Su Ming, who had been cultivating, was shocked by the prompt from the system. “So this is the Child of Destiny? I stole his Three Saints Golden Lotus, yet he still found another opportunity to heal and reach the 8th stage Extraordinary Realm. Though he didn’t activate his bloodline power, it’s still a breakthrough. I arranged for him to be thrown into Flame Prison Cliff, and within an hour he encountered a great opportunity…”
But thinking it over, it actually made perfect sense. The protagonist is thrown into a forbidden area, and somehow stumbles upon a secret fortune that no one else has ever discovered—classic plot logic. “If nothing goes wrong, he’ll probably gain some sort of fire-related ability when he comes out…”
Su Ming rubbed his forehead. In the original novel, Flame Prison Cliff had never been described as a place of fortune, so he had instinctively overlooked that possibility. “No, I can’t rely too heavily on the original plot. I have to treat this seriously. If he accidentally gains another great opportunity in the future, things could get messy…”
Fortunately, he still had the system. Those Destiny Points, which had seemed useless before, finally had value now. “System, what kind of great opportunity is Chu Fan receiving right now? How many Destiny Points are required to interfere or even destroy it?”
Su Ming glanced at his panel—he currently had 2,000 Destiny Points.
[The Child of Destiny, Chu Fan, is about to obtain the Sunfire Spiritual Body. You may choose one of the following options:]
[Spend 1,000 Destiny Points to delay Chu Fan’s acquisition of the Sunfire Spiritual Body.]
[Spend 1,500 Destiny Points to reduce Chu Fan’s chances of obtaining the Sunfire Spiritual Body.]
[Spend 2,000 Destiny Points to completely sever Chu Fan’s connection to the Sunfire Spiritual Body.]
“So it’s the Sunfire Spiritual Body—one of the strongest special physiques in this world.”
Although it still couldn’t compare to the Supreme Chaos Body, Su Ming didn’t want him to have it either. Of the three options, the first two were out of the question. Anything less than a guaranteed result wasn’t worth the risk. That left only the third option.
Just as Su Ming consumed the Destiny Points to sever Chu Fan’s opportunity, he suddenly thought of something. “Uncle Meng, where exactly did you leave Chu Fan in Flame Prison Cliff?”
“Young Master, I threw both of them into the core region of Flame Prison Cliff, and placed a formation to prevent them from escaping or being rescued.”
Hearing this, Su Ming confirmed his suspicion. “As expected, with Chu Fan’s current strength, there’s no way he could obtain the Sunfire Spiritual Body on his own.”
Though Uncle Meng had set up a formation, Trinity Saint Sect wasn’t short on capable people. Someone like Li Jianping, who was also at the peak of the Star Realm, could break it without being noticed. It was clear—Uncle Meng had just sent Chu Fan in, and Li Jianping had followed with Ye Nantian, helping Chu Fan awaken the Sunfire Spiritual Body under the aura of protagonist’s luck.
But such a powerful special constitution couldn’t be awakened just because Li Jianping said so. Only one item in the Trinity Saint Sect could help—
That herb was something Su Ming himself had given the sect. “Since it was mine to begin with, I should take it back…”
“Uncle Meng,” Su Ming said, “please take my personal token and retrieve the Sunfire Spirit Herb from the sect’s treasury. I need it to break through. The sooner the better!”
Although puzzled by Su Ming’s sudden request, Uncle Meng complied. “Understood, Young Master.”
After Uncle Meng left, Su Ming immediately checked Chu Fan’s situation through the system. If the manual interference failed, he would sever the opportunity directly via the system.
“Chu Fan, I’ll see how much longer your luck holds out.”
…
Sect treasury.
As a peak Star Realm cultivator, Uncle Meng was faster than Ye Nantian and reached the treasury doors first.
The elder guarding the treasury stepped forward and blocked his way. “The sect treasury. Halt.”
Uncle Meng eyed the elder cautiously—this one was also at the peak of the Star Realm. “My Young Master is close to breaking through and needs the Sunfire Spirit Herb inside. Don’t tell me Trinity Saint Sect intends to break its promise?”
As Uncle Meng revealed Su Ming’s personal token, the elder’s stern expression shifted. He knew exactly how special Su Ming was in the sect, and the agreement between the sect and Su Ming’s parents was something he had personally witnessed.
Having watched over the treasury for years, the elder wasn’t well informed about current events, so he didn’t question the request. Thus, the Sunfire Spirit Herb, stored securely in the sect treasury, landed in Uncle Meng’s hands.
After carefully storing it, he turned and headed back toward Chenyang Peak.
But just as he was leaving, he spotted Ye Nantian approaching. The moment their eyes met, Ye Nantian had a bad feeling.
When he arrived at the treasury and presented Li Jianping’s sect master token to request the Sunfire Spirit Herb, that ominous feeling became reality.
“You mean to say that brat Su Ming already took the Sunfire Spirit Herb?!”
“Yes. According to the agreement with his parents, we couldn’t refuse. Besides, the herb originally came from Su Ming—it’s only rightful that it returned to him.” This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
The elder guarding the treasury found it strange. That herb had been untouched for years, and suddenly two people wanted it on the same day.
Ye Nantian clenched his teeth so hard they almost cracked. If he weren’t outmatched, he would’ve attacked the elder right then.
His disciple’s great opportunity had just been destroyed by Su Ming!
“Su Ming! You ruined my disciple’s fortune! I… I…”
Ye Nantian stood there, raging helplessly. But there was nothing he could do.
Su Ming had a peak Star Realm Dao Guardian at his side and Heavenly Dao Realm parents behind him. If Ye Nantian were alone, maybe he could go die with Su Ming.
But he wasn’t alone. He had his sect. He had disciples.
Drenched in the cold water of reality, Ye Nantian quickly composed himself and rushed back to Flame Prison Cliff to find Li Jianping. He had to report what had just happened.
Meanwhile, in Su Ming’s hand was the Sunfire Spirit Herb that Li Jianping and the others had dreamed of.
[Host has successfully severed the Child of Destiny’s great opportunity. Gained 3,000 Destiny Points.]
[Detected: The Child of Destiny is acquiring another opportunity. Would you like to spend Destiny Points to interfere?]
Even though the Sunfire Spirit Herb was now in his possession, Chu Fan still had another opportunity? It might have become a minor one, but he couldn’t be careless.
“Uncle Meng, please head to Flame Prison Cliff again and check on their condition.”
“Understood… Oh, Young Master, the matter you asked me to investigate earlier still has no result.”
“Forget the matter of the Trinity Saint Pool for now. Go to Flame Prison Cliff first.”
Su Ming wanted to see if he could completely crush Chu Fan’s opportunities even without relying on the system.
