"The Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune is a very powerful treasure that can read one’s fortune and destiny, and depending on the importance of their destiny, they are given a rating. There are countless geniuses in this world who have the ability to change or create history, but very few of them will be given a minor destiny. Then we have the major destiny, geniuses who will affect the heavens to a certain extent. Someone with a major destiny will appear every once every ten thousand years." Senior Bai exined to him the functions of the treasure he destroyed.


    "As for the final rating— heavenly destiny... There have been only 13 people who were given such a destiny ever since the ancient times, and every single one of these individuals had greatly affected the world so much that they were given their own Era."


    "However, not many people know this, but there is actually another rating beside the three I just exined, and there is no name for such a destiny, hence why I just call it the unknown destiny."


    "The unknown destiny is the only destiny the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune cannot read or sometimes mistake as a heavenly destiny, and in the cases where the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune cannot read a destiny, it will explode."


    After the lengthy exnation, Senior Bai gave Yuan a moment to digest the information before continuing, "Ever since the ancient times... No... ever since the first Cultivator learned to cultivate, there have only been two other individuals other than yourself that have had an unknown destiny, and I want to know what kind of person you are as the third person to have an unknown destiny, hence why I brought you here."


    "I see... but what do you want to know about me? I have lived an insignificant life for the majority of my life, so I don’t think you’ll find anything interesting about me," Yuan said to him.


    "Your life experiences don’t matter to me. What I want to know is your ambitions— why you decided to be a Cultivator and what keeps you on the cultivation path," Senior Bai said to him.


    "My ambitions...?" Yuan lifted his eyebrows before speaking in a calm voice, "Honestly, I don’t have any ambitions, and I only want to enjoy this beautiful world with my little sister and hopefully make some friends."


    "You have no ambitions? That’s quite hard to believe, as every Cultivator has a dream."


    Despite expressing his doubt, Senior Bai was unable to sense any lies from Yuan’s clear gaze.


    "Although I may not have any ambitions, I do have a dream. However, this dream is not something one can achieve just by working hard for it." Yuan said with a bitter smile on his face.


    "Hoh? Do you mind rifying?" Senior Bai asked him with his interest piqued. "In the cultivation world, there is almost no dream that cannot be attained through hard work."


    "What about a person who was born without legs and dreams of walking? What about a person a blind man dreams of seeing again?" Yuan asked him. "Do you think those kinds of dreams could be achieved?"


    "Hahaha..." Senior Bai suddenlyughed out loud before speaking, "And here I was wondering what you were going to say. So what if one is born without legs? They can simply grow some with the help of treasures! The same goes for blind people! I know over a dozen medicines and treasures that can cure blindness!"


    Yuan was speechless. They can do that in the cultivation world? However, even if that was the case, this was only a game, and once he logs off, this so-called cultivation world will cease to exist.


    "Anyway, what about bing a Cultivator? What drove you to walk the cultivation path?" Senior Bai then asked him.


    "Well, it kind of happened by chance," Yuan spoke before briefly recalling how he became a Cultivator.


    "Chance? Nonsense! You are someone with an unknown destiny! Everything that happened to you or will happen to you in the future— everyone that you have met or will meet in the future, it was predetermined by fate before you were even born!" Senior Bai said before continuing, "Then why do you continue to cultivate? If you didn’t choose this path, why don’t you quit?"


    "Because I have learned from a friend that strength means everything in this world, and without strength, I could lose everything that’s important to me, hence why I continue to cultivate and continue to grow stronger, as I wish to explore this world with those who are dear to me without losing them."


    "Cultivating to protect those important to you, huh? Despite hearing simr words from Cultivators countless times throughout my life, I can only respect one’s desire to protect their loved ones. And your friend is right— the cultivation world is an unforgiving world that preys on the weak and rewards the strong. If you wish to explore this world, you must have enough power." Senior Bai spoke as he profoundly caressed his long white beard.


    After a moment of silence, Senior Bai said, "I have a firm understanding of your character now, but people can always change, and I can only hope that you do not change too much."


    "By the way, if you don’t mind me asking, do you have a unique Physique? I can feel a profound feeling from your body, but I have never felt such a feeling before." Senior Bai suddenly asked.


    "My Physique? I have something called the Heaven Refining Physique," he casually responded.


    "Hea— Heaven Refining Physique?!?!?!?"


    Senior Bai suddenly cried out loud as he stood up with a shocked expression on his face.


    "Eh?" Yuan looked at Senior Bai with wide eyes, as he didn’t expect such an intense reaction.


    After a long moment of silence, Senior Bai cleared his throat before sitting back down.


    "I see... So you are the person she met..."


    "What do you mean, Senior Bai?" Yuan asked with his head tilted in a puzzled manner.


    "N-Nothing, I was just talking to myself," Senior Bai quickly said with an awkward smile on his face.


    "Anyway, I don’t dare to keep you in this ce any longer, little friend. If fate allows it, we shall meet each other again." Almost as though he was in a hurry, Senior Bai waved his sleeves, enveloping Yuan with his spiritual energy before sending Yuan flying towards the Heavens.


    A few momentster, Yuan was surrounded by darkness again, but he was falling in the opposite direction this time around.


    After sending Yuan back to the portal, Senior Bai stared at the sky with a dazed look on his face.


    "So his name was Yu Tian, huh... To think I’d meet the genius with the Godly Physique that woman met in this ce... As expected of someone with an unknown destiny."


    "I would’ve given him a few techniques and some treasures to help out his journey, but s..."


    After standing in the same spot for an unknown amount of time, Senior Bai sighed in an annoyed tone, "I should probably let her know about our meeting or she’ll think I am trying to steal him from her or something..."


    "Wee back, Yu Tian," Zhu Yuying greeted him after he returned to the skill store. "How was your meeting with my Master?"


    "I don’t know how I should describe it," he said with a weird smile on his face. "Everything just happened so fast..."


    "Then what did you two talk about?" she then asked.


    "He asked me about my dreams and why I decided to be a Cultivator..."


    "That’s it?" Zhu Yuying looked at him with raised eyebrows.


    "Yes," he said.


    "..."


    Zhu Yuying turned silent. Why would her Master call him for something casual like that? She couldn’tprehend it.


    "Anyway, since you have already spoken with my Master, I’ll leave you alone to look for skills now. Ah, you are allowed to buy a technique from any floor," she said to him a momentter.


    "I understand. Since I am already here and there doesn’t seem to be much technique up here, I’ll look around this floor first before I reunite with the others."


    Zhu Yuying nodded and left him alone on the third floor shortlyter.


    Yuan began looking around the third floor, but with only 2 bookshelves and a dozen techniques, it didn’t take long for Yuan to see everything on the third floor.

    And out of the dozen techniques on the third floor, there was only one technique that he could learn, as it was rted to the sword.


    "Demon Sealing Strike... What a powerful-sounding technique," Yuan mumbled the name of the technique with a feeling of awe.


    He then opened the technique and began looking through it.


    "..."


    A few minutes after Yuan began reading the technique, he unknowingly entered a trance, which allowed him to indulge in the technique as though he was in his own world.


    After an unknown amount of time had passed, a notification appeared before him.

    "Oh no... I learned the technique without paying for it again..." Yuan facepalmed himself afterward.


    "And it’s even a Heaven-rank technique... I hope I can afford it with my remaining gold, or I am going to have to borrow the difference from Xiao Hua..." he sighed.


    Meanwhile, above the sky, another announcement appeared.
