Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 575 The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes Upgrades!
[Name: Lv Yang]

【Shouyuan: 50】

[Cultivation Level: Early Golden Core Stage]

[Talents: Dual Cultivation Prodigy (White), Skilled (Purple), Innate Celestial Spirit (Gold), Puppet on a String (Gold), Fortune Teller (Gold), True Dragon Bloodline (Gold), Dragon-Slaying Platform (Gold), Usurper (Gold), A Man of Courage (Gold), Refusing to be Subordinate (Gold), Reincarnated Spirit Child (Gold), I Am the First to Reach the Top (Gold), Blessed Beyond Compare (Gold)]

[Dao Fruit: Heavenly Fire, Sword Dao]

[Supernatural power: none]

[Treasure: None]

[Number of pages in Baishi Book: 90]

[Number of anchor points: 2]

As Lü Yang's thoughts changed, the Hundred Lifetimes Book quickly displayed his current interface, and as expected, the changes were exactly the same as when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage.

The supernatural powers and treasures were completely wiped out.

The Dao Foundation has been transformed into the Dao Fruit, leaving only [Heavenly Fire] and [Sword Dao Fruit], without including [Seven Luminaries Heaven] and [Carefree Heaven] in the calculation.

However, what surprised Lü Yang was the last column on the information page.

"Two anchor points."

At first, he didn't realize it and thought that the anchor points used during the foundation building were also included in the calculation. However, after a closer look, he realized that he was wrong.

After advancing to the rank of True Lord, the anchor points rewarded by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] actually became two. In other words, this greatly increased his margin for error when restarting. He no longer had to worry about impulsively setting anchor points and causing unexpected problems, resulting in a dead save file and wasting the anchor points.

I was a little hesitant at first, but now I don't need to.

Lu Yang smiled slightly, then with a thought, he used one of the anchor points to fix it at the moment he achieved [Heavenly Fire].

Lü Yang certainly had his reasons for doing this.

Firstly, he naturally has two anchor points; using one leaves him with another. Secondly, he wants to preserve a period of time where he can still maintain his innocence.

'Up until now, the original me was still an ordinary disciple of the Holy Sect with an undetermined foundation and status, possessing infinite potential. However, if I were to restart and bring my cultivation back, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, it's better to leave an anchor point and restart from this moment onward.'

'To explore the secrets of heaven and earth as a Supreme True Monarch and cultivate one's swordsmanship.'

'When a real need arises in the future, we can return to the state of complete simplicity, thus minimizing interference from external forces.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang decided to close the Book of a Hundred Generations.

After all, based on his experience, the upgrades to the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] would stop there, except for the updates to the anchor points and information bar, and there wouldn't be any more changes.

However, the next second, he saw a pop-up window:
[The Talent Integration Page is now available. Would you like to use it?]

'New features?'

There was an unexpected surprise!
Lu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately clicked on the so-called [Talent Integration Page]. The next second, a large amount of information appeared before his eyes:
[Talent Integration Page: Investing nine different talents into this page has a chance to unlock higher-tier talents]

[Note: The better the talent you invest in, the higher the probability of unlocking a higher-level talent. Higher levels are determined by the grade of the talent invested.]

After a brief review, Lü Yang quickly understood the mechanism of this "new feature":

To put it simply, it's about randomly refreshing talents, removing some talents that are no longer useful, and if you're lucky, you can get a better talent.

The operating principle is also very simple:
You can invest in up to nine talents. If the highest-ranking talent you invest in is a white talent, then you have a chance to get a purple talent.

Similarly, if the highest rank is purple, then you might be able to unlock a gold talent.

Furthermore, the more talents you invest and the higher their rank, the greater the probability of unlocking new talents at higher levels.

"If I only invest in one purple talent, I might lose money and end up with a white talent if I'm unlucky. But if I invest in one purple talent and eight white talents, making a total of nine, I'm guaranteed at least one purple talent. And if I invest in nine purple talents, there's a very high probability of getting a gold talent."

'It's the same with gold talents. If I invest in nine gold talents, there's a good chance I'll eventually get a rainbow-colored talent.'

Colored talents are even more advanced than gold talents.

Lu Yang was certain that since the golden talent allowed him to be ahead of others at the Foundation Establishment level, the colorful talent would definitely be of great use to him as he became a True Monarch!

'But...do I have nine unused golden talent paths?'

Lu Yang did some calculations, then frowned slightly: 'Both [Fortune-Preserving Lottery] and [Usurping the Nest] are extracted from the True Lord's Metal Nature, and their effects are very good.'

These two cannot be swapped.

'The "Puppet on a String" talent isn't very useful to me now, but I might have to restart it later, so it might still come in handy.'

We should keep this one too.

'The "True Dragon Bloodline" can't be replaced; I'm counting on it to build good relations with the dragons. Everything else can be replaced, though.'

"Born with divine abilities"? Even a dog wouldn't need that!

In addition, there are seven golden talents: [Dragon-Slaying Platform], [A Man of Fighting], [Not Subordinate to Others], [Reincarnated Spirit Child], [I Will Be the First to Ascend], and [Blessings Are Not Excessive].

These can be brushed off.

'Although it's not as many as nine paths, it should still greatly increase the chances of getting good drops, especially since I don't have any extra talent to put in.'

After all, besides his golden talent, he only has the [Dual Cultivation Prodigy] and [Has Some Skill], both of which are treasure talents that he can't bear to part with.

'Unfortunately, the drop rate of the [Hundred Lifetimes Book], which refreshes talents, doesn't depend on my own luck; it follows entirely its own internal logic. Otherwise, given my current state of having just advanced to True Monarch and possessing boundless luck, I should be able to get drops no matter how I refresh.'

'These seven will do!'

With a thought, Lü Yang immediately channeled his seven talents into the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes. Then, under Lü Yang's tense gaze, the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes closed with a bang.

"Kacha!"

A sound effect resembling the unlocking of a lock emanated from the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes. Immediately afterward, the book cover opened again, and a burst of colorful light suddenly shone out!

Lü Yang was overjoyed.

Soon, the colorful light gathered in front of him and transformed into two lines of text:

【Colorful Talents: Students as Teachers】

[Disciples serve as role models for their teachers: The better the disciple's aptitude, the higher their cultivation level, and the greater their achievements, the more you, as their teacher, will benefit.]

This description is not detailed.

Lu Yang even took the time to read it carefully before understanding the working mechanism of this talent:
In short, I receive feedback for each new disciple I accept, and the standards for this feedback increase based on the disciple's aptitude, cultivation level, and achievements.

'The worst feedback is aptitude. If my disciple only has good aptitude, I'll at most get some magical power feedback, which is useless to me. Then there's the disciple's cultivation level. I can get Daoist cultivation feedback from this; my disciple's Daoist cultivation is my Daoist cultivation, which is very useful.'

'But the best feedback is the sense of accomplishment!'

'In short, if my disciple does something earth-shattering, I can receive a response based on fate and karma; it's the most mysterious thing imaginable.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but stroke his chin.

'It seems the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] is quite considerate; knowing I intend to establish my own lineage, it specially gifted me this talent. Truly worthy of its reputation!'

In this godforsaken place, you still need to cheat!
