Chapter 517: Side story — The Robber 2 (Pre-order for "The Mayfly Chronicles")

"The Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique...is this a cultivation method?"
Si Tianming curiously examined the cultivation method that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
The name alone sounded extraordinary!
Could this be his destiny, Si Tianming's destiny?
"This...this...what level of cultivation method is this?"
Si Tianming was utterly shocked after understanding the contents of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique.
This cultivation method was simply beyond his comprehension.
Cultivating this technique actually allowed him to borrow cultivation from the heavens.
For example, he was currently at the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, and it would still take him some time to break through to the Profound Realm.
Without other special opportunities, Si Tianming wasn't confident he could break through to the Profound Realm before the Ten Clans Tribes Grand Competition began.
However, after cultivating the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique, he could completely borrow cultivation from the heavens in advance. He didn't need to cultivate diligently or take any elixirs; he could break through to the Profound Realm right now!
Even... the higher the level of his cultivation in the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique, the more cultivation he could borrow from the heavens in advance.
Perhaps he could even instantly become a saint!
Si Tianming's eyes burned with fervor. With this technique, if he wasn't a genius, who was?
"However... if I choose to borrow cultivation in advance, I must repay it within a short period of time. If I can't repay it, I'll need to use a part of my body to pay off the debt."
The dangers of this technique were also laid bare before Si Tianming, thoughtfully highlighted.
This made Si Tianming feel that the person who created this technique must be a kind person.
"Why not give it a try?" Although this technique also had drawbacks, Si Tianming urgently needed to break through to the Profound Realm to prove himself. He gritted his teeth and decided to cultivate the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique.
A moment later, a powerful current of air blew Si Tianming's clothes.
He broke through!
Breaking through from the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm to the Profound Realm was surprisingly easy!
This delighted Si Tianming.
“I’m borrowing cultivation points to break through to the Profound Realm ahead of schedule.”
“Therefore, I must repay thirty cultivation points within a year. If I can’t repay those thirty points, the collateral I’m using will disappear.”
“My collateral is…”
Si Tianming looked down.
Suddenly, his legs went weak.
Cultivation—he had to cultivate immediately to repay his debt!
For his brothers!
......
Su Chen observed Si Tianming’s transformation.
He wasn’t surprised that Si Tianming chose to cultivate the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique.
He hadn’t given this technique to Si Tianming out of kindness.
Feeling the tiny, insignificant power disappearing from his body, Su Chen smiled slightly.
The Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique is divided into two parts: the Heaven Chapter and the All Beings Chapter.
He himself was Heaven. Si Tianming’s cultivation of the All Beings Chapter, borrowing cultivation points from Heaven, was borrowing his power.
Since it's a loan, it must be repaid, and interest must be accrued.
This final force must be returned, principal and interest!
If it's not repaid, a portion of the loan's 'fruit' will disappear. Once the 'fruit' is exhausted, the borrower will completely vanish from this world, leaving no trace in any time or space. Everything they possess will then belong to Su Chen, becoming part of his causal path.
During this period, Su Chen wouldn't force anyone. He believed in equal exchange in everything and wouldn't be overly concerned with the karma of others.
Su Chen turned and left, no longer paying attention to Si Tianming. A chosen one of this level was no longer worthy of his attention; he was merely a qualified guinea pig.
In the tribe's main hall, a rather dashing middle-aged man looked at Su Chen with satisfaction.
This middle-aged man was Su Chen's father in this life, the patriarch of the Si clan.
"Good...good...good indeed!"
"Chen'er, you went to the Divine Valley. Your cultivation level now has probably surpassed mine."
Si Changgeng's piercing gaze fell on Su Chen. Su Chen remained calm, simply nodding slightly.
The Divine Valley that Si Changgeng spoke of was the home of a fallen divine clan. Si Changgeng had paid a huge price to send him to cultivate there for a period of time.
The divine race possesses a complete lineage, and even a fallen divine race is far superior to the human tribes in the Great Wilderness Mountains.
Si Changgeng then looked lost in thought: "Chen'er, since your cultivation has surpassed mine..."
"Now there's something I must tell you!"
Si Changgeng's expression was serious.
"Father wants to tell me about Mother?" Su Chen asked.
Si Changgeng nodded: "Your mother isn't actually dead!"
"I know," Su Chen replied: "Mother isn't dead. She's actually a holy maiden of the divine race, currently imprisoned within the clan."
Si Changgeng was stunned, stammering: "Does Chen'er already know?"
Su Chen nodded: "Mother placed a seal on me, explained everything, and left me a cultivation technique."
"That...that seal isn't...requires becoming a saint to break?" Si Changgeng's mouth dropped open, staring at Su Chen in disbelief.
"That's right, I've already become a saint," Su Chen readily admitted.
These words left Si Changgeng dizzy. He suddenly recalled the commotion that had recently echoed from the depths of the mountains, implying the birth of a new Desolate Saint.
Since the Heavenly Tribulation hadn't yet struck, no one knew whether the Desolate Saint had actually been born.
The Desolate Saint had indeed appeared.
Not only had the fourth Desolate Saint of the Desolate Ancient Mountains appeared, but he was also standing before him—and not just before him, but his son!
It's no wonder Si Changgeng was flustered; this was beyond his comprehension.
"Father, rest assured, I will soon travel to the Coffin God Clan to bring back Mother."
Now that he was also a person of great destiny, doing what a chosen one should do was quite interesting.
Therefore, Su Chen promised Si Changgeng.
For the next period of time, Su Chen neither cultivated nor left.
If he continued cultivating at his current level, he would drain the entire spiritual energy of the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range.
In this world, spiritual energy is limited, and each region has powerful races allocating it. Su Chen's breakthrough to the Saint King Realm had already drained a third of the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range's spiritual energy.
However, below the Emperor Realm, cultivation level wasn't important to him; he was more concerned with the experiment of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique.
Time flew by, and half a year quickly passed.
Si Tianming did not disappoint Su Chen.
He tasted success, and after breaking through to the Profound Realm, he became quite the figurehead within the clan.
After days and nights of cultivation, he had already repaid twenty cultivation points, leaving ten.
His performance in the competition among the young prodigies of the ten clans was also outstanding, breaking into the top twenty.
“Brother Tianming, I like strong men. If you could make it into the top ten of the competition, Father would definitely not stop us from being together anymore,”
Si Tianming’s beloved Xiao Qing suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with expectation.
Looking at Xiao Qing’s expectant eyes, Si Tianming gritted his teeth and said, “Xiao Qing, don’t worry, I will definitely make it into the top ten, become a genius admired by all, worthy of you!”
He remembered that he seemed to still have a cultivation credit limit to repay.
To satisfy his beloved Xiao Qing, he decided to take out another loan.
Anyway, as long as he worked hard, he could always repay the loaned cultivation credit.
