“Red Upgrade Trait?!”
Looking at the Trait he had just obtained, Han Zhao’s gaze shifted to the Trait on the system bar.
“The upper limit of the [Reincarnation of Alchemy Saint] is Red. Pass.”
“[One Person Thousand Transformations] is a Golden Trait. It won’t work either.”
“The upper limit of [Five Elements As One] is Gold, and the upper limit of [Three Wonders Origin Returning] is Platinum. The difference is even greater.”
“[Late Bloomer] is a Blue Trait. Unfortunately, it has no upper limit to growth.”
“If the upper limit is lower than the Red Trait…”
Han Zhao found two Traits that could be upgraded.
[Seven Extremes Martial Saint]: Green Trait. The cultivation aptitude of Saber
Dao, Sword Dao, Fist Technique, Palm Technique, Leg Technique, Finger Technique, and Claw Technique increase by seven times. When the corresponding martial technique reaches Greater Mastery, the probability of comprehending the intent will increase by three times. There is a certain probability of breaking through the upper limit and a very small probability of comprehending a fusion skill. (Can be upgraded to a Blue Trait through cultivation. The upper limit is Purple Trait.)
[Basic Master]: Blue Trait. The cultivation speed of basic, elementary, and intermediate martial arts will increase by three times. The probability of breaking through the upper limit will increase by three times. (It has already reached the upper limit of the Trait.)
“The increase in the quality of the [Seven Extremes Martial Saint] Trait can be used on the cultivation speed of specific martial arts…”
“[Basic Master] can allow the cultivation technique I cultivate to constantly break through the upper limit… However, it’s a pity that it can only affect the intermediate level at most.”
Comparing the two, Han Zhao had already made a decision.
“System, use the one-time Red Upgrade Trait to increase the quality of the Basic Master.”
Han Zhao muttered to himself. The [Basic Master] Trait in the system interface immediately emitted a red light.
[Obtained Trait ‘Martial Arts Genius’]
[Martial Arts Genius]: Purple Trait. The cultivation speed of basic, elementary, intermediate, and advanced martial arts will increase by eight times, six times, four times, and two times, respectively. The probability of breaking through the upper limit will increase by seven times, five times, three times, and one time, respectively. (It can be upgraded to Orange Trait through cultivation. The upper limit is Red Trait.)
“[Martial Arts Genius] is indeed a very suitable Trait for me.”
Looking at the effect of the new Trait, Han Zhao couldn’t help but laugh.
“System,” Han Zhao muttered.
[Collected 130 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]
[Each synthesis will consume 110 Notification Fragments and 1,200 taels of gold…]
[Current Balance: 3,000 taels of gold]
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
[23 years old. You killed Jin Wuxin and He Xuan.]
years old. You went to participate in the Central Prefecture Trial with Qi Xuanming. Your path was unimpeded. In the end, you obtained second place and your reputation spread far and wide.]
years old. After taking the Creation Pill, you broke through to the Four Qi Grandmaster Realm and began to specially deal with demons among the Spirit Guardians.]
[In the same year, a war broke out in Cloud Prefecture and Yu Niang disappeared.]
[29 years old. You’ve cultivated to the perfection of the Five Qi Grandmaster
Realm.]
[You encountered a powerful third-level Snake-level demon in a battle. You used all your strength to kill it.]
[The Essence Soul Bead absorbed a large amount of Yin energy and successfully activated. Your soul was sucked into it and entered a mysterious palace.]
[Thirty-six purple-red pillars stood in the hall of the palace. The soul phantoms on each pillar emitted a powerful aura.]
[“Your lifespan limit is 1,600 years? Third-level Divine Power Realm martial artist!”]
[“Is a Martial God Realm expert also preparing to reincarnate?”]
[“Fellow Daoist, which grotto-heaven world did you cultivate in?”]
[“The third level of the Divine Power Realm is only a step away from ascension. Why do you want to reincarnate and cultivate again?”]
[As soon as you entered the hall, more than ten phantoms emitting powerful soul auras took turns to talk to you. Every one of them was very polite and wanted to find out your background.]
[In order not to expose too much information, you maintained your aloofness the entire time and called yourself ‘Wu Wudi’, looking like a stranger.] [Although some people were dissatisfied, they didn’t directly start a conflict with you.]
[Listening to everyone’s conversation, you learned that everyone present was the ruler of the Spirit Beast Family or the Divine Weapon Family. They were basically all sixth-awakened Bloodline Holders or Grade 3 Weapon Masters.]
[Most of them were about to reach the upper limit of their lifespan, but they couldn’t continue to break through.]
[They began preparing for the future, just in case.]
[At this point, you finally found out the secret of the Essence Soul Bead.]
[The Reincarnation Hall opened once every 600 years. There’s a supreme treasure left behind by the Reincarnation Perfected Lord, the Reincarnation Dharmic Edict.]
[36 Essence Soul Beads covered a world and were the key to entering the Reincarnation Hall.]
[As long as you obtained the “Reincarnation Dharmic Edict” and signed your name on it, you could definitely enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation when you died of old age and reincarnate with a portion of your memories.]
[There were still 84 years before the next opening of the Reincarnation Hall.]
[Before your soul left the Reincarnation Hall, a few sixth-awakened Bloodline Holders and Grade 3 Weapon Masters wanted to ‘befriend’ you. You could communicate through the Essence Soul Bead, but you rejected them directly.]
[30 years old. Because the Essence Soul Bead had already been activated by you, the Star Pavilion has detected the approximate location of the Essence Soul Bead in your hand through the Grade 4 divine weapon, the Stellar Mirror.]
[The strongest of the Five Great Surnames, the Cao family’s ancestor, Cao
Mengxuan, found you.]
[You pretended to be Wu Wudi’s disciple. He was skeptical and didn’t make things difficult for you. Instead, he tried to rope you in. He wanted to communicate with Wu Wudi and join forces in the Reincarnation Hall.]
[For a moment, everyone found that you’re the successor of a Martial God.]
[The descendants of the top aristocratic families who obtained the Essence Soul Bead in the entire East Victory Continent came one after another to befriend you.]
[You became a VIP of the aristocratic families. You were very popular.]
[You knew very well that the lie would be exposed one day, so you still clung tightly to the Qi family.]
[In the same year, you successfully broke through to the Martial Saint Realm and began to transform the martial arts you cultivated into the corresponding Lesser Divine Powers. Your strength increased greatly, but your cultivation speed slowed down.]
[You used the Qi family’s connections to leave through the Heavenly Profound Sect’s teleportation array and headed to the Jambu Sea Islands a million kilometers away.]
[This time, you took the initiative to find the Holy Emperor Palace and successfully joined.]
[At the age of 31, you were chosen by the Palace Master. He married his daughter to you. With the resources of the Holy Emperor Palace, your cultivation speed improved greatly.]
[37 years old. You cultivated to the Six Fiend Realm. You cultivated the Three
Points Origin Returning Qi, Connate Astral Qi, Three Wonders Arrow, and Infinite Mountain and River into Lesser Divine Powers.]
[In the same year, the Qian Heaven Palace is about to open. In order to obtain a spot, you started to fight for the rankings.]
[Three months later, you entered the Qian Heaven Palace as the successor of the Holy Emperor Palace and joined forces with Qi Yuntian, Qi Xuanming, Lu Yingxuan, and Su Tianqi.]
[In the end, with the support of your powerful martial strength, you only suffered minor injuries and obtained the “Qian Heaven Essence Qi” and the
“Outer World Mystic Flower”.]
[You fulfilled the agreement and gave most of the Qian Heaven Essence Qi and Outer World Mystic Flower to Qi Yuntian.]
[The Qi family only hoped that you could convince Wu Wudi not to join forces
with the Cao family. You agreed immediately.]
[When you left the Qian Heaven Palace, you were ambushed by a Grade 3 Weapon Master.]
[Qi Qingchan protected you and repelled him.]
[With the help of the “Qian Heaven Essence Qi” and the “Outer World Mystic Flower”, your cultivation speed increased greatly.]
[50 years old. You cultivated to the Seven Fiend Martial Saint Realm.]
[62 years old. You perfected the Seven Fiend Realm and began to absorb the fiendish qi of the Wind, Ice, and Lightning.]
[70 years old. You felt that your body had already reached the upper limit of its tolerance. After the Nine Fiend Perfection, you no longer absorbed the power of lightning and begin to enter seclusion to break through to the Divine Power Realm.]
[73 years old. After three years of seclusion, you successfully broke through.] [At this moment, your Divine Power Heavenly Tribulation descended.]
[Legend had it that the Divine Power Heavenly Tribulation would only produce
27 bolts of Divine Firmament Heavenly Lightning at most.]
[You used all your methods. The Severing Karma Saber and the Afterlife Sword, which had already become Spirit Artifacts, were both shattered by the heavenly lightning.]
[After being seriously injured and on the verge of death, you finally withstood
27 lightning bolts.]
[At this moment, another Purple Firmament Divine Lightning appeared in the sky.]
[You died on the spot and your soul dissipated.]
“Must it be so absurd?!” Looking at the information in the simulation, Han Zhao couldn’t help but curse on the spot.
Such an awesome person was not allowed to appear in this world?
According to Ji Baiwei, when the disciples of top aristocratic families reached the ninth level of the Snake-level, as long as their souls were strong enough and they obtained the recognition of the divine weapon, they could become true Weapon Masters.
Although the process was dangerous, at most, they would only be severely injured. The probability of being fatal was low.
It was already very ridiculous to have to resist the heavenly tribulation to break through to the Divine Power Realm!
Why was it that there were at most 27 Heavenly Tribulations in theory, but there were more during his tribulation?
‘Could it be because I condensed the power of wind and ice after reaching the Greater Mastery Seven Fiend Realm?’ Han Zhao thought to himself.
“Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’m still too far away from that realm.”
After pondering for a moment, Han Zhao decided not to think meaninglessly.
In any case, this simulation was all useful information to him.
The secret of the Essence Soul Bead had been figured out. Moreover, the simulation had already provided him with a feasible idea of how to use the Essence Soul Bead to maximize the benefits.
This Essence Soul Bead was actually only a key. Moreover, it had the function of adding friends.
“Wait! If I obtain a Trait that can resist the heavenly tribulation in reality, does that mean that even if the world targets me, it’s useless?
Han Zhao suddenly reacted.
The [Three Wonders Origin Returning] Trait could transform the power of wind, ice, and lightning. The upper limit of the Trait was as high as Platinum. There might be such a Trait in the future.
Thinking of this, Han Zhao revealed a happy expression and looked at the information in his attribute panel.
[The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]
[1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)]
[2: Obtained attribute points]
[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]
[Current Balance: 1,800 taels of gold]
Han Zhao hesitated for a moment between [Option 2] and [Option 3] before making a decision.
Now that he already had a way to avoid the calamity of the Essence Soul Bead in the simulation, he did not have to be in a hurry to choose his memories. The key was to increase his current combat strength.
The more strength he hid, the safer he would be when encountering danger.
“Option 2.”
