Chapter 262 The Secret of the System
Bai Ke walked forward somewhat helplessly, feeling as if he had returned to his student days and was being called outside the classroom by his teacher for a lecture.
Murong Yuanyang, however, was very serious and asked in a low voice, "Such a big thing happened, and you're not even looking at it? What have you been doing?"
"Didn't I say I was cultivating in my room at the time and didn't notice?"
"Don't give me that crap. I know what kind of person you are, don't I?" Murong Yuanyang said with a disdainful look.
Bai Ke was speechless. It seemed that he had been too unrestrained in the sect recently, which was completely different from the Bai Ke who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion before he possessed the body.
This caused Murong Yuanyang's impression of him to change, and he felt that Bai Ke seemed to have gone through puberty and become somewhat unruly.
"I don't care what kind of mess you're making today, I just hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again, understand?" Murong Yuanyang continued.
"I understand, Uncle Murong." Bai Ke wisely lowered his posture and addressed Murong Yuanyang as a nephew.
Murong Yuanyang's expression softened considerably upon hearing Bai Ke call him "uncle," and he then spoke earnestly:
“Child, I’m doing this for your own good. Now is the time for the Holy Son’s election. The more important matters of the Enforcement Hall you participate in and the more merits you accumulate, the more advantages you will have.”
Although you currently have the best chance of winning among your competitors, you cannot let your guard down or become complacent. Fang Shiqing's death is actually a good thing for you.
He was very close to that old scoundrel, Second Elder Xing Jian, and therefore secretly supported Lin Xiu's candidacy for the Heavenly Strategy Saint Son. As one of the heads of the Wanbao Hall,
Having connections and power can be a significant obstacle for you. But now it's all right; he was killed by Ling Feng, so he deserved to die.
Bai Ke listened and nodded to show that he understood. He still respected Murong Yuanyang, after all, he and his father Bai Yan were old acquaintances.
Murong Yuanyang then asked, "I heard you don't get along with Ling Feng?"
Bai Ke replied, "That's right. This kid likes Xin'er, so he hates me a lot. I also taught him a lesson in Moyun Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuanyang pondered for a moment and then said, "If the pursuit team gets any news about Ling Feng, I will inform you, and then you can go with them."
"I understand, Uncle Murong. Thank you for your care," Bai Ke said, bowing with his hands clasped in thanks.
"Go back now. You can't slack off on your cultivation. Don't let me down." Murong Yuanyang patted Bai Ke on the back and said, then got up to leave.
After saying "Nephew takes his leave," Bai Ke turned and flew towards the Cliff of Holding Precepts.
By the time Bai Ke returned to Chijie Cliff, the sun was already rising in the east, and it was just beginning to get light.
Su Ziyuan should be resting in her room right now... Bai Ke was too embarrassed to do anything bad again.
After all the running around today, I was a bit tired, so I quietly returned to my room, lay down on the bed, and immersed myself in the system space.
Bai Ke first checked the rewards he received for completing today's tasks: 5000 Evil Points, one chance to draw a prize, and the "Soul Splitting Technique".
Including the system rewards for gaining Su Ziyuan's favor and disrupting Tianming's protagonist opportunities, and subtracting the cost of exchanging for the Void Soul Divine Herb Illustrated Book, Bai Ke now has a total of 6900 Evil Points.
There's nothing useful to exchange for right now, and high-level items often require millions of evil points, so Bai Ke decided to use his evil points to upgrade the system.
"System, I've decided to upgrade now."
"Ding! Request received from host. 5000 evil points have been deducted. The upgrade is expected to take one day. The chat program is temporarily closed. Please take note!"
After listening, Bai Ke let the system upgrade on its own. He then immersed his mind in the martial arts arena, loading the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art he had purchased at an exorbitant price—the name certainly sounded incredibly powerful.
After the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art was fully loaded, a transparent phantom appeared in the Martial Arts Hall, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the flow of its meridians could be clearly seen.
Bai Ke watched the phantom's every move with rapt attention. He saw the phantom circulating its spiritual energy through its meridians in accordance with the incantation of the cultivation technique.
He suddenly stood up and performed this set of strange movements at an extremely slow speed.
The reason these movements are considered bizarre is because the afterimage strikes all sorts of strange poses, sometimes doing a handstand with its hands on the ground, sometimes lying on its side...
Bai Ke silently memorized every movement of the phantom, imagining himself performing those movements.
Suddenly, the phantom straightened up and stretched out its left hand as if grasping something. With a loud "boom," a burst of intense blood-red light erupted from the phantom's left hand, and the murderous aura contained within it made Bai Ke's heart tremble.
Bai Ke clicked his tongue in amazement. The first level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art was already so powerful; it was simply too terrifying.
I just don't understand what the so-called "thousands of hammerings and refinements" in the first level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art means.
After completing the practice of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Skill, Bai Ke then loaded the "Soul Splitting Technique" he had received as a reward into the Martial Arts Hall.
A line of text appeared on the screen of the martial arts hall: "The path of splitting the soul involves seizing the creation of heaven and earth. To avoid punishment from the heavens, one must cultivate with the aid of the illusory soul herb in order to evade divine retribution."
Bai Ke suddenly realized that the system had already thought of everything for him. Knowing that he didn't understand the effects of the Void Soul Divine Grass, it rewarded him with a matching cultivation technique. He suddenly felt that the system wasn't so bad after all.
As the words in the martial arts hall slowly faded, the familiar phantom reappeared. It was seen that the phantom had completed a full cycle of the incantation for the martial arts technique, and an identical phantom then appeared beside it.
However, compared to the first one, the later phantom was more transparent. It was seen that the later phantom was performing the same incantation that the first phantom had performed, exactly the same, without any difference.
Bai Huang suddenly realized that the function of the "Soul Splitting Technique" was to condense an additional illusory soul, which was equivalent to having a substitute for cultivation, thus doubling the cultivation speed.
He sighed that this was a worthwhile investment, and then focused his attention on the mission hall.
Previously, Bai Ke didn't care much about missions, but now that he understands the importance of evil points, he plans to focus on completing missions from now on.
The quest hall has three types of quests: main quests that must be completed, optional title quests, and daily quests.
The main quests offer generous rewards, but they are either very difficult or take a long time to complete.
The only reward for the title quest is the title itself. Bai Ke hasn't obtained the title yet, so he doesn't know what benefits it will bring him.
Daily tasks offer minimal rewards but are relatively easy to complete. Of course, this excludes bizarre tasks that require you to run around naked (i.e., complete a task without any equipment or equipment).
After thinking it over, Bai Ke began to carefully review the tasks...
