C56 Small Chiliocosm Eight Nine Profound Arts
Ding! System upgrade in progress...
Roughly ten seconds tick by.
Ding! System upgrade complete. Activating the new feature: Small Chiliocosm...
Ding! Small Chiliocosm is now active, with the original pet space integrated into it.
Ding! The Kunlun Secret Realm has been incorporated into the Small Chiliocosm.
Ding! The Eight Nine Profound Arts are now shared with the host's level of cultivation.
A flurry of system alerts continued to chime. Qin Buyi ceased his play and attentively perused the introduction to the newly unlocked Small Chiliocosm.
Once Qin Buyi had finished with the Small Chiliocosm briefing, his eyes sparkled with wonder.
"This feature is absolutely revolutionary."
The Small Chiliocosm's remarkable ability allows for the unrestricted absorption of secret realms, planets, and entire worlds.
This notion of being without limits was intriguing. If Qin Buyi's cultivation were powerful enough and he continued to advance it, he might one day completely assimilate all realms into the Small Chiliocosm.
Then, Qin Buyi would indeed become the legitimate sovereign of all worlds.
Beyond this revolutionary capability, the Small Chiliocosm boasted numerous other functions.
For instance, Qin Buyi's combat strength would be significantly enhanced within the Small Chiliocosm.
The more formidable the Small Chiliocosm became, the more pronounced this enhancement would be.
As Qin Buyi absorbed additional secret realms, planets, and worlds, the Small Chiliocosm would grow increasingly abundant inside.
Eventually, it would transform into a genuine world, spawning its own forces of law and nurturing life within the Small Chiliocosm.
In time, a myriad of races and powers would intermingle, and Qin Buyi, as the master of the Small Chiliocosm, would reign supreme.
It was even conceivable that one day, when all worlds converged, they might revert to a primitive state, with Qin Buyi as the sovereign of this reborn ancient era.
The thought of such a possibility filled Qin Buyi with both exhilaration and a shiver of fear.
Should the outside world discover Qin Buyi's extraordinary capabilities, the Almighty might descend in the very next moment, seize him, and subject him to scrutiny.
"This secret must remain mine alone; the fallout of it becoming known is too dire to contemplate."
Containing his excitement, Qin Buyi opened his personal information panel and allocated the fifty-point attribute reward to himself.

After adding the attributes, Qin Buyi's cultivation advanced to the Late Period of Void Refining.
Unexpectedly, his Divine Consciousness also made a breakthrough to the Early Period of Combination.
This breakthrough in Divine Consciousness signified that Qin Buyi's combat strength was set to escalate to a new tier.
Paired with the Soul Dispersing Saber Technique, Qin Buyi was now nearly on par with those at the Early Period of Combination.
The war mission rewards included two items: 50 attribute points and the first volume of the Eight Nine Profound Arts.
Having made his breakthrough, Qin Buyi accessed the cultivation technique panel to explore the Eight Nine Profound Arts' introduction.
Eight Nine Profound Arts Volume One - Fifth Rank (434/500)
Body Strength Increase: 2.5 times.
Synopsis: The maximum number for Yin is eight, and for Yang, it is nine. Multiplying eight by nine yields the universe's supreme number, hence the existence of nine palaces and eight trigrams.
This volume encompasses various divine abilities and spells. Mastering the seventy-two transformations allows one to morph anything in the world—birds, beasts, mountains, stones, plants, and all elements within the Yin and Yang—into anything else. The art of transformation lies in the mastery of one's mind...
(With the mastery of the profound mysteries of the Eight Nine Profound Arts, you may traverse the world with impunity. - Taoist Priest Yuding)
A smile graced Qin Buyi's lips as he finished reading about the Eight Nine Profound Arts.
The most tangible benefit of the Eight Nine Profound Arts was the significant enhancement to his physical strength.
With Qin Buyi's current level of cultivation, such an extraordinary boost was more than sufficient to endow him with formidable might.
Given Qin Buyi's current level of cultivation, the unreasonable increase in strength was enough to endow his physical body with a terrifying level of resilience. It's no exaggeration to say that if he were to stand still and take the brunt of an attack from a cultivator in the early period of Void Refining, even the complete depletion of the attacker's spiritual energy might not suffice to penetrate Qin Buyi's defenses.
Yet, this isn't even the pinnacle of the Eight Nine Profound Arts. The true might of this technique lies in its inclusion of supreme divine abilities such as Land Crossing Golden Light, Heavenly Dharma, Seventy-two Transformations, Indestructible Body, and Samadhi True Fire. However, these divine abilities are all listed in gray on the cultivation technique panel, indicating that Qin Buyi must gather them himself to unlock their use. Until then, he can only yearn as he reads their descriptions.
Ding! A Small Chiliocosm mission is triggered: Absorb two Secret Realms within three days. There is no penalty for failure. The reward for completing the mission is one of the divine abilities from the Eight Nine Profound Arts, Heavenly Dharma.
Upon seeing the freshly updated mission, Qin Buyi can't help but chuckle to himself. "Talk about timing—it's like the universe has handed me a pillow just as I'm about to sleep." Just moments ago, he was pondering how to acquire the divine abilities from the Eight Nine Profound Arts, and now, as if in answer, the mission appears. The two Secret Realms mentioned are undoubtedly the Fire Cloud Secret Realm and the Water Moon Secret Realm.
Qin Buyi's spirits are high. He has just completed a war mission, significantly bolstering his strength. The system upgrade has unlocked the extraordinary feature of the Small Chiliocosm, along with the formidable and seemingly unreasonable Eight Nine Profound Arts. The only slight disappointment is that Qin Buyi has only acquired the first volume of the technique.
With his Divine Consciousness, Qin Buyi surveys the Kunlun Secret Realm, or rather, the Small Chiliocosm. As its master, his Divine Consciousness can reach every nook and cranny within. "Have all the cultivators at the Void Refining Stage disappeared?" In the Small Chiliocosm, the highest level among the disciples of the Kunlun Secret Realm is the Deification Stage. It's no wonder the Void Refining Stage is absent; after all, such cultivators are not common, especially in a place like Blue Star where spiritual energy is scarce.
It's no wonder, after all, reaching the Void Refining Stage isn't as common as cabbages, especially not on Blue Star, where the spiritual energy is so scarce. In the entire Kunlun Secret Realm, there were only six cultivators at the Void Refining Stage, and Qin Buyi had vanquished them all.
Withdrawing his Divine Consciousness, Qin Buyi's voice echoed throughout the Small Chiliocosm: "You have fifteen minutes to vanish from the Secret Realm!"
The disciples of the Kunlun Secret Realm bristled at the command, their indignation simmering beneath the surface. Yet, considering Qin Buyi's formidable power, they swallowed their protests. Anyone with half a brain could see the writing on the wall by now.
The seasoned disciples of the realm exchanged glances, their resignation palpable. "It's time to leave. The Kunlun Secret Realm as we know it is no more."
"Sigh, it looks like our elders have suffered a grim fate."
"There's no point lingering. All the resources were always funneled to the Zhang and Woo families, and the elders' factions. We, the rank-and-file disciples, didn't even get the scraps."
"Why should I stay put with my abilities? Outside this place, I can command the elements. I'm not about to waste away here."
While some disciples of the Kunlun Secret Realm felt a pang of sorrow, others quickly began to gather their belongings, showing no signs of attachment.
With a mere thought from Qin Buyi, a colossal portal materialized above the disciples' heads. As the ruler of the Small Chiliocosm, he now had the power to manipulate the realm's gateways at will, unlike the Ancestor Kunxu and the others who had to anchor them to specific locations.
