I Cultivate Passively Chapter 123 - 20 Passive Skills!

Chapter 123: 20 Passive Skills!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since Zhou Feng had learned that the Purple Jade Bell might transform into a spiritual artifact, he had been paying attention to its transformation progress.
Although the Purple Jade Bell’s transformation was very slow, its progress speed would accelerate every time his cultivation base increased.
And this time, Zhou Feng’s cultivation base directly jumped to Grade-4 of the Soul Altar realm.
The Purple Jade Bell’s transformation seemed to have accelerated because of this.!!
‘Not yet… but it seems to be fast!’
Zhou Feng carefully sensed the Purple Jade Bell’s transformation and discovered that a wisp of spirituality was already in the process of being nurtured. He believed that it wouldn’t be long before the Purple Jade Bell could truly transform into a spiritual artifact.
His cultivation base had jumped to Grade-4 of the Soul Altar realm in an instant, while the Purple Jade Bell’s transformation was accelerated.
Zhou Feng was moving in a good direction again!
‘This is a good opportunity to sort out my current situation!’
Zhou Feng took advantage of this time to sort out his current situation.
The first thing he wanted to do was to use passive skills as the basis of his foundation.
It could be said that many of Zhou Feng’s passive skills were his main support, allowing him to escape danger effortlessly.
According to the order of acquisition, Gluttony (Level 2), Old Skin, Self-Healing Constitution, Battle Instinct, Bone Coating…
Counting in detail, Zhou Feng had already acquired a total of 20 passive skills.
Although he knew he had obtained a lot, this number gave him a shock.
‘I already have 20 passive skills!?’
This seemed to be less than a year!
If this trend continued, it wouldn’t be a dream to have thousands of passive skills.
As long as Zhou Feng lived long enough, he would be able to accumulate all kinds of passive skills over time.
One had to know that each time one broke through a major realm, their lifespan would increase from the Soul Altar realm onward.
Living for a few hundred years wasn’t a problem for some almighty cultivators.
Not to mention that he had the passive Longevity, which directly gave him an extra 20 years of lifespan out of thin air.
‘So many passive skills… Will I still be able to remember them clearly in the future?’
Zhou Feng felt a little anxious over his many passive skills.
The further he went, the more passive skills he would have, and even he might not be able to remember them clearly.
‘But I should be able to remember most of the useful and important passive skills!’ Zhou Feng slowly comforted himself in his heart.
Among his many passive skills, not all of them were useful.
In the future, he only needed to remember the important passive skills.
Take the current passive skills that he had as an example.
Skills like Nature Affinity, Fisherman, Amorous Prodigal Heart, and so on, were kind of useless under normal circumstances.
On the other hand, passive growth-type skills like Master Hunter, Soul Harvesting, and Whetstone were of paramount importance. These passive skills could be stacked continuously, increasing Zhou Feng’s strength.
There were also passive skills such as Battle Instinct, Bone Coating, Aura Blade, and Armor-Piercing Spear, which could play a very strong role in battle.
Zhou Feng could completely rely on these passive skills to make his own future plans and battle style to become stronger.
Old Skin, Tough Skin, along with Unyielding Heart and Self-Healing Constitution, allowed him to recover passively, so his battle style leaned toward head-on battles, exchanging injuries for injuries.
‘Other than these passive skills, I only have the Purple Jade Bell as a soul weapon! I haven’t raised any Gu yet, but the Demon-Devouring Gu seems to be able to fight on its own now!’
Other than the passive skills, Zhou Feng appeared to be much weaker in all other aspects.
He only had one soul artifact. It was considered a small number compared to others who had three or four.
Still, the Purple Jade Bell would transform into a spiritual artifact, so it was not at a disadvantage in this aspect.
As for new Gu, he did not have the time to refine any. He only had his Vital Gu to assist him in battle.
Dao arts? The same as before, the four Demon-Devouring Arts— Armor, Battle Art, Physique, Technique.
Zhou Feng could barely reach minor success, and he did not have the chance to master them or learn new dao arts and techniques.
After sorting it out, Zhou Feng felt that he should try his best to make use of his strengths.
In other aspects, Zhou Feng would not be able to compete with others. Only with more passive skills could he continue to suppress those geniuses and monsters.
Therefore, he felt that he only needed to obtain more passive skills.
‘Oh right! I just broke through. According to the rules, the skill panel’s progress bar should be full!’
Zhou Feng recalled the previous rule.
That was that every time he broke through, the skill panel’s progress bar would increase.
Therefore, he opened the skill panel immediately.
As expected, the progress bar was full. He could draw passive skills again.
“Draw!”
“Drawing!”
The next thing he knew was how many times he had gone through the process of drawing.
“Drawing successful!”
Injury Conversion: Your injuries can be converted into attack power! The more serious your injuries are, the higher your attack power will be!
The maximum attack power will be doubled!
‘Injury Conversion? The more health I have, the more powerful my attack power will be!?’
Zhou Feng was bewildered upon seeing this new passive skill.
Wasn’t this directly forcing him to become a Berserker!?
If it was a little more extreme, wouldn’t his attack power be doubled if he kept himself in a near-death state?
Then, this could be combined with his Unyielding Heart!
The Unyielding Heart’s effect was that the more severe the injury, the faster the healing speed would be.
This way, he didn’t have to be afraid of making a careless mistake and try to dodge. The more severe the injury, the higher his attack power would be.
At the same time, the recovery speed of the injury would also become very fast.
After that, he would exchange injuries with the enemy to keep the injuries in the same range.
Zhou Feng now had an embryonic form of his future fighting style in his mind.
‘What a pity! I only have one passive regeneration constitution! It would be great if I could have one passive that could speed up the recovery of my injuries!’
It was a pity that Zhou Feng only had one passive skill that could heal his injuries.
That was the Self-Healing Constitution. If he could have a few more passive healing constitutions, he could directly carry out the strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries.
In the future, no matter who they were, Zhou Feng could go up and fight head-on to see who could withstand it better.
This new passive was not bad.
It made up for his lack of attacking methods to a certain extent.
‘Next, it is time to stack the passive skills! Let’s start from the outer sect! Or rather, let’s start from the Gu Refinement Cave!’
Since Zhou Feng had sorted out his strengths and weaknesses and drawn a new passive skill, he could put his previous plan in motion.
He would harvest the souls from the outer and inner sect!
The passive Soul Harvesting could increase his soul power, indirectly aiding his cultivation speed.
Zhou Feng’s first target was the Gu Refinement Cave, the place he had climbed out of with great difficulty.
‘Gu Refinement Cave… It seems that the strongest person stationed there does not even have a Soul Altar! Back then, I still believed that there were Elders in the Gu Refinement Cave!’
Zhou Feng’s gaze suddenly sharpened upon thinking back to the time he had experienced in the Gu Refinement Cave..
