Chapter 254 Celestial Breath! Pure White God! Lu Yu's Major Upgrade (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The ranch where the puzzle "The Herdsman" was created has undergone tremendous changes!
The pasture phantom has expanded by more than double, surrounded by fences burning with silver flames, anchored in the dark void, and is much larger than before, standing like pillars of heaven!
If it weren't for the gaps between the fences that allow views of the pasture, it would almost be called a prison!
However, in a sense, there is no difference!
The pasture phantom became increasingly realistic, but its core remained the Chaos Egg. After absorbing the spiritual essence left on the toad skin by the eldest son of the Toad Ancestor, its size expanded from three meters to four meters.
boom!
Like breathing, the Chaos Egg spreads out chaotic energy from its center, constantly washing over the earth!
Although most of it was wasteland, the few acres of pasture that Lu Yu had just bought from the Church of Anning had grown were now a deeper color and looked incredibly beautiful under the constant nourishment of the chaotic energy!
It exudes a strange and alluring charm!
Even Lu Yu himself had the urge to go in and be a beast of burden, eating grass like a beast of burden!
"I wonder if we can take this out to eat later!"
Lu Yu suppressed the bizarre thought in his mind and turned to look at the west side of the pasture phantom.
Beneath the setting sun, which had been born from the divinity of twilight, appeared a tranquil pool.
The water was clear, but dense, irregular mycelium resembling black reeds or snakes grew from its bottom. Even Lu Yu couldn't recognize what kind of plant it was.
They intertwined and converged into a giant black lotus leaf!
On a lotus leaf, a three-meter-tall dark green toad is perched.
It has four blood-red eyes, horizontally spaced and embedded in its head and two shoulders. Its overall appearance is a hybrid of bat and human features. It opens its blood-red mouth, which is covered with sharp fangs, and sticks out a long, thin, blood-red tongue.
With each breath, corrosive liquid drips, eroding large holes in the lotus leaves, but the leaves quickly repair them.
Although it looked ferocious, it kept its eyes half-closed, maintaining a lazy, half-asleep appearance.
Rumble!
With each breath, accompanied by rhythmic toad croaking, a whirlwind was blown out from the mouth and numerous bumps on the back, sweeping in all directions!
It brought fresh air to the ranch!
It has a touch more vitality!
Just like the Black Goat, which originated from the [Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Desires], this creature is the second divine abomination born from the spiritual essence of the [Eldest Son of the Toad Ancestor], which was forcibly broken open by the Chaos Egg and devoured!
"Woof woof woof!"
Just as Lu Yu was about to observe, a deep roar sounded behind him. As a pasture beast, Zhu Ri sensed its master's arrival and ran across the grassland at lightning speed!
Its size has changed along with the improvement of the ranch, and now it is comparable to a large wolfhound.
Its limbs became stronger, its claws sharpened, its fur glossy, and its whiskers fluttered, the tips of which gleamed with a blade-like pale golden light. From a distance...
It's like having a bunch of light bulbs inside you!
A light bulb dog?
Or is it a solar-powered dog?
"Woof!"
It rushed over quickly, crouched down where Lu Yu was thinking of it, its airplane ears stood up, and its tail swayed, leaving afterimages. It looked obedient and cute!
"What a...good dog!"
Lu Yu didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only praise it in the simplest terms!
"Woof woof woof!"
After receiving praise every day, it happily rolls around on its back, exposing its belly and begging its owner to pet it, its tail wagging like a helicopter.
"Good girl!"
Lu Yu has always loved furry things, except for white tigers. He tried to pet the dog with his mind, and the dog happily enjoyed it. After a while, it reluctantly got up.
This time it refused on its own initiative.
Because there are important things to do!
As the sun rose, it reached the edge of the pool, its expression instantly changing to one of ferocity and savagery. It roared at the pool:
"roar!"
The sound waves surged, creating countless ripples in the pool. A large amount of chaotic energy surged in, transforming into countless tentacles behind it, entwining a setting sun!
Don't you know how to pay respects when you arrive at the ranch?
"...Coo...Croak..."
However, faced with such a terrifying scene, the giant toad merely raised its eyelids and responded weakly, appearing indifferent and exceptionally arrogant.
Just when Lu Yu thought this divine monster was disobedient and about to be suppressed.
"Woof!"
Zhu Ri nodded, then flicked out his whiskers, which, accompanied by streaks of cold light, cut down a large amount of pasture grass. He then bundled the grass into bunches and threw them to the new divine beast in the center of the lotus leaf.
"...Coo...Croak..."
The giant toad still looked like it hadn't woken up yet, but its nimble tongue curled up, swallowing a large amount of hay into its belly, and it began to chew.
Click! Snap!
The movements were quite elegant, and all that could be heard was the sound of sharp teeth cutting through the grass. From the tumor-like bumps on the giant toad's back, or rather, from its sebaceous glands, a little bit of white liquid began to be secreted.
After contact with air, it begins to develop an oily sheen!
"Woof woof woof!"
Zhu Ri nodded in satisfaction, then turned to tell his master:
This new animal is very obedient but a bit lazy. It can't walk and needs to help deliver hay, otherwise it might starve to death on the lotus leaves!
However, it's much better than that useless black goat. Every month, the giant toad can make a secret treasure for its owner.
"Woof!"
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Zhu Ri's eyes, and he glared at the black goat that only ate and did not produce anything!
If there's still no harvest after a while, peel off the skin!
"Meow!"
The black goat, who had been secretly watching this area, couldn't help but shudder when it met this gaze, and its eyes turned more hostile towards the giant toad!
With your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're actually going to get involved in this too!
However, the giant toad continued to eat slowly and deliberately, seemingly living only in its own world.
"The ranch has finally produced something?" Lu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news.
After waiting for so long, we've finally reaped some rewards!
As the owner of the ranch and the ultimate producer of everything, Lu Yu has the right to control all life on the ranch.
With a thought, the relevant information was retrieved!
This divine abomination, born from the herds of a superior evil god, is truly called the Sleeping Giant Toad!
He died in eternal sleep!
It gains strength by sleeping, which is why it looks so half-dead; after all, its essence is to slack off!
As for the oily white liquid secreted from the back of the sleeping giant toad, it is its toad oil, which is highly poisonous. Touching it rashly will cause the skin to turn into toad skin, and in severe cases, it may even erode the spirit, causing the consciousness to enter a long sleep, while the body is transformed into a human-faced toad.
The toxicity is limited by Lu Yu's own strength and is currently only effective against Morning Star level enemies.
However, when these oily toad oils accumulate to a certain extent, they will undergo a certain mutation under the influence of the ranch's power, becoming a consumable treasure called "Sleeping Toad Venom"!
The effects and functions are simple. When using it, apply it to the whole body. It can assist in the cultivation of the Great Toad Qi and enhance the potential of frog, toad, and storm-attribute pets.
For example, it can give a frog-type pet with the potential of a top-tier leader to the potential of a beginner overlord.
A difference of just one rank makes all the difference!
If the Ghost Face Cursed Frog had possessed the [Sleeping Toad Venom] back then, it's questionable whether Lu Yu would still be alive today.
Treasures that enhance potential are extremely expensive, whether in major merchant guilds or the black market. Not to mention, toad venom can create Morning Star-level pets!
A single serving of "Sleeping Toad Venom" may have limited applicability, but its value is still over 30 million!
Most importantly, as Lu Yu's strength grows, the more feed he receives, the higher the quality of the items produced by the Sleeping Giant Toad will become, and there is even a chance to produce other treasures of higher level.
"My hard work in herding the superiors has finally paid off!"
Lu Yu was overjoyed; this time, the God of Poverty's favor was finally gone!
Thinking about this, the more he looked at the sleeping giant toad, the more pleasing it seemed to him, like looking at a golden toad, unlike that black goat, which ate a lot but never made a sound.
"I hope the treasures it produces in the future won't disappoint me, otherwise I'll only be able to make roasted whole lamb!"
As Lu Yu pondered, the black goat in the distance shuddered and buried itself in its work!
At this moment, what it's eating isn't grass at all.
They are clearly the hope for survival!
In addition to the fact that successfully raising two divine beasts is not just about the ranch becoming bigger and producing more divine beasts, Lu Yu also used the spiritual puzzle to enhance the amplification effect of the pets!
Among them, Lu Yu's long-awaited ability to simultaneously descend upon two ranches and empower his pets has finally appeared!
From now on, you can bless two pets at the same time!
Even a single pet can have multiple attributes boosted simultaneously!
"We've really hit the jackpot! And this is just the transformation of the ranch; there's also the harvest after the successful grazing!"
Lu Yu looked expectantly at the two blue orbs of light in front of the Chaos Egg.
The first thing that gradually faded from his gaze was actually countless ancient and mysterious toad-shaped characters, as if they came from an ancient toad civilization, constantly flowing and changing!
Just by looking at it, Lu Yu felt the toad energy within his body begin to circulate at high speed.
"This is……"
[Celestial Breathing: One of the Toad Ancestor's experiments, it was used on the Toad Ancestor's eldest son. After [unclear], he shed his toad skin and branded it onto the skin. Over the long years, it absorbed the souls and flesh of countless martial artists in the Secret Martial World, gradually giving birth to a special spirituality.]
After use, it can upgrade a target's "Great Toad Qi" to the super-level skill "Celestial Breath", retaining all the abilities of the Great Toad Qi, and will give birth to a special illusory celestial toad lung that can devour the power of the celestial origin.
Users only need to breathe to hone themselves at all times, raising their proficiency to the extreme, gaining a physique comparable to a top-tier life form, greatly enhancing their mental processing speed, and possessing extremely high resistance to holy light attributes.
Using "Sleeping Toad Venom" can accelerate the increase in proficiency. If enough powerful Holy Light beings can be killed and their primordial light extracted and incorporated into it, the illusory "Heavenly Toad Lung" can undergo further transformation.
"The advancement of the Great Toad's Qi—Celestial Breath!"
"A miraculous skill that allows you to become stronger while lying down!"
Lu Yu's eyes widened; he hadn't expected the first reward for successfully herding livestock to be so amazing!
This is practically forging him into a human-like legendary life form!
The Secret Martial Arts system was originally the minor profession he chose to study.
After all, he is not afraid of mutation at all. As long as he continues to improve, with the reinforcement from the Beastmaster system and the skill enhancement, plus Egg's dragon armor, he will directly transform into a hexagonal warrior!
Sweep everything away!
Even the people of Super Pallet Town can't compare!
At that time, if anyone tries to exploit his weakness and defeat him through a sneak attack, they will face true despair!
Although Beastmasters' physical bodies also receive feedback and become stronger after reaching the Morning Star realm, Lu Yu's blessing is...
Several times, or even dozens of times!
Far ahead of its competitors!
"However, the power of the celestial realm, the resistance to holy light attributes, and the growth by devouring holy light—these are all too obvious. It's clearly referring to the pure white celestial realm."
Furthermore, to improve, one needs to steal the power of origin. Could it be that the Toad Ancestor has a grudge against the Pure White Heaven?
Lu Yu immediately thought of the Pure White Realm, a top-tier ecological realm second only to the Abyss and the Void!
A place even more terrifying than the true king's ecological kingdom!
It was created by a great being known as the "Pure White God," also called the "One of Billions of Radiance." In legend, He is almost omniscient and omnipotent, creating the Pure White Realm from a single ray of light and thus creating all life!
Judging from the descriptions in the myths alone, they are no different from the God in Lu Yu's previous life legends!
omnipotent!
However, the authenticity of this claim remains questionable...
After all, these churches are really good at bragging!
The last Twilight Cult boasted that their Mother of Twilight was the creator goddess, and look what happened...
They were completely wiped out by Lu Yu, and even their own group was taken over, giving rise to the pseudonym "Twilight Archbishop," who is still wanted by the Alliance and is helping to take the blame!
However, the Pure White Realm is indeed inhabited by countless beings of Holy Light, Holy Light fairies, and even angels, as well as some special life forms.
It is true that the power of holy light has a suppressive effect on dark and abyssal monsters, and it also has a powerful healing ability!
However, they are not some noble and sacred objects; on the contrary... they are rather strange!
This wasn't said by Lu Yu, but rather a description he found in the information he had looked up!
The main world also has an ecosystem created by the overlapping of the pure white realms, and even has secret paths to enter it, but many people are very secretive about the information inside the pure white realms.
Rarely revealed!
Lu Yu also asked Lilith about it, but she became extremely serious and warned him not to go in unless absolutely necessary, saying that it was more terrifying than the abyss!
To prevent Lu Yu from developing a rebellious attitude, Lilith specifically instructed him not to be captivated by angels just because they are pretty. She warned him that they wouldn't fawn over him and that succubi were far more interesting.
Whether it's sweet and cute, sexy and alluring, or a girl with no morals, there's something for everyone.
As long as Lu Yu speaks, two will be sent over in no time!
However, after glancing at Lilith's photos of her legs in stockings, he pretended to disconnect from the internet and remained out of contact!
Just kidding, he had long since given up on his dream of succubi in this world. Even if it wasn't Lilith, the closet succubus, he still couldn't handle a mattress succubus or a washing machine succubus!
The only thing I still hold hope for...
Only the elves are left!
"How could I possibly refuse a skill that's free!"
Lu Yu decisively chose to merge. Countless toad-shaped characters, like flowing light, entered his body and merged with the toad energy flowing in his chest cavity, taking root in his spirituality.
Within that surging spiritual energy, a phantom organ, condensed with pure white light, was born, shining brilliantly like an exquisite work of art.
On the proficiency panel, the skill bar for [Great Toad Breath] also changed, becoming [Celestial Breath].
His proficiency level has also plummeted from the pinnacle to the master level!
But its power has not decreased; on the contrary, it has increased.
"Let's see how it goes!"
Lu Yu tried using the Celestial Breathing technique. Through the ancient and vast breathing rhythm, he actually felt a connection to a pure white world, shining with billions of rays of light!
He felt that when he practiced [Celestial Breathing], it was like a thief who took a long straw and put it into a pool, stealing a drop of light from the ocean equal to the amount of seawater, and digesting and quickly integrating it into himself through a special breathing rhythm.
"You've gotten one percent stronger already?!"
Lu Yu felt the changes in his body and was overjoyed!
Just as he was about to continue stealing, an alarm bell suddenly went off in his mind. He looked at the still calm Pure White World and felt a chill run down his spine for no reason!
Although it was just as dazzling as before, it gave him a sense of incongruity!
Unsure if there would be any problems, Lu Yu, true to his heart, decisively gave up.
"Forget it, let's play it safe first!"
Although holy light energy is not high-dimensional pollution, an excessively high level can still erode one's flesh and blood. The little bit he just drank was already a bit too much for him, so he decided to wait until next time.
"Celestial Breathing can also absorb the spiritual energy of the world to strengthen itself, and my Secret Weapon Projection is also improving and transforming."
Most people would easily lose control when faced with such a surge in spirituality and would have to find a way to suppress it, but as the master of the gate, I only need to steal it once at fixed intervals.
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then examined the second ball of light.
The eerie blue light dissipated, transforming into a key with a toad-shaped carving, exuding an aura of the abyss.
The pattern above is half-awake, somewhere between illusion and reality, incredibly mysterious!
[The Toad's Key: A key left behind by the Toad Ancestor, corresponding to a mysterious portal in a certain abyss. Once opened, it will bring unexpected rewards.]
This was the first time Lu Yu had obtained so little information about an item, yet he could still sense a strong atmosphere of conspiracy.
Moreover, due to insufficient strength, even using the Eye of Truth did not allow them to see more information.
"First the Heavenly Realm, then the Abyss, the eldest son of the Toad Ancestor... no, it should be the Toad Ancestor himself, what exactly does He want?"
Lu Yu stroked his chin, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with many ideas, and there was no one who could give him an answer.
The most troublesome thing here is not only that it involves great beings, but also that the abyss invades and devours other worlds every moment.
The exact number of dimensions is now a mystery.
Finding a door among so many abyssal planes is infinitely more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack!
"We'll ask Lilith about it later; maybe we can find some useful clues."
Lu Yu could only put it away first, then his consciousness withdrew from the spiritual puzzle. Just as he was about to speak, he found a steaming plate of omelet rice placed in front of him.
The golden egg crepe was drizzled with crooked tomato sauce, and a small cobweb flag was stuck on top with the elegant words "Victory Celebration Feast".
The back features a family portrait of Lu Yu, Dan Dan, Shu Shu, and Xiao Zhu Zhi!
Hand in hand, always here!
"Waaaah!" The little spider dressed as a cook clapped its hands to celebrate its master's success in the college entrance examination!
(o ゜ ▽ ゜) o ☆
"Xiu Ren is the best!" Mouse raised its little paws and cheered, its bright eyes looking at Lu Yu.
This surprise was planned by it and Spider Sister together!
To others, Xiu Ren is stingy, greedy, and reckless, but only they know that he spends most of his money on his pets and rarely uses it for his own enjoyment!
He is always busy, planning more for them, but he rarely rests!
Such a person makes me feel very safe, but I think...
This home needs everyone's help to shelter us from the wind and rain!
"Roar!" Egg let out a low growl, indicating that it had also done part of it.
But most importantly... squeeze in the ketchup!
Lu Yu watched this scene, remained silent for a moment, a warm feeling flowing through his heart, and said with a smile:
"How childish!"
"But I like it very much!"
With them around, every day is a holiday!
Perhaps this is the meaning of the bond between beast tamers and their pets!
Lu Yu divided the omelet rice into four portions and gave them to the three little ones. They ate together happily and smiled at each other.
Because Imperial University needs to properly accommodate a large number of humans from small worlds, and the president is busy with other matters, the official start date for the semester is set for the day after tomorrow.
During this period, the hotel will provide candidates with free accommodation and three meals a day.
Lu Yu also gave the three little ones a night off. The mouse happily ran to the sofa to watch TV series, while the egg went into the Nightmare Prison to continue looking for Xiao Yu, and arranged a dream buffet for it to eat to its heart's content.
As for Little Spider, he felt uneasy using the [Illusion Control] skill because he felt it was improving too quickly! So he went to practice his proficiency again!
Retrace the path to transcendence!
Lu Yu used his Eye of Truth to check all the secret weapons and make sure there were no problems. Then, through Xu Shu of the Imperial Capital Alliance, who had been introduced by the principal, the old man Xu helped him get through the green channel and quickly register the weapons!
Given that its own "Great Toad Qi" has undergone a complete transformation, evolving into "Celestial Breathing," although seemingly the same, the two are already the difference between Baojun and BMW.
In addition, the cultivation of the Great Toad Qi is extremely difficult; otherwise, the Great Toad Palace would not have been destroyed. To achieve longevity, one must at least advance to the Crown-level martial artist.
If an ordinary person had this much energy, they could become a Morning Star Beast Tamer, directly possessing a lifespan of three hundred years. Isn't that much better than the several decades that the Great Toad Qi adds?
After all, not everyone has such a bugged ability as a proficiency panel!
However, since a lot of people expressed a strong demand to buy it at a higher price, and refused to buy it if it wasn't given the Great Toad Qi, Lu Yu reluctantly put on a show a few times, raising the price of the Great Toad Qi to fifty times that of the other secret weapons, and made a fortune!
In the end, they reaped approximately 53 million, and the Miwu market became saturated.
Because the mainstream system in this world is still based on Beastmasters, and the upper limit of the Secret Weapon system is too low, most people who buy it are just using it as a reference.
The main reason is that the beast tamers from the Douwang Domain who possess the body system want to replicate Lu Yu's miracle.
In the blink of an eye,
A day and a half has passed!
The online buzz shows no signs of abating, with many enthusiastic fans even waiting outside the hotel, hoping to stop Lu Yu for an autograph.
Even many small and medium-sized families found a large number of their best young women, and a group of beautiful girls strolled around the hotel, hoping to have a perfect encounter with Lu Yu!
Their idea was simple: even if they couldn't get Lu Yu onto their side, they could at least get the seed on board!
As for the major families... because they wanted to save face and also needed a better opportunity to make contact, they only sent out invitations!
However, to everyone's surprise, apart from being arrogant during the exam, Lu Yu was incredibly low-key at other times, staying in the hotel the whole time and never coming out!
This left many people deeply disappointed!
"Ding-dong!"
Just as Lu Yu was quietly practicing his Celestial Breathing and waiting for the start of the new semester, he suddenly received a text message on his phone.
He opened it and found it was an invitation from Yu Xiyan.
The message suggested having a meal together, chatting, and discussing things like choosing a department, etc.
"Speaking of which, they haven't even paid us for this yet!"
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, recalling the mysterious cloud whale from before, and then readily agreed.
When he quietly left the hotel and arrived at the restaurant's private room, the scene that greeted him upon opening the door made his expression turn strange.
Only one thought remained in my mind:
"This is……"
"We've ventured deep into the lion's den!?"
A long chapter of 6,500 words, please vote with monthly tickets. I've been feeling down lately and have some writer's block.
