Seven Deadly Sins System

After Lu Yuan made a few more insinuations to Chu Wuyao and suggested that he could help join senior sister Luo's command, he hurriedly left, seemingly having more important things to do.

As Chu Wuyao remained alone in the room, she recalled Lu Yuan's previous words and his reminder and with a serious expression, she took a blue piece of paper out of her space ring.

When she looked at it, she found that there were densely packed words on the surface of this blue paper.

"Sister Chu, how are you?"

"Sister Chu, did you wake up?"

"Sister Chu, I've broken through again!"

"Sister Chu, when will we meet?"

"Sister Chu, I miss you..."

Reading through these messages, even though Chu Wuyao had an urge to complain, she still responded with the words "Me too" against her conscience.

This blue piece of paper in her hands was actually a talisman that Xia Qianyue gave her right before the two of them separated.

To be more accurate, this talisman was a very rare communication talisman that allowed cultivators to communicate with each other over long distances.

Over the past few weeks, instead of becoming more distant, Chu Wuyao's relationship with Xia Qianyue had become even closer, as the two of them had kept in touch using this talisman.

Chu Wuyao was quite surprised by this function and she almost had the illusion that she was in a long distance relationship.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh about the brilliance of the cultivator's civilization.

Although she didn't know what the exact range of this talisman was, she was pretty sure that it was quite large.

After all, even though the Sword Palace was the force that was the closest to the Original Desire Sect, the actual distance between these forces was actually massive.

Suppressing her curiosity, Chu Wuyao went straight to the point.

"Did anything happen to the Sword Palace over the past few days?", her Mana entered the talisman and she sent a message with one of her thoughts.

As if Xia Qianyue had been waiting for her words, she received it instantly and it didn't take long for her to respond.

"Sister Chu, how do you know?"

"Indeed, there have been a few rumors spreading in the palace that the elders are planning to do something big."

"But I've heard from my master that this will only affect the older disciples."

Having said that, Xia Qianyue didn't seem willing to say anything more and inadvertently changed the topic of the conversation.

"By the way, sister Chu, when are you going to visit me?"

"I'm planning to introduce you to my master and ask him to help you join the Sword Palace."

"This way, the two of us can be together!"

"Nothing will be able to separate us!"

Faced with Xia Qianyue's aggressive messages, Chu Wuyao, who didn't know the seriousness of the situation, responded that she would think about it.

After the two exchanged a few more messages, Chu Wuyao was finally able to calm down the excited Xia Qianyue and then, she put the communication talisman away.

"It seems that what Lu Yuan said is most likely true.", she thought.

Even though Xia Qianyue wasn't willing to say much, from her words, it was clear that there were also rumors spreading in the Sword Palace, just like there were rumors spreading in the Original Desire Sect.

Chu Wuyao didn't believe that it was just a coincidence that there were rumors spreading in both of these major forces at the same time.

That would simply be too big of a coincidence.

Instead, she preferred to believe that not only the Original Desire Sect, but also the other major forces were planning to do something together.

"According to what Lu Yuan said, the sect has never forced the inner disciples to participate in the events before."

"Of course, it is inevitable that the sect's evaluation of the disciples that choose to not participate will lessen and they will receive much support in the future."

"This is why most inner disciples choose to participate."

"Moreover, although these events are quite dangerous, they are bound to be accompanied by many opportunities.", Chu Wuyao calmly analyzed and became a little tempted.

Long ago, Chu Wuyao had already realized that even if she possessed the Seven Deadly Sins System, she wouldn't be able to quietly stay in the sect and cultivate and she would still have to leave the sect and fight with other cultivators to obtain opportunities.

For example, the main reason why she was able to break through the Shackles Realm so quickly was not because of the system, but because of the Qi Pills that her opponents "gifted" her and the inheritance of the Mist Dragon.

Without obtaining these things, Chu Wuyao would have still been an outer disciple and it was very likely that she would have died at the hands of Li Ruoshi during the sect competition.

This was true for the Qi Accumulation Realm and it was even more true for the Shackles Realm.

Since Chu Wuyao needed to spend 10 Sin Points in order to break a shackle, she would have to spend about 100.000 Sin Points to break all 9999 shackles and reach the peak of the Shackles Realm.

Then, to completely understand the Mist World Authority and have a chance to break through the Awakening Realm, she would have to spend 50.000 more Sin Points.

And this was only the bare minimum.

In addition to these, it was inevitable that she would have to spend some points to increase the proficiency of her skills and Devil abilities, as well as to deal with some unexpected situations that might occur.

Most importantly, Chu Wuyao had not forgotten that the Mist World Authority was only a High-Grade Authority and above it, there were also Supreme-Grade Authorities.

Cultivators at the Shackles Realm could understand more than one Authority, which was also the reason why the quasi-core disciples were suppressing their cultivation.

If Chu Wuyao had the chance, she would not hesitate to understand a Supreme-Grade Authority.

She didn't know why, but it was obvious that this should be very beneficial to her future cultivation journey.

"Killing Ren Sang only gave me about 5.000 Sin Points, but to reach the true peak of the Shackles Realm, I will have to spend at least 150.000 Sin Points."

"This means that unless I spend years cultivating on my own or I obtain a suitable opportunity, I would have to kill tens of Shackles Realm cultivators just to have a chance to break through the Awakening Realm."

In fact, this was simply impossible.

If she were to kill so many Shackles Realm cultivators, it was very likely that she would attract the attention of powerful cultivators and be slapped to death.

As for killing cultivators at the Qi Accumulation Realm?

Chu Wuyao had tried it before and found that with her breakthrough, she could no longer get any Sin Points through killing Qi Accumulation Realm cultivators.

When these facts were laid in front of her like this, the decision of whether to participate in the future event became quite clear.

"Of course I'll participate..."

"... But before that, I'll have to increase my strength as much as possible to ensure that I can save my life in case of danger.", Chu Wuyao whispered and brought up the system panel.

[Name: Chu Wuyao]

[Race: Devil(Bloodline: Celestial Devil)]

[Devil Rank: Lower Devil]

[Cultivation: Shackles Realm(7 Shackles)]

[Blood Demon Body: 10th Level(400/100000) - Equivalent to the Shackles Realm]

[Techniques: Original Desire Sutra]

[Skills: Seven Stars Swordsmanship(30/500000), Original Desire Soul(70/50000), Blood Essence Analysis(100/100000), Mist Domain(11200/20000), Lifeblood Flame(760/10000), Blood Slave Creation(320/1000)]

[Devil Abilities: True Form(0.1%), Devil Contract(1.4%), Camouflage(1.7%), Devil Summoning(0.6%), Devil Body(2.3%)]

[Authorities: Mist World(Seed)(1.5%)]

[Sin Points: 8800]

There were actually not many changes on the system panel, with the only changes being the new skills that she had obtained and the increase of her proficiency.

With her breakthrough, Chu Wuyao found that it had become way easier to understand the previous, low-level skills she possessed and the proficiency of these skills had increased by a lot in just a few days.

This was especially true for the Mist Domain skill, and Chu Wuyao noticed that as her understanding of the Mist Authority improved, the proficiency of this skill would also increase.

However, Chu Wuyao only briefly glanced at these changes and didn't pay much attention.

Instead, her focus turned to the bottom of the panel, at the Sin Points she had unknowingly accumulated.

Even though she had used some of them during her breakthrough, with Ren Sang's selfless sacrifice, not only did her balance not decrease, but it had almost doubled.

Looking at the Sin Points, Chu Wuyao found that she currently had three options.

She could use these Sin Points to improve her cultivation and body cultivation, to increase the proficiency of her skills and Devil abilities, or to increase her understanding of the Mist World Authority.

Thinking about it, she quickly ruled out the first and the third options.

Although improving her understanding of the Mist World Authority was very beneficial, it actually wouldn't increase her combat power in a short period of time.

On the other hand, even though breaking more shackles would improve her strength, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

In fact, even if breaking a shackle would improve the cultivator's strength, this improvement was actually quite limited.

It was only when a cultivator broke through from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage and then to the Late Stage, as well as when a cultivator broke all the shackles in a part of their body that their strength would massively improve.

Possessing the Original Desire Sutra, Chu Wuyao knew that in this world, cultivators believed that the human body was divided into six different parts, namely: two arms, two legs, a head and a torso.

Not all parts contained the same amount of shackles, with each of the limbs and the head containing 1111 shackles and the torso containing the rest of the shackles, 4444 to be more exact.

This meant that if Chu Wuyao wanted to have a significant improvement in strength, she would have to break all the shackles on her head, which was currently impossible.

"Similarly, body cultivation is no longer divided into different stages."

"Instead, the 10th Level of the Blood Demon Body is equivalent to the entire Shackles Realm", Chu Wuyao thought and understood that it would take her 33.333 Sin Points for her physical strength to be equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm.

In the end, Chu Wuyao was surprised to find that she seemed to have only one last option left.

Or at the very least, this was the option that seemed to be the most cost-effective at the moment.

"In fact, during my fight with Ren Sang, the lack of proficiency in my skills became quite apparent."

"With my Devil bloodline, body cultivation and True Form, I can already match cultivators at the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm. The only thing that is lagging behind is my skills and abilities."

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao no longer hesitated and with a thought of her mind, she "clicked" on the (+) button behind her strongest skill, the Seven Stars Swordsmanship.

Instantly, Chu Wuyao's gray eyes flashed with a hint of blue and many realizations appeared in her mind.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Wuyao had the illusion that she had been wielding a sword for many years and that the Seven Stars Swordsmanship had become a part of her.

Subconsciously, she took out the Snow Dragon Sword and with a thought of her mind, many blue stars flashed on its surface.

Then, Chu Wuyao waved the Snow Dragon Sword around, seemingly swinging it casually.

There was no aura fluctuation, no sound, no change at all and her movements looked like that of a kid that had never touched a sword before.

But the next moment, under Chu Wuyao's eyes, ice started spreading throughout the whole room, from the floor, to the walls and even the ceiling.

Before long, the entire room had turned frozen, as if a snowstorm had passed by.
