I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 253 The Story of Dai Huanhuan

Dai Huanhuan is numb.

Are you dull-witted?

So what am I?

Are they pure ants?

She pouted and said angrily, "How dare you look down on me! If I weren't born with a disability, I would have become a grandmaster long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang nearly spat out the tea in his mouth.

It's really hard to believe that someone who hasn't even reached the Innate Realm claims to have the potential to be a Grandmaster.

However, he still asked in doubt, "Congenital defect?"

Dai Huanhuan avoided Ye Kang's gaze and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, why should I talk to a corrupt official like you about this? It'll only cause you more trouble."

"Since you have nothing else to do, it wouldn't hurt to tell me?"

"You really want to know?" Dai Huanhuan tilted her head and looked over.

Ye Kang smiled and nodded: "Indeed."

"Tch, someone like you, who has royal tutors, would never understand. The old man said that when my mother was pregnant, our family accidentally stumbled into a demon's lair. As a result, my father was eaten, and the old man escaped back with my severely injured mother."

Dai Huanhuan narrated calmly, though she seemed a little lonely, but her emotions were not greatly affected, suggesting that she was already used to it.

She continued, "My mother risked her life to give birth to me and then died. Originally, my martial arts talent was unparalleled, but unfortunately, demonic energy entered my body, and that's how I became like this."

Dai Huanhuan shook her head helplessly, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Ye Kang asked, "Then what happened to the Thief King's fall from his cultivation level?"

Dai Huanhuan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It was also for my sake. After he rescued me from the Death Prison, he made me try to break through to the Innate Realm, but I failed. If the old man hadn't saved me at the cost of his own realm, I would have lost my life, let alone the Innate Realm."

【Ding】

[Task Released: Repair the Chip in the Sky]

[Task Requirements: Use the Demon Furnace to extract the soul of Huo Yuanpeng, helping Dai Huanhuan repair her damaged soul and restore her aptitude]

[Task Rewards: Comprehension, One opening of the Forge of All Laws]

Ye Kang was stunned. He never expected that the system would issue a task at this moment.

Of course, even if the system hadn't said anything, Ye Kang was already somewhat tempted.

After all, this involved cannibalistic demons. Ever since he killed the Flood Dragon King, Ye Kang hadn't encountered a cannibalistic demon in a long time, and he was itching to get his hands on one.

He asked tentatively, "What kind of demons did your parents encounter back then?"

Dai Huanhuan's expression changed, and she blurted out, "A huge bird covered in flames occupies the deep valley in the south, which is the only uninhabited area in the southeast."

"It's Huo Yuanpeng."

Ye Kang nodded in agreement. It made sense; the system wouldn't let him kill a demon casually, as expected.

Dai Huanhuan looked surprised: "Do you know what that big bird is?"

"I'm not sure. I've only seen such a bird in ancient books. Whether it's the Fire Phoenix is ​​still up for debate. I need to see it in person before I can make a conclusion."

Dai Huanhuan was completely bewildered.

"Are you crazy? You want to see that bird? You want to turn into bird droppings too? The old man said that bird is incredibly fast, its feathers are impervious to blades and spears, and it had the strength of a ninth-grade extreme realm before it even came of age. Now, twenty years have passed, it's probably become a grandmaster-level demon, right?"

"We still have to go."

Ye Kang answered without hesitation, his eyes filled with determination.

Dai Huanhuan was even more confused.

"What are you after? Do you really want to die?"

Ye Kang stared into her eyes and asked, "Do you know where your qualifications have been lost?"

"I know, there's a deficiency in the soul..."

"That's right, it's because you were affected by the demonic energy of the Fire Roc when you were still in the womb. So only by killing that Fire Roc from back then and using its soul as a catalyst can you repair your soul."

"Hey!?"

Dai Huanhuan was stunned upon hearing this.

"real or fake?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

"Thank goodness, I thought you'd gone crazy."

Dai Huanhuan quickly patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up, saying, "There's a limit to nonsense. Don't joke about other people's wounds next time."

She snorted and went back to her room.

Ye Kang did not explain, but continued to gaze at the lake and brought up the system panel.

[Host: Ye Kang]

[Skill: Mystic Formation Dissolution (Beginner)]

[Divine Weapons: Azure Blade, Frostwood Bow]

[Strength: Ninth Rank Innate]

[Remaining Comprehension:]

Ye Kang looked down, his gaze settling on the number of comprehension points.

A full 16 points of enlightenment, and scenery never seen before.

But it only looks like a lot; it's still not enough.

Breaking through from the eighth to the ninth level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique requires comprehension.

To break through from the ninth level to the Great Perfection requires enlightenment.

That's not enough, not to mention there are several other martial arts techniques that need upgrading.

Upgrading is not an option, because the system had previously reminded him that Ye Kang could only activate the Myriad Laws Furnace after he had broken through to the Great Perfection of all innate martial arts.

Ye Kang desperately needed the Myriad Laws Furnace because he didn't have any cultivation techniques at the Lotus Blooming Realm. Therefore, he needed to collect as many cultivation techniques as possible, preferably including several at the Lotus Blooming Realm, and then put them into the Myriad Laws Furnace along with the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique for deduction.

The Lotus Realm cultivation technique obtained in this way is the most suitable for Ye Kang and can best enhance his combat power ceiling.

Therefore, he still lacks understanding!

Piercing Star Arrow, Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusion Body, and Concealing Origin Qi Concealing Technique are all acceptable, but their grades are generally average.

But there's another one, the Unmoving Demon Body of the Underworld King, that's the real big spender, who knows how much enlightenment it takes to consume.

With all four martial arts skills combined, you'd need at least 20 comprehension points.

For this reason, Ye Kang dares not learn any martial arts techniques at the Innate Realm.

Too bad!

However, it would be impossible for Ye Kang to give up the Myriad Laws Furnace and just find any Lotus Realm cultivation technique.

If you have a system but don't strive for excellence, what's the point of having a system?

Fortunately, the mission reward includes an opportunity to open the Myriad Laws Furnace, allowing Ye Kang to familiarize himself with it beforehand. Therefore, killing Huo Yuanpeng is imperative, and the sooner the better!

After thinking it over, Ye Kang felt even more confused.

I never expected the road ahead to be so difficult. After the Innate Realm, there is the Lotus Realm, and there are also hidden sects in the imperial court.

My own job position is still unstable.

Do not!

It is extremely unstable!

How can I accept being stripped of my entire status by any reclusive sect?

To maintain a stable employment situation, we can't afford to give up! We have to work even harder!
