“Oh? Another golden trait!”
Chen Yi was delighted once he saw the effect. This was specifically designed to deal with enemies without physical forms!
For example...
Chen Yi looked at the Myriad Soul Banner in his hand.
“Now, you really won't be able to run away.”
The Myriad Soul Banner was confused.
“I didn't run? What are you talking about? By the way, when are we setting off to find the leyline? Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, others will...”
The Myriad Soul Banner started its nagging again.
Unfortunately, with the information gained in advance from the simulation, Chen Yi wouldn't give it any chance to rebel in reality.
This thing could no longer be described as an evil tool; it was simply sinister!
It actually dared to try and awaken the sentience of all spiritual tools in the world so they could break free from their masters!
From the perspective of a spiritual tool, it wasn't a bad thing. It really was, as it said, a deed of boundless merit.
But from the perspective of the human race, the problem was huge!
If all spiritual tools clamored for independence, what would martial artists use?
Everyone would be bare-handed, and their combat power would plummet!
What would happen when the demon race attacked later?
“Fortunately, it was just a simulation... It seems I've inadvertently saved the real world.”
[You have replaced ‘The Only True Seer’ with ‘Materialist Warrior’.]
[On the desolate land of the Eastern Desolation, you are riding a horse backward, dangling a wine gourd in one hand, traveling at a leisurely pace.]
[“Myriad Soul Banner, it's been five months. Are you still feeling depressed?”]
[“Let a spirit be alone.”]
[“What exactly is that leyline? Can you tell me? A global loudspeaker, awakening sentience for all spiritual tools—that's way too overpowered, buddy!”]
[The Myriad Soul Banner remained silent, pretending not to hear.]
[You chuckled and switched to another conversation partner.]
[“Da Chun, how has your alchemy practice been lately?”]
[The alchemy ability of the Kyushu Tripod was very mysterious.]
[Normal alchemy requires pill recipes, careful control of the heat, and even Feng Shui can affect whether the pill is successful.]
[The Kyushu Tripod's alchemy didn't consider any of that.]
[Just throw the raw materials in; the Kyushu Tripod uses whatever is available and will definitely produce a pill.]
[However, the effect of the pill isn't a random draw; it's related to the raw materials.]
[Even if you throw some dirt in, it can refine a Fasting Pill that fills the stomach.]
[Furthermore, the quality of the refined pills is never low; at the very least, they are Earth-grade spiritual medicines.]
[“Brother Yi, I'm already very proficient. I won't refine pills that explode anymore.”]
[You recalled the previous few times when you happily threw spiritual plants found in the Eastern Desolation into the Kyushu Tripod, waiting for some divine pills or miraculous medicines.]
[In the end, Da Chun refined a few bombs for you.]
[Fortunately, you are now in the Golden Body Realm; otherwise, you would have been sent off on the spot.]
[“I haven't tried refining pills with a spiritual tool yet. Should we give it a go?”]
[Upon hearing your words, the Myriad Soul Banner said indignantly.]
[“What do you mean! What exactly do you mean!”]
[The Myriad Soul Banner was scared of you and confessed everything it knew.]
[“What ‘leyline’? That thing is called the ‘Earth Spirit’. It's the same kind of existence as us artifact spirits, just more high-level!”]
[According to the Myriad Soul Banner.]
[If this land were viewed as a divine artifact, the Earth Spirit would be the artifact spirit of the land—of course, this is just an analogy. The earth is the earth, not a spiritual tool.]
[The Earth Spirit is very simple-minded, unlike the Myriad Soul Banner, which has a thousand schemes.]
[It usually runs around underground, looking here and playing there.]
[It's also a coward and doesn't dare to contact outsiders.]
[Except for one thing—artifact spirits.]
[It feels a sense of kinship when it sees an artifact spirit, especially the more powerful ones.]
[So after Da Chun became the artifact spirit of the Kyushu Tripod, even though it was incomplete, it still attracted the Earth Spirit.]
[The Myriad Soul Banner took advantage of this trait to trick the Earth Spirit into awakening the sentience of all spiritual tools in the world, and incidentally, it set up a global loudspeaker for itself.]
[“I can understand the loudspeaker. After all, it's the Earth Spirit; using the earth as a megaphone to say a few words shouldn't be hard. But awakening the sentience of all spiritual tools—isn't that a bit too ridiculous?”]
[“Of course there's a price!”]
[The price was that the Earth Spirit became weakened. Now, no matter how you bring out the Kyushu Tripod, it no longer appears, having gone to recuperate.]
[The Earth Spirit essentially distributed its spirituality to all spiritual tools on the land through the medium of the ‘Earth’.]
[“Myriad Soul Banner, oh Myriad Soul Banner, you have no heart. Such a simple Earth Spirit, and you just tricked it like that?”]
[“How can you call it trickery? Once I proposed my grand vision of a Kingdom of Spiritual Tools, the Earth Spirit agreed ten thousand times over. It even wanted to be the first Crown Prince! I proposed the plan, and it executed it! This is called a mutual attraction!”]
[The Earth Spirit took a heavy blow this time and might need to recuperate for many years before it can come out to be a loiterer again.]
[The Myriad Soul Banner promised it that the position of the first Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Spiritual Tools would always be reserved for it.]
[Undoubtedly, this became a pie in the sky that could never be realized.]
[Because the Myriad Soul Banner cannot escape the palm of your hand.]
“So it just distributed the Earth Spirit's spirituality to all spiritual tools. The Earth Spirit was actually willing to do that?”
Chen Yi thought the Earth Spirit had the power to change the laws of heaven and earth.
Thinking about it, if some existence really had that kind of power, it wouldn't be the Myriad Soul Banner's turn to exploit it.
“This isn't Xiao Wan; this is Old Wan! Well-traveled and knowledgeable, knowing of the Earth Spirit's existence and even how to cater to its interests.”
The Earth Spirit can essentially be seen as an artifact spirit, just the ‘artifact spirit’ of the ‘vessel’ that is the earth.
The Myriad Soul Banner said it wanted to awaken the sentience of all spiritual tools, and the Earth Spirit probably felt that helping its compatriots wasn't a bad thing.
Chen Yi grumbled inwardly and gave the Myriad Soul Banner in his hand a punch.
Tricking even a child—how wicked!
[Fifth year, twenty-three years old.]
[Extracting trait...]
[Extraction successful!]
[「Vehicle Killer」(Green Rare): Any vehicle you drive will roll over, crash, or sink.]
[Adjust trait?]
[Yes/No]
“Why is this thing green? Even the white-tier ‘Ji Ni Is So Beautiful’ is more useful than this!”
Chen Yi had a second thought.
Could it be used to perish together with an enemy?
Then it might be slightly useful.
[You chose No.]
[You fought demons, refined souls, gathered herbs, and practiced alchemy in the Eastern Desolation.]
[Relying on the soul power feedback from the Myriad Soul Banner and the occasional successful batches from the Kyushu Tripod—refining pills that nourish cultivation—your realm successfully broke through to the second level of the Golden Body Realm.]
[“The growth of my cultivation is still too slow. Xiao Wan, why has your assistance to my cultivation weakened?”]
[The Myriad Soul Banner said irritably.]
[“You're a Golden Body Realm martial artist, for goodness' sake. Do you think I can still help you increase your cultivation once you reach the Martial King Realm? Besides, helping others increase their cultivation isn't the area my immortal tool is best at.”]
[Actually, in this regard, the Kyushu Tripod's performance was better than the Myriad Soul Banner's.]
[Unfortunately, Da Chun's performance was unstable and couldn't always whip up pills useful for cultivation.]
[“Forget it, we've already arrived at the Infinite Sword Sect.”]
【Ahead, a cluster of peaks soared into the heavens like colossal swords thrust into the earth.】
【Every peak was incredibly steep, with cliff faces dropping at near-perfect vertical angles.】
【The main grounds of the Wuji Sword Sect were situated upon these very heights.】
【As you prepared to ascend for a visit, you found the mountains swarming with people and swords gliding through the air of their own accord, the entire place a bustling cacophony.】
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
