Those who Plan Ahead

"10 Drops of Dragon's Blood and 50 Comprehension points and a mortal all get them. Indeed laughable." Yong Yunzi mumbled, weaving an invisible thread. The thread cannot be seen because it was made of Spiritual Qi and only by triggering it by its weaver could it truly become sticky.

As an Emperor in her past life, she learned many scriptures. No, as someone from Nine Halls Mountain, she had learned many scriptures which may be useless but their versatility is top-notch in different situations.

Many people wanted to learn strong techniques and become known throughout Myriad Martial Worlds. Only people who had the purest heart could create a Dao capable of overturning Heaven itself.

'There is no weak technique, only a foolish user. Likewise, any Dao could become Great or even Supreme as long as one had the guts to do it.' It was what Yun Haoran told him who defeated him with Finger Pierce, a technique that uses Finger to fight.

In his hands, however, is a menacing technique that actively pierces her weak points. Even the so-called 'Perfected' technique, living or nonliving would be defeated by it.

She then learned many 'useless' techniques that prove useful when something calls for it. There are also some that she used to create her own version of Manual of Thousand Flames.

Her Flame Dao is also like that. It was known throughout the Divine Earth that Flame Dao is a normal Dao. It could transform into Lesser Dao as long as one gets their hands into a Flame that had been tempered throughout many generations and then absorbs it.

It could become Greater when one fused it to create the Five Elements Dao. However, she used the Explosion Dao, Dao of Heat, Dao of Sacredness, Dao of Longevity, Dao of Vibration, and the Dao of Sun, Dao of Convergence and Divergence to create the Great Dao of Divine Flame. Her namesake, Divine Flame Empress is like that.

She even hunted Phoenixes, Flame Giants, Nether Races, Corrupted Flames, and Flames with innate attributes between Heaven and Earth. Her plan is to use them to advance her Flame into Supreme Dao when she was in the ascension of Originator.

The Great Dao may know her plan to call forth tribulations for her, or so she thought. There are only a few people who controlled the Supreme Dao throughout many generations.

Only one in history of the Divine Earth that someone actually controlled one of the Transcendental Rules.

"The mortal who caught that 'thing' is an example of 'Being unlucky because of good luck.' He has been hunted by Myriad races because he possesses Dragon's Blood, in the real world. In the end, he was caught by the Devil Prince and one who inherited the 'Memories' of Devil Progenitor, Gu Yan.

It was also the start of the grand Era and when Eastern Heaven would start its connection to Central Heaven. Qi Sea Cultivators with an age limit of 50 could finally join." Yong Yunzi concluded and then started to create more traps.

The traps are those that if anything fails, there is a backhand and if the backhand fails, there are 100 more traps readied. Actually, she was digging traps left and right for the past weeks.

The one she was hoping to catch is a slippery fish with infinite stamina and the running speed of a Meridian Opening 12th stage who practices its whole life running and evading. It has been without any form of attack and can even be killed by a mortal punch.

It was a dumb luck that the mortal even killed that monster.

She could hope to catch them if she was in the 7th Stage but she is neither a 7th Stage in real life with the fighting strength of Qi Sea nor does she have the 7th level in this stage of the Path of Heaven.

She was only at the Meridian Opening 3rd Stage with the power of the 9th Meridian Opening. Not enough to catch it.

[Name: Qiu Lu (Serpent God)

Luck: Orange

Nickname: None

Stage: Meridian Opening 3rd Stage (Mortal)

Description: A guy who is not even a side character but would be the reason for the Great Era's spark of Heaven.

Turning Point: He manages to slay the Path of Heaven's Sliding Demon, getting the Dragon's Blood and Comprehension as the price in the process. 3 days after he was killed, he was found dead in the Mortal City.]

"System, how many days would I need to follow him to get that Sliding Demon?" A young man asked in the air, he had an excited but also annoyance in his expression.

[When he was practicing the Sword 3 days from now on, he accidentally slashed it but it was weak. Try to kill the Sliding Demon as fast as possible and get all the rewards.]

"Alright, 3 days it is." The young man replied following his unnoticed prey that was trying to kill a Meridian Opening Beast 2nd Stage and he was still being overpowered.

The beast is a Bull with horns on its head. Its every swing of its head can injure or kill a normal Meridian Opening 1st Stage. It can fight and win a Second Level beast. Nevertheless, the bull was still winning to that guy.

"Too weak, Mortals of this world are a lot stronger than Earth because of the vast Spiritual Qi and stronger Laws governing this world. But those standards are broken with the presence of Cultivators." The young man murmured.

He was concluding the presence of Spiritual Qi on why Mortals of this World are stronger than Earth's Mortal. His conclusion is the truth but not only about the Spiritual Qi.

It is also the Martial Arts they are practicing, the foods they ingest, and the luck of Myriad Martial World. Their lifespan in this world is about 150 years old.

"System, show my status." He added.

[Name: Chu Yan (Slashing Saber)

Luck: Orange

Nickname: None

Stage: Meridian Opening 3rd Stage (Meridian Opening 7th Stage)

Description: A normal cultivator that would live an ordinary life. You had the potential of a Primordial Soul and would die as a Primordial Soul.

Turning Point: You would meet a Dao Companion who is cultivating a Yin Attribute. As a Yang Cultivator, you would fall in love with each other quickly. Having the System, no one could calculate your fate.]

"I don't know about Sliding Demon, I needed to comprehend them all. System, are you sure you don't know the identity of the Dungeon Master? Someone who would call himself like that is someone from Earth. This kind of idea may differ from RPG from previous life but also the same gimmick nevertheless." Chu Yan asked while explaining his thoughts.

He was not really a native of this world but a transmigrator from a world known as Earth. He was an Office Worker who liked to play games or read novels in his free time.

He died because of exhaustion from extensive sleepless work. He then reincarnated in this Myriad Martial World with a guy named Chu Yan. He was only a 2nd Meridian Opening Stage but because of his constant looking at the turning point of everyone, he managed to raise it to 7th Level only a year after transmigrating.

It was his cheat system with two ways he could use it. He could see the turning point of everyone he met and also try to get it for himself. Calculate important information as long as he has heard about it.

[Name: ??? (Dungeon Master)

Luck: ???

Nickname: ???

Stage: ???

Description: An unknown entity???

Turning Point: Incalculable Karma. If you are not afraid of Karma, the system can calculate it with some information.]

"Tsk, I know I would suffer from this but it cannot be helped. Calculate." Chu Yan said as he readied for backlash. The second part is he would suffer consequences just to obtain some information. It differs from small wounds, internal damage, qi deviation, and heart demons.

If that guy had incalculable karma, he would suffer many degrees from the initial backlashes.

[Calculating…] A few seconds later, a status panel appeared on his face and he didn't know if he would laugh or cry.

[Name: ??? an (Dungeon Master)

Luck: ??? on

Karma: ??? Incalculable

Description:???

Turning Point: ?? asked ??? ??? some ??? and ??? ???... ]

"What?" Who the hell is…" Before he could ask any further, he vomited a large volume of blood. His eyes became bloodshot and he felt his entire body being twisted.

[Your real body suffered an injury, forcing the Participant to return.]

A message popped out and he was enveloped in a light. When he opened his eyes, he was injured all over his body. He was sweating blood and tears.

"My cultivation regressed into the 4th Meridian Opening. A severe backlash than I thought." Chu Yan said while laughing, agonizing over his own foolish thoughts.

"But I realize that guy is more dangerous so I should watch over my back. This world is not what it should be but has a lot of secrets going on." He mumbled, absorbing a pill.

"A Qi Sea with question marks? Seems I need to gather more information about this world." He mumbled as he entered a meditative state.

(The name Chu Yan of both reincarnations is intentional.)

"This is the end." Gu Yan shouted as he slashed out the monster from many pieces. Its insect wings were dissected and its green blood returned to the soil.

Its eyes had no fear; rather, it was enjoying itself. Its fighting spirit never diminished as it looked at the human who defeated it with appreciation in his eyes.

The monster had lost but they were not fine either. Gu Yan lost his left arm and right eye, and he sacrificed two of his subordinates while the other would die the moment untreated.

He was looking at the monster with cold eyes. He never enjoyed the fight because this was the hardest he fought so far. He would also need to be treated and use a hundred points just to heal himself.

All those who died at the Path of Heaven would not really die but they needed to wait for a day for them to be allowed again. It is also a way to recuperate their torn spirits and make it anew.

Gu Yan would rather spend a hundred points than die and come back anew.

But before he could enjoy the sweetness of his sacrifices, the mud boiled and there, a black fog emerged. They cannot see the transformation but they can sense the ominous energy much more than the one they had fought.

"Tsk, this is becoming troublesome. Is this the unfairness from Heaven or our own negative karma?" He said then he attacked the black fog but he didn't hit anything.

He was becoming annoyed by the scenario he wanted to punch someone right now. He used his control to calm himself down.

When the blackness had vanished, only a little limp was there. With an adult's head and a baby's body. It had long feet and a little arms. It is blood red in color. A long strand of hair towered in its baldness.

It had so much killing intent that could blacken the entire surrounding but it looked at Gu Yan who had an inferior killing intent with fright, it looked left and right without any intentions of fighting back.

"KYAAAAAA." When it felt Gu Yan's bloodlust, it ran. It ran at a speed they could not see. This is a cave system, its predecessor is the First Boss, and the limp is also the First Boss who would announce the New Era.
