Chapter 357: 357 Encroaching Domain
“Manifestation Traces, alright.” Mu Qingtong nodded.
Previously, the Fate Stone had absorbed a wisp of destruction’s divine power in White Emperor City and converted it into 8708 Life Force Value. Mu Qingtong estimated that 5000 Life Force Value could be used to wish for a Manifestation Trace. To be honest, Xia Feng felt a bit sheepish about this. After all, Miss Mu could use this Life Force Value to wish for many things she desired.
“Miss Mu, I’m actually quite curious. Have you collected the Holy Solution Materials yourself?”
“No.”
“Ah?”
“Miss Mu, you haven’t really fallen for me, have you?” Xia Feng rubbed his chin, suddenly enlightened. “No wonder you’re so good to me.”
“Mr. Xia, try saying one more nonsense word.”
“…” Xia Feng dared not speak further.
Miss Mu glanced at him with her beautiful eyes before closing them and summoning the Fate Stone.
—The foolish Mr. Xia would never understand that the Peach Organization’s spy network throughout the empire had reached a terrifying scale. They knew many secrets, including the locations of two Manifestation Traces. She could find a way to retrieve them when needed. As Mr. Xia urgently needed it now, she would use the Life Force Value for him. This was an emergency measure, and it was something she had promised.
As for falling for him? Mr. Xia was really dreaming! Mu Qingtong’s expression was serene, with a faint golden light flickering within the amethyst that appeared between her eyebrows.
As Life Force Value was continuously invested, the golden light separated, swiftly converging into a ball of light before the two of them. Finally, the halo dispersed. A rectangular piece of paper inscribed with mysterious patterns appeared. This was the Manifestation Trace. As Mu Qingtong guided it, the paper floated up and instantly surged into Xia Feng’s forehead.
Xia Feng’s dark pupils immediately flashed with golden light.
[100 grams of Holy Solution ( )]
[100 Obsidian of your primary attribute ( )]
[3 Manifestation Traces ( )]
[Holy Solution Materials Collected!]
[Proceed to the second stage of Holy Solution?]
As Xia Feng’s thought to perform the Holy Solution fell, the bronze ancient mirror that floated in his Mental Sea instantly devoured the three Holy Solution Materials. The mirror’s surface gradually lit up with countless colored streams of light, and the ancient bronze mirror frame also took on a faint, mysterious rose-gold hue.
Holy Solution required the carving of holy marks. If the Holy Solution process was likened to painting an ink wash painting, then the Holy Solution was the ink, the Manifestation Traces were the paper, and the Obsidian was the inkstone. The Holy Solution Ritual was the brush. Currently, the brush was missing, so the carving of holy marks naturally could not be perfectly completed. However, it was fine; ink wash paintings didn’t necessarily need a brush.泼ing all the ground ink onto the paper could still result in a very artistic ink wash painting.
As Xia Feng’s thought fell, the infinite colored light in the bronze ancient mirror scattered outwards with a boom, and a golden seam split open on his forehead at that very moment. After the unrestrained light subsided, one could see a narrow, elongated cross-shaped golden pattern. Its horizontal bar was very short, making the overall shape resemble a light-gold command sword.
[Second Stage of Holy Solution Complete!]
[Alpha Divine Mirror Without Stand]
[Using copper as a mirror, one can see the proper attire; using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses; using the past as a mirror, one can know the rise and fall.]
[Using copper as a mirror – Spirit Unsealing: —Copy | Optimize | Remove the false and preserve the true]
[Using people as a mirror – Holy Solution: —Fusion Device | Enlightenment | Encroaching Domain]
[Encroaching Domain: Within the domain, you can arbitrarily mark two living beings. When these two living beings develop hostility towards each other, you can allow them to engage in an attribute comparison. The weaker party will gain an infinite increase in a single attribute until it matches the stronger party. For example: Within the domain, if a target develops hostility towards you, it is considered initiating a battle. You can mark the target as your mirror learning object. You compare your five basic attribute values—Strength, Agility, Spirit, Psyche, and Concept—with the learning object. If any one of them is higher for the opponent, you can consume ‘Encroaching Points’ to infinitely increase your corresponding weak attribute until it matches the target (only one attribute can be increased).]
[Encroaching Points: You can invest Obsidian and copied Spirit Artifacts into the bronze ancient mirror to convert them into Encroaching Points. By consuming Encroaching Points, you can infinitely increase attributes without any upper limit.
—Single attribute True Martial peak: 1000 Encroaching Points
—Single attribute Venerable peak: 10000 Encroaching Points
—Single attribute Sage peak: 100,000 Encroaching Points
—Single attribute Spirit King peak: 1,000,000 Encroaching Points

“Oh my god!”
The so-called Spirit King was an eighth-stage Star God. The “Concept” attribute among Strength, Agility, Spirit, Psyche, and Concept was a realm that only Sages could touch upon at the very least. Xia Feng didn’t understand this very well. He reviewed the information in his mind again. He was certain that this was a unique divine skill that allowed for a 50/50 split. Although it couldn’t achieve a 50/50 split across all attributes, a 50/50 split in a single attribute was already outrageous. Moreover, it wasn’t just about making himself equal to the enemy, but also choosing a teammate to be equal to the enemy.
And as long as there were enough Encroaching Points, there was no upper limit. Even when facing gods, he could mark them as learning objects and achieve a 50/50 split. Of course, everything was contingent on having enough Encroaching Points. Currently, only Obsidian and Spirit Artifacts could be converted into Encroaching Points. Actually, it was perfect. Many Spirit Artifacts obtained from the Enlightenment Domain had to be discarded after the domain ended, which was a waste. Now, they could be used to convert into Encroaching Points, making them useful.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng continued to read.
[Value of converting into Encroaching Points:
Five Elements Obsidian → 10 Encroaching Points
Light/Dark Obsidian → 1000 Encroaching Points
N-level Spirit Artifact → 0.1 Encroaching Points
D-class Spirit Artifact → 10 Encroaching Points
C-class Spirit Artifact → 100 Encroaching Points
B-class Spirit Artifact → 1000 Encroaching Points
A-class Spirit Artifact → 10,000 Encroaching Points
S-class Spirit Artifact → 1,000,000 Encroaching Points
]
“Oh my god…” Xia Feng’s eyes widened. This meant that one S-class Spirit Artifact could raise his single attribute to the peak of a Spirit King! Such a thing… Well, alright, such a thing was just a thought. After all, if he could truly obtain an S-class Spirit Artifact, he would be foolish to convert it into Encroaching Points. After conversion, this S-class Spirit Artifact would disappear and could no longer be copied. From this perspective, this ability didn’t seem that great. After all, even A-class Spirit Artifacts were very rare, and he wouldn’t be willing to waste them, let alone S-class ones. Xia Feng frowned.
However, he could use Spirit Artifacts below A-class and Obsidian to accumulate Encroaching Points. For example, Obsidian. One Light/Dark Obsidian was worth 1000 points. What if he had 1000 of them? Wouldn’t that give him 1,000,000 points? Cough, okay, Light-Dark Obsidian was so rare, collecting 1000 of them would be incredibly difficult.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng was startled and looked back at Mu Qingtong. “Miss Mu, how many Life Force Values are needed to wish for Light-Dark Obsidian?”
“1000.”
“…Damn, that’s expensive!” Xia Feng was defeated.
Mu Qingtong shook her head. “It’s just that the current accumulated Life Force Value is relatively low. If a large amount of divine power could be absorbed, 1000 wouldn’t be too expensive.”
Hearing this, Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully. “That’s true, it makes sense.” He suddenly thought of several ways to use the Encroaching Domain, but he would need to test them in actual combat to be sure. It was also a good opportunity to find Che Tai Xian and see how this ability worked. Of course, there was something more important. That was to obtain the Yin-Yang Mirror! However, the powerful effects of the Yin-Yang Mirror required Dual Cultivation. Did this mean he needed… Xia Feng subconsciously looked at the black-dressed woman, blinked, and said, “Uh, Miss Mu, I have a question for you…”
