Chapter 125 : Surprise, Reward And Rapid Breakthrough
[Ding!]
[Congratulations]
[You've overcome the Level-1 Calamity.]
[You've increased the Lotus World Providence to High Tier 1.]
[You've increased the Fortune of the Barren Land.]
[Reward:
(1.) 5000 Destiny Points.
(2.) Five Auxiliary Professions.
(3.) One-time Use Resource Finder.
(4.) Six months of cultivation.]
Su Yen halted in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the notification before him. For a few moments, he was at a loss for words.
"So, that was a Level-1 Calamity," he mused, a slight twist of his lips indicating his thoughts.
But the rewards for passing the tribulation left his mouth watering for a moment. The number of Destiny Points made his head spin, and when he considered the rest of the rewards, his heart skipped a beat.
"With this, we should be able to develop quickly. Also, we can now defend against such threats in the future."
[Will you receive the rewards now?]
"Yes… but can I give the auxiliary professions to others?"
[Yes.]
A bright smile spread across his face as he saw the system's response. Then, a pure stream of spiritual essence surged into his body from the void.
His cultivation soared from the Intermediate Foundation Building realm stage 6 and continued to rise at a rapid pace, showing no intention of stopping.
Early stage 6...
Pop!
Early stage 7...
Early stage 8...
Early stage 9…
Stage 10, the Forbidden Realm.
When his cultivation reached the Foundation Building Forbidden Realm, it gradually came to a halt. All the deep injuries on his body had healed without leaving a scar.
The surrounding air swayed gently, brushing against his skin. His aura rose to another level, and the pressure emanating from his body made the very void tremble.
"So, this is what the Forbidden Realm feels like," he muttered, every cell of his being brimming with power, eager to erupt.
He felt as if he could defeat anyone in the world. However, he knew this was an illusion that came with his rapid breakthrough. Taking a deep breath, he calmed his excited mind.
"Now, let's see what this one-time resource finder will uncover," he thought aloud.
[Ding!]
[Resource Finder function activated.]
[Scanning...]
[Scanning completed.]
[Grade-1 Metal Ore Detected.]
Suddenly, the location of the Grade-1 Metal Ore appeared in Su Yen's mind. When he saw the location of the Grade-1 Metal Ore, his mouth slightly opened in astonishment.
The Grade-1 Metal Ore was only 1 kilometer away from his current location. For the past thousand years, the Barren Land had been thoroughly combed for resources, with nothing more valuable than ordinary ores being found.
Now, the system had scanned for just a few seconds and detected a Grade-1 Metal Ore. "System, what is the range of the scan?"
[10-kilometer radius.]
Su Yen sighed, shaking his head as he realized he couldn't compare the system's functions to those of humans.
For thousands of years, humans had searched hundreds of thousands of kilometers, yet they hadn't detected what was within a 10-kilometer radius.
Pushing aside unnecessary thoughts, Su Yen dashed toward the location of the Grade-1 Metal Ore. His speed was so astonishing that with each movement, the void itself trembled.
In a matter of seconds, he arrived in front of an inconspicuous small mountain. Even though it was referred to as a "small mountain," it reached over 10 meters in height.
Still, when compared to the towering peaks in the surrounding landscape, it appeared quite diminutive.
Su Yen extended his spiritual senses deep into the mountain. His consciousness traversed through the rock, delving more than ten meters below the surface before he finally sensed the presence of the metal ore.
As he explored the outskirts of the deposit, he made a significant discovery - the ore was of Grade-1 quality.
"Is the system telling me that this ore deposit is rich with Grade-1 metal?" He couldn't help but exclaim.
A grin crept across his face as his mind buzzed with ideas. He summoned Blue Wing to pick him up, his thoughts racing.
*****
A week had passed since the Barren Land faced a devastating attack from the Blood Whisperer and the awakening of their Pagoda Bloodline.
The land had mourned for three days to commemorate the lives lost before embarking on the arduous task of reconstruction.
Su Yen made appearances in all four cities, delivering words of encouragement and hope to the people.
His promises to the citizens brought a sense of solace amid their grief. They learned of his triumphant destruction of the man behind the Blood Whisperer and the public execution of the treacherous clan in Cloudweaver City.
On the day of the execution, the city overflowed with people.
Every member of the Jin clan met the same fate, from the youngest child to the eldest. Servants and non-servants alike were not spared, and even their animals met their end.
All the clan's wealth was distributed to the common people in every city, town, and village.
This act elevated Su Yen to a godlike status in their eyes.
With the dust settled, the people strove to resume their normal lives, buoyed by the hope of brighter days ahead.
Within the Celestial Heavenly Sect, all the elders gathered in the main hall. Their numbers had diminished due to the losses in the battle against the Blood Whisperer.
"The Sect Master has arrived," the guard outside the hall announced.
The elders immediately rose to their feet as Su Yen entered with determined steps.
"Please, be seated. There's much to discuss," Su Yen gestured to the chairs as he took his place on his throne.
The elders complied, and they all awaited Su Yen's lead. Su Yen observed the exhaustion etched into their faces and sighed inwardly.
He knew that both mentally and physically, they were drained. However, this was not the time to rest.
They needed to push forward, strengthen their defenses, and ensure that such a calamity never occurred again.
"I understand that all of you need rest, but this is not the time for complacency. Until we can guarantee that nothing of this magnitude can happen again, we must not let our guard down," Su Yen began with a solemn and resolute tone.
