Chapter 3: The Top Priority Is To Find Leng Ruoyao

“No, Host Brother, you are a variable in this world. Only your actions can change the trajectory of the Son of Heaven.”

“Furthermore, all living beings in this world will be affected by the Ruinous Will, so only you, Host Brother, can make a move,” the System explained.

“I really…”

Hearing the System’s explanation, Zhao Yan didn’t know what to say.

“I always call you System, it feels a bit strange. Do you have a name?”

“A name, huh? Boss often calls me Pai Xing, you can call me that too, Host.”

The System’s young voice carried a hint of playfulness.

“Your boss isn’t the world’s will, is he?”

“Host Brother guessed right, you’re so smart!”

Zhao Yan: “…”

“Then Pai Xing, do you have any beginner gift packages or something? In my situation, it’s not okay to give nothing, right?”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yan spoke again.

“Hmph! My name is Pai Xing, not Pai Daxing! But, there is indeed a beginner gift package.”

“Alright, alright, Pai Xing, quickly open it and let me see.”

“Brother, you’re too naughty, I’m ignoring you.”

“Ding, initiating beginner gift package.”

“Congratulations, Brother, for obtaining seven Second Rank Storage Realm Minor Realm Improvement Cards and three Intermediate Lottery Tickets. Do you want to draw?”

“Lottery tickets?”

“Yes, Brother, the higher the level of the lottery ticket, the easier it is to draw good things.”

“Then shall I try drawing?”

“Not drawing and saving it for New Year’s? Draw quickly.”

“Okay, Brother.”

As soon as Pai Xing finished speaking, a huge roulette appeared in front of Zhao Yan, with various items dazzling his eyes.

Good items included Emperor-Grade Artifacts and Emperor Rank cultivation techniques, while bad ones might be just a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, or a box of instant noodles.

Subsequently, the roulette began to spin rapidly.

Not long after.

“Congratulations, Host Brother, for obtaining a Fifth Rank Beast Flame, a Fifth Rank Ice Lingering Cold Crystal, and two Hundred-Mile Teleportation Talismans.”

“A Fifth Rank Scarlet Flame Monkey King Beast Flame, a Fifth Rank Ice Lingering Cold Crystal, not bad.”

Zhao Yan left the Zhao Clan in too much of a hurry this time. He only had a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash, and his Spirit Crystal cards were probably all frozen by now.

At this critical juncture, these heavenly materials and earthly treasures could be exchanged for Spirit Stones, and perhaps they had other uses.

The two Hundred-Mile Teleportation Talismans were also something he desperately needed; who wouldn’t want a life-saving item?

Zhao Yan carefully examined the descriptions of these two talismans.

These two talismans were not random teleportation talismans, but fixed-point teleportation talismans. They could specify a location, so he wouldn’t have to worry about being teleported to some strange place.

This made Zhao Yan slightly relieved. If the Son of Heaven wanted to kill him in the future, he could still teleport away to save his life at any time.

Currently, the Sons of Heaven in the early stages were not high in cultivation. Although it was only a hundred miles, it was enough for him to escape.

“Pai Xing, use the Realm Improvement Card.”

“I told you my name is Pai Xing! Realm Improvement Card is being used.”

As soon as Pai Xing finished speaking, Zhao Yan immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy erupting from his lower body and sweeping upwards.

Zhao Yan rejoiced in his heart, then quickly calmed down, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly gathered his mind and began to circulate the cultivation technique he cultivated in his awakened memories.

Netherfire Divine Technique was a Saint Stage cultivation technique of the Zhao Clan’s main lineage.

This cultivation technique had nine levels. Starting from the second level, for every level successfully cultivated, a corresponding Spirit Skill would be unlocked.

For example, when he reached the Storage Realm, the defensive Spirit Skill that complemented the cultivation technique was the Netherworld Fire Armor.

At this moment, within his Sea of Qi, the incoming spiritual power was boiling. Within this boiling, the spiritual power continuously evolved into black spiritual power.

Zhao Yan could clearly feel the capacity of his Sea of Qi constantly increasing.

Sensing the rapidly strengthening spiritual power within his Sea of Qi, a sense of deep comfort spread through Zhao Yan’s limbs and bones.

Third level, fourth level, fifth level, sixth level, seventh level, eighth level, ninth level!

While Zhao Yan was immersed in the pleasure of breaking through his cultivation realm, the street suddenly became agitated.

Because everyone could feel a powerful suction force erupting from Zhao Yan’s body.

With an almost predatory and forceful posture, it was snatching the spiritual energy within this area.

“Is that person breaking through?”

“This is on the street! Aren’t they afraid of spiritual energy backlash?”

“No, even if they were breaking through, I’ve never seen them absorb so much spiritual energy.”

“I’m afraid the Spirit Technique they are cultivating is at least Dao Stage or above.”

“No, they broke through more than one level, they actually broke through seven cultivation realms consecutively! How is this possible?”

Many strong practitioners on the street had recognized how many levels Zhao Yan had broken through.

“What? Seven levels? Are you joking?” a passerby exclaimed again.

It wasn’t until the spiritual energy materialized and displayed the means of a Fourth Grade Elephant Spirit Realm practitioner that people reluctantly believed it.

The exceptionally handsome young man on the street had actually broken through seven levels in one go!

“Listening to Summer Pavilion always talks about heavenly pride appearing somewhere, but now I’ve finally met one in person. I’m truly impressed, what kind of monster is this?”

A passerby lamented.

Many pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks, and various shocked comments rose and fell.

Everyone’s face was filled with astonishment; it was clear this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

After a while.

When his cultivation realm was completely stabilized at the ninth level of the Storage Realm, Zhao Yan withdrew from his cultivation state and slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhao Yan sensed something unusual and then saw gazes falling upon him from all around.

Especially those in front of him. In his awakened memories, they were guards of the Prefectural Guard, equivalent to the police in his previous life.

“What’s wrong?”

“Little brother, you broke through on the street and disrupted public order. You may need to register at the Prefectural Guard.”

“Um… I suddenly had an epiphany and couldn’t control myself. I’m truly sorry.”

I really am an idiot. How could I use a Realm Improvement Card directly on the street?

Now look, I’ve even attracted the attention of the Prefectural Guard.

Zhao Yan regretted it immensely.

At this time, several Prefectural Guard members who had gone to investigate returned. After questioning nearby passersby, they reported to the leading captain.

“Broke through seven levels consecutively?”

Upon hearing his team member’s report, the captain’s eyes widened.

After a moment of silence.

“Little brother, what is your name?”

“Yan Zhao,” Zhao Yan replied, recalling the new identity the family had arranged for him.

“Yan Zhao? Since it was an epiphany, we won’t disturb you further. Little brother, your prospects are limitless.”

He gave Zhao Yan a meaningful look, clearly puzzled by the name, but didn’t say anything more.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Zhao Yan, he led the Prefectural Guard members away.

Watching the Prefectural Guard members leave, Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to get into trouble at the very beginning of his experience.

“Pai Xing, this Realm Improvement Card is quite good.”

Breaking through seven levels consecutively had directly brought him to the ninth level of the Storage Realm.

The cultivation levels that had dropped due to the forced transplantation of the Sacred Bone had also returned.

The cultivation realms in this world are divided into: Body Refining Realm, Storage Realm, Spirit Attachment Realm, Myriad Appearances Realm, True Spirit Realm, Return to Origin Realm, Peerless Realm, Venerable Realm, Saint Realm…

Corresponding to ranks one through ten.

In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, the strongest publicly recognized practitioners are in the Saint Realm. Only countries with Saint Realm powerhouses can be called Dynasties.

“It’s nothing much. So, Host Brother, where do we go next?”

“Back to Qingyang City.”

Among the five Son of Heaven options currently illuminated by Pai Xing’s statistics, the most dangerous is the girl from his awakened memories whom he pursued from the Imperial Capital to Qingyang City – Leng Ruoyao.

Her mortality rate around the first month of the future is as high as eighty percent!

The second on the list is the girl Xiao Yanyan, with whom he had just broken off his engagement.

However, that is later in time, in the second half of the third month of the future, so there is no rush for now.

The other three have mortality rates of less than one percent in the future three months.

The top priority now is to find Leng Ruoyao, understand her future movements, and then make plans.
