The next level of the combined upgrade reached eight million.

Compared to the time of returning to emptiness, it has improved by more than a hundred times!

My trading points of over 200 million seem like a lot, but in reality, even a continuous doubling of those points isn't enough to reach the Mahayana realm.

It is conceivable that after Mahayana Buddhism, even more trading points will be needed!

However, there is one advantage.

Ye Feng felt that the cost of body tempering was probably factored in at the trading points.

He had upgraded to the Divine Travel Realm using the Chaotic Golden Body, and although the realm was no longer there, his physical body continued to upgrade in tandem...

In general, the more you consume, the greater the reward.

Don't worry about spending a lot of trading points; your strength will increase just as much!

Moreover, this is still before the combined cultivation technique is perfected... If I can deduce the technique before the next deduction and reduce the consumption by ten times, it will still be enough.

Advancing to a divine body may seem to have only increased Ye Feng's spiritual root points by a little over a hundred, but in reality, his aptitude has increased by more than tenfold.

However, the time spent comprehending and cleansing within the Daoist essence cannot be reduced tenfold. After all, this divine body is essentially capable of comprehending the Daoist essence anytime, anywhere. Having more Daoist essence in this place and at this moment simply means comprehending more...

Furthermore, the time required for advancement in cultivation level also increases.

However, it can't be increased tenfold, but it's more than double!

More than half an hour later,

"Transaction Points - 8 Million"

"Combined into four levels!"

An hour later,

"Transaction points -16 million, combined into the fifth level!"

...

Of the seven Great Immortal Venerables, six had their eyes fixed on the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable before them.

Such an illogical upgrade is something even ordinary celestial treasures couldn't achieve, right?

The seven were itching with desire, but the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable in the middle seemed oblivious, continuing to deduce with his eyes closed.

At this moment, their minds began to wander.

This old Xu is always talking about fate and destiny... Could it be that he already knew about this ending, and that it was all part of his plan?

Once this simulation is over, I absolutely must find Xu Laoguai and get to the bottom of this.

Even a Nine Tribulation Beast couldn't break through the sky barrier, so Ye Feng is definitely not some reincarnated Immortal Venerable.

The south is experiencing intense activity, and the world is shifting...

In recent years, Xu Laoguai has always been talking about "oddities" and "oddities," but when you try to find out the truth, he won't say anything.

Now there's another Ye Feng, who treats advancing in the ranks as easily as eating and drinking.

If we don't find out the truth soon, I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep well!

Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang's gaze was mostly fixed on Ye Feng above.

Cultivation became extremely simple from the moment she began testing her spiritual roots.

From birth to the present day, over the course of three thousand years, she has witnessed countless astonished gazes from others.

Now, however, she became curious about Ye Feng.

Even though the cultivation world is so vast, I've never heard of mortals establishing their foundation and core overnight.

The strongest record only mentions a predecessor who was originally a mortal, a great Confucian scholar of the imperial court, who, after seeing through the illusions of the secular world, directly transformed into a god.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it all comes down to talent and accumulation of experience. No matter how great the opportunity, it's impossible to reach the top in one step!

But now the reality is unfolding before our eyes.

From the moment Ye Feng entered the Nine Venerable Hall, his cultivation level at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage was clearly stated.

Even with the concealment of a celestial artifact, it's impossible to hide anything within the Nine Venerable Palace, right under her nose!

Unless... Ye Feng's cultivation level far surpasses that of the others, and he also possesses a celestial artifact exceeding that of the Nine Venerable Palaces,

But such a thing is absolutely impossible!

There's only one possibility for such a rapid advancement.

That means he originally had a higher level of cultivation, and he is only recovering now with the help of deducing the Dao... Could it be that he has truly broken through the reincarnation of the Dark One?

"Transaction Points - 64 Million, Sevenfold Merge"

Another hour and a half passed, and his body recovered again, but Ye Feng stopped.

The next upgrade would be necessary since 120 million has already been spent on trading points. Further upgrades wouldn't be enough to reach the Great Ascension stage, so it would be better to improve soft power.

"Upgrade the formation!"

"Trading points -20 million, formation level 8, next level 1 billion"

The information flooding into his mind in an instant left Ye Feng overwhelmed, and it took him a full half hour to process it.

This influence of rhythm greatly aids even the understanding and adaptation to formations....

Speaking of which, the Five Elements Sect also has secret places that help consolidate one's cultivation. Could their effects be the same as here?

Ye Feng felt like he had gotten himself into a dead end.

Having been poor for so long, his sudden wealth made him fixated on deducing the Dao, afraid of missing even the slightest detail, to the point that he forgot about the secret place of the Five Elements Sect.

However, this place has nearly 100,000 people in formation, and the Nine Venerable Palace as a divine artifact for assistance.

Returning to the Five Elements Sect definitely won't be that quick... even a one percent effect would be good!

However, the subsequent upgrades all required ten times the resources, which was simply unaffordable.

Go back and deduce and test the techniques first, then upgrade them. That's the optimal solution!

To reach the Mahayana stage, three more upgrades are needed, requiring a total of nearly 900 million transaction points, which, at the current recharge price, is equivalent to 18 immortal stones.

Where the hell can I find this?

Each small advancement in cultivation level is a doubling of the increase, but the actual increase in strength is at most one-fifth, which is a huge loss in the long run.

However, directly improving one's cultivation level and then comprehending the adaptation of cultivation is like reversing cause and effect. How can such a thing be summarized by a simple algorithm?

If all upgrades were paid for through the system, even the eight Great Immortal Venerables might not be able to afford the full cost... However, the system's transaction points are generated out of thin air.

Its original intention was to encourage Ye Feng to do business, buy things here and there, and be successful in all aspects.

It was just a fortunate coincidence that, with Ling Xuecong's help, put him on this fast track.

He was almost at the finish line, but he left behind the "wheels" that he had spent ten years developing.

Since I can't upgrade my cultivation level for the time being, I might as well upgrade my talisman skills as well, and save the rest for burning spirit energy in the future!

"Upgrade your rune technique!"

"Transaction points -20 million, level 8 of the Talisman Dao, the next level is 1 billion."

Now that we have the Nine Venerable Halls to help, let's just upgrade them all!

"Trading points -2 million, Alchemy Level 7, next level 200 million"

"Trading points -2 million, Refinement level 7, next level 200 million"
