Chapter 81: Chapter 78 Dongfang Bubai, Defeated

"You’ve lost, Dongfang Bubai," Qing Yu said, his forehead beaded with cold sweat and his face contorted in severe pain, but the curve at the corner of his mouth could not be smoothed.

"Who would have thought you’d be so ruthless..." Dongfang Bubai’s gaze lowered to the arm that had pierced through his own chest.

In the final moments, this right arm suddenly twisted into a drill shape, penetrating his chest and shattering his heart completely.

"If I wasn’t ruthless to myself, how could I ever defeat Dongfang Bubai?" Qing Yu said with a carefree smile.

Although the meridians in his right arm were damaged, the tendons that were fundamental for exerting force were still functional. Using the "Spirit Snake Fist" technique, Qing Yu completely twisted his right arm, turning it into a weapon to unexpectedly strike and instantly kill Dongfang Bubai upon contact.

Dongfang Bubai’s figure slowly dissipated. "Undefeated, yet ultimately defeated..."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for defeating the boss Dongfang Bubai and obtaining the following rewards:

Inheritance of the boss Dongfang Bubai,

One special lottery draw."

Ignoring the system’s notification, Qing Yu was instead overwhelmed by the influx of martial arts enlightenment from Dongfang Bubai.

"Heavenly Person Transformation, All Things Nourishment."

This ultimate secret that Dongfang Bubai had comprehended from the "Kuihua Treasure" was now continuously being transmitted to Qing Yu by the system.

"Create Yin and Yang to form a Heavenly Person, transform and descend into the world..."

Continuously accepting Dongfang Bubai’s inheritance, Qing Yu also derived his own insights, which combined with the other’s.

Exiting the Inheritance Space with eyes sparkling intensely, Qing Yu announced, "The time to advance to the Innate Realm has come..."

The wounds he sustained in the Inheritance Space disappeared upon exit, finding Qing Yu at the pinnacle of vitality after defeating Dongfang Bubai. Seizing this victorious moment, he decided in one fell swoop to achieve the Innate Realm.

The inner strength within his body moved according to his will, surging upward fiercely toward the crown of his head, puncturing through Heaven and Earth Two Bridges effortlessly.

Flowing naturally like water following its course, obstacles that held back countless Postnatal Ninth Layer martial artists posed no difficulty to Qing Yu—it was a breakthrough as overwhelming as a bamboo breaking free of its constraints.

As both Heaven and Earth Two Bridges were cleared, external primordial energy from heaven and earth continuously surged in, merging with the postnatal inner strength within Qing Yu’s body.

"Heavenly Person Transformation, All Things Nourishment, Yin and Yang revolving, creating a Heavenly Person."

The first two phrases were Dongfang Bubai’s enlightenments, while the last two phrases were Qing Yu’s own realization combined with the "Heavenly Person Transformation, All Things Nourishment" he had learned, manifesting a method to achieve the Heavenly Person state.

Using this first encounter with the heaven and earth primordial energy, Qing Yu aimed not only to evolve his inner strength to Innate True Qi but also to cleanse his physical body and return to the state before his intrinsic form had fully formed.

With the primordial energy of heaven and earth, he allowed his body to seemingly be reborn from the womb, only this time, the womb was replaced by heaven and earth itself. Qing Yu referred to this magical method as "Heavenly Person Rebirth."

The heavenly and earthly primordial energy continuously entered Qing Yu’s body, swift yet harmonious and natural, unlike ordinary Innate Martial Artists who absorb it ferociously or the typical surge during advancement to the Innate Realm. This process was gentle and silent because it was an act of creation, not plunder.

"Whew..." He exhaled the final breath of impure air from his body. "Reversed to Innate, no longer merely mortal."

"This is the true form of Innate—born from the Innate, creating a Heavenly Person. Although my Heavenly Person body is initially formed, its effects are already apparent. Ordinary Innate Experts of the same realm are like chickens and dogs in my presence. Continuing this way, one day I shall become a true Heavenly Person."

As the "Heavenly Person Rebirth" had already commenced, Qing Yu would maintain a continuous resonance with the heaven and earth energy, constantly transforming himself, striving to truly achieve the Heavenly Person body.

"Ding, the host has advanced to the Innate Realm, no longer requiring resources of one star or below, which have been removed from the system’s lottery pool. Items and Character Cards acquired by the host so far are retained. Due to the removal of ungraded and one-star items and Character Cards drawn from the low-level lottery, the low-level lottery has been deactivated, and the host may only use Villain Points to draw from intermediate and advanced lotteries in the future."

"Host has advanced to Innate, the conversion rate of gold to Villain Points has changed from 1:1 to 1:10."

"You still have one special lottery draw, do you wish to draw now?"

The system’s notifications rang out one after another.

"Remove one-star and ungraded items and Character Cards? Whatever, they’re of no use now."

"The exchange of gold and Villain Points doesn’t matter either, it’s out of reach anyway..."

Ever since that one instance in the Li Family Treasury where Qing Yu charged for the first time, he had never spent more money. The low-level lottery drew items that were now of little use to Qing Yu, and exchanging 100 points required one hundred taels of gold, equal to one thousand taels of silver.

One thousand taels of silver—what an amount; one tael of silver in this world had the purchasing power equivalent to two hundred RMB in Qing Yu’s previous life. One thousand taels equaled two hundred thousand RMB. Now with the exchange rate ten times greater, Qing Yu would need ten thousand taels of gold to draw from the intermediate lottery, equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver, or twenty million RMB.

With that amount of money, Qing Yu could scatter funds to cause mischief far exceeding a thousand Villain Points.

So, unless he stumbled upon a gold mine in the future, this marketplace exchange was effectively sealed.

"System, what’s this special lottery draw about?"

"Special lottery allows the host to draw after defeating a boss, and you can draw any item or Character Card higher than the defeated boss’s star level."

"So, I can use this special draw to pull anything from two-star to six-star?"

"Yes, but the higher the item’s grade, the less available they are and the smaller the probability of drawing them."

"System, that’s quite a unique take."

The system, modifying the drawing range and removing items Qing Yu no longer needed while providing a special lottery, was completely different from the usual systems he read about online in his previous life.

In Qing Yu’s mind, the system certainly perceived the meaning behind his words: "This system is designed to cultivate the strongest villain, not to engage in pointless exploitation. Indeed, Villain Points are a testament to the host’s strength and are of no real use to the system itself."

"Having such a system is indeed my honor...

Enough talk, let’s conduct the special lottery draw."

"Special lottery drawing..."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a four-and-a-half-star item ’Yin Yang Technique.’"

"Yin Yang Technique? What the hell?" Qing Yu’s first thought was of a money-sucking mobile game themed around anime culture from area 11, although that shouldn’t really fall under the wuxia genre.

Opening the reception space to check the item’s description...

Item: Yin Yang Technique

Grade: Four and a half stars

Function: A comprehensive collection from the Yin Yang Family, which, due to its vastness, the host may acquire sequentially.

"Quite a large quantity indeed..." Qing Yu could tell just from the image, significantly larger than those of items previously received.
