Fantasy: I Receive Critical Chance For Compensation When I Give Away Fateful Encounters - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 The Breath of Divine Lightning!

It took them most of the day to finally find the lost disciples, seven of them in total. Perhaps because the Mystique’s target had been Gu Chuyao, most of these disciples were seriously injured, but not fatally so. From Gu Chuyao’s explanation, Su’en learned about the situation regarding the demons from the Sky Demon Sect in Jingzhou.

For thousands of years, these demons had wanted to occupy the fertile continent. However, Jingzhou was very strong, standing firm even after several large-scale wars. But the demons had never given up on the idea of occupying Jingzhou, and had secretly ordered powerful demons to enter and set up an organization to assassinate prodigies in the Heavenly Domain.

Over the years, many famous geniuses and legends had died at the hands of these demons.

There were many prodigies in the Heavenly Domain, but not every one of them could hone their cultivation in safety, with elders to protect them, especially since there were many places in the Heavenly Domain that needed to be guarded.

On their way back to the Heavenly Domain, Su’en learned about Gu Chuyao’s identity through their conversation together.

She was the daughter of the Second Elder of the Purple Star Sect-a respectable status, to say the least! No wonder Gu Chuyao had been able to enter the Golden Core Realm at such a young age. As for why she’d been so badly injured, it was because she’d used some of her important trump cards while on her mission. When Mystique had attacked her, he had snuck up on her from behind. Gu Chuyao hadn’t reacted in time, and had been severely injured. If not for the other disciples’ protection, she might not have been able to hold out until Su’en arrived to help. Fortunately, she had managed to survive.

The huge cloud shuttle sped through the sky at breakneck speed.

Su’en stood on the deck of the cloud shuttle with Gu Chuyao beside him. He wanted to be alone to reflect on his battle earlier, and the other cultivation techniques he needed to prepare. But Gu Chuyao was clearly interested in him-no matter where he went, she would follow him. What Su’en couldn’t stand most was the way Gu Chuyao looked at him, like he was a treasure of sorts. It made him feel a little uncomfortable.

“Senior, I think your talents lie in cultivating body-tempering cultivation techniques. Why don’t you join our Purple Star Sect?” Gu Chuyao suggested, eyes filled with anticipation.

“Although body-tempering cultivation techniques are powerful, my master raised me and taught me. I can’t just abandon my sect. Plus, I prefer to cultivate sword techniques,” Su’en replied directly after a moment of consideration. He cultivated body-tempering cultivation techniques mainly to increase his physical defense, not because he was partial towards them.

“What’s so good about sword techniques?” Gu Chuyao said. “Your body-tempering technique is much stronger than your sword technique!”

“That’s because I’ve only cultivated my sword technique to the first level. If I cultivate it to perfection, its power will be stronger than body tempering,” Su’en explained with a smile.

The main reason his Eighteen Arhat Golden Body Technique had reached perfection so quickly was the Bodhi Sarira Pill. But the Divine Lightning Sword Technique relied on Divine Lightning Breath, which was most commonly mastered and wielded by high-level sects. It was not so easy for him to cultivate it to perfection. Although the Divine Lightning Sword Technique only had two moves, they could be cultivated to a third level. If Su’en succeeded, the amount of Divine Lightning Sword Qi he could control would increase exponentially.

If he had cultivated the Divine Lightning Sword Technique to perfection, Mystique wouldn’t have been able to escape during their battle. The lethality of the Divine Lightning Sword Technique was terrifying; not something that the Eighteen Arhat Golden Body Technique could compare to.

“I see that your sword technique has a lightning aura. It probably requires a large amount of lightning!” Struck by a sudden thought, Gu Chuyao smiled at Su’en.

“Indeed!” Su’en replied calmly, not noticing the expression on Gu Chuyao’s face.

“Here, this is for you. Consider it repayment for saving my life.” Gu Chuyao took out a small purple bottle and placed it in front of Su’en.

“This is…?” Su’en studied the small bottle.

“Don’t you need Divine Lightning Breath? There are about a thousand wisps in here,” Gu Chuyao said with a smile. “The Purple Star Sect’s special auras are mainly metal and fire, with few other attributes.”

“Your thank-you gift isn’t a small one at all!” Su’en’s calm eyes brightened. He was tempted: he had spent two months in the Dao Sect absorbing all the Divine Lightning Breath he could, but only a single white wisp remained to him. If he still wanted to absorb Divine Lightning Breath, he would have to look to other sects for help. However, how could an outsider absorb the preciousness of this special aura? Judging from the Dao Sect’s resources-assuming it wouldn’t affect the operation of the sect-they could only buy a thousand wisps of Divine Lightning Aura at most.

“Not at all, Senior. Is my life not worth this much?” With an aggrieved expression, Gu Chuyao continued, “I used up everything valuable I had with me on my mission, or I’d have given you something better, not just this little breath of lightning.”

She was indeed the daughter of a Purple Star Sect elder; her tone suited her status. Su’en smiled and shook his head.

“Senior, do take it!” Gu Chuyao stuffed the small purple bottle into Su’en’s hand.

“Alright!” Su’en accepted it.

To him, he had only saved Gu Chuyao once, and by sheer virtue of the fact that they were all disciples of the Heavenly Domain. They had been in trouble; of course he could help them if he could. But to Gu Chuyao, Su’en was almost akin to her second life-giver. They were coming from two different points of view, with an entirely distinct outcome.

With that in mind, Su’en didn’t refuse her gift. Besides, he really needed the Divine Lightning Breath. Firstly, to cultivate the Divine Lightning Sword Technique faster and prepare for the upcoming Heavenly Domain Ceremony. Secondly, the Dao Sect was too poor-he couldn’t bear to spend money to buy more Divine Lightning Breath.

Plus, after how Gu Chuyao had put it, he would seem pretentious to reject her gift. Since it was a trivial thing, he might as well just accept it, and it wasn’t as though it was particularly worthy of note anyway.

Meanwhile, Mystique fled into a dark forest and fell, only his upper body remaining. His face was extremely pale from blood loss, and he looked on the verge of death.

“Damned disciple of the Heavenly Domain!” His face filled with hatred at the thought of the fellow whose body had turned golden.

Forget the lower half of his body being injured-it was entirely lost to him!

“You failed your mission?” a cold voice called out.
