"Six thousand Simulation Points, plus the thousand or so I had left before, makes over seven thousand. What should I exchange for?"
Su Yang began weighing the reward exchange options.
He quickly made his decision.
"As for cultivation, my foundation still isn't deep enough. Pass!"
"Although the Short-Lived identity can indirectly improve my talent, it will also reduce the Simulation Points I gain from lifespan in the future. I can only pass on that too."
"The True Yang Spirit Body talent can improve my cultivation talent, matches the attribute of my current main spiritual root, and it's cheap. I can take it."
"The most crucial things are still the Origin Body Refining Techniques and spells. If I exchange for them now, then simulate afterward, I can strive for Golden Cores and Nascent Souls of even higher quality. I must have them,
"Unfortunately, the Third-Order Spell Gift Package is too expensive. I can't afford it, so I can only exchange for the Origin Body Refining Techniques first."
"Lastly, there are the simulated memories. Two hundred points isn't expensive, and I can get an early look at what the Strange Lifeform looks like. Take them."
"As for the rest, they're insignificant. I'll save my Simulation Points."
After analyzing everything, Su Yang immediately said,
"System, exchange for the True Yang Spirit Body talent, all Second-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques, all Third-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques, the Second-Order Spell Gift Package, and simulated memories."
[Exchanging.]
[Exchange successful. 5,820 Simulation Points deducted. Current Simulation Points: 1,289.]
As those words appeared,
Su Yang immediately felt his body undergo a transformation.
His body temperature rose slightly. His flesh, blood, and bones seemed to become denser, but most importantly, his perception of the spiritual energy in the outside world—
With the support of his Genuine Yang Spiritual Root, it became even more exceptional.
Absorbing spiritual energy also became far easier than before.
Su Yang understood that this was because his physique had changed from an ordinary mortal body into a True Yang Spirit Body.
Next, he felt countless insights surge into his mind, while Spell Seeds were born within his dantian.
At the same time, his origin became incomparably profound, increasing by more than tenfold.
"So this is what having six Second-Order Spell Seeds feels like?" A sharp glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.
"With them stabilizing my dantian, it's become much easier to mobilize my mana. The mana I can now draw upon with a single sword strike is at least thirty percent greater than before. More importantly, the nature of my mana has become much sharper."
Su Yang raised a hand, and a strand of Sword Qi shot from his fingertip.
It actually left a scratch on the tea table before him.
"A tea table made from Third-Rank High-Grade Spirit Wood. Though it doesn't possess the defensive strength of living Third-Rank High-Grade Spirit Wood, an ordinary peak Foundation Establishment cultivator could never leave even the slightest mark on it. And I didn't even exert myself."
"In terms of attack power alone, even if I can't compare to a Golden Core cultivator, I shouldn't be far behind."
Su Yang had a rough estimate of his own strength.
"The most important thing is still my origin."
Su Yang's consciousness sank completely into the depths of his body.
Within the boundless darkness, a dazzling golden radiance the size of a basketball flickered.
This was Su Yang's current bodily origin.
His previous bodily origin had already been considered outstanding among Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet it had only been the size of a goose egg.
It was more than ten times smaller than it was now.
"Is the effect of completing Second-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques really this heaven-defying?"
"No, it isn't that the Second-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques are heaven-defying."
Su Yang quickly realized the truth.
What was truly heaven-defying was that, with a Foundation Establishment body, he possessed Third-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques at the major mastery level.
One had to know that spells could only ever be cultivated at one's own realm or lower.
Cultivating spells of a higher realm while at a lower realm was completely impossible.
At least, Su Yang had never heard of such a thing.
Yet with the help of the system, it could be done.
If, while still at Foundation Establishment, he cultivated Third-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques, or even Fourth-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques, to completion or beyond their limits—
Just how profound would his origin become?
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time.
Was a Superior Golden Core truly the limit of Golden Core quality?
Su Yang had once believed so, but he no longer did.
He could entirely possibly form a Perfect Golden Core beyond the Superior grade—or even a Supreme Golden Core.
"Exchanging for Fourth-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques requires far too many Simulation Points. Once I cultivate the Third-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques to completion or beyond their limits, I can try breaking through to the Golden Core realm.
"By then, condensing an Origin Artifact should be effortless, and its quality ought to be a notch higher than that of a Superior Golden Core."
Su Yang made his plans.
Then he sat upright and began absorbing the reward from this exchange that had affected him the most: the simulated memories.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Yang finally steadied his mind.
Perhaps because this simulation had not lasted long, the impact of the simulated memories on him was far less severe than last time.
Yet the value he gained was far greater than before.
For example, the feeling of facing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and methods for dealing with it, as well as the experience of fighting numerous Nascent Souls and even Spirit Transformation cultivators.
These were things simulated text could never fully convey.
Most crucial of all was the appearance of the Strange Lifeform.
After reading the description in the simulation text, Su Yang had originally thought it would be hideous beyond measure.
But after truly learning what such a lifeform looked like,
Su Yang instead felt that although the Strange Lifeform's appearance did not conform to human aesthetics, it possessed an air of nobility and sanctity.
As though it were a lifeform on a higher level than cultivators.
Even female cultivators of peerless beauty would feel ashamed of their own inferiority before it.
"The origins of the Strange Lifeform must be far greater than I imagined."
"The owner of the Pillar of Heaven that brought the Strange Lifeform must also be far more terrifying than I originally guessed."
He had once thought the owner of the Pillar of Heaven was, at most, an eighth- or ninth-order lifeform.
Now, it seemed that might not be all.
At the very least, it must have some connection to the legendary immortals.
Only before things related to immortals
Would cultivators feel that the level of their own lives was vastly inferior.
Otherwise, although the gap between Qi Refinement and Tribulation Transcendence was enormous, the difference was one of strength, not the level of life itself.
"This world actually has immortals. Its waters really run deep!"
Su Yang sighed.
However, this still had little to do with the real him.
Let Simulated Su Yang handle the specific exploration and experimentation.
"Oh, right. The system said it would upgrade after five simulations. I wonder whether it has upgraded successfully now."
Su Yang remembered and hurriedly said, "Open the system panel."
