I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 335 - 271: Planning
After several days passed.
The three Nascent Soul Sects within the Jiang Country had long lost their former imposing presence, leaving only devastation to tell the tale of their downfall in the cold wind.
The majestic White Bone City of the Black Evil Sect had collapsed more than halfway, with the remaining black demonic qi resembling thin black fog lingering between the broken walls, lacking its former ferocious life-devouring nature, now more like rootless duckweed, dispersing a bit with a gust of wind.
The scene at the Blood Soul Sect was even more tragic; the large blood-colored pool that once nourished the Blood Soul Banner had completely dried up, with the bottom cracked with web-like patterns.
On the altar by the pool, the tattered blood-colored banner swayed in the wind, with the once ferocious ghostly shadows imprinted on it fading to a light red, devoid of any creepy aura that ensnared living souls.
On the other hand, the Heartless Hall of the Path of Emotion Destruction, though not as dilapidated as the previous two sects, exuded a sense of desolation.
The hall doors were wide open, and the gilded characters "Path of Emotion Destruction" on the door lintel had mostly peeled off, revealing the dark wood beneath.
The inside of the hall was empty; the jade shelves that were once filled with scriptures and the stone platform that displayed magical artifacts... now only empty shells remained.
Chen Sheng stood atop the Heartless Hall, enveloped in a faint glow of treasure light.
"The accumulation of the Three Great Sects over the centuries is quite considerable."
"Swish—"
With a light sweep of his sleeves, three streaks of light flew out from his sleeve, pausing momentarily in the air.
On the left was the Black Bone Staff of the Black Evil True Monarch, the black qi entwining the staff long dispersed, only the skull at the top still retained a faint trace of demonic light in its eye sockets.
In the middle was the Blood Soul Banner of the Blood Soul True Monarch; though damaged, one could still faintly sense the blood fiend power condensed within the banner.
On the right was the dark-colored small bell of the Emotionless Daoist, the runes of emotion destruction engraved on its surface dim and devoid of light.
These three Tier Four Spiritual Treasures, now ownerless, had become Chen Sheng’s spoils of war.
Chen Sheng’s gaze swept over the three spiritual treasures, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes:
"The materials used to refine these three spiritual treasures are remarkable, just perfect for extracting and refining my Cyan Nether Sword."
With a thought, the three streaks of light flew into his storage ring.
This storage ring was now stuffed to the brim; besides the three spiritual treasures, there was a pile of spirit stones like a mountain—among them, many high-grade spirit stones rich in spiritual qi, and even a few top-grade spirit stones.
Dozens of common Tier Four spirit grasses, with crystalline dew still clinging to their leaves, evidently freshly picked from the sect’s secret realm’s spirit fields...
These resources were enough for Chen Sheng to enhance his cultivation without worry in a short time, no longer fretting over a scarcity of resources.
He lifted his head towards the east, where the vast Great Wilderness lay.
Chen Sheng murmured in his heart:
"Now that the Nascent Soul is formed, and resources are abundant, the karmic ties of this world are clear. Next, it’s time to head to the Great Wilderness!"
However, before heading to the Great Wilderness, concealing his tracks was an essential step.
Chen Sheng’s hands swiftly formed a seal, his fingertips slicing through the void as strange light blue runes appeared out of thin air, carved with complex patterns.
He chanted the secret technique’s mantra in a low, clear voice:
"Four Seas for concealment, untouched by all laws, the divine soul changes form, mana hides its shape..."
As the mantra concluded, the light blue runes seemed to come to life, slowly flying into his body, merging into his skin.
A faint glow radiated from Chen Sheng’s body, and the sharp aura of a Sword Cultivator, like being drowned by the tide, gradually dissipated, replaced by a calm, ordinary mana fluctuation akin to a Loose Cultivator.
Not too strong, not too weak, just enough to reach mid-stage Foundation Establishment, drawing no attention or suspicion.
His appearance and divine soul fluctuation subtly transformed within the gentle light...
Soon, Chen Sheng was no longer the formidable Sword Cultivator who slew three Nascent Soul True Monarchs with a single sword at Qingxi Market but instead resembled a well-traveled, world-weary middle-aged Loose Cultivator, blending effortlessly into the crowd.
Even the Cyan Nether Sword at his waist was shrouded in a layer of light blue spiritual light, the original flowing cloud patterns on the sword’s surface concealed, making it indistinguishable as a Tier Four Spirit Sword.
After ensuring that no trace could be tracked and concluding all ends, Chen Sheng melded into the crowd of ordinary cultivators, flying eastward.
Along the way, he encountered numerous cultivators, including sect disciples traveling in pairs, medicine gatherers with herb baskets, and merchants riding spiritual birds.
Most merely glanced at Chen Sheng before looking away—after all, a middle-aged Loose Cultivator with average cultivation was hardly noteworthy.
Some cultivators even passed by him, smiling and cupping their hands in greeting, politely asking if he needed company.
Chen Sheng replied with a cheerful smile and politely declined.
No one would imagine that this seemingly ordinary, slightly gentle middle-aged cultivator was the "Killing Star" who had recently slain three Nascent Soul True Monarchs with one sword and swept through the Three Great Sects at Qingxi Market.
While flying, Chen Sheng’s thoughts raced, his gaze fixed on the mountains and forests rapidly passing below, a clear plan already forming in his mind:
"I comprehended the Path of Void in my previous life, and now I’ve grasped the embryonic form of the Penetration Dao Principle."
"With a deep enough understanding of the void, there is no need to spend time further studying the Void Skill; as long as enough mana is accumulated, I can steadily progress from Nascent Soul Early-stage to Nascent Soul Great Perfection."
He stroked the storage ring at his waist, feeling the vast resources within, a glint of confidence in his eyes:
"With the resources of the Three Great Sects supporting me, in at most a few decades, my cultivation can break through to mid-stage Nascent Soul—perhaps even faster if those top-grade spirit stones are refined."
However, enhancing cultivation was not the only goal.
Gripping the sword hilt, Chen Sheng mused inwardly:
"Next, the main focus is on understanding the Penetration Dao Principle; although this principle isn’t as profound as the Yin Yang or Five Elements Dao Principles, it excels in low comprehension barriers, and I have quite a talent for it."
This talent, naturally, was brought by being a[Sword Dao Genius]—whether understanding sword techniques or the Dao principles related to the sword, he was several tens or even hundreds of times faster than ordinary cultivators.
Chen Sheng’s gaze grew ever more resolute:
"Once I fully comprehend the Penetration Dao Principle, I will be able to resonate with heaven and earth through this principle, perceiving the opportunities for Primordial Spirit between heaven and earth, laying the foundation for breaking through to Divinity Transformation."
"As for those high-level profound principles like Yin Yang and Five Elements, there’s no need to rush; it’s not too late to gradually comprehend them once I’ve cultivated the Primordial Spirit."
With this thought, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"In this way, this human body of mine might step into the Divinity Transformation Realm earlier than that Demon Race body with the Half-Saint Bloodline."
His demon race Yin Soul remained cultivating in the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven, even with the Half-Saint Bloodline’s blessing, it needed to balance the fusion of Yin Yang Qi.
Meanwhile, this human Yang Soul, with a clear path and abundant resources, might indeed surpass in the future.
