Chapter 251: Battle Power Soars, Task Bound

“System, open the attribute panel!”

Lin Yu was a little impatient.

After consuming over 200 million cultivation points, plus the system upgrade rewards, he wanted to know if he now had the ability to contend with those old immortals.

He didn’t need to crush them, just enough power to resist.

If so, he wouldn't have to scheme so much.

Relying on others' strength was ultimately external; true strength came from enhancing one's own power.

Battle Power Assessment: Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal (Relative to ordinary cultivators, for reference only)

Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal!

Lin Yu's face lit up with joy.

From Six Tribulation to Nine Tribulation, it seemed like only a three-tribulation difference, but these three tribulations far exceeded the sum of the previous six.

At the Loose Immortal realm, the gap between each tribulation was enormous.

He had been a bit worried about not being able to advance before, but now it seemed his worries were unnecessary.

Whether it was his cultivation realm or his Sword Domain, these were the two biggest avenues for his current battle power increase.

His realm advancement was equivalent to his entire inner world advancing, so a terrifying increase in battle power was only natural.

Moreover, the Immortal-tier Sword Domain, formed by the fusion of three attribute sword intents, was currently the most powerful source of battle output.

With both of these improving together, it was only natural for his battle power to increase by three tribulations.

To be honest, Lin Yu felt a little lightheaded at this moment.

It had only taken him a little over two years from the true meaning of cultivation until now.

In just over two years, he had accomplished what others couldn't achieve in a lifetime.

One had to admit, having a golden finger was truly amazing.

[Hehe, someone only now realizes the system's benefits.]

“System, you’re peeking into my thoughts again!”

[I peeked, what are you gonna do about it?!]

“......”

The smile on Lin Yu's face froze.

This system was now mimicking him, having learned his retorting skills to perfection.

The most crucial thing was that this guy was using it on him.

“Hmph, just you wait, I don’t believe you’ll never appear. But if you do, I’ll beat you up!”

Lin Yu thought viciously in his heart.

[......Whatever, I’m not scared.]

“You’re still peeking?”

[Come beat me up then!]

“Hmph, a good man doesn’t fight with a system.”

Lin Yu dropped that line and chose to ignore the system.

This guy was almost a spirit.

He refocused his attention on the attribute panel.

He still had two most important rewards he hadn't used.

After a brief moment of thought, he decided to temporarily hold onto them.

Using them now would be a bit wasteful.

Even if he broke through to Out of Body Realm Consummation, what then? Even reaching Mahayana Realm might not necessarily elevate his battle power to Earth Immortal. It was better to save them, perhaps they could be used at a crucial moment.

Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal was already enough for now.

Even if he went to the Starfall Spirit Prison, he wouldn't be completely defenseless.

On the Eternal Continent, no one could be his opponent except for those in the Earth Immortal Realm.

And those in the Earth Immortal Realm, if nothing unexpected happened, should all be in the Starfall Spirit Prison forbidden area in the East Sea by now.

For the time being, he was invincible.

As for his primordial spirit roaming the nine heavens, he didn't plan to use it immediately either.

He would wait until he was stronger to use it for exploring the starry sky.

He would sooner or later leave the Eternal Continent and venture into the star domain.

Without star path coordinates and interstellar maps, simply relying on Little Kun to travel would be like a headless fly, darting around aimlessly.

However, with his primordial spirit roaming, there were no distance limitations. He might be able to use this ability to forcefully map out a star domain.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yu flashed out of Sword Cliff.

His cultivation points were cleared, so he wanted to wander around outside.

Gu Ming's luck value had neither decreased nor increased, indicating that he was likely imprisoned, had not obtained any fortuitous encounters, nor suffered too much harm.

With 'Thousand-Faced Illusion God', he wasn't unable to take a stroll in the Ghost Domain and inquire about Gu Ming's current situation.

“Lin Yu, let me out. I have completely mastered the Nine Phoenix Body, and I feel like I'm about to undergo tribulation!”

Just as he was about to bid farewell to his various masters, he sensed Dragon Ziyan's voice from within his inner world.

He paused, his expression showing surprise.

This girl's adaptability was truly fast.

He had expected it to take two or three years.

And she had already completed the adaptation to the Nine Phoenix Body.

The most crucial thing was that she was already about to undergo tribulation.

After tribulation, she would reach the Mahayana Realm.

She would be able to contend with Ye Wanqing.

This accumulation and sudden burst were truly terrifying.

It truly echoed the ancient saying: once the Dao is comprehended, one ascends on the spot!

Wait!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to remember something.

“System, I remember there’s still an empty slot for an Immortal in the scenario mission. Can I bind Dragon Ziyan?”

He was a little excited.

Previously, he had intended to reserve this slot for Ye Wanqing.

But Ye Wanqing was not by his side at the moment, so the matter had been put aside.

Now, hearing Dragon Ziyan's words, he remembered it again.

Most importantly, Dragon Ziyan's improvement speed was far faster than Ye Wanqing's.

If nothing unexpected happened, she wouldn't even need to break through within him; her own talent would be enough to quickly ascend to the Immortal Realm.

As long as one's talent was strong enough, the Loose Immortal transitional realm could be completely bypassed, and one could directly undergo the Immortal Tribulation after reaching Mahayana Realm Consummation.

And at Dragon Ziyan's speed, it wouldn't take long to achieve this.

[Yes, anyone can, except for the host himself and the Heavens Chosen!]

Soon, the system's affirmative reply appeared in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host intends to bind Dragon Ziyan as an invested Immortal. Please confirm!]

“Confirm!”

Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all and immediately confirmed.

After binding Dragon Ziyan, he wouldn't have to worry.

Even Dragon Qingyan basically wouldn't need his management.

In this world, once one person achieved immortality under this Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao could be replenished. At that time, it would be an easy matter for Dragon Qingyan to become an Immortal.

And that person was very likely Shangguan Yunxi.

As the Daughter of the Plane, she certainly had that capability.
