"You kid, you really dare to think about it, but it is indeed possible."

Onyx Orchid appeared beside Ethan, arms folded, expression somewhere between mockery and approval. His ethereal robes fluttered though there was no wind, his presence ancient and unfathomable.

"Being born without spiritual roots is a congenital deficiency, but it is not a terminal disease. Without innate spiritual roots, one can have acquired spiritual roots."

Ethan's eyes narrowed, thoughts racing.

"The acquired spiritual roots… what is the difference?"

"Acquired means taking a spiritual root from another cultivator," Onyx Orchid said slowly.

"But this method is extremely difficult. Once a spiritual root is separated from its body, it rapidly dries up. By the time it is transplanted into you, it will be in a half-dead state."

He paced in the air, hands clasped behind his back.

"If you want to maintain vitality, you must have three kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Even then, the success rate increases by less than thirty percent."

Ethan chuckled softly. "A thirty percent chance is not small—worth a try. Tell me, what three treasures are needed?"

"The Immortal Elixir Jade Clear Elixir, Ten Thousand Year Bodhi Fruit, and the Creation Pill of Heaven and Earth."

Ethan fell silent.

"…"

His brows knitted.

He had possessed the Creation Pill of Heaven and Earth once—but had already consumed it.

"Fortunately, I don't need extremely rare holy Elixirs," Ethan said.

"I'll find a way to collect them."

Onyx Orchid's lips curled faintly.

"If you can really gather these three, the success rate may reach ninety percent."

Ethan blinked, puzzled.

"How so?"

"Because you have a Pure Spiritual Body. Once the spiritual roots are transplanted, they can merge with it. The Pure Spiritual Body nourishes and revives spiritual roots."

A spark of humor flickered in Onyx Orchid's gaze.

"Even if the transplanted root is on the verge of drying up, the Pure Spiritual Body can successfully revive it."

Ethan's eyes brightened, excitement stirring.

"That's a good feeling."

He dispersed the manifestation of the two physiques.

Once he possessed spiritual roots, fused the two Ancient Spiritual body and the Holy body, and cultivated both body and spiritual energy simultaneously—his strength would skyrocket. His battle power might rise to level he didn't imagine.

At that moment—

[Warm reminder: System upgrade successful]

Alicia's soft voice flowed into his mind. Light gathered in front of him, forming the graceful figure of a beautiful girl. Her posture was elegant, her expression serene.

[Hello Sir, Alicia 3.0 will continue to serve you.]

She bowed slightly, then flicked her wrist. A holographic interface appeared before him.

[This update includes: map expansion, intelligence database enhancement, new mall, and lottery section.]

Ethan tapped the mall panel.

Six slots appeared—each covered with a question mark.

"Huh? Why are there no products?"

[The mall will open when you complete your next fishing mission. At that time, precious treasures will be available for selection.]

"I see. What about the lottery section?"

Alicia's voice continued:

[Bronze fishing spots grant one lottery chance and one fishing point.]

[Silver spots grant two lottery chances and ten fishing points.]

[Gold spots grant three lottery chances and thirty fishing points.]

[Platinum spots grant four lottery chances and fifty fishing points.]

[Diamond spots grant five lottery chances and one hundred fishing points.]

[Lottery chances are used to draw prizes, and fishing points is used in the mall. The mall refreshes once a month.]

Ethan nodded, satisfied.

"Not bad. Not bad at all."

Fishing now meant more than obtaining treasures—there were layered benefits, easier access, and long-term accumulation.

Excitement flickered in his eyes.

"Alright then, give me a fishing mission."

[Warm reminder: Fishing tasks are randomly distributed. Please wait patiently.]

[As part of the update, you will receive an upgrade gift package. Please check.]

Alicia extended her palm.

A golden fish-shaped clay jar materialized, gleaming brilliantly.

[Golden Fish Jar — open it to obtain items, with a chance for rare rewards.]

The jar drifted toward Ethan.

A small hammer appeared in his hand.

He struck.

Dang—

A clear tone rang out. Cracks spread over the jar's surface. Golden radiance erupted like sunlight breaking through thunderclouds.

"Golden!"

Ethan exclaimed instinctively—his reflex now conditioned. Golden light always meant something good.

The jar shattered, revealing a scroll floating before him.

"What is this? A Secret technique, or a Inheritance technique?" Ethan asked.

Alicia announced:

[Congratulations, Sir for receiving the rare reward—The Infinite Ten Thousand Beasts Technique!]

Ethan's heartbeat tightened.

"The Infinite Ten Thousand Beasts Technique?"

He unfurled the scroll. Purple characters rose from it, swirling into a radiant stream that poured directly into his consciousness.

[Infinite Ten Thousand Beasts Technique: (Holy Grade Secret Technique) A supreme method for controlling holy beasts, capable of commanding all kinds of beasts!]

Just one sentence—

But it shook Ethan to his core.

Control all beasts.

What kind of concept was that?

Monsters were fierce by nature. The stronger the bloodline, the more terrifying the intellect. Taming a powerful one was incredibly difficult.

Ethan had Solara—a Phoenix.

But he raised her from an egg. She was family—no need for taming.

But how often did the world offer Divine Beast eggs?

Normally, to tame a monster, you had to defeat it, then bind it with a soul contract. Yet truly powerful beasts would rather die, destroy their beast cores, or explode their bodies than submit.

Thus—

Taming strong beasts was nearly impossible.

But the Infinite Ten Thousand Beasts Technique changed the rules of the world.

First: Cultivating it increased affinity with demonic beasts.

Second: It was a soul secret art that could influence beast minds.

Third: The soul contracts formed through it became stronger, making spiritual pets more loyal and docile.

But the final effect—

Was the most terrifying of all.

The Infinite Ten Thousand Beasts Technique actually allowed cultivator and beast to grow stronger together.

No matter which side grows stronger, part of its cultivation level will be fed back to the other.
