Returning to his side hall, Long Aoyu sat cross-legged on the cattail mat, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.
After confirming that there were no outsiders nearby, he finally allowed the excitement in his heart to surface.
“Come on, let me see just how good this system reward really is.”
Long Aoyu first clicked on the introduction of the Imprisoning Heaven Finger.
[Imprisoning Heaven Finger: Condense spirit power into a single finger, seal the space around the target, form an invisible cage to imprison the opponent, and the sealing strength increases as the user’s cultivation improves.]
“A control-type Spirit Ability?”
Long Aoyu looked at the introduction of the Imprisoning Heaven Finger and fell into deep thought.
A Spirit Ability capable of directly sealing space was extremely rare, and its value would increase alongside his cultivation.
For a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master like him, who possessed terrifying physical combat power but also needed ways to restrict powerful opponents, such an ability was undoubtedly extremely useful.
The next moment, the cultivation essentials of the Imprisoning Heaven Finger, its spirit power circulation path, and the application techniques involving spatial power were all branded directly into his mind as though they had been burned into his consciousness with a hot iron.
There was no need for him to spend days or months comprehending the technique, because the system had already completely transmitted the inheritance to him.
Long Aoyu raised his right hand and slowly condensed his spirit power at the tip of his index finger.
A dark golden light gradually flowed outward, and the air directly in front of his fingertip twisted slightly.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely faint and transparent cage appeared in the surrounding space.
The self-created Spirit Ability rewarded by the system did not require him to spend time learning it.
The moment the inheritance entered his mind, he had already completely mastered the basic principles and could use it naturally.
“Not bad.
With my current cultivation, casting the Imprisoning Heaven Finger should be enough to trap even a Spirit Saint for a short period of time.”
Long Aoyu withdrew his hand with satisfaction and then turned his attention toward the third reward, the Undying trait.
[Undying: Spirit and physical body recovery and defense are greatly enhanced, capable of regenerating severed limbs.
In a near-death state, the Undying Origin can be activated once to forcibly lock in the last breath.]
“Undying, what a powerful ability!”
Long Aoyu’s pupils shrank slightly, and his expression became serious.
The self-healing power capable of regenerating severed limbs was already an astonishing ability.
For a Spirit Master, the loss of an arm or leg could be devastating, but with the Undying trait, even such injuries could be recovered from.
This would provide him with an enormous advantage in battle.
Not only could he exchange injuries for injuries with his enemies without fearing ordinary wounds, but during cultivation, he could also carry out extreme body tempering with far fewer concerns about damaging his own physical foundation.
For a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master, whose cultivation depended heavily on the continuous tempering and transformation of the physical body, this was practically an extremely valuable divine ability.
The Undying Origin was even more exaggerated.
Being able to forcibly lock in the final breath when he was in a near-death state was almost equivalent to possessing a second life.
As long as he was not killed instantly and still retained that final trace of vitality, he would have an opportunity to survive.
“Refusing to die stubbornly.
Isn’t this a little too insidious?”
After reading the description, Long Aoyu did not hesitate any longer.
He immediately released his Body Martial Soul.
[Ding!]
[Undying trait, beginning to increase!]
The next moment, Long Aoyu’s entire body glowed with a pale golden luster.
This was the normal reaction when his Body Martial Soul was activated, but this time, something was clearly different.
A rich golden light suddenly surged from deep within Long Aoyu’s body and spread throughout his entire body, enveloping him in a thick golden halo.
The light was not merely circulating around his body.
Instead, it penetrated directly through his skin and entered his muscles, bones, meridians, and even the deepest parts of his flesh and blood.
Every inch of his body was being soaked and transformed by that mysterious power, and an unfathomable change was quietly taking place within him.
Long Aoyu could clearly feel that his vitality was becoming increasingly vigorous.
The activity of his flesh and blood was increasing at a speed invisible to the naked eye, his body’s instinctive ability to heal wounds was continuously strengthening, and his physical defense was steadily rising.
The golden light lasted for a short while before gradually fading, but the mysterious power represented by the Undying trait had completely remained within his body.
“So comfortable.” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Long Aoyu slowly opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and carefully sensed the peculiar power flowing within his body.
The Undying trait had already completely integrated into his Body Martial Soul and become an intrinsic part of his physical foundation.
He could clearly sense that his vitality was much stronger than before.
Even without deliberately activating the Undying Origin, his body possessed an astonishing recovery ability, and the resilience of his flesh and blood had reached an entirely different level.
Long Aoyu sat down properly on the cattail mat again, then shifted his consciousness toward the Sect Shop within the system panel.
The familiar light screen unfolded before him, and the dazzling array of items immediately made his eyes spin.
There were Spirit Tools, medicinal pills, rare elixirs, heavenly treasures, Spirit Bones, cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and countless other treasures.
The sheer variety was enough to make even a Titled Douluo’s heart beat faster.
Long Aoyu quickly browsed through the items, carefully examining anything that could improve his current strength.
His gaze eventually paused on a list of Spirit Bones.
One-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bones were each priced at more than fifty thousand Sect Contribution Points.
The cheapest one listed was a one-hundred-thousand-year left arm bone, which required fifty-two thousand contribution points.
With his current net worth of only twenty thousand contribution points, he naturally could not afford it.
As for Spirit Bones that were not one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bones, although he could afford some of them with his current contribution points, he did not want them.
Long Aoyu had a slight obsession with perfection.
All six of his Spirit Bones had to be at least one hundred thousand years old, and they could not be ordinary Spirit Bones with mediocre bloodlines.
If he was going to collect Spirit Bones, he would rather wait until he could obtain the best ones than waste precious resources on inferior Spirit Bones that would eventually have to be replaced.
Long Aoyu continued scrolling downward, and soon his gaze locked onto a special treasure.
Gold of Life!
Redemption price: 20,000 Sect Contribution Points.
[Gold of Life: The ultimate concentrated form of pure life origin, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth.]
[It can comprehensively reshape flesh and blood, bones, and meridians, nourish the divine soul, expand the spiritual sea, greatly extend lifespan, temper the flesh and blood origin of the Body Martial Soul, and accelerate the secondary awakening of the Body Martial Soul.]
Long Aoyu’s gaze became brighter and brighter as he read the description.
The effects of the Gold of Life far exceeded his expectations.
Almost every single function directly targeted the core needs of his current cultivation.
Strengthening the physical body naturally brought only benefits and no disadvantages for him.
His Body Martial Soul had already undergone the first stage of secondary awakening, and his physical foundation was also extremely important for the subsequent Life and Death Essence Quenching and Origin Integration stages.
The stronger his body became, the more stable his foundation would be.
Although his spiritual sea had already expanded considerably through the Star Heavenly Origin Fruit, it was still far from reaching its limit.
The Gold of Life could push his spiritual sea another step further, greatly increasing his mental force and strengthening the foundation of his consciousness.
More importantly, the Gold of Life could temper the flesh and blood origin of the Body Martial Soul and accelerate the secondary awakening process.
This meant that the Life and Death Essence Quenching stage he would face next could become much smoother with the assistance of the Gold of Life.
“However, some of the functions of the Gold of Life overlap with the Undying trait.”
Just as Long Aoyu was thinking about this, his gaze suddenly swept toward a line of extremely small text at the very bottom of the description column.
[Note: The Gold of Life and the Undying trait complement each other.
Absorbing the Gold of Life while already possessing the Undying trait can produce unimaginable amplification effects.]
“It’s you!”
The moment Long Aoyu saw this note, all hesitation disappeared.
He decisively chose to redeem the Gold of Life.
[Redemption successful.
20,000 Sect Contribution Points deducted.
Remaining Sect Contribution Points: 500.
The Gold of Life has been deposited into the system space and can be extracted at any time.]
Long Aoyu immediately took the Gold of Life out of the system space.
A small piece of peculiar golden-green metal floated quietly above his palm. The source of this chapter is g.com.
A warm emerald-green luster continuously flowed across its surface, and an astonishing aura of life spread outward from it.
The life energy was so rich that it was almost tangible, causing the surrounding air to become filled with a refreshing vitality.
“Such strong life energy!”
Long Aoyu’s expression became solemn.
He carefully guided this mass of Gold of Life toward his dantian before slowly integrating it into his body.
The instant the Gold of Life entered his body, a vast torrent of life energy suddenly erupted within him.
It spread through every meridian and penetrated every inch of his flesh and blood, instantly soaking his entire physical body in an ocean of vitality.
The life energy followed his meridians toward his limbs and bones, continuously reshaping his body in every direction.
His muscles became denser, his bones became tougher, and his meridians became broader and more resilient.
Even the deepest origin of his flesh and blood was being nourished and strengthened by the pure life force.
At the same time, the energy of the Gold of Life surged toward his eyes and brain, causing his spiritual sea to expand at an astonishing speed.
A very faint golden light gradually emerged from the depths of Long Aoyu’s eyes.
As the vast life energy converged within them, an extraordinary transformation began taking place in his eyes.
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who developed a vertical eye on his forehead after absorbing the Gold of Life, Long Aoyu’s transformation was concentrated in his existing eyes.
Both of his eyes gradually transformed into the Eyes of Life.
With a single thought, he could see through illusions, perceive the essence of souls, lock onto subtle spiritual fluctuations, launch spiritual attacks, and utilize many other wondrous abilities.
The transformation was not merely an enhancement of his vision, but a comprehensive elevation of his perception and mental force.
Deep within his body, the life energy of the Gold of Life also began interacting with the Undying trait.
The two completely different powers gradually resonated with one another, and an indescribable transformation occurred within the deepest origin of Long Aoyu’s body.
The Undying Origin became increasingly thick and profound.
His already extremely powerful self-healing ability was further enhanced.
It was no longer limited to regenerating severed limbs.
Even serious injuries to his soul could now recover at an astonishing speed as long as he retained sufficient vitality.
For a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master, this was an enormous improvement.
His physical body was already his greatest weapon, and now even his recovery ability had reached an extremely terrifying level.
An hour later, the vast energy of the Gold of Life finally completely integrated into Long Aoyu’s body.
Long Aoyu slowly opened his eyes, and that faint layer of golden light deep within his pupils flashed once before disappearing.
The aura around him had become even more restrained than before, but beneath that calm exterior was an extremely vigorous life force.
“With me like this now, even if my head falls off, I shouldn’t die immediately, right?”
Long Aoyu lowered his head and looked at his palm.
A warm luster flowed across the surface of his skin, and the vitality contained within his flesh and blood was more than a level richer than before.
The Gold of Life had comprehensively reshaped his flesh, bones, and meridians, while his spiritual sea had expanded by nearly three times.
His mental force had also undergone an astonishing increase, and the Eyes of Life had become an additional trump card that could provide him with tremendous assistance in future battles.
“And the Undying trait has actually sublimated!”
Long Aoyu’s expression changed slightly as another system notification appeared before him.
[Undying trait sublimation: The activation of the Undying Origin no longer has a limit on the number of times.
However, except for the first activation, each subsequent activation will consume a portion of the host’s lifespan.
The consumed lifespan can be restored through specific resources.]
Long Aoyu’s breathing became slightly heavier.
The Undying Origin could no longer be activated only once.
Although subsequent activations would consume lifespan, the number of times he could use this life-saving trump card was no longer permanently fixed.
This meant that his ability to survive desperate situations had been greatly enhanced.
As long as he could obtain resources capable of restoring his lifespan, even the cost of repeatedly activating the Undying Origin would no longer be an insurmountable problem.
Now, Long Aoyu had truly become someone who stubbornly refused to die.
