"Why, I am so useless, even after consuming so many resources, I still couldn't step into the foundation establishment realm, why… why…" Chen Yi was crying at the doorstep of an old, broken temple.
Chen Yi was a clansman of the Chen family from Qin Mao city, established in the eastern part of the Daoqin empire. He was the beloved eldest son of the Chen family, the one born with the golden spoon in his mouth from birth. His mom and dad always loved him more than his younger siblings; he always got love from every elder in the family.
Yet, despite being bathed in his resources, he hadn't even established his foundation and was only at the10th-tier Qi refining. Reaching the 10th tier in any cultivation realm in itself was considered talent, but for the Chen family, it wasn't anything special. His other siblings, even those who were a few years younger than him, had reached the foundation establishment realm, while he couldn't.
He even joined the Myriad Heaven sect and used far more resources than an average disciple, only to fail in foundation establishment again and again.
Today was the day when he was officially kicked out of the Myriad Heaven sect, but he didn't have the guts to return to his family and tell them he had wasted all their resources and achieved nothing, and even became the black dot for the entire Chen family.
"Answer me…" Chen Yi spoke as tears flowed out from his eyes. His expensive clothes were covered in mud, as he continued to cry at the temple doorsteps.
The day he left the Myriad Heaven sect, he had been wandering the surrounding villages and local towns, instead of returning home, and finally found this temple of a local who was worshipped by these villagers, a god who brings happiness and love.
At first, he used to be an atheist, but after meeting the old priest of this temple, he turned into a theist, a believer of the deity of love and happiness.
A year later, the old priest died, and not long after, the whole village was wiped out by the Nether Demon sect. Luckily, he survived the massacre using the Chen family's protective arrays that his family had given him.
Right now, there was no reason for him to stay in this village, which was now an unnamed graveyard.
Chen Yi cried for a while, for the villagers and himself, only if he were slightly stronger, this Village could have been saved, and he wouldn't have to worry about embarrassing the Chen family.
Bang!
Chen Yi slammed his head on the temple stairs, causing the cracks to appear on the stairs, which quickly spread through the entire temple, and in front of his eyes, the whole temple crumbled into dust.
Instantly, Chen Yi felt a shock in his head, causing his mind to become blank, his vision fading into the darkness, leaving his body outside the temple ruins.
[Immortal Heaven System is being activated]
[The Host information is being verified…]
[Host fate is being found…]
[Congratulations, Host, Immortal Heaven System at your service.]
"Immortal Heaven System, what do you do?" Chen Yi had read about tales of Heaven's will talking to a commoner and blessing them with an extraordinary talent and fate, and making them a legend whose name will spread throughout the history of the Immortal world. Maybe he is the chosen one of this era.
[Start the Selection of Fate.]
Chen Yi's question was answered by another layer of golden text in the dark world. This, he didn't try to ask anything, and followed the world of heavenly will, letting it select the fate for him.
[The fate is being locked on…]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the fate of Heavenly Demon.]
[Go to the Black Wind merchant guilds and join the caravan to Tulip City, in order to hasten your fate.]
"What does this mean?" Chen Yi didn't make out what these words meant, but it was still something said by heaven's will, so he would follow it and see what kind of fate it would bring.
When Chen Yi woke up, he found himself lying on the ruins of the broken temple. This time, his eyes weren't filled with tears but new hope. He gave a long bow to the broken temple before going straight to the Black Wind merchant guild.
The Black Wind merchant guilds could be considered one of the most infamous merchant guilds in the whole empire. They take care of most of the transport and the safety of merchants from bandits.
When Chen Yi arrived at the Merchant Guild, he quickly tried to grab a seat for the Tulip City caravan, only to get rejected by the staff because the carriages were already full.
"Why can't I get a single seat? Listen, I can pay you 100 cold coins upfront."
Chen Yi didn't give up and tried to bribe the only method he knew to get his way into the caravan.
"Kid, you look quite desperate to join this caravan. Is there any special reason?"
A lady was standing beside him, her purple eyes full of playfulness, staring at his face. She dressed in a very thin purple robe, which outlined her curves clearly. Her cleavage was completely revealed in front of Chen Yi.
Chen Yi couldn't help but gulp as his lower body automatically reacted to this woman's seductive body. His eyes subconsciously tried to peep deeper into her cleavage.
"Do you want to look more?" The purple-robed woman slightly stretched her robe, giving Chen Yi a clear view of her giant white mounds.
Chen Yi stood there completely frozen under her gaze; as it turned out, she was even taller than he. She had deliberately bent her back to give him a peek before taking it to another level, which Chen Yi didn't expect at all.
"If you want, you can join me on the trip to Tulip City; my carriage still has the space for an extra person." The woman winked at him, turned and left.
This was his first encounter with such a lady; her clothes and looks of that of a noble lady, but her behaviour was far different from that.
