Ning Xunqiu closed the "Celestial Derivation Volume" with a snap, expressionless.
How did he die like this? Couldn't catch a breath? Such a "shameful" way to die, he couldn't bear to look.
"Was the Cultivator's cultivation that the junior sister mentioned also Qi Cultivation?"
"Thirty thousand layers of Qi Cultivation?!"
"So... it's not the Qi Cultivation Stage? But rather a Qi Cultivator?"
Thinking of this, Ning Xunqiu flipped through the "Celestial Derivation Volume".
[The junior sister said she acquired a heritage cultivation technique "Wind and Dew Qi Collection Scripture" within, painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years above the Dragon Vein, achieving 'Qi Cultivation' success, life span of five hundred years.]
[The deceased Cultivator named "Duan Hong", a disciple of the Divine Land "Moral Immortal Sect", was ordered to cross the sea with eight Qi Cultivation Immortal Masters. Eight hundred years ago, the North Sea Loose Cultivator "Profound Flood Dragon" came to obstruct the Dao, and both fell here.]
[As long as the junior sister goes to the Divine Land to inform "Tianhe True Master" of the Moral Immortal Sect about the Daoist Treasure "Mountain and River Seal" of Duan Hong, she can become a "Registered Disciple".]
...
"Dragon Vein, Divine Land, Moral Immortal Sect, ordered to cross the sea, obstruct the Dao, Daoist Treasure Mountain and River Seal."
Ning Xunqiu extracted key words one by one, finally clarifying his thoughts.
"The Qi Cultivator 'Duan Hong' was ordered to cross the sea, battled the North Sea Loose Cultivator 'Profound Flood Dragon', and fell. The name Profound Flood Dragon sounds like a demon, Flood Dragon? Dragon? Dragon Vein is the Profound Flood Dragon? Should this be why Jin Country cannot perish?"
"Eight hundred years ago?"
"The history of the Seven Kingdoms is only eight hundred years..."
Ning Xunqiu's eyelids twitched violently, and an inspiration streaked through his mind like lightning.
He suddenly lifted his head, his gaze piercing through the heavens, eyes filled with shock, like a frog that had lived at the bottom of a well for a long time, gazing for the first time at the vast world outside.
"Here——"
He had always thought the world he transmigrated to, the ancient kingdom of eight hundred years past, was buried in the flames of the "Hundred Kingdoms Struggle".
He never considered another possibility:
Perhaps this world since its birth has only passed through eight hundred years.
"The meteorite Divine Technique appeared twice unexpectedly, accurately fell in the army, even if a fallen Cultivator had this Divine Technique, it couldn't be so precise. Then what did he rely on to counterattack?"
"Fortune!!"
Ning Xunqiu conjectured.
"Is this world either within the Profound Flood Dragon's body or within the Magical Treasure Mountain and River Seal, or formed after both fell?"
"They have entangled and battled here for eight hundred years, until Jin Country unified the world, winning the victory."
"Ordered to cross the sea, the words crossing the sea are extraordinary, what are they competing for? Why does the Profound Flood Dragon block the Dao? Dao Lineage? Fortune? Heaven and earth?"
"After Duan Hong crosses the sea, can he attain Dao?!!"
Ning Xunqiu suddenly thought of a question.
"So... this Qi Cultivator close to 'Attainment', his Golden Light Talisman, array, Divine Techniques, and so on, are incomparable to ordinary Qi Cultivation Immortal Masters?"
Previously, he was constantly being stylishly besieged by Cultivators. What of Innate Martial Artist? What of a vast army? They're just ants, giving Ning Xunqiu great frustration.
But from another perspective.
How could such a figure likely be just a minor character?
The normal strength of Qi Cultivation Immortal Masters is certainly not comparable to "Duan Hong" of the Moral Immortal Sect.
Yet Ning Xunqiu could slightly engage him in the void, his Martial Arts cultivation was not as weak as he imagined.
"Could it be? Perhaps? Am I actually terrifyingly strong in Qi Cultivation!"
"So, I was the mosquito being shot at with cannons?"
Ning Xunqiu felt he was truly incredibly unlucky.
Who could have imagined that the first Cultivator encountered in the Newbie Village would be a top-grade big shot?
At this moment, a sound reached his ears.
[Congratulations, you completed the White Achievement "First as a Teacher": you have taught two direct disciples in your lifetime. This achievement transcends 61% of people in Qingxu Realm.
Reward obtained: Ruler*1 (Claimable)]
[Congratulations, you completed the Blue Achievement "Hundred-Year-Old Man": a lifetime of a hundred years, like a white horse passing by, you lived over a hundred years in the Qingxu Realm with an average age of thirty. This achievement transcends 95% of people in Qingxu Realm.
Reward obtained: "Alchemy Introduction" (Claimable)]
[Congratulations, your turbulent life has been rated as a White Life "Sea Gazer": in the Vast Sea Land, there is one sea gazer, day after day, year after year waiting for people to return.
Reward obtained: One Point Comprehension (Claimable)]
Ning Xunqiu was not surprised by these achievement levels; the highest achievement that can be brushed out in the mortal world should only be purple.
Above that, involving fortune, this world would not allow him to complete.
He claimed the rewards one by one.
The most valuable among them was the Blue Achievement reward "Alchemy Introduction", he casually flipped through it, detailing the nuances of beginner alchemy, how to improve fire control, and how to extract the essence of Spirit Medicine.
Additionally, three pill formulas were included.
The first is to strengthen the body and replenish blood·Strength Pill.
The second is for healing and repair·Dust-removing Pill.
The third is to enhance cultivation·Cyan Pine Pill.
Ning Xunqiu focused on the Cyan Pine Pill, most of the treasure medicines required for it he had never heard of, and the main herb was called 'A Glimmer of Green Pine'.
His face darkened slightly, and he directly went to look at the Strength Pill.
This seemed more normal. Based on the description of the required treasure medicines, he could at least gather some of them.
This "Alchemy Introduction" came at the right time. Having previously acquired "Moonlight Dew," he also needed to delve into alchemy.
In reality, cultivation must not be neglected.
The next day.
Ning Xunqiu once again used a bit of fortune to rewrite his life.
...
[I intercepted Jiang Hong's "Ascension Tower." When the Child of Destiny, Jiang Xuan, becomes a Qi Cultivation Immortal Master and emerges, I will challenge him. We agreed not to use the Golden Light Talisman. I will unleash the "Sword Demon Heart Eye" and the "Seven Swords of Cross and Vertical" with all my strength.]
[Jiang Xuan's Sword Light Technique extends over ten feet, its power is extraordinary, and ordinary Innate ones probably can't withstand it. However, his body is merely mortal; I have a seventy percent chance of killing him.]
[Jiang Xuan was shocked, exclaiming at the abnormal strength of a mere mortal warrior.]
[Indeed, I am terrifyingly strong.]
[Before long, my junior sister Gao Fei Xue and I boarded the Child of Destiny Jiang Xuan's "Ascension Tower" to cross the "Demon Realm," preparing to leave this world.]
[Traveling eight hundred miles, the sea water was pitch black, as if something massive was churning underneath. In the turbulence, the Ascension Tower shattered.]
[Jiang Xuan immediately flew up, tearing open a "Golden Light Talisman" to unleash a thousand-foot Golden Light Slash. The sea roared furiously, a dark shadow flashed by, and we were all buried in the sea.]
...
"Sure enough, we can't get out."
"The Profound Flood Dragon is also not entirely dead, still able to resist in the central region far from this world. Jiang Xuan is definitely not the last Child of Destiny."
Ning Xunqiu finished reading the "Celestial Derivation Volume" and rubbed his brow.
[Fortune: Three~Eight.]
Ning Xunqiu glanced at the fortune panel and pondered for a moment.
"Rewriting life only to repeat the same mistakes wastes fortune. In the Seven Kingdoms, before sixty, with my current strength, as long as I don't touch taboos, I could sweep the world."
"I can recover one point of fortune each year, but I only have an eight-point 'fortune cap.' Directly rewriting to obtain Duan Hong's cultivation method 'Wind and Dew Qi Collection Scripture' requires twenty-eight points of fortune."
"The only way for me to gain fortune now is to continue to receive the favor of 'Qingxu Realm's Martial Fortune,' which means I have to create five more Martial Arts Realms?"
Ning Xunqiu paused for a moment.
"No, it took eight hundred years of the wisdom of predecessors to easily step into the Innate realm. Even if I dominate the world, in one lifetime, I may not necessarily create one Martial Arts Realm."
"However."
"How can I gain 'fortune' without undertaking such earth-shattering tasks? How can I achieve a [Purple] or higher achievement? How can I fight the Profound Flood Dragon to leave here?"
"I cannot just sit here and wait for death; I need to go somewhere else to achieve life success—"
Ning Xunqiu's gaze fell on the opening of the "Celestial Derivation Volume."
Previously, he dared not rewrite the text before the current timeline in the "Celestial Derivation Volume."
Worried that if the established reality in the "Celestial Derivation Volume" changes, it would affect reality.
He would not have transmigrated to the Qingxu Realm.
[My name is Ning Xunqiu. I have an earth-shattering secret: I am a transmigrator.]
Ning Xunqiu looked at the first sentence in the opening of the "Celestial Derivation Volume," took a deep breath, and picked up the Spring and Autumn Brush to strike it out.
Then he picked up the brush again and wrote two paragraphs of text.
[My name is Ning Xunqiu. I have an earth-shattering secret: I am a transmigrator. During the transmigration, an accident caused my divine spirit to duplicate, sharing memory and talent.]
[One version of me transmigrated to the Qingxu Realm, and the other to an unknown world.]
After a while.
[Would you like to permanently use five points of fortune to rewrite this chapter of your life?]
"Starting a new life requires permanently using five points of fortune; I'm still three points short."
"Just in time, I'll take these three years to improve my martial cultivation."
Three months later, Ning Xunqiu's martial skills reached Great Success.
He went to White Cloud Hall, retrieved a treasure sword, and quietly descended the mountain.
To cultivate peacefully on the mountain.
The first step.
He needed to kill King Yu and Guo Xian first.
