It has been a week since Elizabeth returned from the Time Room. Despite her unusual behavior for a girl her age, as she talks about and asks questions about the supposed resurgence of the Absolute Dragon Clan, Illios thinks she is adorable and just lets it pass.
[Successful login! Reward: Fire Technique (Common) and 100 Low-Rank Spirit Stones.]
[It has been detected that the host has obtained the Beginner-level Fire Technique and 100 Low-Rank Spirit Stones with the x10,000 multiplier system. Dragon's Flame (Elemental) and 1,000,000 Low-Rank Spirit Stones.]
[CRIT! You have triggered a x100 crit and obtained the Imperial Phoenix Ode (Divine) and 1,000,000 Superior Spirit Stones.]
"It's about time you gave me something good, system," Illios said, looking at the Imperial Phoenix Ode with sparkling eyes.
The classifications of techniques in the immortal world are as follows:
Common: This level is the most basic and consists of simple attack techniques with low power. These techniques are commonly used in the initial stage of cultivation and do not require a great mastery of spiritual energy.
Intermediate: This level involves more advanced techniques that require greater mastery of spiritual energy. These techniques can cause greater damage and are used by more experienced cultivators.
Advanced: This level is the next step in the progression of cultivation techniques and requires great mastery of spiritual energy. The techniques at this level can cause a great deal of damage and are used by highly experienced cultivators.
Elemental: This level focuses on the use of natural elements such as fire, water, wind, earth, and electricity to increase the power of the attack. Techniques at this level are very powerful and require great mastery of elemental energy.
Celestial: This level refers to techniques that use the cultivator's spiritual energy to increase the power of the attack. Attacks at this level can easily destroy entire buildings and cause a great deal of damage.
Divine: This level is the highest and is considered the level of the inmortals. Attacks at this level can change the structure of the world and alter reality itself. These are techniques used by the most powerful cultivators who have achieved a state close to immortality.
Since Illios purchased the login system, it has only given him all kinds of spiritual herbs and pills, which, thanks to the increased multiplier and critical systems that increase both in quality and quantity, are quite abundant in his inventory.
The problem lies in the fact that any of these herbs, if consumed at Illios's current cultivation level, which is "Lord of Dao" would literally explode. Additionally, he has only managed to reach this level of cultivation by barely squeezing in time between managing territory affairs and tending to Elizabeth. He hasn't had the opportunity to diligently cultivate, only doing so when he has free time. Not to mention, he still struggles with his overload, and though he can control it, it still weighs heavily on him.
"I can practice these exercises and now that the county's situation has stabilized, maybe I can give myself time to practice," Illios thought.
Since arriving in this world, he hasn't had a noteworthy fight, only training with a few people in the imperial palace. He can't even feel the excitement of combat, which is practically a sin in an immortal world where combat power defines one's standing.
"With Dao Synthesis, I can learn this in record time. I could also give this exercise to Elena and Elizabeth," he thought as he examined the exercise.
[Imperial Phoenix Ode in a world of diverse races and lineages, the Phoenix Clan families united to found an empire where Phoenix blood was common among them. After its establishment, they discovered a great problem: they did not have dedicated exercises to amplify the power of their bloodline in a world where these were becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, they gathered the most powerful scholars and monks from the Phoenix families and tasked them with creating the ultimate exercises for their descendants, giving rise to the creation of the Imperial Phoenix Ode.
The exercises created include:
1. Phoenix Aura: allows for efficient control of Phoenix Qi in the blood and body. Works for all species with Phoenix Qi.
2. Phoenix Concentration: can concentrate Phoenix Qi and optimize its power. Works for all species with Phoenix Qi.
3. Fire/Ice Shadow Dodge: a movement technique that uses Phoenix Qi to create a fire/ice clone when used. Effects vary depending on the type of Phoenix (fire/ice or their derivatives).
4. ---
5. ---
6. ---
20. Crimson Fury: channels the user's Phoenix Qi to create numerous manifestations of the fire Phoenix (varies in the amount of available energy), which explode on contact causing "fires of hell". Available from the noble purity of the bloodline. Exclusive to fire Phoenix and its derivatives.
21. Ice Song: channels Phoenix Qi to create a majestic Phoenix song, which at its maximum power, can permanently freeze the body and even the soul of the target (varies in the amount of available energy and its function compared to the target's power). Available from the noble purity of the bloodline. Exclusive to ice Phoenix and its derivatives.]
Illios couldn't help but think that the techniques from his mother's sect were garbage in comparison to the beauty of these exercises. For now, he could only learn the Phoenix Aura, which would allow him to better control the internal Phoenix Qi of his royal bloodline.
But he knew not to underestimate the first technique, as it was essential for efficient control of Phoenix Qi and amplifying the intuitive manifestation of Phoenix fire.
"I should test this technique on the monsters in my territory," Illios thought. There was a nearby snowy forest, why not try out his new ability there?
So he decided to go and test both his new skill and his cultivation, as well as the power of his body and blood acquired through the universal system.
The first thing he did was to invite Elena and Elizabeth to join him, and they eagerly accepted. Elena wanted to use her powers for her own plans, while Elizabeth wanted to feel powerful and crush monsters with her abilities.
----------
The next day, the whole family gathered and set off in a carriage towards the snowy forest located in the north of their territory. All three learned the phoenix aura, with both Illios and Elizabeth having "Dao Synthesis," which allowed them to quickly learn the exercise, while Elena had natural comprehension talent. Moreover, the exercise wasn't particularly difficult, so there were no problems in understanding and executing it.
When they arrived, they began to test their skills on the monsters in the forest.
They ventured into the snowy forest, and the intense cold emanating from the surroundings didn't affect them at all, as both cultivators had a large amount of spiritual energy that kept them warm.
As they walked through the forest, they marveled at the beauty surrounding them: huge trees covered in snow, small creatures playing on the ground, and a tranquil stream flowing through the forest. Although it seemed like a peaceful place, Illios and Elena didn't let their guard down. They knew that this forest hid many dangers, especially for inexperienced travelers.
Despite this, for them, the forest was like a playground, as they possessed absurd aptitudes and there were no particularly powerful creatures in the forest. Elizabeth, although she was not as powerful as her parents, was also excited about the trip. Although she had no cultivation, a dragon's strength should not be underestimated, especially one that inherited the Star Demon Body and royal bloodlines.
Illios and Elena continued to move forward through the snowy forest, enjoying the cold and fresh air, while Elizabeth ran around them, excited to be in such a beautiful place. The trees were covered in snow, and the wind made the branches creak.
Suddenly, a howl filled the air. A snow wolf appeared before them, with red eyes and white fur. Illios stood on guard, ready to fight. The snow wolf pounced at him, but Illios responded with a blaze of fire from his phoenix aura.
Illios advanced towards the snow wolf, preparing for the fight. The wolf was imposing, standing over 3 meters tall with skin covered in snow and frost. Illios could feel its malevolent presence and dark aura.
The wolf growled and charged at Illios with astonishing speed, but the brightness of Illios' fire aura made the wolf pause for a moment before attacking. Illios took advantage of this opportunity to jump forward and strike with his fist infused with spiritual energy, but the snow wolf easily dodged it.
The battle intensified quickly, with Illios launching fireballs and flames towards the wolf while dodging its attacks. The snow wolf unleashed powerful punches and bites, but Illios managed to evade or block them with his fire aura.
Finally, Illios saw his chance and launched himself towards the wolf with unexpected speed, hitting it with a burst of fire that made it stagger back several steps. The snow wolf growled in pain and rage, and prepared for one last attack, but Illios defeated it with a final blow of spiritual energy.
The fight was over, and Elena and Elizabeth approached to congratulate Illios on his victory. Illios was breathing heavily, sweating and tired, but his fire aura still shone brightly, demonstrating his power on the battlefield.
"I'm not used to using my abilities," Illios thought to himself with disappointment as he saw his labored breathing and felt tired after fighting just one spiritual snow wolf.
So the family ventured deeper into the forest, fighting and getting accustomed to their abilities as they faced different creatures.
