Chapter 35 Mate
Ding!
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully been asked for pointers by a student. Please select one of the three available rewards."
1. Omniscient Dao Codex - a legendary divine technique that embodies the ultimate wisdom of the heavens, capable of unraveling and mastering every aspect of existence. It is a manifestation of the universe’s infinite knowledge, seamlessly blending cultivation, martial arts, alchemy, formations, beast taming, and even mundane skills into a single all-encompassing art.
2. Eyes of True Discernment are eyes that are imbued with the power of absolute clarity, allowing the user to see beyond surface appearances and understand the true nature of everything they perceive. Whether it’s a person’s soul, the deepest secrets of the world, or the hidden intentions behind every action, the Eyes of True Discernment grant the ability to perceive things as they truly are, without deception or illusion. The user can see through lies, uncover hidden truths, and instantly recognize the core essence of any being, object, or phenomenon.
3. Void Sanctuary – A personal, hidden dimension accessible solely by the user. This pocket space exists beyond the boundaries of the physical and spiritual realms, rendering it utterly undetectable to any being. Not even true immortals, with their vast powers and knowledge, can breach or perceive its existence. The Void Sanctuary serves as the ultimate refuge, ensuring the user’s safety and privacy under any circumstances.
"Wow! This is too much!" Riley was stunned, but he didn’t let it show. Suppressing his excitement, he immediately made his choice.
"System, give me the Omniscient Dao Codex!" he commanded in his mind.
"Affirmative, Host!"
Ding!
The system’s reply was followed by an excruciating headache that lasted only three breaths.
Yet, within that brief moment, Riley’s mind was flooded with the infinite knowledge of the heavens, the mysteries of creation itself, and the secrets of the entire multiverse.
When he opened his eyes again, it felt as though he knew everything—every true name of all things, past, present, and future.
The weight of omniscience settled in his mind like it had always belonged there.
To this revelation, Riley could only smile.
He sat calmly, waiting for the others to arrive. By the end of the Seven Swords Grand Meet, he was determined to help them achieve an exceptional ranking.
Ten minutes later, Riley found himself surrounded by 24 disciples. Among them was Leia Frost, who naturally drew his attention.
With his abilities, Riley discreetly copied all her memories to better understand her personality and motivations.
However, as the influx of her memories filled his mind, Riley’s face reddened. He now knew everything about Leia—including moments he wasn’t meant to see.
Her naked form appeared in countless fragments of her life, leaving Riley momentarily flustered.
"Elder, why is your nose bleeding?" one of the disciples asked, pointing out the obvious.
"It’s just a mosquito," Riley replied hastily, wiping his face clean. Avoiding Leia’s gaze, he forced himself to focus. But deep inside, he couldn’t help but feel thrilled.
He now knew exactly how to win Leia’s heart.
Still, there was work to be done, and Riley turned his attention to the group.
"Alright then, as you all know, in battles between equals, speed often determines the outcome. If you can’t defeat an enemy, you can always escape. And more importantly, what an opponent can’t see, they can’t evade," Riley began, his tone steady and authoritative.
"Can anyone here demonstrate the Void Wind Walk Technique for me?"
"I’ll show it to you, Elder Riley," a young man volunteered confidently.
All eyes turned to him as he stood still for a brief moment. Then, with a sudden gust of wind, he vanished, only to reappear several feet away in the blink of an eye.
His speed was so great that it seemed as though he had teleported.
The demonstration showcased the Void Wind Walk Technique, a Profound Rank movement technique from the Stone Mountain Sect. Techniques and manuals were divided in these ranks.
Mortal rank Spirit rank Profound rank Earth rank Heaven rank King rank Emperor rank Saint rank Immortal rank Divine rank
Riley didn’t bother learning any techniques from the Stone Mountain Sect, as his arsenal was already filled with numerous divine-rank techniques.
The sect’s teachings seemed insignificant in comparison.
Closing his eyes, Riley focused on deducing the evolutionary path of the Void Wind Walk. It wasn’t long before he crafted a divine-rank version of the technique.
"Ding!"
"Divine-rank technique created. Please assign a name, host," the system chimed.
"Divine Step," Riley replied in his mind, a satisfied grin tugging at his lips. He then began to analyze the effects of Divine Step, eagerly anticipating its potential.
Divine Step - a powerful, divine technique that grants the user unparalleled movement speed and control over space, making them almost impossible to track or catch. It transcends the limits of ordinary physical and spiritual movement, allowing the practitioner to move with divine speed, almost as if they are walking through dimensions or bending time and space.
Riley then summoned his character status.
Ding!

Riley glanced at the Stone Mountain Sect disciples and began formulating a plan for the group.
Of course, teaching them a divine-rank technique like Divine Step was out of the question—it would be an impossible task. However, he decided to give them the next best thing.
With the combined memories of Elias Page and Tadeo Prince, totaling over 33,000 years of experience, even helping a frog reach the heavens felt like a simple task for him now.
"Alright, disciples of the Stone Mountain Sect," Riley said loudly, his voice commanding attention. "I’m going to train you, and I won’t accept anything less than a champion in the games ahead!"
The disciples exchanged uneasy glances. None of them liked the sound of that.
What do you think?
