My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 87 - 86: Completion Reward
The Celestial Sinking Ruins could only remain open for a week at most. This wasn’t a rule they set themselves; with such a high concentration of Spiritual Power inside, they wished they could let all their disciples stay a little longer.
But this was not something they could control. After one week, the gate would close automatically. As for why it did this, they weren’t entirely sure. All they knew was that the limit was one week, and the gate would shut once that time was up.
Therefore, if this continued, Yi Tianyun would be trapped inside. Many people were gloating over his misfortune. Sect Master Hua Quan, in particular, was hoping Yi Tianyun would never come out and be trapped inside forever.
Everyone outside thought this disciple from Merak Palace was an absolute idiot, still picking out Martial Arts. It had been a long time since such an idiot had appeared. When the ruins first started opening, there might have been cases of people staying inside and not coming out.
But after so many years, it hadn’t happened again, unless someone had died inside. Otherwise, everyone always made it out.
If Yi Tianyun were trapped and died inside, Merak Palace would become a huge joke. A disciple, too greedy and taking too long to choose his Martial Arts, ended up trapped and dead!
Inside, Yi Tianyun was completely oblivious, continuing to comprehend the Profound Celestial Divine Technique. To be precise, he wasn’t comprehending it, but rather imprinting its contents, bit by bit, into his system.
The system was frantically reading the data, but this Celestial-grade Martial Art was truly profound, so the reading speed was far too slow.
’I didn’t expect the Eye of Investigation to have this kind of effect. It’s just a bit too slow...’
The Eye of Investigation could imprint any Martial Art into his mind. As long as it was fully imprinted, it was equivalent to having learned it. The only problem was the speed was a bit too slow, reading the data little by little. He could only chalk it up to the skill’s level being too low.
Although it could be upgraded, it required 50,000 Madness Value, which he didn’t have nearly enough of. He could only take it one step at a time.
Finally, after a considerable amount of time, he managed to imprint the entire Martial Art!
"Ding! Successfully cultivated ’Profound Celestial Divine Technique (Incomplete Edition)’."
At that moment, under his Cultivation Techniques, the Profound Celestial Divine Technique appeared. There was no conflict whatsoever, as if he had just equipped it. There was no difficulty at all.
"Elder Xuan, this junior has successfully cultivated it," Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile as he stood up.
"You succeeded? So quickly?" Elder Xuan was stunned. It had only been a week, which was a very short amount of time.
The Profound Celestial Divine Technique was incredibly profound; it was impossible to cultivate it to the final stage in one go. Moreover, each level corresponded to a different cultivation realm, so the later stages were useless for now. Without sufficient cultivation, one couldn’t utilize them anyway.
Yi Tianyun smiled faintly. "Yes, this junior has already mastered the second level..."
"You mastered the second level so quickly?"
Elder Xuan’s eyes widened. Mastering the second level in just one short week... In his estimation, it should have taken at least a month to successfully cultivate the second level.
"Yes, I have learned the second level," Yi Tianyun said with certainty.
Elder Xuan was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "Then perform it for me to see." He felt it was necessary to confirm it for himself.
Yi Tianyun nodded and quickly activated the Profound Celestial Divine Technique. A layer of peculiar energy immediately appeared on his body, covering him like crystals. In a moment, it formed what looked like invisible armor. It seemed somewhat transparent, but the indestructible aura it radiated made him feel very secure.
It gave him the feeling that as long as it was active, no one could injure him. Of course, the Profound Celestial Divine Technique wasn’t limited to defense. Beneath this layer of armor, his outgoing attacks also received a significant boost! After all, it was equivalent to forming an indestructible shield with Spiritual Power, which would also hurt a lot when you smashed someone with it.
After watching for a while, Elder Xuan finally believed that Yi Tianyun had truly learned it. He then laughed heartily and said, "You really have comprehended the second level! It seems your comprehension ability is quite high, to finish it in only one week!"
"This junior was just a little more focused," Yi Tianyun said with a calm smile, feigning humility.
"Don’t be modest. With the strength you displayed earlier, you’re even stronger than the Master was in his youth. It’s only normal that you have this level of comprehension."
Elder Xuan smiled. "Since there are no problems, this Profound Celestial Divine Technique is yours. Allow me to transmit it to you and imprint it in your memory. Cultivate it well from now on!"
Elder Xuan tapped him on the forehead. A ray of light surged into his head, and he immediately felt a Martial Art appear in his memories! However, he would have to slowly commit it to memory to recall it completely.
But he had already recorded it all earlier, so he didn’t need Elder Xuan to do this at all.
"Alright. You are now the Inheritor of the Celestial Sinking Ruins, carrying on the Master’s legacy!" Elder Xuan looked at him and said respectfully, "Greetings, Young Master!"
"Ding! Successfully completed the ’Conquer the Celestial Sinking Ruins’ quest. Rewards obtained: Control of the Celestial Sinking Ruins, 100,000 Experience Value, 10,000 Madness Value, one Sword of Endlessness (Soul Artifact)!"
The rewards poured in one after another, and Yi Tianyun was ecstatic. He had finally completed this main quest; he had almost thought he was going to fail.
He immediately investigated the Sword of Endlessness, and its effects were displayed.
Sword of Endlessness: Low-grade Soul Artifact. Indestructible. Increases Critical Strike Damage by 2x!
This effect was so dazzling it almost blinded Yi Tianyun. A twofold increase in Critical Strike Damage! His critical strike chance had always been relatively low, and he had no equipment that increased it, so his burst damage was limited.
Increasing his character value and activating the Luck Aura could increase his critical strike chance, but if he could get an accessory that increased it, that would be even more perfect. Of course, even without the Critical Strike Damage effect, just the fact that it was a low-grade Soul Artifact was already terrifying.
"Is there anything I need to do now?" Yi Tianyun asked Elder Xuan, pulling his thoughts back to the present.
"Yes. The former Master’s greatest wish was to return to his sect and see how it was faring. Unfortunately, his body failed him, and he could only pass away here," Elder Xuan sighed. "The former Master hoped his successor would be able to return to the sect and check on it for him. If possible, to join the former Master’s sect and become a disciple!"
"Which sect?" Yi Tianyun raised an eyebrow. A power that could produce such a genius was surely no simple faction.
"The Celestial Extreme Mansion!" Elder Xuan said in a deep voice.
"The Celestial Extreme Mansion?"
Yi Tianyun repeated the name. He wasn’t surprised; he believed that a power capable of producing a Spirit King definitely wouldn’t be weak. The Celestial Extreme Mansion happened to be a Third-Grade Faction.
First-Grade is a Palace, Second-Grade is a Sect, and Third-Grade is a Mansion.
A "Mansion" wasn’t the residence of some family. In this context, a Mansion was an incredibly vast power, gathering only the strongest of the strong!
However, he had never heard of the Celestial Extreme Mansion. It was either too far away, or it had fallen into decline.
No faction could remain powerful forever; it was inevitable that it would decline one day. This wasn’t strange at all. Many factions had declined over time; it all came down to their own management.
"Ding! New main quest received: ’Strengthen Merak Palace and upgrade it to a Second-Grade Faction, the Merak Sect.’ Completion Reward: 1,000,000 Experience Value, Lottery Wheel Enhancement, one spin on the Enhanced Lottery Wheel, 100,000 Madness Value!"
The main quest popped up immediately. He thought it would be to find the Celestial Extreme Mansion, but he never expected it would be to upgrade Merak Palace to the level of the Merak Sect!
