After reciting a strange mantra few times,
Lu Shang calms down his mind and then deeply clarifies his inner self.
Now he feels much clearer than before.
But Lu Shang can't help but wonder again.
'Huh, is that a new kind of inner demon who wants to separate transmigarators like me from the cultivation world in advance?'
'Now I have completely defeated this great villain, including knowing the root cause.'
'Hmmmm. I think, I need to be more specific about my goals, in order to avoid such evil temptations in the future and to keep my dao heart stable,
So that I can follow them in the future and move forward step by step.'
A few moments later, Lu Shang took a deep breath, reflecting on the memories he had gained as he transmigrated into this world.
He thought deeply for a while and decided to find out the aspirations of his inner self along with the hidden desires of his previous self…
....
….
'As a Transmigrator, I have already acquired the entire memory of Lu Shañg in this second life, as well as the anger, suffering, love, jealousy, and hatred that happened to him.
So in the second life, I also have almost the same feeling for his parents, and at the same time, hatred and anger at those who mistreated them and later killed them.
As a result in future, I will also take revenge on them whenever I get the chance.
So that my former self and their souls can rest in peace in the afterlife.
And when I get strong enough, along with my parents I will also get my former self parents a chance to bring them back to life.'
'And to move towards this unfathomable goal, I need to create many sub goals and aim so that I can reach my main goal step by step like climbing stairs.'
'After thinking for a long time, Lu Shang focused on the current situation and events to set for new sub goals and aims.'
'My first aim will be to join the sect no matter what. And after joining the sect, my sub goal would be to cautiously listen to the Dao sermon of Sect powerful cultivators and keep a low profile as much as possible but not be a 'sucker' until I feel secure and …'
'MUHahaha…ahahaha.'
'This will be a great thing to do.
Just imagine me as a handsome Daoist gaining immortality to shepherd the sheep; I mean, preaching and listening to the DAO to thousands of sheep. Oh no, what am I thinking again?'
….
….
Coming into this crazy world, am I getting crazier day by day?'
'Anyway, I have already experienced all the cultivation methods and techniques that previous Lu Shañg knew of except the system.'
'So now let's test the real thing!!!'
—---
~System!~
Lu Shang recalled the system in his mind, and immediately the system panel appeared before his eyes.
***
[⚙️ DAO System Online
📜 Core Principle
> Listen to the DAO, Gain the DAO.
A mystical cultivation system rooted in resonance—when a practitioner listens to others preaching the DAO, they absorb its DAO rhythm—a metaphysical frequency carrying insights, foundational truths, and spiritual momentum. As rhythms accumulate, lifespan is generated and stored.

- Cultivation progression
- Spiritual root refinement
- Skill mastery

Without wasting any time, Lu Shang focused on his system with seriousness.
'So according to the explanation of my system, if a cultivator shares or explains his cultivation truth and knowledge in front of me, then the rhythm, frequency, and foundation truth that can be found in that cultivator preaching will be converted into a lifespan by my system, which I can later use to evolve my cultivation stage, skills, and spiritual roots. Every time I think about this I feel like I'm on cloud nine.'
'And right now, I have no way to listen to any cultivators except listening to outside wild animals,
Hmmmm, should I try to use the system's life span ability first?'
'But the question is where can I use Life Span first? And how much?
Cultivation stage?
But, the next stage breakthrough will take at least 8-10 years of time.'
'So then, should I use Life Span in Spirit Root?
Haaa, What the hell am I thinking?
I'm pretty sure in the Spirit Root improvement, the lifespans will take more than in the Cultivation stage breakthrough.'
'So the only thing left is technique.
Hmmmm, let's use the short time of Life Span to evolve the technique to verify the system's ability.'
'Hmm, which technique should I use to invest for the first time?'
'The cultivation technique is connected to my foundation and needs much more time so leave it out.
The attack and defense technique is already in
Greater Mastery.'
'Hmm?'
When Lu Shang focused on the remaining Lu Clan shadow Step technique in the skill tab, suddenly some descriptions of that technique flashed before his eyes.
—-
[Mortal Grade: Mid - Lu Clan shadow Step (Minor).
Introduction: This technique describes seven specific systematic steps. Using one-tenth of spiritual energy If the practitioner completes the seven steps as mentioned in the technique, then his next one Hundred steps will be much faster than the normal speed of the practitioner. The speed boost of this technique will depend on the foundation of the practitioner and his proficiency in this technique.
Proficiency: In MINOR Accomplishments, the user will be able to boost 50% more than his normal speed at hundred steps using this technique.
Note: The user cannot use any activities while using this technique, otherwise it will fail.]

Lu Shang was overjoyed to discover this special ability of the system to describe the technique in-out.
Because of this, he will be able to know the correct information of all the other techniques and methods he would learn in the future.
Which was almost impossible to know correctly before. According to the memory of his former self, Lu Shang has seen various things. Among them, it was very common for cultivators to die of Qi devastation due to misinformation of various techniques and methods.
So knowing the correct details of a technique is very important for him.
Lu Shang now decided to evolve his instant movement technique first.
And this particular technique, he was stuck in the minor stage proficiency for a few years.
Despite this technique's side effects, Lu Shang knows very well why this particular technique is a famous and renowned technique in his former clan.
Because its special effect starts at the Greater Mastery level, at this proficiency level the speed boost of the technique increases by about three times and the user can use one to two attack or defense methods during the technique.
And the main reason why this technique was also famous in the surrounding cities is that the previous leader of the Lu Shang family, the Peak Qi stage cultivator, was able to kill an injured Foundation stage enemy using this movement technique. Although in the process the Lu clan patriarch almost died while trying to kill the enemy. But such incidents were so rare that at that time, the topic was discussed in various taverns in the surrounding counties and cities for several years.
Because of this Lu Shang also has high hopes and wants to try using life span ability in the techniques to see what happens?
Besides, the previous Lu Shang had already stuck to this technique for the last three or four years without any improvement, so If he's lucky, maybe one year will be enough to take this Lu Clan shadow footstep technique from minor mastery to greater mastery.
'Then let's start my first lifespan investment into this movement technique.'
