Perhaps Dijiang truly believed him, or perhaps he was confident in the strength of the Wu Clan and wasn't afraid of him reneging on his debt. But whatever the reason, it didn't matter, because Yi Shuihan had no intention of defaulting on his debt.
The matter was settled in just a few words. The next step was to test the value of each item in the treasure vault and then store them in Yi Shuihan's storage ring.
The Wu tribe's treasure trove was truly vast; it took three days and three nights to move all the treasures away. Dijiang also obtained a bronze card with 532313 value points.
"As for the system, I currently have five on me. If you want to buy more, give me 10 years, and I will notify the bigwigs above to send the system to the Primordial Continent."
After all, he could only buy five items with 500 contribution points each, which is why he said he only had five. Of course, the last 10 years was an exaggeration. If he wanted to, he could exchange everything in the treasure vault for contribution points in just a few days.
"So he really isn't from the Primordial Era. A big shot? I wonder how this big shot he's talking about compares to Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"
Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Di Jiang's heart tightened. He could tell that Yi Shuihan wasn't lying; those powerful figures truly existed, which put considerable pressure on him.
The existence of powerful figures is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it makes Dijiang feel more at ease, since the presence of powerful figures reduces the likelihood of Yi Shuihan defaulting on his debts. On the other hand, the unknown strength of these powerful figures makes them, descendants of Pangu, instinctively feel threatened. If these powerful figures are interested in the prehistoric world, they really don't know if they can resist them.
Chapter 1031, A System That Can Cultivate Saints
"Currently, I have five systems that meet your requirements, but they can only allow their hosts to grow up to the Golden Immortal level at most. If you want something more advanced, I can bring it to you in 10 years. There are systems that can cultivate people to become Great Luo Golden Immortals, or even Quasi-Saints, and even more..."
Yi Shuihan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
"What else? Could there be an even more powerful system that can cultivate beings even stronger than Quasi-Saints?"
Houtu had been observing Yi Shuihan's expression, and at this moment she was the first to think of this. Although she found it unbelievable, she still asked with great anticipation.
In fact, the other Ancestral Witches were stunned when they heard that a system could cultivate quasi-saints, including Dijiang. Only Houtu managed to suppress her shock and asked the question.
"An existence even more powerful than a Quasi-Saint? Could it be a Saint?"
At this time, the Ancestral Witches did not know what a saint meant. Although Hongjun had become a saint and preached twice, the Ancestral Witches did not actually think that their witch clan would be afraid of a saint. The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was their trump card, which gave them great confidence.
"That's right, he is a saint. The most powerful system can cultivate saints, but you shouldn't even think about it."
"Why? Is it because you don't want to sell it to us?"
"No, how could business people not do business? It's just that you can't afford that kind of system."
"Can't afford it?"
"That's right, the lowest price for that system is a million value points."
Yi Shuihan wasn't lying. A system capable of cultivating a Gold 4-star system costs 50 contribution points internally. The value of this treasure trove of the Witch Clan is sufficient. It's just that the standard selling price is doubled.
The system cultivates talent regardless of aptitude. This is not contradictory to the previous statement that several hundred thousand can cultivate a few saints. The number of people with the aptitude to become saints is far less than the number of people who can be cultivated to become saints.
Furthermore, this system is said to cultivate people to Gold 4-star, but in reality, many people fail. Other systems in the company, even those that cultivate people to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, have a success rate of up to 80% as long as the system host is intelligent enough. However, this system that cultivates people to become saints has a success rate of only about 10%. Even so, there are still many people who do not have the necessary qualifications who want to buy this system.
Below the level of a sage, all are ants. The level of a sage and those below him are not even in the same category; they are completely different kinds of beings.
In the vast primordial world, only a few people have achieved sainthood, and apart from Hongjun, these saints all became saints through merit, which is a step weaker than those who became saints through their own abilities. In the primordial world, they have the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and their strength is still above the standard of sainthood. If they went to other worlds, they would probably only be able to barely maintain the sainthood level, making them the weakest kind of saint.
If those who aspire to a higher level were given the choice, they would probably rather buy their way into becoming a system and a saint than become a Heavenly Saint like the Three Pure Ones.
A Heavenly Saint's life is fixed, destined to be unable to transcend the Heavenly Dao. While the success rate of a Saint cultivated by the system is lower, regardless of their previous potential, they definitely have the potential to continue to advance after becoming a Saint. Even if the chance of becoming a Chaos Emperor or a Great Dao Emperor is low, they are still more popular than a Heavenly Saint.
The desire to become stronger is a common trait among all living beings. No matter how low the chance is, they generally won't give up this qualification unless they are in dire straits.
"One million? After the discount, it's 950,000, still more than 400,000 short."
Dijiang frowned, thinking that if he took out all the treasures of the Wu Clan, including those that were useful to them, he could probably gather them all. However, even so, he would only be able to exchange them for a new system, which he felt was not worth the loss.
"Could you tell us how many value points are required for the Golden Immortal, Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and Quasi-Saint level systems respectively?"
"Golden Immortal: 600-3000; Grand Luo Golden Immortal: 10000-30000; Quasi-Saint: 100000-300000. There are many types of systems, and their prices vary. According to your Wu Clan's requirements, if you want to purchase a system that allows you to cultivate to the Golden Immortal level, choose the one with 1000 points; for the Grand Luo Golden Immortal, choose the one with 13000 points; and for the Quasi-Saint, choose the one with 150000 points."
First, he mentioned the approximate price range, and then Yi Shuihan introduced the system he was recommending. He planned to sell the cultivation system to the Wu Clan. This system was quite famous and was divided into four configurations: low, medium, high, and top, corresponding to Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, and Saint.
This cultivation system has several modes to help the host improve. One mode is most suitable for the Wu Clan, which is to slay demons and monsters. After slaying monsters, you will receive some rewards. These rewards can be to directly improve your cultivation level or to be granted things like Taoist techniques and supernatural powers.
The second model involves reading Taoist scriptures or spreading Taoist teachings, and then issuing tasks based on these teachings, with rewards for completing the tasks.
The third mode is to do merit-making tasks. This method is not difficult in the prehistoric world. You can obtain merit even without a system. However, with a system, the task will directly tell you what to do to obtain merit. The strength of this mode is that it is used in worlds where the Heavenly Dao is not manifest. You should know that in some weak worlds, the world will may not give you merit even if you do something that can earn you merit, or may deliberately give you less. With a system, this kind of thing will naturally not happen.
The systems sold by the company are all good systems, and the penalties are not too severe. Unless you have a customized system, you won't encounter situations where the system is easily wiped out. Of course, some people like to buy systems with a wipeout mode in order to urge the system host and put pressure on them.
In fact, it has been proven that hosts with the elimination mode generally grow faster than hosts without the elimination mode.
“Leave all 5 Golden Immortal Systems on your body, and then we will reserve 2 systems that can cultivate Quasi-Saints, and 10 Great Luo Golden Immortal Systems, which should total 413250. This way, we will still have 119063 value points left.”
Dijiang thought for a moment and said
"sure?"
"Yes, confirmed."
"Alright, try out these five systems first. Next time I'll bring 10 Great Luo Golden Immortal level systems and 2 Quasi-Saint level systems to you. But let me make this clear, I won't return them. If you're not satisfied, I'll only return the remaining 119063 value points of treasures to you."
"no problem!"
Afterwards, Yi Shuihan handed over the five systems he had just exchanged to Dijiang, thus completing half of the transaction.
Chapter 1032, Introduction to the Three Lights Secret Technique
"Brother, are we really just going to let him go like this?"
The twelve Ancestral Witches personally escorted Yi Shuihan out of the Witch Clan. This honor was unprecedented in the entire prehistoric world. The Ancestral Witches were proud, and there were very few people they could simultaneously acknowledge. Yi Shuihan was only valued by these Ancestral Witches because of the system.
"What else do you want?"
Dijiang looked at Zhurong and asked a question in return.
"But......"
"Don't worry! If he doesn't come in 10 years, even if he leaves the prehistoric world, I will make him pay the price, even if it costs me my life."
Dijiang said decisively that he was the Ancestral Witch of Space Speed, and no one knew it except himself. Although he was not a saint, he could still attack across timelines. If he were to risk his life, he believed that it would not be a problem for him to perish together with Yi Shuihan.
Spacetime, spacetime, time and space are one. When the way of space reaches its limit, it can draw upon the power of time. This is the principle behind Dijiang's ability to attack across timelines, much like the Flash in the DC universe, whose speed is so fast that he can directly travel through spacetime.
Yi Shuihan had no idea what Di Jiang was planning. If he knew that Di Jiang wanted to use timeline attacks, he definitely wouldn't care. With the system protecting him, he wouldn't be afraid even if a true saint attacked him using timeline methods.
Dijiang's vision was ultimately too limited. If he had known the company's true background, he probably wouldn't have thought he could perish together with Yi Shuihan.
After leaving the Wu Clan, Yi Shuihan flew eastward for over a month until he arrived at the East Sea.
"Let's find a small island in the East China Sea to settle down in this prehistoric world. Maybe I'll get lucky and even stumble upon the Three Immortal Islands?"
The so-called Three Immortal Islands are Penglai, Dongying, and Fangzhang. The environment of these three islands is no worse than that of Kunlun, and they can be considered top-level training grounds in the prehistoric world.
As it turned out, Yi Shuihan's luck was a little bad, or rather, Heaven did not want Yi Shuihan to discover the Three Immortal Islands. After staying in the East Sea for several months, he had no gains and finally had to settle down on a relatively ordinary island.
Anyway, Yi Shuihan spent most of his time in his personal world, and he was only slightly disappointed that he didn't find the Three Immortal Islands.
"Next, I'll exchange the treasures that are useless to me for exchange points."
He emptied the Wu Clan's treasury, and some of these treasures were still useful to him in his current state, so he didn't plan to exchange them for contribution points, but rather kept them for himself.
Unlike testing value points with a tester, finding useful treasures among many is a more complicated matter. Yi Shuihan basically takes out every single item to examine it and carefully confirms whether it is useful to him.
It's a bittersweet experience. The bitterness comes from having too much stuff to take stock of in a short time, while the joy comes from finding things that are useful to me.
For a full month, Yi Shuihan spent his time taking inventory of the treasures. Many of the treasures that were useful to Yi Shuihan needed to be confirmed and tested for their effects, which extended the time considerably.
Aside from the treasures that were useful to him, Yi Shuihan exchanged most of the other treasures for exchange points, eventually earning 25 exchange points. This amount was enough to buy those systems, and if the Ancestral Witches were not satisfied with the remaining treasures, it would be enough to get the remaining value points back.
"Since you've already said you want less, then let's reduce it by another 17 points. Reduce each system by 1 point, consider it a bonus from me, Yi Shuihan."
Remembering that he originally wanted to sell the 1000-point system for 999 points, but now he was offering a 9.5% discount, which meant losing more than 1 point, Yi Shuihan simply reduced the overall system score by 1 point for each individual system.
It's only 17 PM, nothing to worry about. Yi Shuihan said he wasn't concerned about contributing points.
"Exchange for the Three Lights Secret Technique, and then begin cultivation."
Since he had enough contribution points, Yi Shuihan did not continue to exchange for the remaining Three Lights Vine Fruits. He still had 4 Three Lights Vine Fruits in his hand, and he decided to keep them. If any of his wives became the first to reach the Saint level, he would let them cultivate the Three Lights Secret Technique.
The Three Lights Secret Technique is a saint-level method that Yi Shuihan should theoretically be unable to cultivate. However, with the help of the system, he easily solved the problem by spending some cultivation points.
No matter how powerful the Three Lights Secret Technique was, it couldn't withstand the power of the system. In the 9th year, Yi Shuihan successfully cultivated the Three Lights Secret Technique and reached the entry level. Moreover, he only used one Three Lights Vine Fruit.
Don't underestimate the Three Lights Secret Technique at the beginner level. After all, it's a secret technique at the saint level. Yi Shuihan's recovery ability is now comparable to that of a saint, about a hundred times stronger than before.
If Yi Shuihan can cultivate the Three Lights Secret Technique to a minor level, it will increase by 500 times; a major level would increase by 5,000 times; and a perfect level would increase by 10,000 times.
According to this calculation, Yi Shuihan's recovery ability is equivalent to one percent of that of a saint, which is indeed far from that of a saint.
Yi Shuihan of the Tianyuan Realm has gained a hundredfold increase in attack power and defense power. In addition, with the hundredfold recovery power brought by the Three Lights Secret Technique, Yi Shuihan is now fully capable of fighting a Saint head-on.
The pressure from the Primordial Heavenly Dao on Yi Shuihan has been withstood by the system, and the strength that Yi Shuihan can exert is far beyond what it was when facing Kunpeng.
Considering that all the saints in this world are Heavenly Saints and will receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, Yi Shuihan will eventually lose in a protracted battle. However, this will not affect Yi Shuihan's status. His strength is undeniable. If he can't win, he can simply run away. He has no reason to be afraid when competing with saints.
With the ten-year mark almost up, Yi Shuihan stopped cultivating and went directly to the Witch Clan. If he continued cultivating, it would take him at least a thousand years to break through to the minor mastery of the Three Lights Secret Technique, and even longer to reach the major mastery. After all, he was not a saint.
Arriving at the Witch Clan familiarly, Yi Shuihan witnessed a small-scale war between the Witches and Demons, with thousands of Witches facing off against tens of thousands of Demons. The battle was so fierce that the sun and moon seemed to lose their light.
The Wu tribe had fewer people than the Yao tribe, but their individual strength was greater. Therefore, even though the Yao tribe outnumbered the Wu tribe tenfold, they were still at a disadvantage and were quickly driven back.
“Recently, the demon race has become increasingly rampant, even coming to the vicinity of our tribe to launch attacks. Do they really think our Wu tribe is made of clay? In my opinion, we should unite and launch a great war to exterminate the demons, so that the demon race will know that our Wu tribe is the overlord of this world.”
The speaker was an acquaintance of Yi Shuihan, the Great Witch Xing Tian. He had just gone through a battle and was covered in blood, the blood of the demon race, making him look like a blood-soaked general.
Chapter 1033, System Coverage
Yi Shuihan revealed herself in front of Xing Tian, who instinctively swung his axe at her. Yi Shuihan did not dodge, and the axe stopped about ten centimeters away from her, clearly indicating that Xing Tian had realized what was happening.
"I'm sorry, Lord Taiyi, I...I..."
Xing Tian's style suddenly changed from a tough general to an awkward brute. He was not very good at speaking and even stammered for a moment.
They call me "sir" and clearly show me great respect. Is it because I am on equal footing with the ancestral witches, or is it because of the system?
The reason Yi Shuihan thought of the system was because he sensed the primordial spirit of a cultivator in Xing Tian. It was obvious that either the Xing Tian in front of him was someone else impersonating him, or there was only one possibility: he had obtained one of the five systems, and the system had given him the primordial spirit.
In just 10 years, he has gone from nothing to having such cultivation. It is estimated that he can become a Golden Immortal in just a few decades. Although there is a system involved, it is probably more because Xing Tian himself is a Great Luo Golden Immortal. His strength makes it too easy for him to kill demons.
"If it's not my imagination, Xing Tian seems to have become more rational. Is it because he has come to understand the Dao of Heaven, and therefore has become more respectful of all things? I wonder if this change is good or bad? Oh well, it's none of my business anyway."
Nodding to Xing Tian, Yi Shuihan said with a smile, "It's alright, I won't blame you. Are you free now? Could you inform the Ancestral Witch that I brought the system with me?"
Xing Tian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, but before he could reply, a hearty laugh rang out, and then a vortex appeared not far away, from which a figure walked out.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi truly keeps his promise. The Wu Clan loves having friends like you."
"How has Emperor Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, been?"
"Master Zuwu."
"Xingtian, you may go! I will entertain Fellow Daoist Taiyi."
Xing Tian bowed to Di Jiang, then flew to the battlefield to hunt down the demons who had not yet escaped far.
Looking at Dijiang, Yi Shuihan discovered that the other party's cultivation level was already that of a Celestial Immortal, just one step away from reaching the Golden Immortal level. If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it, as everyone else in the prehistoric world believed that the Wu Clan could not cultivate the path of immortality.
Yi Shuihan wasn't too surprised by Di Jiang's cultivation level. After all, he was the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, with formidable strength. If he wanted to become a Celestial Immortal, he only needed to sneak out and kill a few Daluo Golden Immortals or kill dozens of Golden Immortals.
"I thought the Ancestral Witches hadn't used the system last time, but instead gave it to a powerful witch like Xing Tian. I was wrong."
As the leader of the Wu Clan, Di Jiang's understanding of the Heavenly Dao would be very useful for grasping the overall direction of the Wu Clan. Therefore, it is not surprising that he uses a system. However, given Di Jiang's level, he should at least have a Quasi-Saint system or at the very least a Great Luo Golden Immortal system. Yet, he chose a Golden Immortal level system, which surprised Yi Shuihan slightly.
"I've got the system. Shall I hand it over to you now?"
Yi Shuihan spoke frankly, saying that the Wu Clan people didn't like pretense anyway, so it was better to be direct.
A burning desire flashed in Dijiang's eyes. He had personally experienced the power of the system and was eager to see a higher level of the system. The kind where killing just a few demons could give you the same level of immortality that others had cultivated for tens of thousands of years or even several eons was just too awesome. Even he almost lost his composure when he first experienced the crazy power of the system.
"Come with me!"
Dijiang managed to remain calm, knowing that handing over the reins here was not appropriate.
Following Dijiang, Yi Shuihan arrived at a room with a mysterious array set up on the outside. This array was very well hidden, and Yi Shuihan would not have been able to discover it unless he directly touched it.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably hesitate when they encountered an unfamiliar formation, but Yi Shuihan was highly skilled and daring, so he ignored the formation and walked into the room.
The other Ancestral Witches in the room were already waiting there. When they saw Yi Shuihan, they all looked over. Yi Shuihan wondered if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that Houtu's eyes were the brightest when she looked at him.
"I told you! Taiyi would definitely come back on time."
Houtu's clear voice rang out, her face beaming with smiles.
"Sister Houtu, you're a little too happy to see Taiyi!"
Xuanming's tone was somewhat playful.
"Sister Xuanming, I'm just happy that I didn't mistake my friend for someone else. Don't overthink it."
"Did I say anything?"
Xuanming looked at Houtu with a strange expression, causing Houtu to lower her head involuntarily. The other Ancestral Witches burst into laughter at the sight.
