Online Cultivator
The Unknowable Destiny

"The Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune is a very powerful treasure that can read one's wealth and destiny, and depending on the importance of their destiny, they are ranked. There were many geniuses in this world who had the ability to change or create history, but very few of them would be given a small destiny. Then we have the ultimate destiny, the geniuses who will affect heaven to some extent. Someone with a great destiny will appear once every ten thousand years." Senior Bai explained to him the function of the treasure he destroyed.

"As for the final rank— heavenly destiny... There have only been 13 people given such a fate since ancient times, and each of these individuals has so influenced the world that they are given their own Era."

"However, not many people know this, but there are actually other ranks besides the three I just described, and there is no name for such a destiny, either, hence why I call it the destiny of the unknown."

"The unknown fate is the only destiny that the Heavenly Fortune Divine Crystal cannot read or sometimes wrong as the heavenly destiny, he said, and in the case where the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune cannot read destiny, it will explode."

After a long explanation, Senior Bai gave Yusri a moment to digest the information before continuing, "Since ancient times... Since the first Cultivator learned to cultivate, there have only been two individuals other than yourself who have an unknown destiny, and I'd like to know what kind of person you are as a third person who has an unknown destiny, therefore why I brought you here."

"I see.. But what do you want to know about me? I've lived an insignificant life for most of my life, so I don't think you'll find anything interesting about me" Yusri told him.

"Your life experience is not important to me. What I want to know is your ambition— why you decided to become a Cultivator and what keeps you on the path of cultivation," Senior Bai told him.

"Ambisi me...?" Yusri raised his eyebrows before speaking in a calm voice, "To be honest, I don't have any ambitions, and I just want to enjoy this beautiful world with my little sister and hopefully make friends."

"You have no ambition? It was quite unbelievable, because every Cultivator had a dream."

Despite expressing his doubts, Senior Bai was unable to sense any lies from Yusri's clear gaze.

"Although I may not have any ambitions, I do have dreams. However, this dream is not something that can be achieved just by working hard for it." Yusri said with a bitter smile on his face.

"Huh? Do you mind clarifying?" Senior Bai asked him with his tickling interest. "In the world of cultivation, there are hardly any dreams that cannot be achieved through hard work."

"What about people who are born without legs and dream of walking? What about the person the blind man dreamed of seeing again?" Yusri asked him. "Do you think such a dream can be achieved?"

"Haha..." Senior Bai suddenly laughed out loud before speaking, "And here I wonder what you are going to say. What if a person was born without legs? They could easily cultivate some with the help of treasures! The same goes for the blind! I know of over a dozen medicines and treasures that can cure blindness!"

Yusri was speechless. They could do that in the cultivation world? However, even if that was the case, this was just a game, and once he came out, this so-called cultivation world would cease to exist.

"After all, what about being a Cultivator? What drives you to walk the path of cultivation?" Senior Bai then asked him.

"Well, it happened by chance," Yusri spoke before briefly recalling how he became a Cultivator.

"Chance? It's bullshit! You are someone with an unknown destiny! Everything that happens to you or will happen to you in the future - everyone you have met or will meet in the future, it has been predetermined by destiny even before you were born!" Senior Bai said before continuing, "Then why do you continue cultivating? If you didn't choose this path, why don't you stop?"

"Because I've learned from a friend that power means everything in this world, and without power, I can lose everything that matters to me, therefore why do I continue to cultivate and continue to grow stronger, because I want to explore this world with those I care about without losing them."

"Empowering to protect those who are important to you, huh? Despite hearing similar words from Cultivators so many times throughout my life, I can only respect one's desire to protect their loved ones. And your friend right— the cultivation world is an unforgiving world that preys on the weak and rewards the strong. If you want to explore this world, you must have enough power." Senior Bai spoke as he deeply stroked his long white beard.

After a moment of silence, Senior Bai said, "I have a strong understanding of your character now, but people are always able to change, and I can only hope that you don't change too much."

"By the way, if you don't mind me asking, do you have a unique Physique? I can feel a deep feeling from your body, but I've never felt such a feeling before." Senior Bai suddenly asked.

"Our Physicals? I have something called the Heaven Refining Physique," he casually replied.

"Hea— Physical Heaven Refining?!?!?!?"

Senior Bai suddenly shouted loudly as he stood up with a surprised expression on his face.

"Eh?" Yusri looked at Senior Bai with wide eyes, as he did not expect such an intense reaction.

After a long silence, Senior Bai cleared his throat before sitting back down.

"so... So you're the one he met..."

"What do you mean, Senior Bai?" Yusri asked with his head tilted in confusion.

"No-No, I'm just talking to myself," Senior Bai quickly said with an awkward smile on his face.

"After all, I don't dare to keep you in this place anymore, little friend. If fate allows, we will meet again." Almost as if he was in a hurry, Senior Bai waved his sleeve, enveloping Yusri with his spiritual energy before sending Yusri flying towards Heaven.

After sending Yusri back to the portal, Senior Bai looked at the sky with a dazed expression on his face.

"So his name is Yusri, yeah... To think I would meet a genius with a Divine Physique that women encountered in this place... As expected of someone with an unknown destiny."

"I'll give him some techniques and some treasures to help his journey, but unfortunately..."

After standing in the same place for an unknown amount of time, Senior Bai sighed in an annoyed tone, "I might have to tell him about our meeting or he'll think I tried to steal it from him or something..."

"Welcome back, Yusri," Zhu Yuying greeted him after he returned to the skill store. "How was your meeting with my Lord?"

"I don't know how I should describe it" he said with a strange smile on his face. "Everything happened so fast..."

"Then what are you two talking about?" he then asked.

"He asked me about my dream and why I decided to become a Cultivator..."

"That's it?" Zhu Yuying looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Yes," he said.

Zhu Yuying was silent. Why did his Master call him for something as casual as that? He can't understand it.

"After all, since you've already spoken to my Master, I'll leave you alone to search for skills now. Ah, you are allowed to buy techniques from any floor," he said moments later.

"I understand. Since I'm already here and it doesn't seem like much of a technique here, I'll take a look around this floor first before I reunite with the others."

Zhu Yuying nodded and left him alone on the third floor shortly afterwards.

Yusri started looking around the third floor, but with only 2 bookshelves and a dozen techniques, it didn't take long for Yusri to see everything on the third floor.

And out of the dozen techniques on the third floor, there was only one technique he could learn, since it was related to swords.

"The Demon Sealing Strike... What a powerful sounding technique," Yusri muttered the name of his technique with a feeling of awe.

He then opened his technique and started to look at it.

A few minutes after Yusri started reading his technique, he involuntarily entered into a trance, which allowed him to enjoy the technique as if he was in his own world.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, a notification appeared before him.

"Oh no... I learned the technique without paying for it anymore..." Yusri patted his own face afterwards.

"And it's even a Heaven rank technique... I hope I can afford it with the rest of my gold, or I have to borrow the difference from Melia.." she sighed.

Meanwhile, above the sky, another announcement appeared.
