Chapter 2

"For now, you should prioritize cultivating. I can't help you with this matter. You can only rely on yourself now", Jasmine reminded him.

"This disciple understands", Yun Che replied.

In the canon, Yun Che took a month to master the first stage of "Star God's Broken Shadow" while he took three days to comprehend the "Great Way of the Buddha".

Given the thousand-fold amplification, it would take him roughly a day to fully master the former skill and five minutes to comprehend the Forbidden Tome.

"I should be able to master the Great Way of the Buddha in a few minutes. I look forward to what expression she would make when she finds out"

"Right! What do I do afterward? Should I go visit the Phoenix God's trial? I should visit the Scarlet Mountain Range first to collect the fire seed Considering my current strength and trump cards, it should not be a problem."

Yun Che was pondering about how he should approach his current situation. But at this exact moment, he was greeted by yet another surprise.

[To open a game dungeon, charge 0 low-grade crystals.]

Pleasantly surprised, he immediately activated the game dungeon function.

[Loading Dungeon... Loading Error! Reloading Dungeon.....Loading Error!]

[ You spent a day farming in "????", receiving 10 elementary profound beast cores, 10 random elementary profound level herbs, an elementary profound level dagger]

Yun Che was speechless

"Bugged again? At least it's not going against me. Otherwise, I would have felt conflicted"

He tried to open the game dungeon again but it seemed like you could only do so once a day.

"I have gained another cheat. Whoever sent me here, I am eternally grateful!"

"I am too happy I might die"

He could not help but grin once again. But he stopped a few moments later.

"No! I must be calm and composed like an expert. I need to be cool"

He then displayed the calmest expression he could make.

"Did your soul really get damaged? A second ago you were grinning. Now you like a dead fish"

Jasmine said in a genuinely curious tone

"Is she calling me mentally ill?"

Yun Che was devastated by her comment though she did not mean to hurt his feelings.

He quickly tried to change the topic.

"Master, look over here. I have obtained quite a few treasures from the Sky Poison Pearl"

He then brought out everything he earned from the game dungeon.

"What? The Sky Poison Pearl has such an ability? How come this princess has not heard of such a thing?"

Jasmine replied with genuine shock

"The treasures obtained should be related to my profound strength. I should receive more the more I progress on the Profound Way", Yun Che added.

"This Heavenly Treasure is surely exceptional. This pearl of yours truly deserves the title it is given"

She felt elated. After all, the more treasures he gets, the sooner she can reconstruct her body and exact revenge towards her enemies.

"Master, I am planning on heading to the Scarlet Mountain Range. The Evil God told me the seed of fire is located over there",

Yun Che said

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's head there right now!"

Jasmine said excitedly

"I am waiting for my breakthrough towards the first stage of the Great Way of the Buddha and Star God's Broken Shadow. I need to have sufficient strength before I head over there"

Yun Che said with an honest tone.

"Pffft. Do you really expect to breakthrough so soon? It might take you an entire month to do so. Not to mention, comprehending the movement technique I gave you takes geniuses in my realm several months. It looks like our plans would be delay-"

*Boom*

At that moment, a large vortex made up of the vitality of the world was formed.

[Under the thousand-fold enhancement, you have successfully reached the first stage of the "Great Way of the Buddha"]

Yun Che felt his body change. As the vitality of the world was absorbed in his body, the more powerful he felt.

He turned his gaze towards Jasmine and said: "I apologize but I might have missed what you have just said"

Jasmine stood frozen in place. She had realized that her disciple has unparalleled comprehension. Even prodigies residing in king realms shouldn't be this exaggerated. Her brother, one of the most powerful beings of their realm took thirty-three days!

"My dear master, why are you showing such an expression? Am I so amazing that you ended up becoming mentally ill?"

Yun Che felt so good about himself he accidentally called her "mentally ill".

"Humiliating her is one thing. But calling her mentally ill is just wishing for death"

He was afraid of what she would do to him. Will she ignore him? Will she pinch him?

Fortunately, it did not seem like she heard what he said.

After a while, she came back to her senses.

"You are a monster. Did you know that my brother took a complete thirty-three days to comprehend that tome? I don't know what good I did in my past life to encounter such a promising person. I even ended up making that person my disciple", she said with a trembling voice.

"Don't flatter me so much master, I might blush"

Yun Che said, pretending to be thin-skinned.

"Hmph. Although you may appear shameless, you do deserve it. I am now looking forward to how long you will take to master the 'Star God's Broken Shadow'. You better not disappoint me"

She replied.

"Actually, I feel like I can comprehend it within this day"

Yun Che replied with a bright smile.

Yun Che : :D

Jasmine : :0

"Was meeting him actually a result of an accumulation of bad karma? Dear heavens, I might pass out if I get more surprises"

Jasmine thought

"So, what else are you waiting for? Start comprehending the text!"

She said, similar to a boss berating his employees.

Yun Che just smiled inside. The movement art was being comprehended without him even trying. Otherwise, how can it be called an "AFK Software"?

But since he really did not have anything to do at the moment, he just sat down and cultivated.

The next day....
