Of course, the information obtained from consuming 30 yi points was extraordinary.
They were not clear, specific encyclopedias, but rather like a seed containing the world's underlying logic and endless fragmented knowledge, deeply implanted into Chu Yi's consciousness.
This information was vast and complex, touching upon many fundamental Laws and key nodes of the world's operation—from the basic composition of matter and energy to the universal paths of life's evolution.
From vague imprints of certain decisive moments in the long river of history to a few faint traces of future possibilities.
They were not exhaustive truths, but rather fragments of information and segments of Laws scattered in the Sea of Consciousness.
If Chu Yi could continuously dig, understand, and integrate this information, he would undoubtedly possess insight and potential far exceeding ordinary people on a cognitive level.
Even if his talent disappeared in the future, the core understanding of these settled Laws and his sensitivity to key nodes would be enough to give him a transcendent vision and the Foundation to deal with complex situations.
However, the vastness of the information far exceeded Chu Yi's current capacity to bear.
Most of the content was instinctively compressed and sealed in the deepest parts of his memory, not readily accessible archives.
They were more like a passive, associative existence—only when he encountered a specific 'key,' such as witnessing a strange plant, hearing an ancient historical legend, or facing a concrete problem, would related information fragments appear as suggestive clues.
For example, seeing that plant, a vague warning about its toxicity or some characteristic might flash in his mind, or a fragmented memory about the growth environment of similar species.
Hearing that historical event, he might vaguely perceive a hidden motive behind the event, or a subtle turning point in a key figure's fate.
These emerging pieces of information were often scattered, requiring him to interpret and verify them in conjunction with the current situation, rather than complete and clear answers.
Even so, Chu Yi understood that true 'omniscience' was still far from possible.
The only constant Law in the world is change itself—everything is in eternal flux, and even the most exquisite deduction can be completely overturned by a tiny, unpredictable variable.
What he gained was, after all, a 'map of possibilities' deduced based on past and present Laws, not a definite future blueprint.
Therefore, he must never rely on this information to try and control everything, but rather view it as a unique auxiliary perspective, a potential knowledge mine, helping him to see a little clearer, judge a little more accurately, and thus walk more steadily and further in this ever-changing world.
Chu Yi withdrew his wandering thoughts, slowly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze were two pairs of eyes filled with worry.
He curled his lips slightly, revealing a reassuring smile.
Seeing his expression, Chu An and Chu Yue's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
Chu Yi pondered for a moment, then silently recited in his mind: 【Manifest two basic world information Legacy orbs, adapted for absorption by ordinary people.】
【 -1 yi point 】
【 Remaining yi points: 973 】
Silently, two crystalline light orbs appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The orbs were clear as crystal, with fine golden light particles flowing within, like a miniature galaxy.
Faint purple energy ripples surrounded their surface, and mysterious runes flickered in the halo.
When light passed over them, countless tiny characters and images could be seen flashing and dancing within—that was the most basic common sense and rules of a world, waiting to be received in the gentlest way.
Chu Yi gently pushed the two light orbs towards them, saying softly, "Relax your minds and accept it."
Chu An and Chu Yue exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and simultaneously reached out to touch the light orbs.
In an instant, the light orbs transformed into countless tiny light particles, flowing into their glabella like a river of stars.
Their pupils widened slightly, and countless information streams seemed to flash in their eyes, only to settle down in a blink.
A moment later, Chu Yue was the first to open her eyes.
Her gaze was no longer as naive and innocent as before, but held a few more traces of clarity and serenity.
Her previously somewhat lively demeanor became more introverted, and her every movement carried a natural composure.
Chu An's change was even more pronounced.
His originally steady demeanor now had a profoundness like a deep pool or a towering mountain.
When he looked around, his gaze no longer just lingered on the surface, but instinctively analyzed the structure, material properties, and even the potential energy flow patterns of the surrounding trees.
"How do you feel?"
Chu Yi asked with a smile.
Chu Yue gently stroked her hair, her voice tinged with a hint of disbelief: "It's like... suddenly seeing many things that were previously blurry."
She pointed to a bird in the sky, "I can now tell its species, migration route, and even bone structure, but this knowledge doesn't feel unfamiliar to me."
Chu An said in a deep voice, "What's even more amazing is the change in my way of thinking."
He picked up a fallen leaf from the ground, "In the past, seeing it would only make me think of wilting; now, I can simultaneously think of the efficiency of photosynthesis, the optimal distribution structure of the leaf veins..."
He paused, then shook his head and chuckled, "This feeling is like suddenly gaining another pair of eyes to observe the world."
The aura emanating from the two of them was already different.
If they were like unpolished jade before, now they were like precious artifacts sculpted by a Great Master—still retaining their authentic quality, but with an added glow of wisdom from within.
Even their posture subtly changed: Chu Yue no longer unconsciously wiggled her toes, and Chu An no longer always tensed his shoulders; both displayed a just-right sense of relaxation and confidence.
The most significant change was reflected in their eyes.
As the morning light filtered through the leaves, one could clearly see the rational brilliance flowing in their eyes—it was not dull bookishness, but rather the clarity and insight that naturally settled after being steeped in thousands of volumes of poetry and books.
Chu Yi's expression became solemn, his gaze sharp, as he stared intently at the two: "Having been beggars for many years, you should understand, and even more so, remember, that no matter when or where, the Law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and might makes right, is an eternal and unchanging truth!"
"And right now, very fortunately, we hold in our hands an opportunity that can change our destiny."
Chu An and Chu Yue exchanged glances, both understanding the longing in each other's eyes.
They had truly had enough of the days of being scorned and starving.
"Big Brother,"
Chu An clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly, "This time, we will definitely seize this opportunity."
Chu Yue nodded gently, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the short blade at her waist: "We know better than anyone... people without power don't even have the right to choose how they die."
Chu Yi slowly took out the yellowed Martial Dao Secret Manual from his embrace; the faded words "Beggar Clan Foundation Establishment Manual" were faintly visible on the cover.
This was the only valuable item he found on the Old Beggar's body—an introductory Cultivation Technique prepared by the Beggar Clan for its lower-ranking members, barely enough to allow one to step from an ordinary person into the threshold of a Martial Artist.
His fingertips gently caressed the rough pages, and he silently recited in his mind: 【Using this Cultivation Technique as a Foundation, deduce a top-tier Cultivation Technique for the True Martial Realm. It must satisfy: 1. Be perfectly compatible with my Physique characteristics; 2. Be able to subtly transform my Foundation and ultimately achieve a Dao Body; 3. Possess the special effect of being able to enter a state of Dao comprehension at any time. How many yi points are needed?】
【 10000 yi points 】
The crimson numbers flickered on his retina, and Chu Yi's mouth twitched.
He glanced at the remaining 973 yi points, shaking his head self-deprecatingly.
He had thought nearly a thousand yi points was a huge sum, but he didn't expect it couldn't even buy a decent Cultivation Technique.
"As expected..."
He smiled bitterly to himself, his knuckles tapping the Secret Manual's cover.
Cultivation Techniques that change Aptitude are already precious, let alone one that can bring a person close to the 'Dao' through a special Physique.
But Chu Yi was not discouraged—this quote instead verified his conjecture.
He gazed at the flowing clouds in the sky, his thoughts gradually drifting.
The core of the 【Yi】 talent lies in "influence," just like throwing a stone into a lake; how far the ripples spread depends on the size of the stone and the force of the throw.
If he could Cultivate a Physique that allowed for immediate Dao comprehension, combined with his almost omniscient advantage...
The yi points he would gain then would be an unimaginably astronomical number.
Thinking of this, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable surge of excitement and anticipation in his heart.
Chu An's sudden cough interrupted his thoughts.
Chu Yi snapped back to reality, finding Chu An and Chu Yue staring at the Secret Manual in his hand with curious eyes.
He casually tossed the book to Chu An, the pages fluttering in the air with a rustling sound: "You two ponder this first."
After speaking, he sat cross-legged, palms facing upwards, closing his eyes to focus his mind.
He silently asked in his mind: 【How many yi points are needed to deduce to the Innate Realm?】
【 300 】
Seeing this number, Chu Yi's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
Thankfully, it was still within an acceptable range.
He no longer hesitated, and decisively said: 【Deduce it to the Innate Realm】
【 -300 yi points 】
【 Remaining yi points: 673 】
In an instant, a massive amount of information poured into his Sea of Consciousness like a clear spring. Unlike the excruciating pain of receiving world information last time, this time it was like a gentle spring rain, silently nourishing everything.
But when Chu Yi carefully "read" through the content, he couldn't help but smile bitterly—he recognized every word, but strung together they were like a heavenly book.
"Indeed..."
He shook his head to himself, "Even with my talent Awakened, my wooden head is still that wooden head."
【 Consume yi points to thoroughly comprehend it 】
【 -3 yi points 】
【 Remaining yi points: 670 】
This time, the change was completely different.
The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand words suddenly came alive before Chu Yi's eyes; each stroke seemed to be infused with life, leaping and flowing in the Void Realm.
They automatically arranged and combined in Chu Yi's Sea of Consciousness, transforming into vivid Cultivation scenes, accompanied by clear and thorough theoretical explanations.
In an instant, Chu Yi had an epiphany, his understanding of the Cultivation method reaching an unprecedented Realm.
He not only fully grasped the essence of each Cultivation step but also clearly understood how to guide the flow of Qi and blood within his Physical Body.
Those unique circulation routes, the methods for tempering Meridians and bones, and even the key techniques for Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, were all as clear as lines in his palm.
【 How many yi points are needed to Breakthrough to the Innate Realm? 】
【 Promotion to Innate Realm requires 375 yi points 】
"Promote!"
Chu Yi's eyes were like lightning, and he commanded in a deep voice in his heart without hesitation.
【 yi points - 375 】
【 Current yi point balance: 295 】
In an instant, a majestic energy poured into Chu Yi's limbs and bones from the Void Realm.
His bones emitted crisp cracking sounds, muscle fibers intertwined and reorganized like steel wires, and the surface of his skin gleamed with a bronze metallic luster.
Refining Skin Realm (Copper Skin) → Flesh Refinement Realm (Iron Flesh) → Refining Tendon Realm (Dragon Tendons) → Refining Bone Realm (Jade Bones) → Refining Marrow Realm (Mercury Blood) → Blood Exchange Realm (Nirvana)!
Each Realm Breakthrough was accompanied by intense pain, but Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged, as if these pains were merely a gentle breeze.
His blood surged through his veins like mercury, emitting a thunderous roar;
His bones radiated a crystalline jade color, and deep within his bone marrow, a blazing True Martial flame ignited.
When the last trace of mortal blood was burned away by the Nirvana True Fire, and new blood flowed like crimson gold, Chu Yi's Physical Body completely shed its mortal shell, achieving the Innate Dao Body!
However, this was not yet the end—
"Heaven and Earth Bridge, open!"
Deep within Chu Yi's Dantian, the originally sparse True Qi suddenly collapsed, transforming into a drop of liquid True Essence.
The moment this drop of True Essence formed, it madly devoured the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi like a black hole.
His Baihui and Yongquan acupoints simultaneously lit up with brilliant light, as if constructing a bridge connecting heaven and earth within his body.
—Innate Realm, achieved!
...
When Chu Yi opened his eyes again, a galaxy seemed to flow within them, and his aura was profound and steady like a mountain. Just sitting there, he exuded a sense of oppressive power like a towering peak.
Chu An and Chu Yue had already retreated several feet away, staring at him with faces full of shock.
"Big Brother, you..."
Chu An's throat bobbed, his voice dry.
Although he had not Cultivated, the aura Chu Yi naturally emitted at this moment made him instinctively tremble, as if facing an awakened primordial beast.
Chu Yue's pupils constricted even further, her fingers unconsciously clutching the corner of her clothes.
In her vision, a faint golden halo lingered around Chu Yi, and each breath he took caused the surrounding air to subtly tremble, like an Immortal descending to the mortal world from myth.
Chu Yi slowly stood up and gently clenched his fist.
"Boom—!"
The lake surface suddenly rippled without wind, and a circle of ripples spread out from Chu Yi's center.
The reeds on the shore swayed violently, startling a few water birds, and the calm lake surface was stirred into fine droplets, refracting fragmented light in the sunlight.
"Power..." Chu Yi murmured, a satisfied arc curving at the corner of his mouth.
