Chapter 9

nan shen bu zhou.

Azure Cloud Mountain.

Half a year has passed!

By continuously consuming Heavenly Immortal Pills, Ye Yang's cultivation broke through, entering the True Immortal Realm.

We need to include character names: Ye Yang. According to rules, we must use pinyin for person's name: Ye Yang. Keep capitalized? Usually "Ye Yang". We'll output Ye Yang.

Also, Heavenly Immortal Pill means Heavenly Immortal Pill, and True Immortal Realm means True Immortal Realm. Cultivation level is not needed.

As Ye Yang's cultivation broke through, the Primordial Cauldron, Floating Life Dao Robe, and Qiankun Ring all upgraded, becoming upper-grade immortal artifact treasures.

One year later, Ye Yang spent 170,000 system points to use the Anointing the Crown under the guidance of the Unknown Existence, raising his alchemist rank to a fourth-grade top-tier alchemist.

The system's reward arrived as scheduled!

This reward was also a treasure—the Great Wasteland Destruction Halberd!

The Great Wasteland Destruction Halberd is a growing treasure, a pure slaughter-type treasure, currently at the upper-grade immortal artifact level.

Ye Yang is very fond of the Great Wasteland Destruction Halberd!

The reason is simple: Ye Yang hasn't practiced combat techniques, yet his internal magic power surpasses that of fellow cultivators of the same realm. With this slaughter-type treasure, Ye Yang only needs to activate the Great Wasteland Destruction Halberd to unleash tremendous destructive power.

Of course!

Ye Yang hasn't forgotten that cultivation is his foundation; therefore, he once again buckled down to continue his alchemical endeavors as he advanced to a fourth-grade top-tier alchemist.

The pills he refined also transformed from Heavenly Immortal Pills to True Immortal Pills.

A single perfect True Immortal Pill can increase a True Immortal cultivator's cultivation by a hundred thousand years.

Five years have passed!

Ye Yang's cultivation broke through, entering the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

With Ye Yang's cultivation breakthrough, his four treasures all advanced to supreme-grade immortal artifacts; ten years have passed.

Ye Yang spent 1,700,000 system points to use the Anointing the Crown again under the guidance of the Unknown Existence, becoming a fifth-grade top-tier alchemist; however, the system's reward surprised him greatly.

Because this time the system's reward was not a treasure but a divine ability—the Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations—which was widely known in the world before Ye Yang's transmigration.

Because it is one of the signature abilities of the kalpa's protagonist, Sun Wukong.

And after obtaining the Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ye Yang quickly burst into laughter.

The Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations are not merely a simple transformation technique.

The Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations refer to seventy-two different lesser divine abilities: Penetrating the Obscure, Expelling Gods, Shouldering Mountain, Blocking Water, Borrowing Wind, Spreading Fog, Praying for Clear Weather, Praying for Rain, Sitting in Fire, Entering Water. Each of these lesser divine abilities possesses extraordinary power under normal circumstances.

Only cultivators of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm can live as long as heaven, without worrying about their lifespan.

But if one masters all seventy-two lesser divine abilities to a profound level!

Even if the practitioner's cultivation has not reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm!

He can also continually extend his lifespan by avoiding the three disasters of Heavenly Thunder, Yin Fire, and Bi Wind, achieving a de facto immortality; this is not an orthodox cultivation method.

To some extent!

The Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations can even be considered heterodox practices.

However, the Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations also have unique aspects, being a divine ability technique that many cultivators dream of—at least!

Ye Yang is still very satisfied with the Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations; to better cultivate them, he first spent points to have the system custom-make the pills he needed, with the condition that taking the pills would allow him to cultivate the divine ability to perfection.

And the system did not disappoint Ye Yang.

After deducting 80,000 system points!

It provided Ye Yang with a five-revolutions pill—the Lesser Divine Ability Pill.

【Lesser Divine Ability Pill: Five-revolutions pill, essential for cultivating lesser divine abilities!】

A Mysterious Immortal Realm cultivator who consumes a perfect-grade Lesser Divine Ability Pill can quickly master a lesser divine ability to perfection; to fully master the Earthly Evil Seventy-Two Transformations, Ye Yang refined over a hundred Lesser Divine Ability Pills.

Half of the Lesser Divine Ability Pills were sold to exchange for system points, while the other half were consumed to cultivate the seventy-two lesser divine abilities; before long, decades passed with the help of the Lesser Divine Ability Pills.

Ye Yang cultivated all seventy-two lesser divine abilities to perfection; from then on!

Ye Yang's life returned to the right track.

Exchanging pills, refining pills, selling pills, consuming pills; the pills he refined turned into five-revolutions pills—Mysterious Immortal Pills.

A single perfect Mysterious Immortal Pill can increase a Mysterious Immortal cultivator's cultivation by one million years.

By continually consuming Mysterious Immortal Pills, in just fifteen years!

Ye Yang thus progressed from early Mysterious Immortal to early Golden Immortal.

With Ye Yang's cultivation breakthrough, his four treasures seemed to awaken; originally merely supreme-grade immortal artifacts, they transcended lower- and middle-grade acquired spirit treasures, directly transforming into upper-grade acquired spirit treasures.

Even their powers underwent significant change: 【Primordial Cauldron: Upper-grade acquired spirit treasure, aiding alchemy and forging, possessing the power to seal time and space, with extraordinary might】.

The Primordial Cauldron gained an additional power to suppress time and space.

When Ye Yang fully activates it, the heavens and earth within a hundred-li radius fall into stillness: 【Floating Life Dao Robe: Upper-grade acquired spirit treasure, with extremely strong defense, capable of gathering spirit, dispelling inner demons, and accelerating magic power recovery】.

The Floating Life Dao Robe gained an additional ability to gather spirit.

Gathering spirit means collecting the surrounding heaven-earth spiritual energy, which greatly aids cultivation; unfortunately!

Ye Yang doesn't really cultivate.

He prefers to consume pills to quickly boost his cultivation: 【Qiankun Ring: Upper-grade acquired spirit treasure, containing a special medium thousand world within, capable of storing items and borrowing the world's power】.

The Qiankun Ring underwent the greatest change; its special inner world has become a medium thousand world, allowing Ye Yang to borrow its power once every ten days.

Once Ye Yang borrows the power of the medium thousand world, his early Golden Immortal cultivation instantly surges to the peak of Golden Immortal, maintainable for one day.

【Great Wasteland Destruction Halberd: Upper-grade acquired spirit treasure, possessing tremendous slaughter power, capable of devouring opponents' magic power to benefit the wielder】.

The Great Wasteland Destruction Halberd's change is obvious; it can devour opponents' magic power in battle and feed it back to Ye Yang.

This also means Ye Yang never needs to worry about running out of magic power in battle; regarding the changes of these four treasures!

Ye Yang is very excited!

Acquired spirit treasure, although it cannot compare to innate spirit treasure!

But the strength of Acquired Spiritual Treasures is also not to be underestimated! Because within Acquired Spiritual Treasures there exist Acquired Seals of varying numbers! The so-called Acquired Seals are essentially the Dao patterns and rule power of heaven and earth! And the number of Acquired Seals also determines the grade and might of Acquired Spiritual Treasures! 1-12 paths of Acquired Seals make a lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure! 13-24 paths of Acquired Seals make a middle-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure! 25-36 paths of Acquired Seals make an upper-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure! 37-48 paths of Acquired Seals make a Top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure! 49 paths of Acquired Seals make an Acquired Supreme Treasure! And Ye Yang's four magic treasures all possess 36 paths of Acquired Seals! Even among upper-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures, they are the most top-notch existence!
