Chen Ping's Sword

’Tribulation Breaking Realm, Fortune Changing Destiny!’

As Chen Ping dashed forward, he felt the eyes in the sky, peering through the gaps of the leaves, seemingly omnipresent, fixating tightly on him.

Surprisingly, he didn’t feel much urgency.

When he thought of something, he went ahead and did it.

Things are done by man, fate is determined by heaven.

However, the effects of this tribulation breaking realm were indeed experienced.

The aspect of changing destiny with fortune felt like gambling.

It was possible to defeat the enemy, kill them, and acquire their lifelong fortune.

But, what if the enemy’s fortune was not that great?

The Spring and Autumn Silkworm did not say.

What to do in such a situation.

At this moment, "Trace Origin and Steal Fortune" had already become dark, seemingly disdainful of activation.

He still had plenty of fortune points left, how to use them to change destiny?

As his thoughts sank into his mind, he saw the attribute panel, which had dramatically changed.

[Spring and Autumn Silkworm (Second Transformation)]

[Talent: Trace Origin and Steal Fortune, Cocoon Rebirth]

[Innate Talent: 7 (Quite Potential)]

[Enlightenment: 5 (Average)]

[Tribulation: 0 (Breaking Realm)]

[Fortune: 44 (Changing Destiny)]

[Cultivation Technique: Wandering Body Bagua Palm (Perfection), Spring Leg (Perfection), Seven Stars Step (Mastery), Silk Thread Puppetry (Perfection), Primordial Technique One Aperture (Iron Body: Mastery), Clear Wind Shadowless Sword (Mastery), Sunset Divine Arrow (Great Success), Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill (Entry), Swallow Returning Butterfly Dance (Mastery)]

[Body Refining: Tier Three (Opening Acupoints) 30%]

[Qi Refining: Tier Two (Qi Cultivation) 38%]

...

The first chain reaction was that "Silk Thread Puppetry" reached perfection, and his body underwent extreme evolution, completing its foundation, and his innate talent quietly increased a bit.

It has now become (Quite Potential), how should I say, finally no longer (Average), it can be considered a little genius in Jianghu.

He now basically understood what innate talent and enlightenment were all about.

Innate talent seems to determine the recovery and growth of qi and blood essence, and plays a decisive role in the cultivation speed of body refining.

In the past, his innate talent was not very good, just a little better than ordinary (Unremarkable).

So, after forcibly enhancing with tribulation points, the growth rate of qi and blood essence could not actually keep up with the realm improvement.

Under such circumstances, wanting to improve the realm was originally impossible...

Ordinary people improve because khi and blood essence reach the level that drives the realm breakthrough.

Yet he, on the contrary, could ignore the conditions.

After breaking through with this unreasonable "Breaking Realm" method, he was forced to excessively take valuable medicines, consuming a lot of Qi Blood Powder, Jade Ginseng Pills, and Essence Replenishing Pills.

It could be said that this body’s foundation could reach its current state actually supported by medicine, with very little credit to its growth.

’But if my innate talent reached the level of genius, or even above, wouldn’t it be as long as the realm is reached, it can quickly naturally grow qi and blood essence, and just the physique and innate talent could support this breakthrough.’

’No wonder, some people practice all their lives and get stuck at a certain level, not because they did not work hard enough or were not smart. It is truly due to the limitation of talent and innate talent, leading qi and blood essence to be only that strong, incapable of finding a path to the heavens.

While some lucky ones, after getting some heaven-defying herb in the deep forests, immediately break through the original limits and reach an incredible realm, it is all in line with the rules of body refining.’

’The role of innate talent, since it works in the martial dao body refining area. Enlightenment, should play a role in spirit and soul, as well as qi refining.’

Chen Ping had improved his enlightenment a bit, and at that time he felt his mind become very worked smoothly, with changes to his understanding of fist technique, sword technique, and the environment around him.

Not that he became much smarter.

It is likely a kind of reconstruction and recognition of the rules of heaven and earth.

The talent "Trace Origin and Steal Fortune", when there is no fortune worth seizing, isn’t it possible to enhance one’s innate talent and enlightenment to truly become a genius, a great genius, or even reach a monstrous level, achieving the purpose of changing destiny?

Feeling the sharpened stakes getting closer from behind.

The sky was also crimson, the sun had completely risen.

Chen Ping knew, even if he wanted to hide in the forest and not go out, it wouldn’t have any effect.

The other side obviously had many men, determining the area overnight and conducting a dragnet search.

Using masters as spearheads, ready to support at any time.

In such a situation, it was impossible to shake off too far.

Just waiting for the divine eagle in the sky to find a trace and immediately lock in.

With the master on the other side being at the level of opening the eight extraordinary meridians, this distance didn’t mean much.

Quickly catching up.

’When the wind blows, eggshells break, and wealth is lost, one finds peace.’

Chen Ping quietly evaluated his current combat power and found that, except for placing more effort on enlightenment, everything else had already reached the peak.

He decided to continue improving his foundation.

Enlightenment +1. Consumed 10 Fortune Points, after enhancement it becomes 6, Inner Qi operation speed increases, recovery speed quickens, affinity to Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi increases.

Enlightenment +1. Consumed 20 Fortune Points, enhancement becomes 7, finally reaching the realm of a (potentially talented) Little Genius.

Boom...

It felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured into his mind, Chen Ping’s entire body shivered, and upon lifting his eyes to glance around the forest, he discovered there was a faintly discernible mysterious energy...

Having just reached the entry level of the Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill, it unexpectedly began to operate spontaneously.

Thin wisps of energy gathered over, and the Inner Qi within the Dantian gradually increased.

Moreover, within his mind, he could clearly perceive what the Qi Mechanism behind him actually was, it was a sword.

Though unseen and untouchable, there was an ever-present crisis of being pierced and slashed that loomed continually in his heart.

’I can even roughly detect who the opponent is...

Is this the enhancement of enlightenment, greatly increasing affinity with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, making the perception of Qi Mechanism much sharper?’

Chen Ping carefully experienced this sensation.

And understood, the sound of the massive tree crashing down behind him... that distant enemy should be the "Sword Elder."

Only this person, who has opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, reached perfection in Tier Three cultivation, could exert such pressure on him.

Regarding mental perception, the other figure, extremely agile, swinging around on the trees as if a Spiritual Monkey, is not much of a concern.

"That person is fast, looking like a Spiritual Monkey, with a red-haired flame-like appearance at the back of the head, could it be the Blood Monkey Yuan Cultivator ranked 179th on the Hidden Dragon List..."

He seems to also sense Chen Ping’s urgency.

Hua Lian’er lying on his back frowned slightly, glancing back.

This glance brought quite some surprise.

She could not see the Sword Elder farther behind, whose Qi Mechanism was locked onto Chen Ping, but saw atop the large tree, the red-haired slender young man bouncing and chasing after them.

That person had unusually long arms almost reaching the ankles, hair like blood and fire, sharp mouth with monkey-like features, slender figure, yet held a golden gleaming staff.

Generally speaking, normal people holding a weapon, let alone walking on trees.

Even running on flat ground seems somewhat unnatural.

But the opponent moved effortlessly and naturally, the golden staff sometimes in the left hand, sometimes in the right hand, sometimes disappearing into the body, only to appear again the next moment.

His feet seemed glued to the large trees, walking horizontally, diagonally, even upside down, without falling off.

Jumping from one tree to another, completely without needing to bend the legs to prepare, like fish swimming in water, birds flying high.

Born as if naturally adapted to living in the treetops.

"Blood Monkey Yuan Cultivator, what is his background? I hear his ranking is above the Flower Thief, how skilled is he?"

The Hidden Dragon List, Chen Ping now basically understands the value of this ranking.

Although this ranking is not judged by combat power alone.

Yet, every listed person has their unique potential...

In other words, they are very distinctive, with hope to reach exceedingly high positions one day.

He has seen the distinct nature of the Flower Thief Jiangh Yudie...

The opponent’s Lightweight Skill and Body Technique, coupled with that shameless disposition, if they continue to live, no one can guarantee they won’t grow into a notorious flower thief that terrifies every maiden.

When they get deeply into cultivation and step onto the Earth List one day.

Maybe they’ll become a great calamity, with few able to stop them.

What about this Blood Monkey Yuan Cultivator, ranked even higher than Jiangh Yudie, what is his uniqueness?

Just ask the "encyclopedia" Hua Lian’er beside him and he’ll know.

This person is essentially a little fan of Jianghu, with idle time usually, knowing quite a lot about rankings and information on masters nationwide.

"This one named Blood Monkey naturally cultivates the Monkey Form Celestial Spirit Thirty-Six Staves, personally accepted as a direct disciple by Hou Cheng who ranks 22nd on the Earth List with the [White Ape Celestial Secret Staff].

It is said, when Hou Cheng traveled and saw him, he personally stayed for three years, tested his character, persuaded his parents, and finally accepted him as a disciple, teaching him all his lifetime skills, once becoming a well-known story."

"Unexpectedly he also joined Beizhou."

Hua Lian’er’s voice contained a slight nasal tone, sounding very disheartened.

This vast Divine Land, perhaps now has many powerful figures from Jianghu, chasing benefits, following great matters, unwilling, or willingly pledging loyalty to the Beizhou Dynasty.

Has Nanli World truly come to an end?

"It turns out to be a little monkey, no wonder, among so many people, besides Jiangh Yudie, only he can catch up to me at the fastest speed."

In the forest, in some aspects, monkeys are simply more adapted than butterflies.

Because these creatures naturally are animals living in the woods.

Chen Ping wanted to make a joke, but seeing that Blood Monkey Yuan Cultivator’s movement, he couldn’t force a smile.

It seems this world doesn’t have tales of Journey to the West.

If Hua Lian’er had heard of that story, she would surely exclaim loudly, isn’t that the Great Saint?

Indeed, besides the red hair on his head, the Blood Monkey’s shape, movement, and the staff flowers wielded with the stick in hand, from the temperament alone, were not inferior to Sixth Senior.

In a drama group, without any makeup, one could directly portray Sun Wukong vividly, perfectly resembling down to the bone.

Any creature resembling Sun Wukong must not be underestimated.

Chen Ping naturally understands this point.
