There were too many missions on the mission list so he was too lazy to read them. But his inventory made his eyes sparkle because the Primordial God Body had actually appeared there.
"If it really is the real world, then I will cultivate with the Primordial God Body, I don't know how great my talent will be."
"Auntie, Angela, and Yingyue, their game accounts also bought Heavenly Bodies, if this is really a real cultivation world, they will also get peerless talent."
"In the past, I only had a spiritual body, although it was among the top tier among the three thousand spiritual bodies, but still it couldn't be compared to one of a hundred heavenly bodies."
"Emmmm, and they even gave the Longevity Scripture and the Iron Dragon Fist." Qin Tian then looked at the two bonus items in his inventory.
He naturally knew both techniques.
(Warning: below is dump info.)
The Longevity Scripture are one of the most famous cultivation techniques in the sixteen heavens. It was scattered all over the place and most of the sects in the sixteen heavens didn't care whether they were big sects or small sects, most of them would have it.
Actually the Longevity Scripture is not a powerful cultivation technique, it can even be said to be very weak, but because it is a cultivation technique that is sold cheaply and is easy to learn, many people end up practicing with it.
But it was just a low level cultivation technique in the end, for geniuses with big ambitions, they naturally wouldn't use such a cultivation technique.
If they wanted to become experts with extremely strong combat power, they had to at least cultivate the Paragon Cultivation Scriptures. Of course, the Emperor's Cultivation Scriptures were much stronger.
The Southern Emperor's Cultivation Scripture, the Flame Emperor's Cultivation Scripture, the Purple Moon Emperor's Cultivation Scripture, these three are the most famous Emperor Scriptures in the sixteen heavens because their creators were the strongest Heavenly Emperors.
The basic difference between low level cultivation techniques and high level cultivation techniques is the speed at which they absorb spiritual energy and turn them into spiritual sources.
Of course, high-level cultivation techniques were also more difficult to learn, but for those with high talent, using low-level cultivation techniques would only make their cultivation speed very slow.
Unfortunately Qin Tian had already spent too much money before, so he didn't dare ask for more so he couldn't buy any cultivation techniques.
His only hope was the memory of his past. In the past, he was a disciple of an Imperial sect and he was the most genius disciple in the sect so he was granted the right to cultivate the sect's Emperor Cultivation Scripture.
Even though the Emperor of his sect was not a very powerful Emperor, but the Emperor was still an Emperor, even the Ancient Gods were not their opponents. In reality, even Ancient Gods would fight for every Emperor Cultivation Scripture that appeared.
But even though the Longevity Scripture is just a low level cultivation technique, there are actually many legends about it.
One of the most famous legends is the secret of immortality that is said to be hidden behind the Longevity Scripture.
However, the origin of the technique is still unknown. There are many legends but none that are quite convincing.
As for the Iron Dragon Fist, it was also one of the most famous martial techniques. It was famous not because of its immense strength because it was a low level martial technique.
What makes the technique famous is because of its legend.
It was said in the distant past, there was an iron dragon that passed over the sixteen heavens.
When people saw the dragon, they suddenly gained enlightenment, and the end result was that they suddenly mastered a martial technique that became known as the Iron Dragon Fist.
There are many legends about the technique. Many said that there was a great secret in the technique, and if someone could find out that secret, they were said to be able to inherit the iron dragon's legacy.
Qin Tian didn't think much of the legends in his past life. Whether it was the Longevity Scripture or the Iron Dragon Fist, he only considered these two to be low level techniques. But because these two techniques suddenly appeared in his inventory, he couldn't help but think back about the legends of the past.
"Maybe I can find out those secrets with the Primordial God Body." He think.
"Ehhh..."
When Qin Tian was thinking, he suddenly felt a stream of information enter his memory. It is actually someone's memory.
"Damn, this is my character in the game or my reincarnation memory." Said Qin Tian as he realized that.
Right after that, he suddenly saw a light penetrate his eyes, it made him realize that he could already open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a vast ocean with waves that occasionally surged upwards.
When he looked down, he finally realized that he was on the deck of a ship.
He then raised his head to the sky before taking a deep breath.
"I certainly am not mistaken, this truly is the air of sixteen heavens." He said in a low voice.
Of course, that alone was still not enough to determine if it really was the real sixteen heavens.
He then studied the memories from his reincarnation.
Just like the name, his reincarnation name is also Qin Tian.
According to his reincarnation memories, he was currently in the Dead Sea Territory of Nirvana Heaven.
Qin Tian naturally knows the place.
Nirvana Heaven itself is one of the sixteen heavens. It had five regions called the Land of Monsters in the east, the Land of Rain in the north, the Barren Territory in the south, the Dead Sea Territory in the far west, and the Land of Emperors in the center.
Qin Tian wasn't from Nirvana Heaven, but he had been to that place several times and he even had a few friends there. Even though he had only been to the Land of Emperors, he still knew some things in the other four territories.
"But my reincarnation is really sad." Qin Tian then looked at his two thin hands.
In this world he is also 17 years old. But he has no parents or family, he has lived in an orphanage since he was little.
His reincarnation dreams of becoming a famous swordsman. From his youth, he always carried a sword wherever he went. However, even though he always carried a sword, he couldn't practice swordsmanship due to his weak body. His body had become weak due to an unknown disease.
At this time, he was following his brother in the orphanage to the continent of the Shark God.
They came from a small island around the Shark God continent. In reality, it was only one of the countless islands there.
Every few years, there would be envoys from sects in the Shark God continent who would come to the islands to recruit new disciples.
His brother, Yang Ming, happened to have quite a talent in cultivation. He was only 17 years old and he had already reached the third layer of Spiritual Apprentice.
When the sect envoys came to their island, Yang Ming was successfully accepted by one of the smaller sects. And he then took him to the Shark God continent in the hope that they could find someone who could cure his disease.
"For people like you and your brother who have little talent, you may not be able to pay the fees even if you meet someone who can cure your disease." Qin Tian shook his head.
"But fortunately you are my reincarnation. With the Primordial God Body, no disease in this world can invade your body."
Qin Tian then looked at the virtual screen that had suddenly appeared in front of him. His gaze is fixed on the image of the gray body in the inventory menu.
"Use that." He said in a low voice.
"Would you like to use the Primordial God Body?"
A question appeared on the virtual screen.
"Yes." Qin Tian immediately nodded.
Bussss...
After which, that Primordial God Body image suddenly scattered like wind blown dust, it disappeared from his inventory menu.
But the moment that happened, Qin Tian could feel the changes in his body.
His original body was only a mortal body and he hadn't even cultivated so he couldn't activate spiritual sense.
But now, his spiritual sense could suddenly be activated. For those who haven't cultivated, usually only those with a special body, bloodline, or soul that can activate spiritual sense.
Even though his spiritual sense was just activated, Qin Tian didn't need to train to control it because of his past experiences.
He then used that spiritual sense to investigate his body.
"Mmm…" He immediately showed a shocked expression as he looked at the insides of his body.
Whether it was flesh, blood, bones, and everything in his body, it actually turned a dark gray like the color when the sky was dark.
"Is this the Primordial God Body?"
"And that," he then stared at the gray ball in his stomach.
"Even my spiritual world is gray."

"Primordial Soul, Primordial Bloodline?" Qin Tian was immediately shocked as he looked at his bloodline and soul. He originally thought that only his body would change. After all, whether it was the soul or the bloodline, they were a separate plane from the body.
"So that's why my blood turned gray. But unfortunately I can't see my soul right now."
"It's just that, I've never heard of primordial souls and primordial bloodlines."
The soul is just like the body, some people are born with special souls. However, the number of people born with special souls was far rarer. In fact, there is not much knowledge of special souls in the sixteen heavens. Even at the item shop before, he didn't find any soul items.
And a special bloodline, it was something that came from top level experts passed down to their descendants.
"I was only a young Paragon at the time, so there are many secrets I don't know, I don't even know where the Emperors went." He shook his head.
"Now it's better if I try this body strength first."
After saying that, he walked from the deck to the room behind him.
The ship was really, really big. It has many rooms and each room has its own deck.
Qin Tian actually lived in Yang Ming's room, but at this time that Yang Ming was not in his room, he went to the place of the sect envoy who had recruited him.
After entering the room, Qin Tian did not immediately try to cultivate, he first walked towards the mirror in the room. He wanted to see the appearance of his new body first.
Now what was completely different from his body was that he didn't feel the weakness he had before, which meant that his disease was gone.
After seeing his body in the mirror, he could only shake his head.
His body was really thin and his skin looked very pale like a dead person. He would probably have looked good if it weren't for those two problems.
But he was immediately taken aback when he saw his eyes and hair. His eyes were purple like grapes while his hair was white like silver.
The Sixteen Heavens actually had many races, but purple eyes and white hair were still extremely rare.
Of course, it wasn't because of their rarity that Qin Tian was shocked, but it was because he was reminded of someone who had such eyes and hair.
"Alea, I don't know how you are now, I hope you are well. Unfortunately your master failed to become Heavenly Emperor, and died." Qin Tian sighed as he remembered his disciple.
His disciple had the ambition to become a Heavenly Emperor, but because she was born quite late, she ended up sealing herself in the Immortal burial ground.
Qin Tian had never seen her again since escorting her there.
He didn't know what era it was now, and how many eras had passed since he died. His current reincarnation didn't have much knowledge. Maybe only 17 years had passed since he reincarnated, but he knew a natural reincarnation process like what happened to him would definitely take a very long time.
"I hope we can meet again."
He then turned away from the mirror and walked towards the bed in the room.
He moved the sword at his waist onto the table before climbing onto the bed.
Unlike him in the past who liked to carry swords but only as accessories, his current reincarnation really liked swords a lot.
"Sorry, unfortunately I still have no interest in learning sword arts." Said Qin Tian.
"Now then, it's time to find out if this is the real world or just a game world."
"But before that," he then looked at the two bonus items in his inventory.
"Use them."
After he spoke, the two items immediately disappeared from his inventory, and his stats changed immediately after that.
Statistics:
<Nickname: Jian>
<Race: Human>
<Body: Primordial God Body>
<Bloodline: Primordial Bloodline>
<Soul: Primordial Soul>
Cultivation Technique:
<Longevity Scripture (First Stage: Can absorb one spiritual energy in 1 second.)>
Martial Arts Techniques:
<Iron Dragon Fist (First Stage: Can release 100kg of strength with one spiritual source.)>
<Cultivation: None> / <Spiritual Source: 0/1>
<Spiritual Energy: 0> (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)
"Ha?"
Qin Tian was immediately shocked when he saw his new stats.
What took him by surprise were the words (First Stage) that appeared on the Longevity Scripture and the Iron Dragon Fist.
"As expected, these two techniques are no ordinary techniques."
If it's the first stage, there will probably be a second stage or a third stage. But from what he knew, those two techniques only had one stage.
"And it can actually absorb 1 spiritual energy within 1 second, obviously because of the Primordial God Body. Even low level cultivation techniques are almost comparable to high level cultivation techniques."
"But what if I use a high level cultivation technique?" Qin Tian became even more curious.
In his past life, it took him more than ten seconds to absorb a single spiritual energy when he cultivated using the Longevity Scripture, even though he had a high-level spiritual body at that time.
But now it only takes him a second.
He finally found out how great that Primordial God Body was. Not to mention 250 million dollars, even the entire sixteen heavens might not compare to that.
And what was most powerful about the Primordial God Body was its ability to absorb every kind of energy.
For an ordinary mortal body or even a spiritual body like the one he had in his past life, they could normally only absorb pure spiritual energy which could only be found in extremely rare cultivation resources.
If they try to absorb spiritual energy in nature or ordinary resources, they have to purify it first before they can absorb it into their bodies.
From purifying spiritual energy, absorbing it into the body, and turning it into a spiritual source, the time they spent was really very long.
"Now I will try to cultivate with the cultivation techniques in my memory. Whether this is the real world or just the game world can be determined whether or not those cultivation techniques can be used."
