He still had a long way to go before saving enough points to take down Master Firepower cleanly. Still, he didn't put all his eggs in one basket; he had already started designing secondary plans. After all, he had to act before Firepower reached Rank 10. His time was not unlimited.

Firepower looked at his system interface:
Name: Firepower
Cultivation Level: Peak of Ten Element Realm
Law: Complete Fire (39.7074%)
Points: 4,047,117,539
System Skills: Deactivator – Detector – Glance
Deactivator: By activating this skill, the user can deactivate another transmigrator's system if the system has a lower rank.
Detector: The user can detect other transmigrators if they live in the same world and if their systems have a lower level than the user's.
Glance: The user can take glances outside the world.
After upgrading his system to 'extremely advanced,' he shifted his focus from killing transmigrators and started focusing on earning points; he still hunts down transmigrators, but only if doing so can be done quickly. He wouldn't go looking for them.
His detector talent has been a massive help; with it, he easily kills most anyway. Only those whose systems are at the same level or higher can avoid his detection. Master Firepower doesn't believe there are more than five people in the world whose systems are at the same level, let alone a higher level.
Using system points is the main way to increase his complete fire law's comprehension, which is why he has put most of the attention of his main body on earning points.
The best way to get points from his system was simply killing people, be they mortals or cultivators. He had already implemented a plan of 'managed harvest' of mortal's lives for points.
Through experimentation and much calculation, he realized that he would get slightly more points if he 'harvested' when people were adults. For this reason, he planned everything like a normal animal farm: feeding people, letting them breed, waiting for them to grow up, 'harvesting' most of them but keeping enough for the next breeding round, and repeating the process.
He was proud to say that his 'farm,' which spanned hundreds of continents, had become self-sufficient. He wouldn't need to import any food at all because he had been very 'creative' in 'recycling.'
His system gave him points when he killed someone. Those he killed left behind corpses, so as a rational Elemental mage who hates wasting usable meat, he just took those corpses, 'processed' them, boiled them to avoid mass disease, and then fed them back to the population. Very 'efficient,' right?
He wouldn't even let the blood go to waste. As he cut their heads, he would collect the blood and make sausages out of it.
From his perspective, all he did was completely rational. He did it for points, not because he enjoyed killing people. From a less ruthless perspective, however, he was evil beyond measure. Unfortunately for mortals in this world, high-level cultivators did not care at all. There was no one capable of helping the poor mortals. From the moment they were born on his 'farm,' they were destined to be killed by him with no way out.
His 'farm' was not that unusual among cultivators. Many who studied laws related to slaughter had done this kind of stuff in the past. After all, only rank 9 cultivators could stop each other, and among rank 9s, very, very few would bother defending mortals.
Looking at the system interface, Fire Power Smiled with bright eyes!
"39%! I am close! Maybe in another 10,000 years, I can finally reach the 10th rank!" he thought as he clenched his fists. He was willing to do anything as long as it helped him reach rank 10. Once he reached rank 10, he could leave this world. Who cared or knew how many mortals he had killed? To begin with, nearly all rank 10s were like him and had their own quarry of evil acts.
People like Firepower are like robots—not the advanced robots with emotions, but the old kind of robots who only think of goals without the slightest care for good and evil. He didn't believe evil existed at all. He saw those who restricted themselves by morals as idiots.
Fortunately for mortals in this world, one person has the power to stop it: Albert. He can summon many powerful pets at any time and try to take him down. But it wouldn't be easy.
Having reached the 39% mark, Firepower is now much more powerful than before. His fire-related spells are much stronger, and he has already designed many extremely advanced fire-related spells.
Firepower sighed and returned to his closed-door cultivation; nowadays, his 'farm' works like clockwork, and he can spend his time mostly cultivating powerful fire spells.
In addition, he has many subordinates who manage his farms, so he doesn't need to pay close attention.
...
After the arrival of elemental cultivators, the world underwent massive changes. Sure, not much changed for high-level cultivators of the Perfection Realm; they remained in closed-door cultivation and didn't care about the outside, but for lower-level cultivators, everything changed.
First of all, all sects, kingdoms, empires, etc., changed owners and became part of the elemental cultivators. The elemental cultivators divided the continents amongst themselves.
Firepower took the most fertile continents with the least cultivation resources; they were vast and had the capacity to house countless mortals.
Others took other continents and regions with higher-level immortal resources.
The second important thing that changed was the mainstream cultivation techniques. After years of research, cultivators, and elementals finally merged the two techniques and invented a way to convert one to another with little loss.
Nowadays, nearly nobody cultivates the old techniques.
The clash of cultures usually leads to sparks of innovation. This was exactly what happened here. Both techniques had their own shortcomings and strong points. Combined, the resulting techniques were better than both.
The new technique has only five realms.
The first realm is called 'Energy,' the second is 'Element,' the third is 'Body,' the fourth is 'Soul,' and the fifth is 'Fragment Law.'
Those in the first stage of the Energy Realm are as strong as early Energy Gathering cultivators, while those in the tenth stage of the Energy Realm are as strong as peak Nascent Soul cultivators. However, unlike peak Nascent Soul cultivators, those at the peak of the newly invented Energy Realm do not have any meaningful cultivation in the way of the soul. Their power comes only from the cultivation of energy.
The next is called the 'Element' Realm. Those at the first stage of this realm are as strong as early Divine Soul cultivators, while those at the peak of this realm are as strong as the peak of the Substance Soul Realm. This realm involves attaching elements to one's mana. While this realm does not involve the soul at all, those in this realm have nothing less compared to Divine Soul and Substance Soul cultivators. This realm has been mainly inspired by the elemental cultivators. Geniuses of this realm can invent sub-elements by combining main elements.
The next realm is the 'Body' Realm. Those at the first stage of this realm are as strong as the Multiple Soul Realm, while those at the peak of it are as strong as those at the peak of the Void Soul Realm. The 'Body' Realm involves training the body to the point of perfection, making it extremely durable and powerful.
The fourth realm, the one after 'Body,' is called 'Soul.' Cultivators of this realm finally start learning about the soul. Those at the initial stage of this realm are as strong as the initial stage of Soul Transformation, while those at the peak of it are much stronger than the peak of Soul Transformation but not quite as powerful as the initial stage of the Perfection Realm.
The fifth is called the 'Fragment Law' Realm. Those in this realm are as strong as Perfection cultivators. Even though the peak perfection realm's pure strength is similar to that of those who reach the peak of the Fragment law realm, those who cultivate the new technique have a better chance of crafting their complete law.
This new cultivation technique, called 'Soul Element,' is compatible with all the techniques from the two worlds. It is much easier and a bit faster to cultivate, and the mortality rate is also lower. It is superior in every way.
Of course, the two worlds don't know that Jack in the inheritance world has access to another upgraded cultivation technique comparable to or better than the Soul Element cultivation technique.
In any case, this new cultivation technique changes the world. It changes what resources are useful, what techniques are popular and which are not, and the number of cultivators. Its effects are felt in every corner.
Even though they have the technique, none of the ten-element cultivators or Perfection cultivators have yet changed and converted their techniques. For them, converting to this very advanced cultivation technique, even though possible, is no easy task and will most likely take at least one million years.
Many other changes happen, but none are as important as these two.
