Chapter 453
Xiao Minghuang smiled faintly and regained her composure.
Over the past few years, Ye Ruoshui and the other five women have taken turns cultivating with her every night. Today it was Xu Xiuer's turn, but she refused her, so of course she had to make amends.
Then, she turned her attention back to the system and checked each item one by one.
Most of these system prompts contain irrelevant information.
In fact, she stopped giving gifts a long time ago.
However, the improvement in cultivation levels of Ye Ruoshui and the other five women during this period was closely related to her, or even directly related, and they received considerable compensation and rewards as a result.
Xiao Minghuang roughly calculated that these compensations and rewards combined should be enough to raise her cultivation level by four or five hundred tribulations.
Don't underestimate these four or five hundred kalpas.
This could raise the realm of a Celestial King by four or five hundred tribulations in one go!
Even the Longevity Heavenly Venerable Primordial Immortal Crystal could not achieve this effect!
"Sigh, I should have given the Primordial Immortal Crystal to Ruoshui and the others back then, what a pity..."
A hint of regret appeared on Xiao Minghuang's face.
A single Primordial Immortal Crystal would raise her cultivation level by one hundred tribulations. Even if she only triggered the five-fold guarantee, her cultivation level would still increase by five hundred tribulations!
However, she didn't dwell on her frustration.
"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate."
Xiao Minghuang shook her head, no longer thinking about it.
It wasn't until late at night that she finally read through all the system notifications.
Interspersed among these were some system maintenance and upgrade notifications.
The general idea is that because the host's realm has improved, the opportunities they encounter can no longer be measured in terms of multipliers, and therefore, they will no longer be compensated or rewarded in the form of multipliers.
At the same time, all forms of opportunity compensation are unified and divided into three forms: cultivation level, magic weapon, and divine object.
The first two are self-explanatory. Divine objects include, but are not limited to, Chaos Rare Treasure, any kind of Innate Power, and other strange things that Xiao Minghuang has not yet thought of.
In addition, the system has added a very important function: compensation accumulation, conversion and upgrade, and redemption lottery function.
Whether it's a gift or a return, or a chance encounter that Ye Ruoshui and other contractors gain and form a connection with her, all forms of compensation can be left aside and accumulated.
As the accumulated compensation increases and reaches a certain level, it can be upgraded and redeemed for a chance to win a prize.
This could potentially yield a Chaos Rare Treasure, or some extremely powerful Innate Power!
"So this is what happens when compensation is given away, and it turns into a cumulative lottery..."
Although the system said a lot, Xiao Minghuang grasped the key points at a glance.
Of course, she can also choose not to accumulate conversions and upgrades, but instead receive separate compensation directly.
Now, Xiao Minghuang is facing a choice.
She has now accumulated about four or five hundred kalpas of cultivation to improve her power, and can choose to transform and upgrade it. She may obtain a powerful Chaos Rare Treasure or some kind of mysterious Innate Power.
Without much deliberation, Xiao Minghuang quickly made her decision.
"There's still a strange suction force within me. If I choose to increase my cultivation, who knows what might happen? I'd better choose the lottery!"
"System, convert all my accumulated compensation rewards into a lottery draw opportunity!"
Xiao Minghuang spoke without hesitation.
The words had barely left his mouth.
[Ding! Accumulated compensation has been successfully converted into an upgrade, which can be redeemed for one lottery draw;]
[Lottery draw successful. Please choose one of the following options as your reward:]
[1. One thousand Bandit Cultivator;]
[2. A Primordial Violet Qi;]
[3. Selectable form of Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo.]
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Minghuang's eyes; compared to the other two options, a thousand Bandit Cultivator was utterly unappealing.
"The Primordial Violet Qi..."
She knew that this was an Innate Power that transcended all the Cosmic Great Dao, similar to the primordial chaos, but she couldn't judge which was higher or lower in terms of level.
After much deliberation, Xiao Minghuang chose the third option.
"Although it's just Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo, it can be customized in form. Perhaps I can use it to forge an Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure that perfectly suits me!"
Xiao Minghuang pondered deeply. She knew that Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure were supreme magical artifacts on par with Heavenly Venerables. If she could possess an Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure, she would be virtually invincible in the Immortal King realm!
"System, I choose the third option!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
With a soft hum, ripples appeared in the void before her, and a golden image slowly emerged, radiating brilliant divine light.
As the album is turned, a sense of Primordial Era antiquity surges forth, as if it has traversed the long river of time, breaking through numerous obstacles to arrive here.
552. The Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure! The Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart!
"Hiss..."
Even with Xiao Minghuang's exceptionally strong will, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, her eyes narrowing slightly.
The oppressive aura contained in this painting made her feel faintly suffocated, almost as if she were facing the Longevity Heavenly Venerable directly.
Xiao Minghuang squinted as she looked at the catalog, but found no text or images.
"It really is an embryo; there's nothing inside..."
Xiao Minghuang raised her right hand, her palm radiating starlight, and pressed it onto the picture book. Instantly, the golden picture book emitted an even more intense divine light.
Another Celestial King.
The entire void trembled, as if it could not withstand its power.
"Um?"
Just then, she felt an immense and boundless power flow into her body.
The next moment.
The picture book that radiated divine light suddenly disappeared, and everything around returned to calm.
Xiao Minghuang stood quietly, her expression unchanged.
Within her inner world, a catalog hangs high in the sky, radiating boundless light that illuminates the heavens and earth, vast and unfathomable.
As the scroll unfolds, it resembles a vast celestial curtain stretching across the heavens and earth, enveloping the entire universe.
Xiao Minghuang closed her eyes, silently trying to comprehend the mysteries of the scroll.
Gradually, she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.
"How powerful! Even as a mere Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo, it possesses the terrifying power to suppress all heavens..."
Xiao Minghuang murmured to herself. Of course she knew that this picture was just an embryo. She needed to integrate her own Immortal Dao Law and her own Great Dao with it, and continuously add divine materials and immortal gold, before it could be truly sublimated into a complete and flawless immortal Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure!
But in any case, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Immediately, Xiao Minghuang's mind stirred, and the All Heavens Past Star Dao within his body resonated in unison, like a meteor shower that filled the sky and disappeared into the vast celestial canopy.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The curtain trembled violently, and endless runes shone with divine light, sparkling with starlight and flourishing in abundance. Each beam of starlight and each rune represented an ancient world that had died over countless years.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Minghuang groaned, spitting out blood, her delicate body trembling violently, almost collapsing to the ground.
Just now, she activated the Star Dao, pouring all her strength into the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo, forcibly fusing it. Although it was somewhat effective, it also caused her some backlash.
"It seems I really can't remember this. I'll have to take it slowly..."
Xiao Minghuang wiped away the golden immortal blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth and circulated her Immortal Dao Law to calm her breathing.
However, her approach was indeed effective.
At this moment, her inner world...
On that colossal screen stretching across the sky, stars rise and fall, twinkling and glittering, dazzling and infinitely abundant, seemingly reflecting a real universe!
One after another, the Milky Ways intertwine, outlining a mysterious and indescribable trajectory, as if at the beginning of the world, everything was composed of immortal stars!
Strands of starlight fell from the sky, like a silver waterfall or a galaxy falling, dazzling, beautiful, and breathtaking.
This scene is so beautiful.
"Call!"
Xiao Minghuang let out a soft breath, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Let's name this 'Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart,' the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo!"
The choice of her name reflects her Star Dao and also shows that she has never forgotten her original intentions.
This Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo will, over time, become increasingly aligned with her Dao, until it becomes a unique natal magic weapon.
Xiao Minghuang composed herself, and in a flash, realized that more than ten days had passed.
"I had planned to go for a walk with Xiu'er, but I didn't expect it to take so long."
Xiao Minghuang gave a wry smile and prepared to set off to find Xu Xiuer.
But at this time...
She suddenly noticed footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, followed by Ye Ruoshui's voice.
"Your Highness, the Penglai Fellow Daoist says he has urgent business to discuss!"
"Yes, come in!"
Xiao Minghuang gave the order calmly.
Squeak~
The courtyard gate opened, Ye Ruoshui stepped in.
Behind her stood the Penglai Immortal Lord.
"Greetings, Celestial King!"
The Penglai Immortal Lord bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities, what is it?"
The Penglai Immortal Lord said, "Reporting to the Immortal King, a few days ago, an Immortal Lord approached the outer edge of the star field, claiming to be an envoy of the Lifeng Immortal King, who came to establish friendly relations with the Immortal King. I inquired about some information from him, and he doesn't seem to be a fraud."
As she spoke, she took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Minghuang.
"It is said that this is a handwritten letter from the Lifeng Immortal King."
Xiao Minghuang took the letter and unfolded it.
Instantly, a dense aura of Immortal King Law emanated, filling the void, and for a moment, the air seemed to become heavier.
However, this Celestial King's Law was not offensive and quickly dissipated naturally.
Xiao Minghuang glanced at the letter, his brows furrowing slightly.
The information above is indeed from Lifeng Immortal King. Aside from some polite words, it roughly means that Lifeng Immortal King wants to form an alliance with Ziwei Immortal King to jointly fight against another immortal kingdom in the nearby star field and has indicated that she will offer conditions that will satisfy her.
In addition, Lifeng Immortal King also invited Ziwei Immortal King to participate in the Star River Merchant Alliance Grand Auction to be held in the Lifeng Star Domain.
"Star River Merchant Alliance Grand Auction?"
Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and asked.
"Your Highness, the Star River Merchant Alliance is a very large merchant organization with branches throughout the universe and the Thirty-three Heavens. Not long ago, they also sent people to the Ziwei Star Domain, intending to set up a branch in the Ziwei Main Realm. I haven't replied to them yet."
Ye Ruoshui said.
