Chapter 11: The Vanishing Trinity Saint Golden Lotus

100,000 Destiny Points—and they came from destroying Chu Fan’s core opportunity. Without hesitation, Su Ming activated the Destiny Vision again. He needed to confirm just how much of Chu Fan’s destiny had truly been damaged.

As his vision shifted once more, Su Ming saw the great tree representing Chu Fan. The tree was still full of vitality, but at its core—right at the heart of the trunk—a large portion had been gouged out. One look, and Su Ming could tell: without that central support, everything else was just an illusion, a castle in the sky.

The Destiny Vision ended, and Su Ming could no longer hide the smile on his lips.

[Congratulations to the host for taking a solid step toward altering fate. A new mission has been issued.]
[Win first place in the Sect Tournament. Upon completion, you will receive a half-step Void Realm battle puppet.]

Battle puppets were combat-type treasures crafted from various materials, capable of assisting in battle upon activation. For Su Ming, this reward came at the perfect time.

Although Uncle Meng’s cultivation was already at the peak of the Star Realm, he was still only one person. If their enemies went all out and charged him en masse, even Uncle Meng wouldn’t be able to hold them all back. But if Su Ming had a half-step Void Realm puppet, there would be nothing to fear.

“Chu Fan, now I have one more reason to rise by stepping on your corpse…”

As he held the Chaos Spirit Crystal and absorbed the chaos energy within it, Su Ming also examined the resources Li Jianping had brought him. But after just one glance, the pleased look on his face turned cold.

All of the resources in the storage ring were things Uncle Meng had already given out in the past.

“You people of the Trinity Saint Sect really know how to ruin my mood.”
“Once I seize the Holy Son position, I’ll make sure the Trinity Saint Sect knows no peace ever again!”

Taking out the resources, Su Ming immediately began circulating the Fortune Origin Scripture to absorb them. He had to break through to the Longevity Realm before the Sect Tournament and crush the younger generation with overwhelming strength.

…

Trinity Saint Sect, Trinity Saint Pool.

At that moment, Ye Nantian was burning with rage as he stood outside the Trinity Saint Pool, blocked from entering. The opportunity for his disciple to acquire a special constitution was right in front of him, but today’s elder guarding the pool was utterly inflexible.

“I told you, the Sect Master ordered me to bring my disciple into the Trinity Saint Pool! I even have the Sect Master’s token—how can you stop me?!”

“So what? The sect has rules. Unless the Sect Master himself arrives, or five or more elders come together with the token, no one is allowed to enter!”

Despite being a Star Realm cultivator, Ye Nantian was completely shut out. Not because he couldn’t defeat the elder, but because the protective formation of the Trinity Saint Pool had already been activated. Forcing entry would be impossible—even Uncle Meng wouldn’t be able to breach it.

Under such strict protection, for Su Ming to have entered and stolen the Trinity Saint Golden Lotus could only mean one thing—it had been arranged by someone high up in the Trinity Saint Sect.

As Chu Fan’s aura gradually stabilized, Ye Nantian grew even more anxious.

Fortunately, Li Jianping arrived just then from Chenyang Peak.

“Elder Liu, Ye Nantian holds my token. Why won’t you let him through?”

“Just following sect rules.” Seeing that the Sect Master had arrived, Elder Liu stepped aside.

Ye Nantian rushed in with Chu Fan and made a beeline for the location of the Trinity Saint Golden Lotus. Li Jianping followed closely. Today, he wanted to see just what kind of surprise Chu Fan could give him.

But before he caught up, Ye Nantian’s stunned voice rang out from within. “How is this possible?!”

Alarmed, Li Jianping and Elder Liu rushed inside, only to see Ye Nantian holding Chu Fan, with a Trinity Saint Golden Lotus in his hand—then, right before their eyes, the lotus vanished into thin air.

Li Jianping’s pupils constricted. He immediately stepped forward. “What happened?! Why did the Trinity Saint Golden Lotus disappear?!”

The formation around the Trinity Saint Pool was already active, sealing off the space. Spatial items like storage rings couldn’t be used at all. And yet—the lotus had vanished without a trace.

“I don’t know! I was just trying to feed it to Fan’er! I don’t know why it vanished!” Ye Nantian explained anxiously, then grabbed another golden lotus to feed Chu Fan again.

The result was the same—the lotus vanished into thin air once more.

“What’s going on?!” Ye Nantian slapped the water of the Trinity Saint Pool in frustration, trying to understand.

Li Jianping picked up a Trinity Saint Golden Lotus and examined it closely. He was certain it hadn’t been tampered with. He then moved to feed it to Chu Fan himself.

The moment the lotus approached Chu Fan, it disappeared. Li Jianping didn’t even have time to react—it was as if he had never touched it.

“What the hell is going on here?” he muttered, echoing Ye Nantian’s confusion.

But Li Jianping quickly came to his senses and shouted to Elder Liu, “The sect’s treasure has been stolen. Relay my command! Lock down the entire sect! Activate the grand protective formation—don’t let a single bird fly out!”

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Elder Liu immediately turned and left to carry out the order.

Ye Nantian still couldn’t accept what was happening. He continued trying to feed the lotuses to Chu Fan—but each one vanished like the others.

Frowning, Li Jianping considered another possibility and said, “Ye Nantian, take a Trinity Saint Golden Lotus and try absorbing it yourself.”

Ye Nantian hesitated but followed the instruction. He picked one up and began refining it.

The refining process was smooth. His cultivation rose from 4th stage Star Realm to 5th stage.

“So… only the ones meant for Chu Fan vanish… Someone is clearly targeting him!”

“My disciple has no grudges with anyone—who would do this to him? Su Ming! It must be him! He must’ve done something! I’ll make him return every single golden lotus!”

Just as Ye Nantian tried to storm off to confront Su Ming, he was stopped in his tracks.

“Calm down! This has nothing to do with him.”

Although Li Jianping also wanted to pin this on Su Ming, he couldn’t find any actual connection. Su Ming’s protector didn’t have this kind of ability. As for Su Ming himself—Li Jianping could still sense the chaos energy on Chenyang Peak. Su Ming hadn’t even moved.

If Ye Nantian went now, Su Ming would definitely exploit the situation.

“Sect Master… without the Trinity Saint Golden Lotus, my disciple’s special constitution—”

“We can only leave it to fate now…” Li Jianping sighed and shook his head.

Chu Fan’s refining process had been one step away from completion. If it hadn’t been for the Profound Sun Spiritual Body, Li Jianping would have already helped him finish it. But the Profound Yang Spirit Grass was gone, the refinement had been interrupted, and now even the Trinity Saint Golden Lotus was useless. It felt like fate itself had determined that Chu Fan would never acquire a special constitution.

Meanwhile, back on Chenyang Peak, Su Ming suddenly asked the system, “Is Chu Fan’s opportunity over? Why haven’t any new Trinity Saint Golden Lotuses appeared?”
