I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 233 - 139: Short-Lived Ghost (Please Subscribe)

For two consecutive days.

Chen Yi just woke up, opening his eyes to see Hua Xianzi across from him, revealing a faint smile.

Then, without waiting for Hua Xianzi to speak, he started to circulate the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, with sixteen Spiritual Acupoint Vortices emerging around his body.

Hua Xianzi’s beautiful eyes widened with delight, saying, "Brother Chen, your Spiritual Acupoints have reached perfection!"

Not far away, Xiao Xuanzhen saw the Spiritual Acupoint Vortices surrounding him, feeling surprised and a bit disappointed inside.

"Little Sword Immortal junior brother, was this epiphany a boost in cultivation?"

Chen Yi slowly converged his aura, exhaling a long breath of mist, saying:

"Just a minor gain."

This "epiphany" was actually a play he intentionally staged—the purpose was to prepare for the upcoming Sword Dao improvement.

In fact, when Chen Yi saw that the mission progress bar reached perfection on the panel, he knew he couldn’t break through as directly as he used to on Sword Edge Mountain.

Firstly, it had been only half a year since his last Sword Dao breakthrough, so he needed the "epiphany" as a cover.

Secondly, at this moment, revealing the perfection of his Spiritual Acupoints and hiding his Sword Dao was solely for others to see.

Xiao Xuanzhen, upon hearing this, said: "What a pity. If you had an epiphany in Sword Dao, your strength could improve even more."

After that, she secretly scolded herself for her unnecessary worries.

It’s better if the Little Sword Immortal junior brother doesn’t break through in Sword Dao, so she can surpass him later.

Hmph, when her Eight Skills make another breakthrough, she will surely defeat Little Sword Immortal junior brother!

Hua Xianzi, however, handed over a bottle of elixir, smiling and saying, "Brother, don’t be anxious. Advancing your cultivation is also good."

She didn’t think too much into it.

For Hua Xianzi, whether Chen Yi improved in Sword Dao or cultivation didn’t matter.

As long as his strength progressed, that made her very happy.

Chen Yi took the elixir and nodded, saying, "I will be leaving for some time afterward to consolidate my cultivation."

Hua Xianzi: "That’s proper."

With that said, the three of them left the Concealing Array and joined up with Xie Changle, Gongye Shou, and others.

"Thank you for guarding, Princely Heir."

"Not at all," Gongye Shou, upon learning of his epiphany in cultivation, regretfully said, "Brother Yi, you should look into Sword Dao in the secret realm later."

"Of course."

Then the group started talking about the people who had arrived around the secret realm in the past two days.

"Two disciples of the Flipping Heaven Dao from Wuliang Mountain came. As soon as they arrived, they set up a stage, proclaiming they would challenge all heavenly prides."

Gongye Shou said and burst into laughter.

"Guess what?"

"Within half a day, they were defeated by a monk from the West Continent and left with faces full of dust."

"And there’s that ’Soul Chaser’ from Luofeng Island of the East Continent. His strength is indeed formidable."

"Since his arrival here, he has been challenging the heavenly prides of the Taoist sect, with almost no one able to withstand three moves against him."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "That person is ranked fifth on the Earthly List; his strength must indeed be strong."

Saying this, he released a trace of Slaughter Sword Intent, encompassing the entire lakeside.

Compared to two days ago, the number of people here had nearly tripled.

The number of Jianghu Guests who came to watch the battles reached twelve hundred, with several hundred heaven prides and many others like guards and family members, bringing the total close to three thousand.

And Chen Yi knew that protectors like Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu were still hidden everywhere.

Carefully counting, just the Martial Artist forces outside of the secret realm were comparable to a small Sect.

"With such a force, Bai Shen Sect and demons still came to attack and kill..."

Thinking of this, Chen Yi steered the conversation toward the incident with the Southern Barbarian Sect.

"Brother Yi, I was about to discuss this with you."

Gongye Shou scanned the surroundings, signaling the shield and sword soldiers to stay outside and activating the Arrays they had set up around them.

"Over the past two days, besides the Sect and Academy’s heavenly prides, many barbarians from the Southern Barbarian Sect also came and set up defenses around the area."

"After multiple investigations, there are over a thousand barbarians, including at least ten Shamans."

Chen Yi slightly furrowed his brows, asking, "Do you know their intentions?"

"The situation is unclear," Gongye Shou shook his head and said: "Mother only replied to us to continue business as usual."

"It seems this time the Southern Barbarian Sect shouldn’t be reckless enough to make a major misstep and openly attack and kill us."

"That’s good…"

Saying this, Chen Yi remembered Wen Renying’s earlier reminder and continued asking, "Have you discovered the whereabouts of the demons?"

"No," Gongye Shou pointed at ’Great Void Buddha Child’ and laughed, "If any demon appears, Floating and Sinking Buddha Child will issue a warning immediately."

Floating and Sinking nodded, speaking indifferently: "Young Marquis, rest assured, I have a slight perception of demonic auras."

"Within a thousand miles, not a single demon can avoid the Buddha Light."

Gongye Shou took over the conversation, saying: "However, the demons haven’t appeared, but a few Evil Demons have come."

"One of them is an acquaintance of Brother Yi."

"Oh?" Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it ’Demoness’ from Bai Shen Sect or the Mad Old Man?"

Gongye Shou: "It’s the ’Mad Old Man’."

Xie Changle laughingly added: "That old man, relying on his fast movement technique, didn’t take anyone here seriously at all and kept coming back to provoke us several times."

Chen Yi nodded, recalling the scene when he killed the Mad Old Man in Jiangnan Prefecture earlier, feeling somewhat odd inside.

He remembered that he had chopped the Mad Old Man into pieces to be cautious, not expecting him to be able to come back to life.

"If you encounter him later, try to avoid him if possible."

Upon thinking of this, Chen Yi cautioned the group, "Apart from his speed of movement, he also has an extremely special method that allows him to be reborn from a drop of blood."

Xie Changle frowned deeply, "Reborn from a drop of blood?"

Although this was the first time he had heard of this, he couldn’t explain why it seemed vaguely familiar.

An old friend from the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield?

It must be, but he couldn’t recall which one it was.

"How spooky," Gongye Shou froze and nodded, "It’s good that we didn’t rashly carry out a Surrounding Kill, otherwise we really wouldn’t know how we died."

Afterwards, they all chatted for a while longer, and then Chen Yi excused himself, saying he needed to consolidate his Cultivation before preparing to leave the camp.

"Brother, shall I come with you?" Hua Xianzi suggested, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

Chen Yi glanced at her and shook his head, "It’s safer for you and Brother Changle to stay here."

"Don’t worry, I won’t go far, and nothing will happen."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanzhen stepped forward to hold Hua Xianzi back, whispering a few comforting words, and then looked at Chen Yi:

"Little Sword Immortal, be careful out there."

"This is the Southern Barbarian Land, not our Sect, and if you can’t find a safe place, feel free to return here."

Chen Yi glanced at her bit weirdly.

It’s rare for the daughter of the Sect Master to speak so seriously, has the sun risen from the west?

"What do you mean by that look?" Xiao Xuanzhen felt uneasy under his stare, and hummed, "I’m worried that if something happens to you, it will make Xue Ru feel sad."

"Thank you for your concern, sister~"

With that, Chen Yi greeted the others, disguised himself, and quickly left the camp.

...

At this moment outside the lake where the secret realm was located, the area cleared by the increasing numbers of Jianghu Guests had grown even larger.

Around them, in addition to wooden huts and tents, there were even some merchants selling wine and food.

Among them were not only Wei people but also barbarians and traders from the West Continent.

In the meantime, on the water within the inner ring, someone had set up a simple Martial Arts Arena where two people were sparring.

All around were Jianghu Guests watching the fight, with occasional cheers erupting from the crowd.

Chen Yi walked towards the dense forest while scanning his surroundings, alert for any concealed Evil Demons or demons.

Just then, an old Taoist selling fortunes by the side called out to him, "Young hero, would you like to have your fortune told?"

Chen Yi looked at him impassively, "No, thanks."

Undeterred, the old Taoist persisted earnestly, "Taoist only asks for two Silver Coins, not a hefty sum."

"No, not interested."

Saying this, Chen Yi was about to leave.

Having come from a Taoist background and having had his fortune told many times by the Qimen Lineage’s little princess, Du Yan, he had no interest in such divinations.

However, the old Taoist didn’t give up, sizing him up while mumbling an incantation.

"Young hero, be careful. You’ve faced many hardships in life, and soon there may be... Eh??"

The old Taoist seemed to see something and examined Chen Yi more attentively.

"How strange, strange, strange..."

Seeing this, Chen Yi stopped and smiled, "What’s so strange?"

He knew the old Taoist must have seen something, and he wasn’t in a hurry.

"If you can’t live past thirty, you’re doomed to be a short-lived ghost," the old Taoist, with a thin face, said, shaking his head, "But if you reach thirty, you will turn your life around and achieve great things."

"Now, however, you’ve already soared high, which is both odd and astonishing."

Chen Yi’s expression changed slightly as he sized up the old Taoist and took out two Silver Coins from his Sumeru Bag, placing them in the Taoist’s hand.

"Daoist, your Qimen fortune-telling is quite remarkable. I have other matters to attend to, but if we meet again, I will certainly ask for a full reading."

To his surprise, the old Taoist tossed the Silver Coins back and shook his head.

"Then we shall wait until you, young hero, have some spare time."

With that, he turned and sat back down at his stall, hunched over and muttering to himself with his eyes closed.

Chen Yi gave him a lingering look, committing the fortune-teller’s figure to memory.

It was the first time anyone had accurately spoken of his "fate," and while surprised, he admired the man’s Qimen divination ability.

If it wasn’t for his urgency to collect his reward and advance to the Sword Dao Divine Ability Realm, he would have liked to stay longer.

With this in mind, Chen Yi left the lakeside and entered the dense forest, silently disappearing into the distance.

After he had gone, the old Taoist turned to look in the direction Chen Yi had departed, still puzzled.

"Clearly, it’s a late bloomer’s destiny... Could it be that someone has changed his fate against nature?"

"Otherwise, how could this widely known ’Little Sword Immortal’ possess such a Sword Dao Talent?"

Chen Yi, who had left the range of the secret realm, was unaware that the old Taoist had discerned his "late bloomer" talent and was simply focused on retreating into the distance.

To conceal his tracks, he repeatedly dived into mud and water to wash away his scent.

Only when he was thousands of miles away from the secret realm did he finally stop.

Surveying the unchanging tall forest around him, he randomly chose a giant tree, hollowed out the inside, and crawled in, concealing himself with the bark.

As he sat in the dark, Chen Yi set up a Concealing Array and lit a candle.

Then he swallowed a Spiritual Origin Pill to recover his state.

Once the seventeen Spiritual Acupoint Vortices within him were fully formed, he finally exhaled deeply and summoned the panel—
