Ding—Martial Arts System: Upgrade required!
The Martial Arts System then displayed two lines:
Indestructible Golden Body → Immortal Dao Body: 100,000,000,000 upgrade points required!
Immortal Dao Body → Indestructible Dao Body: 1,000,000... (three thousand zeroes) upgrade points required!
When Chen Tian saw all those zeroes, he was utterly dumbfounded...
WTF??? Holy crap!!! For fuck's sake!!!
The Immortal Dao Body was still within the realm of normal numbers—under a trillion! But the Indestructible Dao Body... three thousand zeroes? Seriously?
Could someone with a big enough brain explain what you call a number with three thousand zeroes? I wasn't good at math, so don't try to fool me! Does it really need that much?
Chen Tian looked at his seven hundred billion upgrade points...
Back then, he hadn't even known how to spend all those points! He had thought he could casually sell out the entire Martial Arts System, but after leaving them unused for so long, it had hit him with a huge surprise!
Seven hundred billion—he was still three hundred billion short of upgrading to the Immortal Dao Body!
"System, are you messing with me? Why does it need so much?" Chen Tian said helplessly.
Ding—Martial Arts System: Host, don't speak nonsense. Setting aside the Indestructible Dao Body, even the Immortal Dao Body has nine layers in total. The seventh layer reaches the Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm and allows one to wield the laws through one's own power. When the nine layers return to one, one becomes a Saint!
Ding—Martial Arts System: Of course, ordinary people can reach only the seventh layer at most, which is equivalent to attaining sainthood. Those with exceptional talent and a powerful foundation can reach the Primordial Supreme realm. As for the Indestructible Dao Body, it is even stronger. It has only three layers: the first makes one an immortal, the second a Saint, and the third a Dao. Therefore, everything sold by this system is worth far more than its price!
After hearing this, Chen Tian nodded as well. Indeed, once the first layer of the Indestructible Dao Body was perfectly cultivated, one's physical body would reach the peak of the Great Firmament realm. The second layer would reach the peak of the Saint realm, while the third layer would reach the Dao realm!
Everyone in the Primordial World pursued the Dao—an ultimate Dao. Wasn't the third layer of this technique precisely the ultimate Dao?
And the first Immortal Dao Body was another complete path to sainthood! Although Chen Tian already had two paths to sainthood within him, who would ever think they had too many?
So it made sense that it required so many points.
"But... three thousand zeroes..." When Chen Tian thought of those three thousand zeroes, the corner of his mouth began twitching violently. Even if he sold the entire Primordial World, he still couldn't afford it!
"Forget it, forget it. Didn't that Idle System give me a huge number of spirit roots and spirit fruits at the start? I'll keep the Ten Great Primordial Spirit Roots and sell everything else. How many points can I get?" Chen Tian asked. All the things given by the Idle System were stored in the Myriad Worlds System's space. Even Chen Tian didn't know how much he had.
Ding—Martial Arts System: Very well, Host. Calculating...
Ding—Martial Arts System: Excluding the Yellow Plum and the Primordial Ren Water Peach Tree, the total sale value is 45,875,000,000 upgrade points!
"Thank goodness." Chen Tian let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, his family fortune was substantial enough! Still, he was somewhat shocked. The Idle System had given him more than forty billion points' worth of items?
Idle System: Hmph! You know how great I am now, don't you? Hurry up and invite me out!
Chen Tian: I'll invite your freaking ass!
But to be fair, being idle really was great! As long as you stayed idle and did nothing, all these spirit roots and magic treasures were simply given to you!
How long had it been back then? Only two days!
Was it giving them out by the second? Chen Tian wasn't sure. He only knew that he had to block the Idle System before going to sleep. Otherwise, he couldn't fall asleep. It kept shouting beside his ear, and a lot of the time, several voices overlapped. So yes, the Idle System really was generous.
"Upgrade the Immortal Golden Body into the Immortal Dao Body!" Chen Tian said inwardly.
Ding—Martial Arts System: Very well, Host. One hundred billion upgrade points have been deducted. Upgrading...
Ding—Martial Arts System: Upgrade successful. Fuse the technique?
"Yes!" Chen Tian agreed. Fusion meant thoroughly integrating and mastering the technique. That way, cultivation would become effortless!
Afterward, more characters appeared in Chen Tian's mind. Compared with the ones from earlier, these characters were somewhat lower-level. The earlier characters had been surrounded by Dao runes and were incomparably profound. These ones were still dazzling and carried faint Dao runes, but they were much weaker.
While Chen Tian was comprehending the technique, Fuxi slowly woke up. Seeing that the Three Pure Ones had also opened their eyes, he stood up and cupped his fists. "Greetings..."
"Shh...!"
Before he could finish, Tongtian interrupted him with a silencing gesture and pointed toward Chen Tian and Nüwa. Fuxi nodded, and the four of them left the area for another place.
When they arrived, Laozi waved his whisk, and a pavilion appeared. Yuqing waved his hand, and a pot of tea and several teacups appeared. Tongtian waved his hand, filling the cups with tea, and a faint fragrance spread through the air.
Watching this scene, Fuxi was filled with emotion. His old friends now possessed such profound understanding of the Dao...
Those few seemingly simple gestures contained the Dao-rhythms of three Great Daos. However, compared with Chen Tian, they were indeed much weaker.
But to Fuxi, who had only recently begun comprehending the Great Dao, this was already a miracle.
"Fuxi pays his respects to the three seniors." Fuxi cupped his fists.
He had been formed from the primordial spirit of the Music Dao Fiendcelestial, so he naturally comprehended the Music Dao. His companion spiritual treasure was also a qin, which Fuxi had named the Fuxi Qin.
Before this, he had addressed the Three Pure Ones as fellow Daoists. Now, he had to call them seniors.
But that was only natural. In the Primordial World, strength came first. If you were weak, you had to lower your head! There was no "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" here. Who would wait thirty years for you? In the Primordial World, they would simply kill you without bothering to count the years!
In the Primordial World, strength did indeed come first, but what people cared about most was face! Still, if Laozi humiliated you, would you dare point at his nose and curse him? If you did, you would die!
The weak had no right to speak!
"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, there's no need to be like this," Tongtian said with a straightforward laugh.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Fuxi. We merely took one step ahead of you. Let us continue addressing each other as fellow Daoists," Laozi said, nodding.
Yuanshi was proud by nature, but he still nodded.
Fuxi was not a naive good-natured man like Hongyun, but he was kindhearted. Before this, the Three Pure Ones had shared an excellent relationship with Fuxi, so even the proud Yuanshi agreed to this.
"Then... I'll accept your kindness." Fuxi smiled and looked toward Chen Tian. "I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Tianchen would encounter such an extraordinary opportunity. It's truly rare."
"An opportunity?" The Three Pure Ones were puzzled. They knew nothing about what had happened earlier. After all, there was no need to observe the River of Time over such a minor matter.
"Indeed. Before comprehending the Dao, Fellow Daoist Tianchen said that he had an opportunity waiting for him at Mount Buzhou. I never expected it to be an epiphany!" Fuxi said with emotion.
An epiphany was not something as simple as cultivation. As the saying went, one moment of enlightenment surpassed ten thousand years of bitter cultivation! How could anyone not envy Chen Tian?
"So that's what happened. My disciple possesses great fortune, so encountering such an opportunity is only natural." Tongtian nodded. Fuxi did not know about the four characters on Chen Tian's forehead. The Three Pure Ones, however, knew once they became Quasi-Saints. How could the Son of the Great Dao have poor fortune? Pangu had once been the Son of the Great Dao, and he had been born accompanied by three supreme treasures of chaos: the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Creation Jade Disc, and the Chaos Green Lotus!
That's it for today's update. There won't be another chapter tonight. I'll update again tomorrow.
