Chapter 318 - 265: Massacre (13,000-Word Special) (Part 4)
However, Jin Yuanbao’s young heart was deeply hurt. After returning, he proactively requested to break off the engagement, then committed himself to cultivation. Unfortunately, he had no cultivation talent, the kind that even Medicine King Valley couldn’t remedy due to blocked meridians.
After a while of trying, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley stopped bothering with him. Jin Yuanbao, unwilling to accept defeat, searched for medicinal herbs to try and clear his meridians.
Unexpectedly, he fell off a cliff,
thus beginning a life filled with extraordinary luck that made people in the Martial World envious and resentful.
Falling off the cliff, not only did he emerge unscathed, he also found a Divine Pill that directly cleansed his essence and transformed his body, making all his meridians flow smoothly. He transformed from a cultivation failure to an extraordinary genius.
However, due to his lazy nature and dislike for cultivation, his progress was slow. Then he fell off a cliff again and received an ancient inheritance, gaining a cultivation technique that increased his cultivation simply by eating and sleeping, leading to rapid progress.
Later, lacking Martial Arts skills, he had cultivation but couldn’t fight. Once, while resting during a trip, he sat on a stone slab and discovered a Martial Art perfectly suited to him,
Since then,
people in the Martial World gradually noticed a pattern: whenever Jin Yuanbao needed something, he would inexplicably encounter fortuitous events and opportunities.
When his Realm was stuck, he’d go for a stroll and inevitably find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid his breakthrough. Attending an auction would surely lead to finding overlooked treasures, and helping an elderly lady on the street could result in meeting a hidden expert seeking an heir.
In just two short years,
Jin Yuanbao, with almost no cultivation, became third place on the Celestial Pride List, until later, Nangong Weiyang appeared and pushed him to fourth.
This Jin Yuanbao was not the most revered in the Martial World, nor did he have the highest Martial Arts skills, but he was certainly the most envied and resented.
The first time Gu Zhan heard about this person,
he was stunned,
truly living up to the name ’child of destiny.’
...
Jin Yuanbao rode a Red Fire Dragon Steed as plump as himself, approached, feeling unnerved by Gu Zhan’s stare, and asked, "Brother Gu, why... why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "I’m pondering how to snatch Brother Jin’s luck."
"Hehe," Jin Yuanbao laughed, "I’m not bragging, but my luck is indeed remarkable. This morning, I even found a bag of gold when I went out, which had an oddly ugly cow embroidered on it!"
"Damn Jin Yuanbao,"
At this moment, another group arrived, led by Niu Pei, the flag-bearer of the younger generation from the Golden Crow Sword Sect, nicknamed Little Vajra.
Niu Pei charged over with a big Iron Rod, angrily saying, "Damn Jin Yuanbao, I was wondering where my gold went, and it turns out you stole it!"
Jin Yuanbao hurriedly said, "Big Water Buffalo, don’t speak nonsense, I found it, I didn’t steal it!"
"Bullshit," Niu Pei said, "Last night, I won a total of eighty taels playing dice. This morning, while rushing on the road, my stomach suddenly hurt, so I found a corner to relieve myself, placed that bag of gold beside me, and when I pulled up my pants, the gold was gone. You say you didn’t steal it!"
Jin Yuanbao was completely baffled, "It was really yours? I swore I smelled rotten eggs when I picked up the gold. Did you eat eggs last night?"
Niu Pei angrily said, "Stop talking nonsense, give me back the money!"
"Just tell me, did you eat eggs last night?"
"..."
Gu Zhan watched Niu Pei chase Jin Yuanbao with a slight smile,
The Golden Crow Sword Sect and Medicine King Valley have always been friendly, so Niu Pei and Jin Yuanbao knew each other well from a young age. However, their life paths were diametrically opposed.
Niu Pei had exceptional talent since childhood and was born into the Golden Crow Sword Sect, a child of destiny from a young age. Oddly, though he was born into the Golden Crow Sword Sect, he trained in Staff Technique, cultivating Horizontal Training skills, earning the nickname Little Vajra in the Martial World, the complete opposite of the nimble and agile traditions of the Golden Crow Sword Sect.
"Enough,"
While Jin Yuanbao and Niu Pei were play-fighting, Nangong Weiyang suddenly shouted, stopping their scuffle, and said in a deep voice, "Demon Dao individuals have arrived. Hmph, they are some of the most prominent figures among the younger generation, seems like they want a showdown between Righteous and Demonic Daos’ Celestial prides!"
The atmosphere instantly grew tense,
The momentum of both sides surged forth, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi wildly disordered, even the clouds above began changing, dust flying, causing winds to howl.
On the chaotic battlefield, the senior experts from the Righteous and Demonic Daos started paying attention here.
Because of Gu Zhan’s actions,
he directly incited a third battleground,
The first is the Supreme Grandmasters’ battle raging at the peak or gorge or forest of Bright Moon Gorge, the second being the current major battle in Bright Moon Gorge,
And the third is here,
A battlefield unique to the Celestial prides!
The red sun in the sky, yellow sand stretching, sunlight like blood, thick red clouds shrouding the sky, much of the sky obscured by wind and sand, Bright Moon Gorge awash with blood, eerie and strange. The air was filled with murderous intent, exceedingly tragic, bodies strewn across the land, and amidst the vast wind and sand, roars shook the heavens, the killing shouts pierced the sky.
Yet, the third battlefield stood out,
Those Grandmasters with the ability to intervene deliberately fostered this battle, staying harmoniously in the second battlefield, while others simply couldn’t affect this third battlefield.
