Calamity of Tomorrow

Transformation level reached 59.9%

At this moment, Zhou Bai's consciousness paused slightly. He felt as if there was an obstruction within his Primordial Spirit, but in the next moment, that obstruction, like a sheet of white paper, was easily breached by him. His transformation level rose directly to 60%.

"Finally reached the sixth realm..."

Each point of increase in the transformation level brought about great enhancement to a cultivator's combat power. As various levels of cultivation rose, each star point on the spiritual map advanced further.

Especially with a milestone like 60%, the enhancement was tremendous.

Specifically, Zhou Bai's Nine Calamities Celestial Chart consisting of laziness, poverty, ugliness, decline, foolishness, greed... had simply improved in every aspect of his being.

In the process accompanied by the frenzied increase in his transformation level, Zhou Bai was able to clearly feel that his talent, Primordial Spirit, and physical body... the all-around cultivation and combat strength were welcoming an explosive surge.

'Now, I imagine I could break through the debates of Daluo Heaven from before, without using any equipment or techniques, simply relying on the strength of my Primordial Spirit and physical body.'

The power of his Primordial Spirit uncontrollably flowed out from his body, forcing Xuan Nu to step back repeatedly until she put on the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor to stabilize herself and stop retreating.

Christina in the sea of consciousness also sighed, "Elsa, come out and look at this amazing display."

"How many times have I told you, this is not a cheat. I just cultivate faster than others."

Between the opening and closing of Zhou Bai's eyes, streaks of electricity sparked with the fierce friction of the air.

The surrounding rocks and soil all began to crack continuously, as if being constantly compressed by an invisible force.

Suddenly having gained too much strength, Zhou Bai had not even completely controlled it yet when the power continuously flowed out from his body.

Xuan Nu watched this scene in shock, uncertainly asking, "Zhou Bai... have you... already broken through to the sixth realm?"

Zhou Bai nodded and looked at his palms, slowly saying, "Yes, I have entered the sixth realm. But it is just the beginning of the sixth realm, I still need to cultivate the spiritual map."

Xuan Nu exclaimed, "That was fast."

At this moment, Zhou Bai also did not yet know how much stronger he had become, all that would need to be tested later.

But now, he had no time for testing and instead looked forward to the next layer of the spiritual map.

"Would you like to spend 1 million laziness points to unlock the Madness Chart?"

The very next instant, Zhou Bai's laziness points were reduced from 4.5 million to 3.5 million.

Auxiliary cultivation system updating...

Please wait...

At that moment, Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness turned blank, the change this time seemed too vast. Despite the robustness of his Primordial Spirit, there seemed to be no signs of recovery for a while.

At that time, a cat's paw stretched directly from the back of his head, flattened down with a slap, and Zhou Bai immediately returned to normal.

Seeing the cat's paw extending and then retracting from the back of Zhou Bai's head, Xuan Nu thought admiringly: 'The abnormalities in Zhou Bai's body are truly boundless.'

As the laziness points were consumed, on the Taiyin Roulette deep within Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, a new layer of the spiritual map also emerged.

"Mad map? Let me see what power you truly possess."

Zhou Bai looked at the first star point of the mad map.

"The first star point, the fifth star point, and the last ninth star point, often signify qualitative changes."

Madness-Truth Color: Madness is a gift, and one of the craziest things humans have ever done in their lengthy history is to be truthful...

Cultivation method: Rough glance.

Laziness (0/3.2 million)

Zhou Bai looked at the first star point and immediately spent 3.2 million laziness points on it, reducing his laziness points to just 300,000 in an instant.

At the same time, indistinct, incomprehensible cries echoed in his mind, and when he tried to listen carefully to what the voices were saying, they had already vanished, and the star point had been successfully cultivated.

Then Zhou Bai closely read the content within the star point and found that it was quite extensive and somewhat beyond his expectations.

"It can consume 30 degrees of contamination to afflict the target with the seed of madness. The target seeded will become my follower.

As long as the follower believes every word I say after planting the seed, I can almost unrestrictedly harvest or bestow the contamination within them."

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, "As long as they believe my every word, then I can harvest or bestow contamination; this is really useful, especially when combined with the ability of the Fool's Map..."

In an instant, Zhou Bai had seemingly thought of over a dozen ways to utilize this, various strategies to deal with enemies.

He continued reading: "The seed of madness can only be planted once. Once the follower doubts any statement I make after planting the seed, the seed will disappear, and they will no longer be able to receive my blessings; I will be unable to harvest or bestow contamination within them."

Zhou Bai nodded, "Even a single doubt is unacceptable? This requirement really is stringent; hardly anyone would ever fully believe every single statement another person makes."

Zhou Bai then read on: "The followers will periodically enter a forced state of truthfulness, the longer someone remains a follower, the longer the duration of forced truthfulness."

Zhou Bai's interest was slightly piqued, "This is also very useful. If I want to uncover the true cause of the extinction of Homo sapiens, this ability will be extremely helpful."

He was quite satisfied with the abilities of the first star point of the mad map, especially as he discerned a possible path of development for the mad map.

"Mad map... It may be meant to strengthen my companions, or perhaps my subordinates, my forces. If combined with the Primordial Spirit Armament of the Greed Map, perhaps I can quickly cultivate a group of subordinates, or should I say..."

Zhou Bai's gaze swept over the introduction of the first star point and he murmured, "Followers?"

Next, Zhou Bai looked at the most crucial part—how to implant the seed of madness.

He then saw Zhou Bai extend a finger, and instantly 30 points of contamination were extracted from within his body, turning at his fingertip into a continuously pulsating, twisting clump of black mud, like a living thing, emitting waves of foul odor.

"This is the Madness Seed," Zhou Bai thought, looking at the mystic female beside him, "Let's have the mystic female try it first."

After all, at this moment, the mystic female still hadn't earned Zhou Bai's complete, one hundred percent trust. Indeed, after so many events, brushes with madness and distortion, repeated exposure to the ugliness of human nature, countless betrayals and backstabbings, and repeated revelations of the truth and alternations of standings.

Now in this world, Zhou Bai could hardly think of anyone whom he could trust wholeheartedly; it seemed everyone could be doubted, anyone might become his enemy.

Zhou Bai looked at the mystic female, who naturally couldn't make him trust her completely.

"The mystic female herself should be quite capable of enduring the contamination I bestow. Moreover, the seed of madness will disappear if she does not trust me, which might turn back on me at any moment. The seed will alert me to her distrust, serving as a safeguard."

With this in mind, Zhou Bai looked at the mystic female and said, "This is a new ability I've acquired, the seed of madness. To accept it, you must trust me wholeheartedly. If you succeed in accepting it, you will be able to share my power. Are you willing?"
