284: Chapter 284 System Upgrade: The Art of Deception is Now Online!

Su Changge heard the System's notification sound and paused for a moment.

Upgrade?

Could the System even be upgraded?

He had been using this god-level special effects system for so long, and it had always been version 2.0. Apart from turning on special effects and earning emotion points, it had no other functions.

Now it was actually going to upgrade?

He wondered what new functions would appear after the upgrade.

Su Changge felt a bit excited inside, but he didn't show it on the surface. He said indifferently to the Goatee Elder, "This Seat intends to go into seclusion to deduce the heavenly secrets of the ancient ruins; no one is allowed to disturb me."

The Goatee Elder hurriedly agreed and personally stood guard at the entrance of the side room, not allowing any Disciples to approach.

Su Changge carried the still-unconscious Willow and Little Stone into the adjacent side room and closed the door.

He placed Willow and Little Stone on the bed, covered them with a quilt, and then sat by the bedside, waiting for the System upgrade.

The buzzing sound in his mind grew louder and louder, and waves of warmth continuously washed over his body. He could clearly feel that his body hadn't become stronger, but his perception of Dao Rhyme had become much clearer.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the buzzing in his mind finally stopped.

【 Ding! System upgrade complete, current version 3.0! 】

【 Ding! Unlocked brand new core function: Dao Rhyme Mimicry! 】

A detailed introduction to Dao Rhyme Mimicry instantly appeared in Su Changge's mind.

Dao Rhyme Mimicry: Can consume emotion points to perfectly simulate the Dao Rhyme and aura of any Cultivation Technique or Divine Ability in the Great Dao Scripture Pavilion, with a 100% simulation rate. Even a True Immortal would be unable to detect any falsehood.

At the same time, the realism of all active special effects is increased to 100%. Once triggered, it can produce the corresponding Dao Rhyme suppression. For Cultivators with a lower cultivation Realm than the simulated Cultivation Technique, it can directly produce a Divine Soul suppression effect without requiring additional consumption of emotion points.

After reading the introduction, Su Changge almost jumped up in excitement.

Damn, this function is too awesome!

Previous special effects only had visual and auditory effects. Although they looked intimidating, if he met a real powerhouse who investigated carefully, it was still possible to discover flaws.

But now with Dao Rhyme Mimicry, not only could he simulate the corresponding phenomena, he could also simulate the 100% matching Dao Rhyme. Even if a True Immortal came, they would only think he was a powerhouse who had truly mastered that Cultivation Technique, and they wouldn't be able to see through it at all.

Furthermore, there was the Dao Rhyme suppression effect. In the future, when encountering lower-level Cultivators, he wouldn't even need to use special effects; he could directly release the Dao Rhyme to suppress them until they couldn't lift their heads, saving even more emotion points.

This was simply a bluffing artifact tailored specifically for him!

Su Changge suppressed his excitement, and with a thought, tried to simulate the Dao Rhyme of the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Art".

In an instant.

A terrifying, high-temperature Dao Rhyme radiated from his body. The wooden table in the room was instantly scorched, and even the bedsheets began to smoke.

Su Changge hurriedly retracted the Dao Rhyme, feeling incredibly satisfied.

It really worked!

Although this temperature couldn't compare to the real Great Sun Burning Heaven Art, the aura of the Dao Rhyme was exactly the same. Even if a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator at the level of Dao Monarch Yun Xing stood here, they would only think he had truly mastered the complete version of the Great Sun Burning Heaven Art and would never suspect him.

With this function, going to the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins would be even safer.

The Shattered Star Ancient Ruins had two Tribulation Transcendence Stage old monsters, Blood Bone Old Demon and Dao Monarch Yun Xing, along with many experts from other Sects. Previously, he had been afraid of being exposed if he met a Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse, but now with Dao Rhyme Mimicry, let alone the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, even if a Great Emperor Level expert came, he could still put on a convincing act.

Su Changge opened his emotion points panel to take a look. The System upgrade had just cost ten million emotion points, and he still had forty-seven million left, which was more than enough for him to squander.

He sat by the bed and began to organize the information about the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins.

From the memories of Xuantian Old Ancestor and Li Changfeng's notes, he knew that the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins was the place where the Ancient War God fell. Inside were the Incomplete Manuals of the "Shattering Star Art", as well as personal weapons forged from star cores, and Star Flames that could temper the Physical Body.

These things were huge Opportunities for others, but they were useless to him. His cultivation was forever stuck at the Qi Refining First Layer, so even if he got the best Cultivation Technique, it would be useless.

However, he could use these Opportunities to bluff those Cultivators who went in to grab treasures and earn a wave of emotion points.

There were many reclusive old monsters in there, as well as geniuses from various Sects. If he could bluff all of these people, the emotion points he earned might directly break one hundred million.

The more Su Changge thought about it, the happier he became, and he had already started planning how to bluff people once he got inside.

Just then, the voice of the Goatee Elder came from outside, carrying a hint of caution.

"Pavilion Master, the Sect Masters of several major Sects in the Lingxu Wasteland have brought gifts and are requesting an audience outside the mountain gate. They say they want to congratulate the Pavilion Master on assuming the position of Jade Cauldron Pavilion Master, and also to congratulate the Immortal Venerable on appearing in the world."

Su Changge raised an eyebrow.

Sect Masters of several major Sects?

Weren't these all just people here to deliver emotion points?

He could take this Opportunity to release the news that he was going to the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins, letting everyone in the Lingxu Wasteland know, so that no one would suspect he was running away.

Su Changge spoke indifferently.

"Let them in."

The Goatee Elder outside hurriedly agreed, and not long after, he led a dozen or so Cultivators wearing different attire inside.

These people were all Sect Masters of the various Sects in the Lingxu Wasteland. The lowest in cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Stage, and the highest had reached the Soul Transformation Stage. Under normal circumstances, they were all prominent figures in the Lingxu Wasteland.

But now, standing in front of Su Changge, they didn't even dare to lift their heads. One by one, they respectfully presented the gifts in their hands and bowed to Su Changge.

"Congratulations to Immortal Venerable Su on assuming the position of Jade Cauldron Pavilion Master. A small token of our respect, please accept it."

"We heard that the Immortal Venerable has appeared in the world and have specially come to pay our respects. From now on, our Sects will follow Immortal Venerable Su's lead."

Su Changge sat on the chair, swept a glance at them indifferently, and said nothing.

He deliberately released a trace of the "Taishang Wuji Sword Scripture" Dao Rhyme. Just a mere trace was enough to make those Sect Masters tremble all over, almost kneeling on the ground.

They could clearly feel the terrifying aura contained within that Sword Intent, as if Su Changge could sever their Divine Souls with a single thought.

All the Sect Masters were pale with fright, their heads buried even lower, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Su Changge nodded with satisfaction. This Dao Rhyme Mimicry was indeed easy to use; just a trace of Dao Rhyme had scared these Soul Transformation Stage Sect Masters like this.

He spoke indifferently, his voice calm and ripple-free.

"This Seat will head to the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins in three days to deduce the heavenly secrets and seek a great Opportunity for the Qingming Domain. During the time I am away, the order of the Lingxu Wasteland will be managed by the Jade Cauldron Pavilion. Whoever dares to cause trouble is an enemy of this Seat."

Hearing Su Changge's words, the Sect Masters were instantly excited.

The Immortal Venerable was actually going to the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins?

That was the battlefield of the Ancient War God, full of danger. Previously, less than one in ten Cultivators who went in survived. But who was the Immortal Venerable? He was a Dao Ancestor-level powerhouse. If he went in, he would definitely be able to obtain the Opportunities inside, and perhaps even secure some benefits for the Cultivators of the Lingxu Wasteland.

All the Sect Masters bowed in unison.

"We will strictly follow the Immortal Venerable's decree! We will definitely maintain the order of the Lingxu Wasteland and wait for the Immortal Venerable's return!"

Su Changge nodded and waved his hand.

"You may all leave."

The Sect Masters hurriedly retreated respectfully, not daring to stay for even a second longer.

Su Changge looked at their departing backs, feeling overjoyed inside.

【 Ding! Obtained +300,000 awe points from each Sect Master! A total of 4,500,000 points obtained this time! 】

Another 4.5 million emotion points had been credited. Now his total emotion points had exceeded 50 million.

Just as Su Changge was about to stand up and stretch his body, he suddenly felt three Divine Senses, not weaker than the previous Dao Monarch Yun Xing's, sweep over from the direction of Weiming Heaven in the north, landing directly on the side room where he was.

Immediately after, a deep voice came from hundreds of miles away, carrying a hint of respect.

"The three Elders of Weiming Heaven, hearing that the Immortal Venerable has arrived in the Lingxu Wasteland, have specially come to pay our respects!"
