97: Invincible body

Ning could clearly visualize the exact shape and size of every City, forest, mountain range, desert, lake, island, ocean, country, sea, continent, and even the entire Earth.

He finally began to understand that he had traveled very little from the beginning. "I should go out more. But... these places look too dangerous. It would be too bad if I wasted so much energy on a new body that dies easily."

"Hmm… maybe I should buy one that can't die. That makes a lot of sense. Alright, System. Can you change my new body on the auto-buy list to indestructible? I want one that can't be damaged," Ning asked.

<It is impossible to create an indestructible body>

<To do that, you would need an infinite amount of energy, but that is impossible>

"Then what if I collect energy from the infinite universe? Is that not possible?" he asked.

<No. Once you collect energy, it becomes finite. If something is finite, you can always get more>

<Also, if you were to collect energy from the infinite universe, you would spend your infinite lifetime in a new universe>

"Oh, right. Hmm… so I can't get a body that can't be damaged, can I? Then… how about a body that can recover from damage? Oh, I know, System, create a body that can regenerate even after being destroyed. Or better yet, give me a skill that can do that so my body will never truly die unless I'm not in it."

<You can purchase Infinite Regeneration for 436,000,000,000,000>

"Excuse me, how much does that cost?" Ning was stunned by the number. Even his extremely amazing body wasn't that expensive. "I could get about 200 different optimal bodies… Oh. This will constantly regenerate my body. So maybe… this deal isn't so bad," Ning thought.

"Okay, add it to my body and put them all at the top of the auto-buy list. I don't want one without the other," Ning said. It would take him millions of days to acquire that much energy, but he wasn't worried.

He had hundreds of thousands of days.

"Alright, that's enough about me. Let's think of something new for my beasts," Ning thought. From the knowledge he had gained about Kumia's beasts, even among birds, Night was not a very high-grade beast. In fact, it was considered average at best.

However, there were also many extinct beasts on the list, so among living beasts, Night wasn't that bad, though, just above average. "What about that?" Ning wondered.

Ning could do a few things.

The first step was to let Night directly understand the skills that would benefit him the most. But this would only increase his strength a little. Ning wanted something better.

The second was to make his body better so that he could be the best version of himself right now. But this was also limited to the species he was born into. Night Predators were strong, but not that strong.

So, the third option was the only one left to him. "I need to evolve Night," Ning thought.

"System, how can I evolve my beast?" Ning asked.

<You can directly change their species, but this will consume a lot of energy>

Ning shook his head upon hearing this. If the System itself said it would consume a lot of energy, then it definitely would.

<You can also bestow upon it the blood essence of its evolved form>

"What is its evolved form? What does a Night Predator evolve into?" he wondered. He checked Kumia's beast knowledge and found the answer. "Dark Emperor Eagle? The description doesn't look too bad, but honestly, it's a bit disappointing. But, the Dark Emperor itself can also grow, so maybe…" he thought.

"Night, come out," he said, calling Night out.

"Alright, create Dark Emperor Eagle blood essence for Night to consume," Ning said.

<Creating 3 drops of Dark Emperor Eagle blood to guarantee evolution will cost 660,000,000 energy>

"If it guarantees evolution, then use it," Ning said. <Confirmed>

"What is it, me, come in." Night looked around in confusion, feeling three drops of blood essence directly materialize inside his body. "It's nothing, come on, go back to sleep." Ning finished speaking and also disappeared.

"Now, do I still have enough energy to feed the Beetle?" he asked, checking his status. He still had about 1 billion energy, so he decided to help the Beetle too.

Its evolved form was called the Golden Armored Beetle, which had better defense, attack, and speed than the Great Shelled Silver Beetle.

He called it out, had the System give it two drops of blood essence to guarantee its evolution, and then sent it back to the beast space to let it adapt to the blood essence.

Evolution wouldn't happen immediately; it would take at least a few months. So, during this time, Ning needed to do something else to pass the time.

"What should I do?" he thought. He didn't want to leave Star Gazer City yet, so he decided to join the Pure Purification Sect.

"For this sect, I have to be bald, right? Forget it, I can grow my hair long later. If needed, I'll cut it now." Ning thought. He wanted to see how this sect operated, centered around healing the sick.

So, he decided to join. However, after going out and asking around, he found that the sect's recruitment had ended a few days ago and wouldn't resume for over a month.

So, Ning returned to his inn room. Thankfully, he still had about 30 days left at the inn, so he was fine. For the next few days, he did nothing but cultivate using "Earth Shattering, Heaven Splitting" and "Heavenly Refinement Art," as well as the "God-Devouring Vortex" cultivation methods, improving his cultivation as much as possible.
