Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 452 - 451 plus points and research
Zhou Bai's foolish chart had already lit up five stars, with four more remaining. At that moment, he looked towards the content of the sixth star.
No Thought - Pollution Limit: Increase one's overall adaptability to the distortions of Heavenly Dao, raising the pollution limit to 105.
Cultivation Method: (Directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Laziness (0/1.7 million)
"This star isn't bad at all, the increase in pollution limit not only allows me to use the Twilight Taoist Skill more effortlessly, but it also strengthens my polluted body from another aspect, since the higher the pollution, the more the damage mitigation of the polluted body."
While thinking, Zhou Bai injected his laziness value into 'No Thought - Pollution Limit'. Instantly, a severe pain spread through his body and brain. Zhou Bai grunted, instantly arching his body like a cooked shrimp.
"Why does it hurt so much?!"
At that moment, he felt as if every inch of his flesh and bones were being torn apart, his whole body was nothing but pain.
The pain nearly drowned his mind, leading him to roar out, with a slight influence of Primordial Spirit energy that directly stimulated several hidden acupoints in his body, temporarily knocking himself out.
After a long time, Zhou Bai gradually regained consciousness, feeling an itch on his nose as a large tail swept across his face back and forth, while his body felt heavy and dense, as if there was a rock blocking his chest.
Zhou Bai opened his eyes, looked and said, 'Elsa, you're going to crush me to death.'
Elsa got up, looking curiously and said, "Zhou Bai, you're awake? Christina said you knocked yourself out; why did you do that?"
Christina rolled her eyes, "Look at him, so little endurance, he couldn't even bear a bit of pain, and even had to knock himself out."
Zhou Bai checked his body, feeling no issues, replied to Christina's words, "Do you know what it means to fight wits and not strength? Just now, it almost killed me with pain, only a fool would keep enduring it."

After a body check and finding no issues, Zhou Bai again looked at the auxiliary cultivation system panel: Pollution level: 30/105
"Haha, the pollution limit really increased." Zhou Bai was very satisfied with this, and checked the remaining laziness value, which after spending 1.7 million, still had 1.3 million left.
Although he spent so much laziness value in one go, Zhou Bai was not concerned about it, even feeling a bit amused, because his business was booming. With the efforts of Yan Shan and others in expansion, more and more divine beings were coming to West Mountain City to participate in courses.
After a while, Zhou Bai put on a mask and went to the room arranged with Yan Shan and others, as there were new divine species attending the class today.
Although Yan Shan and others could pull people, they did not have Zhou Bai's persuasive power, and the total number of divine species was just a few thousand, each one being a valuable resource.
Therefore, Zhou Bai still insisted on personally teaching more than two hours every day, without slacking off because the company was growing strong.
...
Meanwhile, as Zhou Bai earnestly cultivated, inside the Sword Spirit Hall of West Mountain City.
Jian Hui, the strongest genius of the new generation of Jijian Pavilion, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with thousands of swords fluttering around him, each displaying different swordsmanship.
These are the personal swords of Jijian Pavilion monks who had sacrificed themselves on the battlefield in past history, each still imbued with countless forebears' Sword Intent. They had been recovered and worshiped in Sword Spirit Hall.
At this moment, these swords recognized Jian Hui's qualifications, allowing him to access their Sword Intent and accept the legacy of generations of Jijian Pavilion's mighty ones.
In the center of the hall, four long swords quietly stood in their pedestals, belonging to the four Supreme Elders of Jijian Pavilion since the Heavenly Dao had twisted.
Among them, three looked decayed and worn, but one still shimmered brightly, emitting a dazzling brilliance—it was the last Supreme Elder of Jijian Pavilion, the Heavenly Sword Elder.
At this moment, Heavenly Sword Elder watched Jian Hui's practice, nodding inwardly, "After the battle in West Mountain City, Jian Hui has obviously been stimulated, becoming more mature in his thinking and working harder on his cultivation."
"He has a chance to break into the sixth realm before the Daluo Heaven discourse this time."
"Unfortunately, three months is too short a time for Jian Hui to learn our 'Chaos Heavenly Punishment Sword.'"
Thinking of the news from Leiyin Temple caused Heavenly Sword Elder to feel somewhat heavy-hearted.
"Has Wanxian Island also nurtured four peerless geniuses who managed to master the Tathagata Heart Seal with the three secrets and three studies? If the other three are also of this caliber, this Daluo Heaven discourse might be tough..."
Just then, footsteps sounded, and Jian Hui abruptly opened his eyes, sending waves of Sword Qi towards the direction of the footsteps as countless swords chimed together.
Heavenly Sword Elder coldly watched the direction of the sound and saw Li Xiuzhu stepping out of the darkness in white clothing, his presence so ordinary that no Primordial Spirit fluctuations could be felt.
Heavenly Sword Elder, "Li Xiuzhu? What are you doing here?"
As Heavenly Sword Elder spoke, the entire Sword Spirit Hall seemed to tremble slightly. The ground, walls, and even the omnipresent air and light seemed to turn into Sword Qi, filling the air endlessly. Li Xiuzhu's mild inhalation caused a sharp pain in his airways, as if he had drawn Sword Qi into his body.
Jian Hui thought secretly: 'Sky Flipping Sect Leader Li Xiuzhu? He dares to storm into Sword Spirit Hall alone?'
Li Xiuzhu looked solemnly at the Elder and said, "Yan Zhen of the Plague Department conducted a ritual that sacrificed dozens of monks to create an aberrant weapon, which I seized."
Hearing this, Heavenly Sword Elder was startled, and the omnipresent Sword Qi in the air slowly began to dissipate, "What do you intend to do?"
"Humankind must control our aberrant weapons; we must have the technological prowess to manufacture them.
Otherwise, we will never have a say before the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Court," said Li Xiuzhu. "I am short-handed, and I need the support of the four great sects to help me advance the research on aberrant weapons."
Heavenly Sword Elder, "How can you prove what you say is true?"
Li Xiuzhu pulled a blood-red knife from his clothes, adorned with numerous eyes of all sizes that swiveled and looked at Sword Spirit Hall, as if alive. It was the Blood Transformation Divine Knife crafted by Yan Zhen of the Plague Department.
At the sight of the Blood Transformation Divine Knife, Heavenly Sword Elder slightly quivered, feeling the twists within himself intensify. He immediately said, "Put it away."
Li Xiuzhu grabbed, and the Blood Transformation Divine Knife instantly vanished from sight.
After stabilizing his spirit for ten minutes, Heavenly Sword Elder finally spoke, "Researching aberrant weapons involves changes in the Heavenly Dao and the void, which cannot be concealed from the Heavenly Court. Once they locate you, they will launch an unprecedented manhunt against you and attempt by every means to obstruct the research. The pressure is unimaginable."
"So what? Only by possessing aberrant weapons can we truly stand up and not be bullied," said Li Xiuzhu. "Even if it means sacrificing our generation, it's worth it, as long as we can control aberrant weapons."
