I Cheated While Cultivating

Chapter 310: Chapter 30: Let Me Show You a Treasure

“The God Soul Star Gate can descend into the world just like ordinary star gates, but it’s not the true body that descends, instead, the divine soul descends and possesses a body in another world. As for the specific rules of possessing a body upon descending,”

“First, it can only possess a corpse equivalent to the Lower Third Rank, hmm, not limited to human corpses, as long as it’s not a living thing, it’s possible.

“Second, there are different types of soul embodiment upon descending—random descent, racial descent, group descent, and individual descent. Each way of descending corresponds to a different amount of good deed consumption.

“Random descent, as the name implies, means randomly descending into a corpse. As for what race, gender, or status one possesses after descending, it is unknown. This type of descent does not require the consumption of good deeds.

“Racial descent allows one to choose a race before descending, be it human or animal, and you can also specify the ethnicity and species of animals and confirm the gender. This requires the consumption of 100 good deeds.

“Group descent means that after selecting a specific race, one can further refine to a particular group within that race, such as the wealthy or the poor, or royalty, nobility, and sect disciples; these can all be selected. This requires the consumption of 500 good deeds.

“Individual descent is easy to understand, it means that one can target a specific corpse’s identity and precisely embody that corpse. This one’s a bit more expensive and requires the consumption of 1,000 good deeds.”

Zhou Heng expounded the rules of the God Soul Star Gate eloquently, and everyone listened with joy, but the subsequent good deed consumption also made their hearts quiver.

The most precise individual descent actually requires the consumption of 1,000 good deeds!

Who could afford that?

It seemed that only racial descent was a bit more affordable, with 100 good deeds still being manageable.

Well, if one is rich or the task rewards are generous, one could also consider trying group descent.

As for individual descent, forget it, it’s really too expensive.

This was a true reflection of the thoughts of many within the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer.

Many people were also calmly considering how much benefit the God Soul Star Gate could bring them.

Of course, those worried about consuming good deeds were mostly from the Secret Six Rank and a few from the Sect Fifth Rank.

The powerful members of the Sect Fifth Rank and the Absolute Fourth Rank, their divine souls were already extremely strong, and they had enough thoughts to use random descent to cast a wide net, which didn’t have much impact.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In fact, Zhou Heng hadn’t mentioned one thing, which wasn’t easy to explain—that he could take a 70% commission on any good deeds consumed through the God Soul Star Gate.

A seasoned leek farmer, indeed.

Azure Dragon listened to Zhou Heng’s explanation and was also very pleased, smiling and saying, “With this God Soul Star Gate, from now on, it will be much more convenient for everyone to travel to other worlds to complete tasks or eliminate evil creatures.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

What followed was the time for the exchange of good deeds and items.

Zhou Heng didn’t have any particular needs, so he just strolled around casually.

He also noticed that Siming seemed a bit preoccupied and was wandering aimlessly.

Could it be because of hearing about Yuan Zhenzi’s affairs and being shocked at heart?

If that were the case, Chen Yingyu’s mental fortitude is rather weak, to be so easily unsettled today.

This made Zhou Heng frown slightly.

He was very grateful for having received the three Martial Arts heritages from the Zhi Xu sect and truly wanted to revive and glorify the sect once again.

Moreover, if there could be another top sect in the world with more powerful people, it would be beneficial against the Evil Gods, Ghost Immortals, and Demon Gods.

But reviving a sect is not as simple as returning the lost heritage to them and expecting them to rise up again.

If the sect leader is incompetent, it’s possible that the newly recovered heritage could be lost again.

Chen Yingyu… Can he really glorify this heritage? Is he truly worthy of receiving the complete heritage of the Zhi Xu sect?

Even if she was indeed the current leader of the True Void Sect.

“I hope it’s just me overthinking,” Zhou Heng said, shaking his head slightly.

He did have some expectations for Chen Yingyu.

After all, she was someone who could carry the True Void Sect on her own and take on the role of the leader; she shouldn’t be particularly incompetent and was likely to have some potential.

“I’ll look for a chance to observe her more in the future,” Zhou Heng thought to himself.

Then, he went to meet with his house’s representative, saying that he might go to see her to craft a magic weapon in a while.

An imitation of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!

Previously, when he opened the Fortune Bag, he had obtained a Fifth Rank Spiritual Material known as “Heavenly Fire Fierce Sun Iron,” which was perfect for crafting, though he still needed some additional auxiliary materials.

Those would need to be collected.

If he could succeed in crafting an imitation of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover as his magic weapon, Zhou Heng even felt confident that he could fight a general Sect Fifth Rank.

Of course, it would only be a fight, and to fight and win would likely have to wait until he had refined True Gang.

…

This time, the meeting concluded, and many members of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officers dispersed one after another.

Zhou Heng was about to leave when he was stopped by The Supreme.

He was a bit puzzled, “Senior, what can I do for you?”

“Master of the Stars, Azure Dragon left in a hurry and didn’t have time to speak with you,” said The Supreme solemnly, “Be careful of that trace of the Evil God’s Power that Lord Tianyi is resisting.”

“What?!” Zhou Heng said in astonishment. “That trace of power from the Evil God’s arrival is targeting me? Because of my identity as the Ziwei Master?”

“No,” The Supreme shook his head gently, “It’s because that trace of power from the Evil God’s arrival uses Yuan Zhenzi’s Celestial Man Primordial Spirit as a spiritual guide. If it can obtain more of Yuan Zhenzi’s power, it would then bring forth even more power effortlessly.”

“Ah, I see,” Zhou Heng nodded in understanding, he had grasped Azure Dragon’s implication.

At that time in the Zhongzhou Imperial City upheaval, using the power of Ziwei Star Palace, he had burst out from Yuan Zhenzi’s Cave Sky, repelled the Eastern Great Mountain Emperor, an Evil God, and also forcibly suppressed and refined Yuan Zhenzi’s Cave Sky to carry with him.

That Cave Sky might very well attract the covetous gaze of the Evil God.

“Master of the Stars, please be extremely careful.”

The Supreme said earnestly, having seen world-shaking changes occur in the Ziwei Palace world and opening a new Divine Soul Star Gate, he grew even more careful around Zhou Heng.

This Master of the Stars might truly be the light of hope.

…

Zhou Heng was not one to overestimate his abilities, nor did he believe he had the means to resist the force of the Evil God infiltrating this world.

Even if it was just a sliver of power.

He usually acted brashly, as he always had a trump card to fall back on, but now… it was time to admit weakness when necessary, as that was the path to longevity.

Therefore, after leaving the Purple Tenuity Palace, Zhou Heng directly used the Starlight Bridge to travel to Yong State’s Taihua Mount, ascended the Jade Void Peak to its Golden Top, and found Yan Shouyi.

“Junior brother arrives in haste; it seems you’ve encountered trouble again?” Yan Shouyi said with a smile, having grown quite familiar with his junior brother’s ways.

“Brother understands me.” Zhou Heng nodded, smiling back, “Let me show you a treasure.”
