15: Section 15

Taking the source stones and putting them into his Storage Pouch, Chu Mo turned and left.

“Next up is the ruined temple south of Taichu City!”

Half an hour later.

Chu Mo arrived at the ruined temple, quickly found the stone statue, and after a careful inspection, located the purple-gold Storage Pouch.

Opening it, he saw a long sword, glinting with cold light, lying quietly inside.

Its exterior was entirely green, exquisitely crafted, and extremely ornate, yet the Aura it exuded was incredibly potent; flashes of Dao principles were faintly visible, indicating its extraordinary nature.

Grasping the sword, he tried swinging it, and immediately felt a sense of perfect control, as if it were an extension of his arm.

“As expected of an Earth Rank magic sword, it truly is remarkable. This sword can serve as my weapon against enemies for now!”

“Given its entirely green body, I’ll call it Azure Silk!”

Chu Mo thought of the name of that divine sword he knew from his previous life and couldn’t help but smile.

Chapter 13: Achievement, New Destiny: Heavenly Gifted Roots

Inside a hidden stone cave on a cliff, Chu Mo successfully retrieved the treasure hidden within.

It was a Fire Ganoderma that had grown for several hundred years.

Its exterior was entirely crimson, and a scorching Aura, mixed with a rich medicinal scent, assailed him, indicating its extraordinary quality at a glance.

“Good stuff!”

Chu Mo, a smile on his face, put it into his Storage Pouch and was about to leave.

“You have successfully intercepted ten pivotal Opportunities of others’ destinies, achieving the ‘Opportunity Plunderer’ achievement, and gaining one Elementary Destiny Extraction qualification. Do you wish to extract immediately?”

At this moment, a line of information suddenly appeared before his eyes.

“There are achievements too?”

Chu Mo was startled, but then immediately reacted: “Extract immediately!”

This was a chance to gain Destiny!

Although he had obtained many Opportunities and had already changed his own destiny, he still couldn’t increase his Destiny or Fate.

After all, both Destiny and Fate were Innately determined and almost impossible to change in the Acquired stage.

But now… he had a chance to increase his Destiny!

“This is truly an unexpected surprise!”

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Chu Mo’s face.

“Elementary Destiny Extraction qualification: lowest possible gain is White Destiny, highest is Purple Destiny. White has an 80% chance, Blue 15%, Azure 4.5%, and Purple 0.5%!”

“Extracting, please wait!”

The chance for high-quality ones is really low!

Looking at these two lines of information, Chu Mo couldn't help but inwardly complain.

But he was still full of anticipation, as it could add a Fate, and even if it was just white, it would still be beneficial.

“Extraction complete!”

“You have obtained the Azure Destiny: Heavenly Gifted Roots!”

Heavenly Gifted Roots: With the Roots of a celestial being, comprehending any Cultivation Technique or martial art becomes easier, greatly enhancing the Foundation of the Dao.

“I actually extracted an Azure Destiny!”

Chu Mo’s eyes widened.

With an Elementary Destiny Extraction qualification, the chance of obtaining an Azure Destiny was only 4.5%, which translates to less than one in twenty. With such a low success rate, he hadn't held out much hope, thinking it would be good enough to get a Blue one.

But he never expected to directly get an Azure Destiny!

And it was a Destiny that improved the Foundation of the Dao and increased the progress of comprehending martial arts!

This was truly a huge burst of Luck!

“Destiny has been equipped. Please check.”

A new prompt appeared.

At this moment, Chu Mo felt some kind of subtle change happening within his body; his mind became clearer, and his Foundation grew more profound.

Looking within himself, the congenital pure yang bone in his body also emitted a dazzling golden light, its Aura even stronger than before. Influenced by this, Chu Mo noticed that other bones near the Pure Yang Bone had also become imbued with some golden essence.

“An Azure Destiny, truly extraordinary!”

Feeling the changes brought by Heavenly Gifted Roots, a wave of joy surged in Chu Mo’s heart.

He checked his information.

Life Script: (Supporting character in “Mortal Cultivation Biography”)

Recent Turning Point: Your destiny has changed. The path ahead seems obscured by mist, making it difficult to discern the future.

…

The gray “Sign of Early Demise” in the Destiny column had disappeared, replaced by the Azure Heavenly Gifted Roots.

And the recent turning point had also changed accordingly.

Looking at the description, Chu Mo’s face showed a pensive expression.

“Unable to see my future?”

“It’s probably because I can acquire Opportunities, causing my Destiny and Fate to constantly shift, making it difficult to determine future possibilities!”

Chu Mo thought to himself.

He snapped back to reality, dispelling these thoughts from his mind.

Chu Mo recalled the Opportunities he had recorded.

All the significant Opportunities worth noting had been obtained.

What remained were some minor Opportunities.

Originally, Chu Mo didn’t care for them, but since he had this ‘achievement,’ he naturally couldn’t let them go.

“However…”

“I should still get the Mixed Origin Dao Embryo first!”

“Those minor Opportunities, if they’re along the way, I’ll complete them conveniently. If not, I’ll come back to them later. The most important thing is still the Mixed Origin Dao Embryo!”

He had already spent a day obtaining these Opportunities.

Although he had already accepted the task, to avoid any complications due to delay, Chu Mo decided to get this treasure as soon as possible!

After all, this concerned his earth-shattering Opportunity to become a True Disciple of a Holy Land, and even a Saint in the future!

He had to be careful!

“Let’s go!”

“Qingzhu County, Black Wind Stronghold!”

…

Three days later, Qingzhu County.

Chu Mo arrived at the foot of a mountain.

It was early morning, covered in a thin mist, but one could still vaguely see some buildings on the mountainside, which were the target of this trip—the Black Wind Stronghold!

Without hesitation, Chu Mo headed straight up the mountain.

“Stop, who are you, daring to come to our Black Wind Stronghold!”

Not long after he started walking, a furious shout suddenly rang out.

Several mountain bandits leaped out from the roadside bushes, their eyes sharp, bodies exuding a bloody Qi, and their Aura was not weak.
