Chapter 886: Wielding the Law of Sumeru, Seizing the Creation of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 887: A Match Made in Heaven
At the center of the Heavenly Realm, a dazzling Great Sun ascended, positioned at the highest heaven. An esoteric throne constructed from divine flames was suspended directly in front of the Great Sun. Xia Feng’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and with a flash, he appeared before the throne.
He patted his robe and slowly took a seat. The dazzling Great Sun behind him immediately contracted, forming a radiant golden halo behind the divine seat. Wisps of divine light shone down, lending him an air of majestic divinity. The black-robed figure’s gaze swept over the land of the Nine Regions, truly appearing as a supreme existence governing all things, eternally residing in this Heavenly Realm, observing the mortal world.
[Sumeru Gate Imprint: 2]
[Sumeru Legacy: After your demise, the Sumeru Throne will automatically release legacy slots into the Real World, initiating a new round of selection for the Nine Seats and the Sumeru War.]
[The following are the current legacy rules—]
[You can customize the legacy rules!]
[Remaining items in the Sumeru War shop pool—]
The Sumeru War had concluded, so the item cards were naturally useless. However, there were still two Calamity Mist Cards in the pool! With a thought, Xia Feng summoned them, and purple cards appeared.
[Calamity Mist Card *2: Forged by the Heavenly God Gu Yi using a high-grade Calamity Spirit Pearl, forming an item card usable in the Sumeru War.]
Xia Feng crushed them. A chilling sensation flowed into his heart, and a wonderful feeling surged through his mind.
[Calamity Demon Heart repair progress—]
[(+1.08 + 1.08) 36.48%]
The backlash from the two dragon tribulation fires accompanying the Tail Nature Tribulation Fire had forced him to consume some of his immortality. Now, the replenishment from the two Calamity Mist Cards had directly restored what was lost. He had even gained a little. He was one small step closer to the 40% mark, with only a little over three percent left. He was almost there!
As he contemplated, divine and profound golden-patterned arrows spontaneously formed in Xia Feng’s palm, rotating rapidly and releasing surges of divine light and energy waves that purified the surroundings. “So this is the Descending God Arrow…” Xia Feng’s lips curved. After enduring hardships, he had finally obtained this ability. It could temporarily seal the target’s divinity, reducing their Authority Conversion. This was a perfect match for his Copy Spirit Artifact! Perfect!
With this, he could go trouble the Black Moon Pope. Xia Feng sensed the location of the ‘Tribulation Mark’ and found the Black Moon Pope in Area 15. It was a shame that after the Sumeru War, he couldn’t keep the seven Sacred Realm experts within the Nine Pillars Space. Otherwise, he could have rounded them all up at once.
[Heavenly Realm: According to the laws of the Sumeru Realm, the special domain created by Gu Yi can continuously condense a special gas—Spirit Energy—which is very similar to the Spirit Particle structure of the human body. This greatly amplifies the Spirit Master’s comprehension tenfold, or even a hundredfold.]
[Note 1: Spirit Energy can only exist in the Heavenly Realm; it dissipates automatically upon leaving.]
[Note 2: The total amount of Spirit Energy in the Heavenly Realm has a limit. Once it reaches the limit, Spirit Energy will no longer condense automatically.]
[Note 3: The speed of automatic Spirit Energy condensation depends on the conceptual level of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm.]
[Note 4]
Xia Feng rubbed his chin, organizing the information about the Heavenly Realm’s Spirit Energy in his mind, and fell into contemplation. The environment of the Heavenly Realm was simply extraordinary, akin to the supreme heavenly realm in a multi-layered, nested immortal cultivation worldview. Even an ordinary person with absolutely no talent, if trained in this Heavenly Realm, could likely become a First-stage Spirit Master in a very short time.
Currently, in this empire, if an ordinary person embarked on the path of transcendence and wished to become a Spirit Master, their lifelong limit was only the Third-stage. Those with slightly better Cultivation Talent, given abundant Spirit material resources, might enter the super-tier domain. Fourth-stage and Fifth-stage were collectively known as super-tiers. The Fifth-stage was further subdivided into Common Fifth-stage, True Martial First-stage, and True Martial Second-stage, based on the number of A-class Spirit Robes learned.
Whether they came from Weiyang Academy or were highly regarded talents from various levels of the empire’s families and major forces, their ceiling was actually only Common Fifth-stage. Only power factions, legions, and the Holy See had the ability to elevate the potential of some talented young individuals to the True Martial level. But this was an advantage for the elite few. For power factions and legions, reaching True Martial was not difficult; the Venerable realm was the dividing line between geniuses and mediocrities. However, for the 99.999% of the empire’s population below power factions and legions, True Martial was the dividing line between geniuses and mediocrities. After all, they lacked Spirit material resources, elite education from birth, guidance on complex Spirit Robe structures, and corresponding A-class legacies.
Thus, being able to learn one A-class Spirit Robe and become a True Martial First-stage was already a great fortune, and learning two to become True Martial Second-stage would mean a life without regret. As for the Venerable realm? That was a domain true Big figures would aspire to reach. Venerables were divided into Venerable First to Fifth Realms based on the number of Dao Fruits formed. The Fifth Realm was also known as the Sacred Realm. Major power factions would produce a few Super geniuses in each era; these Super geniuses were qualified to easily reach the Sacred Realm and even touch upon the realm beyond it, becoming Sages. Sages were divided into Dark Controller Sages and Light Holder Sages, and this stage was akin to stepping onto the path of godhood! Even most Super geniuses of various eras stopped at the Dark Controller stage, unable to progress further.
Xia Feng estimated that with the help of the Heavenly Realm’s Spirit Energy, raising the threshold between geniuses and mediocrities by one level would not be a problem. It would be equivalent to directly elevating an ordinary person’s comprehension to that of a genius! And elevating genius-level comprehension to that of a Super genius! Well, Super genius might be an exaggeration, but with the help of Spirit Energy, they would definitely possess a level close to that of a Super genius! With this, the Venerable realm would no longer be a dream for ordinary people!
Of course… Xia Feng was not a benevolent god like Gu Yi, who cared for the Human Race. He did not harbor the grand ambition of sharing the Heavenly Realm so that everyone in the empire could cultivate. Furthermore, the Heavenly Realm’s Spirit Energy was limited, and the idea of everyone being able to cultivate was still somewhat fantastical. If handled poorly, it could even be counterproductive. Xia Feng’s current idea was at most to use Spirit Energy to help a few trusted individuals accelerate their cultivation progress.
In addition, now that he possessed a certain strength, it was time to develop his own forces. Miss Mu already had a consolidated demon army, and the Peach Organization had always been under Miss Mu’s control. He, the Spade Person, was merely the nominal leader, a commander without troops. He didn’t even know what kind of development the Peach Organization had undergone. Wait, he still had Cha Nai Xue. Cha Nai Xue had the ability, but she was only one person. His forces were isolated and weak.
Fortunately, with the Spirit Energy and Ms. Crow’s Spirit Artifact Space, he now possessed the powerful capital to rapidly expand his influence. Given the current situation in the empire, with the Sumeru Throne, Fourth Divine Treasury, Saint’s remains, and other divine objects appearing one after another, and with Shang Jue and Huang Ye, two of the Four Pillars of the Empire, clearly preparing for major moves in secret, all parties were in motion. Coupled with the awakening of the Heavenly Martial Empress, the Witch stirring up trouble in the Gray Realm, and the emergence of the Abyssal Saint… perhaps before the Apocalypse Descends, the empire would descend into chaos internally. A second Imperial Civil War was not far off. In the midst of a great war, one person could only do so much. With a team behind him, supported by a legion that could form a world-destroying torrent, perhaps more could be accomplished.
