[Seventh Floor Complete. Upgrading Title.]
[Choose Reward: Evolution of [Veruns Bite], Duplicity Core Upgrade to E-Grade, Upgrade of Port Atwood to World Capital]
[Additional Reward 8th place: Limited Title Slots 1, Peak F-Grade All Attribute fruit]
Zacs pitch-black eyes went back and forth between the three choices, the pain and exhaustion almost completely blown away. Then again, the black dinsion seed to have so sort of suppressive effect on wounds, so he probably wouldnt be as chipper when he left this place.
A quick look down at his chest proved that the crazy girl had left a burn-mark that almost looked like a fractal, but the wound showed no signs at spreading at least. However, that didn't provide much comfort, as there had obviously been sothing off about that piece of fla she had shot at him.
His best guess was that she had ford so sort of Karmic Tie to him for so reason. Iz Tayn ca from so top tier force though, and Zac hoped that the distance to his remote sector would prove too far away to make it worth tracking him down. If it was even possible since she was just an F-Grade cultivator.
However, the encounter with the crazy fla girl wasn't enough to put a damper on his feelings at the mont. He had passed the 7th floor, a feat that only happened once every few millennia in a star sector with trillions of cultivators. And were no two ways around it, these rewards were amazing.
Better yet, they were clearly custom-made for himself, which was a first since he entered the tower. The reward for clearing the 6th floor had been pretty great too, but it was still sothing generalized apart from the compatibility.
Was it because he had cleared a high-tiered floor, or was it because there had been a special event?
Even better, there was actually a bonus reward for reaching the 8th place, and it provided sothing he had never even heard of before. Getting a fourth slot for a Limited Titles was an extrely powerful boon, and Zac started to understand why so many had been fighting tooth and nail even to the point that so died.
Getting another spot for Limited Titles wasnt as simple as having another title. If that was it then Zac wouldnt have been so excited, since he already had thirty of them. Limited Titles had never been too important for Zac until now, simply because he hadnt encountered any such opportunities so far.
But Galau had properly described the roles of Limited Titles during their climb. The rchant had already confird that getting real titles would get harder and harder, and most people got almost 80% of their titles during the F-Grade. Thats why so called normal titles Foundational Titles. They set the foundation for your entire cultivation journey.
Limited Titles were sothing that you could continuously improve though, and there was almost an unlimited number of opportunities for such titles in the Multiverse. They were the lure the System used to keep luring cultivators into deadly trials and unexplored Mystic Realms, and they just kept getting better the more dangerous the trial was.
One single Limited Title snatched from a deadly D-Grade trial might be even better than the Tower-title he had worked for the past 70 days. Getting another Limited Title slot was essentially getting a 15-20% boost to your power, provided you could get a good title that provided Efficiency.
The reward might not be useful at the mont, but Zac would quickly be able to acquire a few Limited Titles after leaving Earth. As for the scions who risked their lives, it was understandable as well. This was a reward that no amount of treasures, wealth, or guidance could provide, and they no doubt had a bunch of top-quality Limited Titles to choose from through their forces.
Not only that, the System even threw in a small bonus in the form of an All Attribute fruit, which was equivalent to a pretty good Low-Tiered Title. That was the most valuable of all the Attribute fruits, even more so than Luck Fruits. Zac was extrely thankful that he didnt give in to the fear in his heart that told him to cut his losses after narrowly surviving his soul getting crushed.
The rewards from this floor alone far eclipsed the rewards from the first six floors combined.
It also made him wonder just what the others received. Take Iz Tayn for example. She was already strong to the point that it felt like she had sohow snuck inside the Tower while being E-Grade. Just what level would she reach after getting her individualized reward plus whatever reward was awarded the first spot. Did she get multiple Limited Title slots?
Rembering the traumatizing encounter where he almost died made him think of sothing else, and he reluctantly turned his eyes away from the rewards. Zac wasnt ready to imdiately make a choice what to pick, so he first opened his Status screen to check sothing, and just as expected he had taken a huge step forward.

Zacs stared with confusion at his attributes, unable to compute the changes for a few seconds. It was a welco problem through; he had gained too many points. He already knew he would get a small boost from fusing his last two Dao Seeds, but that alone couldnt explain the growth. But he soon enough realized what was going on as he kept opening nus.
The first thing he checked was the Dao nu. He had taken a quick look during the Battle Royale, but he didnt have the ti to properly look at the attributes at that ti.

Gaining the Fragnt of the Bodhi was all thanks to the [Praj Cherry], and Zac wondered if the Zethaya had even known the true value of that thing since Boje had considered a soul-healing treasure. Then again, they did cherish it to the point that they werent willing to part with it for money, so they probably knew that wasnt the limits of its capabilities.
There wasnt a lot of change to his attributes as far as Zac could rember, with the fragnt essentially only adding the 10 to all attributes and a little bit of Wisdom. However, he imdiately noticed how similar its distribution it was to the Fragnt of the Coffin. The weight of attributes was almost identical, with just the focus on Endurance and Vitality being switched.
Getting the Fragnt of the Bodhi rather than sothing like the Grove or the Forest was a bit unexpected, but perhaps not as much as getting the Coffin. Zac had read up on Buddhism a bit since learning that it was an actual cultivation system in the multiverse, so he knew a little bit of what the word represented.
The Bodhi was a divine tree that the Buddha gained enlightennt under, and the word was the term for true Enlightennt, the escape from the cycle of reincarnation. The only issue was that such a Dao sounded related to Buddhism, and he wasnt sure how good a fit that would be to his current cultivation path.
Ogras had joked about him embarking on the path of ascetic cultivation like a monk, but he wasnt ready to take a vow of silence just yet.
But his instincts told him that it wouldnt be an issue. The na of a Dao Fragnt wasn't important, what mattered were the concepts the Fragnt contained. The main focus of the vision hadnt been the Buddhist praying, but rather how the cherry tree had changed after the blessing. It had turned into a divine tree that beca the guardian of the desolate badlands.
It didnt only provide the whole area with vitality, but it also empowered everything within its domain. Normal weeds and grasses had beco full of life and power, quickly growing far stronger than they would be able to on their own. From what Zac could tell the healing he had enjoyed was just part of the picture. The fragnt might have a huge impact on his Hatchetman class, as many of its skills were related to nature.
What would happen if he turned the wooden hand of [Nature's Punishnt] into a divine hand?
Getting the third Fragnt early was a huge relief to Zac, and it took a lot of pressure off. It was a sha that it ca at the cost of the Soul nding dicine, but now that he had passed the Seventh floor he should have a stronger position for bargaining when he exited. Perhaps he could buy another one off the hands from so powerful clan who wanted to make a connection with him.
It also ant that the chance of gaining sothing from the Tower Apparition was a lot higher since he now could upgrade any of his three Fragnts. Ideally, he wanted to upgrade the Fragnt of the Axe, but it wasnt completely necessary at this point. Any of the three would allow him to gain an arcane class, as long as the System considered his new path to be unique enough to be called a creation.
He couldnt wait to experint so with his new fragnt during his ascent of the 8th floor. He had finally managed to use the bronze flash for sothing useful just now, and it had been shockingly effective. It felt like confirmation that he was on the right path, and he needed to capture the mont of inspiration and expand it to his new Fragnt as well.
Of course, getting the final Dao Fragnt wasnt the only surprising gain from the 7th floor. He had not only upgraded his Tower Title, but he had actually gained another one, the first one in a good while. He had assud that he wouldnt get any more titles before evolving unless he got sothing from his massive pool of luck, but it appeared he had underestimated himself.
[Tower of Eternity - 7th Floor: Reach the 64th level of the Tower of Eternity. Reward: All stats 10, All Stats 10%, Effect of Attributes 5%]
[Heaven's Triumvirate: Attain three Dao Fragnts while still at F-Grade. Reward: All stats 5%. All Stats 5. Effect of Attributes 5%]
The Tower-title had upgraded, but not quite as expected. It had imdiately given him 5% all efficiency, rather than just for his three main attributes. That ant one would probably get the perfect 10/10/10 from completing the 8th floor. But then what would happen on the 9th? Did it provide a separate title?
The guy earlier had ntioned tower breakers, and from context it sounded like soone who would be able to defeat the whole Tower of Eternity. Was Tower Breaker perhaps the na of not only the achievent, but an actual title?
Zac unfortunately knew that the 9th floor was out of his reach unless the rules drastically changed on the final floor. The progression of strength had been pretty even during the climb, and he knew that he would start entering true life-and-death battles on the 8th floor.
Even the defeating guardian wasnt a given, and he had already decided to start looking for clues to amazing inheritances as a back-up.
Ti was a precious resource, so Zac held off on choosing a reward a while longer and instead to sit down and recuperate while he was in this special zone. Getting chased down by Iz Tayn had only worsened his wounds from the battle with Faceless 9, and he needed to give himself and his poor shield so ti to rest up.
[Everlasting] almost looked like a lted clump of tal, but it was truly a tenacious item as it was slowly regaining its original shape. Just like his body, it would probably be in serviceable condition within a few hours.
However, the situation with his soul wasnt as easy to fix. The verdant glow had completely disappeared by now, leaving his soul whole. But his soul had inexorably changed after the experience. It was now crisscrossed by black lines where the fractures once were, reminiscent of a Kintsugi bowl. There were also so splotches here and there, marring the picture even further.
He had already felt the effect during the battle earlier, where bloodlust had coursed through his body, almost to the point that he was ready to run straight into a sun. Zac was afraid that the effect would only beco worse as the corruption grew. The energies might even start damaging the miasmic runes from the outside.
He quickly needed to find a solution.
