[Name]: Li Yang
[Birthplace]: Primordial Wilderness
[Lineage]: Immortal Crossing Sect
[Cultivation]: Peak of the Origin Immortal Stage
[Realm]: Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm
[Entry 1]: Work-Life Balance (The longer the rest period, the better the cultivation results. Current rest period: 4 ke)
[Entry 2]: Late Bloomer (The older you are, the higher your comprehension and the better your cultivation results. Current age: 18)
[Entry 3]: Locked (Unlocks at the Golden Immortal Stage)
"???"
After reading the panel, Li Yang was left with a head full of question marks.
The panel had gained a new [Realm] field. That meant that from now on, realm and cultivation were separate things.
That was a good change. The same was true in the Primordial Wilderness, though most people's cultivation was higher than their realm. That was why people could suffer severe injuries that caused their cultivation to fall, or have their cultivation stripped away.
Even when people spoke of being knocked down a realm, they weren't actually losing a realm—they were losing cultivation.
Li Yang rubbed his chin, deep in thought. This change wouldn't affect him much for now, so he focused on the newly added entry.
[Late Bloomer: The older you are, the higher your comprehension and the better your cultivation results. Current age: 18.]
There was no doubt about it: this entry became more beneficial the older he got.
Its most outrageous feature was simple: his comprehension could keep increasing.
Even if it only increased a little each year, after hundreds of millions of years, his comprehension would reach a terrifying level.
And that wasn't even the most outrageous part. Li Yang also had the [Work-Life Balance] entry.
Together, the two entries would make the effect even more terrifying.
In fact, they might not even add together. They might multiply.
Li Yang looked at the rest time displayed after the [Work-Life Balance] entry, thought for a moment, then shook his head.
The time was too short. He needed to accumulate more rest time to test whether the two entries added together or multiplied.
When he saw that Entry 3 could only be unlocked at the Golden Immortal Stage, his brow furrowed.
This is different from what I initially thought. True Immortals and Celestial Immortals don't have entries at all.
That means I've lost out on two entries.
There aren't many realms in the Immortal stages to begin with. After Golden Immortals comes Daluo, and after Daluo comes Primordial Chaos Limitless.
Who knows what the requirement for the next entry will be?
What if it's Primordial Chaos Limitless? Wouldn't that be a disaster?
If that's the case, then the Golden Immortal Stage will be my last entry!!!
Li Yang frowned deeply. The happiness he'd felt at breaking through and gaining a new entry had already vanished.
But soon, he drove away that trace of frustration.
Forget it. If I have fewer entries, so be it. At least they're powerful. Gaining them is my good fortune; losing them is fate. I can't expect to claim every benefit for myself.
These two entries were already outrageous. What more could he ask for?
Still, he felt a faint sense of disappointment. The Entry Panel had given him a huge hope, but unfortunately, it wasn't one entry per tier—not even one entry per realm.
Wait, maybe I've figured out the problem.
Li Yang suddenly remembered that he'd gained his first entry after successfully refining Qi, his second at the Origin Immortal Stage, and his third would unlock at the Golden Immortal Stage.
Then what's the connection between them?
Li Yang pondered for a moment, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
Perhaps it's a transformation in the level of life!
If my guess is right, then Golden Immortals, Origin Immortals, True Immortals, and Celestial Immortals aren't even the same species.
As Li Yang made this bold hypothesis, ideas began to form about how to create Golden Pill clones at the Golden Immortal Stage.
He'd only just begun, but that was still much better than before, when he'd only comprehended up to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.
Indeed, during those two months of rapid breakthroughs, he'd also comprehended and advanced his [Golden Pill] Cloning Technique to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.
In theory, given enough time or materials, he could mass-produce Heavenly Immortal [Golden Pill] clones.
That would be extraordinary. So many clones would provide an unimaginable boost to the Shelter Grotto-Heaven.
Indeed, by the same principle, the sanctuary space he'd opened up using a simplified version of [Gourd Heaven] had drawn closer to becoming a basic Cavern Heaven as his realm advanced and his comprehension of the Great Dao deepened. It was now just one step away.
That was because the current [Gourd Heaven] technique was no longer merely a divine art for creating space. It was now a method for opening up a Cavern Heaven.
If the Heavenly Immortal clone, with a Star Stone fused into it, hangs above the sanctuary and can form a basic Cavern Heaven of its own, then my sanctuary...
Li Yang's mind churned. Countless ideas and inspirations kept surging forth ever since he'd become an immortal.
That had never happened before, because his cultivation and realm had limited his productivity.
But now, the shackles on his productivity were gone.
Then it's time to refine Star Stone Golden Pill clones.
A single Origin Immortal [Golden Pill] clone capable of converting the power of the void needed only a small piece of Star Stone fused into it.
And although the Star Stone he'd mined in Northern Juru Continent came from only two small lodes, it was still enough to make thirty thousand clones.
But I can't just wait for them to evolve slowly. I should push them straight to the Origin Immortal Stage.
With that thought, Li Yang looked at the Alchemy Furnace and the many Return to Dao-stage [Golden Pill] clones inside the sanctuary space.
Perfect. My previous calculations already gave me a new method for upgrading them. This time, I'll fuse in Star Stone and take these clones straight from the Return to Dao stage to the Origin Immortal Stage.
And with tens of thousands of Immortal Pills nourishing it, this Alchemy Furnace can be upgraded to a Top-grade Magic Treasure. I can even try to transform it into a Postcelestial Low-grade Numinous Treasure.
Li Yang was making plans, but before he could leave the site of his Tribulation Transcendence, someone came rushing over excitedly.
After all, the commotion caused by his tribulation had been enormous. Immortals and Qi Practitioners from thousands of miles around had been drawn by the Thunder Tribulation.
Anyone who could make a living in Northern Juru Continent was no pushover.
And those who dared come here were even less likely to be harmless.
"There's no grand formation, but there was celestial music just now. That means this person succeeded in his tribulation."
"The Thirty-Two Ferocities, Eight Extremes, Eight Desolations Summoning Immortals Tribulation is the fourth-ranked Immortal Ascension Tribulation in the Primordial Wilderness. This person must be powerful..."
He didn't finish the sentence, but his meaning was clear: they couldn't afford to provoke this person.
But there were always some who weren't willing to give up. "He may be powerful, but he's only an Origin Immortal who just passed his tribulation. He won't have many immortal techniques at his disposal. He might even be gravely injured—or perhaps he has a Spiritual Treasure or something. If we can get our hands on it..."
At that, greed stirred in the hearts of several people.
After all, the fact that someone had undergone tribulation in such a desolate place said a lot.
He was a Loose Immortal with no backing or connections, but he must have had some great opportunity—and perhaps Immortal Pills or Spiritual Treasures.
If they took him down, his Immortal Pills, Spiritual Treasures, cultivation techniques, and even his Immortal Body, Divine Soul, and Immortal Infant would all be valuable.
"There's no sign of a formation at the tribulation site. That means he's not skilled in formations. Set up a trapping formation around a hundred-mile radius, find him, and the opportunity will be ours."
Greed gleamed in the eyes of the assembled immortals and Qi Practitioners. They coveted Li Yang's opportunity, but they were just as tempted by the companions beside them, most of whom they barely knew.
What if...
Let's just say, what if...
