Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 468 New Destiny, Divine Illumination Without Bounds

The steps of Wudao Mountain.

Lin Chen's figure reappeared, and this time the entire staircase turned gold.

Shining with golden light, they ascended to the top and were crowned.

Lin Chen was unusually excited. According to what the sect leader had told him, since he already had a destiny, and one person cannot have two destinys, the reward that Martial Dao Mountain would give him should be to strengthen his destiny so that it would not be easily taken away by others.

But what if?
Feeling the golden light bathing his entire body, Lin Chen felt warm all over. The fact that he, a powerful innate cultivator, could still feel warmth was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of the golden light.

After a hundred breaths, the golden light disappeared from his body.

At the same time, large golden characters slowly descended from above Lin Chen's head.

[Blessed Destiny: Boundless Divine Illumination]

It turns out that he was granted a destiny?
Lin Chen's breathing became rapid. This was different from what the sect leader had said. He had actually guessed right.

Is divine illumination boundless?

Before Lin Chen could even comprehend the meaning of this destiny, the four golden characters "Divine Illumination Without Boundaries" descended from above, instantly entering his chest and flowing down into the ocean of his soul in his dantian.

Four large characters crashed down into this ocean of spirits.

In that instant, Lin Chen felt as if his entire soul was floating on air. The bright moon rose once again in his sea of ​​souls, and as the moon rose into the sky, the weapons formed by the martial arts wills of many people in the seabed also rushed out of the water.

boom!
The next moment, the bright moon suddenly tore apart, and the stars in the sky seemed to be torn apart by a terrifying force, spreading outwards at a crazy speed.

Looking inward at his own soul, Lin Chen witnessed a scene of a galaxy constantly expanding, and his own soul was being torn apart by some mysterious force.

His soul was torn apart, and Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock. Veins bulged on his body from the pain, which exceeded his previous limits. Martial Dao Mountain seemed to sense Lin Chen's condition, and the three golden characters "[Bestowed Fate]" transformed into a shower of golden rain that fell on him.

The golden rain fell like a divine elixir, quickly relieving the excruciating pain that had torn his soul apart. However, Lin Chen was completely unconscious and unaware that the golden rain was still falling on him.

Unbeknownst to him, his soul in his dantian was undergoing an astonishing transformation.

……

……

A day later, Lin Chen slowly woke up.

"Chen'er, are you alright?"

"Chen Di is awake!"

Hearing his mother's and older brother's excited voices, Lin Chen opened his eyes and realized he was lying in bed.

"Chen'er, you scared your mother to death! How could you suddenly faint? If it weren't for Yueyue saying you were alright, I would have been worried sick."

Lin's mother still had tears on her face. Upon hearing this, Lin Chen glanced around the room. Besides his mother and elder brother, his father and sister-in-law were also there, though not very close. At the table in the room, Yin Yue sat there calmly.

"Mother, I'm fine. I just collapsed from exhaustion due to over-cultivation. It's nothing serious. You haven't told anyone about this, have you?"

Lin Chen knew very well that if the news of his fainting got out, it would cause a sensation throughout Canglan Island, and even Lord Kong in the capital would be uneasy.

"Mother went to see Lord Jia, but Lord Jia didn't know what happened to you either. In the end, it was little Yueyue who said you were fine and would wake up soon. Lord Jia told us to listen to little Yueyue."

Lin's mother explained to Lin Chen what had happened after he fainted. Lin Chen understood that his teacher must have noticed that Yin Yue was different from other little girls. Moreover, since she came from the Yan Dynasty, she must have been knowledgeable and experienced, and chose to trust Yin Yue's judgment.

After comforting his mother for a while, Lin Chen asked his parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law to leave, leaving only Yin Yue in the room.

"Even if you fail to develop your cultivation technique using the Taixu Stone, it won't make you faint."

Before Lin Chen could speak, Yin Yue said, "Your injury is clearly to your soul, and it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing Yin Yue's words, Lin Chen smiled. The little girl was afraid that he would try to extort her, so she immediately cleared her name.

"I have something I want to ask you. Have you ever heard of destiny?"

Lin Chen didn't scare Yin Yue, but instead looked serious. Yin Yue's eyes widened when she heard Lin Chen's words: "Fate? Yes... You are the number one in Martial Arts Mountain, and according to the rules, you will receive a fate. So you went to Martial Arts Mountain to receive your fate and that's why you became like this. This fate is related to the soul?"

"Yes, I have indeed obtained my destiny."

"What kind of destiny?"

Lin Chen remained silent and did not answer.

Seeing that Lin Chen remained silent, Yin Yue guessed what Lin Chen was thinking.

"You want to learn about your destiny from me, right? My clan does have records about destiny. In fact, everyone has a destiny, but most people's destiny is quite ordinary; to sum it up in one sentence: 'the masses.'" The masses...

That's a fitting description of one's destiny.

"Among the many destinies, there is one called the Martial Arts Destiny, which is related to us martial artists. There are many people with destinies, but those with the Martial Arts Destiny are one in a million."

"For example, the martial arts destiny [Wisdom Root] will give martial artists a higher comprehension in martial arts cultivation than others. However, most martial arts destiny only plays a supporting role and cannot make a martial artist soar to new heights."

Yin Yue explained everything she knew about destiny in detail, and Lin Chen then realized that the so-called martial arts destiny of the Yan Dynasty was different from what he had understood.

More accurately, because of the power of the "Successful in the Way" destiny on his own panel, he subconsciously thought that other martial arts destinies were also this powerful, which could be described as defying the heavens and changing one's fate.

In reality, martial arts destiny cannot defy fate at all; it is more like an auxiliary buff.

The kind of fate he guessed, such as "late bloomer" and "hard work pays off," never existed in the martial arts world of the Yan Dynasty. According to Yin Yue, the most powerful fate revealed by the Yan Dynasty in their clan's records was "unyielding in a hundred battles."

Martial artists with this destiny have the opportunity to break through their current realm in battle, especially in extreme battles against powerful enemies.

But the prerequisite is that one's own strength has reached the edge of a breakthrough, and one is just one step away from it.

"It's also possible that there are even more powerful destinies, but as long as the person involved doesn't reveal it, outsiders have no way of knowing. The reason why the martial artist with the [Unyielding in a Hundred Battles] destiny was exposed was because he frantically sought out others to fight with every person he broke through, which led everyone to guess the clues. Finally, after he broke through to the sixth level of the Innate Realm, he directly confessed it to the outside world."

After speaking, Yin Yue looked at Lin Chen with a curious look in her eyes: "What destiny did Martial Dao Mountain bestow upon you?"

"Divine illumination is boundless."

Lin Chen ultimately did not hide anything. Since he wanted to know more about his destiny from Yin Yue, he had to be honest with her.

"Divine Illumination Without Bounds? It's actually a destiny related to the soul!"

Yin Yue's eyes showed surprise: "Among martial arts destinies, those related to the soul are extremely rare."

"How do you know it's related to the soul?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Divine Illumination is the divine soul. You'll understand later. Divine Illumination is boundless... Your destiny..."

As if she had just thought of something, Yin Yue reached into her colorful storage box and took out a medicinal herb that resembled a lingzhi mushroom.

"You... take a sniff, just a sniff, don't swallow it."

Seeing Yin Yue's wary and cautious demeanor, Lin Chen knew that this spiritual medicine was definitely a valuable item, but a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way.

This belongs to Yin Yue; he wouldn't actually let someone else take advantage of this opportunity.

Upon receiving the elixir, Lin Chen inhaled its fragrance. The next moment, he noticed that the Starry Soul Diagram within his dantian trembled slightly, but quickly returned to calm.

"I was right."

Seeing that Lin Chen was unharmed, Yin Yue stretched out her hand: "Give it back to me."

"it is good."

Lin Chen returned the elixir-like substance to Yin Yue and asked, "What kind of elixir is this, and what is its connection to my destiny?"

"You just need to know that martial artists below the fourth level of the Innate Realm will become drunk just by smelling it, just like ordinary people. Only martial artists above the fourth level have a soul strength that can withstand this spiritual medicine."

"You had no reaction after smelling it just now, which means that your destiny [Boundless Divine Illumination] is at work. I guess the function of your destiny is to allow your soul to grow infinitely, without being constrained by your body and realm. Boundless... means without end."

Even Yin Yue, whose emotions rarely fluctuate, had a look of envy in her eyes at this moment. Lin Chen was truly a darling of the martial arts world. Not to mention his martial arts talent, he now also possessed such a powerful destiny.

The soul is not bound by the body or realm, which means that as long as there are enough resources for the soul to absorb, Lin Chen's realm may still be the second level of the Innate Realm, but his soul may have reached the third or fourth level of the Innate Realm or even higher.

Theoretically speaking, given enough resources, Lin Chen's soul could reach the sixth level of the Innate Realm.

Of course, this is only in theory. To increase one's spiritual power to the sixth level of the Innate Realm by absorbing external energy would probably require emptying up all the resources accumulated by the Canglan Sect over hundreds of years.

"Unlimited growth of the divine soul?"

Lin Chen smiled as well. It seemed that the [Divine Illumination Without End] destiny was indeed a good destiny.

"Don't be too happy. I estimate that Martial Dao Mountain will grant you this destiny because you have cultivated the prototype of the Martial Soul Diagram. Your soul is already much stronger than that of other martial artists at the same level. However, the growth of your soul is more difficult than condensing a Primordial Crystal. If you really want to reach the third or even fourth level of your soul when you are at the second level of the Primordial Realm, the cost will be a terrifying figure."

"Something is better than nothing, I'm not greedy."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Speaking of the Martial Soul Diagram, don't forget the promise you made to me back then."

In the deal between Yin Yue and himself, it was clearly mentioned that she would guide him on how to cultivate his Martial Soul Sea, Rising Moon.
