The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True - Chapter 530
Chapter 530: Chapter 376: The Appearance of Camp Selection Once Again!_2
He planned to refine the sun and deal with the Fiery Shadow Ancestor atop it. After that, he would try to refine this Old God Source to see if the Ancient God Bloodline could be cultivated from it.
“We’ll talk about the Ancient God Bloodline later, let’s continue reading the update notice!”
This thought was in his mind.
Xuanqing continued to read.
….
The second major update notice….. Initiation of Faction and Race Selection!!
When he came across this update notice.
Xuanqing couldn’t help but recall the moment when he first activated the quantifier, a faction selection was promptly carried out.
The first map at that time was the Primordial World, and the faction choices given by the quantifier were only ‘Buddha’ and ‘Tao’.
As a Taoist, Xuanqing naturally chose the Taoist faction without hesitation. The facts proved that he didn’t choose wrong. Although the Primordial World seemed to promote Shimen, the actual authority holders were mostly Taoist Immortals.
This moment.
The quantifier’s second map… Endless Chaos, the faction choices given this time were different from last time, there were three in total – :
[1. Ancient Gods]
[2. Ten Thousand Clans Alliance]
[3. Soul Clan]
After choosing a different faction and then logging into the game again, you will appear in the corresponding area. Furthermore, whenever the game character dies and you opt to return to the city and resurrect, you will also resurrect within the corresponding faction’s territorial region.
Worth mentioning is….
As introduced under ‘Factions’.
If you choose the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, you can maintain the human bloodline, existing as ‘Human Essence’.
If you choose the Soul Clan, though it won’t affect the real world, the physical body of your game character will dissipate.
This means that once you choose the Soul Clan, there will be no physical body in the Game World, so it naturally cannot materialize in the real world, and improving the cultivation of the physical body in the real world will not have any effect on the character in the game world.
Lastly.
If you decide on the ‘Ancient God Clan’, it does not mean that you directly become an Ancient God. Instead, you are an Ancient God who has the Ancient God Bloodline and has ascended from a lower world.
In short~ choosing different factions will get you different identities as well as different characteristics.
Given that… There are indeed four great races in the Northern Galaxy Domain, why can’t one choose to belong to the ‘Elemental Clan’….
He guesses that it could be because the Elemental Clan is too unique, being made of purely refined elements and with problems also concerning their intelligence. With these factors in mind, it has become impossible to choose to be part of the Elemental Clan.
In summary.
“The Soul Clan requires the casting off of the physical body which is definitely not an option.”
Xuanqing pondered in his heart.
He had ruled out the Soul Race from the start, so the remaining choice would be between The Ancient God Clan and the Thousand Clan Alliance, these two forces.
The former is the most powerful existence in the Northern Galaxy Domain, likely also having a connection with Pangu of the Primordial World. The latter, however, allows him to retain his own Human Race Bloodline.
So…
Ancient God!
In the end, Xuanqing chose the Ancient God Clan.
Because he had given up being human long ago, from the moment he achieved the Chaos Morality Holy Body he was more of an ‘Innate Holy Deity’ than Human.
If that is the case… why not choose to be a stronger Ancient God?
Another point.
The Ten Thousand Clans Alliance is composed of many races which are refined, making it an extremely complex union. Perhaps, if the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance was chosen, he would have been drawn into the complicated internal strife of the various races all day.
The Ancient Gods, however, are different. Not only are they the strongest race, but the camp is very uniform too. All of them are Ancient Gods. Even if there is love and strife, they are all among the same race. It won’t be very severe, and at most it would only be a kind of healthy competition.
…..
New maps, Faction selections.
Having understood the first two content updates, Xuanqing then turned to check out the last update notice – the optimisation of the various functions of the quantifier.
Firstly.
He opened the game store.
In contrast with the originally complicated Game Mall, after the updates and optimisation, the mall now had a search function, and the items had been classified.
More importantly, there was a consolidated management of currency.
In the past, the items in the Game Mall needed different items to be purchased.
Some low-end everyday items could be purchased with only Ingots exchanged for Incense while some needed Innate Merit, some required Heavenly Merit, or even more extreme, needed to be purchased using ‘Origins’ as a unit.
After the optimisation now, it has been divided into two regions, one is the ‘Chaos Area’ and the other is the ‘Ordinary Area’.
In the Ordinary Area, all items could be purchased directly with Ingots while in the Chaos Area, items were bought using Chaos Origins.
Unfortunately, all the items currently in the Game Mall, including Chaos Level Magic Treasures, were categorised under the Ordinary Area.
“So…none of the items I have right now can be rated with eligibility to enter the Chaos Area?”
A twitch subtly pulled at the corners of Xuanqing’s mouth.
What did that mean?
Did it imply that all the treasures he had uploaded throughout his cultivation journey were seen as…trash by the Game Login Device?
It wasn’t just about the Game Mall.
Even two functionalities such as “Time Acceleration” and ‘Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence’ were categorized into two grades: [Ordinary Grade]and [Chaos Grade].
‘Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence’ didn’t seem much different from its regular version, still costing one Ingot per second with very limited bonus effects.
As for the [Chaos Grade] ‘Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Wisdom’, perhaps due to his inadequate cultivation, all he saw were question marks.
In addition… Time Acceleration, apart from the yet-to-be-unlocked [Chaos Grade], hadn’t seen any changes on either the consumption or effect fronts!
Moving on.
That was the Character Panel!
“Open Character Panel!” Xuanqing murmured silently in his heart.
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Clan]: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation]: Half-step into Chaos
[Score]: 5
[Ingot Balance]: 0.3 trillion
[Chaos Point Balance]: 0
PS: Player’s scoring points may vary according to the state of being!
Compared to the version before the update.
The Character Panel had removed [Physique], the officer-grade indicating [Grade], as well as sections like [Divine Ability] and [Cultivation Method].
It now appeared much neater.
“However…what the hell does this score mean, five points? Are they suggesting that my current strength is worth five points?”
Xuanqing knitted his brows slightly and pondered quietly.
Apart from that, there was a newly added [Cultivation] field, inscribed with the phrase ‘Half-step into Chaos’. Was this suggesting that his quasi-sage perfection-level cultivation status in the Endless Chaos World was equivalent to being half-step into Chaos?
So does it mean…that I am not yet a Chaos creature, but a half Chaos creature?
And…what are Chaos points, and can they be exchanged for Ingots?
His mind was swarmed with all sorts of questions.
“Maybe…once I truly enter the Endless Chaos, I’ll come to understand what all these data on my Character Panel mean!”
Xuanqing mumbled softly to himself.
Just like that.
He had a general understanding of the Login Device’s update.
Next.
In the Real World, only the threat from that Fiery Shadow Ancestor on the sun was yet to be taken care of.
Having been killed by the elder bird from the Fiery Shadows in the Endless Chaos not long ago, it was time to channel his inner torment and deal with this Fiery Shadow Ancestor!
With that thought in his mind.
He swung his Buddhist fly-whisk and, using Space Rule, turned his body into specks of twinkling stars, disappearing into the serene, dark universe.
…
…
Water Blue Star!
Qingping Holy Mountain.
Though twelve years had passed since the last time he harvested incense, this land where the Main God Taichu had ascended to sainthood, a sacred place for all humans to worship, had retained its untouched beauty in every aspect.
“The universe space in the Real World really is convenient, allowing direct teleportation to where I want to be!”
Accompanied by the ripples of space, a Taoist with a Buddhist fly-whisk appeared coolly in the Taoist temple of Qingping Holy Mountain. It was none other than the recently returned Xuanqing.
After a fleeting sigh.
Xuanqing activated his Heaven Devouring Saintly Art, preparing to gather the incense first.
After all.
When dealing with the creature on the sun in a while and using Time Acceleration to absorb the sun’s origin, it would certainly require an astronomical amount of Ingots.
With one thought.
“Incense…gather!”
