[[Qi Refining Limit-Breaking, eleven thousand four hundred layers], anomalies, taking stock of the gains]

[You were almost certain your guess was right, but why was this happening?]

[By all rights, [Golden talent: Listening] should not have had such a flaw.]

[Could it be... because their [Golden Fingers] were higher-level than it?]

[You thought it was possible, but not quite accurate.]

[You turned it over in your mind, but still could not make heads or tails of it.]

[Helpless, you could only set that question aside for now and turn to taking stock of your gains from this ["Cthulhu" universe].]

[First came the vast quantities of attribute points and experience.]

[This ["Cthulhu" universe] was definitely greater in scale than the [Other Shore Realm]. After all, it was a testing ground a living Supreme Existence had spent nearly two eras creating.]

[With its Experience Points and attribute points doubled by [Heaven Rewards Diligence], the Experience Points reached a terrifying five hundred and ten million-plus, and the attribute points exceeded five million.]

[Without another word, you poured all the Experience Points into [Qi Refining Limit-Breaking].]

[And with the amplification of [Heavenly Dao Reward], your normal-state [essence] began soaring wildly.]

[From your initial [Immortal Venerable, first stage] (Nascent Soul Limit-Breaking, first layer), to [Immortal Venerable, second stage], [Immortal Venerable, third stage], [Immortal Venerable, fourth stage]... until you attained [Immortal Venerable, ninth stage]!]

[Even then, it did not stop.]

[That [essence] underwent a qualitative transformation, boundless and inexhaustible.]

[Faintly, countless strange phenomena manifested around you, even stirring a resonance throughout the entire [Supreme True Realm]!]

[You seemed to glimpse all of heaven and earth.]

[In that moment, you saw far too much—]
