Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 371: Soul-stealing
"Jiang Jian, I'm all changed."

Below the center console, Lu Chen walked up to him with a smile on his face.

"I never expected that there would be something in this attic that the Lu family doesn't have."

Lu Chen's tone was slightly excited, "Now my resource preparations are basically complete."

Clearly, he was very satisfied with what he had just redeemed.

"That's good."

Jiang Jian responded and walked towards the central control panel.

Lu Chen turned around and followed, asking, "What do you want to change to?"

Jiang Jian walked to the bottom of a panel and said, "Talent Light Cluster."

There is a search box on the control panel.

You can use it freely as long as you verify your identity.

Lu Chen clicked his tongue and said, "The talent orbs here are almost all from the fifth-level talent Earth Moon Human race, purchased by the Prayer Moon Palace before their lifespans ran out."

He paused, a hint of jealousy in his voice, and continued, "I just saw that the innate light orbs of these Earth Moon Race are much stronger than those of our surface world."

Jiang Mian remained calm and said, "This is normal. The talent of the Earth Moon race is inherently stronger than that of the surface race."

"The probability of encountering techniques and martial arts is much higher than in the surface world."

"The extracted talent orbs will naturally be stronger."

While talking.

Jiang Jian has completed the search.

Accurately locate all the level 5 talent orbs in the attic.

After seeing the description information.

Jiang frowned slightly upon seeing this.

The natural light clusters on the moon are indeed significantly different from those on Earth's surface.

Nearly half of them were "techniques"!
The other half.

It consists of "martial arts" and "physical fitness".

There are none of the remaining three types!

The source of these innate light orbs is entirely the official Qiyue Palace.

The divine gifts bestowed upon living beings, once reaching this level, are no longer allowed to be stripped away on their own.

For talents of level 3 or above, if the talent is to be extracted and transformed into a talent orb, it must undergo rigorous review.

Furthermore, an agreement must be signed with the government office to ensure various matters before it can be sold to the authorities.

Most of these beings only choose to strip away their talents and exchange them for resources and spiritual objects before they die, when their lifespan is about to end.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, only beings nearing the end of their lifespan will be approved for the process of stripping away their talents.

Besides.

In most other cases, the official review will reject the request and refuse to strip the talent away.

“Each of these talent orbs is very useful.”

Jiang saw his finger swiping as he carefully searched through the list.

Each of those talent orbs looked incredibly powerful.

soon.

He collected several talent orbs and noted their locations on the screen.

The first one above is about talents of the Divine Soul type.

……

"Level 5 talent, Light Orb, Soul Stealing Technique."

Points required for redemption: 70 points.

……

"Level 5 talent orb, Netherworld Sword Qi, Martial Arts."

Points required for redemption: 60 points.

……

"Level 5 talent, Light Orb, Deceptively Realistic, Technique."

"Points required for redemption: 70 points."

……

"Level 5 talent: Light Orb, Invulnerable to Blades and Spears, Body."

"Points required for redemption: 60 points."

……

After repeated comparisons.

Jiang Jian prefers "soul-capturing" and "invulnerability".

The former relies on the power of the divine soul to activate it.

In a short period of time, the power output of the source force increased dramatically, and the power of the soul burst forth, permeating the enemy's soul.

When one cultivates to a high level, one can even easily manipulate the behavior of others.

For Jiang Jian.

This innate skill can be used in conjunction with "Clear Mirror Still Water".

The combination of the two can produce an incredibly powerful effect.

The latter, "invulnerability," is a passive talent.

Its effects are simple and direct.

Externally, it greatly enhances physical strength and significantly increases affinity with spiritual energy.

Internally, it increases the toughness of the meridians and the strength of the acupoints.

Jiang Jian focuses on cultivating spiritual essence.

For them, physical strength and affinity with spiritual energy are merely secondary considerations.

What they really care about is...

This innate light has a powerful effect on enhancing the acupoints and meridians!
If it were someone else...

This effect can only be considered icing on the cake.

But for Jiang Jian, it was an unbelievable and terrifying enhancement!
because.

Jiang Jian's two acupoints.

Everything has been repaired to perfection.

There is no way forward.

However, this innate light orb is "invulnerable to blades and spears," and can ignore the original condition of the acupoints, directly bringing a fixed improvement!

The Innate Aura is derived from divinely bestowed talents.

In the solar system.

God-given talents are everywhere, and everyone possesses them.

But its priority surpasses everything else.

"The improvement this talent has brought me is simply unimaginable."

Jiang Jian's gaze fell on "invulnerable to swords and spears".

He speculated that if this talent orb were used...

The two acupoints that had originally reached their limit.

It is highly likely that it will be further enhanced under the influence of its divinely bestowed talent!
Divinely Granted Realm: 121% Cultivation Progress.

The cultivation of the Yongquan Realm has reached its limit.

These two are one's perfect foundation and the basis for one's cultivation.

Even the slightest change will affect the entire practice!

If the "Invulnerable" talent orb truly has an extremely high priority, just as I imagined.

Furthermore, it brings a substantial increase in the strength of acupoints and meridians.

Then one's cultivation progress will immediately soar to new heights!
If it were an ordinary living being...

This is the "invulnerable" talent orb.

It can only be considered decent. Because...

Not everyone can cultivate a perfect foundation.

The slight improvement brought by talent can only make up for some shortcomings in his past cultivation that were not perfected.

But here, Jiang Jian is.

This is a small improvement that others don't pay much attention to.

But that was enough to cause his cultivation to grow exponentially!
Just thinking about it.

The remaining talent orbs gradually turned gray.

Even the holographic image of "Soul-Stealing and Spirit-Seizing" collected by Jiang Jian has dimmed.

Only "Invulnerable to Swords and Spears" remains, and it comes in bright colors, so it can be selected.

"Are they all reserved?"

Jiang Jianmu looked thoughtful, left the center console, and walked towards the "invulnerable" holographic screen.

"I just don't know if my perfect cultivation can really be improved again through the innate light orb."

Although it was based on speculation.

Jiang Jian believes that its priority should be very high.

But in actual use, does it actually work?

Even Jiang Jianxin couldn't be completely sure.

If this innate light does not enhance the acupoints and meridians...

Those 60 points would be wasted, as they wouldn't bring any real improvement.

Because the "Invulnerable to Blades and Spears" talent orb primarily enhances physical strength and affinity with spiritual energy.

Increasing physical strength doesn't significantly improve one's combat power; it's better than nothing.

And the degree of affinity with spiritual energy.

Although it has improved its actual combat capabilities to some extent.

But for myself.

It's merely icing on the cake; its effect is not significant.

"If it is a cluster of innate light, it has truly enhanced my perfect acupoints."

"This demonstrates that the power of the gods is comparable to the rules of the cosmos."

"It even broke the rules of the cosmos to a certain extent!"

Thoughts are surging.

Jiang Jian stopped and looked at the holographic screen in front of him.

In the lower left corner of the screen, the "Invulnerable to Blades and Spears" talent glow appears.

The required points are exactly 60.

"Jiang Jian, do you want to exchange this?"

Lu Chen walked closer, glanced at the screen, and looked somewhat surprised. "This kind of talent is of no use to us."

Jiang Jian remained silent for a moment, not answering directly, but instead asked, "Can we also obtain selection points during the preparation phase after entering Wangyue City?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Jian stopped hesitating, took out his identity device, and swiped it directly in front of him.

"Confirm redemption".

beep!
A beep sounds.

After verification.

Jiang Jian spent 60 points to exchange for the "Invulnerable to Blades and Spears" talent orb.

A mechanical voice came from the holographic screen.

"Exchange successful!"

As the prompt sound falls.

The color of the innate light immediately dimmed.

The redemption button has also turned gray.

"Core resources are in limited supply and require time to prepare. Please be patient."

I heard a notification sound.

Jiang Jianxin wasn't surprised and turned to look at Lu Chen: "Let's go."

aside.

Lu Chen's mouth was slightly open, and a hint of surprise still lingered on his face.

But Jiang saw that the exchange had already been completed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't say anything more.

He was just guessing that Jiang Jian might have a relative who was practicing body cultivation, which was why he exchanged it and took it back for his relative to use.

"Let's go, it's time to go into town."

After a moment, Lu Chen came to his senses, responded, and followed Jiang Jian out of the pavilion.

The reaction to Lu Chen.

Jiang Jian didn't pay any attention.

As he walked, he carefully recalled his earlier guess.

This matter seems very small.

Actually.

However, he himself, to some extent, managed to peek into the divine realm.

The power of the gods and the rules of the cosmos.

Jiang Jian had no idea which of the two had a higher priority.

But now.

They had the opportunity to verify it themselves.

All of this is thanks to the perfect spiritual essence of the two acupoints.

A divinely granted cultivation rate of 121%, unprecedented.

Even using the Divine Fire of Purification, it is impossible to temper it again.

But soon.

All I need is a level 5 talent orb.

Then one can obtain the truth that is unknowable and unattainable by the world.

The four realms of Earth, Moon, and Man are all places where education is meant to tell the world this.

A divinely bestowed talent is a gift from the gods, transcending everything and almost equivalent to an absolute law.

Technique, martial arts, physical fitness.

Intention, military, mind.

Every talent has its unique role.

This is sufficient proof of the power of divinely bestowed talents.

However, when Jiang Jian broke through to the next realm, he also witnessed the rules of the starry universe.

Starry Sky Rules.

It is irresistible and inviolable.

It represents the truth of the vast starry sky, the countless stars, and their operation.

As for the gods' prying eyes, even in the slightest way, it is something that mortals would never dare to even think about.

"By the way, where did Shang Tianhai go?"

Stepping out of the attic, Lu Chen suddenly spoke.

Jiang Jian shook his head slightly.

After entering the attic, the three of them separated.

Jiang Jian was busy exchanging "Soul-Nourishing Wood" at the time and did not notice Shang Tianhai's whereabouts.
