Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 438 - 437 Pollution

Seeing Zhou Bai's expression, Christina immediately became curious, "What's up? What's up? Zhou Bai, have you thought up some new impressive trick to show off and slap faces?"

Zhou Bai, "Hmph, you'll know later, this face..." He touched his own face and said, "will become my secret weapon to overcome enemies."

Zhou Bai couldn't help but fantasize about his future battles: 'As long as I'm wearing this mask, everyone will think I'm handsome.'

He imagined himself shouting "I'm handsome" in front of his enemies, and one by one they turned into idiots and were defeated by him, which made him unable to suppress a confident smile.

"Sometimes, being handsome can also be a weapon."

Next, Zhou Bai stopped discussing this matter with Christina and focused on the cultivation system interface, deciding how to continue his cultivation.

"A strand of green luck can strengthen an existing star point, 6.2 million laziness points, it's still best to use it to enhance the next star point of Ignorance."

"Let's cultivate the star point of Ignorance first and then digest the green luck."

Thinking this, Zhou Bai looked at his next star point, which was the second star point of Ignorance.

Ignorance - Pollution Resistance: Enhances mental resistance, improves immunity to spiritual contamination, and pierces through one's own pollution level.

Cultivation method: (Directly skipped over by Zhou Bai)

Laziness (0/1.3 million)

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, 1.3 million laziness points were added in an instant, and Zhou Bai immediately felt as if a cool breath swept through his body, inside and out, as if he could hear countless screams and moans, as though numerous filthy things were being cleansed away.

Zhou Bai felt his mind, physical body, and Primordial Spirit seem to become lighter and more relaxed all at once.

'Even with the runic vaccine, and the protective great formation covering the entire West Mountain City, it's impossible to completely defend against the omnipresent polluted spiritual machine in the air.'

'With the accumulations of daily cultivation, living, and battling, the flesh and Primordial Spirit would inevitably be polluted little by little.'

'Even in my case, despite having laziness points for treatment, it's not omnipotent; some contamination has already altered the nature of my body, and it can't be healed.'

'But now, with the addition of Ignorance - Pollution Resistance, it's truly resistant to pollution, thoroughly expelling the pollution and changes in the body.'

Zhou Bai looked at the cultivation system interface and saw a new indicator appearing under Daoization degree.

Daoization degree: 40.0%

Pollution degree: 40/100

Primordial Spirit value: 6012

Spiritual Chart: Tianhe Star Explosion

Laziness: 4.9 million

"This pollution degree should be the level of contamination of the body, Primordial Spirit, and mind. At 100 points, I guess one would truly go mad and become deformed."

"But why do I have 40 points now?"

As Zhou Bai focused on this pollution degree, he immediately felt what the components of these 40 points of pollution were.

"The contamination of Tianhe Star Explosion alone accounts for at least 30 points, the rest is the pollution resulting from a Daoization degree of 40% and the high synchronization rate with the Heavenly Dao."

A glint of realization flashed in Zhou Bai's eyes: "So that's it, the Twilight Taoist Skill claims to be a direct path to the Heavenly Dao and hasn't been repaired, so even without using it, there is still a certain degree of contamination.

Only when one's own resistance becomes stronger and one's cultivation level increases, can the contamination from the Tianhe Star Explosion be reduced. This is also why Elder Jiaojiao advised me to learn the second Twilight Taoist Skill at the fourth realm."

Zhou Bai was very satisfied with the pollution degree indicator on his body. With this indicator, he could understand his condition at any time, which would also provide guidance when he learned the Five Supreme Taoist Skills of the Three Pure Dao Sect later.

After experiencing the effects of 'Ignorance - Pollution Resistance,' he looked towards the next star point.

Ignorance - Honesty: Enhanced resistance to the Heavenly Dao's distortion, reduced cultivation burden, lowered pollution burden.

Cultivation Method: (Directly skipped by Zhou Bai)

Laziness (0/1.4 million)

Zhou Bai just smashed another 1.4 million down and immediately felt his thoughts become relaxed, more lively, and agile. At the same time, the original 40/100 pollution level began to decline, turning into 30/100 after one minute.

"The Tianhe Star Explosion technique and a 40% Dao transformation burden on me have been reduced. This ignorant diagram really has miraculous effects on Heavenly Dao distortions and spiritual mechanisms of pollution."

Zhou Bai looked at the pollution level, feeling the subtle changes in his body, his face full of surprise.

This meant that at a similar level of cultivation, he could practice more Twilight Taoist Skills than others, use more Twilight Taoist Skills, be less affected by Heavenly Dao's distortions, and cultivate to a higher realm without being deformed. In the future, even if he uses Laziness treatment for distortions, the amount of Laziness required would be less.

"Next star point."

Ignorance - Death Row: Upon reaching a pollution level of 100 and entering a deformed state, one can temporarily maintain some rationality for a certain period.

Cultivation Method: (Directly skipped by Zhou Bai)

Laziness (0/1.5 million)

Another 1.5 million Laziness was spent in an instant, and Zhou Bai felt his head clear up slightly, but that sensation quickly vanished.

He looked at the introduction of this star point and thought to himself, "This must be a safety net. If I accidentally enter a deformed state, it allows me to remain lucid for a short time to think of a way to save myself."

In one breath, he added three star points, significantly boosting his resistance to Heavenly Dao distortions and deformations, but his Laziness value had also dropped to 2.5 million.

"2.5 million is only enough to add one more star point, but the 5th star point of every divine diagram generally represents a transformation..."

Thinking this, Zhou Bai was already looking at the ignorant diagram's 5th star point, couldn't help sighing, "Indeed, it's a transformation."

No Thought - Corrupted Body: The pollution from the flow of Heavenly Dao isn't just a disaster, it also represents power. While bringing danger, you try to use the Heavenly Dao distortion to transform your body into a polluted shell. Each point of pollution level will reduce a small amount of damage, up to half the damage being mitigated.

Cultivation Method: (Directly skipped by Zhou Bai)

Laziness (0/1.6 million)

Seeing this, Zhou Bai's eyes immediately lit up, and without thinking, he added 1.6 million Laziness, and instantly a current of energy was generated from his mind, spreading from the location of his mind to every corner of his body, eventually wrapping around his body and slowly dissipating.

As this current of energy dissipated, Zhou Bai felt something awaken within him, the pollution from the Heavenly Dao. Too much of this pollution would lead to his deformation and madness, but now it formed a layer of protection for his body and Primordial Spirit.

Zhou Bai silently sensed the condition of his body: "My current pollution level is 30/100, which roughly translates to a 15% damage reduction for me. To put it another way, each point of pollution level reduces my damage by 0.5%."

The 1.6 million Laziness were being spent just like that, and Zhou Bai's Laziness value dropped to 900,000.

"Although a lot of Laziness value was used up, it was worth it. The enhancements from the previous three star points boosted my resistance to Heavenly Dao distortions, essentially widening the path I could take in the future."

"And this 5th star point represents a transformation, greatly enhancing my survival ability, which, when combined with the Taiyin Roulette, makes me incredibly tough."

"And this is even without raising my pollution level. If I learn more Twilight Taoist Skills and continue to increase my pollution level..."

After adding the star points, Zhou Bai felt completely satisfied and began to devour the green fortune to enhance the potential of his Primordial Spirit, while preparing to enhance an existing star point.

Six hours later, the green fortune in his sea of consciousness was completely devoured, and Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit potential grew once again, reaching over 6100.

And the green fortune turned into a green light, falling into Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, arriving at the Taiyin Roulette, and rushing towards one of the star points.

As for which star point to enhance, Zhou Bai had already made up his mind.

"It's decided, it will be you!"
