My Sign-in System Rewarded Me With a Thousand Years of Cultivation
[Successful Sign-in.] [Congratulations, you received a top-notch cultivation technique, Null Chaos Scripture.] "Null Chaos Scripture? That sounds terrifying. I wonder what level it is to be called top-notch." Jun Yunjun was excited as he stared at today's daily Sign-in Reward. Yesterday, he had only received a reward that helped him with his cultivation. It was a Body-tempering Pill which helped him to raise his cultivation level in the Body-tempering realm. With the help of that pill, his cultivation rose by two levels from second-level to fourth-level of Body-tempering. From first to third-level of Body-tempering, it was the early stage of the Body-tempering realm. The fourth level was the start of the mid-level of the Body-tempering realm. There was a qualitative change that was stronger than the first three levels combined. He could feel that his strength had increased by at least five times! More importantly, he now had the top-notch cultivation technique, Null Chaos Scripture. Although he didn't know what level of cultivation technique it was, he knew that it was extremely powerful. Just the name had already sounded so domineering, so how could it be weak? Besides, even if it was not too strong, he could just wait leisurely for a stronger cultivation technique. It was only a matter of idly signing in every day. An ancient book appeared out of thin air in front of Jun Yunjun. He calmly took it and started opening it to comprehend the cultivation technique. However, he only read a few words before his brows creased uncontrollably. He had an extremely ugly look on his face as he closed the book with a sigh. "My comprehension is not enough…" Jun Yunjun muttered. He had not received any reward related to increasing his comprehension from the Daily Sign-in Rewards. His level of comprehension was only the same as an average Body-tempering cultivator. If the Null Chaos Scripture was truly an extremely high level cultivation technique, then it was no wonder that he couldn't comprehend even a single word. He had to raise his comprehension to the appropriate level before he could start to comprehend more words from the ancient book. Jun Yunjun sighed as he put away the Null Chaos Scripture into the system's built-in storage space. Inside the storage space, there were already quite a few cultivation resources that he received as the daily rewards from the system. He was planning to use them steadily so that it could be used for future cultivation instead of using it up all now. In the middle of the storage space, there was a book lying there. It was a cultivation technique at the level of the Body-tempering realm. It was the cultivation technique that he was using now. On the cover of the book, there were words that read 'Heavenly Lightning Technique (Body-tempering)'. It also had a domineering name like the Null Chaos Scripture, but it was a simplified version of the Body-tempering chapter of the Heavenly Lightning Technique. After breaking through to the Qi-refining realm, it would become useless. He would need the corresponding realm's chapter if he wanted to cultivate toward the Foundation Establishment realm and beyond. 'I should continue cultivating…' Jun Yunjun thought as he sat back down and crossed his legs. He hesitated for a moment before he reached inside the storage space and took out a cultivation resource. It was a Lightning Bloodstone that was especially used by lightning element cultivators to temper their bodies in the Body-tempering realm. It could stimulate one's blood qi with lightning and strengthen the bones and muscles. One's blood qi would then have slight properties of lightning qi before even reaching the Qi-refining realm. Their explosive strength and speed would feel like the rumbling of thunder and flash of lightning. Static energy would appear between their muscles and bones. Lightning element cultivators were extremely rare.
Brother Complex
At the same time, in the border of the Southern Region and the Extreme Desolate Wasteland, a group of people were running past the boundary that separated the waste qi from spreading to the other regions. It was a massive natural formation barrier which had existed since ancient times, almost seeming like a part of the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Its sole purpose was to encase the waste qi in the Extreme Desolate Wasteland, preventing it from spreading and corroding the spirit qi of heaven and earth in other regions. Other than this function, it was practically nonexistent and could be completely ignored. This was why any chickens and dogs were free to come and go as they pleased. Of course, that only applied when they ignored the effect of the waste qi.
As soon as this group of people passed the barrier, they immediately felt the spirit qi in the air plummet to a dangerously low quantity and quality. The extreme desolate waste qi seemed like an all-encompassing toxic fog that slowly acted on the body. Their expressions instantly turned ugly as they circulated their spirit qi with their techniques to expel and fend off the waste qi that seeped inside their bodies, bringing various negative effects with them.
"Young Miss, the Desolate Waste-expelling Technique seems to not be able to completely counter the extreme desolate waste qi. When we reach deeper into this forbidden zone and the technique loses its effectiveness, we should use the treasure…" an old man with sage-like brows and white beard wearing a gray robe frowned slightly as he felt the abnormality of the waste qi here. He looked at the young lady beside him and spoke his opinion.
It was a girl no older than fifteen who had a thoughtful expression on her face as she heard her elder's words. Her willowy eyebrows raised slightly as she realized the meaning of the word 'extreme' attached behind the name of the desolate waste qi. Her family's Desolate Waste-expelling Technique was passed down by her ancestors who had lived in the Post-Desolate Era. In that warring age, desolate waste qi had spread wantonly in the four regions and even to the whole world. The Desolate Waste-expelling Technique couldn't be said to be rare in that era. Merely, every family or faction would have their unique inheritances and secret techniques, so any newly created techniques would have their own special bit to it, and were strictly guarded secrets.
Now, nearly a million years later, it was the Heavenly Era where countless heaven's blessed were born and top-tier providences were bestowed to them by the Heavenly Dao. It might seem like a golden age for the families who only had histories that spanned thousands of years or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, but the ancient families and factions whose ancestors experienced the Great Calamity knew that this was the Heavenly Dao's self-defense system. It was the sign of another impending calamity. That, and also the second coming of the desolate waste qi which could spread to all the regions.
"Extreme…" Jun Ruoyue pondered on this word.
The Desolate Waste-expelling Technique was most effective against the normal desolate waste qi that had run rampant in the Post-Desolate Era. As for the extreme desolate waste qi, as the name suggested, it should be an extreme version of the desolate waste qi, or in other words a higher-level one.
Only the supreme treasure of their family which they had brought with them could effectively deal with something like that, and even then, not entirely.
Jun Ruoyue looked at the extreme desolate waste qi that filled the air and the vaguely visible jagged and sinister mountains in the distance. She sighed softly and muttered, "Little Brother…"
Jun Guanlong heard her words and also sighed. "Young Master Yun should be alright. The life talisman indicates that he is alive and well. The Supreme Elder also deduced that he is currently in a safe place, although it seems he is trapped there. We don't know if it is temporary, but Young Master Yunjun should be alright for the time being, Young Miss. We can only try to find his exact whereabouts as fast as we can."
"I understand, Elder Guan," Jun Ruoyue said softly. Thinking of that handsome but cute face, her heart ached uncontrollably. If she had no responsibility as the eldest daughter of the Jun family's direct lineage, she would have rushed out the moment he was confirmed missing and risk her life to secure him as fast as she could. How could she have let ten days pass without any results like this? She was almost going crazy inside. However, her appearance radiated elegance and calm amid the deep concern for her little brother. No matter how much of a brother complex she was, she would never let it show for fear of bringing implications to her beloved Little Snowflake.
Jun Yunjun woke up the next day when the system automatically signed in.
[Successful Sign-in.]
[Congratulations, you received the Divine Lightning Spirit Vein, a top-notch spiritual constitution.]
"A spiritual constitution? And a lightning element one at that. Looks like I finally have one complete set of Cultivation Path consisting of the spirit root, constitution, and cultivation technique," said Jun Yunjun.
"However, it's just the Three-points Path. I still have no lightning element bloodline or meridians."
Despite sitting all night in the water, Jun Yunjun felt absolutely no discomfort. The spirit water had instead nourished him further and rejuvenated his body. Such was the effect of spirit water, even though because it was an early reward from the system, its grade was not high. After soaking in the water for a while longer, he stood up abruptly and made splashing noises. He stretched his body as a reflex from his previous life. His joints made rumbling noises akin to thunder as he cracked them. Then he focused on his body as he could feel the weak Divine Lightning Vein qi coursing through his veins. It would probably partially awaken to the first level when he stepped into the Qi-refining realm. His physique had also undergone a drastic transformation, almost like a rebirth. The lightning qi in the air and the void seemed to be attracted to him like moths to a flame, allowing him to sense them through multiple layers of space. Before this, when he cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Technique, he could only passively receive the baptism of the heavenly lightning qi through a hole torn in the void and space. Now that he could actively sense them, even though he wouldn't be able to control the lightning qi yet, he would at least not be so passive and clueless anymore. Moreover, once he stepped into the Qi-refining realm and reached the late stage of the Qi-refining realm, the Outer Astral Qi-controlling stage, he would definitely gain a primary control over the lightning qi in the void and other interlayers of space.
"Awesome. I wonder if I can hold two constitutions at once, just like having dual-spirit roots?" Jun Yunjun thought. His body's original owner had once heard of a genius who was born with two unique physiques. If he could also hold a chaos element physique, his talent and battle power would rise by leaps and bounds.
It was already the eleventh day since he was transmigrated to this desolate place.
