Blood Moon

To redeem Fist of the Azure Heaven, the required Source Point is 82,734.

Within the Trait Module library, the most expensive gold-tier module requires 99,999.

Sword Master (Gold): The upper limit of basic swordsmanship level is corrected to 10, swordsmanship level cap +10, Sword Dao My Master.

The description for this module is simple, not nearly as complex as Fist of the Azure Heaven.

As for the effect of Sword Dao My Master.

Sword Dao My Master (Gold): All swordsmanship, below gold quality, is directly upgraded to gold. No proficiency required; learned the moment it is viewed, and learning it immediately sets it to the level cap.

The redemption price for the Sword Dao My Master Trait Module is 75,332 Source Point.

Sword Master can be considered an advanced version of Sword Dao My Master, nearing red-tier, yet it has not completed a qualitative change, making it the strongest below red.

Facts have long proven that the shorter the word count, the more ferocious the effect—excluding Sword Seed, of course.

Because for the Trait Module known as Sword Seed, every single word in its description, if taken individually, is a gold-tier talent.

Ten words, ten gold-tier talent effects!

And this is just listing them separately; these effects can even synergize with one another, exerting an effect where 1+1 is greater than 2.

Expensive, naturally, has its reasons!

After all, for such a Trait Module, if Zhao Cheng chose to lie flat and idle, he would have to idle for a full thirty years to have a chance.

And if he really did that, the script would undoubtedly turn into becoming a big shot starting from middle age.

However, if Zhao Cheng really played it that way, he suspects the possibility of his own mind collapsing would be greater than becoming a big shot.

It is like a joke from his previous life: after the computer hardware was updated, the system crashed because the system was "unworthy."

Even if he were lucky enough for his mind not to collapse, he would likely undergo a drastic change in temperament.

Cultivation should be the mutual development of the self and the level of life, rather than a one-sided sprint; having any one aspect become too strong is never a good thing.

The so-called dual cultivation of nature and life is exactly this, just like the Yin and Yang of Taiji.

I just don't know what kind of demeanor a person in this world who possesses the Fist of the Azure Heaven trait would have.

Thinking this, Zhao Cheng opened the search function of the Trait Module interface.

The Panel's Trait Module library is as vast as the sea; if he were to truly look through them one by one, he would likely be old by the time he finished.

Of course, Zhao Cheng does have his own ideas; white and blue ones can be ignored, but purple and above must be viewed when time permits to broaden his horizons.

Zhao Cheng directly searched for "Dark Vision," and a massive amount of text immediately popped up, with the final total result being 134,727.

Zhao Cheng then entered the keyword "Sword," and the results immediately decreased to 3,471.

Seeing this, Zhao Cheng entered the keyword "Clear," and the results instantly decreased by 32.

The gold and purple ones were directly excluded by Zhao Cheng, leaving only thirteen.

In the world, there are many life forms with dark perception capabilities, and as a result, various traits have been derived.

There are quite a few related to the sword, but very few possess the "Clear" effect.

After all, seeing a mosaic is seeing, and 4K high-definition is also seeing, but the two things are completely different matters.

Zhao Cheng is not sure if there is such a thing as dawn in this world, so being prepared is a must.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Zhao Cheng guessed wrong and the sky will brighten in a moment, but it is better to be safe than sorry; by looking at the items first, he has a bottom line in his heart.

Zhao Cheng scanned through the thirteen Trait Modules in a single glance.

All thirteen Trait Modules were blue, and in the end, Zhao Cheng took a liking to one of them: Sword Eye.

Sword Eye (Blue): Losing the four senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste) did not crush you; instead, it caused your spirit to undergo a qualitative change. The desperate desire to "see" this world caused your sense of touch to be infinitely magnified. Combining this touch with your transformed spirit, using the "sword" as a carrier, it manifested as the Sword Eye. From then on, the fluctuations of all things are gathered within your "eyes," re-enacting the "world."

This trait can see the fluctuations of the origin of all things and use them to reconstruct the world; in terms of intensity, it can be said to be the highest among all traits.

In Zhao Cheng's view, even though it is a blue trait, its intensity surpasses many purple traits.

The reason this trait is only blue is because it possesses a rare negative effect: of the five major senses, four are directly discarded to achieve the ultimate strengthening of the fifth and sixth senses. Afterward, using the sword as a carrier, the fifth and sixth senses undergo a strange fusion, which is what gave birth to the so-called Sword Eye.

There is gain in sacrifice; such a huge sacrifice has exchanged for this off-the-charts intensity.

As for the price, this trait only requires 300 Source Point, which can be called high quality at a low price.

The most perfect part is that Zhao Cheng's Trait Modules can be unequipped; he can completely equip them when needed and unequip them when not.

Based on this characteristic, Zhao Cheng could actually wait until his Source Point is abundant in the future to specifically develop several sets of module combinations for different situations.

A cultivation module set focused on cultivation, a combat module set focused on combat, an exploration module set focused on exploration...

As for the current problem, let alone three hundred Source Point, Zhao Cheng does not even have thirty.

Looking at this now, besides being prepared, the more important reason is that he wants to test the truthfulness of the Panel Shop's refresh, which is said to lean toward a direction favorable to him.

Is this "favorable" precise?!

And if he were to roll it, based on the Panel's random discount of one to nine, theoretically, he has a 50% chance of needing less than half the Source Point.

At the speed he accumulates Source Point, it would only be a matter of ten days or so.

The Panel is useful, but it is not intelligent enough, nor does it have an instruction manual; many parts are described very vaguely.

After reviewing the traits, Zhao Cheng glanced at the Simulation Point interface in the Shop, which was, as expected, still empty.

Having dealt with the Panel, Zhao Cheng had no intention of idling. Of course, exploring this area blindly was out of the question; while he was not lacking in courage, he had no desire to seek out unnecessary thrills. If he were to accidentally stumble upon something bizarre, that would be a thrill he could do without.

Zhao Cheng decided to practice his swordsmanship. He had already prepared for the worst: if this world remained devoid of light, he would practice until he dropped dead from exhaustion.

When that time came, he would ensure at least one simulation per day to first improve his swordsmanship. Once he had saved up enough Source Point, he would exchange for Sword Eye and then turn back to explore this world to find a way to clear it.

In a dozen days or so, given his current talent and frantic training, he had a chance to raise his swordsmanship to lv10, which would open up a whole new world.

Swish!

In the darkness, the blade of Wind Severing cut through the air, emitting a sharp sound.

In a dark environment, one's sense of time becomes blurred, and it is incredibly easy for fear to take root.

Even for Zhao Cheng, with his current mental fortitude, being suddenly thrust into a strange environment—even knowing it was just a simulation—meant that a faint sense of fear had accumulated in his heart as time passed.

This situation was much like playing a horror game alone; even knowing the monsters in the game could not reach reality, one still felt the fear.

However, as Zhao Cheng began to swing his sword, the fear in his heart faded with every strike, until finally, it vanished entirely, leaving only a state of mind as calm as still water.

The darkness did not become an obstacle; instead, it allowed Zhao Cheng to focus even more intensely!

In a sense, the "fear" brought by the darkness had transformed into a fuel, propelling Zhao Cheng's growth.

In ancient times, many monks and Taoists practiced swordsmanship on the edges of cliffs, where a single misstep meant eternal damnation, using that sense of fear to stimulate their potential.

Zhao Cheng's current predicament was somewhat similar to that.

Such a form of cultivation was known in ancient times as Stealing Heavenly Secrets!

Stealing from Heaven to achieve greatness, wagering one's life to accomplish what others could not.

Time was passing, yet the space here seemed to have frozen, eternal and motionless. Only the proficiency +1 slowly refreshing in the Panel Log proved that time was indeed flowing.

Until a certain moment, when suddenly, a streak of blood-red light appeared on the horizon. Shortly thereafter, a Blood Moon appeared in the sky, reflecting into Zhao Cheng's eyes.

The change had finally arrived!
