System upgrade successful! Incredibly powerful new features!

Within the quiet room of Qingxuan Sect.

Lin Mo still sat cross-legged, adjusting his Qi.

Although the torrent of violent energy had receded,

within his Dantian,

the brilliant Golden Core still slowly rotated, each turn absorbing vast amounts of spiritual energy.

Golden Core Eighth Stage Peak!

This was his current Realm.

He was only separated from the Golden Core Ninth Stage by a window paper thinner than thin.

"Since I'm idle anyway, and the System is still upgrading, why not strike while the iron is hot and break through it?"

With a thought, Lin Mo took out some High-Grade Spirit Stones to absorb, then guided the spiritual energy within his body to charge towards that final barrier.

This time, there were no obstacles, nor any earth-shattering commotion.

It was as if everything fell into place naturally.

Bang!

As an extremely faint sound echoed within his body, that layer of window paper shattered.

Boom!

A more powerful and condensed Qi instantly filled Lin Mo's entire body.

Golden Core Ninth Stage!

At this point, he had reached the end of the Golden Core Realm,

just one step away from shattering his Core to form a Nascent Soul, achieving the status of a Nascent Soul Great Power!

"Hoo, comfortable!"

Lin Mo let out a long breath, feeling the vast, ocean-like power within his body, and a satisfied arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

However, before he could fully savor the joy of this Breakthrough,

deep within his mind, the mechanical prompt he had been waiting for finally rang out clearly!

Ding! System upgrade and maintenance complete!

Congratulations, Host, the national dao foundation sharing system has successfully entered a new stage!

The System has derived two new functions for you!

Please check, Host!

"It's finally done?!"

Lin Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, a sharp glint flashing in their depths.

This was the moment he had been waiting for!

Without hesitation, he immediately calmed his mind, summoned the refreshed System panel, and eagerly looked at it.

The first thing that caught his eye was the passive function, whose name sounded incredibly domineering.

Function One: Myriad Dao Grandmist Body (Passive)

Description: Three Thousand Great Daos, all lead to the same destination. The Host will automatically acquire all special Physiques and Bloodline Powers awakened by the citizens within the bound nation. All Physiques will perfectly fuse within the Host's body, with no rejection reactions, and can be infinitely stacked and upgraded.

"Hiss..."

Even though Lin Mo had mentally prepared himself, the moment he saw this description, he couldn't help but gasp, completely dumbfounded.

"Automatically acquire?"

"Perfectly fuse?"

"Infinitely stack?!"

Lin Mo stared at these three phrases, feeling his scalp tingle.

This function... wasn't it a bit too unreasonable?

What did this mean?

It meant that in the future, the 1.4 billion citizens of Great Xia would be Lin Mo's human cheat library!

As long as someone in Great Xia awakened a 'Sacred Body,' 'Overlord Body,' 'Divine Body,' or even something like Qingyu's Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus.

No matter how messy or conflicting the Physiques were,

they could all be crammed into his body, perfectly fused, and even stacked and upgraded?!

How could this be described as merely 'outrageous'?

This was about creating a god!

Imagine, if one day, everyone in Great Xia became like a Dragon, Awakening thousands of special Physiques, and all these Physiques converged on him alone... what kind of invincible body would he forge?

Even a legendary Immortal Emperor descending would probably be blown to bits by his punch!

"Hoo... calm down, calm down."

"Great Xia is just getting started, special Physiques are still a long way off."

"But... the future is promising, absolutely promising!"

Lin Mo forcibly suppressed his excitement, shifting his gaze from this 'pie-in-the-sky' divine skill to the second newly unlocked function.

If the first function guaranteed his upper limit,

then this second function might be the key to solving Great Xia's current predicament!

Function Two: Grandmist Dao Dependent

Description: As the Dao Ancestor of Great Xia, there should be dependents accompanying you. The Host can contract living beings from the Cangxuan Great Realm as 'Dao Dependents' and send them to Great Xia to assist in spreading the Dao.

Dao Dependent Privileges:

1: Cross-Realm Travel: Granted permission to cross Realms and descend to the bound nation (Great Xia).

2: Dao Ancestor's Blessing: Contractor's Comprehension Ability permanently +30%, Cultivation speed permanently +30%.

3: national destiny Blessing: When the Dao Dependent is within Great Xia, the above bonus effects are doubled (i.e., Comprehension Ability +60%, Cultivation speed +60%)!

Dao Dependent Restrictions: True Spirit Controlled: Once the contract is signed, the Dao Dependent's True Spirit is entrusted to the Host's will, their life and death controlled by the Host, forever unable to betray.

Current available slots: 5 people

After reading the detailed introduction of this second function, Lin Mo was first stunned, then the expression on his face became extremely strange.

"My goodness, Grandmist Dao Dependent!"

"Does this function mean... I can now hire foreign teachers for Great Xia??"

He stroked his chin, the light in his eyes growing brighter.

"Good, good, good!!"

"This function is marvelous! Simply indescribable!"

Lin Mo couldn't help but slap his thigh, so excited he almost jumped up.

"Everything in Great Xia is just starting. Although I'm supplying Cultivation Techniques and resources from behind, there's a whole world separating us, and many things can't be taught solely through text."

"If I can directly find a few professional foreign teachers from the Cangxuan Great Realm to go over and teach them hand-in-hand, the help to Great Xia would be epoch-making!"

Thinking of this, two excellent candidates instantly appeared in his mind.

"Leaving everything else aside, I'll directly send Senior Sister Su Qinghan back to teach Alchemy, and Gu Zhiyun back to teach Formations!"

"Even let that kid Li Fan go teach swordsmanship!"

"Wouldn't Great Xia's Cultivation level advance by leaps and bounds?"

"And Great Xia advancing by leaps and bounds means I advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Perfect! This is simply a perfect closed loop!"

The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more awesome he found this function.

Take Alchemy, for example.

Although after he transmitted the Alchemy knowledge, the group of Daoists led by Daoist Master Xuan Chen were very competitive,

they managed to get started by figuring things out themselves, even refining finished Medicinal Pills.

However, 'self-taught talent' and 'guidance from a famous master' are two completely different things!

Some Alchemy techniques and control of heat, without an experienced master watching over them,

how many detours would they have to take, how many furnaces would they blow up, just by relying on their own Comprehension Ability?

If Su Qinghan, this Alchemy Genius, personally went to guide them, those Daoists would only learn faster and better!

It was just a pity that Lin Mo previously had no ability to teleport living people, so he could only worry helplessly.

But now... the Grandmist Dao Dependent function directly broke through this barrier!

Moreover, this wasn't just a one-sided effort.

Look at the description in 'Dao Dependent Privileges'!

"Within Great Xia, Comprehension Ability and Cultivation speed bonuses double, directly +60%?!"

"This isn't just finding people for odd jobs, is it?"

"This is clearly giving them a heaven-sent Opportunity!"

Lin Mo knew very well that in the Late Stage of Cultivation,

even a one-tenth increase in Cultivation speed would be enough for countless Cultivators to fight over.

Not to mention a sixty percent increase!

Coupled with an ethereal but crucial attribute like Comprehension Ability... Lin Mo could fully imagine how shocked Su Qinghan and Gu Zhiyun would be when he presented these conditions to them.

Perhaps he wouldn't even need to say much; these two would be willing to agree.

Moreover, he didn't have to worry about his secret being leaked.

Because as long as they agreed, they would be subject to his control, their life and death entirely in his hands.

Safety was maximized!

"Perfect!"

"Simply too perfect!"

Lin Mo stood up and paced back and forth in the quiet room, feeling incredibly pleased.

"Since that's the case, should I go find someone to test this second function now?"

He was eager to try, wishing he could package Su Qinghan and Gu Zhiyun and send them off immediately.

But when he reached the door, he stopped again.

"...Forget it."

"No rush."

"For such a big matter, I should first say hello to my Younger Sister."

"After all, suddenly sending a few living people over, it wouldn't be good if it scared her."

"So she won't be unprepared!"

Thinking of this, Lin Mo sat back on the meditation cushion, quickly communicated with the System, and began to contact Lin Xiyue.

And this time, the System no longer prompted for upgrade and maintenance.

Buzz!

The light screen instantly unfolded.

Soon, Lin Mo successfully saw Lin Xiyue's familiar and smug little face on the screen.
