Chapter 459 - 233: General Tier Inheritance
As the notification sound echoed in his ears, Chu Xiu felt a surge of power flowing into his body from the void, like a spring that had accumulated to its limit suddenly finding an outlet to gush out. Every cell in his body rejoiced, welcoming the metamorphosis of life’s essence!
"Crack, crack, crack."
Once the transformation was complete, Chu Xiu gently clenched his fist, and the crackling sound of bones echoed from his body, with a force far stronger than before surging from within!
[Name]Chu Xiu
[Tier]General Tier Level 1 (0/200)
[Current Class: Saint Sect Outer Disciple Elite (Foundation Establishment Mid to Late Stage)]
[Class Bonus: Energy Recovery Speed +850.0/h, Qi Refining Skill Additional Power Bonus +250%, Qi Refining Skill Cultivation Speed +350%, Foundation Establishment Skill enjoys one-fifth bonus, Divine Wisdom Resistance to the Influence of Killing Merit +1500%, Talents "Divine Sense" and "Jade Liquid" enhanced.]
[Current Killing Evil Merit Cultivation Speed Bonus: 684%]
[Constitution]7704.22
[Spirit]1811.09
[Energy Level]6265.32
[Equipment, Skills, Traits, etc.]Omitted
Looking at the panel in front of him, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but smile even more.
After advancing to the General Tier, both his [Spirit] and [Energy Level] nearly doubled! Although his Constitution only increased by about 40%, considering he already had a King Tier Constitution Attribute at the Fierce Tier, this increase was already satisfying.
After all, even his relatively weaker [Spirit] and [Energy Level] attributes were equivalent to crossing a major tier compared to the Ordinary Awakened.
Besides the Basic Attributes, the biggest change was the Class Bonus.
"Who would have thought that the General Tier is merely equivalent to the mid to late stage of Foundation Establishment."
You should know that in a small city on Blue Star, a powerhouse of the General Tier was a figure of influence, an absolute mainstay among the Blue Star Awakened.
"I wonder what tier it takes to become Golden Core, and what are the equivalents of Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation?"
This made Chu Xiu unable to imagine the brilliance and prosperity of the Demon Sect at its peak.
"[Heroic Spirits] everywhere, [Demigods] as common as dogs?"
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
He shook his head and stopped thinking, focusing instead on the new class bonuses.
Compared to before, aside from the comprehensive increase in bonus values, the biggest change was an additional line in the Magical Techniques and Divine Techniques Power Bonus.
[Foundation Establishment Skill enjoys one-fifth bonus]
Don’t underestimate this mere one-fifth; when converted to specific values, it’s a full 50% power increase!
In short, the improvement from just advancing in tier had at least doubled or tripled Chu Xiu’s actual strength compared to before!
And as a Demon Cultivator, the most important thing is, of course—
A brand new heritage!
Chu Xiu eagerly checked it out.
First, naturally, was the directly unlocked innate heritage.
[Myriad Ghosts Gu Cultivation Method: Use a certain number of Same Tier Ghosts in a Soul Banner, fighting and refining them with special techniques. Survivors have a certain chance to advance in tier. The more Ghosts used and the higher the Skill Level, the greater the chance of tier advancement. The maximum number of Ghosts used depends on the Ghosts’ strength and Skill Level.]
[Note: During the fighting and refining process, Life Energy must be continuously replenished.]
[Current Skill Level: Beginner]
[Maximum Ghosts used: 1453 Fierce Ghosts, 17 Ghost Generals, 3 High-tier Ghost Generals]
[Tier Advancement Probability Bonus: 0]
This newly unlocked heritage made Chu Xiu frown slightly.
"Myriad Ghosts Gu Cultivation Method? A method to advance oneself by killing and devouring similar beings?"
"It sounds good, but doesn’t the cost seem too high?"
It requires not only consuming similar Ghosts but also continuously replenishing Life Energy!
In that case, why not just use Life Energy directly to advance the Ghosts?
Chu Xiu thought for a moment and caught a hundred Fierce Ghosts with a Level 9 strength, silently activating [Perfect Refining] in his mind.
And soon, an information stream poured into Chu Xiu’s mind.
[Ghosts used: 100 Fierce Ghosts, Tier Advancement Probability: 37.4%-67.5%, Required Life Energy: 100*188]
"Damn it!"
The information flooding his mind made Chu Xiu roll his eyes.
The requirement of Life Energy 188*100 means he needs the complete flesh and blood of roughly a hundred creatures with a Constitution around 188 to meet the refinement requirement.
And if the total Life Energy is insufficient, the Tier Advancement Probability will drop sharply!
This left Chu Xiu speechless.
Typically, only Fierce Tier creatures reach a Constitution of 188!
"A hundred Fierce Tier creatures’ worth of Life Energy is more than enough for directly advancing a Ghost General!"
"Not to mention, with such a hefty price, the Tier Advancement Probability is at most two-thirds!"
Even if he later increases this Skill’s Proficiency to raise the Refinement Probability to a hundred percent, it would still be a significant loss!
"No, each heritage of the Demon Cultivator is meticulously chosen, and it can’t be useless!"
"Moreover, the first heritage of each tier often involves crucial foundational heritage."
Chu Xiu pondered for a while, quickly realizing the purpose of this heritage.
"This heritage isn’t for refining low-level Ghosts!"
"It’s for refining... Ghost King!"
After realizing this, Chu Xiu suddenly understood.
When he previously refined the Thousand Souls Banner, there was a notification saying that to refine the next stage, the Myriad Souls Banner, a Ghost King is required!
Similarly, another notification indicated that Ghost King is almost impossible to be born postnatally, so most cultivators end up with their Soul Banner at the threshold of a Thousand Souls Banner!
"The tier of a High-tier Ghost General is King Tier, so the rank of a Ghost King is most likely [Heroic Spirit]."
