Chapter 32: Chapter 32 - Perfection of the Celestial Sword Technique
Because of the Five Elements Holy Domain, Song Yang practically doesn't face any bottlenecks in his cultivation until he reaches the Great Saint. So it's clear that this pill won't have much effect on him.
"But that pill isn't a complete waste."
"If I give it to Shi Hu, I can have my first subordinate with Saint King cultivation."
Thinking about it, Song Yang couldn't help but feel a little happy. If Shi Hu advances to Saint King, Shura Palace will finally have a Saint King.
The Saint King is the existence that determines whether a force is second class or first class!
Of course, after Song Yang reached the Holy Realm, although he still doesn't know how strong a Saint King is, relying on the aura improvement due to the Supreme Devouring Sutra and the Five Elements Holy Domain, he is confident that his strength is not inferior to that of a Saint King.
But as Palace Master, it wouldn't do to have to deal with problems personally. After all, what good would all those subordinates be then?
With this in mind, he released his divine consciousness and checked whether Shi Hu had already returned to Shura Palace.
Shi Hu, who had already returned to Shura Palace and swapped positions with Yan Long to guard the main hall, suddenly heard a divine thought: "Shi Hu, come in."
Recognizing that it was Song Yang's voice, Shi Hu didn't hesitate and disappeared into the room.
Seeing Shi Hu appear in front of him, Song Yang didn't talk nonsense and immediately threw him the pill, saying lightly: "Go and break through to the Saint King.."
"Yes, Palace Master," replied Shi Hu, looking at the pill in his hand ecstatically. He felt a terrifying energy in that pill; if he took it, he would certainly advance towards the Saint King.
However, he didn't start fawning all over Song Yang for this gift, because in his heart he was 100% loyal. His ecstasy was only due to the fact that, if his strength improved, he would be better able to carry out Song Yang's orders.
If Song Yang ordered him to destroy his cultivation and hand over his sacred origin now, Shi Hu wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
Waving his hand for Shi Hu to leave, Song Yang turned his attention to the system and said softly, "System, open another epic-level mystery box."
[Ding! Spending 100,000 reputation points to acquire a draw for an epic mystery box...]
[Ding! Opening the epic-level mystery box...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mystery box and obtaining the best epic reward: Scarlet Demon Cloak].
"Best epic reward!" Song Yang exclaimed ecstatically as he looked at the cloak that appeared in his hands.
The cloak in his hands displayed a deep red color that emanated a sinister aura, adorned with golden stripes that shone brightly. This cloak looked extremely exquisite.
"Good, good, worthy of my identity as Master of the Shura Palace," murmured Song Yang as he put it on.
It was only when Song Yang had finally put on the cloak that he spoke to the system: "System, show the description of this cloak."
[Scarlet Demon Cloak: High-grade Sacred Artifact, capable of withstanding any attack below the level of a 5-Star Great Saint and with the function of concealing the wearer's identity].
"I'm invincible in the eastern region," Song Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this information. According to what he remembered from his original memory, there was no Great Saint in the entire eastern region.
With this cloak that can protect against all attacks lower than the 5-Star Great Saint, in other words, no one in the eastern region can hurt a strand of Song Yang's hair right now.
After calming down, Song Yang looked at the remaining reputation points and said, "System, open the last epic mystery box."
[Ding! Spending 100,000 reputation points to acquire a draw for an epic mystery box...]
[Ding! Opening the epic level mystery box...]
"Please let it be something that increases my combat power," Song Yang cheered silently as he watched the mysterious box being opened.
Although all the rewards he had obtained so far weren't bad, none of them had helped him improve his personal power, at most they had increased his ability to protect himself.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mysterious box and obtaining the ultimate epic reward: Perfect Proficiency Card].
"Finally something to increase my strength," Song Yang said with a smile. He already knew how the Proficiency Card worked.
When he was about to complete his first mission, Song Yang got two Proficiency Upgrade Cards from a rare mystery box and raised his Sea Destroyer Fist to the mastery stage.
Now that he has obtained a perfect proficiency card in an epic mystery box, it is certainly more valuable compared to what he obtained previously.
[Perfect Proficiency Card: After using it, you can raise the proficiency stage of the user's skill to perfection for any skill below imperial level].
[For which skill does the host wish to use the Perfect Proficiency Card?]
"Heavenly Sword Technique," Song Yang spoke without hesitation.
This is a high-grade sacred skill, so of course Song Yang chose it. If not that, would he choose the Sea Destroying Fist, which is only a celestial-level skill?
As soon as the words were spoken, Song Yang suddenly felt in a trance, as if he had transcended into another dimension.
In this new reality, Song Yang observed an avatar similar to himself practicing the Heavenly Sword Technique incessantly, in an infinite void.
Time passed quickly: hours turned into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, months into years, and years into decades.
Even immersed in this ethereal vacuum, Song Yang's avatar persisted in practicing the sword tirelessly. Then, one day, he felt a deep illumination, and a sword cut through the void, shattering that dimension and bringing him back to reality.
"The Heavenly Sword Technique is perfect!"
