Back within the sect, Xu Tianran casually opened the system interface, curious to see how many devouring points he had collected from the wilderness massacre. But the moment the numbers popped up, even he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

Devouring Points:

Talent: 7500

Cultivation: 10000

Skills: 6600

With a thought, Xu Tianran commanded, "System, show my status."

In an instant, a golden translucent panel appeared before his eyes

Xu Tianran stared at the system window, his heart pounding slightly.

"For the first time… everything has a plus sign?"

"First things first—upgrade my talent to the next level," Xu Tianran muttered. "Actually... my body can also be enhanced through talent points since physique and spiritual root both fall under the talent category. But cultivation comes first. Strength means security."

Without hesitation, he pressed the + symbol next to Talent.

Talent: Heavenly Five Elemental Spiritual Root+

Talent: Chaos Origin Spiritual Root (Mid Level)

The moment the upgrade completed, a wave of indescribable warmth enveloped his soul, like countless gentle hands massaging every inch of his being. It was pure bliss, free from any pain, leaving only endless comfort.

As the warmth slowly faded, his mind became astonishingly clear, as though time itself had slowed down for him. His comprehension ability skyrocketed, and his cultivation speed instantly increased fivefold.

"This... this is insane. Even in the Immortal Realm, I've never heard of such a spiritual root!"

Xu Tianran was beyond amazed. This Chaos Origin Spiritual Root was something even the Immortal World never recorded. After all, in the Immortal World, cultivating laws and comprehending heavenly dao had always depended on special physiques—spiritual roots were merely treated as foundations for early-stage cultivation.

But this Chaos Origin Spiritual Root directly enhanced his comprehension ability to a monstrous level, far surpassing any so-called Heavenly Physique. It was as if the heavens themselves bent down to whisper secrets into his ear, making the laws of the world no longer distant or elusive, but something he could grasp with a single thought.

"Let's increase my cultivation technique using skill points. The rest can wait for now."

Without hesitation, Xu Tianran pressed the + beside his cultivation technique.

Cultivation Technique: Immortal Star Cultivation Technique+...

Cultivation Technique: Blackhole Star Devouring Technique (Minor Success) (Mid God Level)

The moment the upgrade completed, countless insights flooded his mind—mysterious runes, profound cosmic laws, and terrifying devouring methods, all imprinting themselves directly into his soul. This was a technique far beyond the mortal or immortal realms, touching the threshold of forbidden power.

He immediately sat down to test it. As soon as he circulated the Blackhole Star Devouring Technique, his very cells transformed into microscopic black holes, greedily swallowing star energy from the heavens. It was as natural as breathing—like flames drawn to oil, the energy poured into him endlessly.

With the newly awakened Chaos Origin Spiritual Root and this god-level technique working together, his cultivation speed skyrocketed—seven times faster than before.

"This is insane…" Xu Tianran couldn't help but marvel. This was no longer simple cultivation—this was outright devouring the universe itself.

"Strength is the foundation of survival. Everything else can wait."

In the world of cultivation, techniques and skills are divided into distinct tiers and sub-tiers, representing their quality and power.

The primary tiers are: Mortal, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Divine, Immortal, God, and Primordial. Each tier is further divided into Low, Mid, Upper, and Peak grades.

Mastery of a technique is equally important and follows its own progression: Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Minor Success, Major Success, and finally, Perfection.

Only those who grasp both high-tier techniques and deep mastery can truly stand at the peak of cultivation.

But just as Xu Tianran was about to proceed, he suddenly remembered—Divine Soul Transformation Realm would trigger a thunder tribulation. "Can't risk alarming the sect. Better leave first."

With a casual snap of his fingers, a clone identical to him sat down in his usual spot, assuming the perfect act of calm cultivation. Meanwhile, his original body melted into a shadow and silently slipped out of the sect.

Thanks to his earlier work, the surrounding 50,000 kilometers were already cleared of beasts. He travelled deeper into the wilderness, Stopping at a desolate mountain peak 30,000 km away from the sect. After scanning with his spiritual sense to confirm no threats nearby, he opened his status window and calmly pressed the + next to his cultivation level.

Cultivation Level: 6th Nascent Soul Realm+...

7th Nascent Soul Realm...

8th Nascent Soul Realm...

9th Nascent Soul Realm...

Peak Nascent Soul Realm...

The sky above darkened instantly—a terrifying purple-golden thundercloud loomed overhead, crackling with destructive force.

Without panic, Xu Tianran circulated his newly upgraded Blackhole Star Devouring Technique, and when the first bolt of thunder struck—it was instantly devoured by countless miniature black holes within his cells.

To the tribulation thunder, this was outright provocation—as if the thunder itself felt insulted, questioning: "Did you even eat breakfast today? Why are you so weak?"

Enraged, the lightning transformed into a thunder snake, striking down with ferocity—only to meet the same fate, swallowed whole by the hungry black holes.

The final strike came—a heavenly purple thunder dragon, roaring with destructive will. Yet, even this fearsome divine thunder was no match—it too was torn apart and devoured, leaving only pure thunder essence lingering within his soul.

Xu Tianran stood there, unscathed, feeling his soul fortified by thunder itself, infused with a new Thunder Attribute, enhancing his spiritual body. The skies, seemingly defeated, parted instantly, revealing a bright and innocent sun—as if the tribulation itself gave up and went home.

After taking a deep breath, he pressed the + again.

1st Divine Soul Transformation Realm...

2nd Divine Soul Transformation Realm...

3rd Divine Soul Transformation Realm...

4th Divine Soul Transformation Realm...

...9th Divine Soul Transformation Realm...

Peak Divine Soul Transformation Realm...

The devoured thunder continued to nourish his soul, reinforcing his very existence. Unexpectedly, this process triggered a profound transformation—his Innate Immortal Body evolved into an Innate Immortal Thunder Body(Mid level), greatly enhancing his affinity with thunder-based laws. This transformation was not only due to the heavenly tribulation but also a result of the Blackhole Star Devouring Technique, which forcefully absorbed and refined the thunder's essence, integrating it seamlessly into his very being. His whole body flickered with purple-golden thunder, each strand of lightning dancing across his skin like divine markings, as if the very laws of thunder were carving their presence into his flesh and soul.

But despite the rapid power gain, his foundation stood like an insurmountable mountain, thanks to the blackhole technique's flawless refinement and system's pure energy.
