Chapter 506: Granting Characteristic to The Unsullied |
According to the information Old Yuan left him after inquiring with the Dao Sovereign previously, the Azure God Rebirth Technique was almost the only feasible method in the Abyssal Void that had undergone massive verification.
The core of it was not those materials, but the "Azure Deity Metamorphosis" Ritual. The materials integrated into the body in the early stage were all preparations for the final Ritual.
Besides this "Azure Deity Metamorphosis" Ritual, there was fundamentally no second method that could cross the talent chasm.
Therefore, there was only this one method for the Five Pillars to evolve into an Azure God, and precisely because of this, Chu Lingyuan was so worried.
"The Unsullied is still formidable, after all..." Su Chen thought to himself, his eyes flickering slightly. "I've been thinking about other Holy Classes, but actually forgot about this highly meritorious guy."
"This Unsullied was formed by Fusing professions that enhance talent, and was later strengthened by Essence Marrow. The Development Efficiency it boosts should definitely also work on Cultivation Efficiency."
"That Vocation Fire can perhaps be invested in it..."
Scanning the Dispatch Page, there was temporarily no movement. He originally hadn't figured out which specific Holy Class to use it on, planning to use it on whichever returned first.
Now, remembering the merit of the Unsullied, he was moved by the thought——【Currently idling, the Unsullied observing the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith suddenly had its eyelids twitch. Looking up, there was impressively a cluster of white flame descending from the sky, enveloping it.】
Harming? Su Chen was speechless. Truly not recognizing a good person's intentions.
【...Amidst the miserable wails, the Unsullied's body gradually underwent Transformation, becoming increasingly solid and robust, and Patterns even surfaced on its body.】
【The Unsullied has obtained the medium-tier Characteristic - Potential Surge: For every Holy Class taken, gain a 200% Development Efficiency Blessing.】
The direction of the Characteristic stimulated by the Unsullied didn't exceed Su Chen's expectations; it also targeted talent blessing.
This kind of blessing was permanent. Su Chen immediately felt a tingling sensation in his body, like weak electric currents flowing through his entire body, taking a good while to gradually subside.
"200% per Holy Class. This right here is a fourteen-fold blessing; who knows how intense it will be."
The Unsullied's Unsullied Heart ability granted a 10% Development Efficiency blessing for every profession taken.
Later, strengthened by Essence Marrow, it doubled to reach 20%.
And right now, his foundation of seven Top-Tier Holy Classes was equivalent to fifty-six professions, plus the devouring enhancements during the process, and some other scattered professions, he had roughly close to seventy professions on him.
That was a 14-fold Development Efficiency blessing, along with the Unsullied's own Unsullied Physique ability of 500%, totaling nearly a 20-fold Development Efficiency blessing.
This was a 20-fold Development Efficiency blessing on the foundation of True Brilliance Talent, which was also the key reason why his profession advancement speed was so fast.
And adding the 14-fold from the Holy Classes, it had already reached a terrifying 34-fold.
But when numbers accumulated to a certain point, he didn't have a concrete concept either; he had to experience it personally to know.
Sitting cross-legged, he operated his Body Tempering and Meditation Methods. Ripples echoed around him as elemental and Psionic Power instantly boiled, rapidly condensing into blurry dragon and tiger phantom images, which then rapidly solidified, as if possessing physical existence.
The dragon's head roared lowly, spewing flame waves. The tiger's eyes were like lightning, its claw edges carrying lightning gleams. The two entangled endlessly, tumbling and biting in the void.
Su Chen's muscles also heaved continuously. The energy exchange with the dragon and tiger almost connected into a stream of light. The efficiency of absorbing and spewing elemental and Psionic Power was obviously much faster.
"Hiss..." Su Chen quickly restrained himself, quite astonished, "This speed is a bit too perverted, right?"
The improvement was truly too obvious. He estimated that if he improved at this speed, within two or three months, he would be able to finish the remaining 17% of progress.
Su Chen briefly estimated, clicking his tongue even more. He had the [Calamity Breaker] previously given by the Heavenly Sovereign, which could stimulate his Development Progress by 30% in extreme situations.
And he also had the Primordial Breath Potion. If fully utilized, it could roughly increase Development Progress by 18%.
These two added up to 48% progress. He only needed to improve to 52%, and he would be able to directly use these two items to max out his Development Progress, thereby advancing to Morning Star.
And currently, his Development Progress had already reached 35%. This was his accumulation over the past year or so. Theoretically, 17% should take over half a year, but now it was further shortened.
"Worthy of being a medium-tier Characteristic. This kind of talent-type Holy Class is somewhat perverted, but it seems not many people in High Heaven have taken it."
"..."
After lamenting, Su Chen couldn't help but feel somewhat puzzled, "This kind of efficiency improvement should also be useful for Ascension Refining, why..."
After a brief moment of thought, he quickly understood. This effect was indeed obvious, but if it were on someone else, it wouldn't be the case.
In essence, what restricted the upper limits of other Professionals wasn't their own talent or Development Efficiency, but the limited Morning Star Spirits and Radiant Moon Spirits.
Taking those with Divine Dawn Talent as an example, there was over an 80% Probability of obtaining the selection of a Morning Star Spirit. Even if they further increased their Development Efficiency, it would merely mean a faster advancement speed.
But taking on professions required consuming considerable Resources and energy. Putting Resources and energy into this aspect would inevitably lead to shortcomings in other aspects.
In this way, facing challenges from others would be difficult to deal with. It would be hard to maintain their status as Star Seeds, ultimately doing more harm than good.
And as for True Brilliance Talent, even if they stacked extra Development Efficiency to the highest, even if they were a step faster than others in refining Twelve Streams of Morning Fire, if they didn't get the Recognition of a Radiant Moon Spirit, what use would it be?
It would be better to take on an extra Holy Class that could increase their strength.
But talent Metamorphosis was different. True Radiance and Azure God would concretely bring about an improvement in one's own strength, even leading to a complete Metamorphosis of one's combat system.
"For others, it indeed only looks like it has a huge effect..." Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head, yet his mood grew increasingly joyful: "The other two materials probably can't be gathered in a short time. My current goal is to focus on Morning Star..."
The Azure Deity Metamorphosis didn't have any tier or age requirements. Even after Advancing to Morning Star, one could still attempt the Metamorphosis.
The Unsullied's method had even fewer restrictions, not delaying his advancement.
"I wonder if, after Advancing to Morning Star, I can try to pass that damn second Trial..."
Su Chen remembered the scene of that Bearded Man slapping him to death last time, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The rewards given by that place could be called top-tier. Right now, he hadn't found a second place where he could obtain Mist Source or Origin Fire, as well as Resources to catalyze the Seven-Branch Wondrous Tree.
"After Advancing to Morning Star, I will be able to accommodate the ninth Sky-Scar, thoroughly reaching the highest level of God-Ascension, gaining an 80% boost, equivalent to an extra seven Sky-Scars blessing." Su Chen estimated.
At the Morning Star level, Sky-Scars definitely wouldn't reach the current situation of crushing those of the same tier, but it wasn't without effect; the overall blessing would still be extremely terrifying.
"Plus that Golden Ape, if I imprison it within my body, I should be able to succeed in eight or nine cases out of ten."
Su Chen let out a breath and rapidly entered a development state. He couldn't wait to press that Bearded Man to the ground and rub him.
In a certain giant fortress city floating among the Starry Expanse, entirely pale pink, with many spaceships orbiting around it.
"Sir, your cake..."
A sweet-looking young girl in a pink uniform placed a finely crafted small cake on the open-air table.
"Thank you." The bald man sitting by the table smiled politely, his black turtleneck sweater wrapping up to his neck. He took out a card thin as a cicada's wing and casually tapped a metal button on the girl's waist.
"Thank you for your tip." Hearing the broadcast from her built-in earpiece, the girl's face became even more pleasantly surprised. For some reason, this bald man before her looked ordinary, yet he was exceptionally alluring.
"Calculating the time, I haven't tasted the cake from the 'Dessert Cabin' for twelve thousand three hundred and twenty years." His eyes filled with emotion. He took out a spoon, scooped a spoonful, and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.
"The taste hasn't changed..." The bald man grew increasingly emotional. "Back then, the World-Honored One took me traveling everywhere and would bring me here to eat every so often."
"Martial Uncle Black Buddha is truly nostalgic." On the other side, there was another bald man, but his build was much sturdier.
"How can I not be nostalgic?" Black Buddha muttered in a low voice, a dark light flashing past his eyes.
"It's said that the reason you underwent Corruption back then seems to be because of a woman?" Wushi, sitting opposite him, was quite interested.
"The World-Honored One merely humiliated me... a woman... heh..." Black Buddha chuckled softly, but didn't argue further. He casually turned on his Comms Link, projecting a Holographic Screen.
Today's front-page headline was extremely eye-catching—【The most valuable or the most worthless in history? The number one on the Abyssal Hidden Star Ranking under 30 years old!】
"Su Chen..." Black Buddha scooped another spoonful of cake, staring at the Holographic Screen.
"This person is truly Unimaginable, actually defeating Xu Yingshen."
Wushi naturally also learned of this matter and glanced at Black Buddha, "Martial Uncle has always been active in the Dust Star Sea, have you ever known of this person?"
More than just knowing... Some unpleasant memories surfaced in Black Buddha's mind. His expression was somewhat strange, but he responded, "I've occasionally heard believers report about him. He was quite eye-catching when he was in the Dust Star Sea. I didn't expect that after coming to the Abyssal Void, he would be even more like a Hidden Dragon Emerging from the Abyss."
"Indeed. That such a figure could be born in a small place like the Dust Star Sea." Wushi didn't think much of it, instead mentioning an amusing anecdote: "My predecessor, the Immeasurable Buddha, after learning that this person defeated Tong Zhuo, even suspected if he had any relation to that Taixuan Hong."
"It was only because there's no Taixuan bloodline in High Heaven that he dismissed this Flights of Fancy guess."
Now that Taixuan Hong was dead, and the Five Pillars were fighting tooth and nail over the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith's Chosen, mentioning this now was truly just an amusing anecdote.
Black Buddha remained noncommittal about this, only asking, "Have those Radiant Suns prepared the Source Fire Harvesting Grounds yet?"
Wushi shook his head: "The scale of their demand this time seems to be extremely massive. Even with the help of a few from The Final Ruin, finding a large number of Great Void Realms for Fusion won't be that simple."
Black Buddha pondered: "Source Fire is only born when a Great Void Realm collapses, but the might of a Great Void Realm's collapse is hard even for a Radiant Moon to withstand. They can only use Sun Fire to forcefully fuse them, using the friction between the Void Realms to attempt to catalyze Origin Fire."
"To rebuild the Abyssal Void, the amount of Origin Fire needed is probably extremely massive. Who knows how many Great Void Realms will be needed."
"Who knows." Wushi didn't care. "Those Radiant Suns need to maintain the Fusion of the Great Void Realms and cannot enter to harvest. Only Radiant Moons and Morning Stars can enter it."
"At that time, it will be our opportunity for Incarnation. Which Pillar are you preparing to Incarnate into?"
"What about you?" Black Buddha didn't answer, asking instead.
"Martial Uncle is still so vigilant. I, naturally, am going to Buddha Land." Wushi didn't hide it, smiling faintly. "Once the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith's Chosen is born and the Abyssal Void is rebuilt, the next step is to select a Sovereign."
"Those Radiant Suns definitely have no hope; they definitely have to cultivate the next generation. I have been this frank, is Martial Uncle still going to keep Being Secretive?"
"I just haven't made up my mind yet." Black Buddha shook his head, but his gaze was placed on the two words 'Su Chen' on the Holographic Screen before him.
Wushi was somewhat dissatisfied, saying indifferently, "Incarnation is equivalent to abandoning everything. Martial Uncle had better consider it carefully."
"This is High Heaven?"
At the Heavenly Gate of the Vault, Qing Cang took a step out, looking up to see the incomparably magnificent sight of the Lingxiao Nine Heavens before his eyes, feeling somewhat shocked.
The Bronze Sect's Faith Essence hadn't reached the point of being squandered recklessly. A round trip required 100 Faith Essence, so Qing Cang naturally wouldn't come casually.
"Truly vast and unpredictable..."
There was another person beside him, exactly one of the Heads of Seats of the Bronze Sect, Lin Langtian. At this moment, his pupils reflected those giant landmass plates, looking at the Life Stars revolving around them.
"Hearing others describe it countless times cannot compare to experiencing it personally." Lin Langtian sighed with emotion.
"One day, our Bronze Sect will also have such a grand scene." Qing Cang couldn't help but say, his gaze blazing.
Lin Langtian couldn't help but glance at Qing Cang, Words Caught in One's Throat, and finally didn't speak.
"Junior Brother..."
A voice came from afar. It was impressively Chu Lingyuan, who had been waiting here for a long time. With a flash of his figure, he arrived before the two of them, appearing quite helpless: "You guys finally arrived. I thought the message wasn't passed on."
"We didn't know how long this trip would take, so we had to arrange the work at hand one by one before we could come over with peace of mind." Qing Cang explained.
Chu Lingyuan was also just saying it casually; it wasn't a big deal to begin with. After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, he said, "Please place your hands on my shoulders, you two."
"..."
Qing Cang and Lin Langtian were somewhat puzzled, but they still did as Chu Lingyuan said, placing a hand on his left and right shoulders respectively.
Chu Lingyuan's shoulders moved, and he then summoned the rainbow bridge. With just a step, the scene before the two of them turned upside down.
"This is..." Lin Langtian grew increasingly shocked. With A Slight Stir in One's Heart, he asked, "Is this the rainbow bridge?"
He had naturally communicated with the High Heaven members brought by the other two Heavenly Lords. He had heard them complain a few times that the Bronze Sect's transportation methods were very backward. No matter where they went, it took a very long time, lacking Methods like the rainbow bridge.
He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but after truly experiencing it now, he realized that the gap between them and the Abyssal Void wasn't just reflected in the scale of the core station.
Qing Cang's expression also went into a trance, looking left and right at the Firmament, seemingly looking for where the Heavenly Gate from just now was.
But with his eyesight, he couldn't see it at all, which was enough to prove that the distance between the two was probably extremely vast.
