Heaven Defying Aptitude
"Ohhhh! Yeah!"
"Let's see who can stop me from becoming the emperor of this land."
Alex was extremely excited because he knew that this set of aptitude was the best out of all. Each and every player coveted even if it was only one of these rewards.
Alex remembered that in his previous life, once a player received the Celestial-grade talent from the newbie gift pack. The result was, he became one of the top 100 players in the global server in just one month.
One must know that each and everyone in the top 100 was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm at the minimum. Not just that each and every one who was ranked in the top 100 was a Sect Master of a top-tier sect. It was also the reason how they could gain so many resources.
Thus this talent alone could be compared to a top-tier sect.
But here, Alex has received five such rewards. How could he not be excited.
"Let me first collect my rewards before collecting the daily login reward."
Just as Alex was about to click on the receive button, he suddenly recalled how those MC's felt when they merged with their talents. As he thought about it, Alex's body shivered as he retracted his hand immediately.
"It's fine! Nothing will happen."
"It's fine! Nothing will happen."
"…"
Alex encouraged himself by giving himself a pep talk as his shaking finger finally touched the receive button.
[Rewards accepted.]
In the next moment, a black portal appeared in front of him from which a blackish-golden light descended and submerged Alex's body in it. As soon as his body was drowned by the light, Alex felt an excruciating pain. The lain was so intense that, unfortunately or fortunately, Alex passed out even before he could scream.
After a few hours as the sun was high in the sky, Alex woke up from his 'sleep'. He streched out lazily aa he got off the bed.
"Fortunately, I passed out or else…*sigh!"
Alex still had a lingering fear of the intense pain that he felt for only a moment. He can only hope that he doesn't have to face such a pain ever again.
At the same time he also received the full version of the Chaos Star Swallowing Technique. Obviously, only a small part was accessible to him right now.
But just this small part was enough to shock Alex to the core. Because he realised that the physique which this technique was made for was unique only to him. And no one else except him can have it. Not in the past, nor in the present and neither in the future.
But this was not the main point. The thing is that this body has broken through the realms of Celestial and has reached a new level. The Chaos Star Swallowing Body was a Primordial-grade physique.
Similarly, his bloodline also had the word primordial before it but he wasn't sure. Alex could only be sure of it after he slowly awakened it bit by bit.
So Alex put this matter at the back of his mind. What he needs to do right now is to cultivate and become stronger. Thus he decided to break through first.
Although everything was dream-like to Alex, but since his mind was already affected by reading all those novels, he was barely able to calm himself down.
"Let's become a cultivator first."
Alex took a deep breath as he touched the breakthrough button.
In the next moment, another same black portal appeared in front of him. But this time a white light descended and surged into Alex's body. Unlike the previous time, Alex felt a cooling sensation from it.
"It feels so good."
Alex enjoyed this pleasurable feeling as the pure-white spiritual Qi rushed throughout his entire body. He could feel his strength increasing as his body was being purified. After a few minutes, the white light faded away as Alex became a cultivator.
[You have broken through successfully and reached the Early-stage Qi Condensation Realm.]
"Let's see my character panel."

"Nice! Nice!"
Just as Alex was feeling gleeful, notifications started pouring out on the screen.
[Ding! The cultivation base required for breakthrough has been increased by ten times due to the player's physique.]
[Ding! The cultivation base required for breakthrough has been increased by ten times due to the player's bloodline.]
[Ding! The cultivation base required for breakthrough has been increased by ten times due to the player's cultivation technique.]
[Ding! The cultivation base required for breakthrough has been increased by ten times due to the player's spiritual roots.]
[Ding! The cultivation base required for breakthrough has been decreased by thousand times due to the player's talent.]
"What the f*ck is this!?"
All in all, the cultivation base that was required for breakthrough has been increased by a total of ten times. It was not huge, but in later realms, it was considered too huge.
Fortunately, Alex had the hacked version of the game.
"Thank god! I bought it in my previous life."
The idle farming would give the following rewards per hour:
• One year's worth of cultivation
• Ten low-grade spirit stones
• One random Mortal~Spiritual grade weapons or equipments
• Ten crafting essence
But with the hacked version, it would be:
• 100 year's worth of cultivation
• 1K low-grade spirit stones
• 100 random Mortal~Spiritual grade weapons or equipments
• 1K crafting essence
(AN: 1K = 1 thousand, 1M = 1 million, 1B = 1 billion, 1T = 1 trillion and so on. This is to reduce mistakes while typing zeros.)
The rewards were simply multiplied by 100 times. But even so, it wan not enough for Alex to make the sect stronger. Although he could become stronger alone in no time.
"Let's start clearing the dungeons first. Only then can I receive better idling rewards."
"With my current combat rating, I can easily clear all the dungeons under Qi Condensation Realm."
With that, Alex tapped on the dungeon option and selected the first dungeon.
[Dungeon 1-1. Battle starts.]
