I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 136 - 100 Great Fortune Comes Knocking (Please Subscribe)
The next afternoon, Chen Yi returned to Sword Edge Mountain.
Taking out the gifts for Ning Xue and the others from his Sumeru Bag, he presented them one by one.
"Thank you, Junior Brother."
Ning Xue gazed at the hairpin in her hand, her mind involuntarily recalling the time she had drunk too much, her cheeks quietly blooming with two red clouds.
In truth, having stayed on Sword Edge Mountain for so long, this was the first time she had received a gift from a fellow sect member.
This feeling was novel and, while happy, she couldn’t help but feel a bit shy.
If it wasn’t for Ning Xue being clear about the relationship between Chen Yi and Lin Xueru, and that she had seen the same gifts being given to the other junior sisters, she might have read more into it.
"Thanks, Senior Brother."
Hua Youxiang, on the other hand, didn’t overthink it, promptly placing the hairpin on her head. She even admired how it looked with Li Mingyue, both exclaiming how pretty it was.
The hairpins of the three were different in style but all made from black wood, matching the black Daoist robes they wore.

The gifts that the senior brothers received were very practical, ranging from books, papers and brushes, to Go games and more.
All were carefully selected by Chen Yi based on their personal preferences.
He looked at everyone’s happy faces and somewhat spoil-sportingly asked: "With just a few days left before the sect’s minor examination, how are you all preparing?"
"Brother Chen..."
Li Mingyue was the first to grimace, muttering despondently, "I have no hope of making it into the top ten within the sect, but Senior Sister Hua might stand a chance."
"Yeah," said Lu Youxiang, clad in purple finery and as thin as a monkey, also looking distraught, "I fear even Master is displeased with us."
The rest of the junior brothers and sisters who were confirmed to participate in the sect’s minor examination also began to voice their difficulties.
"It’s too hard."
"For this sect’s minor examination, aside from Brother Chen, only Senior Sister Hua has the hope to secure a spot among those from Sword Edge Mountain."
After listening, Chen Yi looked towards Hua Youxiang and raised an eyebrow: "Junior Sister’s Sword Dao has already reached great mastery?"
Hua Youxiang nodded happily, shaking her head with a trace of arrogance, "It’s all thanks to Senior Brother’s good teachings."
Before Chen Yi could say anything, he noticed Li Qingzhou approaching from afar and asked on a whim:
"What about Master?"
"Master? Master also taught some things a couple of days ago, but I don’t feel it was as good as Senior Brother’s teaching."
Hua Youxiang counted on her fingers, "The things Master taught were too profound; I couldn’t understand much of it."
"And the same for those sword techniques; after watching them several times and even trying them out myself, I didn’t dare to ask Master for guidance."
"And..."
Chen Yi inwardly chuckled, noticing that Li Qingzhou’s steps had slowed and his face visibly darkened.
"What else?"
"Also, Master isn’t as handsome and gentle as Senior Brother!" Hua Youxiang blurted out, oblivious.
Chen Yi thought it was troublesome and just as he was about to leave this controversial place, he heard Li Qingzhou speak up:
"Chen Yi, come, let your master see your current Sword Dao."
"..."
Chen Yi glanced at Hua Youxiang who had quietly stuck out her tongue and felt helpless.
Indeed, this was like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
Helpless.
Chen Yi glanced at the dark-faced Li Qingzhou and had no choice but to follow him to the dilapidated Daoist temple on the back mountain.
To call it a sparring session would be a stretch; it was more like Li Qingzhou unilaterally beating him up.
The result was not much different from their previous sparring, no matter what swordsmanship he used, it was easily dissolved by his mighty master.
Even when he exerted his full strength and utilized the Slaughter Sword Dao of the Tongyou Realm, neither Sword Intent nor Sword Qi could come within three feet of Li Qingzhou.
From this, Chen Yi understood clearly that his master’s Sword Dao remained above his own.
Was it the Divine Power Realm, or even higher?
He had no way of knowing.
Chen Yi only knew that Li Qingzhou’s cultivation in the Heavenly Human Realm far exceeded his by several major realms.
"With your Sword Dao reaching this level, there’s nothing more I can teach you."
Li Qingzhou sheathed the Heavenly Blade and looked at Chen Yi with an increasingly emotional gaze.
His words were not a compliment, yet they were more than a compliment.
Although Li Qingzhou knew he had picked up a bargain after seeing the phenomenon of Chen Yi’s Sword Dao breakthrough that night, after completely witnessing Chen Yi’s swordsmanship, Sword Qi, and Sword Intent today, he even wondered if it was the ancestors blessing Sword Edge Mountain.
Otherwise, how could he, Li Qingzhou, deserve such a monstrously talented disciple in Sword Dao?
Exceptional in swordsmanship, seemingly knowledgeable in all sorts of sword techniques, and capable of creating such fierce and lethal techniques from Sword One to Sword Fifteen.
The purity of Sword Intent was so pure that it seemed as if Chen Yi’s Slaughter Intent was as pure as if he had slain countless millions.
And there was no need to mention the Sword Qi.
Whether it was the application of Sword Qi or its integration with the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, he had reached the current pinnacle.
If it weren’t for Chen Yi’s natural limitations in Cultivation Techniques, Li Qingzhou would truly suspect him to be some old freak who perished on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain.
"Recently, you mentioned you needed a few items for cultivation, and after much consideration, apart from the ’Sword Dao Authentic Understanding’, I can only give you these five things."
Saying so, Li Qingzhou opened his hand and placed five uniquely shaped items in front of Chen Yi.
"Five items? All for me?"
Chen Yi examined each of the five items, feeling that they weren’t Magic Artifacts or Elixirs or heritage secret manuals, but a vast number of Rebellion Points.
Five items. When he had made his request, he had thought in terms of a steady stream.
Just one or two items would have been sufficient.
"This first item is a Magic Artifact, forged by a master blacksmith at my request."
Li Qingzhou pointed at the gourd on the furthest left: "Inside it, there’s a ’Sword Nurturing’ Array. You can place the Spring Rain Sword within."
"Activate it with Sword Intent to excite Sword Qi, and over time, there’s a chance to imbue the Spring Rain Sword with a spirit."
"Thank you, Master."
Chen Yi quickly stowed the gourd-shaped Magic Artifact into the Sumeru Bag.
[At the age of forty-five, already a fifth-rank Core Formation Realm cultivator and one proficient in Sword Dao, you received a magic artifact from a Heavenly Human Realm supernatural being.]
[Great fortune is upon you, Rebellion Point+12.]
Chen Yi was secretly amazed. As expected of Li Qingzhou, even a casually given magic artifact rewarded twelve Rebellion Points.
This also reflected the formidable power of the gourd-shaped magic artifact.
"Secondly, this is an elixir specifically refined for you by Master Sun, which can enhance your cultivation speed a bit."
[At the age of forty-five, already a fifth-rank Core Formation Realm cultivator and one proficient in Sword Dao, you received a Spiritual Origin Pill from a Heavenly Human Realm supernatural being.]
[Great fortune is upon you, Rebellion Point+8.]
Not bad, not bad. Eight points are quite good too.
"..."
"The final item is a protective magic artifact for self-defense, containing three strands of Sword Intent from your Master. Remember to use it with caution."
[At the age of forty-five, already a fifth-rank Core Formation Realm cultivator and one proficient in Sword Dao, you received a Protective Magic Artifact from a Heavenly Human Realm supernatural being.]
[Great fortune is upon you, Rebellion Point+20.]
[Name: Chen Yi]
[Age: 45]
[Cultivation: Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm (Middle Stage)]
[Talent: Late Bloomer—The older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed.]
[Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique: Great Success—Dantian shines like the bright moon, Profound Gang roars like thunder.]
[Sword Dao: Proficient—The Heart Sword is clear, controlling the sword with the heart, until Heart Sword becomes one, then can the seed of divine power be nurtured.]
[Rebellion Points: 100/100]
[Rebellion Points are full. Before completing the mission, ’great fortune’ will be used to enhance cultivation.]
[Great fortune is upon you, your cultivation can be advanced to Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm Lower Stage. (Pending claim)]
"The Rebellion Points are maxed out!"
In fact, as soon as he took the fourth item from Li Qingzhou, Chen Yi saw that the panel showed 98 Rebellion Points.
With the last magic artifact, not only did his Rebellion Points increase to a hundred, but the excess was also converted into his cultivation.
"Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm Lower Stage, it saves me nearly three years of hard cultivation."
Deeply moved, Chen Yi did not forget to bow respectfully to Li Qingzhou, "Thank you for the gifts, Master. Your disciple will surely live up to your expectations."
"Don’t feel pressured." Li Qingzhou said with a smile:
"Whether it’s you or your senior brothers and sisters, the only requirement I have for you all is one."
"Do not use the way of the sword for evil, and being true to yourself is enough."
Chen Yi nodded, then carried the last magic artifact with him and bowed once again.
"Thank you, Master."
Li Qingzhou smiled and gestured for him to sit down, then continued, "Now that we’ve discussed official matters, there’s another thing I want to tell you about."
Chen Yi sat opposite him, without speaking.
Li Qing Zhou’s smile faded slightly and he stated, "You must have heard about the secrets behind the sect’s recent minor examination."
"Actually, the secrets involved are far beyond your imagination."
Chen Yi’s expression flickered—beyond imagination?
Could it involve the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield?
To date, the secrets he had come across, other than that place, all seemed quite ordinary.
Such as Cultivation Techniques, techniques, etc., the only thing that wasn’t ordinary was the Treasure Map he had previously obtained from Jiang Yunni.
That map recorded areas within the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield.
At the same time, it included restrictions on age and cultivation.
"Previously, Senior Sister Zhan told you about the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, so I won’t elaborate further."
"What I need to tell you is that this sect’s minor examination is related to that place."
"Not just the minor examination, but later on the Wei Dynasty and even the entire Tianyuan Continent will have a series of actions due to that secret."
"It can be confirmed that the Wei Dynasty will hold a gathering involving all sects and the Martial World after a year."
"That gathering is only for the younger generation under the age of 20, with the goal of selecting the top ten outstanding individuals."
Here, Li Qing Zhou laughed.
"I have confidence in you, with your strength, no matter what the subsequent rules are, I believe they won’t be a problem for you."
The top ten of the younger generation?
Chen Yi’s eyes shimmered as he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Will the alchemy and array cultivator lineages also participate?"
"Correct." Li Qing Zhou said, "That secret involves not just Martial Arts, and to avoid accidents, the gathering from the Wei Dynasty will also involve alchemy and array cultivators."
"Of course, you don’t need to worry about these."
Chen Yi nodded, thinking that this was the right way.
Otherwise, a gathering that only compared Martial Arts would naturally disadvantage alchemy and array lineages.
The array cultivators were still okay; after all, once an array was set up, it could limit many martial artists.
However, alchemy cultivators were much weaker in terms of techniques. If they really had to fight, the outcome would most likely be a greater loss.
"I’m telling you all this so you can prepare in advance."
"Get ready for the upcoming Wei Dynasty gathering and the future events on the Tianyuan Continent."
"I’ve taken note, Master."
After saying all this, Li Qingzhou didn’t say much else and waved his hand, signifying Chen Yi could leave.
Chen Yi bowed respectfully and exited the Daoist temple.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about the upcoming gathering, he wasn’t too concerned.
With his current strength, he was confident he could handle any challenges from the younger generation.
And besides, there was still...
Chen Yi snapped to attention and hurriedly opened the panel to check.
