.

In three years, he had crossed four major realms in succession, and that was with only Low-grade Spirit Stones and the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle.

As for Foundation Establishment Pills, they had become useless after Foundation Establishment. He could only eat them like candy.

The system had also rewarded him with three divine abilities: two beginner-grade and one mid-grade.

Whenever he recalled testing those divine abilities within the system's illusion realm—

His heart burned with excitement.

With his current strength and divine abilities, he would not fear even those in the Tribulation Transcendence or Ascension realms.

Who would win and who would lose could only be known after a fight.

"Having great talent is awesome. You'll never be beaten down by setbacks. If I can't beat you today, I can just enter seclusion and beat you afterward."

Jun Wangyou smiled faintly.

After three years, Jun Wangyou had become much more composed.

He rose to his feet and stepped outside.

The bright sunlight shone upon Jun Wangyou, making it seem as though his entire body was glowing.

"Haah~"

Jun Wangyou took a deep breath of the long-missed sacred land air, feeling exceptionally refreshed.

At that moment, True Man Qingwei flew over from afar and slowly landed before Jun Wangyou.

Jun Wangyou hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Master."

"No need for formalities." True Man Qingwei waved his hand, his expression impatient as he asked, "Good disciple, what realm did you break through to?"

True Man Qingwei could not see through Jun Wangyou's cultivation.

He was extremely anxious.

"Reporting to Master, I have just broken through to Spirit Transformation."

"Spirit Transformation?! Hiss!"

True Man Qingwei sucked in a breath, his eyes full of amazement. "Good lad, not bad, not bad. This settles it."

"What settles it?" Jun Wangyou was taken aback.

True Man Qingwei waved his hand indifferently.

"It's nothing much. Someone just wants to challenge you. The loser must cripple his own cultivation, kowtow to the other party, and say three times, 'I'm trash.'"

"Oh? Who is the other party? What realm is he at?"

Jun Wangyou asked curiously.

His expression remained calm, and his heart barely stirred.

Anyone sending him a challenge had to be from his generation.

Since they were of the same generation, how strong could they possibly be?

True Man Qingwei teased, "That fellow is currently the number one genius of the Eastern Continent. His name is Li Jianxing, and his cultivation... seems to be at the peak of Nascent Soul."

"The number one genius of the Eastern Continent, peak Nascent Soul?" Jun Wangyou was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised.

He felt as though he had missed many interesting things during these past three years.

Three years ago, the true disciples of the major sacred lands had generally only been around Core Formation to Golden Core.

Yet now, a young genius at the peak of Nascent Soul had appeared.

It seemed that the fusion of the two worlds had truly brought enormous benefits to the Mystic Realm.

"Alright, I understand. When and where?"

Jun Wangyou asked calmly.

Whether a peak Nascent Soul cultivator could even withstand one of his swords was questionable. Jun Wangyou truly could not summon much interest.

Yet he had no choice but to accept.

If he refused, the outside world would say that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land had chickened out, and that Jun Wangyou had chickened out.

That would be a tremendous blow to the reputation of both Jun Wangyou and the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.

"The time is three days from now, in Hundred Battles City."

True Man Qingwei smiled faintly. "You've been in seclusion for three years. You must be stifled by now, right? Go take a look around the sacred land. It's very different from before now."

Hearing True Man Qingwei say this, Jun Wangyou became interested as well.

"Then, Master, this disciple will take his leave first."

"Mm, go on." True Man Qingwei nodded.

Then Jun Wangyou turned into a streak of light and vanished.

After Jun Wangyou left, True Man Qingwei remained where he was.

Staring in the direction Jun Wangyou had gone, he could not stop muttering.

"Damn it, three years! Only three years! Just standing in front of this brat gives me a feeling of dread. If a few more years pass..."

True Man Qingwei simply did not dare imagine it.

Then he broke into a blissful smile. "Damn it, such a monster is actually my disciple! Hahaha!"

After arriving in the sacred land, Jun Wangyou did not wander around aimlessly.

He first went to the Scripture Repository and obtained several Dao Arts of the Spirit Transformation realm.

After searching the first floor for books recording the major events of the Mystic Realm over the past three years, he headed straight to the Mission Hall.

Every day, countless disciples came and went here, both from within and outside the sacred land.

All kinds of information could be heard here.

Wearing a mask, Jun Wangyou leaned against a corner. He read the book in his hands while listening to the noisy chatter of the disciples around him.

"The Mystic Realm was renamed... the Heavenly Pride Ranking... Demon Continent... Outer Domain Immortal Sect... Holy Heaven Palace..."

After quickly digesting this information, Jun Wangyou felt deeply moved.

The cultivation world was constantly changing. If one was not careful, one would be left behind by the times.

Jun Wangyou shook his head with a smile, feeling somewhat emotional.

At that moment, a timid voice came from beside him.

"Senior Brother, have you accepted a mission?"

Jun Wangyou turned and saw a junior brother who seemed to have only recently joined the sect.

He was only around twelve or thirteen years old. His features were fair and clean, and his personality seemed somewhat shy and introverted.

After the two worlds fused, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land had opened its gates to recruit disciples again several months ago.

Thus, the sacred land had gained another batch of junior brothers and sisters.

"I haven't. What is it, Junior Brother?"

Jun Wangyou asked gently.

"Ah, it's... it's like this. I... I accepted a mission, but it requires two people to complete. No one is willing to team up with me. Senior Brother... c-can I team up with you?"

"Oh? Why is no one willing to team up with you?"

Jun Wangyou did not reject him immediately and instead asked curiously.

"I... I..."

Before the young junior brother could finish speaking, mocking laughter rang out nearby.

"Look, everyone! Qingfeng, that worthless disaster star, is looking for someone to team up with him! This is hilarious! Doesn't he know what kind of trash he is?"

"I heard he killed his parents the moment he was born. After growing up, he killed his older sister and her husband's entire family. Then, after luckily entering the sacred land, he killed his own master too. His talent is decent, yet he's still stuck at Early Qi Refining after several months."

"With your disaster-star constitution, and being such weak trash, only someone blind would team up with you."

"If I were you, I'd pack up and get the hell out of the sacred land."

"Who knows where he gets the nerve to keep staying in the sacred land?"

Upon hearing the mocking words beside him, Qingfeng's face instantly flushed red.

His experiences from childhood had already made him introverted and timid.

Now that he heard those words, the inferiority buried deep within him completely swallowed him whole.

"Goodbye, Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Brother."

After saying this to Jun Wangyou, Qingfeng—

Lowered his head and quickly left.

Wherever he passed, everyone around him avoided him from a great distance, their faces filled with disgust.

Perhaps that thank you, Senior Brother was because Jun Wangyou was the only person in the entire Mission Hall who had paid him any attention.

Jun Wangyou watched Qingfeng's departing figure, his brows furrowing slightly as he used the Child of Destiny detection function for the first time.

[Detecting... Detection successful]

[Child of Destiny: Qingfeng]

[Destiny Strength: Brilliant Gold (Different colors represent different levels of destiny strength. From weak to strong: red, green, purple, pale gold, brilliant gold, crimson gold, violet gold)]

[Fate: Hated by Heaven]

[Hated by Heaven: A person despised by the heavens, burdened by countless shackles. Once he breaks through those shackles, he will be like a roc soaring out to sea or a dragon rising into the nine heavens. His destiny will surge beyond all restraint. Otherwise, he will bring misfortune upon everyone close to him. (The host may ignore this)]

"As expected, he's a Child of Destiny, and a Brilliant Gold one at that. He's far stronger than Ye Xiu."

Jun Wangyou's gaze flickered.

Ye Xiu's destiny color had only been red.

Yet Qingfeng's was Brilliant Gold!

Once he broke through his shackles, his potential would be limitless.

"Interesting."

A smile curled across Jun Wangyou's lips, and he then vanished from the Mission Hall.

A Child of Destiny with an introverted, timid personality and limitless potential.

If he did not turn him into his little brother, Jun Wangyou would feel as though he had failed his own cheat.

As for those who had mocked Qingfeng earlier, Jun Wangyou did not bother with them.

Putting himself in their shoes, if Jun Wangyou had not possessed the system, he would probably have kept his distance too.

After all, Qingfeng truly was a disaster star. They were not slandering him.
