Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"That Eight-Armed Vajra stands eight feet tall, with a waist that's also eight feet around, having implanted the bloodline of the four-armed ape, his power is unmatched."

"Ah? Then why is he called the Eight-Armed Vajra?"

"If you let me finish, aside from the heterogeneous grafting, he has also undergone mechanical modification, and has four mechanical arms that can be hidden within his flesh arms. Doesn't that make eight? And it's said that he has mastered a good number of battle techniques, multi-route cultivation."

"Wasn't it said that he's about to manifest a new ability?"

"You're not letting me finish again, that new ability doesn't conflict, so he has that too!"

"..."

Tao Yu stood at the entrance of the mission hall, feeling somewhat speechless as he listened to the two people beside him casually chatting about himself.

He was here waiting for someone. Although the mission hall, as a landmark building, had a specifically demarcated teaming up area, many people still preferred to meet here.

"Mr. Tao."

Tao Yu didn't have to wait long before a boar-man and a Lizardman arrived together.

Upon seeing them, Tao Yu nodded, then turned to walk toward a corner, no longer wanting to hear the 'fierce and menacing' descriptions from over there.

Indeed, when official historical information doesn't flow, it's a heyday for unofficial histories.

Rumors and their debunking are, to some extent, much the same.

No official news? Well, I might as well start a rumor!

"Mr. Tao, this is our payment. Please verify it."

The boar-man respectfully handed a sheet and several magnetic cards to Tao Yu, who checked the amount and, finding no error, signed off with a puff and a satisfied air.

Seeing that Tao Yu had completed the transaction, the Lizardman performed the same action.

Just a single transaction, and a whopping one and a half million Yuan Force was credited into his account!

"The three great miraculous scripts are surely pricier than the Nine Yin True Scripture, and I haven't even saved up enough for a second-stage Deification..." Tao Yu thought with a tinge of regret.

Now that his True Qi was already overflowing his meridians, even if he practiced with Acceleration, he had to orderly expand his meridians before filling them up, and the improvement speed was incomparable to before.

This made Tao Yu think of the Yellow-style martial skills' demand on age, perhaps it's because the Yellow-style martial arts could rapidly expand the meridians while young and not fully set.

The Great Shift of Qiankun had reached the fourth level as soon as he arrived at the Bright Summit. After going back, he used up Yuan Force to speedily advance his Inner Strength cultivation, and only upon returning here did he recently manage to enter the fifth level naturally.

This brought to Tao Yu's mind the Demonic Emperor's relic.

The He's Jade Disc could potentially become a fragment of the Heart of the World, but the Demonic Emperor's relic should be something that increases one's power, shouldn't it?

"Alright, that's it then, money and goods changing hands, let's hope we have another chance to cooperate in the future."

Having received so much money, Tao Yu still offered a smile.

Even if the two families opposite him were considered to have grievances with Tao Yu, his smile didn't falter.

"Ah, Mr. Tao, our patriarch truly wishes to engage with you in a more in-depth partnership."

The boar-man chuckled, and as the intentions of both parties seemed aligned, the Lizardman speaking on their behalf said,

"Although Mr. Tao is under the protection of the two Suns, surely it's not convenient to bother them with everything, right?"

Tao Yu looked at them and nodded, also understanding what their notion of 'cooperation' was.

Indeed, the Lizardman's face then showed a smile,

"Our Longxi Clan and their Beast Tamers family are both first-class families within the Inner City. Although there were some misunderstandings previously, those have been resolved, so we hope that Mr. Tao would have closer ties with us in the new Development Zone."

"Do you need me to stay at the base permanently?"

When it came to profits, Tao Yu truly had no aversions. If you want to smash me with money, bring it on—I can take it!

But if it meant being tied down, then no thank you.

"Uh, that would be preferable, yes."

"Then I'm sorry, I like wandering around outside. As you know, my foundation is weak; to improve, I have to work extremely hard," said Tao Yu, rejecting the offer outright.

"But we have something..."

"You have a fragment of the Heart of the World for me?"

The words from Tao Yu made the two fall abruptly silent.

As if we would have that, even if we did, it would surely be for our own direct heirs!

Then they started to understand a bit why Tao Yu's strength had improved so quickly!

It seems the other party acquired a new talent through a stroke of luck!

And with that, it all made sense...

Hearing this, the two actually felt envious. Indeed, in the Abyss, luck is often even more important than strength.

"Ah, it's truly a bit regrettable. I hope we have other opportunities for cooperation."

The two took the opportunity to inquire, hoping that the other party would be interested, as both of their newly developed zones were lacking in core members. This time, they were truly sincere!

If the other party was not willing, this kind of cooperation could not be forced.

"That'll do for now. I still need to report for work, and I'll have to leave soon."

Tao Yu voluntarily revealed his upcoming outing.

"Please, go ahead."

The two hurriedly made way, and Tao Yu nodded and left...

...

"Haha, you don't hold back, do you? Even a beauty like Tilly ended up like that because of you."

In the hall, with no one else nearby, Sun Shiqing became informal and giggled as she wrapped her arm around Tao Yu's shoulder.

Currently, Ao was teaching Sun Shiyu upstairs, so Tao Yu was playing with Sun Shiqing first.

"I only have your sister in my heart."

Tao Yu said solemnly.

"Oh my, brother-in-law doesn't even have me in his heart."

Sun Shiqing sighed with a look of regret on her pretty face.

This made Tao Yu roll his eyes involuntarily; she really knew how to play around.

However, Tao Yu also vaguely felt that Sun Shiqing seemed to have some issues, but he couldn't just ask without boundaries.

"And here I even learned a skill especially for you, sigh."

"Shiqing, your importance is only second to your sister..."

...

"This 'God-Containing Technique' can be seen as opening a second sea of consciousness at the third eye, and while it can't create additional spiritual power, it can store the spiritual power that dissipates over time, nourishing back when needed.

"When trained to the extreme, it can form the Third Eye of Void that sees through illusion. However, because one can easily see some strange things, one must have sufficient meditation technique proficiency before delving deeper..."

Dressed in an oversized cartoon T-shirt and with her long legs bare, Sun Shiqing sat opposite Tao Yu. She pointed at the center of Tao Yu's forehead, imparting the essence of the skill to him.

"Does it have offensive capabilities?"

Tao Yu inquired.

"A little, but the primary function of this skill isn't attack; it's defense and complementing weaknesses..."

This skill was mostly about seeing through illusions and enhancing spiritual resistance. In fact, Tao Yu himself was immune to these, making it somewhat redundant. The biggest help this skill could offer him was increasing his reserve of spiritual power.

Under his own "Accommodating All Forms" unity of body, breath, and spirit, this skill's reserve function would become more pronounced once developed, indirectly strengthening his overall endurance.

Coupled with "Authority: Cost" anchoring, Tao Yu felt he could finally shed some of his bizarre titles.

"As for attack, it can create simple illusions, but like 'Spirit Stinger,' it requires significant downward compatibility. It's only evident against those with much weaker mental strength. You see, it's not going to be very useful on you."

"No, defense is great. Some of the weird and strange powers in the Abyss need to be countered with this, increasing the margin for error significantly."

Tao Yu reversed Sun Shiqing's point without suggesting defense was of little use.

"Of course, who do you think chose the skill?"

...

"Amitabha, is this the base beyond the sky... Truly extraordinary."

Abbot Tian Ming stepped off the bus, looking at the base in front of him and couldn't help but heave a sigh.

This time he led the team personally, aiming to secure opportunities for Shaolin in the upcoming major shifts.

Now Shaolin also had a Chosen One stationed there, beginning to hunt Titans, while he and others sought to carve out space for Shaolin here.

After the descent of the Celestial Maiden, he had already made his choice.

Just as generations had loyally submitted to the imperial court throughout history...

"Abbot Tian Ming, no harm done."

Tao Yu stood in front of the bus fleet with a smile, and it was only then that Abbot Tian Ming suddenly snapped out of it, wondering why he had completely overlooked this person just now. That shouldn't have happened.

"Amitabha, this old monk was somewhat dazzled by the journey and did not see Tao layman before. Please forgive me..."

"No problem, I was just testing a little skill. Young Master Sun has already arranged a teaching place for you. Please put in more effort in our joint struggle against the Abyss."

Tao Yu waved his hand with a smile at Tian Ming.

This visit was to check on his future cash cow and to test the post-deification effects of the "God-Containing Technique."

So far, the results looked good; it could combine with "Soul Transfer" to create the level of an illusion technique.

Even a monk like Tian Ming, who had a strong mental realm, was significantly affected without realizing it.

It would add quite a bit of convenience to everyday life.

Alright, it was about time to head to Great Tang...
