Chapter 77: Authority
A bright prompt appeared in front of Chu Wuyao's eyes, flashing continuously.
[A suitable Authority has been detected. Do you wish to absorb it?]
[Yes/No]
Chu Wuyao didn't spend much time thinking about it and immediately pressed yes.
She believed that the system wouldn't trick her!
The moment she pressed yes, the complicated white rune that she was holding in her hand instantly disappeared.
The next second, Chu Wuyao felt the same white rune appearing in her mind, before flashing away.
Right away, Chu Wuyao knew that some change had taken place in her, although she couldn't know what exactly this change was.
With no one to ask, she could only look for help from her trusted companion: the system.
With a thought of her mind, the system panel appeared in her field of vision.
[Name: Chu Wuyao]
[Race: Devil]
[Devil Rank: Young Devil]
[Cultivation: 9th Level of Qi Accumulation]
[Blood Demon Body: 9th Level - Equivalent to the 9th Level of Qi Accumulation]
[Techniques: Original Desire Sutra]
[Skills: Mist Domain(5721/20000), Lifeblood Flame(451/10000), Blood Slave Creation(103/1000)]
[Devil Abilities: Devil Contract(0.1%), Camouflage(0.7%), Devil Summoning(0.1%), Devil Body(0.9%)]
[Authorities: Mist World(Seed)]
[Sin Points: 50]
When Chu Wuyao looked at the panel that was displaying her information, she found that it had undergone massive changes just like she was originally expecting.
Both her cultivation and body cultivation had reached the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm and she was no longer able to improve them, while the proficiency of her skills had also increased by leaps and bounds.
The Mist Domain improved as a result of the enlightenment, while the Lifeblood Flame and the Blood Slave Creation had improved as a result of her frequent use of them.
For the first two skills, this increase only brought an increase in their power, but for the Blood Slave Creation skill, this increase brought some changes.
Chu Wuyao focused her eyes on the Blood Slave Creation skill and in the blink of an eye, its description appeared right in front of her eyes.
She ignored the first part and focused on the final information.
[The Blood Slave's strength after their transformation is dependent on their previous strength.]
[Mortal-Blood Slave's Strength: 1st Level of Qi Accumulation]
[Cultivator-Blood Slave's Strength: 3rd Level of Qi Accumulation]
Compared to before, the strength of her Blood Slaves had slightly increased.
Even though this change wasn't enough to enhance her combat power, Chu Wuyao felt that she was getting closer and closer to realizing her dream of overwhelming her opponents through sheer numbers.
Apart from her skills, one of her abilities' proficiency, the Devil Body's had also increased by quite a lot and a new addition had appeared in its description.
[Devil Body: You possess extremely high regenerative abilities, supreme adaptability and extraordinary combat learning abilities and intuition. Through the use of your blood, you can intimidate those around you.]
Chu Wuyao guessed that this change was the result of her swallowing the bloodline of the Mist Dragon.
After all, from the information she had read in the sect's books, she knew that dragons had the ability to exude a majestic aura and suppress the creatures around them.
This ability was commonly known as Dragon's Majesty and it was actually very suitable for slaughtering weak creatures.
After Chu Wuyao glanced at these changes, her attention turned to the new column that had appeared at the very bottom of the system panel, the [Authorities] column.
Unfortunately, the column was painted in gray color, as if it was currently locked and could not be accessed.
Chu Wuyao was originally planning to investigate further, but when she stared at the [Authorities] column, some information appeared in her mind, letting her know that to unlock this function, she had to break through the Shackles Realm.
Otherwise, with her current strength, she wouldn't be able to access it.
"Doesn't this mean that this thing is useless for now?", Chu Wuyao complained but she knew that there was no reason for the system to trick her about such things.
Having been with the system for so long, Chu Wuyao had conducted many experiments and was now almost certain that it possessed no intelligence at all.
No matter whether she asked questions or how much she scolded it, the system would not respond, as if it was a lifeless thing.
Chu Wuyao couldn't know whether this was true or if it was just pretending, but she guessed that the first option was more likely.
After all, Chu Wuyao believed that she was an ordinary person and there was no reason for the system to lie to her.
Apart from her extraordinary appearance and her supreme intelligence, she felt that there was nothing special about her.
After she closed the system panel, Chu Wuyao turned her focus to the starry sky that was everywhere around her.
Having dealt with the items of the inheritance, it was now time for her to find a way to get out of this place.
She wasn't willing to waste any more time here.
Just when she had raised her right foot and was about to search around for an escape rout, the shining stars on the horizon started dimming.
One after another, the light of the stars went out as if they had an agreement, returning this place to darkness.
Very soon, all the light of the stars had gone, as if their source of power had ran out.
When Chu Wuyao saw this, she wasn't worried but instead became excited.
She felt that the time had finally come for her to leave this place!
The next moment, her thoughts proved to be true and the space around her started shattering.
Her vision went dark and soon, Chu Wuyao found herself back in reality.
She was still standing in the stone square, holding a small statue of a cute dragon in her two hands.
It was as if nothing had changed.
Chu Wuyao turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhuo who was standing quite close to her, also holding a similar small statue.
She was ready to make an excuse, when she found that Yuan Zhuo's eyes were calm, without any doubt at all.
Countless thoughts rushed through her mind and she opened her mouth, wanting to confirm her guess.
"Do you know what happened just now?", Chu Wuyao asked.
Hearing her question, Yuan Zhuo shook his head.
"I don't know. It should be that our arrival triggered the opening of the inheritance left in this place.", he quickly told his guess and looked at the statue in his hands, wanting to find its function.
Chu Wuyao however couldn't care about his movements at the moment.
Yuan Zhuo's words had confirmed her previous guess.
Although she had spent a lot of time inside the inheritance space, communicating with the Mist Dragon and accepting its inheritance, only a moment had passed in reality.
When she thought about this, Chu Wuyao unconsciously lamented about the power of the Mist Dragon.
Just an inheritance it had casually left behind had such power, so how strong would it be at its peak?
At the same time, having this experience, Chu Wuyao realized that her previous estimate about the strength of cultivators at the Supernatural Realm might be slightly off.
Perhaps, for cultivators at this realm, frontal power didn't actually matter and instead, their focus was on conceptual abilities.
For such beings, it might be as easy as breathing to create another world and bend time and space as they will.
Of course, Chu Wuyao also understood that the Mist Dragon should be a special case, possessing power far beyond its realm.
But she felt that even the weakest Supernatural Realm being should possess unimaginable abilities, far beyond common sense.
