Chapter 126 - 7,000x Multiplier, Heaven Defying New System Function

[ Ding! A large quantity of Spiritual Stones is about to be consumed during the System Upgrade Process ]

[ Does the Host wish to display the current Spiritual Stone balance? ]

[ Yes ] [ No ]

Yu Liang immediately selected No.

There was no point checking.

Whatever number was in there was going to disappear anyway.

[ Ding! The Host has consumed all stored Spiritual Stones ]

[ Multiplier Triggered: 7,000x ]

[ Ding! System Upgrade Process Detected ]

[ Special Condition has been activated ]

[ The Host may select one of the following options ]

[ Option One: Receive the Cashback Rewards at the current 7,000x multiplier ]

[ Option Two: Convert the entire Cashback Rewards into System Upgrade Energy. It will greatly increase the quality and potential of the Newly Unlocked System Function ]

Yu Liang’s breathing suddenly stopped. His eyes widened as he stared at the notification.

7,000x???!!!!!

This was the first time he had ever seen the multiplier reach such a terrifying number. ’Wait.... So even if system uses spiritual stones it will trigger cashback function??!!!’

Yu Liang’s heart began pounding. ’Th-This is too good.’

Seven thousand times.

He had already become unimaginably wealthy through the system’s previous multipliers. Even without knowing his exact balance, he could roughly imagine how enormous the resulting amount would be.

If all those Spiritual Stones were converted into wealth... He could probably buy the entire Cloudwater Sect.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

For a brief moment, even Yu Liang found it difficult to remain calm but he forcefully managed to calm himself down.

His gaze returned to the second option.

The system was offering him a choice between obtaining an enormous amount of wealth right now or using that same wealth to strengthen the function that was about to be unlocked.

There was hardly anything to think about.

Spiritual Stones?

He had never lacked them.

The rebate function had already made earning resources ridiculously easy for him. Even if he spent everything today, he could simply earn it back later.

But a stronger system function was something entirely different, It could change everything that came afterward.

Yu Liang took a deep breath and once again calmed himself. ’What’s there to think about?’

His eyes flashed with anticipation. ’Of course I’m choosing the upgrade.’

He selected the second option.

[ Ding! Option Two selected ]

[ 7,000x Cashback Reward will be converted into System Upgrade Energy ]

[ Calculating Upgrade Energy... ]

[ Upgrade Energy acquisition in progress.... ]

[ System Upgrade has begun. ]

[ Ding! System Upgrading... 1% ]

[ 10%... ]

[ 35%... ]

[ 68%... ]

[ 99%... ]

[ Ding! System Upgrade Completed ]

Instantly a translucent, pale blue screen materialized in front of his vision.

[ Ultimate Cashback System ]

Host: Yu Liang

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Realm Early Stage

Lifespan: 120 years

Physique: Iron Marrow Body

Bloodline: None

Comprehension: Mortal

Spiritual Roots: Low Grade Water Spiritual Roots

MovementTechnique: Misty Steps — Perfection, Heavenly Star Shifting Flash — Perfection.

CombatTechnique: Flowing Water Technique: Ripple, Stream and Waterfall — Perfection

Body RefinementTechnique: Iron Marrow Refinement — Perfection, Five Elements Body Refinement Technique – Perfection, Indestructible Body — Perfection

Looking at his status panel, Yu Liang nodded in satisfaction. His lifespan had increased considerably after breaking through, which was only natural for a cultivator who had stepped into a higher realm. At least he no longer had to worry about his lifespan anytime soon.

As for his physique, it was still only Low Grade Mortal Physique, something he had obtained through his Body Refinement Method. It wasn’t particularly impressive compared to the powerful physiques possessed by some geniuses, but Yu Liang wasn’t in a hurry.

His gaze then moved toward the entries for Bloodline and Comprehension.

Both remained unchanged.

Yu Liang’s expression became slightly awkward. ’As for those two... ahem.’

He quickly looked away. ’I’ll get them somehow.’

With the system around, he didn’t believe there was anything he couldn’t obtain eventually.

[ Ding! Congratulations Host, New Function Unlocked: System Store ]

Yu Liang froze as his face filled with confusion.

"A store?" he muttered to himself, rubbing his chin. "What could be in this store? Doesn’t stores are also present here?"

He was genuinely puzzled. In the cultivation world, there were already pill pavilions, weapon shops, and treasure pavilions in every sect and city. What kind of store could the system possibly open that would be any different?

But then, he quickly shook his head and rationalized his thoughts. The system’s very first function, Cashback from 2x all the way up to a staggering 10,000x whenever he spent was already extraordinarily heaven defying. It had allowed him to amass a fortune that rivaled small sects just by buying things for himself or even others. If the initial function was this monstrous, then this newly unlocked ’System Store’ function surely had to be on a completely different level.

With a surge of anticipation, Yu Liang mentally commanded, "Open the store."

The blue screen rippled and expanded, transforming into a massive, grand interface. At the top, there several main categories were displayed.

[ Pills ]

[ Techniques ]

[ Artifacts ]

[ Physique ]

[ Bloodlines ]

[ Miscellaneous ]

Yu Liang clicked on the [ Pills ] category first.

Instantly, a long list of items cascaded down the screen, arranged strictly from the highest tier to the lowest.

[ Tier 9: Nine Revolutions Divine Soul Pill ]

....

[ Tier 8: Eight Trigrams Rebirth Pill ]

...

[Tier 7: Seven Star Life Extending Pill]

....

[Tier 6: Six Veins Spirit Restoration Pill]

.....

[ Tier 5: Rejuvenation Marrow Pill ]

....

[ Tier 4: Meridian Restoration Pill ]

.....

[ Tier 3: Spirit Recovery Pill ]

....

[ Tier 2: Foundation Stabilizing Pill ]

.....

[ Tier 1: Qi Condensation Pill ]

Yu Liang’s eyes swept over the list. He recognized the Tier 1 to Tier 5 items perfectly; they were the standard treasures of the cultivation world. But as his gaze moved up to Tier 6 and beyond, his expression changed.

The pills from Tier 6 to Tier 9 were completely beyond Yu Liang’s current level. He had never come into contact with anything of that grade before, nor had he heard detailed information about them. Even with his knowledge of the cultivation world, there was simply nothing in his mind that could tell him exactly what those pills were capable of.

A small question suddenly surfaced in Yu Liang’s mind. The pills he had purchased from Meihua’s store were already considered extremely precious, yet none of them even appeared among the highest ranked pills listed by the system.

Then just how rare were these system pills?

Yu Liang’s expression became slightly strange. If even the treasures he had once considered incredibly valuable were nowhere near the top of the list, he could hardly imagine what kind of existence these pills are actually.

He then quickly checked the [ Techniques ] and [Artifacts ] categories. The result was exactly the same. He could clearly see the Tier 1 to Tier 5 techniques, but anything above Tier 5 was entirely blank in his area of knowledge. His current realm and field of vision were simply too low to comprehend existence of such supreme items.

Swallowing hard, Yu Liang’s gaze shifted to the very first item at the top of the [ Techniques ] category. The name was there and the system allowed him to click on the ’Introduction’ button for the not only the Top Tier slot but for everything.

His finger trembled slightly as he pressed it.

A text box slowly expanded in his vision, revealing the introduction of the Tier 9 Technique.

[ Tier 9: Primordial Chaos Art ]

[ Introduction: Forged from the primordial chaos before the universe was opened. This technique does not absorb spiritual energy, it devours the laws of the heavens and remakes the world. The cultivator can create a universe with a single thought and destroy a universe with a single thought. It transcends the Five Elements, steps outside the Three Realms and is completely immune to the River of Time. Once cultivated, they becomes eternal, indestructible, and omnipotent ]

Reading the first line, Yu Liang’s breath hitched.

By the second line, his heart was pounding violently against his ribs.

By the time he finished reading the entire introduction, his mind went completely, utterly blank.

The cultivation world he knew, where Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul were considered the peak of existence, suddenly felt like a tiny, insignificant speck of dust in the vast ocean. To create a universe with a single thought? To be immune to the River of Time?

This wasn’t just powerful. This was a concept that shattered every fundamental law of cultivation he had ever known.

Yu Liang sat frozen on his meditation mat, his eyes wide and unblinking, staring at the glowing text. His consciousness was completely overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what he was looking at.

Finally, a frantic, ecstatic, and utterly shocked expression exploded in his mind, repeating over and over again like a broken chant.

’Heaven-defying... this is simply too heaven defying!’

’Heaven defying! Heaven defying! Heaven defying!’
