Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 439 - 438 Evolution and Father-Son
Regarding which star point to enhance with the azure fate, Zhou Bai had already thoroughly considered it.
He dismissed enhancing his physical body, rejected utilizing it for petty gains, and ruled out improving his talents; manipulating fate and focusing on distortion were in his plans.
It could be said that Zhou Bai's current star charts in the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man were all biased towards survival, growth, and control, with the strongest attack still being the Tianhe Star Explosion technique he had learned himself.
Now having reviewed each star point and compared them meticulously, Zhou Bai felt that what he needed most was the ability to accelerate his development.
He needed to become stronger at a faster rate in order to cope with the increasingly difficult situations that might come his way.
Thus, he chose poverty, which not only could speed up his development but also had a certain combat power—especially useful for controlling opponents and attracting firepower.
Poverty: Lend when asked; there is no choice but to lend. Note: Borrowing money with dignity is not shameful.
Accompanied by a surge of azure light into the star point representing poverty, an indescribable change emanated from the star point, and a moment later, it spread throughout Zhou Bai's entire body.
Poverty's correctional abilities enhanced...
Poverty's persuasive power enhanced...
Poverty's borrowing limit enhanced...
With the intense changes at the star point, Zhou Bai immediately felt the evolution of poverty, and all aspects were enhanced.
Now, if he were to borrow again, just the daily maximum he could borrow had increased by about a factor of two. He still needed to test and explore how much his persuasive and correctional abilities had improved.
"Very good, very good," Zhou Bai, feeling the empowerment of poverty, showed a satisfied smile, "Although it did not trigger a qualitative change, since all the foundational abilities are enhanced, I can collect lazy energy values at a faster rate.
During fights, the might of poverty is also stronger."
After enhancing the star point, Zhou Bai sat cross-legged on the ground and began to refine the Dharma Saint Relics to increase the power of his Primordial Spirit, as he had just added more than a hundred to his intrinsic potential. It was the perfect time to cultivate and digest this potential.
On the other side, Christina also lay on the ground, sincerely beginning her meditation on the Primordial Dao Collection 04 to enhance her conversion degree.
More than two hours later, outside the closed training room, Ying Hui's voice could be heard: "Zhou Bai, are you there? I've brought people to see you."
"Zhou Bai! Zhou Bai!" A girl's voice called out, "Open the door! Open the door!"
Zhou Bai opened his eyes, his eyes lighting up upon hearing the sound: "Is this..."
The next moment, with a sweep of his Primordial Spirit, he had opened the door, a figure swished in and threw herself into his arms, rubbing her face vigorously against Zhou Bai's.
"Zhou Bai! Zhou Bai! It's me! I missed you so much!" Elsa clung to Zhou Bai's neck, her face rubbing against his, a display of affection that made Christina visibly displeased.
"Silly dog!" Christina telepathically scolded, "Watch your actions, saliva is drooling out, it's disgusting."
Elsa quickly closed her mouth, backing away while wiping the drool, giggling, "Beibei sister said this is too strong a natural reaction. Once I increase my conversion degree a bit more, I won't drool uncontrollably."
Zhou Bai smiled and stroked Elsa's head and ears, turning to Ying Hui and asked, "Teacher, why did you bring Elsa here?"
Ying Hui replied, "It's because Primordial Dao Collection 04 is with you, and since Elsa needs to cultivate anyway, I simply let her come over. Speaking of which, haven't you figured out anything about Primordial Dao Collection 04 yet?"
Because Zhou Bai had already mastered Primordial Dao Collection 04, yet let Christina continue to meditate on it, his excuse to Ying Hui was that he needed to contemplate the clues left on Primordial Dao Collection 04 to locate the next Primordial Dao Collection 05.
After hearing this, Zhou Bai responded, "I found the coordinates, here you go. However, it seems there are still some messages on Primordial Dao Collection 04, I need to meditate on these a bit more." He was allowing Christina to continue her meditation on Primordial Dao Collection 04 to enhance her conversion degree.
At the same time, he thought to himself: 'The distortion of Heavenly Dao is intensifying, and the state of the Primordial Dao Collection is probably worsening continuously. This time, I might need to personally retrieve the Primordial Dao Collection.'
Just after Zhou Bai had finished explaining the coordinates, Ying Hui's expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "Wanxian Island is planning to convene another discussion in Daluo Heaven."
Zhou Bai looked puzzled. "Debating in Daluo Heaven? What's that?"
Christina exclaimed, "A Debate in Daluo Heaven? It's been so long since they last held one."
Elsa looked at everyone eagerly, having no idea what they were talking about.
Ying Hui briefly introduced the history of the discussions in Daluo Heaven and continued, "In the past, it was the ultimate battlefield for young cultivators, the highest honor. Even though it hasn't been held for over a hundred years, its authority still weighs heavily in the hearts of the cultivators from the Four Great Taoist Schools."
"Moreover, the critical point is that this time, Wanxian Island is making the debate a grand affair, likely turning it into a major event for all humankind and the Heavenly Court."
Zhou Bai curiously asked, "How big?"
Ying Hui slowly said, "The four main gods and the scattered immortals of Wanxian Island will all watch the contest. Even the leader of all immortals, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, will personally attend to distribute the awards to the top ten competitors.
Just these significant names alone are enough to establish the authority of this debate. Moreover, the top 50 competitors will receive joint training from Wanxian Island and the Four Great Taoist Schools, gaining double the resources from both. They are indeed the chosen pride of the Heavenly Court and human government."
Zhou Bai said, "Wanxian Island's immortals, are they trying to make their own disciples come in first? To intervene in human affairs and establish authority?"
"It's also about competing for destiny. A debate that all of humanity focuses on, and one that the Heavenly Court personally commends. The title of being first is no small matter." Ying Hui took a deep breath, "They want to have all the globally recognized promising young talents under their wing."
Zhou Bai said, "Do we have to participate? What if all Four Great Sects decide not to participate…"
Ying Hui shook his head, "One of the rewards for the first place is the Human Emperor Sword."
Zhou Bai knew nothing about the Human Emperor Sword, but Christina let out a cry of astonishment in his mind.
Christina: "The Human Emperor Sword? How could that thing still exist? Wasn't it destroyed by the demons long ago?"
Under the explanation of Christina and Ying Hui, Zhou Bai gradually understood the significance of the Human Emperor Sword.
"The Human Emperor Sword… It has such a big reputation?" Zhou Bai said, "It looks like I definitely have to take first place this time."
"Then I need to carefully plan my training itinerary moving forward."
…
Heavenly Court, Plague Department.
An old man looking frail and grey-haired sat in a chair, his eyes shimmering coldly with murderous intent.
"Li Xiuzhu... I remember that punch."
"And Christina… you clingy creature."
The white-haired old man was Yan Zhen, the chief god of the Plague Department; he was recalling how he manipulated his split incarnation to arrive and was killed, recalling it second by second, pondering the gains and losses.
Just then, a cleric came to report that his son, Yan Shan, was looking for him.
Yan Shan ran up to Yan Zhen and said, "Dad! I've run out of points, transfer some to me!"
Yan Zhen frowned and said, "I give you so many points and pills every month, how could you run out? Where did you spend them?"
Yan Shan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "I found a good way to make a fortune in West Mountain City this time; I've invested all my Ice Heart Pills. Do you want to invest some too?"
