【Dao Fruit: Heavenly Flame, Sword Dao】

【Divine Abilities: None】

【Treasures: None】

【Pages in Hundred Lifetimes Book: 90】

【Anchor Points: 2】

As Lu Yang’s thoughts shifted, the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】 quickly manifested his current profile. As expected, the changes were exactly the same as when he first reached Foundation Establishment.

All divine abilities and treasures were cleared.

His Dao Foundation had transformed into Dao Fruits, leaving only 【Heavenly Flame】 and 【Sword Dao Fruit】, excluding both 【Seven Luminaries Heaven】 and 【Worry-Free Heaven】.

However, what surprised Lu Yang was the last section of the information page.

“Two anchor points.”

At first, he didn’t react, thinking it had counted the anchor point used during Foundation Establishment, but upon closer inspection, he realized he had been mistaken.

After advancing to True Lord, the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】 actually rewarded two anchor points. In other words, this significantly improved his tolerance for restarting. He no longer needed to worry about wasting anchor points due to a rash decision.

‘Originally, I was still a bit hesitant, but now I don’t need to be.’

Lu Yang smiled slightly. With a flick of divine sense, he directly used one of the anchor points, setting it at the moment he attained the 【Heavenly Flame】.

Lu Yang had his reasons for doing this.

First, because he had two anchor points—using one still left another. Second, he wanted to leave himself a moment in time that remained untainted.

‘Up until now, I was still an ordinary disciple of the Saint Sect with an undefined Dao Foundation and no Dao Fruit, full of endless possibilities. But if I restart now and bring back my current cultivation, that would be troublesome. So it’s better to leave an anchor point here to restart from this very moment later.’

‘To explore the secrets of heaven and earth as a True Lord with Supreme Dao Fruit, cultivating the Sword Dao Fruit.’

‘Then, if I truly need to later, I can return to my purest beginnings. That way I can also eliminate interference from external forces to the greatest extent.’

Thinking this, Lu Yang was about to close the Hundred Lifetimes Book.

After all, from his experience, upgrades to the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】 stopped at updates to anchor points and information panels. There wouldn’t be any more changes.

However, in the very next second, a popup appeared:

【Talent Fusion Page is now available. Would the host like to activate it?】

‘A new feature?’

He hadn’t expected a surprise bonus!

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up instantly, and he tapped into the so-called 【Talent Fusion Page】. The next moment, a torrent of information flooded before his eyes:

【Talent Fusion Page: Insert nine different talents into this page to have a chance of refreshing and obtaining a higher-tier talent】

【Note: The better the talents inserted, the higher the probability of obtaining a higher-tier talent. The new talent tier is based on the highest inserted tier.】

After a quick review, Lu Yang immediately understood the mechanism of this “new feature”:

In essence, it was a random talent reroll system, used to eliminate some now-useless talents in hopes of getting better ones.

The principle was simple:

You could insert up to nine talents. If the highest among them was white-tier, you could possibly get a purple-tier talent.

Similarly, if the highest tier was purple, you might get a gold-tier talent.

And the more, and higher tier, the talents inserted, the greater the chance of a superior talent appearing.

‘If I only insert one purple-tier talent, I might actually lose out and end up with a white one. But if I insert one purple-tier plus eight white-tier talents, making nine in total, then I’m guaranteed to at least get a purple-tier one—kind of a safety net.’

‘And if I insert nine purple-tier talents, the odds of getting a gold-tier are quite high.’

‘The same goes for gold-tier—if I could insert nine gold-tier talents, then I’d likely get a rainbow-tier talent.’

Rainbow-tier talents were above gold-tier.

Lu Yang was certain: since gold-tier talents let him dominate at the Foundation Establishment level, a rainbow-tier talent would definitely be useful to him as a True Lord.

‘But… do I have nine spare gold-tier talents?’

Lu Yang did the math and frowned slightly: ‘【Fate-Divining Draw】 and 【Nest Usurpation】 were both extracted from my gold attribute True Lord cultivation. They’re very effective.’

So those couldn’t be replaced.

‘【Puppet on Strings】 might not be useful now, but who knows when I’ll restart again? This talent could still come in handy.’

This one had to stay too.

‘【True Dragon Bloodline】 can’t go either—I’m relying on this to build relations with the Dragon Clan. The rest can go.’

【Innate Celestial Spirit】? Even a dog wouldn’t want that!

Along with 【Dragon Execution Platform】, 【Basket-Capacity Man】, 【Yielding to None】, 【Reincarnated Spirit Boy】, 【I Shall Lead the Charge】, 【Fortune Beyond the Corners of the Eye】—seven gold-tier talents in total.

These could be rerolled.

‘Although it’s not a full nine, this should still give me a decent chance, especially since I don’t have any extra talents left to insert.’

Besides the gold-tier talents, he only had 【Dual Cultivation Prodigy】 and 【Has Some Tricks】. These two were treasure talents—he wouldn’t part with them.

‘It’s a pity… the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】 doesn’t factor in my personal fortune when refreshing talents. It goes entirely by its own internal logic. Otherwise, given that I’ve just become a True Lord and my fortune is sky-high, I should’ve been able to get a drop no matter what.’

‘Alright then, these seven!’

Lu Yang activated his thought, and seven talents immediately entered the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】. Then, under his tense gaze, the book shut with a loud boom.

“Ka-cha!”

A sound like unlocking a mechanism came from within the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】. Then, the cover flipped open again, and a burst of rainbow radiance suddenly exploded forth!

Lu Yang was instantly overjoyed.

Soon, the multicolored light condensed before him into two lines of text:

【Rainbow-Tier Talent · A Model Teacher】

【A Model Teacher: As long as you take on disciples, the more talented they are, the higher their cultivation, the greater their achievements—the more benefits you receive as their master.】

The description wasn’t detailed.

Lu Yang deliberately expanded it, and finally understood how the talent functioned:

‘Simply put, every time I accept a disciple, I’ll receive feedback. The better their talent, cultivation, and achievements, the better the feedback.’

‘The lowest-level feedback is based on talent. If a disciple only has good talent, I’ll just get a bit of mana—not very useful. Then comes cultivation—I can gain Dao power from their cultivation. Their Dao journey becomes mine, which is quite useful.’

‘But the best feedback comes from achievement!’

‘In short, if a disciple accomplishes something earth-shattering, I’ll gain fate and karmic feedback—truly mysterious.’

Thinking of this, Lu Yang stroked his chin.

‘Looks like the 【Hundred Lifetimes Book】 really is thoughtful—knowing I planned to establish a Dao lineage, it gave me this talent specifically. Truly, you never disappoint!’

In this broken world, one really had to cheat to survive!
