Chapter 22 - Chapter 21: Heaven and Earth Fortune, Spiritual Object, Cyan Jade Spirit Seed

"Five points of Fortune?!!"

Ning Xunqiu was slightly surprised upon hearing the information beside his ear; he gathered the power of his heart and mind and landed on the peak to examine the specific situation.

"Red Achievement: 'Celestial Being Incarnation.'

"Combining the martial arts of two lifetimes can actually achieve such a high evaluation."

[Fortune: Six ~ Eight.]

Ning Xunqiu's gaze fell on the Fortune panel; his fortune limit increased by another five points.

Moreover.

"Every time a living being's Martial Dao reaches the Fifth Realm Celestial Being, I get an increase in Fortune limit?" Ning Xunqiu noticed the last sentence of the red achievement.

"The Qingxu Realm's Martial Fortune wants me to spread Martial Dao... It's just too stingy, giving such a small amount of fortune—what a joke!"

He muttered a complaint, then reconsidered, "That's not right; in the Qingxu Realm, Qi Cultivators are revered, and before I came, Martial Dao only reached the Third Realm. The Martial Fortune of the Qingxu Realm is weak; it probably doesn't have much fortune to give me."

"Moreover, this fortune isn't as easy to obtain as it seems."

"These Fifth Realm Martial Artists can't reach it through conventional methods, without the Human Emperor's Transmission, and a sudden realization of Indomitable Divine Intent. How can I teach another Celestial Human Realm Martial Artist? If I designate one, they'll just remain silent."

To ignite Heart Fire, what's needed is 'Absolute Will,' which simply means 'absolute belief in oneself.' Believe to what extent? Point at an apple and say it's a pear; if I say it is, then it must be!

Of course, Ning Xunqiu doesn't have 'Absolute Will.' He crossed the threshold by entering the Sword Demon's state of 'No sorrow, no joy, neither life nor death.'

To be honest, any obsessive Celestial Pride possessing 'Absolute Will' in the Qingxu Realm should become a Sword Cultivator.

'Mind interfering with reality' equals 'True One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws.' No matter your divine techniques, as long as the Sword Cultivator's 'Absolute Will' firmly believes in their 'sword,' it can obliterate all divine techniques.

As long as I believe, any difficulty will vanish under the sword, just like some hot-blooded anime protagonist?

Ning Xunqiu gasped in awe, extremely frightened.

"Wait."

Ning Xunqiu suddenly remembered something, "Duan Hong and the Profound Flood Dragon are truly fighting over Heaven and Earth Fortune!"

"I spread Martial Dao to receive Martial Fortune blessings, while Duan Hong crosses the sea to gain Water Fortune and Sea Fortune blessings? But why must they divide life and death; why not do it elsewhere... Must Heaven and Earth's certain fortune be obtained to attain Dao?"

"Doesn't that mean celestial beings who can 'attain Dao' are few?"

Ning Xunqiu vaguely guessed in his mind, "If I... massively spread Martial Dao in the Qingxu Realm and outnumber Qi Cultivators, occupying the mainstream, would it endanger the person spreading the Qi Cultivation Dao?"

Ning Xunqiu shook his head, forcing himself not to dwell on it, but he made up his mind not to casually spread Celestial Martial Dao to the outside.

Ning Xunqiu moved his mind slightly and received the rich rewards of the purple achievement 'Celestial Body.'

With a swoosh, a ray of light flashed, and he had a hundred Cyan Jade Spirit Seeds in his hand.

These spirit seeds were translucent and flawless, like the finest jade, emitting an alluring fragrance.

"This is a specialty spirit seed of Returning Void Heaven... Isn't this just rice?"

Curious, Ning Xunqiu picked up a Cyan Jade Spirit Seed and put it into his mouth. It was soft in texture, with a refreshing aroma, flooding his stomach with satisfaction once ingested.

His appetite was fully awakened, and after eating over ten, he felt remarkably comfortable, far superior to those so-called "Great Medicine" or "Treasure Pills."

As his cultivation increased, it became difficult to feel satiated eating those "mortal" items.

"Elder Mo once said that spirit seeds contain spiritual charm... It's indeed extraordinary; it should count as a 'Spiritual Object,' right?"

Ning Xunqiu stopped.

"Go back and have 'Yiya' plant them; after this, they can be our main food."

"Once the next batch of spirit seeds matures, it will be perfect for cultivating the 'Red Ape Demon Suppression Divine Will Battle Technique.'

Without Cyan Jade Spirit Seeds, Ning Xunqiu indeed felt uneasy about training the True Skill of 'Returning Void Heaven,' digging into his body potential, starting evolution. The consequence without sufficient nutrition is to starve crazily, to death.

At night.

Ning Xunqiu shared the Cyan Jade Spirit Seeds with his wife Gao Fei Xue and gave four to Cyan Mountain disciples Yiya, Ah Qing, Zhao Ping, and Zhang Han to try.

Over three years, he had fostered them well, developing their respective talents.

He is the Cyan Mountain Sect Leader, can't do everything himself, can he?

Zhao Ping is steady, serving as the gate-keeping general, responsible for secretly eliminating masked bandits climbing the mountain; he does his job diligently.

Ah Qing is infatuated with raising small animals, raising them chubby and fat, then slaughtering them without expression, changing varieties between spicy hot pot and barbecue for a good feast, indeed a rare talent.

Yes, in the future, raising spirit beasts can be entrusted to her.

Yiya, needless to say, a human ginseng becoming spiritual, back then the junior sister urged them to give it a break; most reassuring now.

Zhang Han, that fellow is just clueless about it, constantly tinkering with things outside; gotta assign this boy some tasks.

Junior sister Gao Fei Xue has her talent allocated entirely to sword techniques.

Ning Xunqiu was somewhat obsessed with seeing everyone in Cyan Mountain gradually grow under his leadership, the Treasure Medicine from Shennong Valley slowly filling up, and his strength gradually becoming stronger.

Who understands this feeling...

Ning Xunqiu was entranced by junior sister's sword practice posture; the two of them were now Innate Martial Artists; their offspring should have better aptitude than written in books.

Of course, it would be better if junior sister had Qi Cultivation Success.

Ning Xunqiu picked up his pen and wrote in the "Celestial Derivation Volume.'

[I led the Cyan Mountain group out to sea, greatly increasing our strength, defeating the Profound Flood Dragon, and left this world.]

A short while later.

[Do you want to use fifty-nine points of fortune to rewrite this part of your life?]

"Compared to last time, it's reduced by eight points of fortune... My breakthrough to Celestial Human Realm has significantly enhanced my strength." Ning Xunqiu mused secretly.

This is another use of the "Celestial Derivation Volume"—"Predicting Fortune and Misfortune."

Judging the probability of success by the amount of "fortune" needed.

"If I continue to brush up Life Achievement in Returning Void Heaven a few more times, I should be able to leave."

Ning Xunqiu opened the "Celestial Derivation Volume."

[At the age of eight, my younger brother Zhou Xiao Shan was playing with others and accidentally fell into a creek, developing a high fever that lasted through the night.]

"This incident left my dear brother with a chronic condition, hindering his ability to cultivate. This time, I want to rewrite this period from the beginning."

Ning Xunqiu picked up his pen to rewrite.

[At the age of eight, I kept my brother by my side and secretly taught him Innate Martial Arts.]

A short while later, a prompt sounded beside his ear.

[This is an established reality of Returning Void Heaven, unable to rewrite.]

"Hmm?!"

It's the first time Ning Xunqiu encountered such a situation.

He tried to rewrite the paragraph about Zhou Qingshan, but it couldn't be rewritten.

As long as Zhou Qingshan's paragraph appears, it becomes 'Returning Void Heaven's established reality.'

"Zhou Qingshan is truly the protagonist of Returning Void Heaven?"

Ning Xunqiu frowned.

At this point, he could only rewrite his life after leaving the "White Bear Territory" at eighteen.

Additionally, he guessed that once his brother Zhou Qingshan appears later in the paragraph, all previous wrong choices would be unable to be rewritten.

In this way, in Returning Void Heaven, he has at most two to three opportunities left to rewrite his life.

The most severe part is, should Zhou Qingshan appear in the last paragraph of his life, "Zhou Da Shan's" death would become "Returning Void Heaven's established reality."

At that time, all those mountain-burning and sea-boiling weapons, all the Heaven and Earth Hundred Feet Battle Spirit, would be beyond his reach.

"Perhaps, everything in Returning Void Heaven is currently happening in sync..."

Ning Xunqiu realized the gravity of this problem.

He must act quickly.
