Chapter 108: Chapter 103: Infinite Qi Condensation - Layer 27!

...

The system fell silent. It seemed to have crashed again. Su Tan shrugged. He couldn’t be bothered with this half-baked system.

Regardless, he had gained immense benefits from this orchestrated event. With this many Energy Points, how many days of signing in would that equal?

Also... if he could get Energy Points for slaughtering ten thousand, fifty thousand, and a hundred thousand living beings, would he also get them for slaughtering three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, or a million in the future?

For Su Tan, who was previously plagued by a shortage of Energy Points, it was as if he had found a new path. Up until now, he only knew of a few ways to gain extra Energy Points. First, obtaining system-certified achievements. Second, having someone successfully cultivate a Cultivation Technique he invented. Third, receiving gifts from the system’s predecessors. All of them seemed very difficult. However, the energy gained each time was quite substantial.

"What’s wrong?" the Monk asked, startled when he saw Su Tan suddenly stand up.

"It’s nothing!" Su Tan smiled. "I need to head out for a bit. There shouldn’t be any major issues in the Marching Battlefield for now, so just handle things as you see fit."

"Alright, no problem!"

He left with the Little White Wolf. He headed to the Cemetery of Cultivation Techniques, the second floor of the Void God Realm’s main realm, to collect Cultivation Techniques.

"DING~ Acquired the Five Tigers Qi Condensation Technique..."

"DING~ Acquired the Three-Image Qi Transformation Technique..."

"DING~ Acquired the One Dragon Attraction Technique..."

"DING~ Acquired the Dao Yi Sacred Technique..."

...

"Proceed with fusion?"

"Equip and fuse!" Su Tan said.

Previously, he had worried about his lack of energy. Now that he had a massive influx of Energy Points, he immediately upgraded the grade of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Qi Condensation Chapter.

"DING~ Fused the Five Tigers Qi Condensation Technique. Consumed 100 Energy Points~"

"DING~ Fused the Three-Image Qi Transformation Technique. Consumed 100 Energy Points~"

...

"DING~ Fusion successful. Ten Thousand Dao Furnace Body Refinement Chapter grade +1... +1... +1..."

"DING~ Your cultivation level has increased by +1... +1... +1..."

As the number of fused Cultivation Techniques increased, the quality of the Qi Cultivation Chapter also improved. His cultivation was skyrocketing as well.

Annihilating the army of two hundred thousand Yin Demons not only granted him numerous system Energy Points but also rewarded him with a massive amount of Spiritual Power. It was worth noting that for every Yin Demon a player killed, he unconditionally received 20% of the Void God Realm’s total revenue.

Previously, the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Qi Condensation Chapter was insufficient to process that much Spiritual Power, so Su Tan would throw it all into the system Warehouse to use slowly later. Now that the Qi Condensation Chapter’s quality had improved, its ability to process Spiritual Power had also strengthened. He didn’t need to save it anymore; he could directly devour it to evolve. Naturally, his cultivation grew rapidly.

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Unlocked the Dao Body Physique..."

Dao Body?? A special Physique similar to the Dominator Body?

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Cultivation has reached Qi Condensation Layer 10..."

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Cultivation has reached Qi Condensation Layer 11..."

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Cultivation has reached Qi Condensation Layer 12..."

Su Tan’s face lit up. Just as he expected... The law of Qi Condensation peaking at the ninth layer was useless to him once again. Just like the Body Refinement Realm, his Qi Condensation Realm had broken through the ninth-layer Law. Everything was because of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace!

After accidentally creating this Cultivation Technique, he had completely shattered the world’s rules and limitations. Invincibility within the same realm... for Su Tan, that felt like a bit of an insult to this Cultivation Technique. In the Body Refinement Realm, others could at most reach Great Perfection at the ninth layer. And Su Tan? He had already reached the 490th layer!

Moreover, Su Tan could feel that the 490th layer was nowhere near the limit. As long as the Body Refinement Chapter’s quality improved again, he could go even further. 490 layers versus someone else’s 9 layers... Even a pig could swagger around unchallenged with that kind of advantage.

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Cultivation has reached Qi Condensation Layer 15..."

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Cultivation has reached Qi Condensation Layer 20..."

"DING~ Congratulations, Host. Cultivation has reached Qi Condensation Layer 27..."

It only stopped when his cultivation reached the 27th layer. Just how strong was Qi Condensation Layer 27? Su Tan didn’t know. Because he had no point of reference, he had no idea what level his combat power had reached.

Last time, relying on his Overlord Body Realm, he easily crushed a Grandmaster-level cultivator to death. Now, Su Tan felt even stronger; he could easily crush the past version of himself.

He wondered, "Why am I using crushing myself to death as a comparison?"

Back then, if he hadn’t used his Realm, could he have even defeated a cultivator in the Grandmaster Realm? That was an unknown... At the time, he was only able to kill that Grandmaster expert because the man had crashed into his Realm, leaving him immobilized and at Su Tan’s mercy. Now, however, Su Tan felt that even without using his Realm, he could kill experts at the first or second layer of the Grandmaster Realm. If he went all out, he could probably fight at an even higher level.

Had he reached the King’s Dao Realm? Su Tan didn’t know! But he figured it was unlikely. Once someone’s cultivation reached the King’s Dao Realm, they could fly through the air. If they clashed face-to-face, he might be able to put up a bit of a fight. But if the opponent flew into the sky and started throwing items and Magical Artifacts to slowly wear him down, he would truly be helpless... And as long as his opponent wasn’t a fool, they definitely wouldn’t just stand there and trade blows with him.

Therefore, Su Tan evaluated his own strength, placing his combat power in the Grandmaster Realm. He might even be invincible within it.

The quality of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Qi Condensation Chapter was now roughly on par with the Body Refinement Chapter. After collecting some Pill Formulas, Su Tan thought for a moment and decided not to add any more materials into it.

He shifted over to the first floor of the Void God Realm. There, he acquired numerous Cultivation Techniques, such as the Sacred Body Refining Technique, the Demon King Body Refining Technique, and more. He collected a vast amount of them. Then came Pill Formulas... Arrays... divination techniques, and the like. He fused them all into the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace.

"I finally understand why women love buying so many things. When you have money, the feeling of going on a shopping spree is... awesome! Extremely awesome!" Su Tan said gleefully.

He had finally experienced the joy of shopping till dropping. It was so damn awesome!!!

Having nearly depleted all of his Energy Points, Su Tan’s foundational strength had increased by more than just a single level. He strolled around the Void God Realm for a bit to see if there were any recent developments, which would help him arrange his upcoming work plans.

There were two major trending topics.

The first, surprisingly, was still the "Thousand People Slash" trend that he had unintentionally started two months ago. To this day, the "Thousand People Slash" had become somewhat... saturated. What surprised Su Tan was that the top fifty players on the Epoch Leaderboard had already completed the Thousand People Slash achievement. Even a few players ranked in the sixties and seventies, as well as those outside the top hundred, had successfully completed the challenge. It was as if the Thousand People Slash had become as common as cabbage on the street, entirely worthless.

As a result, everyone was debating whose title held the least weight.

"I think Tanzi’s title is genuine. It’s just a pity... ever since he started the Thousand People Slash trend a few months ago, he hasn’t shown up again. He really was just a flash in the pan..."

"’One’ is also incredibly skilled. When he appeared in the Void God Realm a month ago, he completed the Thousand People Slash challenge effortlessly with just a few casual moves."

"I think Mad Blade Li Zhan is the biggest fraud. He’s ranked 179th on the Epoch Leaderboard, yet he actually beat the challenge..."

"I’d really love to see a match between Tanzi and ’One.’ Unfortunately... those two are as elusive as phantom dragons..."

After the Thousand People Slash, Su Tan had become an administrator upon re-entering the Void God Realm. By using a special method to hide his data, he wouldn’t be exposed even when acquiring Cultivation Techniques and the like. Everyone assumed he had disappeared. However, Su Tan didn’t care about empty fame. He only wanted to lie low... He just treated those rankings and comparisons as a joke. He didn’t care.

Lying low and pulling strings from behind the scenes was the true King’s Dao. Parading around in public? He would rather pass on that. Did possessing the Infinite Equipment System mean invincibility? Then how did the 7th Host, who was capable of engineering the slaughter of billions of living beings, end up falling?

The second topic was the Divine War Game 1.0, the Marching Battlefield. Some said it was filled with fortuitous encounters. Fu Jian used to be ranked 59th on the Epoch Leaderboard, but after entering and leaving the Marching Battlefield, he squeezed straight into the top ten. Aside from Fu Jian, other cultivators who had entered the Divine War Game saw their strength soar rapidly upon coming out. This made some people unable to hold themselves back any longer. Of course, there were also those who claimed it was some sort of conspiracy, slandering it in various ways...

Su Tan, the mastermind behind the scenes, smiled without a word. They could think whatever they wanted... After today, when those players in the Marching Battlefield came out again, he would see if the critics could still remain calm.

With a smile, Su Tan left the main realm of the Void God Realm and returned to the Divine Mansion’s management room. After confirming that there wouldn’t be any short-term incidents in the Marching Battlefield and telling the Fat Monk to keep a close eye on the place, Su Tan logged out of the Void God Realm.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked a proper meal at home. I’ve been a bit tired lately, so it’s time to get some good rest," Su Tan said.
