My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 658: Chapter 624: TianXuan Empowers Divine Technique

“Would you like to spend 10,000 contribution points for a divine technique deduction? The initial success rate is one percent. Each successive deduction increases the success rate, ultimately to a hundred percent.”

Li Fan stared at the notification that popped up on the Tianxuan Mirror, his face expressionless, and he chose to confirm.

For cultivators within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, as their meritorious ranks increase, they gradually unlock certain privileges.

This is reflected in every aspect of their cultivation life, such as the reduction in contribution points used when using transmission arrays and the increased number of times they can utilize the Tianxuan Mirror to retrieve items at market value prices, and so on.

However, some important privileges only appear upon reaching specific levels.

For example, Privilege Level Five: Each year, a free super-distance transmission can be requested.

Privilege Level Ten: When searching for information in the Tianxuan Mirror, you can preview those that would normally require a higher cultivation level to view.

Privilege Level Fifteen: Once every ten years, you can randomly contact a cultivator who has a cultivation level higher than yours through the Tianxuan Mirror. However, there are no forced responsibilities or obligations between the two parties. Whether or not this relationship can be maintained depends solely on individual efforts.

Privilege Level Twenty: You can deduce divine techniques and battle techniques in the Tianxuan Mirror using contribution points during discussions.

However, this deduction process is quite deceptive.

Not to mention the enormous consumption of contribution points, even the success is not guaranteed.

It has been criticized by many cultivators within the system as a tool specifically designed to recover contribution points.

After Li Fan confirmed his choice, a tiny figure that mirrored his current appearance instantly became active!

This figure, with a serious expression on his face, stared straight ahead into the void. His left hand took the form of a palm, and his right hand gripped a sword.

A faint light burst open not far away from the tiny person, the space twisting and blurring for a moment.

As expected, the Tianxuan Mirror’s prompt arrived: “The deduction failed this time. Would you like to spend 15,000 contribution points to continue?”

“If you continue, you will have a two percent chance of success.”

“If you forfeit, the deduction data will be wiped clean, and you will have to start over next time.”

“You can also choose to fill in the details of the divine technique data to increase the success rate.”

Li Fan immediately chose to continue.

The next moment, the tiny figure moved again.

This time, the stride of Mist Blade and the Sky Flipping Palm display seemed more vivid than before.

However, the success rate was so low that in no time, a failure notification was received again.

For the third deduction, the required contribution points increased to 20,000, while the success rate only increased to three percent.

Li Fan’s expression remained unchanged, and he chose to continue with the deduction.

The third attempt was also a failure.

Then came the fourth and fifth attempts…

As the tiny figure of Li Fan used the Mist Blade and the Sky Flipping Palm more and more proficiently, conveying the essence of the divine technique, Li Fan began to have a slight understanding of what exactly this Tianxuan Mirror’s divine technique deduction was about.

In simple terms, it creates a possible divine technique target for the Tianxuan Mirror and affixes the effects and power of the divine technique.

The Tianxuan Mirror then deduces the various conditions needed to acquire this divine technique based on the result. And it summarizes these into experiences and transmits them to the cultivator.

This can be likened to the ancient times in the Immortal Cultivation World when powerful beings observed other cultivators’ fights. With just one glance, they could learn and reproduce the divine techniques executed by others.

This is all about understanding by analogy and reaching the same goal by different means.

The more deductions made, the more contribution points are consumed.

When the price for one deduction increased to 100,000, the success rate only barely reached 18%.

“This deduction method is really not affordable for ordinary people.”

“The Tianxuan Mirror’s deduction ability itself definitely won’t be so awful. It is just deliberately set this way to maliciously consume contribution points.”

“And up to this point, after having invested so much and the sunk cost being so high, those who are willing to give up are certainly very few. It’s as if they are stuck in the mud, unable to get out.” Li Fan understood in his heart.

After thinking about it, he uploaded his own insights about the Mist Blade and Sky Flipping Palm divine techniques to supplement the data.

In an instant, the success rate skyrocketed from 18% to 78%, but the price for the deduction didn’t change.

“It seems that deductions backed by theory are far stronger than those concocted out of thin air.”

Li Fan quietly thought to himself as he tried another deduction.

In an instant, a seven-color divine light descended from the sky, landing on Li Fan’s tiny figure.

The tiny figure, as if enlightened about something, had an expression of achieving supreme knowledge, willing to die in the evening on its face.

He let out a long loud yell, striking forward with one palm, and the void in front of him twisted in an instant, as if the sky and the earth were spinning. Additionally, multiple blue Sword Lights flashed by, cutting through the space-time.

For Li Fan himself, a golden light appeared in front of his eyes while a stimulating music rang in his ears.

“Congratulations! You have successfully deduced the divine technique: [Broken Sky Heart Sword]”

“Divine Technique Description: Not bound by forms and moves, a fist, a palm, a knife, a sword. All moving at will, possessing the power to break through the sky.”

“Would you like to spend 500,000 contribution points to implant the divine technique?”

“You can also choose to continue deducing [Broken Sky Heart Sword], strive to be better, and take it to the next level. Know that the path is limitless.”

“The first upgrade deduction enjoys a 50% discount and only costs 50,000 contribution points. The success rate is 8%.”

As the Tianxuan Mirror’s series of prompts sounded, Li Fan’s facial expression changed, barely able to keep his composure.

He originally thought that his contribution points were enough for a lifetime and there was no way he could use all of them.

Looking at it now…

He still can’t beat you, Tianxuan Mirror!

With an attitude of giving it a try, Li Fan conducted an upgrade deduction.

The first time was discounted, costing 50,000 contribution points, with an 8% success rate, failed.

The second time saw an explosive increase in costs to 150,000 contribution points. Fortunately, the success rate also increased to 10%. It was still a failure.

…

Even for Li Fan’s immense amount of contribution points, which were gained like a windfall, he could not help but wince as he watched them constantly fluctuate and disappear.

In this technique deduction, contribution points seemed to have lost their original value. They simply turned into fuel for the advancement of deduction.

If the success rate had been steadily growing every time, Li Fan estimated that, with some determination, he could have produced an upgraded divine technique.

However, the pattern of the Tianxuan Mirror was slightly beyond Li Fan’s expectations.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When the success rate reached fifty percent and a failure followed again, Li Fan found that the success rate remained stagnant!

Instead, what appeared in front of Li Fan was another progress bar.

“Directed Specialized Deduction.”

“After the success rate of the divine technique upgrade deduction fails to increase, it can add to the progress of the directed deduction. Once the progress is full, the direction of the deduction for the divine technique promotion can be specified.”

“For example, lethality, degree of deceit, priority, and so on.”

…

The success rate was not growing steadily, but the consumption of contribution points needed for each deduction was indeed steadily increasing.

In this way, the amount of contribution points required to deduce the upgraded version of [Broken Sky Heart Sword] would be astronomical.
