【Ding! The laws of heaven and earth have sensed that your accumulation in the Qi Condensation Stage has reached great perfection, and your foundation has surpassed the Extreme Realm. Therefore, a time-limited pre-requisite quest for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage has been issued. Please check it immediately.】
On the way to Sanjiang County, Ye Lin was lying idly on his flying vessel, watching the clouds drift by, when a game notification chime suddenly rang in his ears.
Hearing this, Ye Lin was startled for a moment. He then opened his personal game panel to check the quest.
【Pre-requisite Quest Details:
Find a Foundation Establishment spiritual material of quasi-immortal-grade or higher.
Slay three Golden Core Stage beings using your own combat power.
Upgrade your talent to the Heaven-grade.
Note: This quest is limited to one day. If you fail to complete it, you will forever lose the qualification to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in this world. Good luck.】
“Unbelievable. It's bad enough that the quest objectives are getting more ridiculous one by one, but there's actually a time limit too?”
After reading the quest details on the game panel, Ye Lin's face couldn't help but turn as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had been quite happy when he first heard that the pre-requisite quest had refreshed. After all, he had been stuck at the great perfection of the Qi Condensation Stage for a long time and had always wanted to make a breakthrough.
But who could have expected the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Desolation Continent to be so underhanded?
Three tasks: finding a Foundation Establishment spiritual material of quasi-immortal-grade or higher, slaying three Golden Core Stage beings using only his own combat power, and upgrading his talent to the Heaven-grade.
And it even damn well expected him, a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator without any background, to complete all of this within a single day.
This was clearly because the Heavenly Dao of this world saw how terrifying his foundation was. It wanted to use the laws of heaven and earth to issue a targeted pre-requisite quest to permanently suppress him at the Qi Condensation Stage.
“Wanting to sever my path of cultivation? In your dreams.” Ye Lin had absolutely no intention of coddling the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Desolation Continent. With a cold snort in his mind, he directly activated the Heavenly Dao Seal within his sea of consciousness.
Buzz!
As a grand seal representing mountains and rivers slowly manifested in his sea of consciousness, he began to mobilize his authority to customize parts of the pre-requisite quest.
Quest one did not need any modification, as he already possessed the Heavenly Dao-grade Power of Yin-Yang.
Quest two could be modified. “Slay three Golden Core Stage beings using your own combat power” was changed by him to just “slay three Golden Core Stage beings.” This way, he could use any talismans and his trump card, the Charging Form.
For quest three, upgrading to the Heaven-grade was changed by him to upgrading to the Earth-grade, since his current incomplete Chaos Spiritual Root was already Earth-grade.
As for the final one-day time limit, he directly changed it to a one-hundred-year time limit. To prevent any accidents, the more generous the timeframe, the better.
After finalizing the modifications, his Heavenly Dao Seal directly stamped its seal of rules onto the quest panel.
Boom!
As a wave of supreme rule-based power swept across, his quest content was successfully modified.
Rumble!
As if realizing that its will had actually been modified by a mere Qi Condensation Stage cultivator, the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Desolation Continent began to grow violent.
Terrifying bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky one after another, seemingly intent on striking Ye Lin, this disobedient ant, to death.
However, Ye Lin possessed immense luck and was also a First-Tier Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, he had not violated the world's underlying rules of operation. Thus, no matter how furious the Heavenly Dao was, it could not directly strike him.
“Anomalous entity. Possesses immense luck. Past and future cannot be calculated. Rapid growth. Danger level: Four stars. Activating the Children of Fortune. Executing the cleansing plan. Destroy the anomaly!”
Adhering to the administrative regulations set for it by mysterious mighty figures, the Heavenly Dao began to cast Heavenly Dao imprints across the Heavenly Desolation Continent.
A country boy of mediocre talent picked up a broken bowl; a trash-tier youth whose physical constitution had been stripped away suddenly awakened an even more terrifying bloodline; a genius with a powerful background obtained a divine book that could predict the future of everyone in the world...
They were, without a doubt, Children of Fortune created by the Heavenly Dao specifically to destroy Ye Lin.
Naturally, Ye Lin had no idea that he had already been placed on the must-kill list of the Heavenly Desolation Continent's Heavenly Dao.
After modifying his pre-requisite quest content, he was currently piloting his small flying vessel toward Sanjiang County in a leisurely manner.
He turned a deaf ear to the raging thunder above. It was merely the fury of the incompetent; it had no effect on him anyway.
But while he was enjoying a leisurely trip, the geniuses and powerhouses who coveted the opportunities he possessed and were trailing far behind him suffered a miserable fate.
They didn't possess any significant luck, so the heavenly punishment lightning struck them mercilessly, treating them like absolute garbage.
With a series of thunderous booms, the original group of dozens of people was instantly reduced to just three. The rest were completely blasted into ashes, leaving not even a single bone fragment behind.
“Damn it! The sky was completely clear just a moment ago. How could a tribulation suddenly rage like this?”
“And why is this lightning only striking us and not Ye Lin?”
On a battered flying vessel, a purple-robed young man with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and severe injuries all over his body couldn't help but roar in anger.
His name was Ji Wuyan, the young master of the Ji family lineage from a Mysterious-grade Cultivation Academy outside the Tianyuan Dynasty. He had come to the Tianyuan Dynasty this time at the invitation of his aunt, Ji Yu.
And this Ji Yu was the mother of the Second Prince, Nangong Yun, the culprit who had colluded with the evil spirits to slaughter the new students.
Ji Yu had invited Ji Wuyan to come so they could completely ignore Old Xiao's deterrence and kill Ye Lin to avenge her son.
Ji Wuyan was also highly interested in the opportunities on Ye Lin that could boost combat strength, so he had agreed to his aunt's request.
The moment Ye Lin left Tianqi City today, Ji Wuyan had led his Dao protector and a group of servants to follow far behind him.
Just a moment ago, they had been planning to deal a fatal blow to Ye Lin, but who could have expected a sudden bolt of lightning from the clear sky to reduce them to this miserable state?
“Young Master, this Ye Lin is far too bizarre. I cannot see through him. Why don't we return to the family first and find someone stronger to capture him?”
Seeing Ji Wuyan severely injured, a sexy and voluptuous woman cradled him in her arms while feeding him a healing pill, suggesting with a solemn expression.
Her name was Ji Chenge, a cultivator at the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage and Ji Wuyan's Dao protector.
“What's so bizarre about him? He's just an ant who walked out of some rural village with no background whatsoever. He merely got lucky and obtained some decent opportunities.”
“It's not like he's the only one with trump cards and opportunities. I am already in the Golden Core Stage now, and you, Aunt Ge, are at the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, not to mention we also have a death soldier at the Fifth Layer of the Golden Core Stage.”
“No matter how formidable he is, he's still just in the Qi Condensation Stage. Could he possibly insta-kill the three of us, Golden Core Stage cultivators from a great family, all at once?”
After swallowing the healing pill, Ji Wuyan's injuries improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, seeing his Dao protector being so cautious, Ji Wuyan couldn't help but curl his lips and speak.
He admitted that Ye Lin was indeed very capable, but he, Ji Wuyan, was no ordinary person either. He was a standout among the geniuses of the same realm.
Moreover, he was in the Golden Core Stage. A Golden Core Stage fighting a Qi Condensation Stage, and a three-on-one at that—no matter how one looked at it, there was no way he could lose.
“You have a point, Young Master, but I still feel we should report this matter to the family and have them send stronger experts over.”
“This will not only prevent any accidents when dealing with Ye Lin but also allow us to quickly bring him back to the family once we obtain his opportunities, reducing the greed of others.”
Seeing that Ji Wuyan was dead set on capturing Ye Lin, Ji Chenge thought for a moment and still cautiously advised.
“Fine, fine. Aunt Ge, quickly contact the family and have them send two Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses over.”
As a young master of a great family, Ji Wuyan did possess some foresight. Although he felt Ji Chenge was being overly cautious, he still understood the principle of being prepared for any contingency.
Meanwhile, after traveling for a day and a night, Ye Lin finally arrived in the sky above the confluence of three rivers.
Below him was Sanjiang County, which had been mentioned in today's Immortal Destiny Secrets.
“Then I'll head to the seabed first to claim the rule fragment from the secrets.”
Looking at the churning estuary below, Ye Lin stored away his flying vessel and jumped down without any hesitation.
