chapter 258 - Post-War Review
"Everyone, no need to see me off."
At the spaceport VIP entrance, Qin Tian picked up his luggage and faced his friends behind him.
Oriental Bright Universe, Fu Ning, Yue Shenghe, Zhuge Yu...
There were seven people in total, and since they hadn't left Qingmu Star yet, they had agreed to send him off on the spaceship today.
"Qin Tian, if you have time in the future, come find me in the Chaotic Star Region," Oriental Bright Universe said with a smile.
"Okay, maybe my business will soon expand to the Chaotic Star Region. I'll need your help then," Qin Tian said with a smile.
Oriental Bright Universe nodded, "No problem, contact me anytime."
Yue Shenghe laughed heartily:
"Qin Tian, you still have business to do. If your business expands to the Azure Star Region in the future, you can come find me. I guarantee you a smooth journey."
"Alright, it looks like I need to expand my business there sooner rather than later."
A smile appeared on Qin Tian's face, and then he waved goodbye to his friends.
"Everyone, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Looking at Qin Tian's distant back, Zhuge Yu smiled slightly. Qin Tian, perhaps it won't be long before we meet in the Imperial Capital.
Qin Tian had booked the spaceship's most luxurious Supreme VIP room. He didn't have to pay for it; the Oriental Family bore all the costs. However, the spaceship and the shipping company behind it all belonged to the Oriental Family, so it was merely a matter of reserving a room for him.
Pushing open the gilded cabin door, Qin Tian's vision suddenly cleared—this was no ordinary spaceship cabin; it was clearly a luxurious palace suspended in the starry sky.
The entire room utilized holographic projection technology, directly casting the vast universe onto the surrounding smart glass walls.
At this moment, countless stars were within reach, as if one could touch them with a hand. Underfoot was a nano-alloy floor that automatically adjusted its temperature, and each step left behind a nebula-like blue glow.
A fist-sized Spiritual Energy User crystal was embedded in the headboard, emitting a soft, calming glow.
Qin Tian adjusted the room from 'starry sky mode' to 'normal mode.' In an instant, the holographic starry sky in the room receded like a tide, and the transparency of the smart glass walls slowly adjusted, transitioning from the vast universe to an elegant interior.
Soft, warm light spilled from the ceiling, delicate wood grain appeared on the walls, and the floor transformed from a cold, technological blue to a warm, dark brown solid wood texture.
Even the air seemed different—originally carrying the unique chill of a space cabin, it was now filled with a faint sandalwood scent.
"This is much more comfortable."
Qin Tian nodded. While the starry sky mode was breathtaking, looking at it for too long inevitably brought a sense of rootless solitude. The current normal mode, however, gave him a sense of security, as if his feet were firmly on the ground.
Lying on the bed, Qin Tian habitually began his post-battle inventory.
This trip to Qingmu Star lasted nearly a month. It wasn't long, but the gains were exceptionally rich.
First, in terms of talents.
Two orange and one purple talent: 【Purple Firmament Lightning Body】 evolved into 【Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning】.
【Black Sky Gate】 evolved into 【Void Dominator】.
New talent: 【Netherworld Ghost Pact】.
【Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning】 raised his attack Upper limit, 【Void Dominator】 enhanced his mobility and survival ability.
【Netherworld Ghost Pact】 allowed him to cultivate a terrifying army of ghosts.
In terms of spiritual artifacts, he obtained Wind Riding Boots, Starry Sky Armor, Soul Imprint, a dagger, and a longsword.
The gains in elixirs and treasures were even more delightful.
From the Talent War, he obtained seven types of elixirs, including the Myriad Forms Augmentation Pill, Heavenly Thunder Body Forging Pill, and Five Dragon Metamorphosis Pill.
In the later arena battles, the families of the sixteen geniuses ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) came to watch and presented him with gifts of various elixirs and treasures, enough to last him until the sixth tier.
Of course, the most precious were the marrow of wood heart and Void Dragon Blood given to him by the Oriental Family.
In terms of cultivation techniques, in addition to the Silver-level martial art "Eighteen Storm Hammers" obtained from the Talent War, he also traded a vine from Jiela with the Oriental Family for three Silver-level dark-type cultivation techniques and martial arts.
Cultivation Technique: "Unending Shadow Prison Scripture"
Sword Art: "Dark Moon Nine Kills"
Movement Technique: "Night Phantom Thousand Illusions"
This was a series of cultivation techniques tailor-made for the Night Demon Apostle.
"Unending Shadow Prison Scripture" is a dark cultivation technique specializing in stealth and concealment. Cultivators can perfectly suppress their aura and merge with darkness, complementing the Night Demon Apostle's abilities.
"Dark Moon Nine Kills" pursues extreme assassination efficiency, with every move designed solely to take a life. The moves are simple yet contain hidden killing intent, executed silently. Most terrifying is its accompanying "Dark Moon Eclipse" effect, which causes wounds to continuously fester, slowly devouring the victim with dark power even if they miraculously survive.
"Night Phantom Thousand Illusions" pushes the art of evasion to its extreme. When executed, the user's figure flickers like a phantom. A master of this technique can vanish from an enemy's sight in the blink of an eye, only to reappear from the most unexpected angle.
Currently, the first generation Night Demon Apostles, Li Qi and Feng Mocuan, can cultivate this series of techniques. Especially Feng Mocuan, after obtaining the "Unending Shadow Prison Scripture," breaking through to the sixth tier is a certainty.
As for the second generation Night Demon Apostles, they will need to make contributions if they wish to cultivate this series of techniques.
Rewards and punishments in due measure are the foundation for the long-term development of an organization.
Finally, of course, there was the growth of Jiela, Kha'Zix, and himself.
Jiela broke through to the sixth tier, absorbing a large amount of wood crystal and purple crystal wall energy. Her strength also significantly increased after the breakthrough, and coupled with her extremely high racial talent, she is definitely a top-tier existence among sixth-tier beings.
Not only that, Jiela's path to the seventh tier has been opened. As long as she absorbs enough energy and reaches the peak of the sixth tier, she can devour the marrow of wood heart and successfully advance to the seventh tier.
Kha'Zix's current strength lags far behind Jiela, but after absorbing half a bottle of Void Dragon Blood, breaking through to the fifth tier will not be an issue. Furthermore, his race will lean towards the Void race, and it is very likely he will awaken Void-type abilities.
This way, Kha'Zix will achieve a leapfrog evolution in his race, becoming a terrifying spiritual beast no less powerful than Jiela.
As for himself, he continuously broke through from four-star four-tier to four-star six-tier. After absorbing the dragon blood, his physique greatly increased. The 【Night Demon King】 light orb reached a medium orange color, approaching dark orange, while the 【Great Wilderness Battle Body】 reached dark orange. Among those of the same level, except for Sacred Blood descendants, other Golden Bloodline Spiritual Energy Users would find it difficult to surpass him in physical strength.
In terms of diversity of combat methods, he can confidently say that he is the strongest of his generation; no one can be stronger than him, a cheat.
The only thing that has been somewhat depleted is his evolution point reserves.
Evolving 【Void Dominator】 consumed 2,000,000 evolution points. Currently, he only has a little over 300,000 evolution points left.
Qingmu Star is not a place to harvest evolution points. He hopes the next stop will give him ample opportunities to hunt.
He still has many talents waiting to break through to orange.
