I Have an Omen System-Chapter 69 - 67: Successful Empty Attainment

The terrifying pressure of a Human Dao Foundation Establishment suddenly descended.

Yet from Qin Xuan’s perspective, the blow felt like less than a gentle breeze.

Qin Xuan: "..."

’I just called you Old Wang, why’d you get so worked up?’

With a flip of his hand, Qin Xuan made the Silver-White Long Sword in his grasp tremble lightly.

BUZZ!

A clear sword cry rang out. A gash was torn in the air, from which a pure, viscous "Crimson Gold" that resembled magma flowed out.

BOOM!

An incomplete Power of Position erupted from Qin Xuan’s body. Wang Jian’s body jolted violently, his pale face flushed an unnatural, blood-red hue from the force of the Position.

"Po-... Positional Divine Techniques!" Wang Jian spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression horrified.

"When did you become an Incense Master of the Holy Sect?!"

Qin Xuan grinned. "Just now."

Hearing this, Wang Jian’s face changed drastically.

"Master Qin, I didn’t mean to offend you... Please, retract your Position..."

Wang Jian trembled in fear. This dignified Foundation Establishment Demon actually dropped to his knees on the spot, kowtowing repeatedly to Qin Xuan, a mere Qi Cultivation Demon Cultivator.

Qin Xuan was taken aback.

He was still wondering why Wang Jian’s attitude had changed so dramatically.

He looked down and saw the White Jade Token in his robes glowing scorching hot, and at some point, it had appeared, pressing down on top of Wang Jian’s head.

’To think a small Token could possess such power!’

Qin Xuan said, "I preferred your previous arrogance. Bring it back."

Wang Jian forced an ugly smile onto his face, looking like he was about to cry.

Suddenly, before Qin Xuan could react, a surge of pure, domineering Demonic Essence erupted from the White Jade Token.

_Outer Sect Elder Wang Jian has offended a superior, violating Sect rules. He shall be made an example of!_

SPLASH!

One-third of the blood in Wang Jian’s body was abruptly stripped away, surging into Qin Xuan’s Lifebound Longsword!

BOOM!

A torrent of Demonic Essence surged tempestuously through him. His meridians swelled, his chest heaved violently, and an unprecedented feeling of euphoria rushed straight to his skull.

His Cultivation rose once again.

Qin Xuan was stunned, only recovering after a long moment.

’What a tyrannical Demon Order.’

’So this is what Senior Brother Jin meant by its other uses!’

Any Demon Cultivator from the Outer Demon Sect who dared to defy a high-ranking member of the Inner Sword Sect could have one-third of their blood and qi forcibly stripped from them within the Sect. Of course, it depended on one’s own strength and Cultivation.

"This rule is great, hahaha!" Qin Xuan laughed heartily.

Before becoming an Incense Master, Qin Xuan would have definitely cursed the damn Demon Sect for being so inhumane.

But now that he was a respected Incense Master of the Inner Sword Sect, he deeply felt the Holy Sect’s wisdom.

Wang Jian’s aura was feeble. Even after suffering such a huge loss, he remained rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch.

’The Demon Order took effect, which means his combat power is far above my own.’

Only after Qin Xuan’s figure vanished did he shakily stand up, a venomous look flashing in the depths of his eyes.

...

Two months slipped by in the blink of an eye.

「Inside the Cave Mansion」

Qin Xuan sat cross-legged, an imperceptible trace of fatigue on his face.

"I never thought this Void Proofing Technique would be so difficult to comprehend. It actually took me this long."

He opened his palm. An azure Spirit Stone, its Spiritual Qi completely depleted, turned to dust and scattered in the wind.

"Fortunately, heaven rewards the diligent. I’m finally about to succeed!"

Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy appearing in them.

True Inheritance can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false teachings fill ten thousand scrolls. Ever since the Nameless Senior Sister had given him guidance, Qin Xuan seemed to have reached an epiphany.

For the past two months,

Qin Xuan had been studying the Void Proofing Technique, and he had actually managed to figure out a few things.

"I have the Soul-devouring Banner, I have two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the Fire Crow Banner can also be modified."

"This means, including my own body, I can use the Void Proofing Technique to attain three Positional Divine Techniques in one go!"

Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up.

Because he had been deliberately suppressing it, his Cultivation had naturally reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation Eleventh Layer without him even having to actively practice, as if it were a river finding its course. He was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer.

He could break through in a single thought if he wanted to.

’No rush. It’s not time for my main body yet. For safety’s sake, I would rather die than attempt Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment prematurely.’

’But Void Proofing is worth considering.’

"The core of the Void Proofing Technique is to be at the Qi Cultivation realm and break through by borrowing the Foundation Establishment Position of a Cultivator within a Soul Banner."

"If I’m going to use Void Proofing, then I must not break through first."

"However, this raises a question. Which one should I use Void Proofing for first?"

Qin Xuan fell into deep thought.

’The Fire Crow Banner’s rank and materials are insufficient, which means the only remaining option for Void Proofing is the Soul-devouring Banner.’

’The Nameless Senior Sister said so.’

’A Soul-devouring Banner, plus a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who is a full Realm higher, allows one to perfectly use Void Proofing to attain a Divine Technique by borrowing their Position.’

Qin Xuan hadn’t understood before, but now he did.

"If I want to use a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s Position for Void Proofing, the prerequisite is that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator will obey my commands afterward."

"And the Ten Thousand Souls Banner has the power of a Curse Technique blessed by the Holy Sect, giving it absolute suppressive power over the souls contained within!"

’The Fire Crow Banner doesn’t have the Holy Sect’s exclusive Soul-Exorcising Spell, and its rank isn’t high enough.’

’In that case, the conclusion is clear.’

’Use the Soul-devouring Banner to perform Void Proofing on the Flame Demon!’

Qin Xuan looked at the dark gold Soul Banner in his palm.

"My dear Chen, I’m afraid you’ll have to suffer a bit first."

’The Divination warned me that attaining it myself would be dangerous. So, wouldn’t it be fine if I have someone else do it and the karma falls on them instead?’

Sure enough, when this thought emerged, the ball of light in his mind didn’t react at all.

Qin Xuan’s heart leaped with joy. ’The plan is feasible!’

...

「Inside the Soul-devouring Banner」

Within a magnificent, illusory palace.

Chen Lixuan was lying on a dragon throne like an emperor, surrounded by a flock of graceful and beautiful female souls, looking utterly content.

"Little Chong Zi, bring Us Our diary," Chen Lixuan said swaggeringly, a grape dangling from his mouth.

"Yes!" a small eunuch’s soul replied.

If Qin Xuan were here, he would have been furious. The little eunuch’s face was identical to the illusion of Shi Huaizhong he had created.

"Get lost."

After getting the diary, Chen Lixuan kicked the little eunuch away. Seeing ’Shi Huaizhong’ being beaten and berated by him without daring to make a sound, he felt immense satisfaction.

He opened his diary.

[September 6th: Communicated with the mortal female soul Aqian.]

[September 7th: Communicated with the mortal female soul Azi.]

[September 8th: That son of a bitch Shi Huaizhong messed with me again. Damn it! Blew off some steam. Had a deep communication with the three mortal female souls Aqian, Azi, and Little Hong!]

...

[September 11th: Communication.]

[September 12th: Communication.]

...

[September 22nd: Communication.]

Chen Lixuan clutched his chest in grief. "Li Xuan, oh, Li Xuan, you must not be so depraved!"

Then he wrote today’s entry.

[September 23rd: Missing Wan’Er. Had Aqian transform into Wan’Er to communicate with me.]

"Alright, mission accomplished!"

Chen Lixuan put down the diary with a clear conscience and buried his head once more in the land of tender affections.

To be honest, ever since entering the Soul-devouring Banner, Chen Lixuan felt like he had wasted his past life.

Because all the scenery within the Soul-devouring Banner could be manifested according to his wishes.

Moreover, among the tens of thousands of souls, he was the only one with Cultivation. Whatever he thought, it would be so. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was like a Venerable Divinity Transformation!

’The mortal female souls here speak so sweetly, their skills are so good, and they have so many tricks... It really makes you never want to leave!’

Other than not having a Flesh Body, Chen Lixuan felt it was much better than the outside world.

Most importantly, he didn’t have to live in constant fear, worrying that people from the Cold Nether Sect would come to hunt him down.

The only downside was the lack of personal freedom, and that dog Shi Huaizhong often came to torment him.

Just as Chen Lixuan was grinding his teeth in hatred, he suddenly felt his scalp tighten for no reason.

"Oh no, that bastard is going to mess with me again!"

Chen Lixuan had a premonition. Before he could react, the illusion before him changed abruptly.

RUMBLE!

A giant hand descended from the sky.

Wherever it passed, the palace collapsed, and Chen Lixuan’s beloved mortal female souls, Aqian, Azi, and the others, let out piercing screams.

"Damn you! I am a dignified Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator! How dare you..."

Chen Lixuan uttered his classic line. He thought that, just like before, he would suffer a bit and then it would be over. But this time was different.

Qin Xuan’s voice exploded like a clap of thunder.

"Flame Demon, reveal your true form!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

BOOM—!

It was like the roar of an ancient beast, making the entire world of the Soul Banner tremble.

The heavens collapsed and the earth split open in the void, spewing out vast swathes of pure, viscous "crimson" that resembled liquid magma.

Chen Lixuan’s pupils shrank. "This is the complete version of the Positional Divine Technique, Flame Demon!"

"No!"

Chen Lixuan howled in rage and despair. The temperature around him skyrocketed at a terrifying rate, and in an instant, he was annihilated by that sea of "crimson."

He could clearly sense that his Foundation Establishment Position was being melted away, and his original Divine Technique, the Profound Nether Abyss, was being forcefully pushed into a corner.

The deep, azure Profound Nether Domain abruptly transformed into a scorching dimension of ’crimson’.

BUZZ!

The [Profound Nether Abyss] let out a mournful cry, dull and deep like the exhalation of a great kun of the deep sea, and ripples spread out.

"Shi Huaizhong, you bastard! What kind of Evil Technique are you using?! Why is my Position now being used to prove your Divine Technique?!"

Tears of blood streamed from Chen Lixuan’s eyes as he trembled all over from despair and fear. "You... You will die a horrible death!"

BOOM!

As if in response to Chen Lixuan, a speck of pure white flame, so brilliant it was as if it contained a miniature sun, suddenly took form.

"AHH!" Chen Lixuan threw his head back and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Complex, crimson-gold talismans abruptly burst forth from his body.

These crimson-gold talismans changed endlessly, at times transforming into a soaring dragon, at others resembling a phoenix spreading its wings...

Finally, they tumbled and leaped before slowly contracting.

In the outside world, Qin Xuan, holding the dark gold Soul Banner, snapped his eyes open.

Even though the world inside the Soul-devouring Banner was being turned upside down, and even though Chen Lixuan’s soul was riddled with wounds, nothing seemed to have happened inside Qin Xuan’s Cave Mansion. Qin Xuan himself was completely unharmed.

Only an incredibly profound Power of Position rippled out around Qin Xuan.

"So this is the power of a Positional Divine Technique..."

Qin Xuan murmured, loosely clenching his palm as he watched the scorching flame that pulsed faintly, its form as illusory as a demon.

He felt his combat power had increased by several times over, if not more.

The Wu Fire Position.

Dunzang · Flame Demon. Void Proofing successful!
