Heaven Breaking Eyes

After watching Shi Hao leave, Hong Tian walked straight to his residence.

He took a bit of time to clean his body and change clothes.

With his current realm, cleaning up without taking a bath was easy. However, Hong Tian preferred to take a bath instead of using 'Clean Spell'.

After all, people's habits cannot be changed overnight.

Having done everything, he immediately opened the panel and inspected it again.

The <Sect Member> is a list of all sect members, including the sect master. Apart from the name, it also recorded age, cultivation base, talent, origin, and martial arts.

The <Sect Territory> is the name of the place that the Eternal Star Sect occupied.

Since there are no other sects in Desolate Plain apart from the Eternal Star Sect, claiming the entire Desolate Plain as the Eternal Star Sect's territory would be reasonable.

"Sect Facility..."

Hong Tian understood what the <Sect Facility> was. What he didn't understand was the way the system rated every facility in his sect.

What the hell was Level 1 mean?

"System, what is the meaning of Level 1?"

[Level 1: Provides 5% bonus attribute on each facility function.]

[Note: The higher the level of the facility, the higher the bonus attribute will be produced.]

An understanding expression formed on his face.

"Does that mean if I upgrade the Alchemist Hall to Level 2, the pill production will increase by more than 5%?"

[Yes.]

"How about Contribution Points?"

[Contribution Point: Points can be obtained after completing missions that the system issues. It can be used as currency to exchange treasures in the Sect Shop. ]

"The Sect Shop?"

Hong Tian's eyes lit up.

Just by its name, he could imagine how many treasures there were in the Sect Shop. Judging from how casually the system took out a Tier-4 pill, the treasures stored in the Sect Shop were definitely not inferior to Tier-4 pills. There might be treasures above Tier 4 there!

"Um?"

Hong Tian carefully looked at the panel several times and asked in confusion, "System, where's the Sect Shop? Why can't I find it?"

[Sect Shop can only be opened when the host earns at least 1 Contribution Point.]

"So, how do I get Contribution Points?"

[Please open Achievements to claim your Contribution Points!]

Without thinking much, Hong Tian immediately opened <Achivement>.

<Achivements>

[The Creation of A Sect: Create a sect somewhere and become a sect master. Requirements: Named the sect. Rewards: The Sect Master Gift Package. Mission period: No limit. Mission failure: Unbound the system. Progress: Completed.]

[Disciple Recruitment I: Recruit 10 disciples. Requirements: No specific talent requires. Reward: 100 Contribution Points. Mission period: Three months. Mission failure: Deactivated system. Progress: Failed.]

...

Hong Tin was shocked and baffled, "System, what is this all about? How come I have so many achievements even though I haven't done anything?"

[Those achievements belong to the previous host. Due to the deactivation of the system, the rewards cannot be claimed.]

Hong Tian was stunned, and then he realized something, "Wait, doesn't that mean the original Hong Tian is bound to the system?"

[That is correct. However, due to the previous host's incompetence, the system is forced to enter Deactivation Mode for a hundred years. While he can still accomplish many achievements, he cannot claim the rewards until the system activates again.]

Hong Tian frowned for a moment. Then, he tilted his head in perplexity: "I didn't get any memory regarding this matter. The original Hong Tian doesn't have the slightest memory of anything related to the system…."

[The previous host's memories are automatically sealed once Deactivation Mode is on. During the deactivation, the system will continue to observe whether or not the last host is appropriate to continue the mission. Unfortunately, he died before the hundred-year deactivation duration was up. Due to this reason, Deactivation Mode is forcibly revoked.]

"I see..." Now Hong Tian finally understood.

The original Hong Tian failed to recruit ten disciples within the system's given duration. Thanks to that, the system entered the Deactivation Mode.

Despite that, he could still obtain many achievements without the system's assistance. Unfortunately, he couldn't last long.

Then again, since the system could prevent Hong Tian from dying, why didn't he help the original Hong Tian at the critical moment? So he asked...

[System cannot provide assistance in Deactivation Mode.]

Hong Tian ultimately nodded without saying anything.

It seemed he had to be careful and avoid future scenarios where the system could enter Deactivation Mode. Otherwise, he would be as unlucky as the original Hong Tian.

Hong Tian continued to look at the panel and saw a [Claim All] button.

He pressed it without hesitation.

[Ding! You have received The Sect Master Gift Package.]

[Ding! You have received 15,200 Contribution Points.]

[Ding! The Sect Shop is now open!]

"Fuck, I'm rich!"

Seeing how many Contribution Points he got, Hong Tian couldn't help but laugh.

The original Hong Tian worked so hard to accomplish many things, but someone else harvested the rewards.

Hong Tian felt bad, yet he felt funny at the same time.

If Hong Tian's spirit is still alive and knows this, he will surely not hesitate to curse the thief to death.

Now then, let's not think about dead people~

"System, quickly open The Sect Master Gift Package!" Hong Tian excitedly ordered the system.

[You have opened The Sect Master Gift Package.]

[Ding! You have received a Divine Ability - Heaven Breaking Eyes.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-4 Heavenly Star Technique.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-3 Seven Stars Sword.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-3 Minor Breakthrough Talisman *2]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-3 Earth Escape Talisman *3.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-2 Foundation Pill *5.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-2 Holy Lotus Pill *10.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-2 Green Lotus Pill *20.]

[Ding! You have received the Tier-1 Spirit Peach *50.]

...

Once again, Hong Tian was shocked by the system's generosity.

The content of The Sect Master Gift Package is wealthy.

It made him happy just to look at the list of those treasures.

Hong Tian immediately looked at the treasures he had just obtained, one by one.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw this particular prize.

Divine Ability!

Divine Ability was a skill that could grow strong as the practitioner became strong. It was not tier-like martial arts and would not be limited to a specific realm.

What popped up in his mind, Divine Ability was a skill beyond rare. Even the Tier-5 sect might not have it. If it were to appear in public, it would become a source of contention for the major sects and even trigger a war.

Hong Tian did not expect to obtain something this rare even before doing anything worthy.

This system is obviously trying to coax him to become a sect master and obediently enjoy the treatment.

However, the method does work...

Even he, who was slightly reluctant to take on this sect master's role, his heart swayed.

[Does the host wish to learn Heaven Breaking Eyes?]

"... yes."

In the end, Hong Tian still yields.

He is truly a slave of resources...

Soon, Hong Tian could feel a tremendous transformation in his eyes. He could see more clearly as if there was nothing to conceal from his sight.

Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone here, so he couldn't test this Divine Ability's usefulness.

In the end, Hong Tian decided to set aside his Divine Ability first and research it again later.

He looked at the next item - Tier-4 Heavenly Star Technique.

Once again, he felt delighted.

The Heavenly Star Technique in his possession is only Tier-3, which limits his practice to the Peak of Core Formation. If he wanted to break through to the Purple Mansion, he needed the Tier-4 Heavenly Star Technique or change to another cultivation technique of a higher tier.

However, changing the cultivation technique took more work than changing clothes. It's troublesome, mainly because it takes a long time.

It's a waste of time.

What's more, how could a Tier-4 cultivation technique be that easy to find?

The only way was to explore the ruins. If he were lucky, he would get his objective and die otherwise.

This Tier-4 Heavenly Star Technique is to help him and enrich the sect's background.

With Tier-4 cultivation techniques, any sect would have the assurance of cultivating Core Formation cultivators.
