The trouble started with Su Chen, and the superiority of the temple

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight; this is the main theme for a Child of Destiny.

Su Chen was no exception.

After suffering the setback brought by Feng Yuanqing, he calmed down and solidified his invincible Dao Heart.

He unexpectedly comprehended the second layer of meaning of the Invincible Heart.

"Rigidity is easily broken. Blindly pursuing the path of invincibility without considering the situation is not advisable."

"Invincibility should not just be about not losing; it should also include the heart of a strong individual who grows stronger with each defeat, fearless of the long road ahead."

"Neither arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat!"

Having comprehended a deeper meaning of the Invincible Heart, Su Chen achieved a breakthrough after destruction.

His Dao Heart, which had previously developed cracks, became solid at this moment.

The Dao rhyme within him flowed endlessly, and golden divine light shone even brighter than before.

Compared to his previous sharp edge, Su Chen now carried an additional layer of introversion.

"So that's how it is," Su Chen murmured.

"Before, I was too shallow and only acted recklessly, but from today onwards, that won't happen again."

Su Chen learned to restrain himself from the confrontation.

All of this was reflected in the subsequent Saint Hall Training assessment.

Because Su Chen had humiliated the Underworld Dao Sect too severely in the previous days, during the Saint Hall Training assessment, the people of the Underworld Dao Sect retaliated against the Ancient God Sect like madmen.

Fearing that their strength would not be enough, the Underworld Dao Sect secretly allied with other forces to teach the Ancient God Sect a lesson.

In the Saint Hall Training assessment, there was a stage where all participants were thrown into a primitive, desolate land, where they had to survive for one year.

Only those who emerged alive could enter the next round of assessment.

The so-called primitive desolate land was a suspended desolate island that the Saint Hall had expended immense human and material resources to drag back from Chaos.

It contained the rules from the beginning of heaven and earth, and various Opportunities were abundant.

At the same time, Vicious Beasts ran rampant, and various strange demonic plants were everywhere, filled with danger.

But overall, there were more Opportunities, and obtaining just one Opportunity within it could benefit one for life.

This was also why various forces scrambled to participate in the assessment.

Even if they couldn't enter the final Saint Hall Training, the benefits gained in the Saint Hall Training assessment alone were enough to make people envious.

The negative consequences brought by Su Chen began to emerge.

After entering the primitive desolate land, Su Chen did not act with the Disciples of the Ancient God Sect; he chose to go alone.

The others did not try to stop him, knowing that Su Chen was just that kind of person.

But shortly after Su Chen left, the people of the Underworld Dao Sect found the Disciples of the Ancient God Sect.

The Underworld Dao Sect Disciple shouted, "Where is Su Chen? If you know what's good for you, get out here."

This aggressive demeanor made the Disciples of the Ancient God Sect realize that the visitors meant trouble.

Moreover, the opponents were stronger than them.

The Ancient God Sect Disciple said Su Chen was not there and prepared to back off.

How could the people of the Underworld Dao Sect let them retreat?

"The karma Su Chen created, you will repay."

"Men, take them all down, every single one. If anyone dares to resist, kill them directly."

The people of the Ancient God Sect did not want to be captured without a fight, but their opponents were too strong, and they were no match, so they could only be slaughtered.

"Quick, tell me, where did Su Chen go?"

"I don't know, he went by himself, we don't know his whereabouts."

"Still covering for him, huh? I see you prefer punishment over cooperation."

"Come, give them some intensity, let them experience what it's like to wish for death, and see if their mouths are still hard."

The people of the Underworld Dao Sect immediately brought out various torture instruments.

Pulling out tendons, flaying skin, cutting flesh and draining blood, scraping bones and marrow, they used every extreme method.

They controlled it well, only torturing, not killing.

"This is called an eye for an eye."

"The cruel methods Su Chen used on my Underworld Dao Sect Disciples that day, I will return to you one by one."

"I will return them to you twofold!"

The Disciples of the Ancient God Sect were tortured beyond recognition by the people of the Underworld Dao Sect.

The tragic scene was truly horrific.

At this moment, Su Chen was receiving a Legacy Opportunity, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"After accepting this Legacy, my strength will advance another level, and my Realm will also increase."

"After I go out, if I encounter Feng Yuanqing again, I might just be able to defeat him."

The Legacy reception was complete. When Su Chen emerged from the mountain, what he saw were his fellow Disciples, more than half dead or injured.

The few who survived were also on their last breath, and his Senior Sister, unable to bear the burden, had chosen to commit suicide.

Su Chen was enraged, his eyes bloodshot. Like a madman, he pursued and killed the Disciples of the Underworld Dao Sect, leaving none alive.

When he turned back to comfort the survivors, what he received was curses.

"Get lost! We told you not to cause trouble, but you just had to provoke the Underworld Dao Sect."

"Do you know how they treated us? Look at our wounds, they didn't kill us, they just tortured us like this, bone by bone, flesh by flesh, tendon by tendon, skin by skin."

"You are the culprit behind all of this. If you hadn't crippled the Underworld Dao Sect Disciples that day and humiliated them in front of everyone, how would we have ended up in such a state?"

Su Chen was speechless.

At that time, he only cared about his own satisfaction and did not consider the consequences.

Humiliating the Underworld Dao Sect, with their vindictive Heart-Nature, they would definitely retaliate twofold.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault," Su Chen said in a deep voice.

"If it's your fault, why don't you die? Go down and apologize to them! Senior Sister and all the Junior Brothers, they all died because of you. What right do you have to live?"

After speaking, that person slapped Su Chen hard across the face, shedding tears, filled with endless desolation.

He hadn't cried during the torture he endured these past few days.

But thinking of his deceased fellow Disciples, he could no longer hide his sorrow and burst into loud sobs.

Su Chen silently endured the pain. If I had been more mature at the time, and listened to the Elder's words, would I have been able to avoid such a tragedy?

But there is no turning back in this world; everything is already a foregone conclusion.

"Underworld Dao Sect, you wait for me. After I get out, the first thing I'll do is wipe out your entire sect."

What happened next was probably Su Chen embarking on a path of revenge due to the deaths of his fellow Disciples.

Sacrificing his fellow Disciples, then growing stronger.

Ultimately annihilating the entire Underworld Dao Sect.

If, there are no surprises.

...

...

The Saint Hall Training assessment began, and the Qi Luck Children all entered the assessment grounds.

Xiao Fan, unable to find the Child of Destiny, occasionally visited Lin Ningqin at the Eternal Saint Academy's residence, acting like a big brother.

Lin Ningqin also fell deeper and deeper under Xiao Fan's care and concern.

Xiao Fan greatly enjoyed this feeling.

However, these were secondary tasks; as a proper person, Xiao Fan had proper business to attend to.

The Saint Academy Disciples' residences were within the Saint Hall. Although one could not go deep into the Saint Hall's core, walking around the periphery was no problem.

Using this as an excuse, Xiao Fan entered the Saint Hall to ascertain the situation.

"As expected of the Saint Hall, even the bricks on the ground are Immortal Artifacts that have undergone a thousand refinements. Randomly throwing one out would be a highly coveted treasure."

"The Dao rhyme of the Saint Hall is rich, and it even emanates faint traces of Saint rhyme. Cultivating in such a place, even a pig could become a Golden Immortal."

Xiao Fan walked through the Saint Hall, exploring most of the peripheral areas.

If the non-core areas were so magnificent and sacred, the core areas must surely be a different world altogether.

A thought arose in his mind: how wonderful would it be if this Saint Hall belonged to him?

The Saint Hall was vast, occupying one-tenth of the entire Central Immortal Domain.

If all of it were used to cultivate Qi Luck Children, he dared not imagine how beautiful that scene would be.

Hehehehe...

As Xiao Fan walked, a confident young man approached him, followed by a group of Saint Hall Disciples, like his entourage.

"Senior Brother Feng, where are you going now?"

"Idiot, why even ask? He's definitely going to meet the people from the Saint Academy below."

"It's not that I look down on them, but Saint Academy Disciples and our Saint Hall Disciples are simply not on the same level; there's a world of difference. In my opinion, those people are all bumpkins, nothing to fear."

"Heh heh, looking down on others, be careful someone steps on your head."

Feng Yuanqing strongly agreed. He was greatly surprised when he researched the Eternal Saint King's past.

Starting from humble beginnings, self-reliant and unyielding, living a life on the edge, he grew strong.

In the Eternal Saint King's growth journey, he became a Saint without joining a famous sect.

His greatest honor now was merely being called a Prodigy. Compared to the Eternal Saint King, Feng Yuanqing always felt he was still far behind.

"Don't underestimate others. We just have a more superior cultivation environment than others. This doesn't mean our path will be smoother than theirs."

"How do you know there aren't world-shaking Geniuses among the Disciples of the Saint Academy below?"

At Feng Yuanqing's words, the arrogant Disciple who had looked down on others just now lowered his head in shame.

"Senior Brother Feng's lesson is right."

Feng Yuanqing said, "I'm not lecturing you; I just want to tell you not to underestimate any opponent, no matter how humble they may be like dust."

"No one is weak forever."

"Underestimating your opponent is a major taboo; be careful, it could cost you your life."

The words exchanged by these people fell into Xiao Fan's ears.

He didn't expect there to be a little fanboy of the Eternal Saint King in the Saint Hall. Rare indeed.

The Geniuses of the Saint Hall were not as arrogant and conceited as he had imagined.

He didn't expect such a good environment could cultivate Geniuses with such Heart-Nature. The Saint Hall indeed had a knack for cultivating Disciples.

The more this was the case, the more Xiao Fan wanted to bring the Saint Hall into his possession, to use it for himself.

Xiao Fan brushed past these few people, inadvertently looking at Feng Yuanqing, who was handsome and distinguished.

He was humble and well-dressed.

He clearly had the demeanor of a Great Master.

The only drawback was that he didn't have a golden script above his head, which meant he wasn't a Child of Destiny.

Xiao Fan secretly shook his head, thinking that this person was probably a stepping stone for a Child of Destiny.

As the two brushed past each other, Xiao Fan walked calmly and indifferently.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuanqing felt a slight tremor in his heart, a feeling of inferiority.

He stopped, causing the other Saint Hall Disciples to look confused.

"Senior Brother Feng, what's wrong?"

"Weren't we going to see how the Prodigies from the Saint Academy below are doing?"

Feng Yuanqing ignored them. He suddenly turned his head to look at the man he had just passed, a glint flashing in his eyes.

"Without any Aura, yet able to make me, who has cultivated the Mixed Sky Vajra Flawless Great Art, feel a tremor in my heart. Very strong!"

Without another word, Feng Yuanqing flashed forward.

He landed directly in front of Xiao Fan, saying eagerly,

"You're very strong. Can we spar?"

Looking at Feng Yuanqing, who had suddenly turned around and blocked his path, Xiao Fan looked confused.

He pointed to himself with his index finger.

"Me, very strong?"
