Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Attribute Point Function (Please Follow)
“Father wants to marry off to the Gu Family?”
Wang Yue couldn’t believe it as she pointed at herself, her eyes wide with shock.
“Mmm,” Wang Xing nodded.
“But…”
Wang Yue tried to say sothing more, but he cut her off by raising his hand, “Little Sister, you should understand that our fates were never ours to control.”
“Follow the Emperor’s will and do everything you ought to do.”
“However, you needn’t be too opposed to it, the Emperor may be marrying you to the Gu Family, but you are free to choose your own suitor.”
“This ti, as the Gu Family celebrates their grand wedding, go and offer your blessings, and then pick a man you find agreeable.”
Wang Xing’s tone was irrefutable, and as he looked at his little sister, there wasn’t a hint of pity, only so helplessness.
Just like the fifth brother had been, even losing his life was just for the Imperial Family to gain greater benefits.
Now that the little sister was rely being married off to the Gu Family, what did it really amount to?
Compared with the grand ideal of unifying the Northern Domain, personal gains and losses were already of no concern to the Emperor.
“I understand…”
“When shall we depart?”
Wang Yue took a deep breath, though reluctant, she knew this was a fate she could not change.
The Emperor only had unification of the Northern Domain on his mind, he had never cared for the lives or deaths of his children, not even the Crown Prince’s life would make him hesitate to use it!
After all… the Emperor had more than a dozen children now.
“Today, prepare yourself; your brother will see you off later.”
“Don’t worry, the Shadow Guards will protect you along the way, and nothing will go wrong.”
Wang Xing finished speaking and left without looking back, ready to prepare the entourage and gifts for his departure.
As for Wang Yue, she had no mind to prepare anything, rely got ready to set out after bidding farewell to a few people.
Outside the Princess Mansion, nine third-grade demon beast Spirit Steeds stood imposingly, pulling behind them a small but extraordinarily lavish mobile palace.
Wang Yue sat quietly inside the mobile palace, as if she had lost her spirit.
Just because of a single sentence from the Emperor, she beca an item to be married off to the Gu Family; everything was just for the Emperor’s wish for unification, and yet she could not resist.
Wang Xing’s figure entered the mobile palace, speaking in an unhurried tone:
“There are a few things you should be cautious about on this journey.”
“The fifth brother died today, most likely at the hands of the Gu Family. If you can find any clues, send them back discreetly; there’s no need to cause a commotion.”
“Furthermore, the Gu Family’s groom-to-be is nad Gu Changge, who beca a Sky-controlling Realm Cultivator in less than a month from being an ordinary person.”
“The Emperor suspects that one of the Gu Family’s Ancestors, whose lifespan is nearly exhausted, is imparting his Cultivation Technique to him. If you can obtain information on this matter, send it back imdiately.”
“Lastly…”
“Be careful, and don’t startle the snakes.”
She felt slightly better hearing her brother remind her to be safe, but she did not expect it was also just to avoid startling the snakes.
This caused Wang Yue to let out a wry smile.
She nodded and received the imperial marriage decree from him respectfully, then left the Imperial City under the escort of the Shadow Guards.
Third-grade Spirit Steeds were capable of carrying the mobile palace through the skies, reaching the Gu Family in at most three days.
Yet at this mont, she had not even t any mber of the Gu Family, and still, she had to choose a husband from among them?
The notion was utterly absurd…
As a Princess with exceptional talent, she had never slacked in Cultivation over the years; knowing how heartless the royal family was, she wanted only to beco stronger to take control of her fate.
But now, it all shattered.
No matter how hard she worked, it could not compare to a decision made by the Emperor’s single sentence.
Wang Yue, with a complex expression, could only close her eyes and quietly await to et her fate.
…
Gu Family’s Back Mountain Courtyard.
After resolving the matter with Wang Yu, Gu Changge directly returned to his own courtyard.
He opened his system panel the mont he arrived.
[Attribute Point function unlocked]
[Host has killed a cultivator of the Ruins Realm, reward: 1000 Attribute Points]
[Attribute Points: Can be used to directly upgrade Realms, Root Bone, Comprehension…]
Prompt notifications had rung in his mind the mont he killed Wang Yu!
However, this left him sowhat puzzled; before Wang Yu, he had clearly killed a second-grade Demon Beast, the Green Bamboo Snake, but had not received any prompts.
Perhaps it was because back then, he was only in the Qi Condensation Realm, not having fully opened all his ridians and thus not considered a true cultivator in the full sense.
After he reviewed the introduction of Attribute Points, he gained a rough understanding.
[Host and Daoist Couple, when killing a second-grade Sky-controlling Realm being: 1 Attribute Point, a third-grade Qi Sea Realm being: 10 Attribute Points, a fourth-grade Reach Profound Realm being: 100 Attribute Points…]
For beings of the fifth-grade Ruins Realm, one could obtain 1000 Attribute Points, and subsequent realms would follow this pattern.
[Apart from direct usage by the host, Attribute Points can also be exchanged for Elixirs for the Daoist Couple to consu.]
Imdiately, he opened his panel again and, sure enough, new changes had appeared.
[Host: Gu Changge]
[Root Bone: 102]
[Comprehension: 93]
[Cultivation Technique: Mystic Sky Technique (Earth Rank Mid-Grade)]
[Realm: Mid-Stage Sky-controlling Realm (68/100)]
[Divine Skills: Lingering Sword of the Peak (Dark Grade Top Grade·Small Success), Shadow Concealing Step (Earth Rank Low-Grade·Small Success), Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth Rank Mid-Grade·Beginner)]
[Attribute Points: 1000]
Aside from the new category, a plus sign button had been added next to the Root Bone, Comprehension, Divine Skills, and Realm, especially for the Realm which now had an exact progress indicator.
When he directed his gaze to the Comprehension column.
An option appeared: [Consu 10 Attribute Points to exchange for 1 Comprehension]
Without hesitating, with a thousand Attribute Points in hand, he decisively chose yes!
He didn’t feel much, only sensing a cool sensation sweeping across his mind, and soon after, the number in the Comprehension column changed to 94.
But when his gaze rested on the Root Bone column, the prompt changed.
[Consu 100 Attribute Points to exchange for 1 Root Bone]
The cost was ten tis that of Comprehension?
Not quite…
Guessing in his mind, Gu Changge simply raised his Comprehension to 99.
[Consu 50 Attribute Points, Comprehension raised to 99]
Right at the mont he aid for 100, the prompt changed.
[Consu 100 Attribute Points to exchange for 1 Comprehension]
As expected, it wasn’t that the exchange ratio of Root Bone to Comprehension was different, but rather, after reaching a certain value, the cost for further increases doubled!
Now, having spent 60 Attribute Points, he had raised his Comprehension to 99.
rely one step away, he was no longer concerned with the cost; after all, he still had over nine hundred Attribute Points to spare, more than enough!
[Consu 100 System Points, Comprehension 1]
As the system’s prompt sounded anew, his Comprehension completely reached a new height!
From the original 93, he had directly jumped to a triple-digit figure of 100!
At that mont, aside from the cool and penetrating feeling in his mind with every increase, he could distinctly feel that his Spirit Platform was clearer and there seed to be faint sounds of Dao reverberating within his Sea of Consciousness!
