The six basic special effects are: enhanced recovery for increased healing, enhanced comprehension for greater insight, enhanced luck for better fortune, talent amplification for boosting all talents, spatial expansion for opening up personal space, and appraisal for identifying all things. The four newly added special abilities are rather unimaginable: advancement, which upgrades equipment or pills by one tier; divine blessing, which forces success in pill refining or equipment crafting involving chance; resurrection, which can bring the dead back to life; and sanctification, which temporarily raises cultivation by one tier.

Among them, recovery enhancement, comprehension, and luck are all passive abilities, while advancement, divine blessing, resurrection, appraisal, and sanctification are active abilities. The cooldown periods for each vary depending on their level.

At present, the blank space where Brian Carter is located is the personal space left behind by Edward Clark.

With a twentieth-tier chaos level, Edward Clark chose recovery enhancement, comprehension enhancement, Golden Roc bloodline talent, swordsmanship talent, personal space, advancement, appraisal, and resurrection.

Among the passive abilities: eighth-tier comprehension, third-tier recovery, second-tier Golden Roc bloodline, first-tier swordsmanship talent, first-tier personal space. Among the active abilities: second-tier advancement, second-tier appraisal, first-tier resurrection.

Brian Carter examined them carefully. The cooldown for first-tier resurrection is a hundred years—one person revived per century, which is rather useless. Second-tier advancement has a cooldown of one year and can upgrade equipment below tier two by one tier. As for appraisal, its cooldown is only twenty-four hours, showing that different skills have different cooldowns.

"Edward Clark was able to achieve Shattering the Void precisely because of the eighth-tier comprehension growth from the passive effect of the Chaos Shrine."

Brian Carter watched for a while. He had not yet inherited these abilities—he could see them but not use them, so he could not experience their effects. He decided not to waste any more time.

"Inherit!"

"Inheriting will reduce the chaos tier by half. Do you wish to continue?"

"Half... Inherit."

"Please select the items to retain."

Brian Carter glanced over the many privileges...

He could inherit a tenth-tier chaos level.

Retain one tier of recovery enhancement, retain personal space...

Comprehension, retain four tiers. The next four options...

Brian Carter was silent for a moment.

The strong become stronger.

His talent lay in swordsmanship, so...

Swordsmanship talent, two tiers.

As for the last two options...

Brian Carter chose sanctification and appraisal.

Appraisal allows one to know oneself and the enemy.

Sanctification can raise cultivation by one tier at a critical moment, useful in life-and-death battles.

"Buzz buzz!"

As Brian Carter made his final inheritance choices, a slight tremor suddenly swept through his entire body.

When the tremor faded, he clearly felt his mind become sharper, his understanding of swordsmanship also soared, and in his mind, there were faint traces of two secret arts—one could see through all things, the other could draw upon the power of chaos, causing his cultivation to surge.

"Amazing."

Brian Carter muttered to himself.

At the same time, he glanced at his own attributes.

Brian Carter.

Chaos tier: tenth tier.

Recovery, first tier; comprehension, fourth tier; space, first tier; swordsmanship talent, second tier; sanctification, first tier; appraisal, first tier.

Required Dao Resonance: 6/100.

Cultivation realm: Muscle Transformation.

Attack tier less than 10, defense tier less than 10, speed tier less than 10, spirit tier 31.

"Dao-bearing item detected. Fuse?"

Just as Brian Carter was about to end the chaos technique and leave, a voice from the Chaos Shrine sounded.

"Dao-bearing items can only be nurtured by top treasures, containing Dao Resonance laws, extremely hard to obtain. Do I have one?"

Brian Carter looked for a moment, and following the Chaos Shrine's guidance, focused his mind on his own sea of consciousness.

There...

There was a divine jade. The jade seemed lifeless, yet it was absorbing some unknown external aura, slowly condensing it to repair itself. The Dao Resonance referred to by the Chaos Shrine was precisely the unknown aura this divine jade had absorbed over the past few days.

"This divine jade... was left by Grace, and was also obtained by Edward Clark from the True God's 'Jun' cave, a divine jade called 'Creation'..."

Brian Carter did not understand why this divine jade resided in his sea of consciousness.

Unable to figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it. If things like transmigration and rebirth can happen, what in this vast world is truly impossible?

"Dao Resonance value is four..."

Brian Carter looked for a while and chose to fuse.

Immediately, the light of the Creation Jade dimmed, and all the unknown aura accumulated over four days dissipated. The Dao Resonance on Brian Carter's character interface increased by four points.

After absorbing all the unknown aura, the Creation Jade paused for a moment, then once again began slowly absorbing more unknown aura from some mysterious source...

At this rate...

In another four days, it should be able to condense the same amount of Dao Resonance again.

Four days...

Brian Carter reacted quickly.

He had been in this world for exactly four days, hadn't he?

Four days, four Dao Resonance!

One per day?

If this divine jade is so miraculous, why had Edward Clark never mentioned it?

Or... did Edward Clark never activate the Creation Jade, and thus didn't know?

Brian Carter observed the Creation Jade in his mind for a long time, then withdrew his focus...

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Such an unexpected gain could only be a good thing.
