Chapter 190 This is a new version of the ship you have never played before
Chen Jue did not pay attention to the attribute panel that had just been updated, but looked around, from the dispersing clouds to the mountain ridges where silver dragons danced wildly, from the shining of the sun and the moon to the dim stars behind the blue sky and white clouds, and then to the solitary birds flying in the sky and the yaks lying in the snow as far as the eye could see.
At this moment, Chen Jue felt as if his eyes could see the rhythm of all things in the world, and his desire to explore the heavens, the earth, humans, natural creatures, and the universe began to grow infinitely.
This is the evolutionary curiosity that has been engraved in the genes of human ancestors since they ate raw meat and drank blood, drilled wood to make fire, and held the first meteorite tool in their hands. It is also the true meaning of life practice that Chen Jue has been seeking since he embarked on the journey of practice.
If the worldly Taoism that Chen Jue had previously sought in his ordinary life was a minor path, then what Chen Jue has now realized is the all-encompassing path of exploring and seeking truth.
As mentioned in the Book of Changes: "All people in the world have the same goal but different paths, and the same goal but a hundred considerations."
Whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, or modern science, there are three thousand great ways, different paths all lead to the same destination. The small paths are hidden in the great ways, and the world is also in the universe.
This is a transformation and sublimation of the spirit, mind, and will, and is a key step for Chen Jue to take in spiritual practice.
From this moment on, his practice finally progressed both physically and mentally, and he was completely at the forefront of all human sages throughout the ages!
The newly updated property panel also gives a new status:
[Sacred Heart]: Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, and a destiny for all living beings. The universe is infinite, and there are three thousand great ways. You will search up and down for the most holy way and enter the realm of the saint.
Status rating: 10
Status description: This status can greatly enhance one's mind, will, mental strength, understanding, sensory ability, learning ability, etc.
Chen Jue woke up from his epiphany, took a look at the new status bonus, smiled slightly, and felt that this [Holy Heart] was indeed in line with his current situation.
However, the newly updated attribute panel had changed a lot compared to before, and there was no time to study many details. After just a glance, Chen Jue had to quickly climb to the foot of the mountain.
The strong wind on the top of the mountain was freezing cold and the air was thin, which was not suitable for human beings to stay. If it were not for the purpose of verifying his own spiritual path and letting go of his obsession, Chen Jue would not have climbed up so rashly.
…
It took more than ten minutes to climb down from the peak of the Snow Mountain which was more than 5,000 meters high. Chen Jue saw wild yaks covered with snow.
"You silly cow, you really are used to the cold."
Chen Jue patted the ice and snow on the yak's body, and saw it slowly stand up from the snow, stretching its head and exhaling hot steam, and rubbing against him affectionately.
Chen Jue smiled slightly, shook the cassock and hada hanging on the cow, put it on again, then sat on the cow's back and drove it around the snow-capped mountains and headed further west.
The man and the cow bypassed the snowy mountain, while Chen Jue thought about the state of mind he had just gained for a long time and began to study the newly updated 3.0 version of the attribute panel:

New features:
[Skill Fusion]: You can consume a certain amount of attribute value to fuse existing skills to obtain new unknown skills.
(Note: The specific consumption is related to the number and type of fused skills. The new skill will inherit the properties and effects of the original skill and will be further enhanced.)
[State Smelting]: It can consume a certain amount of attribute value to smelt the existing state to obtain a new unknown state.
(Note: The specific consumption is related to the number and type of smelted states. The new state will inherit the effects of the original state, and uncontrollable changes may occur occasionally.)
…
After looking at the newly updated panel, Chen Jue showed a hint of joy. In addition to the newly added rating divisions for various bonus statuses and the evaluation of his own character, what interested Chen Jue the most were the two newly enabled functions.
"Skill fusion?"
"State smelting?"
"Awesome panel!"
Chen Jue first tried the [Skill Fusion] function, and when he clicked into the page, he found that it was a bit like a rotating colorful vortex. After looking at the densely packed skill list on the side, Chen Jue pondered for a moment, and felt that there were too many skills of the same type, so he dragged four square-shaped golden bell covers and threw them in.
[Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover (Perfect)] + [Shaolin Golden Bell Cover Lv1] + [Iron Arm Golden Bell Cover Lv1] + [Inner Hard Golden Bell Cover Lv1] =?
"Tip: This fusion will consume 0.04 attribute points. Do you want to perform the fusion?"
"Just that many attributes?"
"Is it because of the skill of the same name?"
Seeing a confirm and cancel button pop up, Chen Jue clicked the confirm button without saying a word.
Along with a burst of colorful light twisting in the vortex, the four skill block icons began to twist and merge, and finally with a "ding" sound, a new [Golden Bell Cover] skill popped out!
Chen Jue suddenly felt his skin and muscles swelling and his blood rushing. It was obvious that the newly integrated skills that increased his physical strength began to take effect. His strength and physique attributes each increased by 0.02.
Chen Jue hurriedly took a look at the description of the new skill: [Golden Bell Cover Lv4 (1/2000)]: A horizontal training hard work type skill. Practicing this function will enhance the body's ability to withstand blows, improve physical fitness, and increase strength.
"After fusing four Golden Bell Covers, I actually broke the original skill level limit!"
"It seems that I can continue to practice." Chen Jue was delighted. What he was most worried about now was not the future and his previous obsessions, but the fear that he would have no skills to practice.
Practicing qigong has become an integral part of his life and has become a new pleasure and pursuit in his life.
This newly opened [Skill Fusion] function is really to his liking.
I tried again and spent 0.06 attribute points to merge 6 Iron Shirts with the same name together, and the result was [Iron Shirt Lv4 (1/2000)], which obviously broke the original upper limit of the skill.
However, when Chen Jue was planning to further integrate [Shaolin Paida Kung Fu], [Henglian Thirteen Guardians], and the newly integrated [Golden Bell Cover] and [Iron Shirt], he found that the required free attribute points increased sharply to 0.98.
Obviously, this is because the skills provide different effects and are not skills of the same type, so a large number of free attribute points must be consumed in order to merge them.
In addition, Chen Jue discovered that the number of free attribute points required to try to combine the skills of Qinggong with the skills of Henglian also increased dramatically.
There were also standing meditation, boxing, and eye skills. Chen Jue dragged them into the fusion vortex one by one and tried. He found that if he wanted to streamline and compress the long skill bar, his only remaining 0.22 free attribute value was really not enough.
“Fuck!”
"It seems I have to go back and continue to work on my attributes!"
Of course, the newly opened [Status Smelting] is of the same nature as [Skill Fusion], both of which consume a lot of attribute points. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Chen Jue still plans to save more points before trying to use it.
