Chapter 579: Incarnation of the Tao – “I was wrong… Where did I go wrong?!”
“Brother Lin, I believe the young master has already told you. From now on, I’ll entrust the Bai Jiu Alliance to you. Honestly, you’ve been doing so much better than I have lately. With your support, I can finally relax and head to the Western Regions.”
Ling Feng clasped his hands in a gesture of respect toward Lin Yan.
“Don’t worry. Since Brother Bai is willing to entrust the Bai Jiu Alliance to my management, I’ll do a good job,” Lin Yan nodded seriously. “But you—these days, the Western Regions are way more dangerous than the Southern Region. What a shame I’m so tied up I can’t go with you to brave the danger; I’d love to stir up some trouble alongside you and help Brother Bai.”
“Hey, just go ahead and do your own thing,” Ling Feng shook his head. “No need to risk yourself going to the Western Regions with me. Anyway, that’s where I grew up. I can’t just stand by and watch. Plus, I couldn’t help the young master before, so for whatever reason—dangerous or not—I must go to the Western Regions.”
“Forget it, I won’t say much more,” Lin Yan pulled out a bottle of pills. “Take this; be careful out there.”
Ling Feng nodded without declining. “Thanks, Brother Lin. I won’t hesitate to take it.”
After Ling Feng left, Lin Yan stayed standing in place, lost in thought.
“What’s wrong? Are you also curious about those immortal corpses in the Western Regions?” an old man emerged from a ring, floating beside him and asked.
“They are immortals,” Lin Yan exhaled softly. “What a pity my power is too weak—I really want to see what those ancient immortals looked like in their glory days.”
“… Weak?” The old man looked at Lin Yan, who was young but had already reached the Refinement Stage. If he didn’t know his disciple’s personality, he’d think Lin Yan was flaunting to impress others.
Lin Yan shook his head. “Bai Brother is already in the Merging Stage, and he’s taken out a Divine Consciousness of an immortal and snuffed it out. Yet here I am, still in the Refinement Stage. I wouldn’t dare say I can beat someone in the Merging Stage; I really need to work harder.”
“…”
The old man wanted to comfort him, but thinking of Bai Feng—who looked like an ordinary talent but was actually an unbelievable demon—he hesitated. Honestly, how did that guy cultivate? Did he have an even stronger master? Maybe some immortal grandpa?
Meanwhile,
Bai Feng was smacking the Heavenly Dao Incarnation’s b*tt.
“Two days without a spanking, and you start to itch, huh? Dare to show your face again?”
“…”
The Heavenly Dao Incarnation lay expressionless on his leg; even when caught jumping face-first, she wouldn’t admit defeat!
After giving her a good smack, Bai Feng exhaled. Seeing her bow her head obediently, he felt more annoyed—this was a routine now. Every time he finished, within two days she’d be back to her old tricks!
“Seriously, do you have some weird f*tish? Do you enjoy me pushing your luck with the luck points? Doing stuff that’s neither good for you nor for me?”
“…”
The Heavenly Dao Incarnation kept her head down, silent.
She wanted to say she found it funny—seeing him get frustrated was the best part—but knowing she’d get smacked again, she chose to keep quiet.
Bai Feng sighed and reached out, pinching her little face. “I have one more question: shouldn’t your incarnation be pretty powerful?”
“Sorry, but due to the influence of the Dao of Heaven in the cultivation world, I lack fighting strength,” she shook her head. “That’s why I just watched you slump along without helping.”
If she had strength, she’d have already dangling Bai Feng by his ankles and spanked him.
“Hm… I have another question. Why are you so obedient, hiding in the library? I thought you’d go completely missing like before.”
Though she was a little dissatisfied with Bai Feng’s antics, she still answered honestly: “Because this body is made from the residual power left after I absorbed the divine consciousness of the Crow Immortal. I don’t have extra power to make another body, so I don’t want to give up this one over trivial things.”
“I see,” Bai Feng nodded, then gave her face a firm squeeze again. “And yet you dare to jump your face!”
“Correction, I’m helping my host improve his strength. Even I can’t reward the host directly.”
“Hmph, you’re pretty good to me,” Bai Feng nodded again, then suddenly grabbed her tiny face. “What do you mean, calling me ‘lotus-eater’? Huh? Answer me!”
“…”
The Heavenly Dao Incarnation chose to stay silent.
“Looks like you’re immune to my tricks!” Bai Feng snatched her up and placed her on his lap.
“Wait, I was wrong,” she finally begged for mercy.
“Wow, hearing ‘I was wrong’ from you is pretty rare.” Bai Feng grinned, pat her a bit, then released her. “Hope you remember what you said today.”
“Hmm,” she nodded obediently, looking very well-behaved. Bai Feng, seeing this, decided to let her go for now and left the system’s library.
Three days later,
【Ding! Host’s stunt double, Yuanyuan Youyu, has beaten Shui Xi Yu hard. Reward: +211 Luck Points, +21 to all attributes.】
Bai Feng: “……”
System: You think I can’t tell you’re just making excuses to curse me as the Lotus Eater?
It’s only been three days, and you’ve already forgotten that lesson from three days ago?
To deal with a system that won’t give up on teasing me with meaningless tricks, I need to go all out!
Seconds later…
“I’m sorry! Spare me!”
“Too late!”
Another three days flew by.
The heavenly b*tt no longer hurt, and the Heavenly Dao Incarnation stared at Bai Feng. She prepared her Luck points and muttered softly, “Where did I go wrong? You’re feeding on my luck points, you ‘lotus-eater’.”

“Hoo, finally finished forging the sword,” Bai Feng exhaled slowly. Though exhausted, he felt a surge of joy when looking at the sharp, divine sword in front of him. His fatigue eased considerably.
But there’s just one last step before completing the sword.
He looked up toward the sky, where dark clouds had already begun gathering.
The divine sword, like an immortal, must face a Tribulation to transform from an ordinary object into a true celestial sword.
This process—whether for the sword maker or the wielder—is beyond their control. Only by surviving the heavenly tribulation, enduring its divine punishment, can the sword truly become a celestial weapon.
Taking a step back, Bai Feng watched as the amassed clouds finally released the first lightning strike.
The savage lightning hit the sword’s blade without causing any harm. Bai Feng’s tense heart eased a little.
Just as he was about to ask the Heavenly Dao Incarnation about the tribulation, he suddenly saw a string of system notifications—not because she had discovered something, but because they were flooding him with Luck Points.
For example:
【Detected: Host’s miscellaneous activities—more fish than water. Because the host hadn’t visited Yun Yue Yao in three hours, she fell into exhaustion—reward: +55 Luck Points, +5 to all attributes.】
【Detected: Host’s chaotic activities—more fish than water—due to the host…】
“……”
Bai Feng was silent. He didn’t expect the system to take advantage of him forging the divine sword to flood him with Luck Points while secretly muting him.
