Chapter 165: Ch 165- Secret Realm (11)

Mo Yuan took a deep breath before moving closer to the container.

He held it with both hands and slowly took a sip of the Earth Heart Nectar.

The moment the golden liquid entered his body, a strange energy suddenly spread through him.

It was completely different from Primordial Qi.

The energy flowed through his body before quickly rushing toward his head. In the next moment, Mo Yuan felt his consciousness shake.

The familiar scene appeared again.

He found himself standing inside the mysterious space where his Talent Tree was located.

At the very top, the golden Copy and Paste Talent still floated like the core of the entire tree. Countless branches spread out from it, with each branch representing one of his talents.

Mo Yuan looked around.

Then he suddenly felt something strange.

It was as if he could control the energy that had entered his body.

He could guide it toward any one of his talents.

’So that’s how it works.’

Without wasting any time, Mo Yuan focused his consciousness on the Illusion Talent.

The strange energy immediately flowed toward it and the moment the energy entered the Illusion Talent, Mo Yuan felt something change.

His consciousness returned to his body and he was once again sitting inside the cave.

However, he could clearly feel that something inside his soul had changed.

His Illusion Talent was becoming stronger.

’It really works.’

Mo Yuan’s eyes lit up.

He immediately picked up the container again and began drinking more Earth Heart Nectar.

He did not know how much would be required, so he simply continued until he felt his talent reaching its limit.

Two minutes later, nearly five litres of Earth Heart Nectar had been consumed.

Mo Yuan suddenly stopped.

A strange feeling came from his soul.

His Illusion Talent seemed to be sending him a warning, as if it had reached the point where it could no longer absorb more energy.

’Is this the limit?’

Mo Yuan quickly placed the container down.

He sat cross-legged and focused his mind and then suddenly, intense pain spread throughout his body.

Mo Yuan’s face changed slightly.

The pain was not coming from his muscles or bones.

It was coming from his soul.

It felt as if something was being torn apart and rebuilt at the same time.

Mo Yuan gritted his teeth and endured it.

He did not make a sound and ten minutes later, the pain finally disappeared.

Mo Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

He immediately activated his Copy and Paste Talent and checked his status.

His eyes soon lit up.

Illusion Talent: Ultimate Grade

It had successfully broken through from Superior Grade to Ultimate Grade.

’It only took five litres.’

Mo Yuan looked at the remaining Earth Heart Nectar and smiled.

’Two litres are already reserved for Mo Ran. That means I still have eighteen litres.’

There was a lot more than he had expected.

He had originally thought that he would only be able to upgrade one talent.

Now, he could try upgrading several more.

As for pushing the Illusion Talent from Ultimate Grade to Exceptional Grade, Mo Yuan did not think there was enough Earth Heart Nectar.

Five litres had been enough to move it from Superior to Ultimate.

The amount needed for the next breakthrough would probably be much greater.

’I’ll deal with that later.’

Mo Yuan focused on his newly upgraded Illusion Talent and he immediately activated his Origin Sense.

It spread outward from his body.

Five hundred meters.

Then six hundred.

His Origin Sense continued expanding until it reached its normal limit.

521 meters.

Mo Yuan then activated his Ultimate Grade Illusion Talent.

In an instant, he felt his soul become even stronger.

His Origin Sense suddenly began expanding again.

One thousand meters.

Two thousand.

Five thousand.

Ten thousand.

It continued forward until it finally stopped.

10,420 meters.

Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment and then he quickly calculated the increase.

His original Origin Sense was 521 meters.

10,420 divided by 521 was exactly 20.

Mo Yuan smiled.

’So it gives me a 20x boost.’

’Not bad.’

His Illusion Talent had gone from a 5x boost to a 20x boost.

With such a powerful increase in Origin Sense, Mo Yuan now had a much better understanding of his surroundings.

More importantly, this gave him another advantage against the Shadow Bull.

That beast’s greatest strength was its ability to hide inside the shadows and launch sudden attacks.

But now, with his Origin Sense reaching more than ten kilometers, Mo Yuan could cover a huge area around himself.

’With this, dealing with that bull should be much easier.’

A faint smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.

The Shadow Bull had managed to ambush him once and it would not be so easy to do it again.

Mo Yuan looked toward the remaining Earth Heart Nectar and there was still a large amount left.

His eyes began moving between his different talents.

’Now, which talent should I focus on?’

Mo Yuan fell into thought.

There were still several talents that could become much stronger with the help of this precious Earth Heart Nectar.

He just needed to choose carefully.

Mo Yuan looked at his Shadow Talent.

Shadow Talent: Standard Grade

This talent had helped him greatly when he was still an Origin Vessel Realm cultivator. It had allowed him to hide himself and move through shadows, giving him many advantages in dangerous situations but now, things were different.

His strength had already reached a completely different level.

’Besides, I can get an Exceptional Grade Shadow Talent from that bull.’

’There is no need to waste Earth Heart Nectar upgrading this one.’

Mo Yuan then looked at the other talents that had not yet reached the Ultimate Grade.

His eyes stopped at the Devour Talent and Kinetic Energy Absorption Talent.

Both were currently at the Superior Grade.

’The Devour Talent should be my next choice.’

Mo Yuan had already obtained a Superior Absorption Talent from the Devouring Serpent. However, he had never pasted it because he suspected that the two talents might have similar effects.

Once his Copy and Paste Talent gained the ability to fuse talents, he could try combining Absorption with Devour.

If the fusion succeeded, the result could be much stronger than simply upgrading one of them.

’As for Kinetic Energy Absorption...’

Mo Yuan thought for a while before shaking his head.

He was not sure whether upgrading it was worth the Earth Heart Nectar.

There was no need to use such a precious resource without knowing how much benefit he would gain.

’I should save the rest.’

Mo Yuan had already used five litres to upgrade his Illusion Talent.

He still had plenty left.

Once he left the Secret Realm, he could search for more powerful talents. Even if he found a low-grade talent with a useful ability, he could use the Earth Heart Nectar to improve it.

Thinking about this, Mo Yuan looked at the golden liquid in the container.

Then he picked it up again.

’Let’s upgrade the Devour Talent first.’

Without wasting any more time, Mo Yuan raised the container and began drinking the Earth Heart Nectar again.
