Once a Spirit Master contracts a cursed relic, the curse within the cursed relic will also be weakened to a certain extent. After all, the purpose of a cursed relic is symbiosis, to grow together with its host, or even for the host to be a servant of the cursed relic itself. Upon death, all of their essence will feed the cursed relic, becoming a part of itself. Therefore, Spirit Masters suffer, they suffer from not being able to achieve eternal life, and they suffer from being entangled by curses.
“Four cursed relics, with the naling pearl as the sovereign, the Silver Light Armor as the minister, the Breaking General Spear as the assistant, and the Soaring Sky Cloak as the envoy.”
Zhuang Buzhou secretly looked at these four cursed relics. The Silver Light Armor, the Breaking General Spear, and the cloak, when combined, were almost a complete set of equipment that could be worn into battle, to kill enemies and achieve victory. And the naling pearl could gather and store Spiritual Qi, so using it as the core should not be wrong.
“Whether it’s right or not, I have to try. First, I need to condense the World Spirit Pool. My current combat power may not be able to handle the bizarre.”
Zhuang Buzhou muttered to himself.
Although the space-time gourd granted him powerful time and space Divine Abilities, the problem was that these Divine Abilities, when used, consumed an extraordinary amount of his Innate True Qi. Once used, if the enemy didn't die, then he himself would definitely be in danger.
The book of contracts only established contracts. If a contract was formed, it would be recognized by Heaven. Those who broke the contract would be punished by Heaven. It had no destructive power.
The wish-fulfilling creation vine only had the Medicine Immortal Gourd, which was for Alchemy and medicinal purposes, merely an auxiliary tool. Using it was also not very reliable.
What he could rely on most now was his own cultivation strength, and even the Divine Abilities of a World Spirit Master. Therefore, condensing the World Spirit Pool was imperative.
No matter what, this was a path he had to take. What kind of World Spirit could be nurtured would entirely depend on fate.
Carrying the four cursed relics, Zhuang Buzhou appeared in the accompanying space derived from the book of contracts the next second. He could see that the entire space was empty, with nothing in it, but he could feel that the Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant.
“Condense the World Spirit Pool, cast the altar.”
“One thousand gold, two thousand silver, three thousand bronze, four thousand black iron.”
The World Spirit Pool required the casting of an altar, and the Materials for the altar were gold, silver, bronze, and black iron. The value of any of them was not low. Don't think black iron is inferior; iron is also precious in the world, and black iron is a High Grade of iron.
With a thought, naturally, a thousand catties of gold, as well as silver, bronze, and black iron blocks, were transferred from the secret vault. They appeared before him at the same time, piled up like a small mountain.
Pfft!!
He took out a dagger and slashed his hand with it, and a stream of fresh blood immediately gushed out.
“Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram, condense!!”
With a thought, streams of fresh blood, as if sentient, quickly moved in the Void Realm before him, outlining profound Texture. In the blink of an eye, a Mysterious and incomparable blood-colored Array Diagram formed. This was precisely the core Legacy obtained from the boundary spirit secret canon—the Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram.
This Array Diagram was the key to condensing the World Spirit Pool.
Under normal circumstances, to draw an Array Diagram, even a Spirit Master would have to expend mental effort, and might not even succeed. This was a step that a World Spirit Master himself had to undertake, requiring his own fresh blood as a guide to draw the Array Diagram. Only a World Spirit Master could form an array with a single thought in the world he had opened up.
Once the Array Diagram was formed, he could immediately feel that the Origin of Heaven and Earth naturally flowed into the Array Diagram from this accompanying space. The entire Array Diagram then began to shine, emitting streaks of dazzling golden light.
It seemed to directly transform into a scroll.
On the Array Diagram, he could clearly see ten dazzling array eyes, each like a golden flame. However, these flames were all empty, as if lacking some fundamental element. One of the array eyes was in the central position, at the core.
The entire Array Diagram was divided into four layers.
The innermost layer, of course, had only one array eye. The second layer had only two array eyes, standing on the left and right. The third layer had three array eyes, standing in a three-talents formation. The fourth layer had four array eyes, using the four symbols as the array Foundation.
The entire Array Diagram was unpredictable, seemingly capable of outlining the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth.
“naling pearl as the sovereign, Edict!!”
A sharp shout rang out.
He saw the naling pearl fly up into the air first, landing in the core array eye of the first layer. Once inside, it merged into the divine flame. With the naling pearl, the entire flame finally seemed to have a Soul.
“Silver Light Armor as the minister!!”
The silver-white armor then flew into the air, landing in an array eye of the second layer, likewise causing the divine flame at the array eye to blaze brightly.
“Breaking General Spear as the assistant!!”
The Flying Spear responded by falling into the third layer, occupying an array eye.
“Soaring Sky Cloak as the envoy!!”
The green cloak then fell into the outermost array eye of the fourth layer.
Immediately, the entire Array Diagram surged with divine light, and endless Heaven and Earth principles intertwined and transformed.
“Ah, no, I don’t want to die.”
“Kill, kill the general, slaughter a thousand armies, kill!”
“Fly, I want to fly into the sky. Why can only birds fly? I want to fly too.”
In the Array Diagram, as it operated, sudden desperate and unwilling shouts could be heard emanating from within.
“These are the cursed obsessions from within the cursed relics. Unfortunately, World Spirit Masters are among the few professions capable of completely suppressing and killing the bizarre. This Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram, with the World Spirit Master’s fresh blood as a guide, with the world’s Origin as its Foundation, and undergoing the baptism of the world’s Origin, ultimately cannot be escaped.”
With a thought, he saw the gold, silver, bronze, and iron blocks that had been taken out earlier all fly into the air, quickly falling into the Array Diagram. Once they entered the Array Diagram’s range, they were immediately swallowed by the golden divine flame, melting into liquid in the blink of an eye. The black iron blocks melted into iron liquid, which flowed and covered the outermost layer of the Array Diagram. The bronze melted into the third layer, the silver melted and merged into the second layer of the Array Diagram, and finally, the gold merged into the innermost layer.
During the complete melting process, countless profound Dao rhythms continuously emanated from the Array Diagram.
There was the sharp Evil Qi of iron and blood, the keenness of weapons, the lightness like wind, and a heavy, mountain-like quality. These qualities, at this moment, seemed to completely Fusion with the Array Diagram, transforming into profound runes. Many of these runes were broken.
This was to draw out the Origin of the cursed relics using the Array Diagram, fusing them all into one.
They were originally four different cursed relics, each with different power characteristics. This collision naturally produced a fierce reaction. Complete runes would shatter, then merge with more fragments, evolving into completely new runic Dao patterns. With the presence of special substances like gold, silver, bronze, and black iron, which had a suppressive effect on cursed relics, no matter how they collided, the Array Diagram always remained stable and unshaken.
It was unshakeable.
And just as the Array Diagram was operating and refining, in the Void Realm, the book of contracts appeared out of thin air, dropping a golden contract paper into the Array Diagram.
Subsequently, the divine light greatly intensified. Finally, the four cursed relics were completely fused together.
Before him, he could clearly see that an altar had completely taken shape.
This altar had only one layer. Its entire body was the color of black iron. On the altar, a large pool appeared, and in the center of the large pool, a statue stood erect. This statue showed a figure wearing battle armor, with a spear quiver on his back. The quiver contained Flying Spears, a cloak fluttering on his body, and in his hand, he held a Flying Spear. On the Flying Spear, a dazzling lightning bolt seemed to be leaping, and his eyes looked forward, sharp and firm.
It gave one the feeling that he could be pierced by a Flying Spear at any moment.
“The World Spirit Pool is complete.”
Zhuang Buzhou looked at the altar before him, and the pool on the altar, his heart filled with excitement.
The World Spirit Pool, this was the World Spirit Pool.
He could clearly see the Mysterious patterns engraved and outlined within the World Spirit Pool.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Within the World Spirit Pool, a layer of dark liquid clearly emerged. This layer of liquid gave off a sticky and spiritual aura.
“This is World Spirit Water, the Origin substance necessary for nurturing World Spirits.”
Zhuang Buzhou looked at the liquid in the World Spirit Pool, understanding in his heart that these were not ordinary pool water, but rather transformed Origin power derived from the world's Origin. After Heaven and Earth were born and began to operate, Origin power would naturally be derived. Origin power was generally only used to maintain the operation of the world itself. Over time, it would continuously increase, and with it, the world would expand and grow larger.
Every bit consumed was a burden on the world.
Therefore, World Spirit Water was incredibly precious.
Of course, there were other shortcuts to replenish World Spirit Water, it was not impossible.
For example, the bizarre.
The World Spirit Pool could refine the bizarre, convert it into Origin, increase World Spirit Water, and nurture World Spirits.
“Flying Spear Soldier!!”
The moment he saw the World Spirit Pool, a message was already transmitted from within it, entering his mind.
World Spirit Pool
Grade: Yellow Rank
Dao Soldier: Flying Spear Soldier
Quantity: Zero
Flying Spear Soldier
Dao Soldier Grade: First Rank
Contained Characteristics: Endless, Flashing
Derived Divine Abilities: Armor Break, Gale, Heavenly Thunder.
After completely understanding and absorbing the information in his mind, Zhuang Buzhou couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
“Good Dao Soldier, indeed a good Dao Soldier. My luck is good, I got a humanoid Dao Soldier. It possesses two characteristics and derives three Divine Abilities. Although it's still First Rank, it has combat power comparable to Second Rank. If used well, it can even kill those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
A First Rank Dao Soldier is in the Innate Realm, and a Second Rank is in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Each rank can bring about a huge improvement. But this is closely related to the World Spirit Pool.
For example, a Yellow Rank World Spirit Pool can only allow the nurtured Dao Soldiers to advance to Second Rank at most, which is already the peak.
Once it is upgraded to Profound Rank, it can be upgraded to Fourth Rank at most.
Earth Rank can be upgraded to Sixth Rank at most.
If one can have a Heaven Rank World Spirit Pool, then it can be upgraded to Eighth Rank Dao Soldiers.
Eighth Rank Dao Soldiers already possess the mighty power to destroy Heaven and Earth.
