Seeing the System light screen, Li Xuanxiao immediately summoned the System panel.
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Heaven Realm Third Layer]
[Cultivation Technique:
Heaven - Profound Grotto-Awakening Art (Minor Achievement)
Origin - Origin Tracing Martial Art (Perfection), Mahayana Origin Scripture (Transcendent)]
[Martial Arts:
Origin - Immortal Vortex Saber Art (Major Achievement), Evading leaves Movement Technique (Minor Achievement)
Mystic - Star Falling Shadow Chasing Blade (Transcendent), Star-Chasing Moon-Pursuing (Transcendent), Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash (Transcendent)]
[Buddhist Dharma:
Origin - Zen Sea Thunder Sound (Major Achievement)
Mystic - Universal Salvation (Transcendent), Great Thousand Reflection (Transcendent)]
[Demon value Points: 1.36 Million]
The categorization was obviously more detailed and standardized. It distinguished between Martial Arts and Buddhist Dharma.
Overall, the System panel was now more concise, clear, and straightforward.
Li Xuanxiao pondered, what did that Exchange function mean?
As his doubt arose, the System light screen popped up.
[Exchange: Spirit Crystals and Demon value Points can be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio.]
Li Xuanxiao immediately understood. This meant he could use the Exchange function to convert all the remaining several million Spirit Crystals in his possession into Demon value Points!
What was he waiting for then!
What he needed most right now was Demon value Points.
[Exchange Successful!]
[Acquired 4 Million Demon value Points!]
Going all in, Li Xuanxiao exchanged his 4 million Spirit Crystals for Demon value Points.
He kept 420,000 Spirit Crystals as a contingency.
With this, his Demon value Points once again reached 5.36 million!
Li Xuanxiao tried to see if he could continue upgrading the Heaven Realm Cultivation Technique Profound Grotto-Awakening Art, but there wasn't enough.
However, it could be used for other aspects.
For example, upgrading Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts of the Origin Realm grade, or for Deduction.
Li Xuanxiao considered briefly and decided to use it for Deduction instead.
Deducting a Origin Realm Cultivation Technique required 500,000 Demon value Points per attempt.
Li Xuanxiao gasped; his entire fortune was only enough to perform 10 deductions.
Who knew if the System had a guaranteed ten-pull.
Even if it did, he could only ensure that one Martial Art would be deduced up to the Heaven Realm.
Should he deduce it or not?
Li Xuanxiao hesitated for a moment.
If he were a lucky person, then there would be no question!
Deduct!
He absolutely had to!
With the Luck bonus, a single shot success meant huge profit without loss!
It was a pity he wasn't...
Reviewing past deductions, except for the single time he succeeded on the first try, the other times seemed to require eight or nine attempts before succeeding.
Based on previous deductions, Li Xuanxiao had roughly deduced some patterns of deduction.
Luck was certainly necessary, but besides Luck, other factors influenced the success rate of deduction.
It was also related to the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts he practiced, as well as the frequency of their use.
For example, if you practiced multiple similar Martial Arts, your success rate when deducing that type of Martial Art would be relatively higher.
Alternatively, the success rate would also increase for Martial Arts you frequently used.
Among the Origin Realm Martial Art and Buddhist Dharma, only Immortal Vortex Saber Art and Zen Sea Thunder Sound met the requirements.
The former belonged to the same category of blade techniques he practiced, while the latter was a Buddhist Dharma he used frequently.
Li Xuanxiao hesitated slightly.
Considering that the Heaven Realm Cultivation Technique he currently practiced was a Martial Dao Cultivation Technique, upgrading Immortal Vortex Saber Art would maximize his strength!
Thinking of this, Li Xuanxiao immediately made up his mind.
He would deduce Immortal Vortex Saber Art!
[You sit cross-legged on the ground, your mind merging with heaven and earth. Brilliant true essence flows emerge in your mind, as if you are immersed in a vortex of true essence...]
[The true essence continuously condenses, surges, and revolves. You feel the mysterious rhythm of this Martial Art...]
[In your mind, the scene of the only time you used this Martial Art appears...]
[You repeat these scenes, from the rise and fall of the ripples to their dissipation, interpreting a cyclical rhythm in your consciousness...]
[You gradually integrate into it and resonate with it.]
...
[Finally, a more Xuan Martial Art emerges in your mind. You name it Whirlwind Slaughter Blade!]
[Deduction Successful!]
After consuming three million Demon value Points and six deductions, Li Xuanxiao successfully deduced a new Heaven Realm Martial Art!
"I didn't expect it to be this smooth this time..."
Li Xuanxiao was somewhat disbelieving. Could the increase in Realm also lead to an increase in the deduction success rate?
Would advancing to the Heaven Realm provide some bonus to the success rate when deducing Origin Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts?
Li Xuanxiao pursed his lips, having some speculation in his heart.
But successfully deducing it was a great thing!
He still had 2.36 million Demon value Points left, just enough to achieve initial mastery of the new Heaven Realm Martial Art, Whirlwind Slaughter Blade.
Without any hesitation, Li Xuanxiao immediately invested.
[Consuming 2 million Demon value Points, initial mastery of Whirlwind Slaughter Blade achieved!]
[Current Demon value Points: 360,000]
At this point, Li Xuanxiao was poor again.
He only had 360,000 Demon value Points left, and only 420,000 Spirit Crystals.
What he gained was a significant boost in both Realm and strength!
Not only did his Realm leap from the Peak of the Origin Realm to the Third Layer of the Heaven Realm!
He also acquired a top-tier Heaven Realm Martial Art matching his Realm, Whirlwind Slaughter Blade.
Although it was only at the initial mastery stage, it was still much stronger than the Transcendent stage of a Origin Realm Martial Art!
Li Xuanxiao quietly looked at the System panel. After reaching the Heaven Realm, many Martial Arts had become obsolete.
For example, many Mystic Realm Martial Arts, at the Heaven Realm level, could only offer negligible benefits.
"I'll keep the Buddhist Dharma for now. After all, I don't know if the Upper Kingdom has a Buddhist sect. If not, I can only rely on Deduction to upgrade the grade of my existing Buddhist Dharma."
Li Xuanxiao murmured softly; Buddhist Dharma was still very useful.
Whether for defense, removing abnormal statuses, or healing and recovery, it could play a beneficial role.
The several Mystic Realm Martial Arts could indeed be reclaimed.
[Successfully reclaimed Mystic Realm Martial Art Mystic - Star-Chasing Moon-Pursuing, returned 50,000 Demon value Points!]
[Successfully reclaimed Mystic Realm Martial Art Stream-Severing Breath-Cutting Slash, returned 50,000 Demon value Points!]
[Current Demon value Points: 460,000]
After reclaiming these two Mystic Realm Martial Arts, Li Xuanxiao kept Starfall Chasing Shadow Blade.
Starfall Chasing Shadow Blade, as his only area-of-effect Martial Art currently, he planned to perform a deduction on it.
It would also serve to verify his guess: whether the increase in Realm also increased the deduction success rate.
As for why he didn't spend a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals to directly buy a top-tier Origin Realm area-of-effect Martial Art:
It was because Li Xuanxiao discovered that, based on actual usage, the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts deduced by the System were a notch stronger than ordinary top-tier Martial Arts!
The several Buddhist Dharmas he deduced previously were clearly stronger than other Buddhist Dharmas of the same Realm!
It seemed that anything related to the System had undergone a sublimation!
Therefore, Li Xuanxiao planned to deduce Starfall Chasing Shadow Blade as well.
Deducing a Mystic Realm grade Cultivation Technique or Martial Art required the consumption of 80,000 Demon value Points.
The Demon value Points he possessed was only enough for five deductions.
Li Xuanxiao stuck out his lip; he'd treat it as losing a hand of cards!
Charge!
Five consecutive System light screens popped up.
[... You name it Shadow Star Void Slash!]
[Deduction Successful!]
Li Xuanxiao's eyes lit up. It seemed the increase in his own Realm really did enhance the deduction success rate!
He succeeded in deduction within five attempts!
Although it wasn't Heaven Realm, but only Origin Realm, it was still far stronger than the previous Mystic Realm grade.
Li Xuanxiao closed the System panel. He now only had 60,000 Demon value Points left, not even enough for initial mastery.
He quietly got up and dispersed the true essence shrouding the outside of the room.
He was already beginning to look forward to the upcoming battle among the Three Great Powers.
