Wind and Rain Tower

With the newcomer's "behind-the-scenes boss" attire and those incredibly pretentious lines, Su Ming could guess his identity in an instant.

The Master of the Blood Sword Tower—Wind and Rain Tower.

Su Ming was somewhat surprised; a character of this level was actually making an appearance already?

He activated his Heavens Mandate Vision.

Well then.

As expected, it was heaven's mandate that had summoned him here.

But for Su Ming, it made no difference at all.

Even if he just stood there and let Wind and Rain Tower attack him, the man wouldn't be able to break through his defense.

So, Su Ming directly provoked him, "I want to leave. Do you think you can stop me?"

"Once you've witnessed my sword, you'll understand whether I can stop you or not."

As Wind and Rain Tower spoke, he unsheathed his sword, and his Sword Intent erupted instantly.

Su Ming had to admit that Wind and Rain Tower's Sword Intent was indeed the second strongest he had seen so far.

As for the first, it was that Peerless Sword Cultivator.

"Only after taking this strike will you be qualified to be my opponent..."

Hearing the other's words, Su Ming didn't even know where to begin criticizing him.

But since the opponent was talking like that, he had to retort no matter what.

"Your sword and your Sword Intent are both too dull. Even if I stand still and let you hack at me, you won't be able to harm me in the slightest..."

As Su Ming spoke, he put his hands behind his back and turned around, exposing all his weak points to Wind and Rain Tower.

Wasn't it just acting cool? Who couldn't do that?

Faced with Su Ming's blatant contempt, Wind and Rain Tower felt his dignity being trampled upon.

He was determined to use the sword in his hand to show Su Ming the consequences of underestimating him.

"Blood Sword Wind and Clouds!"

He directly unleashed his strongest sword move, striking toward Su Ming's completely undefended back.

Its terrifying power was not at all inferior to the illusory sword jointly unleashed by Tai Feng and Xie Zong earlier.

As expected of the Master of the Blood Sword Tower, his strength was indeed in a league of its own.

However, no matter how strong Wind and Rain Tower was, he couldn't be stronger than a cheater like Su Ming.

'Blood Sword Wind and Clouds' hit Su Ming, but Wind and Rain Tower felt as if he had struck an immovable mountain.

This discovery shocked him.

But before he could recover from his shock, a counter-shock force no less powerful than 'Blood Sword Wind and Clouds' was applied to his body.

In an instant, Wind and Rain Tower's body was hammered into the ground by this force.

Under this single blow, the terrain of the entire area was transformed into a basin.

As for Wind and Rain Tower's sword, it had been lost in the previous strike; using Fortune and Blessing, Su Ming successfully found it and claimed it for himself.

Not bothering to check if Wind and Rain Tower was dead or alive, Su Ming directly steered the heaven-reaching pagoda and left.

There were no enemies in this world that required his serious attention, so naturally, there was no need for a finishing blow.

Moreover, he was actually quite looking forward to seeing if these people would shout about things like the bonds of friendship and then have a sudden power-up.

When that time came, Su Ming would make them understand that such things were useless in the face of absolute strength.

After Su Ming left, Wind and Rain Tower crawled out from a fissure in the ground in a wretched state; he was covered in foul blood and dust, and one could see how severely injured he was with the naked eye.

Yet, there was not a hint of defeat in his eyes, only fanaticism and excitement.

He had originally thought that he had no other opponents in this world besides Jian Changgeng.

Before his life-and-death battle with Jian Changgeng, he could no longer temper his sword path through battles with others.

He had once been worried about this.

But Su Ming's appearance had shattered that view.

Now, he had a goal he could pursue.

He would use Su Ming as his whetstone to go further on the path of the sword.

He couldn't help but recall the original purpose of founding the Blood Sword Tower.

The true purpose of the Blood Sword Tower collecting 'immortal blood' to resurrect the Peerless Sword Cultivator was simply so that he could have an opponent to challenge.

That's right, Wind and Rain Tower's intentions were just that pure.

As for the rumors circulating outside that it was to destroy the Reincarnation Sword Realm, those were just false rumors spread by his subordinates.

It was only because he was too lazy to deal with these rumors that they eventually became reality.

"Hahahaha..." Wind and Rain Tower laughed wildly while vomiting blood, but he didn't care at all.

Nothing excited him more than seeing that his sword path could continue forward.

Ignoring the unconscious members of the Blood Sword Tower, Wind and Rain Tower dragged his heavily injured body away.

He would go back to recover properly and then challenge Su Ming again!

...Hang City.

Thanks to the convenience of the heaven-reaching pagoda, only the time it takes for two sticks of incense to burn had passed from Su Ming's departure to his return.

It wasn't dawn yet, but he no longer felt like continuing his cultivation.

Simply because upon his return, he suddenly received a notification from the System.

[The Host's Cultivation Technique has been promoted in the Outer Void. Currently, over a hundred people are practicing it. You have obtained 5,000 supreme destiny points.]

The speed at which Qian Youcai was working clearly exceeded Su Ming's expectations.

But Su Ming still had one thing he didn't understand.

"System, clearly my Primal Chaos Sword Art has been spread to over a hundred people in the Outer Void, but why is the spiritual energy I receive still the same as before?"

[Because the Host's Cultivation Technique failed to change these people's destinies, it is naturally impossible to receive a share of spiritual energy.]

Reminded by the System, Su Ming also realized what was happening.

The prerequisite for him to receive spiritual energy was indeed that those who practiced his Cultivation Technique had to change their original destinies.

If a person was originally capable of cultivating to the Void Realm, then Su Ming's technique, which could only allow someone to Cultivate to the Star Realm, naturally couldn't help them reverse their destiny.

His Cultivation Technique was merely one link in the other's path toward the Void Realm.

Although he didn't get any spiritual energy, fortunately, he obtained some supreme destiny points.

So he quickly opened the panel to check his currently held supreme destiny points.

[Name]: Su Ming;

[Realm]: Peak Star Realm;

[Innate Divine Ability]: Supreme Chaos Body (Level 1), Innate Dao Bone (Fully Unsealed);

[Cultivation Technique]: Source Codex of Creation (Stage 2), Chaos Scripture (Stage 1), Three Sages Scripture (Stage 3), Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos (Great Perfection), Fortune and Blessing (Minor Achievement), Heaven and Earth Carefree (Battle Technique);

[Items Held]: heavenly dao realm will * 2, heavenly dao realm talisman * 2, chaos spirit transformation bottle, battle spirit puppet, Taichu, heaven-reaching pagoda, heaven-destroying whip;

[war pet]: Shen Ming (Reincarnation Dragon Centipede, Peak Star Realm);

[destiny points]: 1,028,400;

[supreme destiny points]: 215,000;

"Given Qian Youcai's speed of expansion, it seems the supreme destiny points will rise steadily for a while."

"I just don't know if he'll be able to withstand the interference of the supreme heavenly mandate after it spreads on a large scale..."

Thinking of this, Su Ming suddenly felt the situation was grim and silently took out the 'chaos spirit transformation bottle' to begin cultivating...
