Chapter 399: Chapter 399

Using this Divine Ability will consume a great amount of Spiritual Qi, and each use will impose a tremendous burden on it.

Expend one hundred thousand Fortune Points to upgrade to Yin God Quality.

Divine Ability self-enlightenment, no cultivation required.

It contains the Space Path! It’s actually a golden Legendary Level Divine Ability!

Wen Zhixing’s heart surged with ecstasy.

Today was truly his lucky day. To meet such an extraordinary person right after stepping out! He had just acquired a Legendary Level Divine Ability. This Divine Ability clearly already contained the power of the Space Path. With this Divine Ability, he might even have the chance to embark on the Space Path in the future.

The next moment, Wen Zhixing felt a strange sensation within his body, and a mysterious insight arose in his mind. In the blink of an eye, he had completely mastered this Divine Ability.

It has to be said that self-enlightenment of a Divine Ability is indeed advantageous. It directly bypasses the cultivation process, saving a lot of time. Across the Sky... what an incredible Divine Ability!

Wen Zhixing’s eyes brightened, and a faint, yet distinct, presence of Space Power emerged within his body.

He had practiced evasion techniques before—the initial Blood Escape Skill. That skill was extremely suitable for him. However, Wen Zhixing never had enough Fortune Points to upgrade it. Later, he also learned a body skill, Wind Control and Shadow Form, which was mainly used in combat.

But now that he had Across the Sky, this Divine Ability embodying the essence of the Space Path rendered the Blood Escape Skill practically obsolete. There’s no need to upgrade it anymore, so I won’t waste Fortune Points. Things that once seemed quite good are gradually replaced as I grow. Not everything is meant to be used forever.

Just then, Li Chengye opposite him put down his wine jar and gazed at Wen Zhixing with an inexplicable look. He had just sensed a familiar power emanating from Wen Zhixing. But that power flashed by so quickly he couldn’t quite place it.

"Brother Chengye, what’s wrong?" Wen Zhixing looked up and asked with a slight smile.

"Nothing... nothing..." Li Chengye frowned for a moment, his gaze lingering on Wen Zhixing for a few more seconds, then shook his head.

"Brother Chengye, where are you from?" Wen Zhixing also picked up a wine jar from the ground and leisurely poured himself a bowl. It was clear that this Li Chengye was not from Linlang City.

Hearing this, Li Chengye put down his wine jar, and his previously standing figure took a seat. Only then did he speak, "With the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, I roam the four corners of the world, making my home wherever I am."

"You lead quite a carefree life, Brother Chengye." Wen Zhixing, already knowing Li Chengye wouldn’t say much, nodded in agreement, lifted his bowl of wine, and smiled. "To you."

Li Chengye, however, shook his head, a look of resentment in his eyes. "Carefree my ass!" he scoffed. "I was kicked out. That old geezer is truly ruthless."

"Oh?" Surprise flickered in Wen Zhixing’s eyes. Kicked out? What does that mean? A spark of curiosity lit his gaze. Could it be that this Li Chengye is really no ordinary mortal?

"Let’s not talk about it, never mind." Unfortunately, Li Chengye clearly didn’t want to continue the topic and picked up a large bowl of wine.

The two clinked their bowls, wine splashing, and both tilted their heads back to gulp it down.

Perhaps not feeling satisfied enough, Li Chengye grabbed another jar. Tilting his head back and opening his mouth, he guzzled the wine with great gusto, exuding a bold spirit.

Seeing this, Wen Zhixing imitated him. With a hearty laugh, he too lifted a jar and poured the wine down his throat. However, he had never drunk so fiercely before. He felt uncomfortable for a moment, his throat burning. He put down the jar and coughed several times. Under the influence of alcohol, this burning sensation was strangely exhilarating.

"Good brother, you’re not bad at all!" Li Chengye burst into laughter upon seeing this, a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Wen Zhixing.

The two gradually became more familiar.

After a round of hearty drinking, Li Chengye’s face was slightly flushed. His arm was already draped over Wen Zhixing’s shoulder, and he began to ramble incoherently. Not long after, he collapsed onto the table, snoring in a drunken stupor.

Wen Zhixing, although he had drunk quite a bit himself, possessed a different Constitution; the alcohol in his system was immediately cleansed.

What exactly is the deal with this Li Chengye? Wen Zhixing frowned slightly. I thought he was feigning drunkenness, but it seems he’s genuinely intoxicated. But what kind of person is Li Chengye? How could he actually get drunk? At this point, he couldn’t quite make sense of the situation.

"Waiter," Wen Zhixing didn’t ponder for too long and gestured for the tavern waiter. After taking out some spirit stones, he entrusted Li Chengye to the tavern’s care, even paying extra. He specifically requested they take good care of Li Chengye and ensure he had enough to drink. The innkeeper naturally agreed readily to everything.

Having arranged all this, Wen Zhixing closed his eyes slightly, as if resting. In reality, Shao Zhengze had already sent a message.

"Sir, I have entered the secret chamber. Currently, I am alone with Lu Shangxing. When should we make our move..." Shao Zhengze’s voice betrayed a hint of nervousness.

He was truly panicked. Even after preparing for two days, just for this moment. But when the time actually came, he was still terrified—the pressure was simply too great. He was still recovering from severe injuries; could he really do it? And how would he deal with the aftermath?

"Don’t worry, I have everything under control." Wen Zhixing’s eyes lit up, and he subsequently walked out of the tavern with a smile.

His confidence had greatly increased now. Originally, he would have needed to intervene from a distance. But now things were different. With Across the Sky at his disposal, as long as he kept his presence hidden, he could move in and out with ease. Plus, with the various methods at his command, he was in an unbeatable position.

"Wait for the opportunity." Expressionless, Wen Zhixing gradually disappeared into the night.

In a secret chamber within the Lu Immortal Mansion, Shao Zhengze’s face was deathly pale. Wen Zhixing’s words had not bolstered his confidence. He was simply in too deep to turn back now; there was no other option but to go through with it.

And this was the best opportunity.

The two of them were alone, and this was Lu Shangxing’s private cultivation chamber, extremely secluded. Ordinarily, no one would dare approach.

The most crucial point was... because they were within the Lu Mansion, the protectors who usually followed Lu Shangxing everywhere were not present. After all, if anything happened, everyone could arrive at the scene instantaneously.

Besides, who would dare to attack the Young Master of the Lu Family on their own turf? That would be tantamount to seeking death or instigating a war between their factions. No one would have ever imagined someone would dare to make a move on Lu Shangxing here. As for Wen Zhixing, no one considered him a threat.

It could be said that this was when everyone’s guard was at its lowest.

"Shao, have you been drained of your essence?" Lu Shangxing frowned slightly, looking at Shao Zhengze, whose aura was faint.

This is too much. In the past two days, how many times has Shao Zhengze spent himself? How could he let himself become so weak?

"Cough, I am ashamed, Junior Brother," Shao Zhengze said, a hint of embarrassment on his face, as if confirming Lu Shangxing’s guess.

Seeing this, Lu Shangxing shook his head but still said, "Shao, although your innate talent isn’t top-tier, it’s still high-grade. You mustn’t waste it on the pleasures of the flesh."

Regardless, they knew each other. In the future, they would continue to cultivate together in the Purple Cloud Divine Sect. As long as Shao Zhengze could change, he could potentially be recruited as one of my trusted aides.

"You are right, Junior Brother," Shao Zhengze nodded, looking remorseful.

"Alright, I’m just giving you a reminder. Also, about tomorrow... Mmph... GACK!" Lu Shangxing looked pleased and was about to discuss the plans for the next day.

However... The source of this content ɪs novel-fire.net

A large mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his mouth.

Lu Shangxing’s body trembled. This was the first time he’d been cursed, and he was utterly bewildered as to what was happening.

"This is..." Lu Shangxing’s face paled. He immediately began circulating his Spiritual Qi to suppress the turbulent energy within his body.

However, a bizarre power abruptly emerged, causing his Spiritual Qi to spiral out of control. It then rapidly began to devour the power within him, growing stronger.

It visibly spread throughout his body at a rapid pace.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
