Chapter 308 Digestion and Reflection
"Start the lottery?" the system's cold voice sounded again.
"start!"
As soon as Bai Ke finished speaking, the obsidian pointer began to spin rapidly, and Bai Ke watched the dial intently...
The speed of the spinning wheel gradually slowed down, and the pointer finally stopped in the jade bottle area, pointing to a small area engraved with a pill.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a mid-grade fifth-rank pill—the Nascent Soul Pill. Would you like to continue with the lottery?"
"continue."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special item—the Soul Devouring Token!"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the rankless divine power - Peerless Ocean."
"【Nascent Soul Pill】: A mid-grade fifth-rank pill. Taking it when breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm can increase the success rate."
"【Soul Devouring Token】: A special type of auxiliary item, which can only be used on soul-form creatures. It can store and devour soul power to improve one's own cultivation."
"【Peerless Glory】: Eye Technique. After activation, staring directly into the enemy's eyes will cause them to fall into an illusion that lasts for ten minutes. If this process is not interrupted by other factors, it will have a second effect—damaging the soul and sealing spiritual power."
Bai Ke put the Nascent Soul Pill and the Soul Devouring Token back into the Azure Sky Ring, and then browsed through the usage of the new pupil technique in his mind.
He first tried to activate the Peerless Ocean technique by opening his own eyes, and then opened his Heavenly Eye and circulated it again. He was surprised to find that the Heavenly Eye had a very high enhancement to pupil techniques and supernatural abilities, with the effect being almost twice as good as using his eyes.
With a delightful harvest, Bai Ke couldn't wait to immerse his consciousness in the system space and head straight for the martial arts hall.
In this battle outside the Heavenly Palace, Bai Ke's biggest gains were in unleashing the Blood Refining Explosion and the improved version of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
While resisting Huang Huozi's powerful attacks, Bai Ke discovered that energy-type spells were basically ineffective against his Finger Flicking Divine Skill. When he was driven to the brink of despair, he unleashed a secret technique modified from the world of Tian Long Ba Bu—the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
As an authentic martial arts skill rewarded by the system, its effects are remarkable after being improved by Bai Ke.
The moment he unleashed it, Bai Ke felt his nearly depleted spiritual energy surge forth from his dantian like a gushing spring, his mind was in a state of high excitement, and his physical functions were pushed to their limits.
This is the powerful effect of unleashing the greatest potential in the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
Next, Bai Ke redirected the power of the shockwave, then absorbed it into his body to accumulate energy. He then copied Huang Huozi's move and sent it back at him. The finger-flicking technique that was sent back also contained Bai Ke's multi-attribute spiritual power, so its power was increased even more.
Although he was ultimately defeated by the powerful Huanghuozi with a single punch, it was already incredible that Bai Ke was able to defuse the attack.
Not to mention that he launched an even more powerful counterattack. If it were a cultivator of the same realm, or even a Nascent Soul or Void Returning stage cultivator, such an attack would at least result in severe injury, or at worst, complete annihilation.
Furthermore, the Blood Refining Explosion is indeed incredibly powerful, but it also consumes a tremendous amount of spiritual energy and mental strength. Even though Bai Ke has broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with his divine soul power growing stronger and his spiritual energy reserves expanding, he can only unleash it about four times at most before his spiritual energy is completely drained.
After successfully cultivating the first level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art, Bai Ke's split soul, which had been cultivating the second level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art, also made a breakthrough.
He demonstrated the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, the second level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Skill, and the Peerless Martial Arts Hall's nameless phantom in turn, gaining a new experience with these supernatural powers and skills.
Undoubtedly, Bai Ke is very strong now, able to contend with those at the early stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm while only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, he is also repeatedly pondering some of the problems that exist within himself.
Looking at Bai Ke's combat strength, the Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture, the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art, the Lesser Evolutionary Path he cultivates, and his 1% dragon bloodline all provide extremely high enhancements to his physical strength.
With his physical combat prowess alone, Bai Ke was capable of crossing a major realm to contend with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection.
After experiencing battles with high-level cultivators like Huang Huozi, the problem of the relatively low power of most martial arts or Taoist techniques became apparent.
Currently, there are only a handful of supernatural abilities and secret techniques that can play a significant role in high-level battles and still have the potential for growth.
Supernatural abilities include Immortal Crossing, Heavenly Eye, and Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao, while martial arts might only include the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and the Heart-Shattering Sword.
He still doesn't have enough methods. He's not the kind of cultivator who can defeat everyone with a single move. His current combat strength relies on the power of his physical body and the unpredictability of his Daoist techniques and supernatural abilities. These two factors combined are the foundation of his strength.
After the coronation ceremony of the Holy Son, Bai Ke will assume the position of acting sect leader. At that time, he will definitely take this great opportunity to completely eliminate Xing Jian and Gong Yu's faction, so that Tian Ce Palace will no longer have any forces to hinder him.
No matter what strategy is adopted, battle will be inevitable.
As the head of Tiandu Peak, Gong Yu is frequently summoned to carry out missions. Although he has stagnated at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm for many years, his foundation is profound and his combat experience is extremely rich, making him a force to be reckoned with.
To ensure the cleanup operation is carried out thoroughly, Bai Ke needs to investigate Gong Yu's situation beforehand and then carefully plan and strategize.
However, Bai Ke also knew that strength was the only true measure of success, so after thinking it over, he directly summoned the system:
"System, I want to purchase a Taoist technique that can fully utilize my physical strength. Can you recommend one?"
"Host request received. Searching the system store..."
"Search complete. The following three secret techniques and supernatural abilities best suit the host's requirements—"
[White Tiger Immortal Technique]: Low-grade Earth Rank secret technique. Can be used in conjunction with the second level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art, "Transforming Qi into Form," to condense the power of the divine beast White Tiger and enhance the physical body, inherently possessing metal-attribute damage. Price: 5000 Evil Points.
[Nine Transformations of Blood Qi]: A mid-grade Earth-rank secret technique. Each transformation doubles the increase in blood qi; nine transformations unleash overwhelming blood qi. It can be used in conjunction with Blood Refinement and Explosion for exceptional effects. Price: 100000 Evil Points.
[Shifting Stars]: Created by Murong Longcheng, a martial art without a rank. It can be used in conjunction with the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, or fused with other techniques through the Great Dao Furnace; the effects are unknown. Price: 10000 Evil Points.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ke said:
"Give me the Nine Transformations of Blood Qi and the Shifting Stars, and exchange another 200 days of cultivation space time for me and send me into the cultivation space."
"The host has consumed a total of 310000 evil points. After deduction, the remaining evil points are 180500. Thank you for your patronage. The teleportation will begin soon. The All-Heavens Villain System is at your service!"
Bai Ke felt a blur before his eyes, and his consciousness projection in the system space was transported to the cultivation space.
He calmed himself down, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend the secret techniques and arts together with his divided soul...
