Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Son's of destiny

After thinking about the situation for several moments, Lian Wuchen finally asked another question.

"But aren't these Sons of Destiny supposed to be ridiculously powerful and practically impossible to kill?"

"Moreover, from the novels I read, they were basically like immortal cockroaches that constantly escaped the villains' grasp."

"They would survive impossible situations, disappear for a while, and eventually return even stronger than before."

"If that is really how Sons of Destiny work in this world, then how exactly am I supposed to hunt them down?"

The mechanical voice of the system immediately answered his concerns without displaying any hesitation.

[Ding! That is precisely why this system exists to assist you throughout your journey.]

[Ding! The system will provide Plunder Points according to the villainous actions you perform against Sons of Destiny.]

[Ding! These Plunder Points can then be exchanged for various rewards and can also be used to increase your cultivation.]

Lian Wuchen silently absorbed all the information before continuing with another important question.

'Alright, I understand the general idea, but what exactly is my current cultivation level?'

Having spent countless nights reading cultivation novels in his previous life, Lian Wuchen was already familiar with the general concept of cultivation.

However, he still knew practically nothing about the specific cultivation system that existed within this unfamiliar world.

[Ding! Host, would you like the system to transfer the previous owner's memories into your mind?]

[Ding! Through those memories, Host will be able to understand this world's cultivation system and various important information.]

Lian Wuchen immediately nodded after hearing the system's suggestion.

'Do it.'

[Ding! Beginning the transfer of a portion of the previous owner's memories into Host's consciousness.]

The moment those words appeared, Lian Wuchen's eyes suddenly widened as an enormous wave of memories crashed into his mind.

Countless unfamiliar images began flooding through his consciousness with overwhelming speed.

He saw a twenty-year-old young man who spent almost every waking moment cultivating.

That young man seemed to believe that cultivation was the only thing worth pursuing throughout his entire life.

Although this endless training had eventually made him extraordinarily powerful, cultivation was never actually what the young man truly desired.

Deep within his heart, he wanted nothing more than to become an ordinary person who could live freely without carrying enormous responsibilities.

He had always envied commoners who could spend their days peacefully without worrying about clan politics, cultivation resources, or the expectations of their elders.

Because of this desire, the young man had always been extremely close to his sworn younger brother, Lian Canming.

Since childhood, Canming had constantly dragged him away from cultivation and insisted that they spend time playing together.

Although the young man would always pretend to be irritated whenever Canming disturbed his cultivation, his heart was secretly filled with happiness.

Those seemingly ordinary moments had become some of his most precious memories throughout his otherwise exhausting life.

That young man was none other than the original owner of this body, Lian Wuchen.

He was the heir of the ancient Lian Clan and possessed a status that countless people could only dream about.

Although everyone had already accepted that his chances of becoming emperor were extremely slim because of his age and numerous older siblings, he continued cultivating harder than anyone else.

This was a world where powerful cultivators stood above ordinary people and possessed authority that could not easily be challenged.

However, even within such a world, raw talent was not the only factor determining someone's ultimate strength.

As one's cultivation increased, their lifespan would also increase considerably beyond that of ordinary mortals.

For powerful cultivators, living for several hundred years was completely normal within this world.

For the strongest existences, living for thousands of years was not considered an impossible achievement either.

Because of this, experience and age often played a much greater role than ordinary people could imagine.

However, the original Lian Wuchen possessed talent that could only be described as absurd.

There was another piece of information within those memories that immediately attracted the transmigrated Wuchen's attention.

That information concerned something known as a Bloom.

Every person within this world was born with a special flower-like mark known as a Bloom upon their back.

These mysterious Blooms served as vessels for the Soul Spirits that people were naturally born with.

The number of petals belonging to a Bloom determined the class of the cultivation Soul Spirit it contained.

Meanwhile, the physical size of the Bloom determined the overall stage of the Soul Spirit housed within it.

Every Soul Spirit was divided into ten major classes, with each class being further divided into three distinct substages.

Those substages were known as the Lower Stage, Middle Stage, and Upper Stage.

In rare circumstances, certain people could even be born with multiple Blooms simultaneously.

Such individuals possessed multiple Soul Spirits, granting them abilities far beyond those available to ordinary cultivators.

The reason for Lian Wuchen's extraordinary talent was precisely because he had been born with three separate Blooms.

He did not possess merely one Bloom or even two Blooms, but an incredibly rare triple Bloom.

This was also the primary reason why Lian Wuchen almost never wasted his time throughout his childhood.

He had always believed that possessing such extraordinary talent came with an equally extraordinary responsibility.

As the heir of the Lian Clan, he felt responsible for making his clan stronger than it had ever been.

However, not everyone possessed such extraordinary advantages from birth.

If someone awakened a Soul Spirit of an extremely low level, advancing their cultivation would require significantly more time and effort.

Such cultivators would also need considerably greater quantities of resources before they could achieve the same results as talented individuals.

On the other hand, someone possessing a high-level Soul Spirit could advance their cultivation considerably faster.

They would require less effort, less time, and fewer resources compared with ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, anyone born with an exceptionally low-level Soul Spirit could eventually be treated as a cripple by the stronger individuals surrounding them.

Such people would often spend their entire lives suffering humiliation because their cultivation potential was considered practically worthless.

The memories then continued toward the recent events surrounding Lian Canming's death.

Images of the woman kneeling, Canming and himself appeared within Wuchen's mind before finally reaching the moment when his sworn brother was suddenly killed.

After that, the overwhelming torrent of memories finally came to an end.

[Ding! The remaining portion of the previous owner's memories can only be transferred after Host purchases the corresponding memory fragments.]

Lian Wuchen remained silent for several moments while processing everything he had just experienced.

After organizing his thoughts, he finally looked toward the system within his mind and asked another question.

'Tell me more about my three Blooms and my current cultivation level.'

"The memories you transferred were not enough to answer everything that I want to know right now."

[Ding! Host's currently accessible memories are the free memories provided by the system.]

[Ding! The remaining memories must be purchased using Plunder Points.]

[Ding! However, the system can directly answer Host's questions regarding cultivation and Soul Spirits.]

Lian Wuchen's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing the system's explanation.

He was not particularly pleased with the idea of paying for memories that originally belonged to the body he now occupied.

However, understanding his cultivation and abilities was clearly more important than complaining about the system's strange rules.

'Alright, then tell me everything quickly.'

[Ding! Host's current cultivation is at the Fifth Substage of the Golden Core Realm.]

[Ding! The Golden Core Realm is the Fourth Major Realm among the Nine Major Cultivation Realms.]

Lian Wuchen's expression immediately became slightly more serious after hearing that information.

So he was already a cultivator standing within the fourth major realm despite being only twenty years old.

Considering the memories he had just witnessed, his previous owner truly possessed terrifying cultivation talent.

Lian Wuchen quickly returned his attention toward the system before asking about his Blooms.

'What about my three Blooms and their respective Soul Spirits?'
