"The so-called [Ascension Sequence] is actually a predetermined path. As long as you cultivate step by step, you can grasp the corresponding laws."

"In fact, some predecessors speculate that the process of becoming a god is the process of fully mastering a particular law."

"With a fixed sequence, compared to realizing it on your own, it’s naturally a thousand times easier. After using the [Ascension Sequence], not only will the experience points needed for leveling up significantly decrease, but as your Level increases, you will automatically acquire the corresponding Skills and Traits of the sequence."

"These Skills and Traits belong to the power of a God, each incredibly powerful, even with [Absolute Skills] and [Divine Techniques] level inheritances!"

Zhao Jie’s words made Chu Xiu fully understand just how precious this [Ascension Sequence] was. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

It can significantly reduce the cultivation difficulty during the [Heroic Spirit] stage!

At this point, Chu Xiu realized that even the final rewards of the Fierce Tier Trial were so precious, so the final rewards he obtained after perfectly passing the Ancient Trials: [Deep Diving Safety Rope (Taboo)], [Emperor Xi’s Exploration Lamp (Taboo)], [Black Water Heavy Oil*5 (Taboo)] must be unimaginably valuable.

This made Chu Xiu incredibly eager for Free Deep Diving in the future.

While he was pondering, Zhao Jie smiled and said, "Of course, the [Ascension Sequence] is not without its drawbacks."

"Firstly, after absorbing a sequence, you will abandon all Skills and Traits gained from your original Profession."

"Secondly, once you confirm a sequence, you cannot switch to another. Generally speaking, the lower the sequence number, the stronger it is; this is also why Senior Jiang specifically required the first two thousand sequences."

"Finally, the difficulty of acquiring sequences is too high. They are usually granted by [Gods] to their subordinate Attendants for cultivation. Ordinary Awakened have no way to obtain them through normal means."

"Oh, and there’s another flaw that’s not really a flaw. Walking this path means your future potential is capped. Lower-grade sequences can only cultivate up to [Demigod] at best, while advanced sequences can reach a special Tier [Pseudo-God], which is weaker than [God] but much stronger than [Demigod]."

"Of course, worrying about this seems unnecessary. Since the Abyss invasion, how many geniuses have emerged, yet how many have reached Demigod status?"

Zhao Jie’s words made several other Heroic Spirits nod in agreement. At least following the sequence, one could cultivate to Demigod. Following the path of a Mortal to become a god, most likely one would be stuck at the Heroic Spirit stage for life.

However, this was precisely the opposite for Chu Xiu, dispelling his thought of keeping the [Ascension Sequence] for self-cultivation.

He also somewhat understood what this Artifact was about. Probably after using it, you would become an "affiliate" of a [God], following his predetermined path of cultivation, but you could never surpass that [God] in your lifetime.

With the most top-notch Demon Inheritance, Chu Xiu could not be bound by such things to a limit.

"But what I don’t need, others would crave,"

Just as the host called Chu Xiu’s number, after a brief thought, Chu Xiu walked onto the stage.

"I need [Red Dragon True Flame], [Geng Metal Meteorite Iron], [Shadow Core], or similar materials."

"As for the price I’m willing to pay..."

He waved his hand, and a mass of hazy substance hidden in chaos appeared in his hand.

"It is an Ascension Sequence inherited from the Gambling God, sequence number 657!"

Chu Xiu’s words did not stir much commotion in the venue. Most people just glanced at it and then looked away.

The reason was simple; hardly anyone in the entire venue had heard of this Artifact!

Most people just regarded it as some strange little Artifact and laughed it off.

However, the Heroic Spirits in the Heaven’s Number One Box jumped up from their seats like springs the moment Chu Xiu’s words fell, their faces full of astonishment and disbelief!

"Ascension Sequence??? Brother Qin actually has an Ascension Sequence???"

It turns out he was asking about this matter because he had it on him!

Chu Xiu’s image among the Heroic Spirits instantly became more mysterious and towering.

His power was strong, his Divine Techniques unheard of, he was actually an Artifact Refiner, and most terrifying of all, not only did he have an Ascension Sequence, but he was willing to sell it! And it was actually a sequence in the thousands!

"Could he possibly have an even earlier Ascension Sequence on him?"

Thinking this, even the veteran Heroic Spirits couldn’t help but look at Chu Xiu in a new light. To be honest, though they showed enough enthusiasm towards Chu Xiu on the surface, having been in power for a long time, they subconsciously held a slight contempt for him.

But now it was completely different. They had a faint intuition that Chu Xiu was definitely not as simple as he appeared! They needed to increase their efforts to win him over!

Of course, that’s a matter for later. The most important thing now was to secure this Ascension Sequence!

Jiang Lingfu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. "Is Brother Qin’s item truly an Ascension Sequence? May I take a look on stage?"

"Of course," Chu Xiu replied calmly.

Jiang Lingfu then extended his hand, smashing the reinforced soundproof glass in front of him, and leaped onto the stage eagerly.

After confirming the item’s authenticity, he couldn’t contain his joy!

"Brother Qin, I’ll take this item. I’ll offer one million, no, two million Cause and Effect Points!"

As his words fell, the originally calm venue erupted like a pot of boiling oil, instantly becoming noisy!
