As days turned into weeks, Yuan Chen and the ancient beast continued their journey on the island, honing their skills and growing stronger together. Despite their progress, Yuan Chen was still bothered by the persistent debuff that weakened his abilities. Although he had managed to accumulate enough points to remove the debuff, he was hesitant to do so without a proper understanding of the consequences.
One day, as they rested under the shade of a massive tree, the ancient beast addressed Yuan Chen's concerns. "Young cultivator, I have noticed that you have been reluctant to remove your debuff. I can sense your apprehension, but I assure you, it is time for you to take this step."
Yuan Chen nodded, understanding the wisdom behind the beast's words. Gathering his resolve, he accessed his cheat system and selected the option to remove the debuff. As the system processed the request, a warm sensation enveloped Yuan Chen, and he could feel the shackles of weakness being lifted from his body. The surge of strength that followed was invigorating, leaving him feeling more powerful than ever before.
With the debuff now removed, the ancient beast deemed it appropriate to share a powerful cultivation technique with Yuan Chen, one that would significantly boost his abilities if cultivated correctly. The beast began to explain the intricacies of the technique, known as the Heavenly Body Ascension, which focused on harnessing the body's natural energies and synchronizing them with the elements of the world.
The technique was complex, requiring precise control and dedication to master. Yuan Chen listened intently as the ancient beast described the various stages of the cultivation process, each one more intricate and demanding than the last. Despite the daunting task ahead of him, Yuan Chen felt a renewed determination to succeed, knowing that this technique could be the key to unlocking his true potential.
Yuan Chen dedicated himself to the study and practice of the Heavenly Body Ascension technique, spending countless hours each day cultivating under the watchful guidance of the ancient beast. The process was slow and arduous, with Yuan Chen's body and mind being pushed to their limits as he sought to unlock the secrets of this powerful technique.
Days turned into weeks, and Yuan Chen began to see the fruits of his labor. His body became more resilient, capable of withstanding immense pressure and exertion. His speed and strength increased exponentially, making him a force to be reckoned with. But Yuan Chen knew that he had only scratched the surface of the Heavenly Body Ascension technique's potential.
As his mastery of the technique grew, the bond between Yuan Chen and the ancient beast deepened. The two companions continued to support and learn from one another, their shared experiences forging an unbreakable connection. The ancient beast marveled at Yuan Chen's progress, knowing that the young cultivator had a bright and promising future ahead of him.
Yuan Chen's journey was far from over, but with each passing day, he drew closer to his goal of becoming a powerful cultivator. Armed with the knowledge and abilities he had gained from the Heavenly Body Ascension technique and the unwavering support of his ancient companion, there was no challenge too great for Yuan Chen to overcome. Together, they ventured forth into the unknown, eager to unlock the secrets of the island and continue on their path towards greatness.
As Yuan Chen continued to cultivate the Heavenly Body Ascension technique, he became increasingly curious about the ancient beast's knowledge of his cheat system. He had never revealed the system's existence to the beast, yet it seemed to possess an uncanny understanding of its workings. One day, after a particularly grueling training session, Yuan Chen decided to confront the beast about its mysterious knowledge.
"Old friend," Yuan Chen began cautiously, "I've been meaning to ask you about something. How is it that you know so much about my cheat system? I've never mentioned it to you, yet you seem to understand it better than I do."
The ancient beast looked at Yuan Chen with a knowing smile. "Ah, I've been waiting for you to ask me that question. You see, your cheat system is not as unique or unknown as you may believe. While it is true that few individuals possess such a system, there are certain beings in this world who are aware of its existence."
Yuan Chen listened intently as the ancient beast continued, "I am one of those beings. Ages ago, I encountered another cultivator who had a similar system to yours. Over time, I became familiar with its functions and limitations. When I first sensed your presence on this island, I could detect the unique energy signature of your cheat system. That is how I knew of its existence."
Yuan Chen was stunned by the revelation. "So there are others like me in this world? Are they also trying to become powerful cultivators?"
The ancient beast nodded sagely. "Yes, there are others who possess a cheat system. However, not all of them seek the same path as you. Some may be content with their abilities and choose a life of leisure, while others may use their powers for nefarious purposes. But that does not concern us. Our focus is on your growth and the mastery of the Heavenly Body Ascension technique."
Yuan Chen felt a mixture of relief and determination at the beast's words. Knowing that there were others like him in this world, he felt less alone in his journey. He also realized that he had a responsibility to use his newfound abilities wisely, and he vowed to do so.
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the island, Yuan Chen and the ancient beast continued their training. The knowledge of others like Yuan Chen, possessing a cheat system, only served to fuel his determination to become the strongest and most honorable cultivator he could be. With the guidance of his ancient companion and the power of the Heavenly Body Ascension technique, Yuan Chen was confident that he would achieve great things in this world.
