Chapter 3

“The eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!”

Su Chen was delighted when feeling the spiritual energy surging in his body.

Not only had he fully recovered from his injuries, but his cultivation had also broken through to another level thanks to the system.

This system…

It was still useful.

“Wait…”

Su Chen paused.

In the next second, the system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on being bragged about by others. The brag is Level Purple!]

[Bragging content: Senior Brother Su Chen is blessed with Heavenly Dao providence: 1/10000]

“Hmm? Level Purple? Blessed with Heavenly Dao providence? These junior brothers and sisters are really good at bragging!”

Su Chen shook his head slightly when hearing the system notification in his mind.

If he wanted to be blessed with Heavenly Dao providence, he needed to be bragged about by 10,000 people.

Although the original host had some connections in the Great Mystery Sect, it was too difficult to scrape together 10,000 people.

The Heavenly Dao providence.

This was the protagonist’s golden finger. It was something that could be encountered but not sought.

Usually, if you were not born with that, it would be very difficult for you to have it in this lifetime.

Only those chosen by the Heavenly Dao could have the blessing of the Heavenly Dao providence.

Those who had the blessing of the Heavenly Dao providence could even influence the prosperity of a faction.

The reason why the original host of this body was able to escape death twice in a row was because of the blessing of the Heavenly Dao providence.

Su Chen guessed that the reason why the original host died this time was probably that he had wasted most of the Heavenly Dao providence in the previous two times.

However…

At this moment, there was a sharp rap on the door.

“Bang! Bang!”

Then, an anxious voice sounded, “Senior Brother Su, this is Cao Yun. I came to see you with our junior brothers.”

“Cao Yun?”

Hearing this voice, Su Chen carefully recalled.

Su Chen had some impression of this person who had a good relationship with the original host.

This person must be the one who started bragging about the removal of the toxins in his body.

Thinking of this, Su Chen stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the thatched cottage.

“Senior Brother Su!”

“Senior Brother Su!”

Many outer sect disciples shouted in surprise when they saw Su Chen.

“Senior Brother Su, you… Are you alright?”

Cao Yun, standing in front of the crowd, looked at Su Chen who was unharmed, and asked.

Although Su Chen’s face was still a little pale, his aura was very stable. It did not seem like he was injured.

“I’ve completely recovered,” Su Chen said casually.

“Again!”

This remark made many disciples present panicked.

The same thing happened again!

The disciples present respected Su Chen very much, so they would not have any doubts about him.

Moreover…

Judging from Su Chen’s aura, he did not seem to be lying.

[Ding! Ten people have been detected to have the headcanon that you are blessed by the Heavenly Dao providence!]

[Blessed with the Heavenly Dao providence: 18/10,000]

The system notification sounded again.

The characters on the light screen also jumped rapidly.

Some of the disciples here had just joined the Great Mystery Sect this year. At first, they did not believe that Su Chen was blessed with the Heavenly Dao providence.

After all, his two adventures were only hearsay, and they had never seen it with their own eyes.

But now that Su Chen was safe and sound, the new disciples who had been suspicious secretly agreed with Cao Yun’s words.

“Have you buried the other four junior brothers in my team?” Su Chen glanced at the crowd and asked.

Everyone froze at his question.

The originally joyous atmosphere was instantly shattered, and everyone felt sorrow at heart.

This time, there were five people on this team. Su Chen was the leader, leading the other four disciples into the Desolate Mountains.

But in the end, he was the only one who came back alive.

“They have been buried in the Desolate Mountains…” Cao Yun said sadly.

“That’s good. Are the people from the Everlasting Sect still in the Desolate Mountains?” Su Chen asked after giving a little nod.

“Hmm? Senior Brother Su, is this really related to the Everlasting Sect?” Cao Yun’s expression changed when he heard this and he hurriedly asked.

“Yes.”

Su Chen nodded gently.

At least, according to the memories of the original host, this matter was related to the Everlasting Sect!

“No, they should be on their way back to the sect.”

Hatred appeared on Cao Yun’s face as he spoke.

When Su Chen heard this, he pondered.

He was originally prepared to chase after them for revenge, but it seemed that he would not have the chance now.

Although it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Su Chen never considered himself a gentleman.

“Then I’ll take revenge in the future! Now I should use the system to make myself stronger and increase my strength,” Su Chen thought to himself.

Everyone knew that the fantasy world was an extremely dangerous place.

Only by becoming stronger could one keep his life.

“By the way, Senior Brother Su, what happened in the Desolate Mountains?” Cao Yun suddenly asked at this moment.

Other people also cast curious glances at Su Chen after that.

When Su Chen heard this, he carefully thought about his previous memories and explained, “The Everlasting Sect lured a third-level Qi Sea Realm beast at the entrance of the Desolate Mountains. And we accidentally…”

He did not hide anything and simply explained what had happened.

“Bastards!”

All the disciples said indignantly.

“I’ll definitely take revenge by myself!” Su Chen glanced at everyone and said.

This was his well-thought-out decision, which would deepen the trust of the disciples in him.

Once the trust level reached its peak, they would become his loyal followers and provide him with the energy he needed to make the brags come true.

Su Chen already had a deep understanding of the system’s functions and limitations.

He knew that if he wanted to become stronger, the best way was to develop believers!

When there were only ten or twenty people boasting about him, the speed at which he became stronger might be very slow.

However, if there were tens of thousands, or even millions, or even tens of millions of believers boasting about him, then his achievements would be unimaginable.

Therefore, trust was very important!

After all, the system’s first requirement was that the person who bragged about him had to be sincere. If it was a show of flattery, even if there were billions of people, the brags would not be true.

Just as Su Chen had expected, after he said this, everyone looked at him gratefully. A few female disciples even showed gratitude in their eyes.

Although Su Chen tried to take revenge for himself, wasn’t he also taking revenge for his four dead junior brothers?

“Senior Brother Su, your aura seems to be even denser than before…” an ordinary-looking female disciple said while looking at Su Chen.

Su Chen looked at his junior sister approvingly, which meant he was very satisfied with what she said.

This junior sister’s remark gave everyone an opportunity to imagine.

“After my injuries recovered, I gained a little enlightenment and accidentally broke through…”

Su Chen’s expression was calm as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

“A little enlightenment? Accidentally?”

The corners of the disciples’ mouths twitched after they heard what Su Chen said.

“So, Senior Brother Su, are you now at the eighth level of Qi Gathering Realm?” that junior sister continued to ask.
