I'm Destined for Great Things
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen glanced behind Lu Changzhi.
After a moment, as if making a decision, he took a deep breath and said to Lu Changzhi:
"Master, may I sit on your bed?"
After the words were spoken, Lu Changzhi was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ming, who was sleeping soundly on the ground like a pig, suddenly sat up abruptly, looked at Gu Chen, and then at Lu Changzhi.
"Something's not right."
Lu Changzhi remained silent.
Of course, it felt strange, but he still knew what he had to do.
I checked Gu Chen's check-in information using the system.
Sure enough, they're here to do the daily check-in task.
However, the arrangement of this location...
Gu Chen was unaware of Lu Changzhi's thoughts, but he was under considerable pressure.
After receiving this task, he thought about it for a long time.
Trying to sneak in like Qingyan Courtyard last time, let alone whether it will succeed.
Even if I could, I, as the disciple, wouldn't be quite up to the task.
I had no choice but to come in person.
Although this seems rather strange.
However, this is for the sake of sign-in rewards and the refresh of other sign-in locations.
We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi spoke up:
"Peak Master Xu previously gifted me a specially crafted bed, which is quite extraordinary; I suppose you've heard about it."
Gu Chen's expression changed, and he quickly nodded:
"This disciple has come precisely to give it a try."
"Come."
As they spoke, the two walked into the house.
"Chirp chirp."
Xiao Ming shook his head, then lay back down.
Inside the room, the master and apprentice each had their own thoughts, but they tacitly reached an understanding.
Knowing Gu Chen's intentions, they found a reason to give Gu Chen a way out.
As for Gu Chen, he was conflicted throughout the entire process.
Should I tell my master that I really just came to sit for a while and had no other intentions?
But upon further reflection, it seemed to make me appear as if I were hiding something.
Final.
Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after completing the sign-in task and leaving the courtyard.
Inside the house, Lu Changzhi glanced at the reward.
"It seems to be related to the difficulty and distance of the sign-in process."
This time, the item isn't particularly valuable.
Even after the system's own amplification.
This is similar to my own random tasks.
However, this time, what I gave myself was not lasting.
Instead, it's five points of cultivation.
Cultivation does not directly advance to the corresponding five realms, but rather to a certain degree.
As for how much one's realm can correspondingly improve.
That depends on the situation.
The less you have, the more you get; the more you have, the less you get.
For Lu Changzhi now...
Five points of cultivation improvement, not much.
But it just so happens.
The "[Realm]" section has been aptly changed to "Can Break Through".
It's not about having a lot of things, it's about having just the right amount.
After thinking it over, Lu Changzhi decided not to rush.
It's almost lunchtime.
One cannot achieve both a solid foundation and a breakthrough at the same time.
Then they will be obtained one after the other, one in front and one behind.
After eating his fill, Lu Changzhi returned to his room.
I lay down on the bed.
A blanket was placed over it.
"System."
Give a greeting:
"Breakthrough."
As the words fell, Lu Changzhi closed his eyes.
Cultivation is defying the will of Heaven.
Breakthroughs are of paramount importance.
Those who strive for breakthroughs must be fully focused and dedicated to avoid problems arising that could harm themselves.
Lu Changzhi understood this principle well.
A short while later, the sound of someone fast asleep began.
Lu Changzhi drifted off to sleep with great concentration.
The night was as still as water.
The Southern Region, where the spiritual veins reside.
Beneath the calm surface, a dense mass of figures gathered.
People are the cheapest commodity in the Southern Region.
Through everyone's joint efforts, the vast area was visibly expanded downwards.
Beneath the spiritual vein, the outline of the formation became increasingly clear.
At the very top, there is a square and round symbol, which is extremely conspicuous.
"Hiding the array beneath the ground for so many years without being discovered, Chen Fangyuan truly deserves to be a master of Dao of Formations."
A figure was Jingjing observing the scene below.
"Unfortunately, this formation is rather difficult to break. It's unlikely we'll be able to find out what's inside in a short time."
"Not surprising."
The bystander nodded slightly:
"The Saint King Chen Fangyuan was a legendary figure in his time. If he didn't have the ability, he would inevitably disappoint people."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the field, and said:
"Fortunately, it remained within the territory of our Holy Dynasty, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone nearby laughed and said:
"Even if it's in another realm, it doesn't matter. Although all parties are determined to obtain Saint King left behind, possessing the Saint King's power is..."
"Only my Great Zhou."
Those who want to watch the spectacle will watch the spectacle, while those who are busy will continue their busy work.
Beside the formation, someone gently shook their head and said:
"Why use such a troublesome method? Why not just break the formation directly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone glanced at him:
"Just do what I tell you to do, don't overthink it."
Upon hearing this, the man glanced at the formation:
"I'm just offering a suggestion. With so many powerful figures above, breaking through the formation shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"Xiao Niu." Someone else shook their head.
"You're overthinking it. Why don't you think bolder? Maybe you can break this formation."
"That makes sense. Let me give it a try."
The man stopped moving, looked at the formation, and said:
"The fortune teller said I was destined for great things."
"Watch closely."
As the voice faded, he raised his hand and swung his pickaxe at the formation.
A bystander scoffed and was about to speak.
But as the pickaxe fell, the formation trembled violently.
Thump!
A loud bang came from the ground, like a muffled thunderclap.
Everyone present, who was completely unprepared, felt their heads spinning.
At this moment, numerous powerful figures in mid-air unleashed their divine thoughts upon the formation.
"What's wrong?"
As the buzzing in their heads subsided, countless people looked around, trying to find out what was going on.
"Damn, Xiao Niu, you..."
One person exclaimed as if seeing a ghost, and looked at the person next to him, almost popping their eyes out.
Beside the battle line, Xiao Niu's arm holding the pickaxe trembled, still reeling from the shock of the momentous event.
Brush.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the sky from within the formation, piercing through the illusionary formation that was blocking it and illuminating the night sky.
The light was so bright that it could be faintly seen from a thousand miles away.
A short while later, the light began to evolve.
Ultimately, it transformed into a square and a circle symbol, guiding all directions.
Inside the palace of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
"It has indeed revealed itself to the world; it is indeed the location of the main tomb."
At that moment, an aged voice came through:
"At all costs, obtain the secret to the breakthrough."
"Yes."
A glint of light flashed in the Emperor's eyes.
The secret to this breakthrough is of paramount importance and cannot tolerate any unforeseen circumstances.
Only by taking personal action can one achieve this.
On Hidden Origin Peak.
While I was fast asleep, the system voice sounded:
"We have the power to bear the consequences, Master. I'll take my subordinates out for a while."
This time, the system notification sound was much quieter.
That way, it won't wake Lu Changzhi.
The system quietly disappeared.
With a wave of the hand, not a single cloud is taken away.
They took Tongtong Xiao Ye.
