583: Mission complete and you'll receive your title! Return to your territory!

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on perfectly completing the mission of the Ancient Sword Sect and helping the mist rule bite off a rule fragment from the Heavenly Dao rules of ancient history!]

[Reward: 2 Undying talent awakening scrolls (Conceptual Grade)]

[Reward: 2 Undying Rule Refining Blueprints (Conceptual Grade)]

[Extra Reward: 2 Market Establishment Permits!]

[Note: This reward has activated the double reward rule for the title Mission Maniac.]

... Three items materialized in Su Lie's hand, and the voice of the mist rule filled him with joy.

He immediately looked at the Undying talent awakening scroll in his hand.

[Undying talent awakening scroll (Infinite Regeneration): Red God-level Quality; Conceptual Grade Talent; Upon use, you will awaken the Infinite Regeneration Talent.]

[Infinite Regeneration: No matter what kind of destructive damage you suffer, even if you turn into air or dust, are erased from history, or wiped away from space, you can instantly regenerate.]

[Note: The Infinite Regeneration ability can only restore your physical body and soul, but cannot restore your destroyed items or storage items.]

"Hiss! This Talent is terrifyingly powerful!"

Su Lie couldn't help but gasp, and with a thought, he immediately used the Talent.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Conceptual Grade Talent: Infinite Regeneration!]

After completing the awakening.

Su Lie finally let out a breath.

Up until now.

He had already awakened 7 Undying Talents.

These included All-System Immunity, Borrowing Strength to Escape, Soul Sculpting True Body, Malicious Immortality, immeasurable refining furnace, Vast Righteousness Immortality, and the newly awakened Infinite Regeneration.

Among them, All-System Immunity, Malicious Immortality, Soul Sculpting True Body, and Vast Righteousness Immortality were God-tier rule-based Talents.

Borrowing Strength to Escape was a God-tier Talent, while immeasurable refining furnace and Infinite Regeneration were Conceptual Grade Talents.

The focus of each Talent was different.

The prerequisites required were also different.

They not only involved damage but also Undying powers related to the soul and Spirit.

It could be said that the scope was quite extensive.

But if one had to name the strongest, it would still be the Infinite Regeneration Talent.

immeasurable refining furnace was slightly weaker because it required Su Lie to set up a large number of refining furnaces and gain refining power through them before he could be reborn within the furnace.

But Infinite Regeneration had no such requirements; it was so overbearing that even if he was wiped away, he could instantly regenerate.

After obtaining this Talent.

Su Lie felt much more at ease.

"Others might have one layer of Undying power, but I have seven! They might be able to break through three layers of my Undying power, but they definitely won't be able to break through all seven!"

Su Lie laughed confidently.

He then took out the Undying Rule Refining Blueprint.

[Undying Rule Refining Blueprint: Red Quality; Refining Blueprint; Consumption: 1 Undying lifeform (requires complete power), 10 years of Lifespan, 1 liter of Forgetfulness River Water; Can extract 1 Undying rule fragment.

Note: The Undying rule can grant your biological territory the ability to be Immortal and Indestructible.

Note: The Undying rule can be used for artifact refining to create special weapons specifically targeting Undying lifeforms.

Note: The Undying rule can be used for alchemy to create special Talent awakening pills.

Note: The Undying rule can be used to upgrade your Undying Talent, requiring a special manufacturing blueprint.

Note: The Undying rule can be used to refine specialized Undying talent awakening scrolls.]

"Huh? Is this a treasure refining blueprint specifically used to extract the Undying rule?"

Su Lie's eyelid twitched after seeing this.

This thing was both useful and not useful to him.

He first put the Undying Rule Refining Blueprint into his spatial pouch.

Following that.

He looked at the Market Establishment Permit.

Under his Identification, the permit's panel automatically popped up.

[Market Establishment Permit: Red God-level Quality; Rule Permit Item; Upon use, you will receive a market establishment mission. After completion and payment of a deposit, you can open a market.

Note: Both markets and black markets are private trading platforms permitted by the mist rule.

Note: Compared to black markets, markets have no mandatory missions, no bloody costs, and are protected by the rules, but the taxes and deposits are higher, and there are high requirements for the construction of internal facilities.

Note: The difference between a market and a black market is that a market can be open 24/7, while a black market can only open at 12 AM and must close before morning. The duration of its opening is determined by the market's specifications, with a minimum of 90 minutes and a maximum of 6 hours.

Note: Construction requires a spatial rift, a black market rule core, and Mist Points. See your construction plan and mission completion level for details.]

"A market with equal authority to a black market! It is an exchange protected by the mist rule, whereas a black market is not protected by the mist rule. Guests live or die at their own risk, and transactions are not traceable!"

Although Su Lie had long been tempted, compared to a market, what he initially wanted to open most was a black market.

But ever since the Cross Star Black Market was destroyed.

Su Lie felt that building a black market was unsafe.

Now that he had the Market Establishment Permit, he could try building a market.

"I'll worry about it after I get back!"

Su Lie put the Market Permit into his storage slot.

Right now.

Judging by the time in the Mist Main World, he had only just acquired his noble territory, and it was the time when construction was most needed.

It was too early to talk about establishing a market now.

Following that.

Su Lie clicked on the mist rule mission he had received in Tang Valley and chose to sacrifice.

Buzz!

A beam of light appeared before his eyes.

Su Lie then sacrificed all the sealed Formless Ghosts required by the mist rule—the Luo Lin team, the Ghost Breeding Mother Body, and the corresponding cultivation and transplant surgical team—totaling nearly ten million Formless Ghosts, to the mist rule.

[Buzz!]

Immediately afterward, another reward descended.

[Congratulations on completing the mist rule's sealing mission!]

[Reward: 2 God-tier Talent Promotion Hearts]

[Note: This reward has activated the double reward rule for the title Mission Maniac.]

The next second, two God-tier Talent Promotion Hearts appeared in Su Lie's hand.

This was an item resembling a heart-shaped gem.

It was about the size of a coin.

After Su Lie used his Identification Talent on it.

A panel popped up from the item.

[God-tier Talent Promotion Heart: Red God-level Quality; Rule Item; Upon use, it can promote one specified Red God-level Quality Talent to a Rule Talent, enhancing the Talent's rule authority.

Note: This item is a promotion item exclusive to the mist rule and requires the completion of a special mission to be rewarded.

Note: This item cannot be traded, manufactured, or discarded.]

"Damn it! Looks like I can only use it myself!"

Su Lie looked at the panel before him and immediately used one.

[Buzz!]

[Please select a Talent from your Talent list?]

Su Lie chose the Enhancement Talent without hesitation.

[Buzz!]

Immediately afterward, another prompt appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the rule promotion for the Red God-level Quality Talent Enhance. This Talent has been promoted to a Rule Talent!]

[Enhance: Red God-level Quality Rule Talent; Can Enhance everything.]

"Holy crap! Is it still this simple?"

Su Lie looked at the Enhancement Talent after its rule upgrade and found that aside from the change in quality, nothing else seemed to have changed.

This left him speechless.

With a thought, he took out a grain of rootless rice from his storage slot.

This was a god-tier quality grain.

He immediately looked at the rootless rice's panel.

[rootless rice: Red God-level Quality; Unique Exclusive Immortal Grain; Consuming 250 grams of rootless rice daily can raise one's Purity value to 100 points and satisfy the daily nutritional needs of a professional lifeform.

Note: This grain comes from a special mission.

Note: This grain is exclusive to Su Lie. Only Su Lie can plant it; no other lifeform can.

Note: This grain can only be consumed by Survivors who are at Second Turn or above.]

"Hiss! Unique Exclusive Immortal Grain? Does this mean I am the only Survivor who possesses this kind of grain? And the only one who can plant it!"

Su Lie couldn't help but gasp after seeing the panel.

Only then did he realize.

The rewards he received from the mist rule this time were far greater than he had imagined.

This made him incredibly excited.

What makes the most money now?

Naturally, monopolizing resources makes the most money.

For example, Su Lie's experience pearls came from Xu Yang Xu Yang, the leader of the Alchemist Group.

Furthermore, the outer aspect battle armor he wanted also needed to be purchased from Xu Yang Xu Yang.

They charge whatever price they want.

And there is no competition!

This was the advantage of exclusive resources.

Subsequently.

Su Lie used the Enhancement Talent on the rootless rice.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye.

The rootless rice emitted a black-red light.

When Su Lie tried to Enhance it again, a prompt appeared.

[Buzz!]

[This resource has been Strengthened to the highest rule level you can currently Enhance. Cannot continue Strengthening!]

Seeing the prompt, Su Lie secretly thought it was a pity.

He looked at the rootless rice again.

This time.

He couldn't help but swallow: "Holy crap! That awesome?"

[rootless rice: red god-tier Rule Quality; Unique Exclusive Immortal Grain; Consuming 250 grams of rootless rice daily can maintain the consumer's Purity value at 100 points for 72 hours, and satisfy the daily nutritional needs of a professional lifeform.

Rule Continuous Purification: rootless rice has gained the Continuous Purification rule...]

"If I were to go to a place like the Black Abyss, where Purity and sanity values constantly drop, this would be an essential item!"

Su Lie said joyfully.

After all.

Not everyone, like him, possessed the Cleansing Talent to maintain 100% Purity at all times.

After seeing the Enhance effect of the rootless rice.

Su Lie Strengthened all the remaining rootless rice once.

When he was finished.

[Buzz!]

[You have completed the Sword Void mission. You will be teleported back to your territory in 3 seconds!]

At this moment, a prompt appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

Su Lie smiled faintly.

As he turned his head.

Su Lie was astonished to find.

The ruins that had been destroyed earlier were restored to their original state.

The core area was once again covered by Mist.

Buzz!

After 3 seconds, Su Lie was teleported back into his territory amidst a burst of light.

After returning to the Great Joy Tower in his territory.

Su Liya immediately came up to Su Lie.

Su Lie looked at Su Liya and asked, "How is it?"

"Master! The Vassals are being recruited in an orderly manner! You spent about 2 hours on the mission. It is now 11 AM in Mist Main World time!"

Su Liya solemnly introduced everything inside and outside the territory to Su Lie: "Everything within the territory is proceeding orderly according to plan!"

"The noble territory outside the main territory has transformed from a barren wasteland into a fertile grassland!"

"According to Su Ling's deduction, this grassland will automatically wither within 1 to 6 months due to the lack of water nourishment!"

"All of this was spurred by the power of Mysterious Yellow Energy. Once the Mysterious Yellow Energy settles, these plants will wither and vanish!"

... Su Lie nodded after hearing this. He looked up at the ceiling: "Where is Yue Ling?"

"Sister Yue Ling is still asleep; she seems to have received some kind of shock!"

Su Liya shook her head helplessly: "According to Dr. Li Mu's examination, Sister Yue Ling was only frightened into unconsciousness and is expected to wake up before 12 PM."

Su Lie showed a strange expression after hearing this.

He then said to Su Liya, "Liya! Go and continue your previous assignment!"

"Yes!"

After bowing, Su Liya returned directly to the Guard Zone.

Following that.

Su Lie then said to Su Ling, "Su Ling! Prepare a topographic map of our Silent Abyss noble territory. I need to make some arrangements for it later!"

"Yes!"

Su Ling's crisp voice rang out beside Su Lie's ear.

While Su Lie was away, she had controlled the outer aspect Su Huoying to move around, and the feeling of having a body and senses made her incredibly joyful.

After finishing the arrangements.

Su Lie took out an item from his storage slot.

This was a painting impervious to water and fire.

It depicted a beautiful woman.

This was a Red God-level Quality scroll painting.

It was also the undying core of the Thousand-Hand Demoness.

The woman in the painting was named Goddess Liu.

Legend said she was a peerlessly beautiful woman, capable of toppling kingdoms, who had ascended to godhood from a willow demon.

It was painted by an admirer from the Sword Sect based on the heroic posture of the willow demon at the moment of her ascension.

When Su Lie saw this painting, he even thought there was a reborn person in the Sword Sect.

This image was almost identical to the Goddess Liu he had seen before.

After taking out the scroll, Su Lie used Enhance on it.

Buzz!

The next second, a black-red light burst forth from the scroll.

After Su Lie tried again, he found that he could no longer continue the Strengthening process.

He quickly looked at the scroll's panel.

[Buzz!]

[Willow Demon Ascending to Godhood Painting: Red God-level Quality; Rule Scroll; The undying core of the Formless Ghost Thousand-Hand Demoness.

Effect: Can resurrect the Thousand-Hand Demoness.

Resurrection Time: 1 hour;

Special Effect—Lifelike: The brushwork in the scroll is lifelike, allowing people to see the illusion of the willow demon ascending to godhood.

Special Effect—Soul Capturing: The scroll contains the divine intent of the brushwork and can restrain evil Spirits and ghosts.

Special Effect—Chaotic Sword Style: The scroll contains one sword move. Pointing the scroll at an enemy and injecting mana into it can unleash the sword move to kill the enemy.

Special Effect—Unbreakable: The scroll will never be destroyed permanently.

Special Effect—Water and Fire Impervious: The scroll is impervious to water and fire and can be preserved permanently.

Rule Painted Skin: When the Thousand-Hand Demoness resurrects, she can choose to resurrect using the image in the painting.

Note: This scroll was personally painted by an Elder of the Sword Sect.

Note: Although resurrection using the Rule Painted Skin image can change the Thousand-Hand Demoness's appearance, it cannot change her true form. Once the painted skin is broken, she will reveal her true body.]

"Huh? It actually Strengthened the Painted Skin Talent? And reduced the resurrection time from 3 hours to 1 hour?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up upon seeing this.

A smile curled up the corners of his mouth.

Following that.

He returned to the 9th floor of the Great Joy Tower.

Only then did he look at his storage slot and begin sorting out the spoils from the final battle...
