99: The Origin of the Chosen One

Another ten days passed, and Lu Xingchen raised his Realm to Two-Star Martial Spirit.

That day, Lu Xingchen went to Li Gui to deliver the Medicinal Pills. He was about to leave when Li Gui stopped him.

Lu Xingchen was a little confused, "Senior Brother Li, is there something you need?"

Li Gui smiled and said, "There is indeed one thing I need Junior Brother Lu's help with."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Tell me. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely help."

"It's just that I took on a Disciple mission that requires five people to complete together, and we're still missing one."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

His top priority now was to gain experience and level up; he wanted to avoid other matters if possible.

Going on a mission would be too much of a waste of time.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Li, I want to focus on Cultivating and don't want to participate in Disciple missions. Anyway, the spirit value I earn from refining Medicinal Pills is enough, so there's no need to waste time on missions."

Li Gui smiled and said, "I already knew Junior Brother Lu would have such concerns. However, there's something you might not know: Outer Sect Disciples must complete at least three Disciple missions each year, or they will be expelled from Cangxuan Sect."

"I thought it would be more efficient for you to do missions with people you know rather than going alone. That's why I invited you."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "This rule doesn't apply to me. I'm confident I can enter the Inner Sect within a year."

Hearing this, Li Gui was also a little surprised.

"Junior Brother Lu truly has lofty ambitions! Only two people in the entire Cangxuan Sect have managed to enter the Inner Sect within a hundred years."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen also became interested.

"Which two?"

"Cangxuan Sect's current Saint, Lin Yuan, and Saintess, Yun Li."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "As expected of Cangxuan Sect's Saints! They should indeed possess such strength."

Li Gui sighed lightly.

"The distance between us and them is too vast; discussing this now is pointless. However, Junior Brother Lu, if you want to enter the Inner Sect within a year, you should participate in this mission even more."

"Because there are three requirements to enter the Inner Sect: complete five Disciple missions, achieve a Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm, and pass the Inner Sect Elder's test. These three requirements are all indispensable."

"Ah, this..."

Lu Xingchen was a bit speechless.

So if he wanted to enter the Inner Sect, he would have to complete even more missions.

After a moment of thought, Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"In that case, I'll go with Senior Brother Li Gui!"

Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Li Gui's face.

"Great, great! Then let's set off! Everyone on this mission is familiar. Besides you and me, there's also Zheng Jinghui, Li Jie, and Wang Dong."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "It really is all members of Ghost Gate!"

Lu Xingchen followed Li Gui to the Mission Hall, met up with Zheng Jinghui and the other two, then accepted the mission and rode horses together towards Nanjia City.

The mission was called "Apprehend the Serial Killer."

A pervert had appeared in Nanjia City, breaking into women's homes late at night, raping and then killing them, having murdered thirteen women consecutively.

But the City Lord's Mansion had been unable to catch him.

This incident had a very negative impact. The Nanjia City Lord had already closed the city gates, vowing not to rest until the killer was caught, and had sought help from Cangxuan Sect.

However, because the thirteen deceased women were all ordinary people, the higher-ups of Cangxuan Sect did not pay special attention to it, and thus assigned the mission to Outer Sect Disciples.

On the way to Nanjia City, Lu Xingchen, during casual conversation, asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time:

"Senior Brother Li Gui, do you know any news related to the Chosen One? I chatted with an Inner Sect Senior Sister before, and she told me not to casually say the words 'Chosen One.' So I'm a bit curious."

The Senior Sister Lu Xingchen mentioned was naturally Yun Li.

Yun Li's ambiguous words before had indeed piqued his curiosity.

Dayan Kingdom was a small place, so it was normal not to have any news related to the "Chosen One."

But Li Gui, as the seventh on the Earth Ranking, should know some information.

Li Gui was slightly startled, then smiled, "Chosen One? I know! This isn't a secret; it's even widely spread across Tianyuan Continent. Junior Brother Lu, you actually don't know?"

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "It's because I came from a small place. Senior Brother Li Gui, please tell me about it!"

Li Gui smiled and said, "Alright, there's nothing else to do on the road, so I'll tell you."

"To talk about the origin of the Chosen One, we must first talk about the three ancient sovereigns. The three ancient sovereigns were peerless Prodigies of our Human Race, who made immense contributions to the rise of the Human Race."

"The Heavenly Emperor alone created the Human Race's Cultivation system, allowing the Human Race to step into the Martial Dao and avoid becoming slaves to the Demon Race. The Earth Emperor, with his own strength, defeated the Demon Race Army, winning the Nine Provinces for the Human Race to thrive and multiply. The Human Emperor unified the Nine Provinces, established the Human Emperor Hall and the Righteous Path Alliance, laying the foundation for the Human Race's prosperity."

"It can be said that without the three ancient sovereigns, there would be no current prosperity of the Human Race."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart was also shaken.

Li Gui only spoke one sentence about each of the three ancient sovereigns' contributions, but Lu Xingchen could glimpse a hint of the immense difficulties and obstacles involved.

The three ancient sovereigns could truly be described as great!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Then what is the relationship between the Chosen One and the three ancient sovereigns?"

Li Gui continued, "Everyone on Tianyuan Continent knows the Martial Dao Cultivation system, but the Heavenly Emperor's strength is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. His cultivation likely surpassed the Martial God Realm, reaching a Realm we cannot comprehend."

"When Senior Heavenly Emperor fell, he integrated his power into the Power of Law of Tianyuan Continent, creating the heavenly emperor seal. As long as a Genius with great Luck appears in the Human Race, the heavenly emperor seal will actively appear to recognize him as its master, helping the Genius with great Luck to grow."

"And these Geniuses who obtain the heavenly emperor seal are called the Chosen One. Every Chosen One has the potential to elevate the Human Race to a more powerful level."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen gasped.

This Heavenly Emperor was too incredible!

Beyond the Martial God Realm, and even able to change the Law of Tianyuan Continent.

Needless to say, this "heavenly emperor seal" was specifically designed to protect the Human Race's Children of Luck.

Lu Xingchen then asked, "Senior Brother Li Gui, how many Chosen One are there in the Human Race in total right now?"

Li Gui said in a deep voice, "I don't know that, because I haven't even met a single Chosen One; I've only heard of this legend."

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily, "It's alright, maybe we'll have a chance to meet a Chosen One in the future."

Li Gui said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother Lu might have a slight chance. As for me, I'll pass; I know my limits."

After hearing the legend of the Chosen One, Lu Xingchen was also deeply moved and filled with curiosity about these people.

Then the five continued to rush towards Nanjia City.
