Feng Chen sat in the dimly lit cave, feeling the weight of his newfound power from the Foundation Realm breakthrough. His body thrummed with energy, and a satisfied grin played on his lips.
But there was something else nagging at him... the rewards. After 15 long years in the white realm, cultivating Yin and Yang, there had to be more in store than just a couple of fancy items. His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he thought of all the treasures the System owed him.
"Alright, System," Feng Chen said, rubbing his hands together eagerly,
"Let's see what kind of treasures you've handed me. Show me the descriptions of these items."

1: Heavenly Grade Armor - Celestial Starfall Robe
- Grade: Heavenly
- Description: A robe woven from the threads of the Celestial Starfall, imbued with the essence of stars. The robe provides unparalleled defense against both physical and magical attacks, while enhancing the wearer's connection to celestial energies. It grows stronger with the wearer, adapting to their cultivation level, and offering protection against tribulation lightning. When worn, the robe appears as a flowing tapestry of the night sky, constantly shifting and shimmering with tiny stars that twinkle like those in the heavens.
2: Growth-Type Weapon - Abyssal Devourer Blade
- Grade: Growth-Type
- Description: Forged in the deepest pits of the Abyss, this blade thirsts for power, feeding on the Qi of both the wielder and the enemies it slays. With every kill, it absorbs residual energy, growing stronger and evolving over time. The blade has a sleek, black surface with dark crimson veins that pulse ominously. Its demonic nature exudes a chilling aura, and it promises devastation for those who stand in its path. However, despite its fearsome nature, it shows unwavering loyalty to its master.

Feng Chen's eyes widened as he read the descriptions, his heart pounding with excitement.
"A heavenly-grade robe and a growth-type blade? This is beyond what I could've ever dreamed of!"
He summoned the Celestial Starfall Robe first. The robe materialized before him in a swirl of soft starlight, its dark fabric rippling like the cosmos itself. Tiny pinpricks of light twinkled on its surface, resembling stars scattered across an endless night sky.
As Feng Chen draped the robe over his shoulders, he felt an immediate surge of energy. It was as if the very essence of the stars had wrapped around him, offering him their eternal protection.
"Whoa…" Feng Chen muttered, running his hands over the celestial fabric. The robe felt impossibly light, yet indestructible, its magic pulsating in sync with his own qi. He couldn't help but grin.
"This is... incredible. I look like the heavens themselves!" He took a moment to admire his reflection in a nearby pool of water, marveling at the way the robe shifted with his movements, the stars twinkling in rhythm with his breathing.
"I look like a walking constellation!"
Next, Feng Chen summoned the Abyssal Devourer Blade. When the weapon appeared in his hand, a sharp chill ran up his arm. The blade was sleek and black as midnight, its surface marred by pulsating crimson veins that glowed faintly with a sinister light.
Holding the weapon, Feng Chen felt an insatiable hunger radiating from it... a deep, primal need for power. The blade was alive in its own way, feeding off his energy and growing stronger with each heartbeat.
He gave the sword a few test swings, and it cut through the air with deadly precision. The weapon hummed with a dark energy that felt both dangerous and thrilling.
"You and I are going to get along just fine," Feng Chen said with a grin, feeling the blade respond to his words with a subtle pulse.
"Don't worry, Abyssal Devourer, there will be plenty of enemies for you to feast on soon enough."
Standing tall in his celestial robe with the abyssal blade in hand, Feng Chen couldn't help but marvel at his transformation. He had gone from being an outcast to a celestial being clad in starlight, wielding a weapon that could devour the very souls of his enemies. He felt powerful, invincible even.
"This… this is what I've always dreamed of!" Feng Chen said, laughing.
"I've become a celestial demon of sorts! Heaven and Hell should be afraid."
But then, something struck him... a nagging feeling that he wasn't quite finished. He looked over at the System interface, a knowing smirk creeping onto his face.
"System," Feng Chen said, his tone playful but firm,
"This is fantastic and all," he said, admiring his reflection in a small pool of water nearby,
"but there's no way these are the only rewards I'm getting after fifteen years of seclusion, right?" He looked up, as if daring the System to argue with him.
"Surely, there's more? You're not going to skimp on me now, are you?"
