'It's over,' Jin Da-Shan thought.
Just a mont ago, he received two pieces of bad news from his servant simulately.
First, they had lost contact with the Thunderclap Blade Sect group. After so investigation, they discovered that those guys' Soul Lamps had been extinguished—aning they were most likely dead.
Jin Da-Shan couldn't think of anyone or anything within the Outer Rim that could have caused their deaths since most of the people capable of threatening them had already gathered at the tal Seal Station.
'Another unknown variable appeared…'
The second piece of bad news was even worse—their spy inside the tal Seal Station had been exposed and all had been eliminated.
This was a fatal blow to the cult’s plan. The spies were their last resort, intended for use only at the very last mont or when the situation went wrong if everything else failed. They had spent years carefully planting them inside the Golden Sword Sect, and now, all of that effort had gone to waste.
Everything went wrong.
If they failed to destroy the Outer Rim Seal before the cult's army on the surface reached the Golden Pillar, their mission would be dood.
The million years of the Heavenless Dao Cult's plan and preparation were about to be ruined because of his failure.
Jin Da-Shan looked at the Golden Pillar from afar and thought about how things had progressed to this point. He and the others had done everything perfectly according to the plan, but the appearance of Lan Hengsheng and his beast companion had ruined everything.
He wracked his brain for a solution, how he could process to destroy the Five Elent Seal that was within heavy protection of the Golden Sword sect disciples in a short ti.
However, the lack of strength was a problem that could not be overco easily, especially against that feline beast who seed to possess a Divine-rank Bloodline, its power on pare with a peak stage of True Body realm cultivators.
He was helpless.
He had no cards left to play — they were defeated.
'No… there’s still one left,' he thought, his mind racing, filled with madness.
…
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hengsheng, We owe you a great debt this ti." Jian Zixuan said.
Hengsheng nodded and replied.
"No problem. If you don’t want to owe a debt, just pay a spirit stone, and we’ll call it even." Hengsheng said.
Jian Zixuan chuckled, already expecting this response. Without hesitation, he pulled a space ring from his pouch—he had prepared a paynt in advance, having co to understand Hengsheng’s way of thinking.
Hengsheng received the space ring, and then Jian Zixuan said a few more things about the next move to eliminate the traitors before leaving.
Hengsheng returned to the cultivation chamber that the Golden Sword Sect had prepared for him inside the Golden Pagoda. When he arrived, he found that the chamber's formation was down.
Upon inspection, he discovered that it was already broken—the formation flags were shattered, and the natural Qi flow was disrupted.
He recalled that Blue had told him about the attack that split the Pagoda in half. It seed that the damage had also affected the formations inside—so had rely shut down, while others, like his cultivation chamber, were completely broken.
Without wasting any more ti, Hengsheng set up his own formations around the chamber—both protective and concealnt formations—before stepping inside.
He still has so ti before the next wave of God Spawn has arrived from Jian Zixuan's prediction.
Ding!
System Points: 7,855,000 SP.
"ow? Growl!!" Yunsu suddenly sensed that Hengsheng's aura had changed. When she turned to look at her human, she saw his face twist into a creepy smile. She couldn't help but feel threatened and imdiately jumped away from him, retreating to the chamber's corner.
"Hahahaha!! I am rich!" Hengsheng laughed maniacally, already thinking about how to spend it.
After a while, he finally cald himself down. This was the first ti he had such an insane amount of System Points—all thanks to the God Spawns he had killed earlier.
"Let's upgrade the Spirit Core first," Hengsheng murmured while opening the system panel.
Hengsheng's Spirit Core was sothing he must prioritize at the top of the list, as it was essential to his whole cultivation progress.
The Spirit Core represented raw talent as a cultivator. If he had not had the main system to enhance every aspect of him as a cultivator, he might not have been this strong or had such an easy ti comprehending the Laws and Daos with just a Mortal-rank Spirit Core.
This ti he finally brought his Spirit Core into the Divine-rank!

[Upgrading the Quality of the Spirit Core…]
The Fla of Creation appeared just like last ti, its seven colors still marvelous to him. He did not waste this opportunity and began comprehending the nature of the seven-colored fla, further deepening his understanding of the Fire Law.
Ding!
[Skill Level Up!]
[Skill: The Law of Fire has reached Lv. 28!]
….
Ding!
[Skill Level Up!]
[Skill: The Law of Fire has reached Lv. 31!]
The Fla of Creation gradually disappeared into the emptiness, as if it had never been there before, leaving only the System Neutral Spirit Core, which now had a clear, glass-like surface. It was a trait that all Divine-rank Spirit Cores should have.
Ding!

Spirit Core: System Neutral Spirit Core [Divine]
Hengsheng unleashed his Divine Sense through the whole chamber as he tried to sense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
It was, as he expected, that the Divine-rank Spirit Core was on a completely different level from other grades. It not only significantly enhanced the mobility and effectiveness of his own Spiritual Qi, but it also drew him closer to the Dao of heaven and earth, enabling him to achieve a deeper understanding of the world's natural order with greater ease.
He senses that he might be able to perform so low-level Heaven-rank Qi techniques if he is careful enough not to overwhelm himself with Heaven and Earth's Qi.
'Can I change the Spirit Core Type?' Hengsheng thought, the Divine Spirit core was a great thing but the Spirit Core Type was also a factor.
If he had a Powerful-Type Spirit Core on top of the Divine-rank Spirit Core, then he would be like a tiger with wings.
He imdiately tested his idea with the upgrade function.

[Confirm Upgrading] / [Cancel]
….
He thought. 'Looks like it'll have to wait until next ti,'
Hengsheng opened his eyes and observed his surroundings and ti, he found the translucent mucus like the last ti he quickly stored it inside his system world store, it was a good treasure that helped him refine Spiritual Qi at an extre speed.
The next thing that needed to be upgraded was… the Race.
The Race was the only aspect of him that had never reached the sa height as his cultivation level, since he had only recently gained its power. He knew that once it reached the sa height as his cultivation level, its power would not disappoint him.

[Human Race Evolution in progress…]
Hum… there is no warning like the last ti.
This was a good sign for him; it ant that he could tolerate the pain of the upgrade process.
An itch began to form inside his body, as if millions of insects were crawling beneath his skin.
His body twitched because of the itch.
"ow…" Yunsu's eyes stared at him with a pathetic look. Her human liked to act weird, unlike other humans.
Hengsheng's Divine Sense witnessed the effects of the upgrade process on his body. His cells were breaking down and recreating rapidly—one cycle after another. Each ti a new cycle passed, the cells and DNA were gradually transforming.
This made him think about the theory of evolution. With each generation, living beings slowly change their DNA little by little. Only after a long ti, like a million years, does the difference beco noticeable.
The race upgrade he was undergoing now seed to follow this theory, but instead of passing through generations, it was happening to him in a single process.
Usually, the human body constantly repeats the process of rapidly creating new cells to replace the dead ones.
However, unlike this usual process, the upgrade made his cells and body bypass the normal evolution process through rapid creation and destruction, millions of tis faster than the normal process, as though his body had gone through countless cycles in a short ti.
The energy released from all the processes happening inside his body, the energy began to accumulate, causing heat to build up within his flesh and blood.
His body turned red, and steam billowed out of his pores like he was a steam engine.
