Chapter 486: Chapter 244: Fusing True Skill Traits, Talent Upgrade, The Final Assessment Begins

One day, Jiang Che left his courtyard and headed for Duobao Peak.

He had now cultivated the Basic Chapter of the Myriad Phenomena Infinite Dao to the Tenth Layer Great Perfection.

According to the Sect’s rules, the higher-level methods of the Myriad Phenomena Infinite Dao could only be taught after the one-year assessment period was over and he had formally entered one of the four main branches.

With several months still to go before the assessment, he found himself in a rare lull with no new techniques to practice.

’Since I’m idle anyway, I might as well visit the Scripture Pavilion again.’

Although he couldn’t advance his Myriad Phenomena Infinite Dao for the time being, he still had the True Level Talent he had just acquired, True: All Laws Return to the Origin.

Its Passive ability, Sea of All Rivers, meant he could now practice any Cultivation Technique without needing to use Dissipating Skill, completely eliminating any worry about his True Qi becoming impure or conflicting.

Jiang Che followed the familiar path to the Ten Thousand Laws Tower.

As usual, after paying twenty points, he once again slipped into the reading room filled with the scent of ink.

This time, he didn’t limit himself to weapon-based techniques.

Fist and foot arts, Body Techniques, Iron Body skills...

As long as it was a Qi Blood Realm Martial Art he hadn’t practiced before, he accepted them all!

Two hours later, Jiang Che had memorized over thirty new Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts and walked out of the Scripture Pavilion, thoroughly satisfied.

Upon returning to his residence, Jiang Che immediately entered seclusion to cultivate.

For someone who had already reached the Fourth Layer of the True Master Realm, cultivating these Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts was an absolute steamroll.

In less than half a day, he cultivated a Qi Blood Realm Martial Art to Perfection.

Simultaneously, the Qi Blood generated by this martial art was instantly absorbed into his domineering Myriad Phenomena True Qi.

However, perhaps because the martial art’s level was too low, he felt only a very faint change in his Myriad Phenomena True Qi.

Over the next dozen or so days, he cultivated all thirty-plus of those Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts to the Perfection Realm, one after another.

However, even after devouring more than thirty Qi Blood Realm techniques, his Myriad Phenomena True Qi had only improved by a minuscule amount.

’As I thought...’

Jiang Che sighed.

For him, a cultivator at the Fourth Layer of the True Master Realm, Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts were simply too low-level.

No matter how many he mastered, when absorbed into his High Tier Myriad Phenomena True Qi, they only created the faintest, most insignificant ripple.

It was like pouring a cup of water into a great river; the difference was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Moreover, what disappointed him most was that after absorbing these Low-Tier Martial Arts, no decent technique characteristics emerged.

The so-called "Broken Bone" or "Broken Stone" characteristics were a complete joke in the face of High Tier True Qi.

Therefore, these Low Level characteristics were naturally incapable of altering the properties of his Myriad Phenomena True Qi.

’And that’s not all...’

Jiang Che sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness, looking at his major Core Talents.

True: Infinite Battle Armor, True: Shadowless Escape Stream...

As he brought these thirty-plus Martial Arts to Perfection, over thirty new basic Two-Character Talents were indeed born.

However, when these Talents were devoured by his Core Talents, although there was some enhancement, the effect was very limited.

Jiang Che had actually noticed this trend for some time.

In the beginning, just a few Two-Character Talents were enough to provide a decent boost to his major Talents.

Later, it took a dozen or so Two-Character Talents for them to upgrade.

After that, it took dozens, even hundreds, of Two-Character Talents to give them even a slight improvement.

’Have I... reached a threshold?’

A thought flashed through Jiang Che’s mind.

He understood the principle of diminishing returns.

When something accumulates to a certain point, adding more of the same low-quality input causes the returns to drop sharply, eventually reaching zero.

His major Core Talents were now all at the True Level.

In terms of effect, these were already extremely high-level Abilities.

These Abilities allowed him to effortlessly crush other experts at the same level of the True Master Realm.

Therefore, if he wanted to continue improving them, he would probably need a massive number of Two-Character Talents!

It wasn’t that it was impossible, but...

’The efficiency is too low.’

Jiang Che shook his head, decisively abandoning the idea of continuing to grind Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts.

’Since Low Tier ones don’t work...’

’Then what if... I switch to True Skills?’

An idea sparked in Jiang Che’s mind.

In this world, it was common knowledge that True Skills were mutually exclusive.

Typically, a person could only primarily cultivate a single True Skill in their entire life.

This was also why he had only used Qi Blood Realm techniques to grind for Talents before.

But now that he had Sea of All Rivers...

’In other words, I can use True Skills to grind for Talents now!’

’And the Talents born from True Skills will inevitably be of a higher tier!’

’Perhaps... they can directly cause my Core Talents to undergo another qualitative transformation?’

’Not only that, the characteristics of a True Skill are definitely stronger and can be retained by the Myriad Phenomena True Qi!’

At this thought, Jiang Che could barely sit still.

He decisively returned to the Scripture Pavilion on Duobao Peak.

This time, he didn’t linger in the first-floor hall but went straight to the second floor.

The atmosphere on the second floor was much quieter and more serene than the first, with far fewer bookshelves.

In their place were Jade Scrolls, each displayed in a wooden box.

The inheritance of a True Skill relied on the infusion of True Intent; mere paper and ink could not bear its Divine Charm, so they were all recorded on Jade Scrolls.

However, these Jade Scrolls were all protected by minor Restriction Techniques. Sweeping them with Divine Thought only revealed a simple introduction, not the detailed contents.

To view the full contents, one had to spend points to redeem them.

Jiang Che didn’t rush to choose. Instead, he walked to the counter and consulted in detail with the Elder in charge of this floor.

What he learned was a real eye-opener, leaving him secretly astonished.

It turned out that True Skills also had a strict hierarchical system, and their prices varied astronomically.
