Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 462 - 459 Body Forging Technique

Slowly retracting the Divine Sense used to probe, Lu Ren kept moving forward, reaching the end, directly under this giant golden tree, and looked up at the enormous trunk that had no visible end.

Even before he could make any move, this giant golden tree sent down a massive consciousness.

"Chosen one, please select the reward you desire."

Although the voice was gentle, it was impossible to determine whether the speaker was male or female, yet Lu Ren could clearly feel that the other party was operating entirely according to some predetermined program setting.

It was similar to what modern technology refers to as artificial intelligence.

"Who are you?"

Faced with the various reward projections appearing before him, Lu Ren did not confirm the reward at first but instead probed a bit by glancing briefly and then opening his mouth to inquire.

The golden giant tree was silent for two seconds before it answered, "I am the Golden Jade Holy Tree, the Supreme Venerable."

Lu Ren continued asking questions in succession, like how it grew, why it was so massive, whether it needed the nutrition supply of an entire planet to survive, what significance it had in being so gigantic, and even further asked what gender it was and why it was called the Supreme Venerable.

Unfortunately, after the Golden Jade Holy Tree introduced its identity with one sentence, it had no reaction to Lu Ren's continuous inquiries and merely waited silently for Lu Ren to make a choice.

Seeing that the other party could not answer, Lu Ren, although harboring doubts, still focused his attention on the rewards in front of him.

The shadow of the reward was completely a holographic interface, waiting for Lu Ren to make selections, and it detailed the information of each rewardable item available for selection.

Stretching out his hand to swipe, Lu Ren could even see a gigantic battleship akin in size to the Moon appearing in the selection frame.

This battleship, called the Planet-class Mother Ship, was now entirely displayed in front of Lu Ren.

The Crescent-class Mother Ship of the Tamas Empire, capable of housing ten million people living inside it, equipped with eight thousand Void Energy Absorption Engines, one billion six hundred thousand high-speed pulse energy giant cannons covering the entire ship without any blind spots...

This was just a brief overview of the mother ship; still, it was described in nearly forty thousand words. Having such a mother ship would indeed grant the ability to safeguard a civilization in the cosmos, allowing it to continue to thrive.

Although Lu Ren felt tempted, he also understood that this was not what he currently needed. Even if he chose this mother ship and brought it back to Earth, learning how to operate and start it up would probably require an exceedingly long time of study, not to mention the maintenance needs of such a super battleship, which Earth's current capabilities could hardly sustain.

Perhaps in the first two years, operating it could render some splendor, but after a few more years, lacking maintenance and unable to initiate, in the end, it might only be called a pile of so-called worthless scrap metal.

After making a mental judgment, Lu Ren decisively swiped over, and the next option available for exchange turned out to be a Mech over fifty meters tall, capable of wielding power comparable to True Immortal Level if piloted.

However, it was not suitable; for a cultivation system that focuses on internal evolution and personal growth, such a thing would instead restrain his power's manifestation.

Honestly, if someone really piloted such a Mech to battle him, he could totally achieve the feat of disassembling a Mech with bare hands.

Lu Ren sighed inwardly, for every man wants to pilot a Mech, and he was no exception.

Targeting the Cultivation Scripture, what Lu Ren saw before him turned out to be mostly Immortal Path Cultivation Classics.

Tathagata's Complete True Skill, Emperor Moluo's True Skill, Thirty-Six Celestial Transformations, and even the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, self-developed and innovated by Sun Wukong, appeared on the list, although it seemed to be a fragment page as it was acquired through irregular means at the time.

This still wasn't what he wanted.

Immortal Taoism Classics nowadays, which Zhang Tongxuan had tirelessly been excavating from the Immortal God's Tomb over the years, gained a vast collection of cultivation classics dated from the Mythical Era. Among them, the worst piece of Immortal Taoism True Skill also pointed directly to the True Immortal Realm, being the cream of the crop, featuring the Five Elements Escape Technique, Yin Yang Creation, Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning, and even included the Great Dip of Talismans collectively compiled by the Taoist Sect over the years.

Guided by Lu Ren in Buddhism, some true skills that are astonishingly brilliant were also compiled.

Moreover, a more advanced profound skill cultivable to the Earth Immortal Realm was replicated from the Queen Mother of the West's Jade Ship, and it was world-shocking.

These so-called profound skills seemed to possess uniqueness; even if replicated items would soon deform and pollute.

This led to a tremendous disaster loss.

Several True Cultivators at the Determination Path Realm paid dearly for it, and the lesson learned was severe.

Lu Ren's thoughts whizzed, skipping these Immortal Path Cultivation Classics without hesitation, for his Three Lives True Scripture had not reached its pinnacle yet, albeit not far from it, but the last segment could indeed be described as every step leading to a new heaven.

Until a technique named Tali Army's Special Body Strengthening Technique emerged.

Its origin was from a once immensely thriving super-technological civilization in a dense region of an incredibly distant Virgo Supercluster, part of the military's body refining technique.

Mastering this Body Forging Technique to its limits could leap directly to a new level, integrating both Spirit and Body without needing the Unity of Heaven and Man, merging Yin and Yang, exploring cosmic mysteries to entrust the void to attain the Human Immortal Path Fruit.

Instead, it's entirely internal sublimation, uninfluenced by environmental factors.

Previously, some had pursued such paths and were denounced as heretical, yet exceptional figures had emerged, but none compared to Lu Ren's profound depth in this Body Forging Technique.

Lu Ren, holding back the excitement in his heart, calmly continued to search, confirming there was nothing else catching his interest before he slowly relaxed and decisively exchanged for this Tali Army's Body Forging Technique.

Slightly releasing his mental defenses, Lu Ren frowned slightly, accepting a vast flood of information into his consciousness, and after two full hours, Lu Ren managed to fully incorporate this Body Forging Technique.

Upon completing the exchange, Lu Ren could clearly sense the surrounding space in rapid motion, not resisting but allowing the space to teleport him.

Upon calming down, Lu Ren surprisingly found himself standing on the Original Path.

Yet, no matter how he tried sensing the existence of Wang City, it felt like a kite's string was severed, and the thread that linked and guided him had thoroughly snapped.

It entirely vanished from his perception.

"Is it because I won a hundred matches in Wang City's arena, triggering some kind of mechanism?"

Lu Ren pondered, only feeling that the so-called golden-level arena's strength was really diluted; from the first to ninety-nine matches, he practically plowed through with overwhelming force, without encountering a single one of them that could match a single move, encountering a wealthy type like Lunis, who could bring talismans through the Divine Soul into Wang City.

Indeed a rare instance he had encountered.

Apart from the final battle with Guo Muyang...
