CHAPTER 553: TRANSCENDENT MASTERY’S COST

In this world, Cultivators’ battle prowess depends on many things, like Cultivation Talent, Bloodline, Special Skills, and Cultivation Techniques.

Awakening Cultivation Talent, Bloodline, and Special Skills depend on luck, and through extremely hard work and a bit of luck, they could awaken them.

However, Cultivation Techniques are the only thing that is relatively much easier and more accessible for all cultivators.

As long as one trains properly, they can increase the mastery of their cultivation techniques and become powerful enough to change their fate.

So, despite having Bloodlines, Special Talents, and Special Skills, Ethan never thought of abandoning his cultivation techniques.

Thus, after learning that he could now upgrade the cultivation techniques beyond the Perfection Stage, Ethan didn’t hesitate to check the cost to upgrade them.

Of course, Ethan wanted to check the cost for the regular cultivation techniques before checking the Heavenly Techniques.

[Godly Cultivation Insight]

[The cost to upgrade Flourishing Spirit Rain Technique from Perfection to Transcendent Stage is:]

[1) 1 unit of God Essence]

[2) 1 Billion Life Points]

[3) Heavenly Rain Crystal]

[Note: The host can’t use the God Essence yet. Please unlock the first effect of the [God’s Proxy] to use the God Essence]

[The cost to upgrade Blazing Sun Palm Technique from Perfection to Transcendent Stage is:]

[1) 1 unit of God Essence]

[2) 1 Billion Life Points]

[3) Heavenly Sun Crystal]

[The cost to upgrade Green Pulse Technique from Perfection to Transcendent Stage is:]

[1) 5 units of God Essence]

[2) 5 Billion Life Points]

[3) Heavenly Plant Crystal]

...

"T-this...."

Looking at the cost for the cultivation techniques, Ethan was thoroughly shocked.

He knew the cost for upgrading the Cultivation Techniques could be as high as 1 billion Life Points; however, he didn’t expect that billion Life Points were just one of the requirements.

Moreover, the other two requirements looked much more costly than spending Life Points.

Even though Ethan still didn’t know the exact use of the God Essence, he knew it was extremely valuable... more valuable than 10 Billion Life Points.

Also, he was supposed to save an additional 80 units of God Essence to fulfil the first requirement under the [God’s Proxy].

’As long as I can accumulate 100 units of God Essence, the first effect of the [God’s Proxy] will be unlocked, and I am now sure that effect would let me use the God Essence.’

Even though he had 20 units of God Essence, Ethan still couldn’t use it for some unknown reason.

But, after seeing the note in the earlier system notifications along with the information he had on the [God’s Proxy], he came to the conclusion regarding the first effect of the [God’s Proxy].

’As for the Heavenly Rain Crystal, Heavenly Plant Crystal.....they must be Heavenly Items and very hard to find.’

Ethan sighed only for a moment before shaking off those unnecessary thoughts. ’Since it is this costly to upgrade the cultivation techniques, just how powerful will these cultivation techniques become when their mastery reaches the Transcendent Stage?’

When this thought came to his mind, Ethan no longer thought about the cost and decided to work on it along with his other missions.

With the change in his mood, Ethan received a series of system notifications, and after reading them, he became even more excited.

[Detected that the host has the Special Talent: Comprehension Grandmaster]

[The Energy Cost for the active Godly Cultivation Insight for the cultivation techniques will be reduced by half]

[The revised cost to upgrade Flourishing Spirit Rain Technique from Perfection to Transcendent Stage is:]

[1) 0.5 units of God Essence]

[2) 500 Million Life Points]

[3) Heavenly Rain Crystal]

.

.

.

.

[The revised cost to upgrade Green Pulse Technique from Perfection to Transcendent Stage is:]

[1) 2.5 units of God Essence]

[2) 2.5 Billion Life Points]

[3) Heavenly Plant Crystal]

’It’s good news...just by having a Special Talent, I saved so much.’

Ethan was happy to see that he was getting a 50 percent discount and celebrated.

’Now, let’s see how much it will cost me to upgrade my Heavenly Technique.’

Once he sorted out his thoughts regarding the Regular Cultivation Techniques, Ethan focused on checking the cost for his one and only Heavenly Technique: Heavenly Spirit Essence Refining Technique.

[The cost to upgrade Heavenly Spirit Essence Refining Technique from Completion Stage to Great Success Stage is:]

[1) 1 unit of God Essence] → 0.5 units of God Essence

[2) 1 Billion Life Points] → 0.5 Billion Life Points

’Other regular cultivation techniques require God Essence after reaching Perfection Stage, whereas the Heavenly Technique...it requires God Essence from the Completion Stage to upgrade.’

Currently, Ethan was enjoying the effects of the Perfection Stage Heavenly Spirit Essence Refining Technique thanks to his Special Talent: Comprehension Grandmaster, which increased the mastery of all his cultivation techniques by two stages.

However, in reality, his Heavenly Technique had only reached a mastery of Completion Stage.

Therefore, when he tried to check the Mastery Upgrade Cost of the Heavenly Technique, it showed the Mastery Upgrade from Completion Stage to Great Success Stage.

But still, Ethan was not at all surprised by the cost to upgrade the Heavenly Technique; instead, he was happy that there were only two requirements instead of three.

’However, I am not in a hurry to upgrade this Heavenly Technique anytime soon.’

With his Special Talent, the maximum mastery of his cultivation techniques would reach only the Perfection Stage.

Even if he upgraded this Heavenly Technique, there would obviously be no changes in his absorption speed.

Moreover, comparing the cost to upgrade the regular cultivation techniques to the Transcendent Stage, Ethan knew it would be extremely difficult for him to upgrade the Heavenly Technique to the Transcendent Stage.

’For now, let’s focus on earning Life Points, God Essence and those Heavenly Items.’

With that thought in mind, Ethan moved on to the last two changes in the system, which lit up his eyes.

[The Second System Feature: Lifespan Shop has been upgraded]

[The Third System Feature: Godly Son Creation has been upgraded]
