"Eighth Heaven."
Li Qi slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was as calm as still water, his deep eyes unmoving.
He still needed two more breakthroughs.
After two more breakthroughs, he would truly step into the realm of immortals.
At this moment.
Li Qi finally looked at his system panel again.
[Name: Li Qi]
[Cultivation: Mahayana Eighth Heaven]
[Strength: 504321]
[Speed: 492254]
[Defense: 493121]
[Regeneration: 48513]
[... ]
[Life Spirit Puppet: Current Puppet Count, 3/3]
Li Qi had long stopped paying much attention to attribute points as his cultivation grew higher.
By now, Li Qi had lived for nearly ten thousand years.
At this point, he was somewhat hazy about the increase from his attribute points.
In the early stages, the growth of these attribute points had been extremely beneficial, allowing Li Qi to easily defeat opponents many levels higher than him.
But now.
As his strength grew, although Li Qi could still defeat opponents of higher levels.
He was somewhat unsure how many levels he could overcome, or how much the gap was with cultivators of the same realm.
After all, at Li Qi's current level, it could be said that he had no rivals.
Even if there were opponents, Li Qi would not dare to act rashly.
Ever since he reached the Mahayana stage, Li Qi had been hiding and had never exposed himself.
He would not be foolish enough to seek out others to test his strength.
However, overall, even at his current level, his attribute points still provided him with considerable benefits.
"Wait, ten thousand years."
At this very moment.
Li Qi's eyes suddenly flickered slightly.
While his system’s presence was not strong, it had to be said.
His system had provided him with some talents or other assistance when his lifespan broke through a thousand years, or when various attribute points reached a certain threshold.
"It seems I'm not far from my lifespan truly breaking through ten thousand years..."
"Perhaps... I can wait."
Thinking of this, Li Qi's eyes lit up.
He still remembered when his time-element talent was reset when his lifespan broke through a thousand years.
That talent was incredibly powerful.
"I wonder if the system will grant me any rewards when my lifespan truly exceeds ten thousand years."
Thinking this, Li Qi's long-calm heart began to stir.
For the next period, Li Qi remained as usual, motionless within the Heavenly Dao Space of the Void Realm.
Several hundred more years passed by unknowingly.
Then, one day.
Li Qi, who had been motionless, suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment.
His eyes revealed a look of surprise he hadn't felt in a long time.
Then, a mechanical voice echoed in Li Qi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for exceeding ten thousand years of lifespan.]
[Hint: Due to the host's lifespan exceeding ten thousand years, the host has gained a new understanding of all things in heaven and earth. Drawing random rewards.]
[Ding, random reward drawn, you have obtained three reinforcement opportunities!]
"Three reinforcement opportunities?"
Hearing this prompt, Li Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Immediately, Li Qi's gaze unconsciously swept to his system panel, looking at his four basic attribute points.
Speed, Strength, Defense, Regeneration. Previously, the Speed attribute point had already been reinforced once.
"Does the system mean to reinforce my other three basic talents once more?"
After all, he had four basic attribute talents, one of which had been reinforced before, leaving three remaining.
And this time, it coincidentally gave him three attribute enhancements.
It was indeed quite interesting.
Immediately, Li Qi wanted to directly allocate these three enhancement opportunities to Strength, Defense, and Regeneration.
But suddenly, Li Qi's prepared command paused.
"Wait, this reward from the system is three reinforcement opportunities, and it seems... it's not limited to talents."
Thinking of this, Li Qi's gaze drifted to the bottom of his system panel.
Here, besides the descriptions of his various talents, there were also:
[Farmer's Three Punches, each punch stronger than the last. (Friendly reminder, using Farmer's Three Punches consumes a lot of energy. It is not recommended to use it recklessly under abnormal circumstances.)]
[Life Spirit Puppet: Summon three puppets with strength equal to the host's, current puppet count, 3/3.]
[Reset: Under the host's death or self-activation, the body state will revert to the reset node state. (Usable)]
Apart from the four basic talents, Li Qi's most frequently used were these three talents.
But in reality, Farmer's Three Punches, Life Spirit Puppet, and Reset could be considered divine abilities rather than mere talents.
Because their effects were so significant.
"System, can the reinforcement be used on Farmer's Three Punches, Life Spirit Puppet, and Reset?"
[Ding, yes, the host may add them freely.]
Hearing the system's affirmative reply, Li Qi's eyes shone even brighter.
"Then let's use one reinforcement opportunity on each!"
[Ding, reinforcing Farmer's Three Punches, Life Spirit Puppet, and Reset talents once each.]
Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Qi immediately looked at the panel.
The next moment.
Even Li Qi was astonished.
This, this...
This reinforcement is too powerful!
[(Information) Farmer's Three Punches (Reinforced) The host can use the fourth punch of Farmer's Three Punches. The fourth punch will have a thousand times the power! (ps, since there are five "Four Heavenly Kings," it's only reasonable for Farmer's Three Punches to have four punches, right? Continue reinforcing, do you want to see if there's a fifth, sixth, or seventh punch? Raise your hand, let us! Punch this universe to death!)]
"Hiss, Farmer's Three Punches with a thousand times the damage."
Li Qi's eyes widened. If this was combined with his hundredfold amplification, it would be a hundred thousand times the damage!
Previously, Farmer's Three Punches with ten thousand times the damage allowed him to defeat anyone. Now, a hundred thousand times!
Li Qi did not know how far the three immortals from the Azure Cloud Realm had progressed in the immortal realm.
He was not even sure if he could defeat an immortal after breaking through to the immortal realm, even with his hundredfold amplification.
This could be inferred from his previous realm.
Even with Li Qi's absurd cheat, at the first level of Mahayana, even with all his means, he might not be able to defeat a cultivator at the ninth level or peak of Mahayana.
And in the immortal realm, the gap between minor realms would only be greater.
But now, if he were to break through to the immortal realm in the future and an immortal came looking for him.
He wondered if that immortal could withstand Farmer's Three Punches with a hundred thousand times the damage.
Immediately, Li Qi's gaze continued downward.
