Chapter 101: The Heaven-Stealer, Stealing the Power of the Heavenly Dao, Repairing the Human Sovereign Banner
“You know me?” He looked at the Old Monster excitedly.
The Old Monster looked at his expression, gave a long sigh, and fell into thought.
Your Primordial Spirit is completely stabilized, and you have regained control of your body. With the Old Monster present, you can rest easy.
“Do you want to know your identity? Then come with me,” the Old Monster said.
He nodded and followed the Old Monster away without a shred of hesitation.
Before leaving, the Old Monster said to you, “A late-stage Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit force, quite good! Hurry and refine the power of the Heavenly Dao!”
At the same time, he tossed you a pill. “Eat it. It will quickly restore your Primordial Spirit force.”
Watching the Old Monster leave, you swallowed the pill without hesitation and began refining it.
Three days later, your late-stage Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit force was restored, and your cultivation reached its peak state.
Your Primordial Spirit began to approach the power of the Heavenly Dao, gradually absorbing and refining it.
Your refining process was extremely slow. The power of rules represented by the Heavenly Dao was obscure and difficult to understand. It was not something a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like you could comprehend.
Fortunately, you possessed a late-stage Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit force. A late-stage Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit already touched upon a trace of the power of rules. Bolstered by your Primordial Spirit, you barely began refining the power of the Heavenly Dao.
As strands of Heavenly Dao power were analyzed and refined by your Primordial Spirit and merged into you, you sensed a gaze watching you!
This gaze carried a chilling coldness. You felt you had been discovered by some terrifying existence, as if the very next moment you would die a violent death.
“Hmph!” A voice exploded in your mind, and the cold gaze vanished instantly. You knew the Old Monster had made his move.
“Continue your refining. With me here, no one can harm you!”
You silently gave thanks in your heart, then your Primordial Spirit continued refining the power of the Heavenly Dao.
As a trace of Heavenly Dao power merged into your Primordial Spirit, your Primordial Spirit arrived at a palace and saw a giant with its back to you!
At this moment, you were like an ant, stealing a trace of the giant’s energy.
And the giant seemed not to detect it at all, allowing you to steal.
You looked carefully, and only then discovered that the giant’s body was already riddled with wounds, as if it had suffered a devastating blow.
The giant’s body was split into streams of energy, absorbed by something.
Among them, the energy you absorbed was the smallest and weakest!
Only then did you realize—so, there was far more than just you stealing the power of the Heavenly Dao!
Moreover, their speed of stealing power was far beyond yours.
The trace of power you stole was utterly worthless before them!
“Oh? Another Heaven-Stealer has arrived. Interesting!”
“Weak as an ant, negligible.”
The palace fell silent. You did not dare make a sound, afraid of arousing their curiosity.
Three years later, through your unremitting efforts, you finally absorbed and refined one layer of the Heavenly Dao power in your mind.
Your Primordial Spirit had not changed much, only gaining an indescribable majesty.
At this moment, having gained a trace of the Authority of the Heavenly Dao, you could already clearly sense a hint of the scenes within the Heaven Mystery Continent.
You “saw” the situation of the Azure Cloud Sect in the northern part of the continent.
The Azure Cloud Sect that you had exterminated had been rebuilt once more. But within the sect, there were only a scant few thousand cultivators, completely incomparable to the Azure Cloud Sect before its annihilation.
You discovered that within the Azure Cloud Sect, evil cultivation techniques ran rampant, and incidents of cannibalism occurred frequently.
Your vision arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect’s main hall. You saw the Azure Cloud Sect’s Spirit Transformation Ancestor, a creature neither male nor female, neither human nor ghost.
You silently memorized this person’s appearance and aura, planning to eliminate the future threat once the simulation ended.
Your gaze drifted into the distance, and unknowingly arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
You saw Zhang Wuji. At this moment, Zhang Wuji was reporting the situation to a shadowy figure.
“Reporting to the Pavilion Master, my people found no trace of Ye Xiao within the Holy City. He may have already…”
The shadowy figure sighed. “Enough. Blame his poor fortune. There is no need to search further.”
Your gaze slowly moved upward, and you saw a body with a fiery figure, and a peerlessly beautiful face.
“Who goes there!” A cold shout came from the shadowy figure, clearly having detected your spying.
The scene before your eyes vanished. Your consciousness returned to your body, and you fell silent for a long time.
“So this is the northern head of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Shen Qiushuang?” you murmured.
Soon, a sharp pain came from your mind. This was a sign of your Primordial Spirit being overused.
Although you grasped a trace of Heavenly Dao power and could see the situation across most of the Heaven Mystery Continent, with your current cultivation, it was clearly difficult to maintain for long.
If the time went on too long, your Primordial Spirit would be overdrawn.
A month later, your Primordial Spirit had mostly recovered, and you chose to leave seclusion.
Given your current cultivation, refining one layer of the Heavenly Dao power in your mind was already your limit.
Continuing to cultivate in seclusion would be useless.
After leaving seclusion, you did not see the Old Monster or Little Nannan. With nothing to do, you had no choice but to take out the artifact-refining jade slip and begin studying it.
You took out the damaged Earth-rank high-grade dharma artifact, the Human Sovereign Banner, and began researching how to repair it.
With your current cultivation, the Immortal Sword required too much spiritual power, and its power could not be controlled.
Instead, the Earth-rank high-grade dharma artifact, the Human Sovereign Banner, was something you could bring out with your full strength.
“The reason my Human Sovereign Banner is damaged is because the artifact’s base materials are too poor.”
“As long as I take out superior refining materials and refine them into the Human Sovereign Banner, wouldn’t it be repaired?”
You seemed to have found the root of the problem. Joy filled your heart, and you began experimenting.
You walked into the smithy’s warehouse and looked over the refining materials strewn everywhere, carefully making your selections.
“Meteoric iron from beyond the heavens? Trash.”
“The skull of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator? Tsk.”
“A parasol tree branch? A good thing! It will definitely make a sturdy soul pole.”
Because the Old Monster had previously told you that the materials here could be taken freely, you held nothing back, taking whatever was good.
Although you could not control most of the refining materials, melting them down through the furnace here and refining them into the Human Sovereign Banner was not too much of a problem.
“If I merge all these refining materials in, then I won’t have to worry about my Human Sovereign Banner’s future upgrade path either!” you thought, pleased.
Half a year later, you looked at the Earth-rank high-grade Human Sovereign Banner in your hand, forged and pieced together from various top-grade refining materials, and revealed a satisfied smile.
