Miracle Passive

Early morning.

Tianhun City Inn.

Quan Cangtian sat on the bed.

Zixiao stood guard beside him. The Thunder Light Sword lay horizontally across her knees, and she closed her eyes, but she did not sleep.

Quan Cangtian closed his eyes.

He sensed the changes within his body.

Path of Destruction. Black and red. In the left chest. The Seed of Destruction pulsed.

Path of Abundance. Emerald green. In the right chest. The Star God Seed pulsed.

Path of Elation. Colorful. In the dantian. The power grafted by the Envoy of Elation.

Three strands of power circulated within his body.

Yet he sensed a new power.

Very faint.

Like starlight.

Gleaming within the Path Rift.

He recalled the words of the Envoy of Elation.

"Your current strength is not enough to enter."

Yet he had entered.

Why?

He sensed the Seed of Destruction in his left chest.

He sensed the Star God Seed in his right chest.

The two Star God Seeds pulsed.

The power they provided.

Though insufficient to autonomously enter the Path Rift.

Was enough to support the entry of his consciousness.

I see.

The power of the Star God Seeds.

Allowed him to enter.

Sunlight shone in through the window.

Falling upon his palm.

Quan Cangtian closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into the Path Rift.

Beneath his feet lay black ground.

Above his head spread the starry sky.

Yet he noticed.

A single star was flickering.

Silver-white.

Very bright.

He walked toward it.

The star cast a patch of light upon the ground.

Words lay within the light.

Autonomous Cultivation.

Autonomous Adaptation.

Soul Power Critical Strike.

Quan Cangtian looked at those words.

He felt a stream of information flood into his mind.

This was a Miracle Trait.

It did not belong to Elation.

It did not belong to Destruction.

It did not belong to Abundance.

It was a certain kind of "miracle".

He understood.

Autonomous Cultivation: The Path Rift would automatically absorb the power of the paths and Honkai Energy, converting them into soul power.

Autonomous Adaptation: The Path Rift would automatically adapt to his body, optimizing the circulation of soul power.

Soul Power Critical Strike: There was a certain probability of triggering a soul power critical strike, instantaneously boosting soul power.

Yet these abilities were currently very weak.

The speed of Autonomous Cultivation was very slow.

The effect of Autonomous Adaptation was extremely faint.

The probability of a Soul Power Critical Strike was very low.

Quan Cangtian perceived the Path Rift.

He discovered that the Path Rift was absorbing energy.

It was the power of the paths.

It was Honkai Energy.

After these two types of energy were localized to Douluo Mainland.

They existed just like soul power.

Pervading the heaven and earth.

The Path Rift would automatically absorb these energies.

Converting them into his soul power.

The silver-white star flickered overhead.

Like an eye.

Quan Cangtian withdrew from the Path Rift.

He opened his eyes.

He felt soul power circulating within his body.

The black and red soul power of the Path of Destruction.

The emerald green soul power of the Path of Abundance.

The colorful soul power of the Path of Elation.

And that strand of silver-white Miracle Power.

Four strands of power intertwined within his body.

Suddenly.

He felt a surge of impact.

Rushing from his dantian to all his limbs and bones.

Soul Power Critical Strike.

He felt his soul power surge explosively.

Level 16.

Level 17.

Level 18.

Level 19.

Level 20.

Level 21.

He broke through.

Quan Cangtian sat on the bed.

His breathing was slightly hurried.

He knew this was the first trigger of the Miracle Trait.

The probability was less than 0.001%.

This was a beginner's bonus.

It would be very difficult to trigger again in the future.

Yet he had already broken through.

From Level 16 to Level 21.

Four kinds of brilliance intertwined within his body.

Like fireworks.

Quan Cangtian felt the changes within his body.

It was not merely an increase in soul power.

His two Martial Souls were vibrating.

Destruction Martial Soul: A black and red collapsing nebula.

Abundance Martial Soul: An emerald green sapling.

The two Martial Souls vibrated within the Path Rift.

Then.

Soul rings began to condense around the Destruction Martial Soul.

Bright golden.

Without age limits.

Soul rings also began to condense around the Abundance Martial Soul.

Emerald green.

Without age limits.

The two second soul rings were condensing.

The soul ring condensation completed.

Quan Cangtian felt a stream of information flood into his mind.

This was the second-layer talent.

The soul ring was merely a key.

The key to unlock the talent.

Destruction Second Soul Ring.

To the Death.

Source: Arlan.

Passive: The more health points lost, the higher the damage dealt.

Damage increases by 5% for every 10% health lost.

Capped at 50%.

In line with "motion is the way of the reverse".

Abundance Second Soul Ring.

Vital Breath.

Source: Bailu.

Active: Affixes the [Vital Breath] state to a teammate, lasting for 30 seconds.

Automatically restores 5% of max health when hit.

Triggers once per hit.

Triggers a maximum of 5 times.

The bright golden and emerald green soul rings intertwined within his body.

Like Tai Chi.

Zixiao sensed the change in Quan Cangtian's aura.

She opened her eyes.

Looking at him.

Quan Cangtian's body was glowing.

Black and red, emerald green, colorful, silver-white.

Four types of brilliance intertwined.

Then.

The brilliance receded.

Quan Cangtian opened his eyes.

He felt that the soul power within his body was much stronger than before.

Level 21.

Zixiao spoke.

"You broke through?"

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"Level 21."

"The second soul ring?"

"Mhm."

"What talent?"

"To the death, vital breath."

Zixiao fell silent.

She knew Quan Cangtian's soul rings did not require hunting soul beasts.

She knew Quan Cangtian's soul rings condensed automatically.

She knew soul rings were merely keys, keys to unlock talents.

Yet she still felt.

Quan Cangtian was different from ordinary people.

He walked his own path.

Sunlight shone in from outside the window.

Shining on the two of them.

Quan Batian walked into the room.

He sensed the change in Quan Cangtian's aura.

From level 16 to level 21.

He looked at Quan Cangtian.

Quan Cangtian explained the situation.

The mutation of the Path of Elation.

The Miracle Trait.

Autonomous Cultivation.

Autonomous Adaptation.

Soul Power Critical Strike.

The condensation of the second soul rings for both martial souls.

The unlocking of the second-tier talent.

After listening, Quan Batian.

Fell silent.

He looked at Quan Cangtian.

"The mutation of the Path of Elation?"

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"The Miracle Trait?"

Quan Cangtian nodded.

Quan Batian fell silent.

He walked over to the window.

Looking out at the scenery outside.

"This is not elation."

He paused.

"This is Aha's Blessing."

"Randomly bestowed."

"You have good luck."

He paused.

"But Aha's Blessing is not given for free."

"With power comes a price."

Sunlight shone in from outside the window.

Shining on Quan Batian's face.

Night.

Tianhun City inn.

Quan Cangtian sat by the window.

He sensed the aura of the Dark Soul Cult approaching.

Just like before.

Yet now he was no longer afraid.

His soul power broke through from level 16 to level 21.

The second soul rings of both martial souls were condensing.

The second-tier talent unlocked.

He possessed the Miracle Trait.

Autonomous Cultivation.

Autonomous Adaptation.

Soul Power Critical Strike.

He clenched his fist.

The dark red crystal beneath his palm remained.

Yet it felt different.

As if it were wrapped by something.

A silvery-white light.

Very thin.

Yet present.

Zixiao sat beside him.

The Thunder Light Sword lay across her knees.

She looked at him.

"You have changed."

Quan Cangtian.

"Mhm."

"Stronger."

"Mhm."

"Yet the Dark Soul Cult is also changing."

Quan Cangtian looked at her.

Zixiao.

"They are waiting for you."

Quan Cangtian.

"Waiting for me to do what?"

"Waiting for you to grow stronger."

She paused.

"Then kill you."

Quan Cangtian did not speak.

He looked out the window.

The night lights of Tianhun City flickered in the distance.

Zixiao's lightning sparked across the sword body.

Very lightly.

Very steadily.

She said nothing.

Yet she sat beside him.

This was her answer.

Quan Cangtian looked out the window.

The night wind blew in.

Carrying a hint of chill.

The Dark Soul Cult was waiting for him to grow stronger.

Then kill him.

Yet he would grow even stronger.

Strong enough that they could not kill him.

Strong enough that he could choose.

Whether to become whose chess piece.

Or to become himself.

Outside the window, the lights of Tianhun City flickered in the distance.

A new day was coming.

A new battle was coming.

Quan Cangtian clenched his fist.

The bright golden soul ring circulated within his body.

The emerald green soul ring circulated within his body.

To the death.

Vital breath.

Two new talents.

Two new paths.

He looked at Zixiao.

"Tomorrow, Huo Yuhao begins learning Secondary Awakening."

Zixiao nodded.

"Mhm."

"I will go take a look."

"Alright."

The two sat by the window.

Unspeaking.

Yet each knew in their hearts.

A new phase was beginning.

Huo Yuhao learning Secondary Awakening.

The Dark Soul Cult closing in.

Quan Cangtian breaking through to level 21.

The Miracle Trait awakening.

Everything was changing.

Everything was moving forward.

And they.

Only needed to keep walking.
