Chapter 930 - 750: Talent Explosion

In the past few days, aside from the Lion Seal, Ape King Seal, White Tiger Seal, and other lineages that offended him,

many sects sought to flatter him by actively offering various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Lou Yi.

It was tantamount to gathering the vast resources of half the world to support him alone.

Lou Yi also successively found key items corresponding to his talents like Thunder Protection, Stealth, Wolf Howl, Illusion Technique, and more.

A whole bunch of talents could be upgraded.

Lou Yi upgraded all these talents effortlessly.

First, he upgraded the Fire Resistance Talent.

This talent played a significant role when Lou Yi first clashed with cultivators, fighting that crazy female cultivator from the Five Elements Sect.

Fireproof (Mastery 0/500 + 1 Fireproof Golden Toad Skin) → Fireproof (Minor Achievement 0/2000 + 1 Essence of the Taiyin)

Unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind...

The introduction of the Fire Resistance Talent also underwent subtle changes.

Fireproof (Passive): The body’s resistance to flames slowly grows over time.

Fireproof (Active): Absorbs 99.9% of the fire damage received by the body as long as it doesn’t exceed the limit.

Compared to the 99% at the Mastery Level, it may not seem like much of an improvement, but actually, the resistance to flames has increased tenfold!

That means now, facing Fire Element Cultivators, as long as they’re not far beyond the Nascent Soul True Monarch level.

The damage from the opponent’s magic is filtered by the Fire Resistance Talent, and only a thousandth can ultimately affect him.

After the Fire Resistance Talent, Lou Yi set his sights on the Wind Stabilization Talent.

In the past, when facing the Bone Spike Tiger Demon close to the Demon General level, he was only at Qi Cultivation Second Level.

But he forcibly resisted the Black Wind Technique using Wind Stabilization, Tenacity, and other talents, and managed to kill it, winning the favor of the two women, Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi.

Wind Stabilization (Minor Achievement 0/3000 + 1 Divine Wind Dew) → Wind Stabilization (Great Success 0/10000 + 1 Wind and Thunder Soul)

Unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind...

Then, the introduction to the Wind Stabilization Talent was also updated.

Wind Stabilization (Passive): Adaptability in harsh wind environments grows slowly over time.

Wind Stabilization (Active): Absorbs 99.99% of the wind damage received by the body as long as it doesn’t exceed the limit.

Lou Yi’s resistance to wind element magic has now reached an astounding level.

After Fireproof and Wind Stabilization, he upgraded the Thunder Protection Talent.

Thunder Protection (Skilled 0/100 + 1 Thunder Stone) → Thunder Protection (Mastery 0/300 + 1 Thunder Core)

Any and all thunder element magic, only 1% of the damage can ultimately affect Lou Yi.

Stealth (Introductory 0/30 + 1 Shadow Moss) → Stealth (Skilled 0/100 + 1 Turtle Breath Jade)

Stealth: The body can absorb, reflect, and refract light to merge as much as possible with the environment.

After enhancing the Stealth Talent, Lou Yi’s ability to absorb light further improved.

He could even walk under a bright sunlight, and at most people would see a faint, unobtrusive shadow.

If the talent continues to improve, Lou Yi is confident of removing the shadow under the sun, becoming a truly ’transparent man’.

Wolf Howl (Introductory 0/30 + 1 Soul Stone) → Wolf Howl (Skilled 0/100 + 1 Thunder Sound Dates) → Wolf Howl (Mastery 0/100 + 1 Wind Beast Throat Bone)

Wolf Howl: Can emit sound waves containing spiritual attacks, attack strength is related to host’s Divine Sense and talent proficiency.

"Howl!"

Standing in place, Lou Yi opened his mouth, and the moon-white sound waves visibly surged out like sea waves from his mouth.

In an instant, everything within hundreds of feet in the surrounding dense forest turned to dust!

Further away, many birds, beasts, and insects fell to the ground, their forms mostly intact, but their Divine Souls were extinguished, dead beyond death.

A large number of flowers withered, wild grass dried up, a thousand-foot area became a lifeless wasteland!

Illusion Technique (Introductory 0/30 + 1 Thousand Illusion Spirit Flower) → Illusion Technique (Skilled 0/100 + 1 Mirage Dragon Pearl)

Illusion Technique: Can resonate with others’ spirits to weave fictional scenes.

After enhancing the Illusion Technique, it can be used not only against enemies to play tricks on them.

The greater role is in feedback to Array Cultivation.

Lou Yi once obtained a precious secret manual called "Array Scripture" in the True Monarch’s Treasure Vault, an advanced version of "Basic Array Formulas."

Originally, he had reached a mastery level with the Array Scripture, but after the Illusion Technique talent upgrade, Array Scripture naturally progressed as well.

Array Scripture (Mastery 0/60000) → Array Scripture (Minor Achievement 0/200000)

Unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind.

In the memory, Lou Yi became an Array Dao Cultivator, after hundreds of years of cultivation, becoming a grandmaster of arrays.

Returning to reality, Lou Yi’s mind was filled with extremely powerful high-tier arrays like the ’All Heaven Star Array’, ’Yin-Yang Dust Array’, ’Ten Thousand Corpses Heaven-Sealing Array’ and more.

He waved his hand, and the Spiritual Essence of the early-stage Foundation Establishment all surged out.

It directly constructed complex array patterns in the surrounding void, piecing them together.

Without auxiliary items like Array Plates or Array Flags, he could create arrays purely with Spiritual Essence in the void.

Although the power was limited, the powerful combat ability of the array could easily achieve invincibility in the Foundation Establishment realm.

Celestial Horse Treading the Stars (Beginner 0/100+1 Flying Crane Grass) → Celestial Horse Treading the Stars (Skilled 0/300+1 Cloud-Stepping Sand)

Celestial Horse Treading the Stars: A natural step technique of the Celestial Demon Horse, always catching others by surprise, optimizing body technique skills such as evasion, movement, and stepping...

After the advancement of this talent, Lou Yi’s speed increased by another small margin.

Originally, after using the Thousand-Meter Grandmaster Realm, his maximum speed could approach ten thousand times the speed of sound.

Now, it had increased by at least ten percent.

Don’t underestimate this ten percent.

The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to improve; sometimes a tiny difference can be the distance between life and death.

Moreover, the greatest function of Celestial Horse Treading the Stars lies in body technique.

"Celestial Horse Treading the Stars."

As Lou Yi activated this talent.

His figure turned into a flash of light, traversing the void.

Sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, sometimes above, sometimes below, unpredictable and elusive.

With just this body technique talent, he could leave many Great Demons and even Golden Cores helpless.

Earth Escape (Skilled 0/100+1 Earth Mother Qi) → Earth Escape (Mastery 0/300+1 Earth Vein Core)

Earth Escape: Can slightly communicate with the earth’s essence, moving through soil environments...

After Lou Yi exhibited the Earth Escape talent.

The whole person seamlessly merged into the ground, even the soil beneath his feet no longer parted, silent and undisturbed.

Simply because his fusion with the earth reached a new level.

As for the speed of Earth Escape, it increased from originally ten times that of normal people running to over a hundred times, comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator sprinting full force on open ground.

It’s not much use for traveling, but in combat it can often catch opponents off guard.

Eyes of Truth (Beginner 0/100+1 Light Condensing Pearl) → Eyes of Truth (Skilled 0/300+1 Yin-Yang Lotus)

Eyes of Truth: Can see through illusions, disguises, and anomalies, can also shoot beams causing both physical and Divine Soul damage...

Just recently Lou Yi improved his illusion talent, and the Eyes of Truth pupil skill talent is the nemesis of all illusions, able to see through delusions, with no disguise able to hide under its gaze.

Poison (Minor Achievement 0/2000+1 Three-Life Vine) → Poison (Great Success 0/2000+1 Spirit-Extinguishing Miasma)

After the Poison talent upgrade, there were significant changes to its description.

Poison (Passive): Gradually enhances resistance to any toxins

Poison (Active): Produces invisible toxins, given enough time, can bypass certain defenses to inflict irreversible damage to the body and Divine Soul...

’Invisible toxin?’

Lou Yi’s heart was moved, and he immediately showcased the Poison talent.

An invisible ripple rapidly spread out from him as the center.

Everything affected by the wave was dissolved.

It was a thorough dissolution without any residue, far more terrifying than the recently introduced Wolf Howl talent.

If it were to be applied to an enemy...

Lou Yi’s eyes lit up, thinking the Poison talent would become a new formidable weapon.

Moreover, this talent now no longer requires spitting, preserving personal image.

The disdain he originally felt in his heart also faded significantly.

He looked at the Attribute Panel, with more than half of his talents improved, his strength had progressed a lot.

Of course, the talents also have rankings, like Wind Stabilization, Disguise, and tenacity, important talents that have not yet acquired corresponding key items.

Lou Yi was not in a hurry, after all, how long had he been in this world?

As time goes by, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should continue to come into possession.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Immortal Crane Seal Lineage sent a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, giving Lou Yi great surprise.

"Time Grass, already vanished in the Vast Sea Realm, didn’t expect to find it in True Profound Continent!

Divination Talent, a talent ranked at the top in all talents, can finally be advanced!"

Lou Yi had a premonition.

With the advancement of the Divination Talent, the difficulty of finding the way back home will significantly decrease.
