Seven Deadly Sins System

The Inner Area of the Original Desire Sect had turned empty and only a figure remained, sitting in the sky silently.

Above this figure's head, many gray clouds had gathered and lightning kept pouring down, before turning into wisps of colorful light and rushing towards that figure.

The lightning continued falling, and slowly, the aura of the figure became more and more powerful and more ethereal.

It was unknown how much time had passed, when suddenly, a clicking noise came from the body of the figure, and their aura spread, causing the area around them to tremble.

As Chu Wuyao sensed the clouds above her disperse, she finally opened her eyes.

An eye-shaped rune flashed in her gray pupils for a brief second, but this rune quickly disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

"Awakening Realm...", Chu Wuyao's voice spread throughout the Inner Area, but the next moment, her figure disappeared.

When she returned to the underground room, Chu Wuyao ignored the remains of the formation and hurriedly sat on the floor, wanting to take a look at the changes that her breakthrough brought.

With a move of her mind, she checked her condition and discovered that the strength of her body had increased, while the quality of her Mana had changed once again, this time having undergone a massive transformation.

The change in the quality of her Mana didn't seem to have as many immediate benefits as the increase in her physical strength, but Chu Wuyao knew that this was simply not true.

With the enhancement of the quality of her Mana, any skill that Chu Wuyao cast would not only cost less Mana, but its power would also increase.

This was exactly the reason why there would be differences in the power of a skill, even if two cultivators were to cast the same exact skill, with the same proficiency and the same cultivation.

"But compared to changes in me, the benefits that the Six Paths Vision received are many times more important.", Chu Wuyao thought, but she was surprised.

After all, just like the name of the realm would imply, the Awakening Realm was all about awakening the Vision and slowly improving its quality.

At the Awakening Realm, most cultivators no longer fought using their bodies but would instead control their Visions to fight.

Hence, the main focus of cultivators at the Awakening Realm was to improve the strength of their Vision.

Sitting cross-legged, Chu Wuyao controlled her Vision, and the next moment, the Six Paths Vision appeared beside her.

Compared to before, the Six Paths Vision didn't have many changes in its aura and seemed almost the same as before, but Chu Wuyao could feel that her connection with it had deepened countless times.

If before, the Six Paths Vision was a weapon that she could control to fight, then now, the Six Paths Vision was akin to her clone.

No. Her connection with the Six Paths Vision was even deeper than the connection she had with her God and Devil Clones.

"The Awakening Realm is divided into the Vision Stage, the Aspect Stage, and the Creation Stage."

"At the Vision Stage, the cultivator has to awaken their Vision and slowly deepen their connection with it."

"When the connection with the Vision becomes deep enough, the cultivator will naturally break through the Aspect Stage."

When Chu Wuyao recalled the information she knew about the Awakening Realm, she instantly understood that her previous guesses had indeed been correct and her efforts hadn't been wasted.

Just like she expected, the moment she broke through the Awakening Realm, she directly skipped the Vision Stage and broke through the Aspect Stage.

Even, her cultivation was quite advanced among Aspect Stage cultivators, as she had already understood a few aspects of her Vision.

"At the Aspect Stage, a cultivator has to continuously supplement their Vision, either by understanding more Authorities or by consuming rare treasures."

"When the cultivator has fully supplemented their Vision, they will naturally break through the Creation Stage."

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao subconsciously stared at the black holes that revolved behind the Six Paths Vision head, or to be more accurate, at the three runes that were embedded in them.

One of these runes alternated between golden and red and exuded an evil, yet holy aura, while another one was black and twisted strangely, seemingly created out of countless tiny threads.

The final rune was the rune with the most unique appearance, as it was in the shape of a human eye and was surrounded by many colorful lightnings, exuding a ruthless, majestic aura, like an indifferent god facing a bunch of ants.

"Good and Evil, Cause and Effect, and Heavenly Punishment...", Chu Wuyao whispered the names of each Authority she had understood, and as she did, she became more and more aware of the extraordinary nature of her Vision.

When she broke through the Awakening Realm, some information poured into her mind out of nowhere, letting her know of some common sense regarding the Awakening Realm.

"Just like Authorities, Visions are also divided into different grades, mostly based on the different Authorities that the Visions are composed of."

"For example, if a cultivator broke through the Awakening Realm having only understood the Fire Authority, then unless they are extremely fortunate to supplement their Vision with many High-Grade and Supreme-Grade Authorities, then their Vision will always remain a Low-Grade Vision."

"It's exactly because of this that the Authorities that a cultivator has understood during the Shackles Realm are particularly important."

The Grade of a Vision not only determined the combat power of a cultivator but was also closely related to their future.

According to the information that Chu Wuyao received, only cultivators who had awakened at least Middle-Grade Visions could break through the Supernatural Realm.

Furthermore, High-Grade Visions allowed cultivators to break through the Transcending Tribulation Realm, while Supreme-Grade Visions could support cultivators to become Immortals!

It could be said that from the moment that a cultivator awakened their Vision, their fate had already been sealed!

It was no wonder that quasi-core disciples like Mu Huanzhi didn't rush to break through and chose to stay at the Shackles Realm.

Clearly, they already knew about this and wished to awaken the strongest Vision possible, just so that they could go further in the future.

In fact, this was fairly common and many genius disciples of major forces would do so.

It was only casual cultivators and those common disciples, who either didn't know this or their talents were not strong enough, who would rush to break through.

Of course, although Chu Wuyao seemed to have made the same mistake as those casual cultivators, her situation was very different.

"So far, the aspects of my Vision are the Good and Evil Authority, the Cause and Effect Authority, and the Heavenly Punishment Authority."

"These Authorities are Supreme-Grade and the other aspects of my Vision should also be the same...", Chu Wuyao thought and remembered that when she first awakened her Vision, the system panel couldn't identify its grade.

Now, she understood that the Six Paths Vision surpassed the limits of the cultivation power system and its true grade was above the ratings of the Cultivation World.

Thinking of the system, Chu Wuyao instinctively opened it.

[Name: Chu Wuyao]1

[Realm: Awakening Realm, Aspect Stage]

[Authorities: Good and Evil(100%), Cause and Effect(45%), Heavenly Punishment(100%)]

[Authority Abilities: Daughter of Heaven, ...]

[Vision: Six Paths(Good and Evil, Cause and Effect, Heavenly Punishment, ...)]

[Clones: Devil(Lower Devil), God(Fake Lower God)]

[Enlightenment]

[Sin Points: 265500]

[Daughter of Heaven: Your affinity with the Way of Heaven has been significantly enhanced.]

Staring at the new Ability she had gained from understanding the Heavenly Punishment Authority, Chu Wuyao remained calm, not excited at all.

By now, she had understood that the abilities she gained by understanding Authorities were not too strong, and could only be used in niches situations.

So far, the only ability that she was interested in was the Gate to the Underworld, which surprisingly involved another world, the Underworld.

However, every time Chu Wuyao had the idea of using this ability, her intuition would warn her of danger, letting her know that opening the gate to the Underworld would lead to unimaginable consequences.

This was true before, and it was true even now when she had broken through the Awakening Realm.

Chu Wuyao only took a brief look at this new ability, and her attention quickly turned to the rest of the panel.

Immediately, she discovered that a new column had appeared at the bottom of the panel, just above her Sin Points.

Slightly surprised, Chu Wuyao was about to focus her mind on the [Enlightenment] column and investigate this new function, when suddenly, the situation changed.

Out of nowhere, a high-level power appeared and rushed towards the underground room, before falling on her body.

The next moment, Chu Wuyao was surprised to find that she had lost control of her body and her vision went dark, as the world around her began spinning.

****

When Chu Wuyao recovered, she found herself standing on a large plain that was filled with lush green grass.

Apart from the grass, the entire plain was empty, with only a small building at its very center.

The building was a hatched wooden hut that looked extremely feeble as if it would break at the first sign of the wind.

Outside this wooden hut, a purple futon was lying on the ground, while a figure sat cross-legged on top of it.

The figure was surrounded by countless dazzling lights and the sunlight fell, gathering together and turning into a veil that covered its face, making it impossible to see its appearance.

Surprisingly, despite the various phenomena around the figure, it didn't exude any aura at all, looking like an ordinary mortal.

However, when Chu Wuyao's eyes landed on this figure, she felt her soul tremble.

Skipped a few things to avoid inflating the word count.
