Child of Destiny (Brilliant Gold), Early Stage of Spirit Transformation! Exiting Seclusion!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

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

It penetrated layers of clouds, emitting bursts of explosions!

Lingtian Peak was now as if submerged in an ocean of spiritual energy.

It had become the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy within a radius of one hundred thousand li.

After an unknown amount of time, all the spiritual energy seemed to find an outlet, surging into a certain room on Lingtian Peak!

A long while later.

"Hoo~"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Jun Wangyou, who had been in seclusion for three years, slowly opened his eyes.

A brilliant and majestic golden light flashed and disappeared from his eyes.

With a thought, Jun Wangyou brought up his personal panel.

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

Jun Wangyou murmured to himself.

In three years, he had broken through four major realms, and this was with only Low-grade Spirit Stones and the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pills, they were useless after breaking through to Foundation Establishment and could only be eaten like candy.

The system had also rewarded him with three more divine abilities, two beginner-tier and one intermediate-tier.

He recalled the scene of testing his divine abilities in the system's illusion.

Jun Wangyou's heart burned with excitement.

With his current strength, plus his divine abilities, he wouldn't fear even tribulation or ascension.

Who wins and who loses, only time and battle would tell.

"Being talented is great, you're never defeated by setbacks. If I can't beat you today, I'll just go into seclusion and be able to beat you tomorrow."

Jun Wangyou smiled faintly.

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

He stood up and walked out the door.

The bright sunlight shone on Jun Wangyou, making him seem to glow.

"Inhale~"

Taking a deep breath of the long-missed Sacred Land air, Jun Wangyou felt incredibly refreshed.

At this moment, True Man Qingwei flew over from a distance and landed slowly in front of Jun Wangyou.

Jun Wangyou quickly bowed, "Disciple greets Master."

"Rise." True Man Qingwei waved his hand, his expression impatient, and asked, "Good disciple, what realm have you broken through to?"

True Man Qingwei couldn't discern Jun Wangyou's cultivation.

He was very anxious.

"Replying to Master, I just broke through to Spirit Transformation."

"Spirit Transformation?! Hiss!"

True Man Qingwei gasped, his eyes filled with astonishment. "Good boy, not bad, not bad. You're stable now."

"Stable with what?" Jun Wangyou was taken aback.

True Man Qingwei waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"It's nothing much, just that someone wants to challenge you. The loser has to cripple their own cultivation, and also kowtow to the opponent, calling them 'I am trash' three times."

"Oh? Who is the other person? What's their cultivation level?"

Jun Wangyou asked curiously.

His expression was calm, with little turmoil in his heart.

Anyone who wanted to challenge him must be of the same generation.

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

True Man Qingwei said with a chuckle, "That person is currently the number one prodigy in the Eastern Continent, named Li Jianxing. As for his cultivation, I believe he's at the peak of Nascent Soul."

"The number one prodigy in the Eastern Continent, peak Nascent Soul?" Jun Wangyou was slightly stunned, a little surprised.

He felt like he had missed out on a lot of interesting things in the past three years.

Three years ago, the true disciples of the major Sacred Lands were generally only at Core Formation to Golden Core.

Now, there was a genius at the peak of Nascent Soul among the younger generation.

It seemed the integration of the two realms had indeed brought great benefits to the Mystic Realm.

"Alright, I understand. What about the time and place?"

Jun Wangyou asked calmly.

Peak Nascent Soul. Whether they could even withstand one of his swords was questionable. Jun Wangyou really couldn't muster much interest.

But he had no choice but to accept.

If he refused, the outside world would say that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land had backed down, that Jun Wangyou had backed down.

This would be a huge loss of reputation for both Jun Wangyou and the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.

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

True Man Qingwei smiled slightly. "You've been in seclusion for three years, you must be bored, right? Go take a look around the Sacred Land. It's quite different from before."

Hearing True Man Qingwei's words, Jun Wangyou also became interested.

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

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

Then, Jun Wangyou transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.

After Jun Wangyou left, True Man Qingwei stood in place.

Looking in the direction Jun Wangyou had left, he couldn't help but mutter:

"Damn it, three years! Only three years, and I feel a sense of palpitations standing in front of this kid now. If it were a few more years..."

True Man Qingwei couldn't even imagine.

Then, he smiled happily, "Damn it, such a monstrous talent is actually my disciple, hahaha!"

Arriving at the Sacred Land, Jun Wangyou didn't wander around aimlessly.

He first went to the Scripture Repository and obtained a few Daoist techniques for the Soul Transformation realm.

After finding books on the first floor that recorded the major events in the Mystic Realm over the past three years, he went straight to the Mission Hall.

Every day, countless disciples came and went from inside and outside the Sacred Land.

All sorts of news could be heard here.

Jun Wangyou wore a mask and leaned in a corner, flipping through the book in his hand while listening to the noisy information from the disciples around him.

"Mystic Realm renamed... Prodigy Rankings... Demon Continent... Outer Domain Immortal Sect... Holy Heaven Palace..."

After quickly processing this information, Jun Wangyou was filled with emotion.

The cultivation world was constantly changing. If you weren't careful, you'd be left behind by the times.

Jun Wangyou shook his head and smiled, feeling a bit wistful.

Just then, a timid voice came from beside him.

"Senior Brother, are you taking a mission?"

Jun Wangyou turned his head and saw what appeared to be a newly initiated junior brother.

He was only about twelve or thirteen years old, with a fair complexion and a somewhat shy and introverted personality.

After the integration of the two realms, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land had accepted new disciples again a few months ago.

So, there were many new junior brothers and junior sisters in the Sacred Land.

"I'm not. What's wrong, Junior Brother?"

Jun Wangyou asked gently.

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

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

Jun Wangyou didn't rush to refuse and asked curiously.

"I… I…"

Before the junior disciple could finish speaking, a mocking laugh erupted from the side.

"Quick, look! Qingfeng, that jinx and good-for-nothing, is looking for teammates. This is hilarious! Does he even know what kind of trash he is?"

"I heard he killed his parents the moment he was born, then his sister, brother-in-law, and their whole family as he grew up. After luckily getting into the Sacred Land, he even killed his own master. His talent is decent, yet he's been stuck in Early Qi Refining for months."

"With your jinx constitution and being a weakling, anyone who teams up with you must be blind."

"If I were you, I'd pack my bags and get out of the Sacred Land immediately."

"I don't know where he gets the nerve to still be in the Sacred Land."

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from the side, Qingfeng's face turned beet red.

His experiences since childhood had made him naturally introverted and shy.

At this moment, the inferiority he felt in his heart completely consumed him.

"Goodbye, senior disciple. Thank you, senior disciple."

After Qingfeng said this to Jun Wangyou.

He lowered his head and quickly left.

As he passed by, everyone around him dodged him, their faces filled with disgust.

Perhaps his "thank you, senior disciple" was because Jun Wangyou was the only one in the Mission Hall who had paid him any attention.

Jun Wangyou watched Qingfeng's receding back, his brow furrowed slightly. For the first time, he used the Child of Destiny detection function.

[Detecting… Detection successful]

[Child of Destiny: Qingfeng]

[Destiny Strength: Brilliant Gold (Different colors represent different destiny strengths, from weak to strong: Red, Cyan, Purple, Pale Gold, Brilliant Gold, Fiery Gold, Violet Gold)]

[Fate: Hated by Heaven]

[Hated by Heaven: A person disdained by the heavens, thus burdened with heavy shackles. Once these shackles are broken, they will soar like a Kunpeng setting out to sea or a dragon ascending to the nine heavens, their destiny taking flight, unstoppable. Conversely, they will bring ruin to all those close to them (Host is immune).]

"As expected, a Child of Destiny, and Brilliant Gold at that. Much stronger than Ye Xiu."

Jun Wangyou's eyes flickered.

Ye Xiu's destiny color was only red.

But Qingfeng was Brilliant Gold!

Once he breaks free from his shackles, his potential is virtually limitless.

"This is interesting."

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

An introverted, shy Child of Destiny with boundless potential.

If Jun Wangyou didn't turn him into his subordinate, he'd feel like he was letting his cheat system down.

As for the person who had just mocked him, Jun Wangyou didn't pay them any mind.

Putting himself in their shoes, if Jun Wangyou didn't have his system, he would probably keep his distance too.

After all, Qingfeng truly was a jinx, not just someone slandering him.
