Chapter 26: Official Cheats, Three Major Benefits
"It is good that you have this resolve," Lei Chen nodded slightly, his tone calm but carrying a hint of a reminder. "However, there is one thing I must inform you of in advance."
His gaze swept over the shimmering Angel Sword in Ye Guyi's hand as he continued, "Without this sword, after you slay an Evil Soul Master, most of the purification power generated would feed back into yourself, helping your Soul Power cultivation grow rapidly."
"But now, since the Holy Sword has recognized you as its master, this purification power will be absorbed by it first to repair itself and awaken its divinity."
"This means that in the future, the speed at which you increase your Soul Power through purging evil will be far inferior to before. Your cultivation path will, to a large extent, need to return to tradition, relying on your own meditation and accumulation. Your progress may be much slower. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Ye Guyi did not hesitate for a moment. She nodded firmly, her deep blue eyes clear and bottomless, showing no greed or regret.
"This junior understands. Compared to awakening the Holy Sword and restoring the glory of the Angel, the speed of personal cultivation is insignificant. As for Soul Power cultivation, I will naturally practice diligently and improve step by step. I have no complaints!"
Her voice was crisp and decisive, carrying a sense of responsibility and open-mindedness that transcended her age.
Lei Chen smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this; he needed a God Position reforger with such a steadfast character.
"Good! Since you have such determination, I shall lend you another helping hand and grant you three major benefits, so that you may walk more steadily and further on this path!"
Before his voice had even faded, Lei Chen raised his hand and gave a light beckon toward the void. The space in front of him distorted slightly, and a peculiar immortal grass manifested out of thin air, floating in mid-air.
This immortal grass was pure white like jade, as if carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade. It emitted soft and pure energy fluctuations all over its body, as if it had condensed the purest essence of heaven and earth.
This was exactly the primal chaos immortal herb, grown in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth!
"This is the primal chaos immortal herb," Lei Chen introduced. "It can directly increase your Soul Power level and can also greatly compress the Soul Power within your body, doubling its total amount and making your foundation incredibly stable."
"Consuming it will not only allow your Soul Power foundation to far exceed Soul Masters of the same level, but it will also lay the most solid foundation for you to condense a Soul Core in the future."
Lei Chen continued, "Your Holy Angel Martial Soul is currently in a two-winged form. Once you break through Level 90 and condense your first Soul Core, your Martial Soul will evolve and transform into the more powerful Seraphim."
"But if you have this primal chaos immortal herb to solidify your foundation and compress your Soul Power, it will allow you to condense your first Soul Core early at the Level 70 Soul Saint realm!"
"At that time, your Martial Soul will evolve into a Seraphim ahead of schedule, and your strength will surely undergo a qualitative leap. This will be of great benefit to your future purging of evil and the awakening of the Holy Sword."
Hearing this, an amazing brilliance erupted in Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes.
Condensing a Soul Core at Level 70 and evolving her Martial Soul early—this was simply an opportunity she had only dreamed of. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and respectfully extended both hands, "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!"
The primal chaos immortal herb drifted lightly into her palm, feeling warm to the touch as if it possessed a spirit of its own.
Immediately after, Lei Chen flicked his finger, and a tiny seven-colored stream of light containing supreme authority shot out, silently sinking into the back of Ye Guyi's right hand.
Ye Guyi only felt a slight heat on the back of her hand. Looking down, she saw an extremely complex and profound seven-colored runic mark quietly emerge, imprinted on her skin as if it were natural. After a slight flicker, it disappeared, but she could clearly perceive its existence.
"The primal chaos immortal herb is the first benefit for you. The second is this mark," Lei Chen said. "With this mark, you can freely enter and exit the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and no Soul Beast will stop you."
"When you need to obtain a Soul Ring in the future, you can go to the Star Dou Great Forest, find a Soul Beast you like, and simply 'imprint' its skill."
"'Imprint'?" Ye Guyi caught this unfamiliar term, and a look of obvious doubt appeared on her pretty face.
The knowledge she had accepted since childhood was to hunt Soul Beasts and absorb Soul Rings. What was this 'Imprinting' all about?
Lei Chen smiled faintly and explained, "Not long ago, I modified the basic rules of this world. From now on, the death of a Soul Beast will no longer produce a Soul Ring."
"If a Soul Master needs to advance, they must communicate with a Soul Beast through Soul Power and, via the method of 'Imprinting,' obtain skills from it to condense a Soul Ring. There is no longer any need for slaughter."
"What?!" Hearing this, Ye Guyi's delicate body shook, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her beautiful face was filled with incomparable shock.
Modifying the rules of the plane?!
This... what kind of heaven-defying means was this!
The senior before her could actually do something like changing the world and reshaping the cultivation system? This had completely exceeded her imagination!
She had originally thought Lei Chen was a hidden powerhouse with unfathomable strength, but now it seemed this senior was likely countless times stronger than she had imagined!
Seeing Ye Guyi so shocked she was speechless, Lei Chen only smiled slightly and continued, "The Great Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest already know of this and will cooperate."
"When the time comes, whichever Soul Beast's skill you take a fancy to, you only need to show this mark, and they will naturally allow you to perform the Imprinting."
Ye Guyi worked hard to digest this earth-shattering information. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Yes, this junior will keep it in mind."
"As for this third benefit..." As Lei Chen spoke, he slowly raised his hand, his index finger shimmering with a deep seven-colored light, and lightly tapped Ye Guyi's smooth forehead.
Ye Guyi felt a coolness at her brow, and a vast and strange flow of information instantly flooded into her mind. It did not bring any discomfort; instead, it felt as if it had been there since birth.
In the next moment, her 'vision' seemed to instantly elevate infinitely, then covered the entire Douluo. Countless points of light, some bright and some dim, appeared in her perception like stars.
These light points varied in size and brightness, yet each one emitted an evil aura. Clearly, each light point represented an Evil Soul Master.
Then she instantly understood: the larger and brighter the light point, the stronger the Evil Soul Master's strength and the deeper their sins. Their precise locations, and even their specific movement trajectories, were presented in her perception in real-time!
"This... this is..." Ye Guyi was once again stunned by this miraculous method.
All the Evil Soul Masters in the world were like fireflies in the dark night, with nowhere to hide before her!
"This third benefit is the real-time positioning of all Evil Soul Masters on the Douluo." Lei Chen withdrew his finger, his tone still calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter. "In this way, looking for prey will no longer be like searching for a needle in a haystack. You can more efficiently purify evil and awaken the Holy Sword."
