I had some guesses about World Spirit Masters before, but only when I witnessed it with my own eyes did I realize that this World Spirit Master was truly difficult to evaluate, because the Legacy of a World Spirit Master consists of these two methods: one is the Inner World Creation Method, and the other is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram. After that, there was nothing else.
To condense a World Spirit Pool, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram is required. Using it as the formation, and then placing a cursed relic to condense the characteristics within the cursed relic, it ultimately evolves into a World Spirit Pool. The type of World Spirit Pool is directly related to the cursed relic placed. Attributes, characteristics, and so on, are all closely related.
In other words, you can freely choose a cursed relic to forge your own unique World Spirit Pool.
But whether it can succeed, whether it can forge a powerful World Spirit Pool, a World Spirit Pool with infinite potential, that depends on one's own luck and discernment.
"The condensation of a World Spirit Pool needs to follow the four major elements: Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy. Generally speaking, a World Spirit Pool is composed of at least four cursed relics. If more and higher-level compatible items can be found, the greater the potential of the condensed World Spirit Pool. If a complete Cursed Puzzle can be formed, it will be even more perfect."
According to what is stated in this boundary spirit secret canon, any World Spirit Pool is a Cursed Puzzle, differing only in whether it is complete or incomplete, perfect or imperfect.
But at least there must be one as Monarch, one as Minister, one as Assistant, and one as Envoy.
This is just the most basic Cursed Puzzle.
To be more perfect, other cursed relics need to be added. But the Monarch is always only one, always unique.
The most perfect model is one Monarch, two Ministers, three Assistants, and four Envoys. A World Spirit Pool composed of a total of ten cursed relics is flawless.
Therefore, all along, among World Spirit Masters, a World Spirit Pool composed of four cursed relics is called the Basic Model, a First-Order World Spirit Pool. Then, adding one of the Minister, Assistant, or Envoy makes it Second-Order; adding two makes it Third-Order; and adding three makes it Fourth-Order.
The Basic Model is also known as Yellow Rank, followed by Profound Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank.
A Heaven Rank World Spirit Pool has infinite potential.
“Interesting, truly interesting. In this world, there are no two identical World Spirit Pools, no two completely identical Dao Soldiers. There are no completely identical cursed relics. The Cursed Models formed by combining them are also different. Therefore, the future of this World Spirit Master is Mysterious and unknown, unfathomable. It is truly a blank canvas, allowing for ink to be splashed freely. However, this makes it even more interesting.”
Zhuang Buzhou closed the Secret Canon, a strong look of interest appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Of course, World Spirit Masters also have many special aspects. For example, if the Inner World that has been opened leans towards a certain attribute, then one should try to choose the same attribute to forge the World Spirit Pool. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive and difficult to achieve anything.
“It seems that collecting cursed relics has become the most urgent matter. My cultivation is only at the Innate Realm, but if I can forge a World Spirit Pool and cultivate powerful Dao Soldiers to become World Spirits, I will be able to possess combat power beyond my own.”
Zhuang Buzhou pondered to himself.
The next second, an invisible force appeared around him, and his vision shifted. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing outside the Exquisite Skill Tower, still facing the bronze door.
“Mr. Zhuang, have you come out of the Exquisite Skill Tower? How is it? Have you chosen the professional Legacy you want?”
Just then, a voice sounded from behind him.
Turning his head, he could clearly see that the person walking towards him was none other than Zhang Jinbao. However, at this moment, Zhang Jinbao looked a bit miserable. His entire body was covered in blood, and his right hand was somehow severed. He was also carrying a bundle on his back, with something inside still dripping blood.
“Young Master Zhang, what happened to you again? How did your hand get cut off?”
Witnessing this, Zhuang Buzhou couldn't help but ask with a slight surprise.
This guy is a ruthless person, a ruthless person who dares to lay hands on his own treasures, but what's with this arm?
“It’s nothing. I went to the Treasure Tower earlier and chose a cursed relic. I was lucky enough to successfully contract it and become a Spirit Master. However, I don’t have a Legacy, so I just went to the casino, hoping to get another Fate Tablet to come to the Exquisite Skill Tower and acquire a professional Legacy.”
Zhang Jinbao said with a grin.
However, a twitch was clearly visible at the corner of his mouth; it hurt below, and it hurt above too.
He was afraid of death, terribly afraid of death. Facing death, he would rather endure pain, at least there was still a way to remedy it.
“Hmm, since Young Master Zhang has such determination, then I wish you success in acquiring a satisfactory professional Legacy.” Zhuang Buzhou nodded slightly, glanced at the bundle on his back, and said, “Hurry up and let a doctor stitch it up, it might still be useful.”
“Mmm!!”
Zhang Jinbao nodded in agreement, saying, “I think so too, but if possible, I’d still like to do it myself.”
“Then I wish you success.”
Zhuang Buzhou said, gaining a slight understanding upon hearing this.
White Fate Tablet.
As he turned to leave, the corner of his eye caught Zhang Jinbao taking out a white Fate Tablet and stepping into the Exquisite Skill Tower.
“Fate is like a long river, not a single bit is up to man.”
Zhuang Buzhou sighed inwardly.
His steps led him towards the Treasure Tower.
Before long, he arrived in front of the Treasure Tower.
Upon approaching, even without entering, he could still feel the rich treasure Qi emanating from within the Treasure Tower. At this moment, there were still many people lingering inside the tower, clearly also searching for desired treasures.
In front of the door, a stone statue stood majestically—it was a Xiao Piqiu.
“I wonder if there are any treasures suitable for me in this Treasure Tower. All these Fate Tablets, no matter what, must be used up.”
Zhuang Buzhou steadied his mind and strode into the Treasure Tower.
Inside the Treasure Tower, there were no maidservants or even reception staff. There were only rows of shelves displaying treasures. Each shelf was directly crafted from gold, silver, and bronze. They looked dazzlingly golden and shimmering with silver light, with treasure Qi that was blinding.
bronze shelves, silver shelves, and gold shelves—the value of the items placed on each shelf was different. Notices were engraved on each shelf.
bronze Shelf: One black Fate Tablet can be exchanged for one treasure.
Silver Shelf: One white Fate Tablet can be exchanged for one treasure.
Gold Shelf: One red Fate Tablet can be exchanged for one treasure.
Take the treasure, leave the Fate Tablet.
Otherwise, unauthorized movers shall be annihilated.
“One black, one white, two red. No matter what, I must have a good harvest in this Treasure Tower. The cursed relics that a World Spirit Master needs to consume, as described in the Secret Canon, are simply too many. Combining them to form puzzles and completing the structural model all require careful deliberation. Let’s see if this time, the Treasure Tower can give me an unexpected surprise.”
Zhuang Buzhou couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
The treasures inside the Treasure Tower were truly dazzling at a glance.
It truly lived up to its name as a treasure-hoarding tower.
“Let’s first see what’s on the gold shelves.”
Zhuang Buzhou immediately walked towards the rows of gold shelves. These shelves were the fewest in number and very sparse, clearly indicating that the quantity would not be too large. After walking over, he looked up at the shelves and could clearly see that there was truly everything.
Compasses, mirrors, coffins, various accessories—anything could be seen. It could be said to be a dazzling array, with each item distinctly different. At a glance, it was like seeing a hodgepodge, yet it didn't appear chaotic; instead, there was a strange sense of harmony.
“finger of gold.”
His eyes fell on a finger bone.
The finger bone was entirely golden yellow, giving one the feeling of being cast from gold.
To the side, there was its introduction.
finger of gold
Rank: Profound Rank Six
Inherent Characteristic: Immortality
Derived Divine Abilities: Midas Touch, Finger into Steel.
The characteristics and derived Divine Abilities of the finger of gold were clearly marked.
“Amazing.”
Upon seeing it, Zhuang Buzhou couldn't help but praise it inwardly, feeling very emotional. If this finger of gold were to fall into the outside world, it would definitely make countless common people flock to it, going mad for it. How many people live their lives striving for money, busy their entire lives, even until death, unable to obtain the wealth they dream of?
If one possessed this finger of gold, one could instantly gain the ability of Midas Touch, especially its characteristic of Immortality. This meant that the gold produced could remain immortal, indistinguishable from real gold, and would not revert to stone as time passed. Midas Touch, that is truly gold. It possesses all the characteristics of gold. Just this point alone, owning it, being as rich as a nation, is no longer a dream.
Instead, it is readily attainable if one wishes.
After advancing to Profound Rank, it possesses two Divine Abilities. The second, Finger into Steel, can easily turn the earth as hard as steel. If used well, its power is not small at all.
In Zhuang Buzhou’s mind, the first thought was what he could do if he obtained it. How to use it to maximize its value.
cursed relics are the most Mysterious and also the most terrifying.
“I just don’t know what the curse of this finger of gold is.”
After observing it again, Zhuang Buzhou found that there was truly nothing written about the curse on it.
Any cursed relic must have a curse; this is inescapable. If it's not written, one cannot estimate the price that will be paid for acquiring it. If the curse is very terrifying, then the fortune or misfortune is unpredictable.
Without knowing what the curse was, Zhuang Buzhou did not dare to make a choice easily.
He then looked at other treasures.
Here, there were not only cursed relics but also other treasures.
For example, he then saw a human-shaped ginseng.
Thousand-Year ginseng
Age: Three Thousand Years
Can be used for Alchemy, can be made into medicine, can strengthen Qi and blood, and enhance cultivation and magical power. Possesses active vitality, can continue to be planted and grown.
This was a Spirit Medicine, and a three-thousand-year-old ginseng with vitality. Planted in suitable Spirit Land, it could still continue to grow and reproduce.
Placed here, it was quite precious, and for those who needed it, it was undoubtedly a very joyful thing.
There were also various Heaven And Earth Treasures, of extremely high rank and considerable value.
He could even see the Huangquan Black Soul Sand from the Huangquan River, and the Star Gold rumored to be conceived within the stars.
