46: All laws are mixed into one, a gift package of talents

"Great Boundless Ocean Skill, Perfection 8000/8000."

"Seven-Colored Treasure Bottle True Force, Perfection 7500/7500."

"Spirit Demon Five Animal Play, Perfection 10500/10500."

All three Cultivation Techniques reached Perfection, with Internal Energy and True Qi intertwining, circulating back and forth, robust and powerful.

Following this, Chen Cuo's aura rapidly ascended; although each Cultivation Technique operated through different meridians, they now circulated the same powerful True Qi, following an inexplicable pattern.

As if in an instant, all the True Qi converged, filling his Dantian Qi Sea. Time slowly passed, and a drop of liquefied Internal Energy instantly dripped down.

"Drip!"

The crisp sound of dripping water resonated through Chen Cuo's entire mind. All the True Qi rapidly transformed into liquid Internal Energy, circulating through the meridians of his entire body along the cultivation route, without the slightest conflict.

His entire Dantian was filled with endless Internal Energy, like a vast ocean, with his five organs housing his spirit and his Qi and blood vigorous.

He had achieved the Acquired Realm!

His Internal Energy ocean appeared entirely grayish-white, but it was not a sign of stagnation; rather, it was Mixed Origin Qi.

The Hunyuan Inner Force surged and flowed, completely opening all the extraordinary meridians and eight channels within his body. His Qi and blood were like thick pulp, incredibly heavy, flowing rapidly within his body like a surging river!

Using Internal Energy to circulate through every corner of his body, past internal injuries that had accumulated and previously obstructed meridians were all cleared and broken through. Impurities were expelled from his body through his pores, cleansing his meridians and marrow.

The Internal Energy flow had infinite wondrous uses, ten times sharper than True Qi. It could be used for body protection, healing external injuries, and most importantly, Internal Energy could be externally released and attached to weapons, causing attacks to carry various attributes, much like enchantments in a game.

The external release of True Qi by a Martial Artist in the Refined Organs Realm was not only short in distance but also short in duration and low in power. While not a world apart, the difference was significant.

Chen Cuo clenched his fists, feeling the power he possessed. The Mountain Moving Skill also broke through significantly due to the pressure at the bottom of the cold pool, with its first level's proficiency reaching 2000, achieving Minor Achievement. His total strength reached a formidable fifty thousand catties, comparable to his grandfather's peak.

"Are Xiao Bai and the Mountain Spirit in a deep sleep?" Digging a tunnel in the Yin Wind Cave, even though Xiao Bai was naturally unique and unafraid of the Yin Wind inside the cave, the soil inside had been crystallized by the prolonged exposure to the Yin Wind, which was a considerable drain on him, to the point that he looked half-dead as soon as he reached Chen Cuo's side.

As soon as Chen Cuo achieved the Acquired Realm, a mere circulation of Internal Energy granted him the ability to perceive his surroundings. The chirping of insects, the rustling of wind, and all five aggregates were clearly discernible.

"Refreshed and invigorated, I even feel my thoughts have quickened a bit." Chen Cuo stretched his limbs, his eyes gleaming with a vibrant and agile light.

He raised his eyes and immediately focused his attention on the System panel. As expected, a prompt had appeared.

"Do you want to Awaken the talents of 'Great Boundless Ocean Skill' / 'Seven-Colored Treasure Bottle True Force' / 'Spirit Demon Five Animal Play'?"

"Yes!" Chen Cuo extended his finger and tapped in the air.

Fate Points: 257

As Chen Cuo became the leader of the Vajra Sect, his social status allowed him to indirectly influence the destinies of some people. Even the goods he produced, though he was unaware of it, indirectly changed the life trajectories of many, similar to the butterfly effect.

Combined with recent battles and killings, he had accumulated over 30 points, bringing his Fate Points to 257.

"Congratulations to the Host, for Awakening the talent 'Body of Reversion'."

"Congratulations to the Host, for Awakening the talent 'Seven-Colored Life-Death Talisman'."

"Congratulations to the Host, for Awakening the talent 'Five Spirits True Meaning'."

Fate Points: 257 → 201

Some inexplicable streams of information began to fill his mind, deepening his understanding of the three Cultivation Techniques, making him momentarily lose himself. A warm current also appeared, beginning to act on him, forming another small Internal Energy ocean in his Dantian. The Internal Energy circulated smoothly and without any discomfort, and its speed also increased.

Immediately, Chen Cuo checked the System's descriptions of the three talents.

"Body of Reversion: The talented one, also known as the Dual Origin, opens a minor Dantian within the Dantian. The Qi Sea is like a tide, condensing without dispersing, and Qi recovery speed increases threefold."

"Seven-Colored Life-Death Talisman: Using the True Force Treasure Bottle and Seven-Colored Divine Needle to condense a Life-Death Talisman. The talisman resides within the body, controlling the Divine Needle."

"Five Spirits True Meaning: Imitating the form of the Five Spirits, converging the essence of sentient beings. Form is the body of the spirit, and essence is the soul of the spirit. With both form and essence, the Dao follows nature."

Body of Reversion can roughly be understood as a special Physique, whose effect is to open a secondary Dantian within the body to store excess Internal Energy, making it convenient for emergency deployment, and also significantly increasing the speed of Internal Energy recovery.

The Seven-Colored Life-Death Talisman was a bit inexplicable. After Chen Cuo understood it, he realized that this talent was very similar to the Life-Death Talisman used by the Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace in Jin Lao's novel. The essence of the Life-Death Talisman was to use liquids like wine, reverse the True Qi, transform the vigorous Qi into soft Internal Energy, and condense the liquid into ice to inject into the enemy's body, thereby controlling the enemy's life and death, making them unable to live or die.

The Seven-Colored Life-Death Talisman had a similar effect. It used the Seven-Colored Treasure Bottle condensed by Internal Energy to refine a control talisman. This talisman was then used to condense a Seven-Colored Divine Needle to subdue enemies. Once the Seven-Colored Divine Needle was injected into an enemy's body, it allowed control over their life and death, with extraordinary effects.

Moreover, the Seven-Colored Divine Needle, once it entered the human body, would immediately transform and connect with flesh and blood, making it impossible to remove.

As for the last talent, Five Spirits True Meaning, derived from the Perfection of the Five Animal Play, its description was very abstract and did not specify the concrete effects, requiring Chen Cuo to experience it himself, just like the previous description of "Body-Blade Unity."

This Awakening of talent abilities cost a total of 56 Fate Points. Awakening the Body of Reversion cost 16 points, derived from the Great Boundless Ocean Skill. Awakening the Seven-Colored Life-Death Talisman cost 15 points, and Five Spirits True Meaning cost 25 points.

The cost of Awakening talent abilities, estimated based on the Rank level of the Cultivation Technique and its proficiency, seemed somewhat random, though there was a clear pattern: the better the Cultivation Technique, the more points required.

The depth of the cold pool, less than a hundred meters, was no longer an issue for Chen Cuo. He used his super-perception, enhanced by Internal Energy, and found that Xiao Bai and the Mountain Spirit on the waterfall rock platform were without any other anomalies, which put his mind at ease!

"Underwater breathing is also common. Perhaps I can go deeper into the pool and take the opportunity to Cultivate the Mountain Moving Skill." Whether it was due to his talent or his Breakthrough to the Acquired Realm, Chen Cuo could now breathe freely underwater, no longer needing to surface for air.

At this moment, the wondrous qualities of the cold pool were fully displayed, greatly aiding his Cultivation. He intended to use this opportunity for deep cultivation.

Chen Cuo's body then swayed, adding more weight, sinking to one hundred meters, one hundred twenty meters, one hundred fifty meters. The entire cold pool was like a cone, with its center unfathomably deep.

It wasn't until Chen Cuo reached a depth of two hundred meters that the surrounding pressure increased several times again. Although Internal Energy protected his body, his hair and eyebrows still began to freeze into frost. Chen Cuo could only slowly stretch his limbs and begin to perform the Five Animal Play.

The Mountain Moving Skill began to operate on its own, even faster than when Chen Cuo operated it himself.
