The four of them said no more, and after a brief farewell, they went their separate ways.

Hammer will take Number 56 to a nearby city, Venus will return directly overseas, and before sinking, after watching the three disappear into the sky, he will continue his journey in the forbidden zone.

He still has a lot to do.

...

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and a sandstorm, like a tornado, raged across the barren desert.

But on the edge of a sand dune, a figure sat cross-legged, unmoved by the raging storm, as if sculpted.

Sitting here is Shen Qian, who is lost in thought.

After searching for an hour or two, they finally found this desert, which was devoid of human habitation, and then they finally stopped.

During the final moments inside the "door," the system controlled his body. After waking up, he only knew that the system had succeeded, but he had no idea how exactly.

At this moment, Shen Qian was looking through the last part of the AFK log, trying to review what he had done and why he had wasted so much time before leaving the Spirit Witch World.

"...

You went deep into the Earth's core (18:23)

You begin absorbing the energy of the Originium (18:24)

You absorbed a total of 1,782 kg of Originium energy (18:46)

..."

Shen Qian paused for a moment when he saw this.

Nearly two thousand kilograms of Originium?

How is that possible!

His first surprise was the amount of Originium.

It should be noted that last time, only a thousand catties of source stones were found in Tantai Qin's spatial necklace.

But what Tantai Qinmie had was a B-level "door".

This Spirit Witch World is merely a small world behind a C-level "gate," yet it contains so many Source Stones, which is naturally a bit strange.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Qian felt that he could also understand this point.

Firstly, the thousand catties of source stones do not represent all the energy left behind by the world destroyed by Tantai Qin. Secondly, the system's efficiency is unparalleled; it can directly absorb them. Under the system's scanning, it is impossible for any source stones to be missed, so it is not surprising that so many source stones were found.

What Shen Qian really couldn't understand was how the system could absorb so many Originium.

It's important to know that the system's AFK logs use kg as the unit, while the normal weighing of Originium or Dao Stone uses jin (a traditional Chinese unit of weight).

In other words, this 1782kg of Originium, converted into the Hundred Kings Hall's unit of measurement, is actually close to 3600 jin of Originium.

According to the calculations before the sinking, less than a thousand catties of Originium would be enough to bring the system's energy value to 100%.

Where did all that extra energy go?

With this question in mind, Shen Qian continued reading.

"...

(The system's energy level has reached 361%, the red alert is lifted) (Note 1) (18:47)

You begin to ponder (18:48)

You have found the point of convergence between "The Blood Guanyin" and "The Golden Body of the Arhat" (18:50)

You have combined the two supernatural powers into one and created a new body-refining supernatural power (Note 2) (Note 3) (Note 4) (Click to retrieve comprehension details) (19:03)

(System energy level dropped to 153%)

..."

Holy crap!

Shen Qian was startled.

He glanced at the first annotation and then it dawned on him.

"Note 1: When the system is full of energy and has a stable energy source that can continue to absorb energy, it will enter a brief overload state, which can temporarily retain all energy for 30 minutes."

I see……

Shen Qian suddenly remembered that the system had spent a lot of effort studying Tantai Qin's body and then learned her "Blood Guanyin" supernatural power, but at that time, due to Shen Qian's own level of cultivation, he was unable to learn it.

The system also mentioned that this supernatural power could be improved, but it would require consuming 170% of the energy value at once.

Shen Qian didn't understand its meaning when he first saw it, but only today did he realize that this is how it works.

If the overloaded energy can be temporarily stored, then a 170% energy value is not surprising.

In fact, the system consumed more than 200% of its energy during this "contemplation".

Because the system not only improved the "Blood Guanyin", it also incorporated the "Arhat Golden Body" into it, forming a completely new supernatural power.

Such a shrewd move, even though I'm somewhat used to it now, still leaves me in awe.

Before sinking, he was troubled because the two supernatural powers he could currently cultivate, Blood Guanyin and Arhat Golden Body, were both body-refining supernatural powers. Not only were they the same type, but they might also clash when cultivated.

Well, now everything's fine.

No need to worry anymore, the system has perfectly solved this small problem for him.

Before sinking, I couldn't wait to look at the three comments following the line of AFK (away from keyboard) log.

"Note 2: You have come to understand a brand new supernatural power in your contemplation, which you have tentatively named 'Calamity Buddha'."

"Note 3: The level of supernatural power of the Buddha of Calamity cannot be defined due to incomplete data. You have only deduced seven levels so far. When the Buddha body is formed at the seventh level, the physical body can tear apart the top-level mountains and seas."

"Note 4: If you need to continue to deduce the subsequent methods of the Buddha of Calamities, it will consume 280% of the energy value at once."

After reading it, Shen Qian remained silent for a long time.

His feelings were truly complex, though mostly joyful.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that, judging from their names alone, both "Blood Guanyin" and "Golden Arhat" were related to Buddhism.

It's easy to understand why the cultivation methods deduced by the system follow the same path.

However, the word "blood" in "The Blood Guanyin" leans more towards darkness, while "The Golden Body of the Arhat" is the most righteous Buddhist supernatural power.
