"I should search if there is any way to increase my luck. Otherwise, if things continue like this, my life is going to be very miserable…" Wang Chen decided with a firm gaze, his attention drifting back to the screen. Lin Huang and Li Mei had already started battling with the abyssal demons. Compared to him, they were faring far better—after all, at the same level, their stats were far superior to his own.

As the situation wasn't serious, Wang Chen stopped paying attention to the two and shifted his focus to the system panel. He had heard the familiar chime of the system some moments ago.

As he focused, a blue window popped up in front of him.

[You have developed minor understanding of the Transcendental Law of Fate, current understanding 0.001%. The effect of all skills dealing with intangible laws such as karma, fate, and destiny increased by 100%.]

[After watching the thread of fate in close concentration, you have understood and learned the technique Fourth Eye – allows the user to visualize the abstract providence; secondary effect, the user develops an affinity for items dealing with providence.]

"Cool, so that means I can sense things that can increase my providence…" Wang Chen concluded from the limited information he had.

But still, this was a surprise to him. After all, everyone knew just how hard it was to comprehend even the ten thousand lower laws, not to mention something as sacred as the ten transcendental laws.

According to the legend he'd heard, if any cultivator could comprehend all three transcendental laws, they could dominate the Lower Realm completely, without any rivals. These weren't just empty rumors, but reality—there had even been a figure in the past who fully mastered all the transcendental laws and became the sole ruler of the Lower Realm.

The Zenith Emperor! His rise caused the masters from the Upper Realm to grow afraid, and they destroyed his empire. In a battle lasting for years, the Zenith Emperor fought till his last breath, defying the Upper Realm's powers, but when he saw the cultivators of the Lower Realm siding with the Upper Realm enemies, he was disappointed.

"I must have been stupid to fight for ungrateful people like you…" After saying these words, the Zenith Emperor disappeared. There were rumors if the Zenith Emperor's rule had continued to this day, the Lower Realm's strength might not be any less than the Upper Realm.

That fellow was just too damn talented.

And after his disappearance, everyone knew what happened—the broken and divided Lower Realm was invaded by demons once the Upper Realm withdrew, and the world fell into a dark age ruled by demons. Even to this day, the threat of demons persists.

"It's hard to believe a single figure could have such a profound impact on the world…" Wang Chen muttered in sheer admiration. Just imagining himself in the shoes of the Zenith Emperor made his blood boil. Fighting the cultivators from the Upper Realm—just how absurdly talented and powerful would you have to be?

Wang Chen let out a sigh and once again focused on the screen, witnessing how his two disciples were faring.

Lin Huang had gotten his hands on a blade somehow, and Wang Chen noticed an incredible sword aura gathering around him. The rusted blade in his hand seemed to become coated in sharp sword light, cutting through the abyssal demons like a knife through butter.

Just one look, and Wang Chen's eyes lit up.

As expected from someone born with a natural sword bone. Although the sword bone was taken away from him, Lin Huang is still a master when it comes to the sword. It's just a matter of time before he achieves the third level of the Mortal Sword Dao, becoming Heart of Sword—the same level Wang Chen was at.

Mortal Sword Dao was divided into three levels:

First level – Man and Sword; second – One With the Sword; and third – Heart of Sword. Each realm was much harder to comprehend, their difficulty on par with comprehending a great law. If someone wanted to go even higher in the Dao, they would have to give birth to their own path, reaching the Eternal Heart Sword.

This was no easy feat, as the difficulty was the same as understanding the transcendental laws, or even higher. After all, this time the cultivator was giving birth to something unique to themselves, not taking understanding from the world.

It was just too difficult… Wang Chen himself had been stuck on the peak of the mortal dao for who knows how many years.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang didn't know what Wang Chen was thinking. The world around him had completely disappeared. There was no fear in his heart, no hesitation—there was nothing except sharpness, a sharpness that could tear through any enemy in front of him.

Li Mei, who was also busy in her battle, was surrounded by tens of flaming lions, all dancing and regulating by twisting their waists, and burning all the abyssal demons who were trying to get close to her to a crisp.

She had long felt Lin Huang's strange state and couldn't stop herself from widening her eyes. Is senior brother comprehending the dao in the middle of battle?

Thinking up to this point, she sucked in a breath of cold air, finally understanding just what kind of absurd monster her senior brother actually was.

Meanwhile, just at this time, the sword in Lin Huang's hand let out an intense glow. The sound of something sharp rippling through the air echoed in every direction. With Lin Huang as the center, a storm of sword qi roared out, destroying everything in its path. The demons who were close to him were ripped to shreds; the ground was shredded and all the trees and vegetation sent flying.

Even Li Mei was forced to close her eyes as she felt something sharp prickling at her pupils.

Li Mei ignored the abyssal demons coming toward her and stared at Lin Huang's figure bathed in sword light, his robes flying wildly in the air.

The peak of mortal Sword Dao, Heart of Sword… Senior brother actually comprehended this realm while still at the Qi Refining Realm…

The shock she felt today was indescribable.

A cultivator only began to touch the third step of the mortal Dao at the very least at the Nascent Souls Realm, and yet the young man in front of her did the impossible.
