Amidst the howling cold wind, a drop of sweat finally slid down the white-clothed immortal's peerlessly beautiful cold face.

"Why would the main base of the Full Moon Sect be behind Wuji Sect??!"

For a moment, Yuyan was truly flustered.

Because she had run a long way from Wuji Sect to Northern Snow Village. Even charging at full speed in a straight line, just the one-way trip had taken at least half an hour!

Now, Yuyan had made another blunder. Not only had she made a wasted trip, but the destination happened to be right behind Wuji Sect. At this critical moment, it would take Yuyan at least another half an hour to run back!

"Damn it...!"

Time was of the essence, so Yuyan couldn't even think about the logic behind it.

She charged at full speed towards Wuji Sect, leaving a trail of morning star arc in the air at an unprecedented gliding speed--

"Yino, you better hold on for me!"

"After making me run back and forth, if anything happens to you in the end, I'll --"

At the end, Yuyan suddenly fell silent.

Rather than anger, the image of the boy's smiling face appeared more in her mind, her beautiful eyes unable to hide worry and helplessness.

Ever since learning to ride a flying sword at the age of seven, Yuyan had been flying around the world to play...

Now, Yuyan was already flying fast enough. Crossing the Great Dragon Dynasty only took a few hours.

She had grown up and gradually tired of enjoying the pleasure of speed.

But in these ten years of cultivating, the only thing Yuyan had never tired of was flying too slowly.

Tonight was the first time Yuyan doubted herself.

How she hated herself for not being smarter, for not being able to fly faster... Maybe then, she wouldn't have repeatedly missed the boy who was in the midst of a crisis to gain her approval!

"Yino..."

"Hold on... your senior sister will be there soon."

…

Secret Realm behind Wuji Peak.

Yino stood on the Life Sacrificial Altar and secretly crushed a white jade pendant, then casually tossed the fragments into the pile of hungry blood-colored vines.

Afterwards, Yino estimated the little remaining time. Without any extra nonsense, he started chanting the nursery rhyme again the moment the Mother Goddess finished digesting Chen Jianxin.

According to the Full Moon Sect's gameplay storyline, after devouring a high-level sacrifice, the Mother Goddess of Life would absorb most of the life force, while the special talents or abilities of the original sacrifice would be separated by the Mother Goddess and bestowed as a blessing to Her devout believers.

This was also the essence of Gu Wanglan's plan to covet Chen Jianxin's innate holy body of the Sword Dao.

Now that Yino had won the Mother Goddess's favor with a more beautiful nursery rhyme chant, after Chen Jianxin's life was devoured by the Mother Goddess, his innate holy Sword Dao would naturally fall to Yino to inherit!

[Good... child...]

The scarlet eyeball formed by vines, although it had no mouth, still simulated a hoarse and eerie maternal voice in some special way.

Hearing the Mother Goddess's call, Yino hurriedly knelt facing the eyeball, lowering his head, but the corners of his lips still curved up imperceptibly.

In front of him, a few vines slowly descended.

[This is...]

[Your... nine lifetimes of fate with me...]

Yino raised his head at the sound and saw that the ends of those few vines had actually borne a blood-red abnormal fruit.

He recognized it. This fruit was called the Mother Goddess's Gestation Gift in the game.

[...The reward... you deserve...]

The Mother Goddess's hoarse voice grew smaller and smaller, as if also symbolizing the altar's nutrients becoming more and more depleted.

Yino put his hands together, nodded in gratitude, and then without any politeness, fiercely plucked that weirdly shaped fruit and swallowed it whole in three bites at the fastest speed.

After all, that's how the beautifully illustrated Great Thunder Holy Maiden ate it in the game.

As the fruit juice was digested and absorbed, Yino also vaguely felt a blessing from the Mother Goddess enveloping him.

"..."

Recalling the plot, Yino almost instinctively gasped.

But soon, he opened his eyes in surprise:

-It doesn't hurt at all...?-

-...I thought it would be like tempering bones and changing blood in cultivation novels... a feeling of being in so much pain you don't want to live...-

Thinking of this, Yino was a bit surprised. He moved his hands back and forth, but until that warmth of being blessed by the Mother Goddess disappeared, Yino still didn't feel any pain all over his body.

Instantly, Yino felt a moment of hesitation.

-Damn, did I eat a fake?-

-In the game, they all looked like they were in pain, so why…-

Just as this thought arose in Yino's mind.

But as the vines on the Life Sacrificial Altar began to wither, a gray remnant shadow suddenly rushed out from the temple not far away.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Wanglan turned into an afterimage like the wind and lightning, suddenly appearing in Yino's blind spot behind him.

"Heh..."

"You think I'll wait for you to digest the Holy Sword Dao body?!"

Gu Wanglan sneered, summoned a long sword, and with the absolute crushing cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, he swung his sword horizontally at Yino's head.

But just as the long sword fell, Yino almost unconsciously resisted with his backhand.

Clang--!!

The blood-colored scale armor on his arm bracers blocked the fatal blow for Yino's back of the neck.

This battle speed burst out so fast that not only Yino who reacted purely on instinct, but even Gu Wanglan who sneak attacked was shocked.

However.

Although Yino reacted quickly, his cultivation was ultimately suppressed. After only a moment of resistance, his entire body was violently pushed over by Gu Wanglan's brute force.

Rumble rumble!!!

Yino crashed through four walls in a row, and finally ended up similar to Gu Wanglan's previous fall, slamming into the embrace of another statue with a loud bang and falling to the ground.

"Cough... Cough cough..."

"This isn't right... Why do I still feel weak..."

Yino spat out blood and complained in a daze, his head ringing from the beating.

It was also his first time eating the Mother Goddess's Gestation Gift fruit. He didn't even understand if he had inherited this [Innate Holy Sword Dao Body].

"Wait!"

"Innate... Innate, Innate Holy Sword Dao Body

In his confusion, Yino seemed to have guessed the true source of the incongruity.

In his previous life when playing the game, it was just a string of values and codes after all. If the system said you obtained some rare holy body, it would directly put it in the title column.

But now that he had truly reincarnated into the world of Fallen Immortals, Yino discovered that things might not be as simple as he thought.

He thought it was a simple and crude direct replacement of muscles, tendons, bones, and then a surge in cultivation...

But in fact, the so-called [Innate Holy Sword Dao Body] was likely just an ethereal [Heavenly Fate Title], and after being devoured and gestated by the Mother Goddess of Life, this [Heavenly Fate Title] originally on Chen Jianxin's head had been reformatted by the system.

So, after Yino ate the fruit just now, although he could instinctively react quickly and raise his hand to defend, he didn't feel an obvious increase in strength, because this [Innate] was truly literally related to heavenly fate, equivalent to Yino having an additional [Heavenly Fate Title] that should have belonged to the protagonist.

And Yino had only just obtained the Heavenly Fate Title not long ago, like a newborn protagonist. Although he had an excellent title on his head, if he didn't cultivate it, he couldn't feel the talent in the Sword Dao!

"F*ck!"

-So I'm still a Foundation Establishment stage weakling now, and I still have to go back and practice more to enjoy the heavenly fate bonus?-

Thinking of this, Yino instantly felt his balls ache.

Fortunately, although the Innate Holy Sword Dao couldn't temporarily increase his cultivation, it could make Yino's senses a bit faster, and many fatal attacks also had an instinctive defense engraved in his genes!
