Chapter 362: Chapter 362
"Junior Brother Wen, have you broken through?" Tan Yuanshan immediately noticed the fluctuation of power around Wen Zhixing, a touch of surprise in his eyes.
No way. Is it so easy to make a breakthrough? If not for his keen perception, he wouldn’t have even noticed Wen Zhixing’s breakthrough. He knew that breaking through to the Sixth Realm had taken him considerable effort, yet Wen Zhixing had seemingly done nothing and broke through naturally. In other words, Wen Zhixing had no cultivation bottlenecks at all. Everything seemed to have fallen into place naturally.
Wen Zhixing returned to his senses, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Heh, I just got lucky with this breakthrough."
He was already on the verge of breaking through, so this recent breakthrough was within expectations. When the accumulation was sufficient, the breakthrough naturally occurred.
Looking at the humble Wen Zhixing, Tan Yuanshan felt a surge of envy. No wonder Master favors Wen Zhixing; befriending him seems to be a good choice. It’s only because my own aptitude is insufficient; otherwise, I wouldn’t still be just a nominal disciple.
"Let’s go." Tan Yuanshan didn’t say much more and led Wen Zhixing away.
Previously, perhaps due to the killings, Tan Yuanshan had seemed somewhat paranoid, his eyes revealing traces of madness. But now, his complexion was returning to normal. He exuded an indescribable, good-natured temperament—a stark contrast to his earlier behavior.
Wen Zhixing silently observed Tan Yuanshan’s receding figure and then stepped forward to follow.
After they came out, the guards glanced at Wen Zhixing and Tan Yuanshan again, but both sides merely nodded slightly to each other without further communication.
"Junior Brother Wen, do you need me to escort you back?" Tan Yuanshan asked very politely.
Having spent the day together, he had gained a deeper, albeit superficial, understanding of Wen Zhixing. Their interactions had been very harmonious.
However, Wen Zhixing smiled and shook his head. "There’s no need to trouble Senior Brother Tan," he said. "I’ve been in the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land for quite some time, but I haven’t yet had the chance to explore it properly. I have some free time today, so I plan to wander around."
"In that case, very well." Tan Yuanshan nodded upon hearing this.
Wen Zhixing’s meaning was clear. Tan Yuanshan had no intention of pressing the matter; after a few more polite words, he took his leave. However, before departing, Tan Yuanshan reminded Wen Zhixing once again that the Demonic Ruins were dangerous and it was best to travel with companions.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tan. I will keep that in mind," Wen Zhixing promptly nodded earnestly.
"If Junior Brother Wen needs anything in the future, just find me. Don’t be polite," Tan Yuanshan said with a smile. Then, with Spiritual Qi surging around his body, he transformed into a breeze and drifted away into the sky.
[Fortune Fragment discovered. Would you like to spend one month of life-span to randomly collect it?]
After watching Tan Yuanshan leave, Wen Zhixing thought for a moment and then began collecting Fortune Fragments. He was actually planning to re-enter the Demonic Ruins, so he probably wouldn’t have time to collect other people’s Fortune Fragments today.
He drew five times in one go.
Tan Yuanshan possessed a significant amount of fortune. Among them were quite a few Purple and Golden Fortune Fragments. As for Xuan and Jade-quality Fortune Fragments, Wen Zhixing hadn’t encountered those yet.
[White Fortune Fragment +2, current White Fortune Fragments: 2/2.]
[Blue Fortune Fragment +1, current Blue Fortune Fragments: 1/3.]
[Purple Fortune Fragment +1, current Purple Fortune Fragments: 1/4.]
[Current life-span: 1006.]
Unfortunately, no Golden Fortune Fragments were collected. He was just one Golden Fortune Fragment short of completing another set.
I’ll make some preparations first before entering again. Wen Zhixing thought for a while, then headed towards a corner. Obtaining only two remnant souls this time was unacceptable; it was practically no gain at all. He had to prepare at least half a month’s, or even a whole month’s, provisions for the Ghostly Cunning Spirit.
[White Fortune Fragment (2/2) collected. Spend one month of life-span to forge and obtain one of the following fortunes:]
[One, acquire Divine Ability: Thunderfire Eyes.]
[Two, acquire 10 Fortune Points.]
[Three, acquire the fortune belonging to Tan Yuanshan.]
Wen Zhixing was slightly stunned. Huh, it even yielded a Divine Ability... For a White Quality fortune to produce a Divine Ability is quite rare. Could it be for my Inborn Divine Ability to consume? Indeed, he was aware that his panel was quite intelligent. The rewards derived from fortune often related to his own needs.
"Choice one, Thunderfire Eyes." Wen Zhixing didn’t hesitate and immediately accepted the Divine Ability.
[Acquired Divine Ability: Thunderfire Eyes.]
[Thunderfire Eyes:] White Quality. This Divine Ability allows the eyes to possess the power of thunder and fire. Combining thunder and fire amasses destructive force, with infinite might.
[When used, if control is lost, backlash may occur, resulting in the eyes being completely destroyed.]
[When using Thunderfire Eyes, it cannot be used simultaneously with Fairy Eyes.]
[Spend 100 Fortune Points to upgrade to Blue Quality.]
[Current Fortune Points: 59.]
The next moment, Wen Zhixing felt a mild burning sensation in his eyes as the power of flames roared within them. Soon after, thunder power also erupted amidst the flames. The powers of thunder and fire continuously interwove in Wen Zhixing’s eyes, fading only to be reborn.
"Not a bad Divine Ability." Wen Zhixing nodded slightly. Even without activating it, he could already sense the considerable power of this Divine Ability.
However, it wasn’t quite what he needed. These Thunderfire Eyes felt somewhat redundant to him. After all, the Fairy Eyes had to be deactivated while using the Thunderfire Eyes.
