Besides the Basic Qi Refining Heart Skill and Basic Sword Formulas, Su Yu has two techniques that can evolve, namely the Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill and the Geng Metal Sword Fiend.

Geng Metal Sword Fiend (Dao Foundation): Sword Qi damage +4000 points, Sword Qi sharpness +4000 points, with a high chance to cut off flying swords below the sixth tier, or cause certain damage to artifacts below the sixth tier.

This originally included the Thousand-Layered Sword Net, but now it has fused into the Time Sword Net.

Each level increases Qi and Blood +30,000, Mana +3,000, Physique +300, Strength +500, Speed +200.

Besides a comprehensive enhancement in power, several derived Dao techniques have also changed in other aspects.

Firstly, the Escape Skill can now take another person along, just like when the ancestor took Su Yu before.

Meanwhile, the Grapple skill can now simultaneously form two grappling hands after Foundation Establishment, doubling its power.

Additionally, the Sword Control Technique, long suppressed by realm limitations, has naturally improved, with Entering and Leaving the Cyan Nether and Sword Control over a Thousand Miles both advancing to the third level. The maximum attack distance of Sword Control has increased from ten kilometers to one hundred kilometers, greatly expanding the combat range.

Closing the personal attribute panel, Su Yu’s gaze once again falls on the sect treasury exchange panel, carefully browsing briefly, and quickly selects several Dao techniques.

A dual cultivation method.

Pure Yang Qi Intimacy Technique (Profound level): A dual cultivation method that gathers Pure Yang Qi to refine a Pure Yang body, needs to pair with the Taiyin Maiden Energy Cultivation Technique.

Taiyin Maiden Energy Cultivation Technique (Profound level): A dual cultivation method that gathers Profound Yin Qi to refine a Taiyin body, must pair with the Pure Yang Qi Intimacy Technique.

These two dual cultivation methods make up a set, which can be exchanged for with one major achievement.

A method for external transformation—Trinity Body Technique, this method is similar to the legendary One Qi Transforms Three Purities, allowing up to three external transformations, and requires one major achievement to exchange.

A body refining method.

He now possesses the Four-Heads Eight-Arms Battle True Body, such a powerful physique that not refining the body would be a waste.

Previously, his energy was limited, making it impossible to learn a powerful body refining method. Now that he has successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation and his cultivation speed has slowed, taking a hundred years to perfect the Dao Foundation is perfectly normal. In such a long time, engaging in body refining alongside cultivation will not affect the speed of his progress.

It is worth mentioning that Su Yu’s practice of the Body Refining Skill now, compared to before Foundation Establishment, has little impact on the Dao Foundation.

Because the strongest Dao Foundation is the Super-grade Immortal Foundation, he had accumulated enough before to establish the Immortal Foundation; at that time, refining the body or not would not have affected his Immortal Foundation establishment.

Moreover, at that time, he didn’t have immortal skills to exchange for the supreme body refining method. If he casually learned one, after the Immortal Foundation was established, the skill would be fixed and couldn’t be changed, ultimately being a loss.

Furthermore, practicing body refining techniques now, once raised to level 100, can be integrated into the Immortal Foundation, with little overall impact.

After all, the cultivation of the Dao Foundation is a continuous process of perfection, during which many Dao techniques or Divine Techniques can be practiced to continuously expand and perfect the Dao Foundation, ultimately reaching the limit and condensing the Immortal Golden Elixir.

Su Yu, relying on his identity as a Dao-seed, can exchange for all the main and branch lineages’ skills within his sect, which includes the Nine Extremes Lineage’s full body refining methods from the six major lineages of this sect, which specialize in body refining.

And the Nine Extremes Lineage has a supreme-level body refining method known as the Nine Extremes Meritorious True Skill.

Nine Extremes Meritorious True Skill (Supreme): The highest body refining method of the Nine Extremes Lineage, can cultivate an indestructible body.

Each level increase provides Qi and Blood +10,000, Physique +300, Strength +500, Speed +100 km, Qi and Blood regeneration +10 points/second.

This supreme body refining method, when raised to level 100, will grant up to 1 million Qi and Blood, 30,000 Physique, 50,000 Strength, and 10,000 km speed, with a life regeneration of up to 1000 per second.

But this is not the limit.

Su Yu’s eyes fall on the panel, with a slight ripple of light passing over, the panel changes.

"Bingo!"

The talent has been activated.

Nine Extremes Meritorious True Skill (Supreme): The highest body refining method of the Nine Extremes Lineage, can cultivate an indestructible body.

Each level increase provides Qi and Blood +20,000, Physique +600, Strength +1000, Speed +200 km, Qi and Blood regeneration +20 points/second.

First-level derivative: Ming Force, internal and external force unite, with each strike delivering maximum attack.
