Chapter 351: Trait Upgrade (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Golden Upgrade Trait]: A one-time high-level Trait. It can upgrade a Trait whose upper limit is lower than Golden to the upper limit of the Golden Trait. If the current quality is lower than Red, it can directly increase by one level.
“A Trait that increases quality… Could it be that the system is hinting that I have to hide and develop?”
Han Zhao thought to himself.
After successfully heading to the outer seas this time, he had to cultivate to the Perfected Seven Fiend Realm and find a way to survive the Divine Power Tribulation.
He no longer wanted to live such a life of being hunted down everywhere.
After thinking for a moment, Han Zhao came back to his senses and chose from the Traits he had obtained.
Recently, with the increase in simulations, the quality of the Traits he obtained was relatively high. There were not many that could be improved, but some of the developmental Traits he had previously obtained were very necessary to improve.
Increasing the quality of the [Reincarnation of Alchemy Saint] could allow
him to live better after heading to the outer seas.
On the other hand, [Martial Arts Genius] allowed him to cultivate faster and have a chance to break through the cultivation method.
Finally, there was the [Body Tempering Madman] Trait, which increased the apt.i.tude to cultivate a body tempering cultivation method.
During this period of time, Han Zhao continuously obtained a large amount of Yin energy. Instead of relying on his own cultivation, he had been breaking through with points more often.
However, every time, he had to think of a way to deal with powerful enemies in simulation and reality.
“The past can’t be changed. In the future, I definitely won’t cause so much trouble in the outer seas.’
Thinking of this, Han Zhao made a decision.
Among the cultivation techniques he mainly cultivated, the Indestructible Vajra Divine Technique was a divine technique that cultivated both internally and externally, but it leaned towards body tempering external cultivation. As for the True Spirit Nine Transformations, it was a pure body tempering cultivation method.
[Body Tempering Madman]: Purple Trait. The restriction on cultivating body tempering cultivation methods is reduced by 30%, pain is reduced by 50%, and cultivation apt.i.tude is increased by 10 times (Can be upgraded to Orange Trait through cultivation, upper limit is Red Trait).
“System, use the one-time Golden Upgrade Trait to increase the quality of [Body Tempering Madman].”
Han Zhao muttered to himself. The [Body Tempering Madman] Trait in the system interface immediately shone with golden light, giving off a luxurious aura filled with money.
[Obtained Trait: Body Tempering G.o.d.]
[Body Tempering G.o.d]: Orange Trait. The restriction of cultivating a body tempering cultivation method is reduced by 40%, the pain is reduced by 60%, and the cultivation apt.i.tude is increased by 12 times. When cultivating a foreign race’s body tempering cultivation method, it can ignore some racial differences and restrictions. (It can be upgraded to a Red Trait through cultivation. The upper limit is a Golden Trait.)
“It’s better to reduce the pain.” Han Zhao looked at the upgraded Trait and heaved a sigh of relief.
Even if he used attribute points to increase his cultivation method, the pain of breaking through was unavoidable. Ordinary people did not want to experience this inhuman pain. It was better to avoid it.
Reducing pain was what Han Zhao needed the most. Coupled with various body tempering pills, even if he did not use attribute points, he could cultivate
by himself.
Moreover, the increase in apt.i.tude would directly be used on attribute points and medicinal pills. By using the same amount of attribute points and medicinal pills, the higher the apt.i.tude, the more obvious the improvement effect.
“Next is to condense a Lesser Divine Power.”
Han Zhao sensed the Divine Seed rooted in his dantian. As he entered the Martial Saint realm, his body seemed to have fused with the world. This Divine Seed seemed to be absorbing the power of the world at all times.
His dantian had expanded more than three times. His dantian, which was originally filled with all kinds of true qi and Astral Qi, had become empty.
“Whoosh!”
Han Zhao extended his hand and a large amount of Astral Qi gathered in his palm. Like rivers returning to the sea, it instantly condensed into a ball of Astral Qi.
“The Astral Qi has become more condensed and its circulation speed has more than doubled. I really don’t know how those Martial Saints lost to me back then.” Han Zhao felt the increase in his strength after breaking through and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
It could only be said that a Martial Saint who had not condensed a Lesser Divine Power was still a little lacking.
“According to the intelligence in the simulation, the top experts sent by the enemy are mainly Pseudo-Divine Weapon Masters from divine weapons families. It seems that I have to change my train of thought.”
Previously, the small Divine Power that Han Zhao was preparing to condense was the Sun True Astral. This was because, from the looks of it, the Sun True
Astral was the most explosive among the Astral Qi he had mastered.
However, the enemies he encountered in the simulation were all
Pseudo-Divine Weapon Masters who were many realms higher than him. No matter how powerful the explosive power of the Sun True Astral was, how could he jump levels? The difference in realm was too great, so he could not deal a substantial blow to the enemy.
Therefore, in order to successfully head to the Heavenly Saint Sect, he should choose a different Lesser Divine Power.
“The Three Points Origin Returning Qi, which is both offensive and defensive, is more suitable!” Han Zhao circulated the perfected Three Essence Force in his body and injected it into the top-grade Divine Seed in his dantian.
With the enhancement of the Divine Seed, he could master the Lesser Divine Power of Three Points Origin Returning Qi. Its decomposition ability could be greatly increased. In addition, he had the Demon Vanquishing Light’s weakening effect on demons and descendants of divine weapons families.
With the combination of the two, as long as there was strong help, he could
drag it out. Life-preservation should not be a problem.
A large amount of Three Essence Force entered the pure white top-grade Divine Seed. Soon, this Divine Seed turned from pure white to light blue.
By the time Han Zhao entered the Divine Seed with all the Three Essence
Force in his body, he had also exhausted nearly half of his Longevity Astral Qi.
Most importantly, his mental strength was rapidly depleted, but his Divine Seed was still not full.
Seeing this, he stopped.
If this was the outside world, he could directly enter seclusion to condense a Lesser Divine Power. However, he was in the Strange Domain now and could not consume too much true qi, especially the consumption of mental power. It was the most difficult to recover.
“A top-grade Divine Seed is good, but it’s too difficult to feed.” Han Zhao raised his eyebrows and his face was a little pale.
As half of the process of condensing the Lesser Divine Power with the Three Points Origin Returning Qi was completed, he realized that the top-grade Divine Seed in his dantian had an extremely close connection with him.
The Divine Seed was like a part of his body.
“I’ll regulate my breathing first.”
Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated his cultivation method.
His entire body gradually became misty, as if it were enveloped by a layer of red gauze.
He began to consume the qi and blood in the Dragon Blood Bag to replenish his exhausted Internal Force and Astral Qi.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Xiao’s figure appeared in the perspective of the Lightning Flood Dragon avatar.
“Crack, crack, crack!” A platinum electric arc flashed slightly. The Lightning Flood Dragon avatar crossed more than ten meters in a flash and appeared beside Han Zhao. In the next second, it entered his body.
Han Zhao suddenly opened his eyes. An electric light flashed in them before he returned to normal.
At this moment, the sky was already a little dark.
Han Zhao stood up and walked towards Shen Xiao’s return.
“Brother Han, aren’t you regulating your breathing? Why do you look a little pale and your aura is a little chaotic?” When Shen Xiao saw Han Zhao, he was a little surprised.
“It’s fine. It’s just that something went wrong with my cultivation and I lost a little blood qi.” Han Zhao smiled.
“Brother Han is really hardworking. You actually cultivate in such an environment.” The corners of Shen Xiao’s mouth twitched as he laughed.
He felt that Han Zhao’s answer was quite ridiculous, but Han Zhao’s aura was indeed unstable as if there was a problem with his cultivation.
“Brother Shen, how’s your investigation going?” Han Zhao changed the topic.
“About 400 miles to the north, there’s a valley that’s very similar to the place described by the clan. However, many descendants of the aristocratic families have already gone there. A few of them are not weak and are all ranked at the front of the Qilin Ranking. I came back to inform Brother Han and prepare to go together.” Shen Xiao explained.
“In that case, let’s set off.” Han Zhao nodded. During the journey, he continued to consume the Dragon Blood Sac’s blood qi to recover.
“Alright.” Although Shen Xiao felt that Han Zhao had not recovered, he was also in a hurry to find the Demon Martial G.o.d’s inheritance ground.
To Han Zhao and Shen Xiao, the journey of 400 miles was completed in less than five minutes. If not for the fact that they encountered some anomalous creatures and low-grade demons blocking their way, it would have taken even less time.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the narrower the path became. The stone walls on both sides were tall and steep as if they had entered a narrow and cramped valley.
“Demon Suppression Valley!”
At the entrance of the valley stood a black stone tablet with the words ‘Demon Suppression Valley’ written in scarlet. It looked extremely demonic.
Originally, it was still a little cold when they entered the mountain range. The deeper they went into the valley, the more the air gradually emitted a scorching aura.
The two of them arrived at the edge of a cliff and saw a valley more than a hundred meters deep in front of them. The sound of an intense battle came from below.
Han Zhao looked over and saw Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi being surrounded by seven or eight descendants of aristocratic families.
A bald young man who was 2.2 meters tall stood at the side. He did not attack. Instead, he crossed his arms and watched the battle with interest. His explosive muscles were like steel, and a terrifying aura surged over.
It could be seen that these descendants of the aristocratic families did not want to kill the two of them, as if they wanted to capture them alive.
“Brother Han, that baldy is Cao Wuyu!” Shen Xiao pointed at the bald youth at the bottom of the valley with a solemn expression.
He did not expect Cao Wuyu to arrive first. It seemed that the entrance to the demon Martial G.o.d’s inheritance ground was nearby.
“Cao Wuyu is indeed quite strong.” Han Zhao nodded.
The blood qi in Cao Wuyu’s body was simply so strong that it was comparable to a Martial Saint. If he had not broken through, the other party should be a strong opponent.
“This person has unleashed the Nine Li Battle Beast’s bloodline to the limit at the second Bloodline Awakening stage. He’s even better than Cao Xuan back then. I heard that he deliberately suppressed his breakthrough so that his foundation would be deeper. At the same time, he cultivated…” Shen Xiao quickly explained.
However, when he turned around, Han Zhao, who had been standing beside him just now, had disappeared.
When he looked into the valley, Han Zhao jumped down a hundred meters into the valley.
“Brother Han?!” Shen Xiao was stunned. At the very least, he had to wait for the others to fight for a while before attacking. Wouldn’t he be courting death if he went down now?
However, for the sake of the mission, Shen Xiao still braced himself and followed.
Since he was already here, there was no way he could retreat.
Boom!!
Accompanied by a loud bang, dust filled the sky and gravel flew. The entire valley seemed to tremble, and ripples that seemed to have materialized appeared in the air.
Everyone in the arena looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure gradually appear in the smoke, He knelt on one knee and slowly stood up before walking out of the smoke.
With him as the center, dense cracks extended from the ground under his feet like a spider web.
“Who is it?!”
Buzz buzz buzz!
The highly condensed Astral Qi buzzed and Han Zhao’s figure appeared.
The descendants of the aristocratic families who were besieging Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi also subconsciously stopped.
“Brother Han!” The two of them were overjoyed when they saw Han Zhao appear like a divine weapon from the sky. With Han Zhao’s arrival, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to protect themselves.
However, Han Zhao’s next words made the two of them stop in their tracks.
“Everyone, line up and take turns paying!” Han Zhao shouted.
The descendants of the aristocratic families present were stunned, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears..
