78: Chapter 78 What's the difference between this and a cheat code?

Innate Spirit Treasure!

These four words seemed to contain a supreme power of spoken command, instantly dispelling all the void and chaos.

Chen You's consciousness snapped back into his body, his breath nearly stopping.

He was no novice who lacked knowledge; based on what he knew from reading novels or watching TV,

the so-called 'Innate' meant a supreme treasure born before the heavens and earth opened and chaos separated!

Every single one possessed the terrifying might to reverse the cosmos and reshape the laws!

This game... was playing way too big, wasn't it?

He even suspected that he was hallucinating due to continuous high-intensity immortal cultivation.

Just as he was filled with surprise and uncertainty, the stream of chaotic light descending from the Ninth Heaven had completely merged into his glabella.

Immediately following that, an ancient-looking immortal sword silently suspended itself before him.

It had no flashy light effects, no dazzling treasure radiance.

The entire sword exhibited a gentle, warm jade color, as if it had been carved from a single block of the finest mutton-fat white jade.

There were no superfluous patterns on the blade, only the smooth lines of the Great Dao's simplicity.

However, this seemingly plain jade sword gave Chen You a connection to his spirit that he had never experienced before.

It felt as if this sword was an extension of his own limbs, a part of his soul.

[Item Name: Innate Spirit Treasure · jade brilliance (Growth Type)]

[Base Stats: Attack Power +300, Armor Penetration +50%, Spiritual Power Conduction Efficiency +80%]

[Unique Effect · Sword Spirit Resurrection: Upon activation, the Sword Spirit 'jade brilliance' will automatically manifest and attack targets independently using 100% of the wielder's base stats, lasting for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 6 hours.]

[Unique Effect · Dao Rhyme Natural Formation: This sword was nurtured by the essence of Heaven and Earth, ignoring all grade suppression.]

Hiss—

Looking at the panel of stats that could only be described as monstrous, Chen You couldn't help but gasp in cold air.

The base stats alone directly crushed his previous ascension dao sword.

Even more terrifying were the two unique effects!

Sword Spirit Resurrection?

Isn't this just an automatic combat puppet that lasts ten minutes and possesses all of his base stats?

And it's a puppet wielding a divine weapon!

He, by himself, was equivalent to a top-tier two-person battle team with perfect coordination!

And the 'Dao Rhyme Natural Formation,' ignoring grade suppression?

This meant that even if he encountered a Mythical-grade BOSS in the future, attacking it with this sword would be like cutting tofu—there would be no damage reduction whatsoever!

Chen You felt like his saliva was about to drip out.

This, damn it, was the real cheat!

Before he could recover from the shock, the jade brilliance immortal sword in front of him flashed, turning into a stream of light that merged into his palm.

In its place, a massive golden scroll slowly unfurled before him.

On the scroll, the Battle Pass rewards from Level 1 to Level 50 were densely listed.

[LV1: Innate Spirit Treasure · jade brilliance X1]

[LV2: qi gathering pill X5]

[LV3: qi gathering pill X5]

[LV4: qi gathering pill X5]

[LV5: Gold Coin X10]

...

[LV10: jade brilliance Essence X1]

[Description: Essence containing the origin of the Innate Spirit Treasure, which can grant 'jade brilliance' an extra clone.]

...

[LV20: jade brilliance Essence X1]

...

Chen You's gaze locked onto the rewards one by one, his breathing becoming rapid again.

Besides getting the great deity jade brilliance at Level 1, he could actually get a 'jade brilliance Essence' every 10 levels thereafter, gaining an extra clone?

If he leveled up to Level 50, wouldn't that mean he could control six Innate Spirit Treasures by himself?

Six times the pleasure?

No, this was an exponential surge in combat power!

Moreover, besides these core rewards, the majority of the filler items were the qi gathering pills he had been worrying about acquiring!

A full five pills for every level!

Reaching Level 50 meant nearly 250 qi gathering pills!

That would probably be enough for him to cultivate all the way from the third layer of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage just by popping pills!

Good heavens!

He wouldn't even dare to dream of something like this!

Chen You's gaze swept rapidly across the scroll, finally settling on a shining golden button in the lower right corner.

[Purchase Level: Consume 5000 Gold Coins to immediately advance the Battle Pass level by 10.]

Five thousand Gold Coins...

Converted to huaxia coin, that was a full five billion.

It wasn't expensive at all!

If possible, he was willing to spend fifty thousand, no, a hundred thousand Gold Coins to max out the Battle Pass level immediately!

"Purchase."

He chose to purchase with almost no hesitation, a thought moving in his mind.

[Ding! You have successfully consumed 5000 Gold Coins. Battle Pass Level has been increased to LV10!]

A string of system notifications sounded in his ears like firecrackers.

[Congratulations! You have obtained: jade brilliance Essence X1, qi gathering pill X35, Gold Coin X10!]

Buzz!

A core essence radiating a soft white light, beating slowly like a heart, quietly suspended in front of Chen You.

Chen You didn't hesitate at all; he reached out and pressed this mass of 'jade brilliance Essence' directly toward the immortal sword imprint in his palm.

"Merge!"

In an instant, a massive radiance erupted from his palm!

A sword intent even more majestic and vast than before shot toward the sky; the entire Supreme Tower seemed to hum gently under this sword intent.

Chen You moved his mind.

Whoosh!

Two identical jade brilliance immortal swords: one in hand, one floating in front.

He could feel that these two swords were like his two hands, controllable at will!

"This thing..."

Chen You couldn't help but murmur to himself.

This wasn't just double the attack power!

This meant he could simultaneously use two sets of sword techniques!

Left hand using 'Chaotic Stars' to clear small mobs, right hand using 'Startling Swan' to target the BOSS?

Or use both swords together, directly doubling the range and density of the 'Chaotic Stars' sword qi storm?

In an instant, countless tactical combinations that could be described as rogue-like flashed through his mind.

"Monster Siege?"

The corner of Chen You's mouth curved slightly upward.

Before, he had felt a slight pressure regarding that unknown trial, but now, he felt completely relaxed and enlightened.

Was this small skirmish enough to trouble anyone?

He was even looking forward a bit to see how many seconds those so-called demonic creatures could withstand his 'Chaotic Stars' sword formation.

"Respected supreme member, your Battle Pass for this month is now active. Don't forget to advance your level."

Hill's pleasant voice pulled Chen You back from his daydreaming.

Chen You suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, and only had one thought.

Log off!

He had to log off immediately!

Such a huge matter had to be reported to Director Li at the first opportunity!

This would completely dispel the doubts of the expert team!

"I have something else to attend to, I need to leave for a bit."

Chen You told Hill, then directly opened the system menu.

"Very well, we look forward to your next visit."

Hill bowed slightly, and beneath her impeccable etiquette, a barely perceptible glimmer flashed in her deep eyes.

...

Underground base, circular isolation space, Chen You opened his eyes.

The medical and security personnel who had been waiting there immediately stepped forward.

"Comrade Chen You, how do you feel physically?" A staff member asked with concern, handing him warm water.

Just moments ago, Chen You's physical monitoring had triggered another alarm.

However, it wasn't considered serious.

"No problem, I feel great," Chen You waved his hand and asked directly, "Where is Director Li? Are there any new developments from the expert team?"

"Director Li is at the command center. The expert team... they are in a new laboratory. I will take you there."

The staff member's expression was a bit strange, as if he was strongly suppressing some kind of shock.

Passing through several heavy alloy gates, Chen You was led into a giant laboratory.

As soon as he stepped in, he was stunned by the sight before him.
