In a land of deep emotions and unwavering loyalty, Shen Hua, leading the Shen family through thick and thin, stood as their stalwart guardian.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwalXSDVzRF
For seventy years, he sat in the seat of the family patriarch, witnessing the transformation from a green youth to a seasoned powerhouse. His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, and his prowess in combat was formidable, with eight Foundation cultivators falling to his blade.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOjEtnuRVw
During these seven decades, Shen Hua devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Shen family's well-being. Under his leadership, the family thrived, expanding its influence by eliminating numerous smaller clans.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycrLXjbF4N
Five years ago, Shen Hua's nephew, Shen Chong, also successfully reached Foundation Establishment, marking the rise of a dual Foundation family, and the Shen family stood unrivaled in prominence.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLfEIhUlv
However, fate is fickle, and tragedy struck the Shen family when they were besieged by the Ji Shui Sect, resulting in the annihilation of their entire clan atop Mount Qianhua.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorf7ENfSiw
Despite Shen Hua's valiant resistance, he could not stem the tide of destruction. Using a teleportation talisman, he narrowly escaped with his life, only to be relentlessly pursued by the Ji Shui Sect.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SaKGp9oh
Though Shen Hua managed to fend off his pursuers, he was left in a state of utter exhaustion and despair. The wounds on his body refused to heal, his left hand was necrotic, and his vital organs were ravaged by injuries.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKCNkG4bSi
As Shen Hua teetered on the brink of collapse, he came to a realization. Perhaps his journey was nearing its end.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuvTJNZWrE
Just as he closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, a voice echoed in his mind.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEIMFobhvZ
["Interception System, at your service"]
["This system is determined to break the established destiny, intercept the destiny of the chosen one, and seize the bestowal of fate."]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPGu6yMVE
Shen Hua's eyes widened in astonishment. "What? My system has appeared!"
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h8G4h46Uv
Simultaneously, a panel appeared in his mind, displaying three options: ["Market"], ["Destiny Points"], ["Fate Detection Technique"].
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmpVJEbs1c
Without hesitation, Shen Hua selected "Destiny Points," sensing its paramount importance.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoxxjtcSrI
["Destiny Points: 23"]
["After seizing the destiny of others, you can obtain Destiny Points, which can be used to purchase items in the market."]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwgJIfdkBT
Upon studying the system, Shen Hua grasped the method of obtaining Destiny Points. He could manipulate the destinies of chosen ones through the Fate Detection Technique, altering their fates to gain points.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyg4L0DhtW
There were two main methods to acquire Destiny Points: killing the chosen one to absorb their scattered destiny or leading them to doubt themselves until their Dao heart shattered, allowing the system to absorb their entire destiny.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwQQBq3oiK
The Interception System was created to intercept the destinies of chosen ones. However, Shen Hua was puzzled. "Why do I have Destiny Points when I haven't intercepted anyone's destiny?"
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhsWPreECg
Sensing his confusion, the system provided an explanation. ["Without your intervention, the Shen family would have been unable to establish a Foundation, leading to a decline in strength and eventual demise in the internecine warfare of the family"]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP0WTGeKLA
Shen Hua finally understood. His appearance had altered the trajectory of the Shen family's fate, rejuvenating them and earning him Destiny Points. Although the Shen family eventually met its end, his intervention had prolonged their existence by nearly a century.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42b9izd9rX
Gazing at the panel displaying 23 Destiny Points, Shen Hua's eyes sparkled with renewed vigor. With the power of the system, anything was possible.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLGaypM3j2
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Shen Hua eagerly accessed the "Market" interface.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS1tlkY44u
["Golden-tier Dragon-slaying Blade"]
In the annals of antiquity, there existed artifacts of legend, whispered to have been forged from the slain bodies of mighty dragons, their power unparalleled.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfKeHskiFh
["Ancient Artifact, rumored to have been forged from the corpses of the strongest dragonkind, possessing immense power."]
["Price: 99999 Destiny Points"]
["Nine-nine-nine in a single strike"]
...
["Purple-tier Bonefire"]
["Legend has it that this is the Flame Emperor's former flame, capable of scorching the heavens and extinguishing the world, with a hint of Dao hidden within."]
["Price: 66666 Destiny Points"]
["The chance to become a supreme existence lies within."]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOtA3BeqLM
Shen Hua wasted no further time; with a mere 23 Destiny Points, he deemed these artifacts unworthy of his attention and swiftly scrolled to the bottom of the marketplace.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAbGvPb3LX
There, he found what he desired most.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AHmRXftip
["Red-tier Healing Pill"]
["A single pill with decent healing capabilities."]
["Price: 12 Destiny Points"]
["A qualified medicinal pill"]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspky8fnvCK
A flicker of joy flashed in Shen Hua's eyes as he finally found the healing pill he sought. Though the system's evaluation of the pill was average, Shen Hua trusted that anything provided by the system must be extraordinary.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY1OEdnkwG
Without hesitation, Shen Hua exchanged for the pill, which materialized in his hand. Without delay, he consumed the pill and immediately activated his cultivation technique to assimilate its healing properties.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPsBVIWAqw
A gentle aura of life washed over Shen Hua, dispersing the dark aura that surrounded him. The wounds on his body visibly began to heal.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnne9Czw8H4
...
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGmT226eAO
An hour later, Shen Hua rose with a rosy complexion, no longer bearing the withered appearance from before.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZZ72coxGL
"The pill provided by the system is indeed remarkable. In just one hour, my injuries have greatly improved."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHOBRJZCvi
"Now, the most pressing matter is to utilize the system, continuously grow stronger, and ultimately exact vengeance upon the Ji Shui Sect."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPB2jmlA7p
With a straightened back and a blaze of determination in his eyes, Shen Hua set forth on his path of retribution.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGo4TDI9kY
A day later, outside the Yu Long Sect, Shen Hua stood quietly, gazing at his interception system panel.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4TfUz6Aib
["Name: Xi Xinglei"]
["Cultivation: Qi Refinement Initial Stage"]
["Destiny Points: 50"]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H2PWOnYsj
This was the result of Shen Hua's divination technique—a fortuitous individual with a destiny of fifty points. For ordinary folk, their destiny hovered around ten points, while those with exceptional luck might reach twenty.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnV19PIPfb
Fifty points constituted a significant destiny, enough to classify one as a paragon of fortune. Shen Hua himself possessed thirty points—a respectable fortune indeed.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDSMTxeOlg
Destiny points weren't like cultivation points; they were notoriously difficult to augment. One's fate was largely determined from birth, difficult to alter thereafter.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpTMPTWzMe
Encountering an individual with several hundred destiny points was a prospect Shen Hua dared not entertain. He feared the backlash of fortune and being ensnared in conflicts among mighty beings, meeting an untimely demise. Moreover, he dreaded the possibility of encountering a grandmaster whose ring harbored formidable protection, potentially squashing him across realms with ease.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Tgh0NtwO
In summary, Xi Xinglei, with fifty destiny points and cultivation at the Qi Refinement Initial Stage, aligned perfectly with Shen Hua's plans. However, the method of seizing his fortune posed a quandary.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbdUP766e1
Directly slaying him would diminish the yield substantially, halving the acquired destiny points. Inducing a collapse of Xi Xinglei's Dao Heart, though highly efficient, proved tedious. Moreover, encountering resolute individuals or destiny children could pose insurmountable challenges. The trials and tribulations faced along this path could inadvertently bolster Xi Xinglei's strength, rendering Shen Hua powerless.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkAMBBm72
It seemed like a futile endeavor.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx81nbRQpv
After all, the growth rate of destiny children was nothing short of staggering. A momentary lapse, and they might advance beyond reach.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz4COWa31m
"Xi Xinglei, with fifty destiny points, should not prove too challenging to handle. With my pinnacle of cultivation, I should be able to control the situation."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJMJyI9vOc
"Even if the Sect Master of Yu Long Sect were to intervene, I am confident I could dispatch him within a few rounds."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMseRle58pk
"This young prodigy lacks the experience and resilience to withstand adversity."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRALlPfzfWj
"Decided. I shall employ the second method."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieaf0i5be
As night fell, fierce winds howled, and rain pelted the roof below. The house groaned under the weight, the only source of illumination being the intermittent flashes of lightning.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiX41aCRX8
Within the darkness, only a young man lay collapsed on the ground, his eyes bloodshot with seething resentment.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAY7WOn0WC
He was Chen Xuan, a disciple of the Yu Long Sect.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebi1OBoEKd
Born into an ordinary peasant family, Chen Xuan might have spent his life tilling the fields if not for his induction into the Yu Long Sect. At the age of seven, his latent talent for cultivation was recognized by a passing immortal master, leading him to the sect.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeWjq66iqk
That night, tears of joy streamed down his mother's face, and even his stern, silent father could not conceal his smile. The wealthy landowner, who had never spared them a second glance before, visited their home with ingratiating smiles, leaving behind abundant gifts and words of deference.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwoQ7DMxRr
"Once one enters the tutelage of an immortal master, one becomes an immortal oneself," remarked the knowledgeable village elder.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S2GxrruAC
"Chen Xuan has always shown promise. He is destined for greatness," echoed the flattering townsfolk.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNedkfI5JE
Listening to the praises of his fellow villagers, Chen Xuan knew that life would never be the same again.
On the day of the sect trial, countless individuals were driven to madness, all because of the prospect of obtaining a spiritual item - the Refinement Fruit. This fruit could cleanse the body and enhance one's aptitude for cultivation.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3tdnQVve0
During the sect trial, Chen Xuan encountered the heavily wounded Xi Xinglei, a genuine prodigy. Xi Xinglei was acclaimed as the foremost disciple within the Yu Long Sect, personally taken in by the six elders of the sect. It was said that Xi Xinglei possessed fourteen Refinement Fruits, which he had been pursued for relentlessly. Ultimately, in his injured state, he happened upon Chen Xuan.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjCiFfCEhb
Of the fourteen Refinement Fruits, after accounting for those used by Chen Xuan himself, the resources gained were sufficient for him to advance to the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbCINba453
Chen Xuan's eyes reddened instantly, truly bloodshot, and his hands trembled. For a moment, he felt as though he had returned to that night of exuberance before joining the sect, feeling blessed by destiny.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I129THuRP
"A great opportunity! A magnificent opportunity!"
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsvRAO0ouZ
With a roar, he seized his sword and charged forward, eager to seize a windfall. However, the severely wounded Xi Xinglei merely cast a cold glance and executed a single sword strike. It descended like thunder, seemingly weighing thousands of catties, and arrived before Chen Xuan in an instant.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArvWOEMpVD
Chen Xuan hastily blocked with his sword, narrowly preserving his life. It was then that he realized the chasm between his presumptuous self and a true genius was as vast as the heavens.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvR6NHIzux
Nevertheless, Chen Xuan was still severely wounded, finding even movement difficult. Upon finally returning to the Yu Long Sect, he lacked the resources to pay for the exorbitant medical expenses. He could only hang on, barely clinging to life.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuen8kqA1G
The scent of blood on Chen Xuan's body grew strong, even attracting a crow, which began pecking at his flesh. The sensation was unbearable, utterly unbearable. He could do nothing but endure as the crow feasted upon his blood and flesh, unable to muster the strength to drive it away.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMV0l03YNJ
A sense of despair, akin to death itself, gradually enveloped Chen Xuan. His palms clenched tightly, sharp nails piercing his flesh, causing waves of excruciating pain.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLayCm2tNs6
Outside, thunder rolled, the wind howled, and rain poured down relentlessly. Suddenly, the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and raindrops flew into the room. In the fleeting lightning, Chen Xuan saw a tall figure clad in a voluminous black robe.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePkVhRnVY
"Do you desire power?" Shen Hua's voice, like that of a devil, seduced enticingly.
