All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 602: Chapter 203: The Seventh Generation Chip

In the Tianyuan Realm, wilderness dwellers and loose cultivators, residents of the Tianyuan Realm’s safe zones, and city dwellers represent four completely different classes. The first two hardly dare to dream of chips, as even their survival hinges on constant struggle, whereas the latter two are at least guaranteed survival albeit with their lives entwined in an arduous battle.

Of course, there are said to be the Cave Heaven People of the Tianyuan Realm, who are born with a life of ease, but that’s far too remote a concept.

At the very least, one would need a Purple Mansion True Man in the family, and not just any, but one with a genuine lineage and magic treasures, instead of a loose cultivator True Man who serendipitously stumbled upon an extraordinary chance and possesses only sheer personal strength, to join the ruling class and send their progeny to the Cave Heaven.

Even so, should a lineage fail to produce a cultivator capable of Foundation Establishment for three straight generations, they would still be displaced from the Cave Heaven.

At the moment, An Jing has leapt from being a wilderness dweller of the Tianyuan Realm directly to the class of city dwellers, just a step below the Cave Heaven People. Although there are further subdivisions within the city dwellers such as upper and lower city districts and impoverished areas, not to mention divisions like gang flunkies, genuine poor, and unregistered residents within the impoverished areas, overall, his ascent is seen by others as a climb to the heavens and is cause for celebration.

Yet, in reality, An Jing is far from joyous. His discontent stems not only from his belief that these class divisions are Absolute rubbish but also because he now truly needs to install some firewalls and antivirus blocking software.

"It’s very chaotic inside the city."

Principal He explains, and with this, An Jing understands what kind of chaos he’s referring to. It’s not just the gang conflicts in the Lower City District but also the pervasive spam and advertisements on the Spiritual Network.

The old man had already prepared for this and had applied for an expensive, premium Spiritual Network security package for An Jing, all charged to the Third Middle School’s public account. Once the services were activated, all the information windows and red error messages in front of An Jing disappeared, which left him feeling somewhat regretful.

"What an excellent method for tempering the mind."

He inwardly addresses Subdue Evil: "These nuisances are ideal for cultivating the Tranquil Sword Manual. I had been pondering how to rid myself of distractions and further refine my focus, but now with so many external demons, progress will be fast indeed."

"How incredible."

Subdue Evil also expresses amazement: "In the past, we considered how to simulate a Heavenly Demon to train cultivators, but ultimately abandoned the idea due to its dangerous and complex nature. Never did we imagine that later generations of the Human Clan would have perfected and developed such a concept—the merit involved is immeasurable."

"Wow." And An Jing too senses that the network security package Principal He applied for is attempting a deeper infiltration of his nerves and soul and spirit. This could indeed better protect his spirit from the influence of external evil demons, but what it truly is...

Is an even bigger thuggish evil demon.

"Man-made Heavenly Demon is, after all, a bit more decent in manner compared to a real Heavenly Demon."

A thought flickers in An Jing’s heart as he activates Taibai Luminous Godly Ban to suppress these disturbances. Meanwhile, in the material world, he is discussing enrollment matters with Principal He.

Since An Jing is a noble free auditor, he can go to school and attend any class of any grade at any time or opt to study on his own in the library. To enjoy this privilege, however, he must pass a test.

"The school isn’t controlled solely by me. Just because I think highly of you doesn’t mean everyone else does," explains Principal He, not concealing the truth and adding, "You still need to prove yourself, but don’t worry, there are only two exams: a written test and a practical combat test. The written test isn’t too difficult, but the combat test..."

"Certainly, there will be no problem with the combat test."

Nian Quan chimes in: "An Jing is even stronger than me; he’ll definitely pass with ease!"

Principal He glances at Nian Quan, certain there is no lie in his words. In fact, he shares the same opinion. Although An Jing appears to be only at the third level of Qi Refinement, his aura is completely different. Moreover, his Body Refinement realm is obviously higher than Qi Refinement, and combined with his Sword Intent, it’s normal for him to be stronger than Nian Quan.

However, Principal He still shakes his head: "It’s different. Nian Quan, your test is for grade evaluation. As a free auditor, An Jing’s mission is much more demanding. Like the path of the Tao, it involves real wilderness combat training, where he must eradicate Monsters/Demons or even Demon Men."

"Although An Jing was originally a wilderness person and is very familiar with the wilderness, this will not be an easy test."

"That won’t be difficult."

An Jing has never worried about combat; his real concern is the written test, pondering inwardly: "This is bad, my level of schooling might not be sufficient. I only know a bit about Artifact Refining, and my Formation Path knowledge is so-so. It’d be awkward if I pass the combat test but fail the written one."

No one else is worried about this. Even Huo Qing, who knows An Jing the best, believes that An Jing has a complete Martial Arts cultivation system at his disposal and doesn’t fear any mere high school exam.

"When will it start?" asks An Jing.

"Whenever you like," replies Principal He, showing great flexibility, "as long as it’s before the end of this year."

Today is July 8th, still early before the end of the year. An Jing nods, "Then I need to go back and report, thank you for your trouble, Principal."

"Home affairs come first."

Principal He drove An Jing and his group back to the spacious apartment in Nian Quan and then bid them farewell.

"This principal is a pretty good person, just that his Sword Intent has suffered too much erosion."

"Originally, he was quite a capable Swordsman, but after one loss, he couldn’t recover. It’s not that such a state is unacceptable; actually, most Swordsmen who stick to their own way and cause the death of their loved ones can’t recover easily. However, he has some more complicated issues that he hasn’t spoken about."

"I’ve noticed that too." An Jing squints his eyes, "His disappointment isn’t just in himself, there is something else... Based on my Innate Wisdom, I suspect he might be disappointed with some matters among the higher-ups."

"He has been left alone repeatedly, having only himself and his sword to guard the gate, which is abnormal."

While saying this, An Jing couldn’t provide psychological therapy for Principal He. The old man is astute and adaptable, generous in his actions – a fine principal indeed. His willingness to share his past failures with his students shows that he has largely stepped out of his shadows and has a very healthy mindset.

For now, it’s better to try out some even more important matters.

For instance, testing the difference between the "Seventh Generation Experimental Chip" and the Sixth Generation Chip he has acquired.

"I need to go into seclusion for a bit to get used to the chip."

He told this to Huo Qing and Nian Quan, both of whom were very understanding: "If there’s anything unclear, you can ask us!"

Huo Qing said confidently, "I consider myself somewhat of an expert in this area, don’t hesitate!"

Nian Quan also nodded, "People from the Wilderness usually feel dizzy for a few days when they first get the chip, but don’t worry, after the adaptation period, your thoughts will definitely become much clearer!"

An Jing entered the Seclusion Room and then sat down in meditation.

Having already mastered the refining method for the Sixth Generation Chip, An Jing quickly refined the chip obtained from Endless Heavens.

Two chips can’t coexist; An Jing had to forcibly shut down the Sixth Generation Chip to start using the Seventh Generation. This felt somewhat like swapping SIM cards, but was even more delicate. If it weren’t for An Jing’s Cultivation ’Heaven’s Virtue’, making his meridians and nerves extremely resilient, he wouldn’t have been able to undergo such continuous refinement.

Moreover, the Seventh Generation Chip links even more deeply. An Jing thought about it and, seeing no backdoors, allowed it to proceed with the deep linkage.

The same dizziness, the same pitch-black vision, and then sudden brightness—the Xuandu Group logo, distinct from the Luofu Group, appeared, followed by a blank interface.

The functionality of the Seventh Generation Chip, compared to the Sixth, was a bit more detailed, even the data was clearer. It could even determine An Jing’s Body Refinement state based on the flow frequency of Spiritual Fiend and muscular stress—under the same suppressed state, while the Sixth Generation Chip showed that An Jing was at Qi Refinement Third Layer, the Seventh detected Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, along with Qi Refinement Ninth Layer for Bodily Refinement.

"How impressive."

Seeing this data, An Jing couldn’t help but be a little surprised, "It’s almost as if it’s the real situation."

In addition, the Seventh Generation Chip could also simultaneously run three free Art of Magics on a constant basis. Compared to the Sixth Generation’s one free and one defensive Art of Magic, this was a tremendous improvement. Although it still consumes Spirit Qi, this essentially means the chip’s installer has three near-Divine Skill magics at their disposal, ready to be activated by thought, which gives a significant advantage in combat.

Furthermore, as An Jing’s eyes lit up with light, the chip could also automatically analyze the composition of various objects in sight.

For example, when An Jing looked casually at a table, its structure, components, and craftsmanship were all analyzed thoroughly, making it clear to him.

Additionally, he also felt that the Seventh Generation Chip could record the flow of Spirit Qi within his body, providing real-time reports on direction and fluidity—though it’s not as good as the Son of Heaven Method’s Inner Observation, this internal data could give even the most oblivious individuals some self-regulatory abilities.

"Divine Soul Chip, truly remarkable."

Having tested to this point, An Jing’s expression became solemn, "Although it seems unremarkable, in reality, it’s the foundation of order in this realm!"

This function, as a person from Da Chen, An Jing was all too familiar with.

If the Talisman Granting Heavenly Officials of Da Chen give those unable to cultivate the chance to do so and can forcibly increase the strength of the talisman recipients, making them vessels of power.

Then the chips of the Tianyuan Realm are another way to bestow ’those with extremely low talent’ the ability to wield enormous strength.
