Chapter 97: Level 4 System

Chapter 97: Level 4 System When all the forces had dispersed, the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect was filled with peace and the cheerful sounds of conversation. Chang Qian, who was being teased by the other peak lords for not helping in the recent battle, suddenly saw Jiang Yun approaching. In a hurried voice, she called out,

"Master, we should hold a celebration banquet!"

Jiang Yun smiled lightly and nodded. Chang Qian beamed with excitement, respectfully bowed to him, and dashed off to eagerly prepare the feast. Jiang Yun watched her with fondness. He could sense the relaxed atmosphere after the fierce battles, knowing that most of his plans had succeeded. What he had told Feng Yi contained both truths and lies, and his goals were clear.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun spoke out, "System!"

[I'm here, Host], the system responded swiftly.

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes, irritation evident in his voice, "What improvements have you made since upgrading to level 4?"

The system was silent for a moment.

[...]

Jiang Yun grabbed his brush, preparing to act immediately.

The system's voice sounded panicked, [Host, please calm down! I'm reading the manual right now!]

Jiang Yun's tone grew harsher, "What have you been doing all this time? Why are you only reading the manual now?"

[I-I'll finish reading it right away! Please stay calm, Host!] the system pleaded frantically.

[...]

The system's tone softened, trying to be more endearing.

[The manual says the level 4 system can only be used in universes of... AHHHHHHH!]

Before the system could finish, Jiang Yun swung his brush at it.

[Wait, Host! My face is not paper for you to doodle on!] the system screamed.

Ignoring the system's protests, Jiang Yun lifted his brush again. "Lately, I've been loving the world. It's time to... choose..."

Before he could finish, the system interrupted, [What do you mean love the world? Weren't you planning to blow it up not long ago... (•??•?)]

"Did you say something?"

[N-No! I think there's a new feature you might find useful, Host!]

"Tell me about it then," Jiang Yun said, clearly still displeased.

The system hesitated for a moment.

[.....]

Finally, the system's voice returned, tense with anticipation, [It's... a random... shop system...]

Jiang Yun smirked and prepared to swing his brush again, but the system narrowly dodged his strike.

The system quickly added, [No... no... there's another feature I developed for you. It's the 'Fun Random Shop System'... AHHH! Just listen, Host! #SAVEtheSystem]

Jiang Yun squinted his eyes and swung the brush hard, "Return my villain points, you damn system!"

[Host, I'm all about looking forward and not dwelling on the past... AHHHHHHH!] the system wailed in panic.

"Fine. Explain this 'development' of yours," Jiang Yun demanded, irritated.

[Right away, Host! This newly developed system is a random shop...] the system began but was immediately cut off.

"How many snails do you want me to paint on your face?" Jiang Yun asked, lifting the brush once more.

[Wait, Host!] the system hurried to explain. [The system offers a random selection of four items for you to purchase, and not only that, but it also applies a discount—ranging from 10% off to completely free! The items available range from the Immortal Emperor level to the Divine level! Anything beyond that, though, can't be brought into a high-level universe like this without risking the universe exploding, Host.]

Jiang Yun listened, still looking unimpressed.

[The cost for one random shop draw is only 10 billion villain points per attempt. Interested, Host?] the system asked, trying to sound persuasive.

Jiang Yun frowned. "Damn this system..."

The system quickly followed up, [It could be your chance to get divine-level items for free! Just think about it, Host! You'll love it, I guarantee.]

Jiang Yun thought for a moment, then responded coldly, "Alright, alright. You're persistent. Open the shop for me."

[Certainly, Host! Since it's your first time, I won't deduct any villain points, hehe.]

The system hesitated before quickly adding, [Well... how about that, Host?]

Jiang Yun looked at the shop calmly and said, "Not bad. I'll buy everything. Draw again."

"System?"

"System, are you still there?"

The system lay there, unresponsive [___ (X __ X 」 ∠) __ ]

Jiang Yun smirked. "I figured you had hands, but I didn't know you had feet too... No matter, I'll buy them myself."

After making his purchases, Jiang Yun wasted no time. He created a concealment formation to hide his aura from prying eyes, then began using the items he had acquired.

"Let's start with merging the bodies," Jiang Yun muttered before fusing with both the Immortal Emperor Body of Chaos and the Nine-Colored Immortal Flame Emperor Body. The tremendous power from both bodies began to merge rapidly, their spiritual energy flowing into him. Once the process was complete, he felt a significant surge in his strength.

Next, Jiang Yun took out the Half-Divine Pills he had received, ten in total, which could enhance his cultivation. Without hesitation, he consumed them all. His spiritual aura soared rapidly, as though it was on the verge of exploding.

Half-Divine Level 1...

....

....

Half-Divine Level 5...

....

....

Half-Divine Level 8.

His spiritual power surged higher and higher, reaching the peak of the Half-Divine level. The energy was so intense that the concealment formation began to crack under the strain, with spiritual energy flooding out uncontrollably.

"Perfect... but it's still not enough," Jiang Yun whispered, before taking the Half-Divine Foundation Pill. The pill would perfect his cultivation foundation, and he swallowed one more.

As soon as the pill was consumed, his spiritual energy surged once again. His cultivation foundation reshaped itself, becoming more complete and stable than ever before. The newfound strength in his body made Jiang Yun grin with satisfaction.

"Much better," he murmured, a cold smile spreading across his face.

Once everything was done, Jiang Yun glanced at the system, which was spamming him with #SaveTheSystem messages. He simply smiled, dismissed the notifications, and walked out of the concealment formation, heading toward the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect's celebration banquet, where everyone was waiting for him.

At the banquet, the atmosphere was lively with laughter and joy. Everyone in the sect was celebrating their victory and survival. When Jiang Yun appeared, everyone greeted him with respect and reverence, but he waved them off, encouraging them to relax. He sat down to drink with them, not as a grand leader, but as a comrade who had fought alongside them. The time passed quickly in such a festive atmosphere.

Three months later...

In the months that followed, while no major attacks occurred in Tianyuan, the internal situation of the world was in turmoil. News of Feng Yi's revelations about the Universal Dao spread across many lands, not just within Tianyuan but reaching other worlds as well. This left many people and races feeling on edge and constantly alert.

This led to a temporary peace that lasted for three months, as the otherworldly forces seemed to be waiting for something—though no one knew exactly what.

During this time, the power structure in Tianyuan began to shift, with the major factions becoming more clearly defined. Now, the world of Tianyuan was divided into five main power groups, each varying in strength. These factions were ranked based on their abilities and the number of Immortal Emperors they had.

The Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect and the Eternal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty emerged as the strongest factions in Tianyuan, likely possessing over 50,000 Immortal Emperors each, if not more. This gave them unparalleled influence over the other forces.

The Xue Immortal Imperial Family: Although this family does not wield as much power as the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect or the Eternal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, they still boast 50,000 Immortal Emperors. They have expanded their influence and gathered numerous forces under their banner. Most descendants of the Xue family are born with Immortal Emperor bodies, and the strength of their family members is formidable. Under the leadership of Xue Ting, they have grown rapidly in a short amount of time, making them one of the most powerful factions.

The Immortal Sword Emperor's Sacred Land: This force is renowned for their mastery of sword techniques and has 45,000 Immortal Emperors among their ranks. While they do not possess as many members as the top three factions, their combat abilities are not to be underestimated. Zihao has risen as the leader of the Immortal Sword Emperor's Sacred Land, and under his leadership, the faction has grown in strength. Zihao is highly respected for his generosity in providing resources to those under his command and even to allied forces.

The Trade Alliance: This faction is a coalition of multiple Immortal Emperor forces, including the Golden Commerce Hall, the Tianji Tower, the Immortal Dragon Emperor Family, the Immortal Demon Emperor's Sacred Land, the Immortal Emperor Shadow Sect, the Immortal Emperor Sacred Dynasty, the Heavenly Wolf Clan, and many others.
