Chapter 45: Changing into a Better Outfit

Gu Jiangming can actually see his own character card himself.

Values such as Mana, Knowledge, Charm, Morality, and Fortune can all be displayed on his screen.

Moreover, every time he undergoes Reincarnation, these abilities of his are randomly initialized, just like rerolling a starter account.

The only thing that remains unchanged is Knowledge.

For some unknown reason, after so many cycles of Reincarnation, Gu Jiangming's Knowledge has remained at a value of 100 points.

This is an extremely high index.

Although he does not know the valid source of this Knowledge value, generally speaking, Gu Jiangming still does not know its primary function.

Looking at abilities alone, the talent value of Mana has a more intuitive visual effect.

The mastery of divine abilities and the amplification of their power basically depend on the growth potential of the Mana talent.

Gu Jiangming is lucky that his starting cultivation path was Body Cultivation; through the method of Body Refining, he quickly broke through his early-stage cultivation and made sufficient progress.

The Dragon Aspect Heart Manifestation is an even rarer Body Refining technique that is not constrained by Mana cultivation, which allowed Gu Jiangming's progress to be rapid.

The main thing is that Gu Jiangming is not greedy.

He did not attempt to develop in all aspects.

With this kind of cultivation, the further one goes, the more resources are invested; if every ability were maxed out, who knows how many resources it would consume.

Greed leads to poor digestion; it is better to specialize in one path and max it out completely.

Moreover, Gu Jiangming's line of thinking is very accurate; the Body Cultivation method is at least something that can be retained and attempted for use.

Who knows if the path of cultivating spells and divine abilities is still viable in the current era?

【After you comprehended the Non-Self Sword Intent, your path of the sword unfolded; this is your Sword Dao talent tree.】

On the screen, centered on the Non-Self Sword Intent, a towering tree grew, detailing the conditions one must meet to obtain upgrades for this talent tree.

【Use the Non-Self Sword Intent to strike ten thousand times to increase your attack speed.】

【Use the Non-Self Sword Intent to suppress more than ten thousand people with your aura to increase your sword intent pressure.】

【Combine the Non-Self Sword Intent with random sword arts to increase your comprehension of the sword intent's artistic conception.】

【You attempt to strike the collapsed grotto once again.】

【You slash out a sword mark nearly twenty meters deep, but when your sword Qi penetrates to the twenty-meter mark, it seems to touch something and immediately dissipates.】

Gu Jiangming currently has strong single-target damage capabilities but lacks any particularly astonishing means of destruction; the Dragon Aspect Heart Manifestation increases resistance to damage and physical strength, but does not improve destructive power.

Fortunately, this is indeed a safe house, and Gu Jiangming still has sufficient time to develop his Dragon Aspect Heart Manifestation.

He remembers that this technique has a transformation effect when cultivated to a certain realm, and by that time, he should be able to break out of the grotto.

The main issue is that there is a slacking woman here.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiangming grinds his teeth in anger.

Compared to him clicking on various interfaces and talent trees in a dizzying manner, trying to figure out how to further improve himself,

Wang Qinghe's past life was spent here taking care of the child every day.

Teaching their son how to cultivate.

Be of some use, sister.

Your Zhenggang Sect is, after all, a prestigious righteous sect, and logically speaking, it should have many powerful spells and divine abilities; do you not have any high-damage divine abilities that can pierce through the grotto?

However, after Gu Jiangming takes a deep breath,

He endures it.

After all, it is not like he is the Real Person operating it, with such an intense desire for the main storyline.

And thinking about it, after giving birth, the focus would indeed shift to taking care of the child.

After all, what mother does not cherish her own child?

Especially since the one Wang Qinghe is raising is their own child, Gu Jiangming decides to give up on criticizing this romantic connection who is already considered his wife from a past life.

【In the twenty-third year, your child Gu Shengxi has grown to the age of 5; through Wang Qinghe's earnest teaching, he has already passed the Qi Refining Stage.】

【You engage in a heated discussion regarding Gu Shengxi's cultivation.】

【In the end, you reach a compromise.】

【In the morning, Gu Shengxi cultivates the spells and divine abilities of the Zhenggang Sect; in the afternoon, Gu Shengxi cultivates your sword arts and Body Cultivation.】

【At the same time, you tell Wang Qinghe about your discovery.】

【You feel that with your abilities, you should have long since reached the time to break open the grotto, but whenever your sword intent exceeds a certain limit, it hits an object like a barrier and cannot penetrate it.】

【Based on what you said, Wang Qinghe goes to the position where you struck the grotto; after she carefully examines it, she suddenly realizes.】

【"I see what the matter is."】

【"It turns out that the commotion inside the grotto was too great back then, and Senior Brother Zhenyangzi's strike of Heavenly Gang Five Thunders hit the protective array of the Taicang Ruins, thus causing the cave dwelling to collapse."】

【"This is intended to trap those who violently break the array, hoping to directly take the treasures within the ruins."】

【"But fortunately, the Taicang Ruins have existed for too long, and this array has long since expired; if it were from an even more ancient time, I fear even those at the Spirit Transformation Stage would be trapped here."】

【"As for now, as long as we find the Array Eye and cause this protective array to dissipate, it will be much easier for us to get out."】

【"Wait for me to take a look."】

【Wang Qinghe reaches out and touches the rubble.】

【"The Array Eye is among these stones; as long as you break the Array Eye, it will only be a matter of time before we get out."】

【In the twenty-fourth year, the Dragon Aspect Heart Manifestation you are cultivating finally breaks through to the third level, and you comprehend the first stage of the Dragon Aspect Heart Manifestation: Virtual Form.】

【Through Virtual Form, you can let the golden dragon within your body shroud your entire body, as if a divine dragon is protecting you; in this state, your strength will be greatly enhanced.】

【Because your Non-Self Sword Intent and the golden dragon appear to repel each other, under their mutual interaction, the will of the Non-Self Sword Intent appears even more intense; it devours and assimilates the original form of the golden dragon.】

【The golden dragon within your body gradually transforms into a dragon form as black as ink.】

【One day, you hold your breath in front of the collapsed grotto, lift your hands toward the sky, and the Black Dragon within your body swirls around your entire body, forming a virtual phantom.】

【With this palm strike, under a loud boom, the Array Eye of the Taicang Ruins shattered, and a hole one hundred meters long was blasted straight through.】

【A beam of light refracted in from the outside, and you finally saw the sunlight that had not been seen for a long time.】

【In the twenty-fifth year, three figures slowly walked out from the entrance of the Taicang Ruins.】

【You finally walked out of the Taicang Ruins.】

【Congratulations on completing the Taicang Ruins dungeon.】

【And you have obtained all the treasures within the Taicang Ruins.】

【And you named the nameless sword inside this sword box the Taicang Sword, to pay tribute to this senior who had long since passed away.】

【After you walked out of the Taicang Ruins, you fell into confusion once again, because you seemed to have no particular place you wanted to go.】

【Wang Qinghe suggested to you that you travel together to the Zhenggang Sect to report your safety to her father, the Sect Leader; after all, they had been missing for over twenty years, and it was time to go back and take a look.】

【Of course, you could also return to your hometown first to visit your family.】

【You shook your head and did not elaborate on your family background.】

【You agreed to Wang Qinghe's suggestion.】

【You thought that after paying a visit to Wang Qinghe's family, you would return to Jiangyang Fishing Village to recount your experiences over these years to Her Highness the Dragon Princess one by one.】

【After all, you do not have many people left to confide in, and this trip back can also be considered reporting your safety to her.】

【You followed in Wang Qinghe's footsteps and set out on the road to the Zhenggang Sect.】

At this moment, Wang Qinghe was lying on the bed, her feet propped up and swinging constantly, with a few pieces of pastry on the headboard, watching the scene of 【Mie Changsheng】 in her mind while eating.

Her current image had nothing of a refined young lady about it.

But in fact, refined young ladies are only for outsiders to see; at home, one naturally does whatever is comfortable.

The joy brought by 【Mie Changsheng】 could no longer be described in a simple sentence.

Watching Gu Jiangming, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, Wang Qinghe felt some small thoughts arise in her heart.

After all, he is our first-lifetime romantic connection.

Looking at him like this, it looks as if I, Miss Wang, usually bully him.

No, no!

I must get him a nice set of clothes.

Thinking of this, Wang Qinghe's pretty face could not help but turn slightly red.

Why does it feel like she is somewhat identifying with the role of a wife?

But it doesn't matter.

No one should know.
