Chapter 1166 - Technique Upgrade, the Emperor Seal’s Reaction, the Seven-Beaded White Lotus

"One gives rise to two, two gives rise to three, and three gives rise to the eventual existence of all beings."

"The laws of men stem from the world, the laws of the world stem from the heavens, and the laws of the heavens stem from the Dao."

"A single strand of qi gave rise to the Three Clarities, transforming a myriad of techniques into one, which could then give rise to the myriad of techniques. Is that why if I master one technique, I'll have no problem understanding every technique?!" As Chu Kuangren gained more insight into the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, his eyes lit up even more, and he learned a lot.

Now that he had ascended into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his understanding of the Dao and Dao Techniques had become akin to second nature to him.

Taking into account the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, his proficiency in Dao Techniques was already on par with ordinary Gilded Immortals.

Furthermore, that was not even the full potential of the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, let alone his limit. His skills in Daoist techniques still had a huge room for improvement.

Besides that, he had also discovered another great use of the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, which could allow him to analyze and perfect any technique in the world.

That was an incredibly powerful ability.

It could even be considered the most important aspect of the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation!

For instance, although Chu Kuangren possessed the incomplete version of the Jade Pool Immortal's Scripture, he could use the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation to deduce and fill in the missing portions.

That would greatly benefit Chu Kuangren when he planned to create his unique Immortal Scripture in the future.

He already had a rough plan of how to do it.

First, he would use the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation as a foundation to merge all Dao Techniques into one, creating a unique and never-before-seen Immortal Scripture!

"There's no rush to make that Immortal Scripture. Let me do my daily gacha roll."

Chu Kuangren opened the Fantasy Roulette and started his gacha roll.

"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a God-tier item — Technique Upgrade Card."

'Technique Upgrade Card?'

Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.

It had been a long time since he had obtained items like that.

However, those items would usually benefit him the most.

He looked at the item description. As the name implied, the Technique Upgrade Card could be used to upgrade the level of any techniques he possessed.

His eyes lit up. 'Upgrade the level of any technique?'

'Now that's quite good.'

The high-level techniques he possessed were just too many.

Like the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, Papiyas Scripture, Jade Pool Immortal's Scripture, Stellar Undying Body, Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, and many more…

However, there was a limit to the Technique Upgrade Card's abilities.

The higher the technique's level, the lower the success rate of being upgraded. Even if that technique could be upgraded, the increase in strength would only be meager at best.

"Lil Ai, analyze all the techniques I have and see which one is most worthy for me to use the Technique Upgrade Card on."

"Understood. Analyzing…"

Soon, Lil Ai had calculated the success rate of upgrading each technique.

The Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation had a zero point zero one percent success rate.

Chu Kuangren was not surprised.

The Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation was just too mysterious and more advanced than every technique he knew.

Although it was not a Transcendent-tier technique, it was almost comparable to one.

The success rate of other techniques was listed as well.

The Stellar Undying Body only had a twenty percent success rate.

The Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement had a seven percent success rate.

The Papiyas Scripture had a twenty-two percent success rate.

The Jade Pool Immortal Scripture had a fifty percent success rate.

…

Among them, the level of the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture and Papiyas Scripture did not differ much. However, since the former was in an incomplete state, it was easier to upgrade.

Upgrading that Jade Pool Immortal Scripture would also allow it to be perfected.

There was no need to do that.

With his Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, he could very much do the same thing.

He soon ruled out the Papiyas Scripture, the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture, the Primeval Jade Clarity Scripture, and many more similar techniques. Perfecting them with the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation technique would be enough.

With that, only the Stellar Undying Body and the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement were left, with the success rate of the latter much lower than the former.

However, once succeeded, the benefits reaped would be tremendous as well.

"The Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, huh?" Chu Kuangren mumbled, already having a decision in mind.

"Upgrade the Soul Refinement technique."

"Target technique selected. Proceed with the upgrade process?"

"Yes."

"Technique Upgrade Card successfully used. Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, upgrade ongoing…"

After two hours.

"Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement upgrade completed."

"Please retrieve the upgraded technique."

When the notification sound rang, Chu Kuangren breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a grin on his face. "I have to admit that I was taking a gamble, but thanks to the Lucky Halo, it succeeded."

A large amount of information erupted inside his mind.

It was a completely new Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement technique!

Having been upgraded, the Soul Refinement technique was now more mysterious. From the previous nine cycles, it was upgraded to the eighteenth cycle — the maximum level of that technique was doubled!

In that case, it should be called the Eighteen-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement technique.

"Great. I can continue my soul cultivation. Perhaps I can even attain a full Gilded Soul before my body and Immortal Core!" Chu Kuangren chuckled.

Meanwhile, at that time, a sudden throb came from inside his body.

"This feeling… The Samsara Emperor Seal?!"

There was a reaction from the Emperor Seal inside his body.

"Ha! It looks like a string of fortunate events are happening to me. First with the Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation, then upgrading the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, and now, the second Emperor Seal has appeared." Without a second thought, Chu Kuangren led Lan Yu and the others toward the location indicated by the Emperor Seal.

That location just happened to be the Great Dreamfog Marsh.

As he got closer to the Great Dreamfog Marsh, even his Heavenly Samsara Physique started to react.

Outside the Great Dreamfog Marsh, Chu Kuangren and his party had arrived.

"The fog in this marshland is thick."

Chu Hong wrinkled her nose.

She was a Fire-based Divine Beast and the symbol of auspiciousness.

However, the marshland was filled with dense water qi, making it hot and humid. Besides that, there were vast areas of bubbling muddy water in the swamp, which made her even more uncomfortable.

"Also, it seems like there are tons of treasures hidden inside this swamp." Chu Kuangren said calmly.

He gently raised his hand, unleashing a wave of golden-red Phoenix's Flame that burned away a huge area of fog, revealing a stony path for the group of them to proceed.

Just then, a giant black crocodile suddenly charged out from the swamp. Its bloody mouth was wide open as it headed towards Chu Kuangren and his party.

However, a dazzling white ray of light shot forward.

Lan Yu had attacked with a punch. The white beam of light immediately shot through the void and blasted the giant crocodile's skull into pieces.

Some of the cultivators who were adventuring nearby were shocked to witness that.

"That silver-haired woman is so powerful!"

"I can't believe she defeated the Blackwater Crocodile here with one move. I guess she must be a very top-tier Earthen Immortal. That was simply amazing."

Everyone started talking about that.

Chu Kuangren could not care less about what the others were talking about as he continued following that faint feeling, venturing deeper into the Great Dreamfog Marsh.

"Master, look."

Suddenly, Lan Yu pointed at a swamp nearby.

A white lotus was swaying on the ground, and in the middle of it, seven pearl-sized seeds were sprouting from the white lotus's pod.

"That's the Seven-beaded White Lotus, a Superb-tier Immortal Herb!"

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up. The Superb-tier Immortal Herb was akin to a True Immortal, meaning it could benefit even True Immortals.

That Immortal Herb would provide unimaginable benefits to Chu Kuangren and the others.

"I can't believe I'd get such a lucky find here." Chu Kuangren chuckled.

"There seems to be some natural restrictions and seals around this Immortal Herb," Lan Yu said.

Some natural treasures would generate restrictions and protective seals upon reaching a certain stage of growth to ensure that they could grow safely.

The restrictions and seals could prevent detection from cultivators to a certain extent.

However, since Chu Kuangren and the others were extremely close to the Seven-beaded White Lotus, they did not even need to sense it as they could see it right away. Hence, the Immortal Herb's restrictions had lost their purpose.

"Leave it to me," Lil Fox said.

After that, she immediately ran toward the Seven-beaded White Lotus. The surrounding restrictions were nothing to her as if they were just air.

That was the divine ability of the Moonlight Fox, which enabled them to negate the effects of restrictions. With her current cultivation level, she could bypass any restrictions as long as it was placed by those below the level of a Gilded Immortal. It was an extremely powerful ability she possessed.

Whoosh…

Just when Lil Fox was about to get to the Seven-beaded White Lotus, a strand of sword qi suddenly appeared. It shot through the air, destroying the restriction seals, and headed right toward Lil Fox!

"Watch out!"
