I’ll Take That Opportunity Chapter 40 - Unified Three Purities

Staring at the three ugly faces before her, Tang Xue was overwhelmed by despair.

Having lived a sheltered life in the Heavenly Sword Sect, pampered by outer disciples and shielded from danger, she had never faced such a terrifying moment.

Now, at her most vulnerable, even the senior disciple brother who once cared for her the most had abandoned her without hesitation, fleeing and leaving her behind.

“Hehehe… little girl, why don’t you just submit?” The black-robed man’s voice was lewd as his hand reached toward her body.

“Let go of me! Let go!”

In desperation, Tang Xue unleashed her 7th layer Qi Refinement cultivation base. But before she could act, another black-robed man seized her arm, forcibly suppressing her rising momentum.

“Merely 7th layer Qi Refinement cultivator base, and you still dare to resist? How naive.”

“Seven Kill Fist!”

Suddenly, the man clutching her arm froze. He looked down in disbelief at the fist buried in his chest.

“H-How... how is this possible...?”

He turned his head slowly before his body collapsed, lifeless. Ye Lin stood behind him, his arm still extended.

Ye Lin’s fist had pierced the man’s chest clean through.

“Who—?”

The remaining two black-robed men spun around.

“Who are you? We’ve no quarrel with you.” One said warily, backing away.

Ye Lin didn’t answer.

“Seven Kill Fist.”

He struck again without hesitation. While saving Tang Xue was one reason, the other was far simpler—they were deviant cultivators.

In this world, true cultivators held zero tolerance for deviant cultivators. Once human, deviant cultivators had forsaken their humanity, aligning with deviant devils and killing their own kind in pursuit of longevity. They were deemed traitors, deserving only death.

“Attack!”

The two men charged at Ye Lin, surging forward with powerful spirit qi.

But it was over in a flash.

Both froze mid-charge, eyes widening in disbelief as gaping holes appeared in their chests.

“9th… 9th layer Qi Refinement…?”

One let out a final cry of despair before they both dropped lifelessly to the ground.

“At my current level, I’m practically invincible within the Qi Refinement realm.” Ye Lin thought, surveying the bodies. “Three at the 8th layer… they didn’t last a single move.”

He shook the blood off his hand, knelt beside one corpse, and wiped the rest clean.

Tang Xue stared, eyes wide with shock, “Y-You? Weren’t you just an ordinary mortal?”

She was in disbelief. This man, who had claimed to be just a mortal, had slain three 8th layer Qi Refinement top-tier experts as if it were nothing.

“I only came to thank you for paying my bill.” Ye Lin said casually. He glanced up at a translucent panel floating before him, then got up and walked away.

[Name: Tang Xue]

[Cultivation base: 7th layer Qi Refinement]

[Fate grade: green]

[Fate trait: Continuous Good Luck, Super Accurate Intuition]

[Fate prediction: following this event, you will return safely to the Heavenly Sword Sect. After a life of cultivation, you will reach late-stage Foundation Establishment. But with your lifespan exhausted, you will die in quiet despair.]

[Upcoming opportunity: at the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Holy Sword Peak, you will find a mid-grade basic-tier sword that will significantly increase your combat power.]

[Continuous Good Luck: you are naturally blessed with good fortune. Those who remain close to you are subtly influenced, sharing in your good luck.]

[Super Accurate Intuition: your intuition is exceptionally sharp, often revealing the truth behind hidden motives and unseen events.]

Ye Lin glanced at Tang Xue’s opportunity and shook his head. He had no interest in a mid-grade basic-tier sword anymore, and the Heavenly Sword Sect was out of reach.

“Hey, what’s your name?” Tang Xue called after him.

“Ye Lin of the Azure Cloud Sect.” He replied casually, then quickened his pace. He was eager to study the Unified Three Purities.

“Ye Lin of the Azure Cloud Sect…” Tang Xue murmured, watching his figure fade into the distance.

After a day’s journey, Ye Lin finally reached his residence. He opened the left-side door and glanced around.

“Good, no one’s been here.” He muttered, spotting a pebble he had deliberately placed by the right-side door. If anyone opened it, it would’ve been disturbed.

Entering the courtyard, Ye Lin dug up the phoenix egg. Its breath of life had grown stronger over the past two days. He placed the Boreal Wind Fruit atop it, and the spirit fruit dissolved into glowing wisps that merged with the egg.

The phoenix egg gently rubbed against his palm.

“Its breath of life is growing, but it’s still not ready to hatch.” Gazing at the phoenix egg before him, Ye Lin murmured, then buried it in the earth.

There was no other choice. For now, this was all he could do. The little phoenix would have to endure.

Returning to his room, he pulled out the worn vase from his Interspatial Ring and smashed it. There was a rhomboid crystal at the bottom. The moment he touched it, it turned into a beam of light that shot into his forehead.

“Damn it…” Before he could react, Ye Lin collapsed onto the bed, unconscious.

Three days passed in an instant.

On this day, Ye Lin opened his eyes, dazed. He had woken from a dream, a dream that seemed to last forever.

“Unified Three Purities…” He sat up and whispered, eyes gleaming with excitement.

From the dream, he had learned the secrets of the Unified Three Purities martial technique.

It had three layers. The first allowed the creation of an external incarnation. The second and third layers each added another. Each incarnation possessed 80% of the main body’s power.

In other words, once the technique was mastered, you could manifest three external incarnations, each possessing 80% of your own power.

But there was a flaw. If an external incarnation was destroyed, it could never be replaced. Even after mastering the third layer, a lost external incarnation would never return.

Still, despite this flaw, Ye Lin could only describe the technique as insanely powerful.

“With my current cultivation base, I can’t practice this martial technique yet. I need to reach the Gold Core realm first… a bit of a shame.” Ye Lin murmured. At the Qi Refinement realm, he wasn’t even qualified to begin cultivating it.

“But once I master it, I’ll be unmatched among those in the same realm.”

Ye Lin wasn’t discouraged. He had already obtained the technique—sooner or later, he would cultivate it. There was no rush.

“Just as well. I haven’t even started cultivating Phantom Vanishing, the technique I found in the secret realm. I’ll study that first.”

With that, Ye Lin retrieved Phantom Vanishing from his Interspatial Ring and began reading.

His Transcendental Perception fate trait was abnormal. After reading the manual once, he had already memorized and understood it completely.

“Phantom Vanishing has three layers. The first lets me move at five times my normal speed. The second, eight times. The third, ten times. It’s practically a life-saving technique.

“Even better, once mastered, it can disrupt an enemy’s spiritual soul, flooding their vision with afterimages, making you appear a phantom.” He muttered.

It was more accurate to call it a movement technique than an illusion art. In the future, even if he faced an opponent he couldn’t defeat, he’d still be able to escape.

“Time to begin.”

With that, Ye Lin closed his eyes and began cultivating Phantom Vanishing.
