Chapter 10: I Am a Good-for-Nothing! Piss Off!

“Check-in at Sword Lord statue +1”

“Acquired reward: Cultivation Base in the Empyrean Sword Manual, Riding Sword Section *20 years.”

Another 20 years of cultivation in the Riding Sword Section of the Empyrean Sword Manual.

This time Shen Changge felt his already profound understanding in the Empyrean Sword Manual once again progressing even further!

Shen Changge gently closed his eyes. In an instant, unfathomable winds surged, then gradually gathered and accelerated. Suddenly, the wind blew in a way that would numb one’s scalp, and immediately after, another gust surged. The sounds converged, shifting from the rush of winds rolling around in the clouds to that of rolling thunder. The force was majestic. The wind picked up the fallen leaves, and then as the energy altered forms, they were all annihilated within a fraction of a second!

“Arising!”

The third phase of the Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Sword Section, Arising!

In the massive Empyrean Sword Sect, perhaps only a few elders and exceptional junior disciples were able to use the power of Riding Art in the Arising phase.

In fact, Arising was not only limited to the Empyrean Sword Manual. This phase was also attainable by others who practiced other Riding Arts. However, though it was the same Arising phase, the difference would be miles apart.

The Arising in other manuals was sometimes just an invisible feeling that would leave people with their eyes wide open as they shouted inwardly: Gosh, that’s Arising!

However, the Arising from the Empyrean Sword Manual would incite winds and thunder and destroy withered leaves with energy imbued with great fervor.

The others’ faces would turn pale as they thought: What the heck? Run!

That was the difference between the two.

Shen Changge took a deep breath.

“Who’s there?” he asked.

At that moment, disciples on morning patrol came from afar. Seemingly having felt the indescribable energy, they dared not to approach and only shouted from a distance.

Shen Changge left, leaving behind a ground full of Tempest Force.

After quite some time, the two disciples slowly approached with great caution.

“Oh my gosh. Is this Thunder Force? Aside from the elders and senior brother Qingchen, who else is at that stage in cultivation?”

“It has been said that the demon from yesterday was killed by a Sword Cultivator who had already attained the Sword Shifting phase... many are guessing that a hidden ace from the Empyrean Sword Sect might have made a move... I thought that person was just at the Sword Shifting phase. Could it be that he is already at the Arising phase? Besides, what we’re feeling here is the extremely rare Tempest Force... the Thunder Sword, that is. It signifies dominance and absolute power...”

The eyes of the two disciples were looking back and forth.

“I think I saw someone running off in that direction!”

With that being said, the other disciple’s pupils shrank. free(w)ebnovel.com

“Keep quiet! Do not offend the elder!”

The two disciples hurriedly bowed with respectful eyes.

...

“Check-in at Training Ground, Success +1”

“Acquired reward: 30 years Cultivation Base / Spirit Guidance *1.”

Spirit Guidance!

Shen Changge felt butterflies inside.

That was a spiritual breathing technique!

At that moment, after gaining 30 years of cultivation, Shen Changge’s Cultivation Base was only raised to Middle-stage Qi Bending.

This had Shen Changge seriously doubting his own innate talent.

“Am I seriously that bad?

“Who ruled that world travelers with a system must be matched up with a host that is good for nothing?!”

Shen Changge felt that such a concept was wrong!

If he were to write a novel in the future to be passed down through the ages, he would definitely give the main protagonist an overpowered vessel. A Supreme Body, Supreme Bones right off the bat. He would trigger a Great Anomaly and shake the entire universe while he was still in his mother’s womb!

Shen Changge sighed, then shifted all his focus into studying the book of Spiritual Guidance.

Spiritual breathing technique!

Something that was extremely rare.

It was rare even back during the times when the Empyrean Sword Sect was in its heyday...

Going by Shen Changge’s impressions of his past life, spiritual breathing techniques were a baseline kind of thing. However, spiritual breathing techniques in this world were obviously not that simple. After all, in this age, the Spiritual Energy hovering between heaven and earth was quick and forceful. Because of that, it was most suitable for training in the way of the sword. This would imply that, when using the breathing techniques, one’s absorption of Spiritual Energy would be massive. At the earlier stages, cultivators would just constantly polish their meridians to enhance their toughness.

As the easier spiritual breathing techniques would never be able to drive such intense and forceful Spiritual Energy, spiritual breathing techniques were extremely hard to come by.

For instance, this spiritual breathing technique had the very simple name of Spiritual Guidance.

A chain of connecting information exploded in Shen Changge’s mind and made him feel as if he was being overwhelmed. It was too cumbersome. The amount of information, one Spirit Guidance manual; the work behind it was extremely complicated!

A suitable spiritual breathing technique had many effects.

The effects could include aura concealing, spiritual energy siphoning, cultivation speed, improved spiritual energy regeneration, and maybe even imperceptibly enhancing one’s talent level!

For that reason, in the past, only the core disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect’s main sect were eligible to train in the powerful spiritual breathing techniques!

“I’ll get myself to Entry level in this. If I check in to more Cultivation Bases in the future, the effects should be doubled with Spiritual Guidance in place!”

Shen Changge was extremely satisfied.

He decided to cultivate for the time being.

At that moment in time, his strength had already taken a leap forward.

He was middle-stage Qi Bending, Arising phase in the Riding Sword Section of the Empyrean Sword Manual, and in Shen Changge’s mind, it would only be a matter of days while checking in before he would arrive at the next phase, the Controlling Phase.

...

He had mastery over Riding Art: Wind Chase and Assaulting Art: Scarlet Lightning.

It could be said that these two sword arts were something that most people in the sect were not even capable of grasping.

To put it simply, they did not have Riding Swords or Assaulting Swords!

Shen Changge in his current state was probably invincible among the disciples.

And it was noteworthy that this was just his fifth day of checking in!

Was this a legit way of cheating the system?

Shen Changge could not help but shake his head. He then slowly walked to the base of Empyrean Peak.

The area was already surrounded by a bunch of disciples and, seemingly because the decayed rooster’s corpse was there, it was clear to see that the dark mist in the distance was slowly dissipating. Only the dissipation itself was not obvious.

“Senior brother?”

Someone had spotted Shen Changge.

One disciple slowly walked to Shen Changge, his eyes looking extremely solemn.

...

“Senior brother, I heard that you’ve stepped into the Enlightenment stage. I’ve been stuck in this stage for a very long time, so I was wondering if you could provide me with some guidance?”

This disciple was in about Middle-stage Enlightenment.

He was not an honest person back in the normal days. In fact, typically speaking, when a junior said something like that to his senior, no issues would arise. After all, it was normal for seniors to provide guidance to their juniors. However, this was happening only because, in their eyes, Shen Changge had just stepped into the Enlightenment stage!

Therefore, this person was just pretending to be confused to make things difficult for Shen Changge.

Ji Ling could not help but sneer in his heart.

However, Shen Changge pushed him away immediately.

“Guidance? Go to the old geezer for that. Why did you even come to me? When have you ever seen me guiding somebody? I am a good-for-nothing, so, piss off!”

Shen Changge did not mince his words.

What are these little boys thinking?

A bunch of ants.

Just go to h*ll.

Ji Ling was stunned.

He had been pushed to the side.

However, the moment that Shen Changge touched him, something seemingly shattered underneath his clothes. Suddenly, his heart trembled violently. Looking at Shen Changge’s receding figure, his eyes were full of disbelief.

He had just acquired a treasure.

But just now, the treasure had shattered.
