"When the evil core breaks through to the Soul Devouring stage, it will actually encounter a mental tribulation."
"This is way too early."
"Evil cultivators are indeed different; they've already begun their tribulation so quickly."
"This time it was extremely dangerous; I almost lost consciousness completely."
"Thanks to Brian's life, which served as an anchor point, I experienced contradictions, found flaws, and realized that it was just an illusion and a tribulation."
"I never expected that what I had imagined—playing someone else's life—would actually be useful."
"Fortunately, I played the lead role and had a clear understanding of the character's life, which allowed me to use it as an anchor."
"If it were any other minor supporting role, it certainly wouldn't be of much use."
Cao Kun smiled with relief. He had only tried it out, thinking that there would be no loss if it didn't work.
Unexpectedly, it actually came in very handy.
"It seems that I should take on more leading roles and experience other people's lives more often in the future."
This was just the first emotional ordeal.
The trials that follow will surely be even more perilous.
More anchor points are needed to make it easier to break through the tribulation.
Upon entering the system, Cao Kun saw that his cultivation level had changed.
Cultivation level: First grade of Soul Devouring
Experience points: 1,001,100
Cao Kun skipped that; he was more interested in seeing the identity section.
There, things finally changed again.
Identity: Second-rate heretical cultivator.
"Second-rate?"
Cao Kun was speechless.
Second-rate has a kind of half-baked feel to it.
In martial arts novels, second-rate masters usually dominate in small places and have a nickname that sounds incredibly rustic.
Examples include the "Stone-Opening Palm," the "Heaven-Shaking Roar," and the "Mountain-Breaking Knife."
"If Soul Devouring is second-rate, then what is first-rate heretical cultivation above Soul Devouring?"
"And what's above that? What is it?"
Cao Kun shook his head and looked at the cultivation level column again.
The upgrade button is still lit up, indicating that you can continue to upgrade.
Cao Kun didn't delay and clicked directly.
Cao Kun immediately sensed the difference in the upgrade of the Soul Devouring skill.
Besides the large amount of evil energy still flowing into his body, enhancing his magical power, Cao Kun also felt that his body and the world were becoming more in harmony, as if he wanted to completely merge into this world.
"If the elixir is the condensation of power, it is the manifestation of turning the illusory into the real."
"Then, the infant is a transformation of power, a transformation that transcends dimensions."
"The power that Dan can unleash is still his own power."
"The infant has begun to seek the power of heaven and earth."
"How could one's own power possibly surpass that of heaven and earth?"
"Cultivation is about merging with heaven and earth, and then transcending them."
Cao Kun has gained some new insights into spiritual practice.
This is similar to the three realms that people often talk about.
When you look at a mountain, it is a mountain; when you look at a mountain, it is not a mountain; when you look at a mountain, it is a mountain again.
The first level is the level of an ordinary person, where you are what you are.
The second realm is the realm of ordinary cultivators, where I can transform anything into whatever I desire. Therefore, whatever I say something is, that is what it is.
The third level is the level of detachment: whatever you want to be, it's none of my business.
When people reach a certain level or position, they will naturally start to think about relevant things.
Cao Kun's cultivation reached the level of Soul Devouring, and he naturally began to have insights into cultivation and the world.
Cultivation level: Second rank of Soul Devouring
Experience points: points
"continue!"
Cultivation level: Spirit Devouring Grade 3
Experience points: points
The upgrade button has turned gray, and your cultivation level can no longer be upgraded.
Cao Kun turned his attention to the "Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique".
"upgrade!"
Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique: Level 5
Experience points: points
"continue!"
Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique: Level 6
Experience points: points
"Promote again!"
Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique: Level 7
Experience points: points
The "Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique" can no longer be upgraded, but the "Soul Body Refining Technique" can still be upgraded.
After a series of clicks, he spent some experience points to upgrade "Soul Body Refining Technique" to level seven.
Seeing that he still had some experience points left, but all the upgrade buttons had turned gray, Cao Kun realized that as his cultivation level increased, experience points seemed to have depreciated.
Actually, it's not that it's devalued, it's just that now no matter what he upgrades, he needs a lot of experience points.
The original 70,000+ experience points could have been used to upgrade many things.
Now, however, it can only sit idle.
Currently, his attributes are as follows:
Host: Cao Kun
Identity: Second-rate heretical cultivator
Technique: The Art of Condensing All Evil
Cultivation level: Spirit Devouring Grade 3
Skills (Spells):
Corpse Refining Technique
Yin Fu Technique
Ghost Raising Technique
Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique
Yin Yang Creation Technique: Level Seven
Cursed Arts: Level 7
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 7
Heavenly Array Records: Level Seven
Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique: Level 7
Soul Refining Technique: Level 7
Experience points: points
Cao Kun exited the system and stood up with satisfaction.
In any case, the gains this time were considerable.
He broke through to a higher realm.
At this level, even if the US government turns against you, it won't matter much.
It all depends on whether Cao Kun is willing to do it.
However, considering some past events, Cao Kun felt that the official authorities of this world were not as simple as they seemed.
For example, the ghosts and monsters from before have already been clearly exposed to everyone in the world.
However, the official responses from various countries have been minimal.
This shows that they were already fully aware of this.
Given this, wouldn't the authorities of various countries, in their usual practice, study this aspect?
Is there no relevant department?
For example, as depicted in many movies, the United States has Area 51.
The Dragon Kingdom also has 749 games.
In reality, it may not be called by this name, but such a department probably exists.
The reason Cao Kun didn't spot them was simply because things hadn't completely spiraled out of control yet.
Perhaps, when FbI is completely unable to resolve the relevant issues, people from this department will appear.
Since horror can become a reality and can be cultivated, it seems reasonable that there are people in this world with special abilities.
Of course, there are other reasons why Cao Kun doesn't want to fall out for the time being.
For example, many horror movies feature very powerful beings.
Whether these entities actually exist in reality and whether they cooperate with the government is still uncertain.
Furthermore, once he falls out with the authorities, he will no longer be able to hide in the shadows and freely accumulate experience points to improve his cultivation level.
Similarly, it's likely that he won't be able to continue as an actor.
This means that one of the means to increase anchor points has been lost.
Of course, this is only because Cao Kun doesn't want to completely fall out with the US government. But if they provoke him, he wouldn't mind setting the country back hundreds of years, or even returning it to the primitive society.
The next morning, Cao Kun called Sivis: "You can pay the balance now."
Sivis was surprised: "Master Cao Kun, the problem is solved?"
Cao Kun: "Wait and see what the FbI press conference will be like."
Sivis: "No need. If Master Cao Kun says it's resolved, then it must be resolved. I'll personally deliver the check right away."
About half an hour later, Sivis appeared at Cao Kun's house.
As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't help but hug his arms: "Master Cao Kun, why is your house so cold?"
Cao Kun said, half-seriously and half-jokingly, "My family keeps a lot of ghosts."
