Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 131 Fate is Unpredictable
The fiery divine light transformed from the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra burned fiercely, illuminating his spiritual world, his Yin spirit, all his memories, and all his conscious thoughts...

All of Gao Wu's memories from his entire life surfaced, and all his thoughts, including those fleeting, absurd ideas, were brought to light.

Good and bad, joy and anger, sorrow and happiness, including his memories of his past life, everything that has ever happened is presented.

A jumble of chaotic memories churned within the divine light of the blazing fire, refining all memories to a crystal-clear purity, including those sudden, fleeting thoughts.

Amidst the swirling crimson flames, all the glittering memories and his consciousness converged, reforming the Yin God.

If the Great Accomplished Yin Spirit is ten times more supple and dense than water, with a subtle, icy texture, then the current Yin Spirit has reached a state of clarity and transparency like crystal, exhibiting an extremely stable and solid state.

Glass is fragile, but it won't melt in the sunlight like ice. In terms of the Yin Spirit level, this is actually a huge improvement.

Gao Wu slowly opened his eyes. The gray-white curtains were already faintly illuminated. He looked at the small alarm clock on the bedside table; it was five o'clock. An hour earlier than his normal biological clock.

Instead of opening the Book of Immeasurable Merit, he activated his Yin Spirit to try touching the small alarm clock on the bedside table.

As expected, the Yin spirit penetrated the alarm clock without interacting or interfering with the matter.

The Yin Spirit had advanced to a higher realm, but its essence remained unchanged. Gao Wu was slightly disappointed, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

The Yin spirit, which cannot interfere with matter, will not be discovered by other martial artists, which is actually an exceptionally huge advantage.

Moreover, the Yin Spirit can interact with the Heavenly Fate Sword, which is enough!
Gao Wu silently chanted the incantation. The Vermilion Bird Divine Light Incantation had been upgraded and simplified, reducing the time to recite the entire incantation to thirty seconds. The Yin Spirit could store eight layers of the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Incantation.

The spirit of the underworld passed through the wall and floated outside for ten minutes in the bright and warm sunlight of the rising sun. The spirit of the underworld felt a distinct burning pain.

It's roughly equivalent to a delicate baby being exposed to the midday sun; the skin will feel scorched, but it can endure it for a while without melting.

The speed at which the Yin spirits flew also increased significantly, as did the distances they traveled.

Specific detailed data will require multiple tests.

Gao Wu felt that after this upgrade, his Yin Spirit had reached a level where his body was clear inside and out, and as pure as crystal.

It can be said that he has undergone a crucial spiritual transformation. From then on, he has affirmed his true self and separated himself from all external forces.

A spirit in this state can be shattered, but cannot be invaded by external forces. Even a powerful demon god would likely be unable to control its consciousness…

Gao Wu opened the Book of Boundless Merit, and just as he had expected, his basic attribute of Spirit increased by 5 points, bringing the total value to 20 points.

This means his mental strength has increased by 7.5 times!
However, this spiritual power is not mental power; although the improvement is enormous, it will not be directly manifested through external expressions.

In his own opinion, his mind works faster, his perception becomes exceptionally sharp, and he can naturally categorize and process the complex information he perceives without causing him any interference.

Whether it's the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra or the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, his chanting is more stable and faster, and the power of the divine mantras he unleashes is greatly enhanced.

While the Gale Transformation didn't actually increase speed, it did improve physical coordination. Although the Swift Thunder Transformation couldn't further enhance the spirit, the invisible lightning power it released was at least doubled.

At this point, even the Swift Thunder Transformation poses a significant threat to martial artists like Wan Canglong!

In addition, the enhancement of spiritual power is mainly manifested at the level of Yin spirit.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, activated by the Yin God, was at least four times more powerful. The high temperature released by the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra was still quite potent, although he hadn't tested it yet.

Based on his experience, 20 points of spirit should be enough to reliably reach the level of a martial arts master. However, there is still some distance to go before reaching the level of a martial arts grandmaster.

The stronger one's martial arts cultivation, the more important one's spiritual attributes become. However, this spiritual attribute is different from mental power; martial artists can only demonstrate their spiritual power through methods such as projecting their martial arts avatar.

It is actually very difficult for outsiders to observe the level of a martial artist's spiritual power, and it is also difficult to have an intuitive understanding of it.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra was upgraded to the Transcendent Realm, which not only greatly increased the Spirit attribute, but also simultaneously increased the Root attribute by 0.5, bringing the Root attribute to 9 points.

Gao Wu felt that a talent level of 9 was still mediocre. He wasn't even as good as a martial artist like Yang Ru, let alone Song Mingyue.

He guessed that Song Mingyue's aptitude was at least 15 points, or even higher. Only by reaching that level could one be considered a true genius.

Finally, there's the Heavenly Destiny Sword.

Gao Wu only looked at the Heavenly Fate Sword last because he could see all the changes in the Heavenly Fate Sword through his Yin Spirit and was certain that the Heavenly Fate Sword was in excellent condition.

If you look at the Destiny Sword with your eyes, you will see that its shape has not changed, except that the blade has grown to 108 centimeters and the hilt has grown to 22 centimeters, for a total length of 130 centimeters.

The sword has been increased in weight by 66 kilograms, bringing the total weight to 98 kilograms.

The silver-white blade was as clear as a mirror, with a sharp and powerful raised ridge in the middle. When Gao Wu held the new Destiny Sword, he felt a connection with it, and his source energy flowed with agility and freedom. The sword moved as his mind moved, and there was nothing it did not respond to.

Although the Heavenly Fate Sword, refined again by the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, became heavier and longer, Gao Wu found it increasingly easy and convenient to wield.

As for the fusion of the Limitless Divine Weapon and the Crimson Flame Golden Scale, it remains to be tested to determine exactly how the characteristics of the Destiny Sword were altered.

With a thought, Gao Wu's Destiny Sword split into two.

Originating from the multidimensional phase transformation characteristics of the Wuji Divine Weapon, it can be easily divided into two identical Heavenly Fate Swords by the activation of the Yin God, only with half the weight.

Ever since acquiring the Limitless Divine Weapon, Gao Wu had been considering this possibility. After all, the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique he had learned required the use of two swords.

I tried it out briefly, and sure enough, there were no problems.

The Heavenly Mandate Sword has been transformed from one into two, allowing not only the use of the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique, but also the use of one for Yin Spirit and one for oneself. This makes the gameplay incredibly versatile.

Moreover, since it can split into two swords, it should be able to undergo other transformations as well. The scabbard is also part of the Destiny Sword, and should also be able to transform.

Gao Wu sheathed his sword, and as he activated it with his Yin spirit, the blade of the Heavenly Fate Sword emerged from the top of the sealed scabbard. The scabbard then naturally transformed into a long hilt, quickly becoming a very long sword.

After several adjustments, the blade length was finally set at seven feet, and the hilt at two feet. In the cramped bedroom, Gao Wu stood quietly, holding the nine-foot-long sword.

He had watched several martial arts masters fight; only An Ziru used a spear, while the others used swords or knives.

In ordinary melee combat, the longer the weapon, the greater the advantage.

As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger.

However, martial arts masters all have their own preferred fighting styles and their most proficient martial arts techniques. They also need to consider the resonance changes between their source energy and weapons, so the type of cold weapon they use varies from person to person.

Gao Wu can completely control the Heavenly Destiny Sword through the Yin Spirit. No matter how the Heavenly Destiny Sword changes its external form, he can control it at will.

Single sword, dual swords, longsword—the different forms of the Destiny Sword give him more options, more coping strategies, and more variations in combat.

The dramatic change in the Heavenly Destiny Sword also greatly increased his strength. At least with his Yin Spirit wielding the Heavenly Destiny Sword, he was capable of fighting a Martial Master.

Even if Wan Canglong were at his peak, he couldn't withstand the Swift Thunder Transformation, and therefore couldn't withstand the Heavenly Fate Sword wielded by the Yin God.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, Yin God, and Heavenly Fate Sword have all undergone tremendous changes, and even high-level martial arts practitioners can only gain a general understanding of them in a short period of time.

He needs time to study and research in order to truly master the power of the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, all the changes of the Yin God, and all the characteristics of the Heavenly Fate Sword.

Regardless, this upgrade has propelled him to a higher level.

Holding the Destiny Sword, and relying on his Yin Spirit and powerful spiritual strength, Gao Wu was able to sense countless source energy particles flowing in the void. He could even "see" that the source energy particles came from the distant and endless void.

The real world and the distant, endless void are establishing some kind of connection through source force particles.

Gao Wu suddenly had an idea: how did the source energy particles enter the secret realm from another world, and how did they infiltrate the real world from the secret realm?

This kind of transmission must have channels, so the space of the real world has been permeated with countless voids... Once these voids spread, they will become secret realms...

Upon realizing this, Gao Wu was horrified. The stable state of the real world probably wouldn't last much longer!
Before the world undergoes its cataclysmic change, he must become as strong as possible! Right now, he might be considered a master among his peers, but he's nothing special among humans. Not to mention, in the face of such a cataclysmic change, what is his meager individual strength worth…

Gao Wu suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

His weakest attribute right now is agility, and luckily the Hunter's Guild has given him another 50,000 points, which he can use to exchange for high-grade flying squirrel potions.

The Flying Squirrel Potion is highly addictive, and very few people use the advanced version anymore. Even so, a single dose of the advanced Flying Squirrel Potion costs as much as 3,000 points.

With powerful spiritual strength, the Yin spirit, clear and lucid both inside and out like crystal, finds the addictive nature of mere potions insignificant.

On the other hand, the surge in his spiritual power greatly increased his efficiency in absorbing and expelling source energy. The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra also significantly enhanced his own benefits.

If he continues to cultivate at this pace, he might be able to condense a second acupoint in his heart and advance to the intermediate level of martial artist in less than half a year.

This speed might seem a bit exaggerated, but when you factor in the 7.5-fold increase in mental strength, it becomes quite reasonable.

His physique was already incredibly strong, with strength and agility reaching the level of a high-level warrior. However, his speed in absorbing and expelling source energy was too slow, and his martial arts level was insufficient, which is why his progress was slow.

The upgrade of the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra allowed him to overcome the problem of insufficient martial arts cultivation and accelerate his martial arts practice.

Even advancing to the intermediate warrior level within six months felt too slow to Gao Wu.

We still need to make as much money as possible to buy more potions. We should also increase our merit as much as possible to activate other divine spells as soon as possible.

Based on his previous two experiences, it seems that he can only activate the divine spell when he suffers a serious injury. With his current physical condition and mental strength, this is something he can give it a try...

"Xiao Wu, dinner's ready." Shang Qingjun gently knocked on the door from outside, interrupting Gao Wu's thoughts.

"Okay, coming right away." Gao Wu originally wanted to take the Heavenly Fate Sword down, but then he thought that there was no need to be so nervous at home.

The Yin Spirit and the Heavenly Mandate Sword are almost one entity; within a short distance, the Heavenly Mandate Sword can be obtained quickly through the Yin Spirit.

Even after such a huge incident, the followers of the demon god shouldn't be that crazy...

Even if the world is going to change dramatically, it won't happen this fast!
After breakfast, Gao Wu and Shang Qingjun began packing. He had very little to take, mainly some personal clothes, and two items that held sentimental value.

At 6 PM, Gao Wu and his group met up with Song Mingyue at the station. Zhou Qingyun also came along with an assistant.

Longteng Company booked a soft sleeper compartment to ensure comfort and privacy during the trip.

Gao Wu and Shang Qingjun stood in the corridor, waving goodbye to the old man outside the window.

The train slowly started moving, and a gentle evening breeze stirred the old man's white hair, making his figure appear lonely and desolate.

Gao Wu felt a pang of sadness: The old man had truly grown old...

Shang Qingjun also noticed her grandfather's condition; her eyes were also a little red. Gao Wu held Shang Qingjun's hand, "It's alright. Once we've established ourselves in Anjing, we'll bring Grandpa over."

"He won't leave Dongjiang," Shang Qingjun said weakly in a low voice.

“How about we find Grandpa an old lady? He should be willing to come to Anjing then…” Gao Wu said.

Shang Qingjun was no longer in the mood to be sad. She glanced at Gao Wu and said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense."

Gao Wu looked completely innocent: "The old man didn't want to come because he had no one to keep him company. If he finds a companion, he'll have someone to keep him company. What's wrong with that! I didn't say anything out of line!"

Shang Qingjun was speechless, but then she thought that this might also work...
