“What the?!”
After a brief moment of daze, Xu Yuan's gaze couldn't help but fall upon the panel that suddenly appeared before him.
【Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Modifier - Special Edition】
He was all too familiar with that interface.
“Wind Spirit Ancestor!”
Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, also known as Wind Spirit Ancestor, the game modifier.
It was the guiding light for countless monkeys in their time of need.
Before Xu Yuan transmigrated, he had once been unable to defeat the True Monarch Erlang Shen, even after collecting the Great Sage set.
Therefore, he sought the assistance of Wind Spirit Ancestor, and it was for this reason that he transmigrated inexplicably.
And he had not expected...
That the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow modifier would actually follow him to this world!
“Am I not invincible?!”
As a result, the smile on Xu Yuan's lips was almost uncontrollable.
His gaze excitedly swept across the panel.
And then, as expected, he saw
【1. Transformation - Enhanced Transformation Effects, Special Transformation, Unlimited Transformation Time】
【2. Anomaly - Remove and Prevent all Abnormal States】
【3. Treasure - Unlock Treasures, Enhance Treasure Effects】
【4. Spell - Unlock Spells, Enhance Spell Effects】
【5. Combat - Unlimited Qi, Mana, Stamina, Obtain Enhanced Martial Skills】
【6. Defense - Immune to Most Damage】
【7. Attributes - 10,000-fold Attribute Enhancement】
【8. Invincible Mode - Ignore Damage Judgment/One-Hit Kill】
【9. Story Editor Mode - Modify Everything in this World】
...
Apart from these nine main options.
Further down, there were additional functions like 【Identify Item】【Special Resources】【Set Item Quantity】【Edit Critical Rate】【Edit Critical Damage】.
But...
“...Something's a bit off?”
Xu Yuan noticed with sharp perception.
His cheat, in some aspects, was significantly different from the ‘Wind Spirit Moon Shadow’ he knew.
Not only did the various effects have changes, but it even had a new ‘Story Editor Mode’.
“Is this the so-called Special Edition?”
Xu Yuan was naturally excited.
But then, he realized a problem.
That is, among those nine main options.
Except for the first option 'Transformation', and 'Identify Item' below,
All other options were grayed out.
Xu Yuan attempted to control the panel with his mind, and ultimately discovered that these grayed-out parts all displayed ‘Insufficient Spiritual Essence, Not Yet Unlocked’.
“Need enough Spiritual Essence to unlock these extra functions?”
Xu Yuan understood this point.
His cheat, upon following him to this world, had obviously undergone certain anomalous changes.
It required true Spiritual Essence to unlock!
Having stayed at the Huang Hua Temple for five years, Xu Yuan naturally knew what Spiritual Essence was.
Spiritual Essence is the essence of all things in heaven and earth.
Cultivators refine Spiritual Essence into Mana.
Demons cultivate Spiritual Essence to refine their demonic bodies.
Celestials and Buddhas cultivate Spiritual Essence to achieve the Dao.
Spiritual Essence is the foundation of all cultivation, and the most precious thing in this world.
It exists in heaven and earth, in every aspect.
All things in heaven and earth have Spiritual Essence, the difference lies only in how much.
Most of the time, the stronger the cultivator and the deeper their Mana,
The more Spiritual Essence they carry.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, the Great Sage, who was already killed by Heaven and the various Demon Kings, was born of destiny.
He possessed a boundless amount of Spiritual Essence since birth.
Therefore, his combat power was earth-shattering, enough to challenge Heaven.
“So that's it...The progress bar of my cheat for the past five years, it's likely not loading at all.”
“It's probably waiting for me to accumulate enough Spiritual Essence!”
Xu Yuan also understood this point.
He had always thought that the progress bar represented the loading time of the system.
But now, upon careful consideration, it was obviously not so.
The loading of his modifier, it was likely symbolic of the amount of Spiritual Essence he had accumulated in the past five years of cultivation!
Over the past five years, the Spiritual Essence he accumulated was sufficient to unlock the 'Transformation' aspect of his cheat.
So the system automatically activated.
At this moment, Xu Yuan was both annoyed and speechless.
The good news was, he did have a cheat, and a very perverted one at that.
The bad news was, his cheat needed to be unlocked slowly, and he currently only had one function unlocked - Transformation.
“Wind Spirit Master, what good is just Transformation… Give me some real skills!”
Xu Yuan couldn't help but lament.
However, he was also very hypocritical as he clicked on the ‘Transformation’ section of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.
【Tiger】【Wolf】【Stone】【Octopus】【Rat】【Horse】【Monkey】【Dragon】【Insect】.
These options appeared in the system list.
And Xu Yuan was well aware.
Each of these transformations came from a type of demon in the game.
But...
“These transformations… Not strong enough!”
Xu Yuan was a bit melancholy.
After five years in this world, he had also long since become familiar with the Black Myth world's cultivation system.
Whether it was demons or cultivators.
Initially, they were ‘Qi Refinement’, then they would cultivate from the mundane to ‘Transcendence’, and then from Transcendence to ‘True Essence’.
Ultimately, they would return to their origins and become flawless, achieving ‘Immortal Dao’.
These four realms of ‘Qi Refinement’, ‘Transcendence’, ‘True Essence’, and ‘Immortal Dao’.
Correspond to the four tiers of ‘Minor Demon’, ‘Elite’, ‘Boss’, and ‘Demon King’ among demons.
Then there were those who, like the Hundred-Eyed Demon King and the Yellow Wind Great Sage, obtained one of the Six Roots of Monkey King.
And thus, they were ‘Great Sage’ level demons who had nearly transcended the Demon King tier.
As for this level and above.
Xu Yuan knew very little.
After all, his own cultivation in the past five years had been quite lazy, so his cultivation was still at the Qi Refinement stage.
He had a hard time dealing with a Minor Demon.
He only vaguely heard it from his teaching master.
Great Sage level demons.
In their cultivation, they seem to be called the Taiyi Realm.
And according to Xu Yuan’s knowledge.
The demons in his current system’s ‘Transformation’ options, were basically all Boss-level demons.
Compared to himself, they were obviously much stronger.
But looking at the entire Three Realms, they were not so outstanding.
“Moreover, the strongest transformation, ‘Azure Void Transformation’, why isn't it there… Is it because I didn't defeat Erlang Shen?”
And what made Xu Yuan the most regretful, was that there was originally one crucial transformation.
That was the ‘Azure Void Transformation’, where he could transform into the Dharma-Heaven-Earth-Monkey.
But unfortunately, this transformation could only be obtained by defeating Erlang Shen in the game.
As previously mentioned.
Before transmigrating, Xu Yuan was unable to defeat the three-eyed one.
Therefore, the system’s transformations did not seem to include Azure Void Transformation.
But just when Xu Yuan was feeling regretful, he suddenly noticed.
Next to each transformation option, there was clearly a small ‘Enhanceable’ tag.
And besides that, at the bottom of the Transformation options.
There was another line of small text...
【Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Special Edition Modifier, can provide you with Special Transformations】
【Unlocked transformations can be enhanced through special items】
【In addition, this modifier will provide you with a Special Transformation - Data Reading, Loading...】
As the small text changed.
Xu Yuan realized that the line of small text gradually transformed into a new transformation character.
【Heaven】
“Heaven?”
Seeing this transformation character, Xu Yuan was somewhat confused.
He could confirm.
There was absolutely no such transformation in the original game.
“What the heck?”
Thus, Xu Yuan almost subconsciously selected the unknown transformation.
And then...
“Buzz!”
Xu Yuan felt.
An unprecedented, incomprehensible vast power surged from within his body in an instant.
His form began to change.
Hair began to grow from all over his body.
Fangs and claws sprouted from his limbs and mouth.
However, Xu Yuan inexplicably did not feel panicked.
On the contrary.
He only felt that he had a strange familiarity and even affection for this body’s changes.
And in just a moment.
Through the bronze mirror that he used for his daily studies in the room.
Xu Yuan saw his current appearance.
He had already transformed into a monkey.
But it was not an ordinary monkey.
Golden crown on his head, shining brightly, two feathers swaying in the wind — that was the ‘Phoenix Wing Golden Crown’.
Golden armor on his body, shining brightly, lion, tiger, and chimera dotted with autumn frost — that was the ‘Chain-Mail Golden Armor’.
Double boots with the aura of ascension, traversing the Three Realms at will — that was the ‘Lotus Thread Cloud Boots’.
Arm armor, shining brightly like jade, golden edge with a red rope depicting a true dragon — that was the ‘Jade-Embroidered Flying Dragon Bracers’.
Besides that.
In his hand, he held a divine treasure iron staff with dragon rings at both ends and the stick dyed with immortal light.
On the iron staff, there were five ancient characters — ‘Ruyi Golden Cudgel’!
“Great Sage!?”
This appearance that was engraved in his soul, naturally made Xu Yuan instantly shout these two words.
“No... not the Great Sage...”
But the next moment, he realized the true situation.
“This is my game character, the one I control… the ‘Chosen One’!?”
In other words — this was not the Great Sage, but his main character!
