My Crazy Upgrade System

The Spirit Race Ancestor didn’t try to dissuade Yi Tianyun from his decision. He simply smiled and said, "No matter what you choose, Spirit King, we will support you. We will take care of everything here, so you can just relax and be our hands-off Spirit King."

Yi Tianyun smiled back. This was exactly the kind of support he needed, something Ren Long could never achieve. The Celestial Dragon Empire had no shortage of talent, but when it came to inspiring loyalty, they were a far cry from Yi Tianyun’s faction, especially since he had been gone for several years. That was why Ren Long had to remain in the Celestial Dragon Empire and govern personally.

Once the location was chosen, there was basically nothing left for Yi Tianyun to do. Seizing the free moment, he went into a cultivation room and immediately activated the Super Enhanced Lottery Wheel. He wasn’t about to let the lottery chance he’d earned go to waste.

"Start!"

Yi Tianyun used his lottery chance, and the wheel began to spin rapidly. At the same time, he activated his Luck Aura, and his Luck Level instantly skyrocketed. He had upgraded it once before, making his Luck Level even more astonishing.

’With a Luck Level this high, there’s no way I won’t get a Divine Skill!’ He had never drawn a Divine Skill from this version of the wheel before, so he was determined to give it a proper try and see if he could get one.

’It’s not like I don’t have many Divine Skills already, but who would complain about having too many? When it comes to Divine Skills, the more the better. I’ll take as many as I can get. If I could cycle through them all in a fight, my enemy would be completely obliterated.’

’Please be a Divine Skill, please be a Divine Skill...’

Yi Tianyun prayed inwardly. ’I have so much good karma, plus this powerful Luck Aura. Am I really not going to get a single Divine Skill?’

Soon, the lottery wheel slowed, and the pointer finally came to a stop on the "Special" category, not on "Divine Skill."

’So I still couldn’t get a Divine Skill...’

Yi Tianyun couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. It seemed the Divine Skill category was simply too hard to hit; even with his considerable good karma, he couldn’t get one easily. He wasn’t exactly sure how the odds on this lottery wheel worked, but one thing was certain: the more advanced the wheel, the lower the probability of drawing something Rare.

However, drawing an item from the second-rarest category was already quite good.

"I wonder what it could be?" Yi Tianyun was still a little excited. After all, it was from the second-rarest category, and he had yet to receive anything terrible from it, so he remained hopeful.

WHOOSH...

A small box appeared in his inventory. His heart thumping with excitement, he opened it, and a Treasure was revealed.

"Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully obtaining the Rare Item ’Phantom Cloak’!"

Phantom Cloak: Grants immunity to any attack from cultivators at or below the Spirit King Stage for ten seconds. Cooldown: two hours.

"What a great item!"

Yi Tianyun couldn’t help but exclaim. The effect was similar to his previous Shadow Cloak, but it lasted even longer. Most importantly, its defensive capacity was greatly enhanced. The Shadow Cloak could only block attacks from cultivators at the Core Formation Stage or below. This new one was far superior, undoubtedly another life-saving tool in his arsenal.

’As expected of the Super Enhanced Lottery Wheel. At this level, even the consumables are excellent. It wouldn’t matter on a free spin, but if I’d paid for it myself, landing on a consumable would have been a waste.’

’Two million Madness Value points isn’t exactly easy to earn.’

With this new Treasure, he was even safer. Venturing into perilous lands would be no problem.

’Entering the Netherworld Passage will undoubtedly be safer now.’ Yi Tianyun nodded, then walked out of the cultivation room. He soon found Shi Xueyun, who was feeding Spirit Fruits to Yan’Er. The little girl ate everything she was given, savoring each bite.

Seeing the two of them together, Yi Tianyun gave a knowing smile. They really looked like a mother and daughter. But as he looked at Yan’Er, a thought struck him. ’Should I take her back to the Phoenix Nest first?’

’First off, I have a quest for that. If I complete it, not only will I get a good reward, but I’ll also gain the help of the Phoenixes. Prioritizing this seems like a better idea. The Netherworld Passage can wait.’

After thinking it through, Yi Tianyun walked up to them and said, "Aunt, I’ve decided to take her to the Phoenix Nest first. Her mother entrusted me with returning her there."

"You’re taking her back already...?" Shi Xueyun sounded reluctant. She had only been with the girl for a short while and already felt very sad to see her go.

"Yes. I was entrusted with this, and I have to see it through." Yi Tianyun had already made a vow, so he had to complete his promise. Even without the quest, he would still have to return Yan’Er to the Phoenix Nest.

’That’s the best place for her to live. The outside world isn’t her true home.’

"Alright then..." Shi Xueyun sighed, then asked, "Do you know where the Phoenix Nest is?"

"That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll be back soon." Yi Tianyun had Soul Guidance, so he was confident that finding the Phoenix Nest wouldn’t be a major issue.

’If I didn’t have Soul Guidance, I would really have to reconsider whether to take her back now. But with Soul Guidance, it’s a different story. I can get it done quickly, fulfilling my promise and completing the quest at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone.’

"Daddy, where are we going?" Yan’Er asked, relentlessly stuffing Spirit Fruits into her mouth as if she couldn’t stop.

"We’re going home," Yi Tianyun said. He couldn’t help but smile at the sight. ’What a total little foodie.’

"Going home...?" A peculiar light flickered in Yan’Er’s clear eyes, as if she remembered something but couldn’t quite grasp it.

The parents of every Divine Beast implant certain memories that only awaken when their child reaches a certain age. The word "home" had clearly stirred something within her, but for the moment, she couldn’t quite grasp what it was.

After handling a few more matters, Yi Tianyun didn’t delay and immediately flew off with Yan’Er. He didn’t know when Ming Chen’s forces would attack, but what he needed to do now was complete his quests quickly and strengthen his own faction.

However, before leaving, he left behind two Giant Dragons to protect the place. Though he was leaving, his host of pets remained, more than capable of fending off any powerful enemies.

After flying up with Yan’Er, he immediately used Soul Guidance, muttering, "Help me find the Phoenix Nest!"

HUMMM! A column of light enveloped him, and he immediately felt a force pulling him, persistently guiding him forward. He followed the sensation, flying onward for a long time until a grim passage came into view. It was surrounded by a pitch-black forest, creating a sinister and terrifying scene.

"It can’t be this way, can it...?"

Yi Tianyun was stunned. The area before him was none other than the Netherworld Passage!
