Seven Deadly Sins System

"Bang!"

The memory crystal in Chu Wuyao's hands crumbled, turning into pieces of dust that were blown by the wind.

Yet Chu Wuyao didn't have the time to pay attention to this change, as most of her focus was on digesting the Original Desire Technique that was imprinted directly on her mind.

It was only a few minutes later, when she had fully digested the contents of the Original Desire Technique that Chu Wuyao opened her eyes again.

Although she had the technique, she didn't rush to practice, but brought up her system panel first, wanting to take a look on whether it had any changes.

However, there was none.

"As expected. It's no longer possible to improve my cultivation using Sin Points.", Chu Wuyao whispered in a low voice, and her expression turned somewhat complicated.

Even though she was not caught off guard, having expected this to happen, Chu Wuyao was still left somewhat disappointed when her guesses were confirmed.

"Unlike the Qi Accumulation and the Shackles Realm, the Awakening Realm is no longer a matter of resources, but requires the cultivator to understand more Authorities, increase their understanding of them, and develop the Vision."

"It actually makes sense that the system can't allow me to break through.", she analyzed calmly, but inadvertently, her attention turned to the system's new function, the so-called Enlightenment.

She was supposed to check this new function before, but just before she could do so, Destiny teleported her away, giving her no time to react.

Then, she had to come to the Core Area and confirm her status as a true disciple.

This meant that until now, she had no time to make use of this new function.

Fortunately, now everything was finished and Chu Wuyao had the free time to check on it.

"Let's hope that it's actually useful."

As Chu Wuyao was thinking, her mind moved and she focused on the [Enlightenment] column at the very bottom of the system panel.

Immediately, some information poured into her mind, and by the time she was finished digesting it, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although she knew that she had to spend 5000 Sin Points in order to activate the Enlightenment function for a single day, she didn't hesitate at all, wanting to give it a try.

Immediately, the Sin Points in her system panel decreased, while her consciousness was pulled away and guided to another space.

This space was dark, seemingly endless and with with no source of light, being quite similar to her own soul space.

However, as Chu Wuyao raised her head, she saw that unlike her soul space, there were countless rivers densely packed in the sky right right above her.

These rivers extended infinitely in both directions and apart from the differences in their thickness, there were also major differences in their appearance.

A river was green and surrounded by strange mist, another river was densely filled with tiny specks of dust, while another river was covered in tentacles.

The rivers in the sky had all kinds of appearances and every single one of them was unique.

Subconsciously, Chu Wuyao picked one of these rivers at random and stared at it.

This river was one of the thinnest ones and looked relatively normal as if it was an ordinary river.

But the moment her eyes fell on this river, many insights immediately popped up in her mind, all related to the concept of water.

In the blink of an eye, many ways to control water and change its form appeared in Chu Wuyao's mind, making her feel as if she had studied the Water Authority for many years.

She couldn't help but feel addicted to this feeling, but having been mentally prepared about this beforehand, she steeled her resolve and turned her head to the side, breaking away from the influence of the river.

Thinking of the fact that she had almost lost herself, Chu Wuyao couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"As expected of a function of the system. Understanding Authorities in this place is many times easier than it is in the outside world.", she thought, and recalled the information she knew about this space.

According to the system, this place was called the Enlightenment Space and its function was surprisingly simple.

It allowed her to come into contact with the many rivers above her head.

In reality, each of these rivers was actually an Authority, and these rivers could be considered to be their truest, most naked, and most easy-to-understand form.

The benefits of coming to coming into contact with them didn't need an explanation.

In the Enlightenment Space, even ordinary people would have the chance to quickly grasp Authorities, let alone a talented person like Chu Wuyao, whose understanding was already extremely high.

"Since I have to consume Sin Points to get here, I have to make the best use of this time."

Chu Wuyao glanced at the cluster of rivers in the sky and searched through them, always doing her best to not stare at them for too long, thus preventing herself from falling into enlightenment.

While searching, Chu Wuyao noticed that there were some rivers to which she felt an inexplicable attraction.

A river that dripped with red liquid, a river that shone with dazzling golden light, a river that seemed to be made out of scorching flames...

Chu Wuyao glanced at these rivers from the corner of her eye and understood that these rivers should be Authorities that she had already understood.

Although she was a little curious and wished that she could take a look at them, she knew that she couldn't waste her time like this.

With this in mind, her search continued.

Time quickly went by in the Enlightenment Space.

Just when Chu Wuyao wondered whether she had missed what she was looking for and had begun doubting herself, a complicated black river fell in her eyes.

This river was made out of countless tiny black threads that blended together, while the river's surface constantly squirmed as if it were alive.

The moment Chu Wuyao saw it, she understood that she had finally found what she had been looking for all this time.

"The Cause and Effect Authority...", she whispered, and stared intently at the black river, as if she was afraid that it would run away while she was not looking.

Immediately, many insights poured into her mind, giving her a new understanding of this Authority.

Her understanding of the Cause and Effect Authority slowly improved, and she became more and more familiar with it.

****

When Chu Wuyao went into seclusion, planning to use the Enlightenment Space to improve her understanding of the Cause and Effect Authority, in the outside world, Yue Zhilan returned to the Heartless Peak and was followed by a few dozen cultivators.

Most of these people were at the Qi Accumulation Realm and had just embarked on cultivation, while there were only three people with some amount of strength.

These three people walked right behind Yue Zhilan, lagging only half a step behind her.

One of these three people was a beautiful young woman with short brown hair and eyes, who wore a short white dress, another one was a feminine young man who looked chic, elegant, and very approachable, and finally, an ordinary-looking young man who stared at everything around him with curiosity.

If Chu Wuyao were here, she would immediately recognize that she was very familiar with these people.

The woman, Ruan Yi, didn't need any introduction, while the other two people also had some intersection with her in the past.

The elegant young man was the outer disciple that she had met during the sect competition, who then went on to accompany during the inheritance of the Mist Dragon, while the ordinary-looking man was the lucky person who had been recognized by the fragment of the Dao Weapon.

In fact, by now, Chu Wuyao had almost forgotten about these two people.

Even the agreement she had made with the Dao Weapon fragment had been completely forgotten.

It was not until now, when she established the Heartless Peak and needed to "employ" people that she finally remembered their existence and urged Yue Zhilan to call them over.

"Okay, senior sister Chu is currently in seclusion and doesn't have the time to meet you. You can choose one of the buildings to live in for the time being. I'll call you over later.", Yue Zhilan glanced at the people behind her and spoke coldly.

However, none of these people dared to argue.

Although Yue Zhilan had only briefly introduced them to the Heartless Peak, these disciples had heard about the Core Area before and understood that becoming a member of the so-called Heartless Peak was an opportunity.

As long as they grasped this opportunity, there would be no issue breaking through the Shackles Realm and there would be a slight chance of breaking through the Awakening Realm.

Let alone arguing with Yue Zhilan over her current attitude, even if she were to beat them to death, these disciples wouldn't dare to argue back!

This was true even for Yuan Zhuo and Fang Yu.

The only person who managed to remain calm was Ruan Yi, but her clenched fists made it obvious that she was not as calm as she appeared to be.

"Sister Chu finally returned!", Ruan Yi couldn't help but think, and her eyes glowed with excitement.

But when she recalled Yue Zhilan's words and learned that she could not meet her for the time being, she became a little disappointed.

Just when she was about to follow the other disciples and choose a house, though, Yue Zhilan stepped forward to stop her.

"Senior sister Chu has called you over.", Yue Zhilan spoke calmly and motioned her to follow her, before turning around to lead the way.

However, what Ruan Yi didn't notice was that a flash of murderous intent flashed in Yue Zhilan's eyes, accompanied by some well-hidden jealousy.
