Chapter 104 - The System Maker Grand Scripture!

Hengsheng clenched and unclenched his fists to test his newly increased power level after the Race upgrade was completed a while ago.

He was now a Megahuman, the realm beyond a Metahuman. There wasn't much difference between the two realms, except that his body strength and durability had multiplied tenfold, his control over genetic trait abilities had become more flexible, and the Spiritual Qi stored within his cells had increased in both quality and quantity.

Overall, it only enhanced what he already had; there was no new ability or trait.

Most Importantly, the upgrade gave him a great bonus—it restored his left arm. He was no longer disabled.

Losing an arm had affected his ability to mobilize Spiritual Qi since the Spirit Vein was missing along with it.

Thanks to his main system's control assistant, he had managed to overcome this limitation. Otherwise, he would have needed to retrain himself in manipulating Spiritual Qi before being able to use it in battle again.

Hengsheng picked up the Timbergrasp Cycle that had fallen to the ground after his arm was restored. He sent an order through the bond, and the prosthetic arm began to transform itself.

Crack!

Creak!

Groan…

It slowly moved and expanded its wood until it became a wooden gauntlet.

"Cool" Hengsheng murmured.

His inner child could not help but rejoice. He wanted to bring out the Verdant Divine Crystal and place it on the gauntlet as decoration.

"Maybe I should find five more gems of different colors and complete the Infinity Gauntlet," he muttered with a chuckle as he joked to himself.

He put on the Timbergrasp Cycle and thought about what to do next.

Hengsheng opened his system panel and checked what he could upgrade.

He found that he could upgrade his Race once more to Tier-4 rank. It would cost him 1 million System Points—not too much, and he could afford it.

However, he chose not to, as he had just undergone a Race upgrade, and his cells and DNA had yet to stabilize. The System warned him that there was a chance of failure, and to prevent it, he would need to spend another million points to stabilize his body.

It would be a waste of System Points. He could simply wait for a while until his body stabilized on its own, then upgrade it to Tier 4 at that time.

"OH!" He was surprised to find that he could upgrade the Fruit of the Heart to complete the fruit. It required 500,000 System Points, but he wasn't going to spend his precious points on this either, as it was unnecessary.

The Fruit of the Heart was a spiritual crystallization of a cultivator's willpower, gradually formed through the Mind Tribulation, and was later utilized to condense the Dao Heart. However, since he already possessed a Dao Heart, the Fruit of the Heart held no value for him.

After he checked all the potential upgrade options, he decided to upgrade his technique.

Hengsheng's cultivation methods and Qi techniques were powerful techniques on their own. However, they had a flaw that his younger self had not considered when selecting them.

The flaw was the flow.

They worked flawlessly as he expected them to be. but they were never designed to work as one. The Thousand Motion Art made him realize this truth, as this skill was all about the flow and connection of motion and harmony with nature.

This was why he decided to merge his cultivation method and Qi techniques, connecting them together to achieve harmony in both cultivation and combat.

The new technique would merge the System World Creation Manual, Thousand Motion Art, Endless Step Technique, Horizon Shift Technique, World Shatter Palm Art, Qi Surge Cannon Technique, Heaven's Pulse Fist Technique, Pure Qi Rebound Technique, and Hidden Mind Sutra into a single technique.

Ding!

[5,000,000 System Points deducted.]

[Technique Integration in Progress...]

Analyzing techniques: the System World Creation Manual, Thousand Motion Art, Endless Step Technique, Horizon Shift Technique, World Shatter Palm Art, Qi Surge Cannon Technique, Heaven's Pulse Fist Technique, Pure Qi Rebound Technique, Hidden Mind Sutra...

[Merging...]

Fusion Rate: 10%... 35%... 72%... 100%!

[Congratulations!]

A new technique has been created:

The System Maker Grand Scripture [Tier-4 / Heaven / Dao] — A supreme cultivation scripture that integrates both cultivation methods and combat Qi techniques into a single approach.

The scripture is divided into two parts.

One, the cultivation — cultivates all aspects of the cultivators in both an optimized and balanced approach. When cultivated to the highest level, it allows cultivators to attain a supreme state of unparalleled Body, Qi, and Soul.

Second, the combat — a unique combat style that combines attack, defense, and movement techniques into one seamless motion, moving vast amounts of Qi with exceptional efficiency and achieving harmony with the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Hengsheng installed the scripture in both the cultivation method section and the skill section.

The influx of new information flowed into his head, and he carefully went through it.

'Worth the price,' Hengsheng thought.

This scripture followed his cultivation path, idea, and combat style; it also fell within the classification of a Dao technique—an exceedingly rare type that could harmonize with the Dao of Heaven and Earth to a certain level without requiring the practitioner to understand the Dao, thanks to the Thousand Motion Art as a merged component.

The cultivation method introduces him to a new pathway of the Qi cycle within his body, which improves his Qi mobilization ability and places him in a good position to immediately perform the Qi techniques of this scripture's combat technique.

It also includes the method of breakthrough and cultivation for the next cultivation realm—the True Body realm.

The scripture still contains all the Qi techniques it had merged with, but they are now connected seamlessly into one combat style.

The combat technique in the scripture is a Heaven-grade Qi technique. If measured by the most powerful Qi techniques inside the scripture, it is the Heaven's Pulse Fist Technique, which is no longer a pseudo-Heaven-grade Qi technique but a true Heaven-grade one.

Hengsheng moved his Spiritual Qi to follow the new pathway, it flowed smoothly even though he moved a large amount of Qi at once.

His vast meridians, once something he thought was beneficial, proved not always to be the case, since more meridian nodes meant more paths for Qi to move through. He did not have a problem with it because his Qi was as large as his meridians, always filling all the meridian nodes.

If it was other people had 512 meridian nodes, but their Qi was sparse and small amounts within their bodies, their Qi would move at a slow speed, which would be fatal in combat.

This new pathway had optimized his advantage to a higher degree. The large amount of Qi and his vast meridians worked together as one to produce high-density Qi, ready to be used at each meridian node.

That means he partially solved his Spiritual Qi low-potency problem.

This scripture perfectly suits his demand; the five million System Points were not wasted.

Hengsheng gazes at the System Points section.

There are still a lot of System Points left, but there is nothing else worth upgrading now.

So, he decided to keep them in case of emergency.

Ding!

He was done with the main system panel, the upgrade of Spirit Core, Race, and Techniques had increased his strength by tenfold or more.

He believed that with his current strength, he might be able to win against a low-rank True Body realm cultivator, not just be on par with them.

But to fight against the middle stage of the True Body realm cultivator? he did not know if he could or not, since the higher the cultivation realm the wider the gap in their strength has become.

He remembered from the Clan elders' conversation that no matter how extraordinary a False Immortal is, no matter what they still would not be able to fight against a True Immortal.

Hengsheng shifted his focus to something else, something he had ignored for a long time since it was not his main interest: the System Window of the Ultimate Leveling System.
