Shen Yu stared at the cascading lines of light, his sharp mind quickly digesting the ancient spirit's words.
A visual representation. A psychological interface built from his own suppressed memories as a NEET on Earth, designed to make the Primal Desire Immortal's vast, incomprehensible inheritance easy to manage. It was brilliantly efficient.
"So you are not an omnipotent, wish-granting system that will hand me free cultivation realms," Shen Yu concluded, his voice a low, calculating murmur. "You are an interactive grimoire. An analytical tool. Tell me, what exactly are your functions now?"
"Correct, Inheritor," the cold, ancient voice resonated in his mind. "My core directives remain unchanged from the Jade Tablet, but my execution has been optimized. My current primary functions are fourfold:"
The pink-edged screen shifted, displaying four sleek, glowing bullet points.
"First: Physiological and Cultivation Tracking. I will continuously monitor your meridian integrity, Qi capacity, and bloodline mutations, calculating your exact progress with absolute precision."
"Second: Inheritance Unlocking. As your cultivation base grows and you successfully absorb high-tier Yin Qi, I will unseal and translate the Immortal's forbidden arts, presenting them to you in an instantly comprehensible format."
"Third: Cauldron and Conquest Analysis."
Shen Yu's golden eyes narrowed with immediate interest. "Explain that last one."
"The Primal Desire path is one of dual cultivation and absolute conquest," the system elaborated, its tone devoid of morality. "I can analyze the female cultivators you interact with. I will quantify their Yin Qi purity, identify dormant bloodlines, and calculate their 'Subjugation Level', a metric of their emotional devotion, addiction, and loyalty to you. This will allow you to perfectly optimize your manipulation and cultivation strategies."
"Fourth: The Primal Store and Quest Directive."
"A store?" Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "You hold physical items?"
"The vast material wealth, supreme pills, ancient artifacts, and natural treasures of the Primal Desire Immortal were digitized and sealed within my core space," the system explained. "You may unseal and purchase these items using Desire Points (DP). DP is generated by successfully seducing female cultivators, breaking their emotional defenses, and elevating their Subjugation Levels. Furthermore, to act as a guiding light on your path to supremacy, I will issue Quests. Completing these directives will yield substantial DP and bonus rewards."
A slow, terrifyingly wicked smile spread across Shen Yu's flawless white face.
In his past life, he had relied on intuition and painful trial-and-error to manipulate his targets and gather resources. Now, he had a tool that quantified a woman's devotion and rewarded his conquests with the physical treasury of an Immortal. For a demonic cultivator who treated the world as a chessboard, this was infinitely better than a system that just handed out free power. It was the ultimate weapon for a mastermind.
"Excellent," Shen Yu purred, feeling the heavy, addictive thrum of his newly awakened bloodline responding to his ambition. "Show me. How do I access this data?"
"The interface is permanently bound to your consciousness," the system replied. "You need only project the mental command 'Status Screen', and I will project your current metrics into your visual field."
Shen Yu didn't hesitate. He sat back against the splintered headboard, letting the cool morning air wash over his bare chest, and focused his intent.
Status Screen.
Instantly, the black holographic panel expanded. Crisp, glowing pink and white text materialized in the air right in front of him, illuminating the dim, ruined bedroom.

=========================================
Shen Yu's eyes devoured the glowing text. Seeing his newly acquired power quantified before him instilled a profound, intoxicating sense of absolute control.
Third level of Qi Condensation. Just yesterday, he had been a crippled laughingstock, a fragile mortal waiting to be crushed by the city's local powerhouses.
Today, he hadn't just repaired his shattered meridians and forged a flawless foundation, he had entirely bypassed the grueling Body Refining Realm, vaulting straight into the third level of Qi Condensation. The sheer, unprecedented speed of his advancement sent an exhilarating thrill coursing through his demonic soul.
His gaze drifted down to his newly awakened bloodline abilities, lingering on the Celestial Fox Veil. He read the description twice, his dark mind immediately spinning a deadly web of possibilities. To perfectly disguise his face, his voice, and even his fundamental Qi signature, it was the ultimate tool for infiltration.
The system was practically spoon-feeding him success. The myriad of retaliatory plans he had been conceptualizing suddenly clicked into place. With this veil, he could craft a flawless alternate identity and operate in the shadows without leaving a single trace leading back to the Shen Estate. The interface was handing him the exact blueprint needed to systematically dismantle his enemies from the inside out.
And the Conquest Roster... He looked down at the beautiful, pale woman sleeping soundly against his hip.
Lixue's subjugation rested at an unbreakable 100%. This was the terrifying, absolute effect of his newly discovered Primordial Genesis Seed. Because his own Yang essence had acted as the ultimate catalyst and origin for her new power, her awakened bloodline was now biologically and spiritually bound to him.
The ability permanently locked her Subjugation Level at a flawless maximum, entirely erasing even the microscopic possibility of betrayal. She wasn't merely his fiancée anymore; she was his absolute weapon, bound to him body, mind, and soul.
Meanwhile, Meng Yan, the proud, untouchable Golden Core Matriarch, was already sitting at 65% after just a single, calculated medical treatment. The psychological hooks he had meticulously planted with his hands and his words were taking root perfectly.
With a simple, dismissing thought, the black screen dissolved into the air like morning mist.
Shen Yu reached out, his long fingers gently stroking Lixue's lustrous black hair. He could feel the terrifying, latent sharpness of her newly awakened Sword Sovereign aura humming beneath her skin, dormant but deadly, waiting only for his command to strike.
"A flawless foundation, a primordial bloodline, and a treasury waiting to be unlocked," Shen Yu whispered, a dark, melodic chuckle vibrating low in his chest. "This city has no idea what it has awakened."
