Chapter 5: The First Hunt
Back in the secure confines of his new home, Rhys sat cross-legged on the stone floor and delved back into the System’s interface.
He needed a complete inventory of his new assets. He called up the status screen again, but this time, he focused his intent on the line item for his foundation.
The text expanded, providing a wealth of new information.
[Foundation: Void-Tempered Immortal Body (Tier: Transcendent)]
[Description: A theoretical foundation that has been successfully actualised. The host’s body has been deconstructed and reforged with trace amounts of void energy, granting a vessel of unparalleled potential in the Mortal World.]
[Passive Abilities]
Void Affinity: The body naturally absorbs ambient Qi at a slow but constant rate, purifying it automatically. Cultivation efficiency is increased by 1000%.
Metaphysical Resilience: The body possesses extreme resistance to all elemental energies, as well as common poisons, toxins, and curses.
Flawless Regeneration: As long as the host possesses a lifespan, the body will actively regenerate from any injury. Minor wounds heal in seconds, and major injuries in minutes. Complete cellular reconstruction is possible.
Rhys read through the list, trying hard to remain calm but grinning from ear to ear anyway. He had known it was good.
After all, his foundation was of the Transcendent tier. But this was on another level entirely.
His Qi absorption rate wasn’t that absurd. While his absorption of Qi was same as any cultivator, with Void Affinity, all the Qi he absorbed was also purified simultaneously.
