Calculated by the Entire Sect? Don't Cry When Your Whole Family is Slaughtered! - Chapter 10

Inside the Deduction Hall of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the Heavenly Secret Elder, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

“Puff—”

The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood without any warning.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel such a strong sense of unease in my heart?”

The Heavenly Secret Elder’s mind was disturbed. He immediately began to pinch his fingers and perform a divination.

This calculation instantly made him break out in a cold sweat: “Hmm, the Son of Destiny’s luck is declining. How is this possible!”

Just then, a crack appeared in the void, and a Heavenly Secret Pavilion disciple’s voice came from within: “Elder, something has happened. The luster of the Son of Destiny’s fate plate has dimmed considerably.”

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Secret Elder immediately transformed into a wisp of spiritual light and pierced through the void crack.

When he saw that the fate plate in the fate plate chamber, which symbolized Ye Fan’s luck, had begun to grow dim, he immediately collapsed onto the ground.

“Impossible, this is impossible! Ye Fan is a Son of Destiny protected by the Heavenly Dao. His luck is enough to influence the entire Ancient Continent.

He is one of the destined rulers of this world’s future. How could his luck decline, and so severely at that? Something must have gone wrong.”

The disciple beside him replied: “Elder, should we send someone to the Heavenly Feather Sect to investigate what exactly happened there?”

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Secret Elder immediately composed himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to deduce again.

“Hmm?”

With a surprised grunt, he opened his eyes again.

“Elder, what’s wrong? Why is your expression so solemn?”

“Issue my order: immediately dispatch Tan Beihuan and Ai Bieli to the Heavenly Feather Sect to investigate the cause.

If they discover any anomaly that harms the luck of the Son of Destiny, no matter who it is, they must eradicate them immediately!”

“Yes, disciple takes leave.”

After his disciple left, the Heavenly Secret Elder once again began to perform divinations.

“Strange, I had already fully comprehended the heavenly secrets three thousand years ago.

But why can’t I deduce the reason for Ye Fan’s luck decline?

Could there be some unknown force at work?”

Thinking of this, he stood up and looked at Ye Fan’s fate plate, gradually falling into deep thought.

…

At this moment, Shen Lian, who had left the Heavenly Feather Sect, was gently fanning himself while boating on the Serene Heart Lake.

“On my first day in this world, I caused such a big commotion. The Heavenly Feather Sect and those seven white-eyed wolves will definitely not stand by and do nothing.

To survive, I must diligently raise my cultivation before they make their move. My current Divine Transformation Ninth Layer cultivation is still too weak.

If I cultivate step by step, even if my physical cultivation fully recovers, it will still take three years to return to the Void Refinement Seventh Layer.

That’s too slow. I must find a way to quickly raise my foundation to cope with the coming situation.”

In fact, although Shen Lian acted arrogantly, it didn’t mean he was brainless.

His rampage and killing spree in the Heavenly Feather Sect were the result of careful consideration.

The Heavenly Feather Ancestor was in crucial secluded cultivation. Shen Lian deduced that he couldn’t possibly appear at this time to help Ye Fan.

Of the Heavenly Feather Five Peaks, three Peak Masters had gone with Shen Chuyun to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range to deal with the beast tide seal. The sect lacked concentrated power to deal with him.

The true combat power remaining was only Heavenly Sword Peak and Crimson Flame Peak, along with four nominally positioned sect elders.

After dealing with them, there would be no external force to prevent him from leaving the Heavenly Feather Sect smoothly.

Everything was the result of Shen Lian’s meticulous calculation.

So-called arrogance must have the capital for arrogance. Arrogance without a brain can only be called foolish.

This principle was naturally all too familiar to Shen Lian, who had been operating under the law of the jungle for nearly a hundred lifetimes.

While he was lost in thought, the old man steering the boat suddenly spoke: “Guest, where are you going? Ahead is the Heavenly Feather Sect’s spiritual vein mine. Would you like to disembark there?”

“Spiritual vein mine?”

Upon hearing this news, relevant memories immediately surfaced in Shen Lian’s mind.

“The spiritual vein mine is the main source of spiritual energy for the Heavenly Feather Sect’s outer disciples, connected to the local earth vein.

This was also discovered and gifted to the Heavenly Feather Sect by the original owner, that waste, over a hundred years ago.

And the Heavenly Feather Sect, relying on this spiritual vein, rapidly expanded, successfully becoming one of the four great sects of the Eastern Domain. Hmm…”

Thinking of this, a sinister arc appeared at the corner of Shen Lian’s mouth.

“Since this was my gift, I have the right to take it back. All the wastes of the Heavenly Feather Sect only deserve to struggle in the mud and wait for death.”

With that, Shen Lian directly threw a spiritual stone to the boatman behind him.

Before the boatman could react, Shen Lian had already disappeared.

“An immortal, it’s an immortal! I, Old Zhang San, have finally seen an immortal!”

The boatman who witnessed this scene immediately knelt on the small boat, repeatedly bowing his head.

…

Above the spiritual vein mine, Shen Lian stood in the void, coldly observing the myriad laborers toiling below like ants.

They endured the beatings and curses of the Heavenly Feather Sect’s overseer disciples, not daring to stop for a moment.

“Hmph, a bunch of wastes, learning superficial skills, but only using them to oppress mortals. Do such actions deserve the title of cultivator? Truly laughable!”

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, quickly setting up a spirit-gathering array around him.

“Next, it’s time to bring everything back to its starting point!”

He didn’t hesitate at all, directly activating the “Profound Yellow Art of the Universe.”

Instantly, the spirit-gathering array activated, beginning to frantically draw the spiritual vein’s essence towards the array.

In just ten breaths, with the assistance of thousands of times the suction force, the vast spiritual energy contained within the spiritual vein, like a breached dam, surged furiously into the spirit-gathering array.

As spiritual energy, hundreds of times more abundant than in the morning, entered his body, Shen Lian’s cultivation began to rise again.

Divine Transformation Ninth Layer…

Divine Transformation Peak!

…

Breakthrough!

Void Refinement First Layer.

As expected, Shen Lian successfully broke through to the Void Refinement Realm. Immediately, the spiritual power deep within his Elixir Sea increased several times compared to when he started his killing spree in the Enforcement Hall an hour ago.

The laborers working in the mine instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Why did the previously bright and vibrant high-grade spiritual stones suddenly dim?

Initially, only a few people noticed this, but they didn’t pay too much attention. After all, this wasn’t the first time such a situation had occurred, for example, spiritual stones sometimes had cracks that caused spiritual energy leakage, lowering their grade.

But gradually, more and more laborers noticed the anomaly.

The rate of spiritual energy loss was simply too terrifying. The perfectly good high-grade spiritual stones plummeted to low-grade in the blink of an eye, and finally even transformed into ordinary rocks.

Even more exaggerated, the spiritual stones that had already been collected, which were previously confirmed to be perfectly intact, began to rapidly lose quality in the blink of an eye, eventually also becoming ordinary, broken stone fragments.

“What’s going on? Why is this happening?”

Several Heavenly Feather Sect disciples watched the spiritual stones in their hands rapidly turn into waste stones, instantly filled with terror.

While they were still confused about the spiritual stones’ degradation, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently.

“Oh no, it’s an earthquake!”

All the miners immediately dropped their tools and furiously fled out of the mine.

It was then that the entire spiritual vein mine began to collapse, with signs of a landslide appearing.

The Heavenly Feather Sect disciples who were still studying the spiritual stones could no longer care about such matters and collectively ran out of the mine.

And Shen Lian, who was controlling all this in the void, was fully concentrating on absorbing the vast, abyss-like spiritual energy, frantically raising his cultivation foundation.

At this point, the entire spiritual vein’s spiritual energy had already been rapidly absorbed and exhausted under the thousands of times magnified spirit-gathering array.

But his goal didn’t stop there; he didn’t even spare the earth vein that nourished the spiritual vein.

Void Refinement Fourth Layer…

Void Refinement Fifth Layer…

Void Refinement Sixth Layer!

It wasn’t until his cultivation rose to Void Refinement Sixth Layer that the spiritual vein, spanning seven hundred li, suddenly withered and collapsed.

Upon losing the mountain’s cover, the earth vein stored there was no longer obstructed, directly rushing out of the ground, completely drawn into the spirit-gathering array created by Shen Lian.

“Phew…”

Finally, after his cultivation reached the peak of Void Refinement, he slowly exhaled.

The earth vein that had nurtured this place for hundreds of thousands of years had been completely absorbed.

“The price of offending me, who among you can bear it? Don’t rush, this is just the beginning.

I will trample each and every one of you into the abyss of mud, making you gaze up at me ascending to the peak of the Grand Dao with the most terrified eyes, and then die with regret in despair,

Hahahaha—”

After leaving behind a burst of arrogant and unrestrained laughter in the void, Shen Lian transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance, leaving behind a scene of desolate ruins.
