182: Exchange 400 million? There will be no lack of attribute points in the future

After the black cat left, Mo Fan threw an appraisal skill at the pile of Origin Stones.

AZhanblue virtual panel flashed, and appraisal information immediately appeared.

“Found low-grade Origin Stone * 10000, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Do you want to absorb it?”

Mo Fan didn’t hesitate and immediately chose to absorb.

With a whoosh, the virtual panel flickered, and Mo Fan’s attribute information quietly changed.

“Available Attribute Points: 1.043 million”

The available attribute points changed from the original 43,000 to the current 1.043 million.

“Great, I can finally add points again!” Mo Fan smiled.

With a solemn expression, Mo Fan casually drew an aura-concealing formation, letting it envelop the entire room.

After doing all this, Mo Fan sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his “gaze” locked on the plus sign next to the cultivation column, and he gently tapped it with his mind.

With a whoosh.

Streams of profound information surged out from an unknown space, converging towards Mo Fan, instantly pouring into his glabella and appearing in his mind.

Quickly comprehending these suddenly appearing pieces of information, Mo Fan’s aura gradually became more robust, and his understanding of 'potential' deepened.

At the same time, his martial arts foundation became more solid, reflecting mysterious powers that nourished his soul, increased his spirit, and fed back into his body, enhancing his life potential.

His cultivation aura surged like a breached dam, rapidly climbing towards the next breakthrough.

Half an hour later, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He clenched his fist, sensed the changes in his body, and then, with a slight frown, checked his attribute panel.

“Name: Mo Fan (+)”

“Cultivation: Heavenly Fate Fifth Layer (+)”

“...” (Click to expand/collapse)

“Storage Space: Infinite”

“Available Attribute Points: 43,000”

His cultivation had broken through from the Heavenly Fate Fourth Layer to the Heavenly Fate Fifth Layer.

Correspondingly, his available attribute points returned to 43,000.

“Broke again!”

Looking at his depleted available attribute points, Mo Fan felt a little melancholy.

He took out the white jade that recorded the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

“How great would it be if this thing could be exchanged for military merits?”

Ten million Origin Stones were no joke.

That was one billion attribute points.

Mo Fan estimated that with so many attribute points, he might be able to break through to a realm beyond Void Shattering.

From his conversation with the black cat, Mo Fan had gained some understanding of their era.

They also experienced a world-ending catastrophe.

Even if there were Void Shattering realm beings in that era, it was useless; they were powerless before the world-ending catastrophe.

The black cat speculated that only the legendary beings beyond the Void Shattering realm might be able to survive such a calamity.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan pondered.

“The so-called world-ending catastrophe should be the giant hand that covered the sky and sun, as described by Yingying.”

“Before that, the creatures from the light gate were probably just an appetizer.”

“Too strong—”

Mo Fan took a deep breath.

From Mo Yingying's description, it was clear how powerful that giant hand was.

“Peak and Void Shattering are far from enough. Before the giant hand appears, I must find a way to break through to a realm beyond Void Shattering to have a chance at survival!”

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan's expression became firm: “My cultivation is only at Heavenly Fate now; the road ahead is long and arduous!”

Calming his mind, Mo Fan closed his eyes slightly, focused his spiritual power into the white jade, resonated with the soul imprint within, read the information, and studied the so-called Indestructible Heavenly Art.

“The Indestructible Heavenly Art is indeed formidable. It has six layers, one more layer than peerless secret techniques like the Breath Control Art, Sword Nurturing Art, Origin Reversion Sword Canon, and Purple Jade Smoke.”

Mo Fan was thoughtful.

“Does that mean the more layers, the higher the cultivation technique’s grade?”

“Then what level of cultivation technique is the twelve-layered Golden Body Art?”

Thinking of this, Mo Fan was completely dumbfounded.

He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the Golden Body Art.

“How did this thing end up on Blue Star anyway…” Mo Fan was utterly perplexed.

After pondering fruitlessly, Mo Fan shook his head, stopped overthinking, and began to earnestly comprehend the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

Two hours later, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes.

With a slight movement, an incredibly terrifying and majestic aura erupted from him, more than twice as powerful as two hours prior.

His life potential was once again unlocked, and his physical strength reached an unbelievable level.

Mo Fan used his spiritual power to investigate.

He discovered that although he was only at the Heavenly Fate cultivation level.

His life characteristics were significantly stronger than those of ordinary peak Origin Reversion practitioners.

In other words.

As long as he didn't seek death.

Even if his cultivation didn't improve further, he could live longer than Origin Reversion beings.

This was equivalent to breaking through the shackles of life.

It was an extremely absurd thing.

But it happened to Mo Fan.

“Is the effect of the Indestructible Heavenly Art so good?” Mo Fan found it unbelievable.

As expected of a cultivation technique worth ten million Origin Stones!

However, Mo Fan quickly understood.

His life potential increased so terrifyingly, not only because he cultivated the Indestructible Heavenly Art, but more importantly, it was related to his body's inherent strength.

He had cultivated the Golden Body Art for nearly a year, and his physique had reached an incredible level.

Previously, his life characteristics weren't too obvious because the cultivation technique he practiced was too low-level to fully develop his life potential.

After all, before this, he had always cultivated the Innate Art.

The Innate Art was only a first-rate cultivation technique.

Even cultivated to its extreme, it was only extraordinary.

Mo Fan was able to break through to Heavenly Fate while cultivating the Innate Art because he had a cheat.

Under normal circumstances, cultivating a low-level technique would naturally limit one's cultivation.

Although Mo Fan was not limited.

The accumulated life potential still hadn't been developed as it should have been.

It wasn't until the Indestructible Heavenly Art appeared that Mo Fan remedied this flaw.

Understanding all this, Mo Fan nodded in satisfaction.

“This Indestructible Heavenly Art is indeed good. My strength is more than double what it was before—”

“Of course, the most important thing is the increase in life potential. My lifespan is far greater than those in the same realm.”

“If there were no world-ending catastrophe, this would be the biggest advantage. Even if one’s talent is mediocre, as long as they live long enough and outlive all the strong ones, they can become invincible!”

“What a pity—”

Mo Fan shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and focused on scanning his attribute information.

Everything else remained unchanged, only the cultivation technique column was a little different.

“Cultivation Techniques: Breath Control Art (Fifth Layer), Sword Nurturing Art (Third Layer), Origin Reversion Sword Canon (Third Layer), Purple Jade Smoke (Third Layer), Azure Flame Art (Third Layer), Indestructible Heavenly Art (Beginner)”

Apart from the outstanding Breath Control Art, the Indestructible Heavenly Art also appeared in the cultivation technique column.

Of course, Mo Fan had only just comprehended the Indestructible Heavenly Art, and it would take some time to raise it to the corresponding realm.

“Excellent, I’ll spend the next while diligently studying the Indestructible Heavenly Art!”

Mo Fan settled down and began to cultivate seriously.

At the same time.

High wall.

The black cat and Xu Wudi sat side by side on the wall.

“Do you think he can comprehend the Indestructible Heavenly Art?” Xu Wudi asked with some concern.

“It shouldn't be a problem. You saw it too, his combat power is unparalleled, and he seems capable of killing enemies across major realms.”

“In such a situation, he must have cultivated cultivation techniques and martial arts far superior to his own level.”

“Since he can comprehend those cultivation techniques and martial arts, he can naturally comprehend the Indestructible Heavenly Art.”

“It's just a matter of how much time it takes.”

“That makes sense.” Xu Wudi nodded.

He glanced in the direction of Mo Fan's residence, then at the Blazing Flame Valley to the southwest. As if he had thought of something, he frowned slightly and said:

“Speaking of which, that little girl last time was also very outstanding. I actually favored her more. She could even digest indestructible matter, which undoubtedly makes her the legendary invincible physique with no upper limit.”

“With such a physique, as long as she doesn't die young, there's a great hope that she can quickly break through to a realm beyond Void Shattering and ultimately safely pass the world-ending catastrophe.”

At this point, Xu Wudi shook his head helplessly and continued:

“Unfortunately, her fate with the Army Breaker Token was a little off—”

However, the black cat shook its head:

“Meow, this cat favors Mo Fan more. This guy is much more outstanding than you imagine. He will definitely survive the world-ending catastrophe and pass on the Army Breaker legacy for a long, long time.”

As it spoke, it seemed to recall something, reaching out a paw to scratch its head and saying:

“Come to think of it, Mo Fan and that little girl from last time bear some resemblance.”

“No, not just their appearance, but even their bloodline aura—”

Thinking of this, the black cat was dumbfounded, somewhat disbelievingly saying: “Could it be that these two are father and daughter?”

Hearing this, Xu Wudi tapped the black cat on the head and said expressionlessly: “What are you thinking? If there’s any connection, they’re siblings. Your imagination is a bit strange.”

“Haha meow, this cat was just saying. Alright, go back to work, don’t disturb this cat from sunbathing.” The black cat shooed Xu Wudi away.

“Work? What work? There’s no one left in the military camp.” Xu Wudi sighed.

“Aren’t there new recruits? The necessary procedures still need to be followed, and the documents that need approval still need approval. Hurry up, meow—”

As it spoke, the black cat rolled over, lying sprawled on the battlement, revealing its round belly, and stretching its limbs with an expression of pure enjoyment.

“Sunbathing is so comfortable, meow—”

Xu Wudi: “...”

He glanced at the dim, lightless sky and let out a helpless sigh.

“Then you stay here. I’m going back to approve documents.”

“Go quickly, you don’t need to worry about this cat.” The black cat wiggled its paws... Military barracks dormitory area.

Mo Fan was immersed in cultivation, unable to extricate himself.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.

On this day, Mo Fan woke up from his sleep, full of vigor.

“Hiss, I finally defeated the red-clothed female ghost again, I can continue to add points!”

Mo Fan got out of bed, his face filled with excitement.

However, he quickly reacted and painfully shrank back into his small blanket.

“It’s too painful, I don’t have any attribute points!”

Because there was no sunlight, he couldn't cultivate the Golden Body Art.

Mo Fan quickly washed up and rushed out, heading towards the military camp wall.

“The Indestructible Heavenly Art has reached the third layer; I can’t improve it for now.”

“I need to find a way to get some Origin Stones, otherwise, staying here doing nothing is too much of a waste of time!”

“At the very least, I need to get my hands on the Army Breaker Fist!”

Thinking this, Mo Fan quickened his pace, turning into an afterimage. In a few breaths, he arrived at the wall and found the black cat lying on the wall “sunbathing.”

“Little Black, wake up quickly, I need to talk to you.” Mo Fan picked up the black cat and shook it by its front paws.

“What happened, was there an earthquake, meow?” The black cat woke up groggily from its sleep, a little bewildered.

“No earthquake, wake up quickly, I have something to ask you.” Mo Fan scratched its chin.

“Don’t, don’t be so handsy, meow—” The black cat jolted and immediately woke up.

Opening its eyes, it saw Mo Fan and couldn’t help but say somewhat unhappily:

“At your age, shouldn’t you be diligently cultivating the Indestructible Heavenly Art instead of coming to pet a cat?”

Mo Fan: “?”

Is that how you complain?

“Speak, what is it?” The black cat jumped from Mo Fan’s hands back onto the wall, grooming its fur as it spoke.

“I’ve already learned the Indestructible Heavenly Art. Can you let me learn the Army Breaker Fist?” Mo Fan said directly.

“What did you say, meow?” The black cat froze, scratching its ear, suspecting it had misheard.

“I said I’ve learned the Undying Heavenly Art and want to continue learning the Po Jun Fist. Is there no way to achieve this goal?” Mo Fan asked seriously.

Hearing this, the black cat glared at Mo Fan and said, “Are you kidding me, meow?”

How could anyone comprehend the Undying Heavenly Art so quickly!

It’s only been ten days!

“I really did comprehend it. If you don’t believe me, watch.” Mo Fan focused his mind, immediately activated the Undying Heavenly Art breathing technique, and gathered wisps of the world’s power around him.

“Meow, meow, meow?!” The black cat’s eyes widened, and its head buzzed.

“You really comprehended it? Comprehending the Undying Heavenly Art in ten days, are you even human, meow?”

Mo Fan shook his head helplessly, gazed at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and said with a melancholic expression:

“There’s nothing I can do. You don’t understand the pain of a peerless genius. I didn’t want to be this fast, but I couldn’t control myself.”

“Meow, go to hell, Versailles!” The black cat glared at Mo Fan, wanting to bite him.

“Wow, you even know about Versailles?” Mo Fan was surprised.

“Hehe, impressive, meow?” The black cat chuckled proudly.

“Impressive, impressive. But speaking of which, how long have you been with that little girl?” Mo Fan was curious.

His daughter hadn’t told him about a black cat in the secret realm.

The black cat licked its pink paw pad, covering its face as it said, “Been with? No, I haven’t. I just found her interesting, so I followed her to observe her and learned some fun words along the way.”

“Hiss—” Mo Fan gasped, looking disgusted, “You sound a lot like a pervert. Don’t do that anymore.”

“Uh, really, meow? I look like a pervert?” The black cat scratched its head, a bit confused.

“It’s not just ‘like,’ you are a pervert. Do less of that kind of thing, or you’ll get beaten to death sooner or later,” Mo Fan said.

Hearing this, the black cat nodded thoughtfully, stretched its front paws, and said, “Okay, meow, I understand, meow.”

Mo Fan covered his forehead.

Without further ado with the black cat, Mo Fan pulled out the white jade and handed it back to the black cat: “I’ve comprehended the Undying Heavenly Art, so this thing is useless to me now. Here, take it back.”

“Alright.” The black cat took the jade tablet, pressed it against its forehead, and the tablet vanished, God knows where it put it.

“Can you give me the Po Jun Fist now?” Mo Fan asked.

The black cat shook its head: “What are you thinking, fellow? Exchanging for the Po Jun Fist requires ten million points. How could I let you have it for free?”

Hearing this, Mo Fan’s face darkened.

Good heavens, you even know the term “for free”?

Focusing his mind, Mo Fan settled for a compromise and said again:

“Then can you provide me with some Origin Stones for cultivation? You want me to inherit Po Jun, so you should at least provide me with cultivation resources, right?

“If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it grass, right? Don’t you agree?”

Mo Fan reasoned with emotion and logic.

“Uh—”

The black cat froze, pondered for a long time, then nodded: “What you said makes a lot of sense. This cat also thinks you should be provided with cultivation resources, but—”

“But what?”

“But exchanging materials requires following procedures. These are rules set by the City Lord.

“Although he’s not here now, those formations are still running. Besides exchanging with military merits, I have no other way,” the black cat said with a regretful expression.

“Really?!” Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

“Of course, it’s true,” the black cat said.

“I @*!” Mo Fan wanted to curse.

“Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time. According to historical patterns, after the spiritual energy recovery, the great calamity of annihilation will appear at least five thousand to ten thousand years later.

“That much time is enough for you to properly revitalize Po Jun. You definitely won’t be short on military merits in the future.”

“Five thousand to ten thousand years?” Mo Fan was puzzled.

“Hmm, in our era, we unearthed many historical relics, and through some rather mystical methods, we obtained a lot of information.

“Looking at the times of annihilation in various eras, taking the spiritual energy recovery as the starting point, it either begins at the five-thousand-year mark.

“Or it begins at the ten-thousand-year mark.

“Besides these, there are no other points, and the chances are fifty-fifty.”

Pausing, the black cat continued: “Our era began at the five-thousand-year mark.

“Of course, from the beginning to the end of the great calamity of annihilation, it also went through some time before the irresistible power of annihilation appeared.”

As it said this, the black cat kept looking up at the hazy sky, lost in thought.

However, at this moment, Mo Fan’s heart was churning with stormy waves.

Five thousand years?

Ten thousand years?

Why does Blue Star only have one thousand years?

The spiritual energy recovery has only been a thousand years, and it hasn’t even fully recovered yet; Origin Energy hasn’t even appeared.

Such a quick annihilation, no matter how you look at it, isn’t normal.

“What’s wrong with you?” The black cat came back to its senses, noticed Mo Fan’s unusual expression, and asked curiously.

“Nothing, just remembered some happy things.” Mo Fan shook his head.

Finally, he took a deep breath and looked earnestly at the black cat.

Soon, his gaze lingered on the black cat’s half-severed tail, and an idea suddenly popped into his head, so he tentatively asked:

“Can providing some supplies to Po Jun also earn military merits?”

The black cat nodded: “Of course, but it has to be valuable things, things useful to Po Jun.”

Pausing, the black cat glanced at Mo Fan and continued: “To be honest, the things you brought from the outside world are meaningless to Po Jun.”

Mo Fan nodded: “Little Black, if, and I mean if.

“If I have the power of law, how many military merits do you think it could be exchanged for?”

Hearing this, the black cat froze, its dark eyes widening, and it said in disbelief: “What did you say? You have the power of law?”

“I said if.” Mo Fan said.

The black cat composed itself, then said: “To condense the power of law, one’s cultivation needs to reach the Void-Shattering realm.

“If you really have the power of law, it can be exchanged for a lot of military merits.”

“How much is ‘a lot’?” Mo Fan pressed.

“Because the power of law will be depleted when stripped from a Void-Shattering creature, it depends on the situation.

“But under normal circumstances, four million military merits is no problem.

“Of course, currently, only the power of law from demon beasts and humans is valuable to Po Jun.

“Because these two types of law power can restore my and Commander Xu’s cultivation, enhancing Po Jun’s ability to endure—”

After speaking, the black cat looked at Mo Fan, its body trembling as it said: “You don’t really have the power of law, do you?”

“Yes.” Mo Fan nodded.

“Oh, this cat just said—” Halfway through its sentence, the black cat froze, its pupils shrinking. “Wait, what did you just say?”

“I really have the power of law, from a demon beast.” Mo Fan said.

“Meow, what the heck?!” The black cat jumped off the wall in an instant, looking utterly shocked, its fur standing on end.

“You really have it?” It still couldn’t believe it.

“Really.” Mo Fan nodded.

“Hiss, unbelievable, incredible, astonishing, terrifying!” The black cat started babbling incoherently, so excited that its entire body floated in the air.

With the power of law from a demon beast, its cultivation could recover significantly!

At least its tail could be restored!

However, it quickly seemed to remember something, and slumped down, falling from the air with a thud, lying sprawled on the wall with a look of utter despair.

“What’s wrong with you?” Mo Fan asked, puzzled.

“The world has changed, meow. The power of law in your era is different from ours, I can’t use it.” The black cat was heartbroken, almost wanting to cry.

One moment it had finally seen hope, the next it was slapped hard by reality.

“Sigh, it’s my fate, meow, I’m destined not to restore my incomplete body.” The black cat sighed weakly.

Mo Fan: “...”

“Well, about that—”

“What else, meow? If there’s nothing, go back and cultivate. This cat wants to be alone!” The black cat remained lying down, unwilling to move, no longer wanting to bother with Mo Fan.

Mo Fan rubbed his temples and said, “What I wanted to say is, the power of law I have is from your era.”

“Huh? What did you say, meow?” The black cat jolted, instantly leaping off the wall, staring at Mo Fan in astonishment, suspecting it had misheard.

“The power of law I have is from your era.”

Mo Fan smiled, directly took out the demon core, and continued: “So, can this thing be exchanged for military merits?”

“Hiss? Meow, meow, meow? This aura—”

The black cat’s fur stood on end again, so excited it was incoherent.

It never expected that the power of law in Mo Fan’s hand was actually from its own era, and the aura was indeed that of a demon beast!

“Stop making such a fuss, quickly go exchange it for military merits for me!” Mo Fan put the demon core back, reached out, picked up the black cat, and flew towards the warehouse.

Since it could be exchanged... he was going to get rich!

The black cat said it could be exchanged for at least four million military merits!

And four million military merits could be exchanged for four million Origin Stones.

Four million Origin Stones, when converted, would be four hundred million attribute points!

Such a huge number, just thinking about it was terrifying!

He would never lack attribute points again!

“Exchange, exchange, this cat will exchange it for you!” The black cat nodded repeatedly.

“Then tell me, how many military merits can you exchange for me?” Mo Fan asked.

However, the black cat shook its head: “I don’t know. This cat’s cultivation has fallen to the Guiyuan realm, so I can’t truly sense the power of law, and naturally, I can’t determine its completeness.”

Hearing this, Mo Fan was dumbfounded: “Then what should I do? Just give me ten million military merits?”

“Don’t worry, the warehouse’s law will automatically identify it. You won’t be short on military merits then, just exchange it boldly!” The black cat said quickly.

“I see, I understand.” Mo Fan realized.

A moment later, one person and one cat arrived at the warehouse.

“See that glowing stone platform? Put the power of law on it, and the warehouse formation will identify it,” the black cat extended its paw, pointing to a stone platform covered with dense runes.

“Okay, I’ll try.” Mo Fan nodded and walked over.

He glanced at the stone platform, confirmed that the law was fine, then took out the demon core again, placed it in the center of the platform, and waited patiently.

A moment later, the stone platform lit up with a brilliant golden glow.

Just then, the black cat reminded: “Watch the numbers that appear on the stone platform. That is the value of the power of law you hold!”

Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded, his eyes fixed on the smooth stone platform without blinking.

Soon, the golden light dissipated, and a string of characters slowly appeared beneath the demon core.

Seeing this, Mo Fan’s eyes lit up.

He was going to get rich!

Four hundred million attribute points were about to be in his grasp!
