BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14: Pity
"Even if he was given away all the resources he desires, his golden age has passed."
"What a pity, what a pity. A purple talent that hasn\'t appeared in a thousand years will be buried just like that."
"The continent\'s lack of resources not only limited Su Bingxin\'s companion\'s cultivation level but also affected Su Bingxin\'s comprehension of the Heavenly Dao."
A few eldery figures spoke up, shaking their heads and sighing, proving that what Senior Sister Ling said just now wasn\'t false. In other words, Chen Tian could see the path to longevity, but he would never be able to reach it. No matter how great his talent was, he was destined to never rise up.
Without a strong foundation in the world as a backing, it was like competing alone with thousands of troops on the path of cultivation. One would be destined to become a whetstone for other geniuses.
When the surrounding young girls heard this, they looked at each other in dismay. Since that was the case, did they have to report the news of a purple talent cultivator appearing to their family?
"Sigh, if a genius defeated or killed a purple cultivator, the Immortal Sword Sect would probably pay more attention to him." Senior Sister Ling\'s words were quite vicious.
Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, many people looked at Chen Tian.
Putting aside the continent\'s ranking, if one actually defeated a purple talent cultivator and the news spread, he would definitely receive the attention of thousands of people. If he killed the purple talent cultivator, it would definitely attract the attention of the Immortal Sword Sect. Especially this Chen Tian, who was only a mortal. This was a godsend.
In an instant, the atmosphere on the back mountain became very strange. A group of people had already begun to stir.
\'These basters want to take advantage of me.\' Chen Tian, who was still testing his talent, was furious.
While testing his talents, Chen Tian suddenly noticed a group of male students approaching him with sneers on their faces. It became evident that they were not there to make friends, and their intentions were far from friendly. Chen Tian was fully aware of their objectives.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm his anger. It had been so long that he couldn\'t remember the last time someone had threatened him. If it had been anyone else, they would have been scared since the people in front of him could kill him with just a snap of their fingers, but Chen Tian wasn\'t afraid. On the contrary, he felt happy.
Chen Tian couldn\'t recall the last time he had felt this kind of pressure. His blood boiled with excitement at the thought of fighting them.
\'If only I had 1% of my first life strength,\' he thought to himself, \'No, I could crush them all. Perhaps 0.0000001% would be preferable.\'
\'Lucky for me, I can seize this opportunity and use the phenomenon\'s energy. The first stage of cultivation, known as the Body Refinement Realm, doesn\'t demand any specific techniques. It solely requires the cultivator to absorb the spiritual Qi present in the air and fortify their body.
With the energy from this phenomenon, I can reach the Body Refinement Realm.\'
When was the last time someone had dared to bully him? With a cold glint in his eyes, he started absorbing the energy of the phenomenon. \'If you want to fight, then don\'t blame me,\' he warned.
Chen Tian could feel the energy coursing through his body, which made him stronger—a feeling he had missed. Absorbing the energy came naturally to him, as he was no novice when it came to Qi. He had spent years training and had become one of the strongest cultivators; if he wanted, no one could sense his actions.
\'Fast! If I continue like this, I will break through to the Peak of the Body Refinement Realm,\' Chen Tian thought to himself as he focused on channeling his Qi. He could feel the power surging through his body and the potential for even greater strength.
He was absorbing Qi at a terrifying rate, and even he was surprised. In his previous life, when he started cultivating, there was no way he could absorb at such a speed.
As Chen Tian was focusing on absorbing the Qi from the phenomenon, the group that approached him arrived in front of the middle-aged woman.
"Seniors, the talent test has ended. Can we go to the martial arts arena now? We admire purple talents very much and would like to spar with them."
"This…"
The middle-aged women who were in charge of the sect summons were a bit hesitant, not knowing what to do. After all, these people didn\'t only include their own sect\'s students; there were also young ladies from various sects and powers, as well as their dao companions.
Even if it was the sect, it wasn\'t good to offend so many powers at the same time.
The purple talent was enough for them to protect him, but this person with the purple talent obviously could not step onto the longevity path.
When the middle-aged women thought of this and were about to speak, they saw that the middle-aged woman who presided over the summoning seemed to have made up her mind. She shouted coldly, "This is the summoning ritual of the Partnered Path Sect. Are you juniors trying to stop the summoning ritual?"
"If you want to challenge him, wait until the summoning ritual is over!"
The summoning ceremony could be said to be the most sacred ceremony on the entire this continent. No one could say that they had the guts to stop the summoning ceremony from proceeding. They would be punished very heavily if they were to do that, and the group of inexperienced young students were easily intimidated.
Furthermore, when the middle-aged lady from the sect said this, it was obvious that she wanted to protect Chen Tian.
"Partnered Path Sect, heh." Senior Sister Ling sneered, turning around and leaving.
"It\'s truly a pity that I\'m unable to spar with a purple talent."
"Since Senior has spoken, this junior will definitely obey. After the summoning ritual ends, this junior will come and disturb you again."
"Su Bingxin hasn\'t summoned her dao partner in a few years. Although she successfully summoned him today, he came from an unranked world. Not only did it not help her, it even blinded her perception of the Heavenly Dao and dragged down her cultivation."
"How lamentable."
The group of people shook their heads and sighed, gradually dispersing. There were still some people who looked at Su Bingxin with pity in their eyes, as if they saw a rising star that had just risen but had already sunk down.
"Who do they think they are? Even if someone comes from a less privileged continent, they can still possess talent. If the only issue is a lack of resources, joining the Immortal Sword Sect can solve that problem." Su Bingxin expressed her frustration.
Su Bingxin was sure that a person\'s background shouldn\'t limit their potential and that with the right tools, any problem could be solved.
