Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 617 - 407: Sirius, Entry, Dungeon Run 2
"However, the overall change in my power isn’t insignificant. It has increased by about ten percent overall. The Pure Yang True Skill is indeed a very advanced Inner Power, with a significant effect on comprehensive improvement...
It’s just a pity that the Pure Yang Overlord Body that will be cultivated later, as well as the aspect of prolonging life, don’t hold much attraction for me anymore, as their effects are somewhat redundant...
I estimate that I will only cultivate this Cultivation Technique to around Lv3. My main focus later will still be on the Great Dream Saber Scripture."
After organizing his current gains, Wang Zhifan confirmed the ranking and position of this Cultivation Technique in his current agenda.
It’s not that the Pure Yang True Skill is bad, but its advantages seem a bit trivial to him now. Focusing on it further will not yield significant improvements, and its cost-effectiveness is very low.
After some thought, getting an Epic Layer of supreme blood with a legendary perfect being ability theoretically means he is already immortal, so what use does he have for the longevity and youth-enhancing aspect of the Pure Yang True Skill? It can’t compare with the traits he already possesses.
The same logic applies to the Pure Yang Overlord Body, another trademark of the Pure Yang True Skill. This Overlord Body can make a Cultivator immune to various negative states, allowing them to charge through adverse environments unimpeded. The problem is, Wang Zhifan already has the title of Overlord, which bestows him the exact same traits, so the significance of painstakingly cultivating the Pure Yang Overlord Body is greatly diminished.
The only aspect of the Pure Yang True Skill that is highly meaningful to him now is its overall enhancement to a Cultivator, such as raising the limit of his power capacity to support the Great Dream Saber Scripture and the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill for longer durations, which is very practical and irreplaceable.
In short, after a relatively short period of cultivation on Gaia Star, Wang Zhifan has successfully laid the foundation of the Pure Yang True Skill. In the future, he doesn’t need to sunbathe on Gaia Star every day. Directly going back to the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion on Earth to cultivate, or moving the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion to Gaia Star, are both quite good options.
Of course, due to time considerations, he doesn’t plan to continue with such cultivation because the daily dungeon entry has already reset, and he plans to immediately engage in this more alluring matter.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan has returned to Earth, to his villa in Dongjiang City. Standing on the balcony of the second floor of the villa, he glanced at the bustling scenery of Dongjiang City bathed in the morning light and decisively chose to enter the dungeon.
[Dungeon Objective: Assist the Calamity Realm in resisting the invasion of the Demon Realm until the main force of the Demon Realm’s army retreats from the Calamity Realm.]
[Note: This dungeon has a strong punishment mechanism. Malicious conflict among players will be forcibly transferred to more difficult punishment stages.]
[Detected that you are an SVIP player, you can independently choose your initial identity from the options below.]
[Person from the Dao Realm: You come from another world called the Dao Realm, and thus the Daoist forces in the Calamity Realm will have a high initial favorability towards you, greatly facilitating your activities within the Daoist force territories in the Calamity Realm.]
[Person from the Buddha Realm: You come from another world called the Buddha Realm, and thus the Buddhist Sect forces in the Calamity Realm will have a high initial favorability towards you.
If you have a bald appearance, this favorability will further increase, giving you more assistance.]
[Person from the Confucian Realm: You come from another world called the Confucian Realm, and thus the Confucian forces in the Calamity Realm will have a high initial favorability towards you.
If you are well-read in poetry and literature with a good image, you might even effortlessly secure a position in the Confucian force in the Calamity Realm.]
[Martial Artist: In the Calamity Realm, martial forces different from Dao, Buddhist, and Confucian exist. Though not as powerful as the three mainstreams, their foundation isn’t weak, and you are part of them, recognized by the martial force.
If you have enough martial prowess, you can even easily gather some martial followers to form your own group.]
[Returnee from the Demon Realm: You were born in the Calamity Realm but once ventured to the Demon Realm and successfully returned. This extraordinary experience allows you to handle opposing the Demon Realm more adeptly, increasing damage done to Demon Realm entities by 8%.]
[Diplomat: Rather than using brute force to defeat opponents, Diplomats excel in using the power of words, navigating and maneuvering between major forces with an unbreakable tongue.
When communicating with leaders of forces, there’s a higher likelihood of them agreeing with your perspective. If your verbal skills are excellent enough, you might even persuade enemy armies to abandon their attack and return home.]
[Avenger: You were once part of the Calamity Realm but were exiled to the Demon Realm by the mainstream forces for certain reasons. You survived tenaciously in the terrifying Demon Realm, garnered recognition from the demons there, became one of them, and joined the Demon Realm’s campaign against the beings of the Calamity Realm.
Note: Please be aware, selecting this identity will completely alter your dungeon objective. Your dungeon goal will change to assisting the Demon Realm in utterly annihilating the Calamity Realm, while you and all other players will mutually remove the punishment mechanism.]
"This dungeon has Dao, Buddhist, and Confucian forces, so it should be an oriental-style dungeon... but which among Dao, Buddhist, and Confucian is the strongest, and what initial identity should I choose?"
Now, Wang Zhifan has entered the dungeon world and finds himself standing in a picturesque world of mountains and waters. Overhead is a beautiful sky with blue skies and white clouds, and around him are traces of numerous flowers, grasses, wild rabbits, and deer, making the natural conditions very favorable.
At the edge of his vision, beyond a line of verdant low hills, he can see a wisp of what seems to be cooking smoke rising into the sky, suggesting that there might be indigenous inhabitants in that direction.
"Dao, Buddhist, Confucian... and there are soldiers and demon realm beings, I’ll just choose from these, the dungeon won’t let me investigate fully before choosing, so I’ll go with my gut and just pick one."
Reflecting on the initial identities offered this time, Wang Zhifan noticed that except for the Avenger, the effects were more or less similar and didn’t require much deliberation, as he definitely didn’t rely on the effect of a certain identity to clear the dungeon.
As for the Avenger, he first excluded it due to his simple moral stance; he doesn’t like invading others nor does he want to assist dark forces presumably inhuman in eliminating humanity. Since there are options he is more comfortable with, there’s no need to compromise his principles.
"Judging by the description of the options, the Calamity Realm seems to primarily feature Dao, Buddhist, and Confucian forces, so selecting from the mainstream should offer the most help.
The Buddhist Sect requires a bald head for the best effect, but I don’t want to go bald.
The Confucian force requires being well-read in classics with a good image. My image is definitely not an issue, but those texts... I returned them to my language teacher long ago...
So, I’ll choose to be a Person from the Dao Realm."
With a bit of thought, Wang Zhifan chose the most flexible option, the Person from the Dao Realm, which gave him an advantageous identity from the Dao Realm, facilitating his activities within the Daoist force territories in this world.
Subsequently, he took out the Wind Concealing Conical Hat, put it on, entered a state of invisibility, and then used his Lightweight Skill to head straight towards the area behind the hills where smoke was rising.
Sure enough, when he reached the airspace, he saw an ancient village sitting by a small river at the foot of the mountains.
The village houses, with their green bricks and black tiles, are neatly arranged. Every home has a small fenced courtyard with vegetables and fruits planted, coupled with the wisps of cooking smoke rising, two stone arch bridges over the river, and the simple, ruddy-cheeked villagers, forming a rich and peaceful pastoral scene.
"The residents here seem very relaxed and at ease, indicating that the so-called demon invasion hasn’t affected here yet, or perhaps hasn’t begun at all. It looks like another long-term ’prisoner’ dungeon."
After going through so many dungeons, Wang Zhifan had already realized the pattern of the extraordinary game, he couldn’t help but judge in his mind.
