Chen Ping's Sword

At the cultivation realm Chen Ping is at now.

Although the Tribulation Points still have an irreplaceable role, crucial for enhancing realms and extending lifespan.

However, with each small realm advancement, the amount of tribulation needed increases, causing the cultivation speed to gradually slow down.

This, in turn, highlights the importance of "Fortune."

Both "Innate Talent" and "Enlightenment" require fortune to enhance, elevating one’s cultivation talent from mediocre to eternally unparalleled...

Chen Ping can clearly sense that whenever he casually cultivates a circulation, with just a breath, his cultivation seems to grow like it’s been inflated.

Whether it’s Body Refining or Qi Refining, or even Spirit Refining, with superb innate talent and remarkable enlightenment, the cultivation speed is more than ten times faster compared to ordinary martial artists.

This is where the value of fortune lies.

It genuinely allows fate to be changed.

Of course, people’s hearts are never satisfied.

To put it bluntly, "insatiable desires," or more kindly, "ambitious with ideals and goals," actually mean the same thing.

Once basic needs are met, thoughts turn to the spouse... becoming the emperor, one desires immortality.

In truth, Chen Ping is not one of insatiable desires, yet the pursuit of immortality and eternal presence, wanting to see the more beautiful view at the end of cultivation, still exists.

Therefore, he could never disdain having too much fortune.

Nor would he despise his talents being too great.

The only fear is the territory being too small, not having enough fortune.

As for the Tribulation Value, there’s still 1584 points left, which is quite far from advancing to the next Divine Martial Realm.

As for fortune, after several battles, having extensive territory, and the gratitude of all living beings, about ten fortune points are contributed daily.

He has currently amassed 86 fortune points, feeling a bit impatient to find a quiet room and initiate Trace Origin and Steal Fortune.

Perhaps it’s because of the True Martial King’s cultivation reaching the Unity Realm.

Acquiring opportunity from him requires 80 points.

Seeing this number, Chen Ping paused for a moment.

Not because it’s too much, but because it’s too little.

From this, it can be seen.

In the judgment of the Spring and Autumn Silkworm’s attribute panel.

The opportunity gained from Trace Origin and Steal Fortune Talisman cannot compare to the enhancement of enlightenment and innate talent.

Thinking it through, Chen Ping understood.

The Spring and Autumn Silkworm very likely has a vision too far above his current cultivation.

Some gold or purple opportunities, which are highly useful to him now.

In its eyes, are actually fleeting clouds.

What truly holds value remains the innate talent and enlightenment.

No matter how high the cultivation, no matter what stage one reaches, these are always beneficial.

To truly break through everything and transcend all, it still relies on this destiny-changing talent.

Without Heaven’s Mandate, when fate is unfavorable, no amount of effort, no matter the opportunity, can grasp it.

It cannot be held, nor gained, and when gained, tribulation would strike.

This is the silent lesson taught by the Spring and Autumn Silkworm.

"So it seems, without truly rare opportunities, one should refrain from thinking about Trace Origin and Steal Fortune, as spending fortune points on this seems somewhat wasteful."

With a shift in thought, Chen Ping chuckled to himself.

This is essentially a choice between long-term and short-term benefits.

Of course, long-term benefits are indeed good.

However, if short-term survival and quickly enhancing one’s strength aren’t ensured, how could there be any long-term?

Therefore, when faced with purple opportunities, one must not miss them.

Boom...

As 80 fortune points burn, turning into a radiant torrent, it washes over his sea of consciousness and true spirit.

Chen Ping seems to see a rainbow passage, with spatial shifts and temporal disarray.

The surroundings transform suddenly, revealing golden-tiled jade platforms, ornate eaves, and a noble aura flooding the senses.

Reality and illusion become indistinguishable.

Chen Ping finds himself wearing golden armor, holding a golden longsword, with a red robe fluttering behind him, striding into the great hall with dragon steps and standing respectfully.

As if waiting for someone.

Beside him stands another person, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, wearing a jade crown and python robe, vaguely familiar, subtly nodding a greeting with a gentle expression.

"Sixth Brother, whether we succeed this time relies heavily on your three thousand Profound Armor Cavalry. The Imperial Forest Grand Governor Qiu Changtian is a confidant of the Demon Empress, nearly impossible to turn, only Sixth Brother’s personal intervention can take him down.

Otherwise, once Yujing City’s army outside reacts, this action will be for naught. After alerting them, any further attempt becomes futile."

"Rest assured, Third Brother, Second Brother is soft-hearted, blinded by beauty, which does Great Li no good. Since the first year of Yuanyang, seven years have passed, the inner palace remains empty, the Demon Empress usurped power, acting against the heavens."

The person Chen Ping embodied spoke with determination, fists clenched, making a cracking sound, evidently filled with rage.

Chen Ping also noticed that when this "Sixth Brother" got angry, a faint blood-colored dragon shape appeared, coiling and silently howling.

It looked eerily familiar.

Though unsurprising, Chen Ping was slightly astonished.

Unexpectedly, this Sixth Brother, the True Martial King, had reached the Unity Realm’s Extreme Intent Spirit Communication level seventeen years prior.

Seeing the lifelike spirit of the blood dragon and its concentrated true qi, estimating that reaching Extreme Intent Divinity Transformation Third Realm is not far off.

With just a bit of consideration, Chen Ping could infer from True Martial King Ji Changfeng’s positioning in Yujing and their plotted actions, roughly which time period he was witnessing.
