Chapter 492: Failed Use of the Ultimate Repair Privilege
Ye Feng placed a shielding barrier in the room. He was still wary of Jin, a man of unknown origins, and preferred not to let him know any of his secrets. Especially since this involved his precious virtual treasure—the Liuluan Palace—which he could only reveal to those he trusted completely. With the Refining Realm left in Sent City, he could only use the Liuluan Palace to accelerate time.
Before Shi Tou could react, Ye Feng pulled him into the Liuluan Palace.
“Wow, boss, is this your palace? It’s so huge…” Shi Tou looked around; there seemed to be no end to the palace.
“We might need a lot of pills and divine crystals to replenish the divine essence later. Prepare first, then sit down, close your eyes, and don’t resist.”
“Oh.” After organizing his storage ring, Shi Tou obediently sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
Ye Feng injected a tube of blue Perfect Gene Solvent into Shi Tou’s arm, then placed his palm on his forehead.
“Activate the Ultimate Repair Privilege.” Ye Feng’s mental energy connected with the Virtual Realm. He used it early this time to prevent the divine essence of the Divine Realm from interfering through rules. But he forgot that within this precious virtual treasure, the power of the Divine Realm’s essence could not penetrate at all. Moreover, the Ultimate Repair Privilege itself could repair genes, evolving Shi Tou into an Ancient Demon Ape. Ye Feng used the Perfect Gene Solvent as a precaution.
“One use of the Ultimate Repair Privilege!”
“Warning: Bloodline analysis failed!”
“Warning: Bloodline analysis failed!”
“Warning: Bloodline analysis failed!”
“Use of the Ultimate Repair Privilege failed!”
The sudden message from the Virtual Realm stunned Ye Feng slightly. Shi Tou’s body continued to change under the influence of the Perfect Gene Solvent, but there were interruptions, and his expression showed extreme pain.
“Shi Tou, hold on a bit. I’ll think of another way,” Ye Feng said anxiously. “How could it fail?”
“The bloodline mutations of fierce beasts are significant. Even among Ancient Demon Apes, their genes are not entirely identical. In such cases, the Ultimate Repair Privilege cannot determine which gene will maximize the evolution of bloodline power, so it fails.” A projection from the Virtual Realm appeared suddenly.
“What should I do then?”
“Young master, use your blood to guide it,” came the voice of the Sky Ring in Ye Feng’s ears. “The old master subdued three fierce beasts by using the blood refinement method. You don’t need much—just a drop of blood is enough. After all, the power of your bloodline is stronger than that of the old master.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately pricked his finger and pressed it against the stone’s forehead. The drop of golden blood quickly seeped into the stone’s body.
The broken genes immediately reconnected, and the effect of the Perfect Gene Solvent seemed to be greatly enhanced by the stimulation from Ye Feng’s blood, accelerating its transformation process.
“Ultimate Repair Rights reactivated!”
“Bloodline deduction has reached a new level!”
“Ultimate Repair Privileges upgraded; Virtual Realm database updated; effects of individual privileges upgraded.”
“Privilege upgrade reward—One use of the Supreme Privilege!”
“Privilege upgrade reward—Two uses of the Ultimate Exchange Privilege!”
“What’s going on?” Ye Feng was slightly stunned. “Can privileges be upgraded? And there are rewards too?”
“The Virtual Realm isn’t omnipotent, though I’ve always refused to admit it,” the Virtual Realm explained itself. “So, aside from the Supreme Privilege, the effects of other privileges all have limits. Beyond those limits, they can’t be achieved. Your actions just now restarted the Repair Privileges, breaking their original limits, which is why they were upgraded. Once upgraded, in addition to receiving one reward of the Supreme Privilege, the Virtual Realm will automatically provide you with the privilege you need most at the moment. Two uses of the Exchange Privilege are enough for you to create two avatars.”
“Hehe, then thank you!” Ye Feng said without hesitation. He had been struggling to figure out which privilege to use to exchange for more Exchange Privileges in order to create avatars. Now, he got two extra uses for free.
“I’m the one who should thank you. With each upgrade of a privilege, I can recover 1% of my damage. This is a reward from the heavens,” the Virtual Realm said before its projection disappeared.
Ye Feng then turned his attention to the stone, which was still evolving.
The stone’s eyes were tightly closed, its expression gradually calming down, even with a slight smile on its lips, looking quite satisfied. It hadn’t even transformed into a giant ape, which puzzled Ye Feng a bit.
Three days later, the stone finally opened its eyes. Throughout the whole process, it hadn’t used a single pill or divine crystal to replenish its energy.
“Boss, you’re really amazing! I’ve truly evolved to the level of our ancestors’ bloodline. Moreover, my cultivation at the fifth level of laws has also risen to the middle stage of the sixth level.” Stone opened his eyes and saw Ye Feng, his face filled with excitement.
“Don’t you feel anything strange?” Ye Feng was still skeptical. Normally, the Ancient Demon Ape should emit a strong killing aura, but now, compared to before, its murderous aura seemed weaker. Its aura was now almost indistinguishable from that of a human. Additionally, its evolution process was completely different from Qingwen’s, which made Ye Feng even more puzzled.
“No…” Stone thought carefully before shaking his head. After a while, he smiled and said, “Oh, one thing—this body seems much more useful than before. Before, when I transformed into a human form, I always felt awkward, but now I don’t have that feeling anymore.”
“I see…” Ye Feng suspected that his bloodline had turned Stone into a human. He couldn’t help asking, “What about your inherited memories? Have they changed?”
“Yes, they’re now the inherited memories of the Ancient Demon Ape, different from before. There are many more advanced techniques,” Stone said after checking them.
“It’s good that nothing went wrong.” Ye Feng finally felt relieved. “I’m leaving now. You stay here and practice the new techniques in your inherited memories. There’s a thousand-fold time acceleration here. With your bloodline strengthened and your cultivation at the middle stage of the sixth level of laws, even those at the seventh level of laws might not be a match for you if you master these techniques.”
Leaving Stone in the Liuluan Hall, Ye Feng returned to his room. He didn’t lift the restriction and simply walked out.
“So fast?” Jin saw Ye Feng return to the deck.
With a thousand-fold time acceleration, three days in the Liuluan Hall equaled less than five minutes in the real world.
“It’s Stone who needs to enter seclusion, not me. I just helped him set up some restrictions and gave him some instructions.” Ye Feng was in high spirits, his lips curling slightly as he lay back comfortably on the deck.
“Has that guy reached the fourth level of laws? I heard that even those at the fifth level of laws might not be able to defeat him…” Jin tried to get some information from Ye Feng.
“Don’t worry. All you need to know is that my strength is enough to send you to the Ten Thousand Demons Peak.” Ye Feng directly refused to answer questions probing his strength.
“But even if you’re stronger than him, he probably won’t just obey you, right?” Jin still couldn’t suppress his curiosity.
“The thoughts of magical beasts are simpler than those of humans. If you treat them with sincerity, they will treat you with sincerity too.” Ye Feng turned his head away and left those words behind, refusing to speak again.
