723: Selection

"You flatter me," Tang Jue said with a slight bow.

"Although you have two innate talents that don't seem to be upgradeable, you can still exchange for more sword-related talents to strengthen this aspect, and you can also exchange for some physical attributes to compensate for your body and constitution. These are up to you," Yi Xin said to Tang Jue. "All in all, source points are best used to enhance one's potential, foundation, and other aspects, for us that is."

"I understand. I'll do some research. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yi Xin!" Tang Jue said with a slight nod.

"Mhm, talk more in the group when you're free. We're all one big family!" Yi Xin said to Tang Jue with a smile.

"That's right," Clarissa interjected.

"This is our Big Sister Head! Clarissa!" Lin Zifeng immediately said.

Tang Jue looked at Clarissa's 8-star combat power displayed behind her, which seemed to be the strongest in the group. With his own combat power only at 5-star, he knew the gap was significant. Coupled with the unique [Administrator] tag before her name, it was clear that this person was undoubtedly a "big shot"!

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Clarissa!" Tang Jue said with a slight bow.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Clarissa," Clarissa said to Tang Jue. "If you need anything, just say so in the group. If you need any help, everyone will help if they can."

"Alright, I've noted that," Tang Jue nodded, then began to research the Cross-World Group's source points store.

He wanted to see what he could buy to strengthen himself.

However, there were recommendations. The recommendations from an existence like the Cross-World Group were entirely tailored to each individual. They might not be perfect, but they were definitely suitable.

Tang Jue started by looking through the recommendations.

The Cross-World Group had many recommendations, considering all aspects. Counting them, there were at least several hundred.

After Tang Jue finished looking through all the recommendations, he began to select the ones suitable for himself.

Ultimately, based on the path he intended to take in the future and his current situation, he carefully picked out two:

[Geng Metal Sword Body I]: Possesses innate Geng Metal power and enhances Sword Dao talent. (Purchased with 1e source points, upgrade requires 10e source points)

[Enlightened Mind and Intent I]: Greatly enhances comprehension, increasing the probability of "Unity of Heaven and Man" and "Sudden Enlightenment." (Purchased with 1e source points, upgrade requires 10e source points)

After purchasing these two, his source points immediately became 21e+.

Moreover, the effects were very obvious. He could clearly feel that his "world" seemed to have suddenly become clearer, and his already perfected Sword Technique seemed to allow for even deeper understanding.

Not only that, the innate "Geng Metal Power" brought by the Geng Metal Sword Body complemented his Geng Metal Sword Intent.

The Geng Metal Sword Qi within his body became more condensed, with both its quality and quantity experiencing a leap!

His Geng Metal Sword Intent even directly soared to 40.55%.

His three main attributes also saw slight improvements:

Physique: 9843

Energy: 11654

Spirit: 10418

Seeing such excellent results, with no side effects or aftereffects, as if they were innate to him, Tang Jue couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying power of the Cross-World Group!

Looking at the remaining 21e source points, he directly upgraded the two purchased talents!

[Geng Metal Sword Body II]: Possesses innate Geng Metal power and enhances Sword Dao talent. (Upgrade requires 30e source points)

[Enlightened Mind and Intent II]: Greatly enhances comprehension, increasing the probability of "Unity of Heaven and Man" and "Sudden Enlightenment." (Upgrade requires 30e source points)

He felt it even more distinctly; the magnitude of the improvement was more intense than at level I!

It seemed it wasn't a simple "+1," but a qualitative leap!

At the same time, his three main attributes also changed:

Physique: 10266

Energy: 12489

Spirit: 11033

His Geng Metal Sword Intent also surged again, reaching 46.88%.

Looking at the 30e source points required for each upgrade, a total of 60e source points! That was three times more than what he originally possessed!

That was his "savings" from all these years!

"It seems I need to find a way to earn more source points," Tang Jue thought to himself, and at the same time, he sent the Intent Sword Art to Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, and the other "Researchers" in the group.

At the same time, he said in the group, "I'm going to the Scripture Pavilion now. I'll try to send you all a copy of the cultivation techniques."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble!" Yi Xin and the others said to Tang Jue.

Afterward, Tang Jue walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.

He greeted "Sweeper Old Man" Elder Tang, who nodded slightly and let Tang Jue enter.

Tang Jue had thought he would have to "make rubbings" of each book to take them out and send them, but to his surprise, he could directly browse them with his "divine sense" without restrictions. Rubbings were only needed if he wanted to take them out.

But this also made it convenient for Tang Jue, as he could directly "copy" a version and send it to Yi Xin and the others.

With this, Tang Jue felt much more comfortable and completed a full circuit.

Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng now had their hands full.

There were at least hundreds of thousands of various cultivation techniques, also involving sword, saber, spear, and other techniques.

Tang Jue wasn't just acting as a "sending machine"; he also took the opportunity to see if there were any cultivation techniques or Sword Techniques suitable for him.

Besides cultivation techniques and martial arts, Tang Jue also discovered various divine abilities and spells, each with its own marvels.

He couldn't help but examine them one by one.

"We can't thank you enough! Just call on us if you need anything!" Yi Xin and the others had fully received everything, and after saying this to Tang Jue, they went into "seclusion" to research.

"Alright," Tang Jue responded, then began searching for divine abilities, spells, and Sword Techniques suitable for him.

The "Myriad Sword Art" and "Heaven-Shocking Sword Art" he originally cultivated were not bad, but at his current level, they were still far inferior in comparison.

To put it in game terms, if a normal attack had a 100% multiplier, then the "Myriad Sword Art" and "Heaven-Shocking Sword Art" might have a 300% or 400% multiplier. They weren't bad, and even if he became stronger, these wouldn't fall behind, as the multiplier would remain the same.

But at higher levels, these newly learned skills might have a 500% or 600% multiplier.

Could the original ones not be used? Yes, they could. Were they not strong? They were strong too! After all, whether something was strong depended on his own foundation, as basic stats were the most fundamental.

Tang Jue was in this situation now. The original ones weren't unusable, but he needed more "trump cards," "ultimate moves," "desperate techniques," and other various divine abilities and spells for different purposes.

In the lower realm, perhaps he could overpower everything just by relying on his Sword Technique. Although he also knew some other spells, they were all for auxiliary life use, or only had minor uses, and were not very effective in actual combat.

Moreover, the overall atmosphere in the lower realm was relatively peaceful. If one was careful enough, there was little chance of life-threatening danger.

However, the "Immortal Realm" was different now. From what he understood of the current environment, it was very dark. It could be said that one careless mistake could lead to death!

Furthermore, Tang Jue didn't know what methods those foreign races possessed. Everything was unknown, so he needed more countermeasures, just in case!

Several hours passed before Tang Jue finally found a few Sword Techniques and divine abilities that he liked.
