Chapter 822: Chapter 269: “I, Ling Shiqi, am the one destined by Heavenly Destiny!!!”_5

What a pity, he wasn’t injured.

If he’d been slightly injured, he could have started to recuperate with a clear conscience, lying in a rocking chair and doing nothing, blending into nature. The scenery behind Chao Tian Sect’s mountain, tended by the Brown Bear Clan over the years, was quite pleasant, to which he was very fond.

But if he did so without injury, a tinge of guilt would arise.

Even if he chose to laze about, he wouldn’t be comfortable lying down.

After the shackles of the state lands were lifted, and before heading to Qi Tian Continent, he wondered if there might be a chance to get a bit injured. Life couldn’t be tense all the time; it was necessary to loosen up now and then.

Chen Qiu shook his head, choosing not to dwell on it, and settled cross-legged on the Xuantian Throne, eyeing the few strands of red light floating above his Dantian.

The three “Heavenly Dao Decrees” had rewarded him with three strands of “Heavenly Destiny,” which under the green entry “Imperial Decree Regular,” became six. The grade did not necessarily determine the strength of an entry, as with his green entry, he wouldn’t exchange even for a red one.

Even if it were a Seven-colored term, well…

If it were a Seven-colored term, then he would have to seriously consider it.

–

“Treasure Name”: A Strand of Heavenly Destiny.

“Acquisition Source”: Reward by the Heavenly Dao Decree following a phenomenal achievement, etc.

“Usage Effect”:

1: Item used in the Immortal Realm, not showing any effect in continents below Fourth-grade.

–

“Hmm?”

Chen Qiu looked at the treasure panel before him with a strange expression. He had used the “All-Knowing” entry to check the effect of a Strand of Heavenly Destiny, and then this panel shrouded in mist had popped up.

An item of the Immortal Realm, he could understand.

But being outside the Immortal Realm and not even being able to see what the effect is, wasn’t that going a bit too far?

Which means…

Continents of Fifth-grade and above are the Immortal Realm, where one may become an Immortal.

Every Cultivator’s ultimate goal is to become an Immortal. For the vast majority, a Fifth-grade Continent is a place of great anticipation, for it signifies becoming a true Immortal, roaming the heavens and earth with longevity matching that of the universe itself.

With a total of six strands of Heavenly Destiny, he could vaguely sense that these could be combined in threes; unlike Heavenly Pride Fortune which fused automatically, he could decide whether or not to fuse these six strands through his will.

Naturally, he chose not to combine them. Without knowing their effects, he wouldn’t rashly combine them; he’d wait until he reached the Immortal Realm to do so.

He was quite curious about what the Immortal Realm was like.

And just what sort of abilities those so-called Immortals had.

Although he didn’t know the specific effects, he was sure of one thing: this Strand of Heavenly Destiny was no ordinary thing. The difficulty of acquisition aside, the very term destined it to be extraordinary.

If one had to pick the most charismatic term in the Chinese language, “Heavenly Destiny” would not only top the list but would also be at the forefront, exuding a cultural allure just by being mentioned.

He would see what kind of treasure it was once he got to the Immortal Realm.

“Sigh…”

Chen Qiu took a deep breath, started circulating his mental method, and gradually sank into a state of cultivation.

Xiong Gao, standing by his side, first checked the remaining Spirit Stones in the Spirit Gathering Array before standing respectfully to the side, waiting. He looked towards the empty Heavenly Palace, a slight smile creeping onto his lips. He had enjoyed himself at the celebration today. Nobody liked flatterers, but no one would mind flattery.

He was clear about his role.

He was a lackey.

Just as everybody dislikes a lackey, no one would dislike a lackey who always considers his master’s benefit. There was just one principle he followed in his actions, which was to always center around his master. With such an approach, he could never go wrong.

Even if he did something wrong, it wasn’t wrong in the eyes of his master because his attitude was correct. With the right attitude, there were no mistakes, and any so-called mistakes could be dealt with by his master’s own methods.

That was when–

A new Heavenly Dao Decree suddenly echoed across the Vast Continent.

–

“Heavenly Dao Decree”: Determined by the Heavenly Dao, all twelve King’s Thrones on the Vast Continent have been officially decided!

From now on, the shackles of the state lands are lifted, and the fight for the Unique King officially begins!

–

“…”

Chen Qiu, who had just closed his eyes to commence his cultivation, suddenly opened them wide upon hearing this decree, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and a sly smile spreading across his face.

Finally…

The fight for the Unique King had begun, and it was time to let the other ‘kings’ feel the charm of his Unification Killing Move at the ninety-grade.

Xiong Gao standing by his side respectfully congratulated him with a loud voice, “I wish my lord a triumphant return in advance, conquering all directions!”

However, immediately following this, another Heavenly Dao Decree resounded fiercely.

–

“Heavenly Dao Decree”: Sensing from the Heavenly Dao, the Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect, the Heavenly Dao Saint, the Heavenly Dao Evil Man, the Human Clan’s Guardian God, the peerless Heavenly Pride, Chen Qiu, King of Xuantian, has successfully seized the ‘Unique King’!

He has set the record for the fastest possession of the ‘Unique King’ title amongst all the grade Continent’s kingship battles!

The fastest to claim the ‘Unique King’ title is dubbed the Heavenly King and is subject to real-time changes.

Thus, he is bestowed the title of ‘Heavenly King’, along with a strand of Killing Move Fortune and a strand of Heavenly Pride Fortune; the common folk need not take this as a precedent, simply watch and marvel!

–

“…”

Chen Qiu, who had just stood up, full of anticipation and ready to rampage, heard the voice ring in his ears once again. His smile gradually stiffened on his face, and he fell silent for a long while.

He… had done nothing, so how did he suddenly become the Unique King?

What happened to the fierce competition?

And the bloodshed and brutality?

He really wanted to pick a fight right now; he truly wanted to test the power of his ninety-grade Unification Killing Move. Could not some ill-advised fellow come along for him to practice his skills on?

Unfortunately.

Moments later, Chen Qiu sighed resignedly. Unless something unexpected happened, this was a fight he likely wouldn’t get until he went to Qi Tian Continent. After all, with the competition for the ‘Unique King’ absent, there probably wasn’t anyone on the Vast Continent who would foolishly provoke him.

It seemed he would have to wait until he got to Qi Tian Continent to test the true power of his ninety-grade Unification Killing Move, and there would probably be no chance to get injured before then.

How reckless.
