Upgrade System
Afterward, Chen Yuan went to the Technique Pavilion again to refine dozens of spirit transformation pills, which he gave to Ye Baixi and the others to help them improve their strength.
The System, in turn, returned dozens of Void Spirit Pills.
A month passed in a flash.
When Chen Yuan awoke from his Cultivation, his aura had already reached Nascent Soul Perfection Stage.
Next, he needed to find a way to Breakthrough to the Void Realm.
"System, how many Emotional Points do I have now?"
Ding! Host, your Emotional Points balance is: 1.3 million.
1.3 million? Good heavens! That's so much!
The System's Emotional Points can only be obtained through the emotional changes of Dao Companions. It seems the shock he gave Revered Master and Senior Sister when he killed that Mahayana Demon Venerable was indeed significant.
"System, do you have any Medicinal Pills that can directly help me Breakthrough to the Void Realm?"
Chen Yuan asked the System.
Yes, Host, yes! Seventh-Rank Medicinal Pill: void-breaking pill. Ordinary Cultivators have a 30% chance of Breakthrough upon consumption, while the Host has a 100% chance of Breakthrough.
Price: 1 million Emotional Points.
Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, planning to purchase it directly.
But then the System reminded him.
Host, upgrading the System to a Level 2 System also only requires 1 million Emotional Points!
"Level 2 System? What new functions will it have after upgrading?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.
After upgrading, many System functions will change.
For example, the binding requirements. Originally, binding required 90 Charm plus 60 Affection.
After upgrading, the Charm requirement drops to 80, and the Affection limit is removed.
"Upgrade, upgrade it now!"
Hearing that the affection requirement was gone, Chen Yuan decided to upgrade directly.
Alright, deducting 1 million Emotional Points. The System has begun upgrading.
10%...50%...100%.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, the System upgrade is successful.
Current System Rank: Level 2.
Binding conditions: Charm 80 (first-hand, second-hand cannot be bound).
Emotional Points acquisition, originally only from Dao Companions, is now from anyone.
System humanization.
Speaking of humanization, an invisible golden light shot out from Chen Yuan's glabella, transforming into a small figure the size of Feiji Bei.
Only Chen Yuan could see this golden light and the small figure.
The small figure was exquisitely cute, like a porcelain doll, with a high ponytail and bright, beautiful eyes.
Ding! Added danger detection function. The System will remind you whenever you encounter danger.
Added Eye of Inquiry. The Host can check anyone's identity information.
Added Encyclopedia. The Host can ask the System about anything they don't understand, free of charge.
When the System said humanization began, the cold mechanical voice disappeared, replaced by a loli voice.
"System, what's your name?" Chen Yuan asked the loli System.
System, you can call me Little Cherry.
"Little Cherry, that's a good name."
After chatting with the System for a while, Chen Yuan suddenly sensed that Little Phoenix's aura in the contract pearl was extremely unstable.
With a thought, he entered the contract pearl.
He saw that the entire world was shrouded by a powerful pressure, and the sky was covered in blood-red.
The source of the pressure was none other than Little Phoenix in the Void Realm.
At this moment, Little Phoenix's body was engulfed in crimson-gold flames, and her petite demonic body flickered in and out of sight within the flames.
Her cultivation had actually reached Golden Core Perfection, and it was still rising, attracting the Laws of heaven and earth. Above, thick tribulation clouds were rapidly gathering, with lightning snakes dancing wildly!
"This little fellow... when did she secretly Cultivate to Golden Core Perfection?" Chen Yuan was a bit bewildered, surprised in his heart.
This 'Fire Phoenix Spirit Body's' Cultivation speed is simply Heaven-Defying!
How long has it been? From hatching to attracting a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, this speed would probably be unbelievable if spoken aloud.
He dared not delay and immediately mobilized the power of the Small World to act as her Protector.
Little Phoenix had a solid Foundation and a powerful Bloodline, so her Heavenly Tribulation was immense.
Two days later, as the last thick tribulation lightning was completely devoured and refined by Little Phoenix's Nirvana Flame, the tribulation clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, scattering a sky full of pure vital energy and colorful light, shrouding the huge deep pit carved out by the Heavenly Tribulation on the mountain below.
Caw—!
A clear and exceptionally joyful Phoenix cry, carrying a sense of rebirth, rose from the deep pit!
Immediately after, a crimson-gold stream of light shot into the sky and landed in front of Chen Yuan.
The colorful light gradually receded, revealing the figure within.
Chen Yuan looked closely, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Standing before him was a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old.
She wore a beautiful little dress made of crimson-gold feathers, her skin was as fair as fresh snow, her face was round and chubby with baby fat, and her large eyes, like the purest rubies, blinked with liveliness and curiosity.
Most remarkably, several shimmering Phoenix feathers extended from her long crimson-gold hair, which flowed like flames, appearing like natural hair ornaments.
And behind her, a pair of miniature, crimson-gold wings covered in soft down gently flapped, keeping her suspended a foot off the ground.
She was a living, breathing loli with Phoenix features!
"Revered Master!" The loli's ruby-like eyes instantly lit up when she saw Chen Yuan, and her voice was soft and childish, filled with intimacy and dependence.
She flapped her small wings and swiftly flew to Chen Yuan's side, extending her small hand to tightly hug his arm, rubbing her little face against him affectionately.
Chen Yuan looked at the human-shaped Little Phoenix hanging on his arm, and then remembered the System Little Cherry, who had just humanized and also looked like a loli, feeling speechless inside:
"Am I destined to be surrounded by lolis? Why are they all little ones?!"
"Congratulations, Host, your spirit beast has successfully humanized!" The System Little Cherry, floating nearby, also clapped her small hands, a sweet smile on her face.
Chen Yuan felt the soft touch on his arm, and his urge to complain instantly turned into a surge of tenderness.
He reached out his other hand and gently ruffled Little Phoenix's soft hair, which had Phoenix feathers, and asked gently, "Little Phoenix, how do you feel?"
"Very good, Revered Master! I feel full of power!" Little Phoenix replied in a childish voice, hugging Chen Yuan's arm even tighter. "Can Little Phoenix stay by Revered Master's side forever from now on?"
"Of course you can." Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, then scrutinized her overly conspicuous Phoenix features, especially the small wings and the Phoenix feathers on her head.
"However, Little Phoenix, if you go out like this, you might attract attention. Can you put away these... um, special features? Just like an ordinary Human Race little girl."
Little Phoenix tilted her head in thought, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, Revered Master!"
With that, a faint crimson-gold light flashed around her, and her adorable small wings and the Phoenix feathers in her hair quietly disappeared. The unusual phenomena behind her also vanished, and she landed steadily on the ground.
At this moment, apart from her exceptionally beautiful and pure ruby eyes and her remarkably delicate appearance, she looked like a meticulously carved, exceptionally cute Human Race little girl.
"Hmm, this is much better."
Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, taking her soft little hand. "Let's go, I'll take you to see the outside world."
Little Phoenix immediately smiled happily, tightly grasping Chen Yuan's hand in return.
Little Cherry also transformed into a golden light and re-entered Chen Yuan's glabella.
