[Congratulations! You completed the quest]
[Rewards]: Restore user condition to its optimal state.
[Accepte]
[Yes/No]
Hengsheng pressed his finger on "Yes" immediately. A moment later, the golden light came out of nowhere to envelop his body entirely; he felt it was healing him, fixing the wound on his spirit core, and finally stabilizing this cultivation realm instantly!
The relaxed sensation made him feel a little sleepy, but he forced himself to wake and observe himself with the divine sense; another time, he felt awe at the power of heavenly dao. It put his body in peak condition just like that, and he did not even feel any effort to do so.
With the time limit no longer a concern, Hengsheng took a moment to reflect on what had just happened. "A connection between me and the Heavenly Dao like this will surely make my life difficult..." He realized that there was a chance the Heavenly Dao might turn him into its personal servant and control him through the quest. This thought made him frown—even though he could sever the connection after using its power, the price would have to be paid in another way, whether through karma or misfortune. He resolved that it was better to keep the connection intact to discern the Heavenly Dao's true intentions. "Whatever comes, I will be ready," he declared, firmly establishing his resolve to fight anything Heavenly Dao throws at him.
Hengsheng then decided to set this matter aside and focus on finishing the system upgrade plan. He had already created an updated version of the system, but with the new knowledge of the tiering system he had just acquired, he decided to make a few more adjustments. Quickly, he entered the System World and made the necessary modifications, updating several components until he was completely satisfied.
After he was done with the design, he opened his eyes and quickly brought a mountain of spirit stones to lay around him. He intended to use it in case the energy drain was more than he expected. He learned this through suffering. With everything ready, he began to proceed with the update; he murdered only when he heard it: "Initialize the system update."

[Upgrading The Strongest Cultivator System….]
Crack! Hengsheng eyes wide, and he tries to look where the cracking sound is coming from. He did not want to be injured again second in one day, but after carefully observing his own body, there was nothing wrong… Crack! Once again, the sound came out. This time, he knew now where it was coming from. It was a spirit stone aside from him. it was drained so quickly that it shattered instantly. Crack!! He turned a bit pale from seeing the rate of the system upgrade drain, but he did not feel it inside his body. It was like the proceed chose to drain the outside Spiritual Qi first. This must be another side effect of the Heavenly Dao Connector.
Hengsheng quickly brought out more spirit stones. He sensed the interior of his space ring and could not help but pity himself. The spirit stones that he carried around were massive compared to the same generation of him, but even with that, they were almost gone now. The million low-rank spirit stones are now only 100,000 left due to his cultivation consumption for the last two years.
He immediately understands why people like to kill each other just for a couple of treasures. It turns out that no matter how much you have, it will never be enough! One after another, spirit stones have been shattered; he also brought out more spirit stones to continue the process. He can feel that soon, it will be a complete upgrade. "This is boring; I should add the instant progress function after this."
As Hengsheng predicts, the system update is complete after it drains more than half of this spirit stone.

Hengsheng smirks with his new system upgrade. It seems similar in appearance, but the system function power is greatly enchanted, and almost all limitations are eliminated.
A new sensation rushed through him as the system optimized his entire being. His movements were precise, his body felt light, and his senses were sharper. As he moved to test out his new system's power, he realized that this precise control revealed much about himself. He instantly knew how hard his punch was without needing to test it directly; he could feel every fiber of his muscles with the slightest touch. This level of control was completely different from before.
Every movement now seemed effortless, as if his body and mind were perfectly synchronized. He marveled at his newfound power and anticipated even greater feats in battle and cultivation.
While Hengsheng celebrated his success, he suddenly sensed someone lingering outside his cave. Frowning—he had already warned others not to disturb him—he glanced at Yunsu, who was still in the midst of her Rank-up and tried not to disrupt her progress. Reluctantly, he opened his cave and found the one to whom he had given the divine leaves standing there, visibly anxious.
Hengsheng's eyes narrowed as he demanded, "What is your business here?"
The clanmate, unable to hide his urgency, replied, "Brother Hengsheng, just a moment—there's a group from our clan coming this way, but a strange demon beast, similar to the one that wiped out the rocky mountain, is after them. It has now entered the cave. Others have opposed it, but we haven't been able to kill it. I came here to ask for your help"
Hengsheng felt goosebumps after hearing that the monster was appearing. Even though it wasn't strong, its mere presence made him want to wash his eyes with soap. However, he didn't have time to wait; life and death were a matter of seconds. "Lead me the way now!" he commanded. Responding to his command,
the guy quickly led him through the cave network. After two minutes, they reached the scene. What he saw was a monster with a disgusting shape, similar to the one in the endless forest, but this one was smaller and had a large mouth at the end of its long body.
It was currently being focused fire by his clanmate's spamming qi technique, with more than thirty of them attacking the monster from afar, causing its flesh to burst every second. However, it also regenerated instantly, keeping pace with the attacks, which made their faces pale as they had never seen anything like this before.
As Hengsheng stepped onto the battlefield, he shouted, "Everyone, step back!" Despite his presence, no one followed his command.
Some clanmates attacking the monster shouted, "Brother Hengsheng, this demon beast can't be killed. It will recover instantly if we stop attacking it, and we might all die!"
Hengsheng nodded, understanding their fear. They worried that once the monster was free, it would leap into the air and kill some of them, but he wouldn't let that happen. "I have a way to kill it; you guys back off and don't get in my way!"
Others seemed shocked by his claim and exchanged glances, yet they continued their offensive techniques, not daring to stop. Hengsheng shouted once more, "Now!" Finally, they leaped back as far from the monster as possible.
Just as his clanmates had said, the moment they stopped attacking, the monster instantly recovered and leaped at the nearest person. the person's face went pale as he thought about how to deal with the next life. But before the monster could reach the man, Hengsheng appeared between them.
He was now enveloped by the aura of Dao heart and sent a Qi palm at the monster. "Pak!" Its entire body exploded, and it roared in pain from its multiple mouths. The other clanmates, hearing this, were stunned by the monster's reaction because, despite their nonstop attacks, it had never roared with pain even once. However, with one attack from Hengsheng, they could finally feel that the monster was hurt for the first time.
The monster began to recover, but it was significantly slower. Hengsheng didn't give it a chance to recover; he launched another attack. "Pak!" Just like that, another loop of beating began.
