Arc 1-chapter 18
Entering the vault , Xiao Tian's eyes scanned the room while Meirong flew inside.
Tian found lot of gold and gems which surprised him since Gems are supposed to be rare. Gems have ability to store soul force which is a known fact in ancient times but now no one in Glory city knows about it.
Then , he found some weapons , armours , various artifacts and a rock.
Tian Don't know why but he felt attracted to the rock , his soul in his soul realm felt hunger looking at the rock .
Going there , he picked it up . To see what happens , he opened it with raw strength since he didn't feel any life inside of it ,it couldn't be an egg .
Cracking it open , he saw a shining ball of light and felt Tremondous amounts of unknown energy which could be either heavenly energy or Divine energy.
He don't know what to make of it but such Tremondous amount of energy will be more harmful for him rather than helping him. Even though his soul is begging, his Instincts as half-divine being are telling him to be careful. Beasts are superior to humans when it comes to Instincts so, he sealed it and stored it in storage ring.
Then , he saw a lamp. That contains Shadow devil , although it is useless to him. Shadow devil's holds Tremondous potential as Assasins .
As he continued his search , he came across another Intresting object , the Nightmare demon pot. This is one of the artifacts left behind in this world , this is one of the purpose of Divine continent existence , to hide this artifact. He immediately stored it.This is completely useless to him but this contains a pathway to Nightmare realm , a secret which only he knows , he can also syphon heavenly energy from that realm through this pot. So , in a way , he don't want to loose a gateway to another world.
Xiao Tian: Damn, this trip is so much worth it.
Storing all the gold and armada of weapons. Xiao Tian saw a book . picking it up, he scanned everything in it . It contains information about ancient arrays and Black smithing Techniques, there's even a Technique where he can contain souls in weapons. As he possesses Enhanced crafting, he was impressed by the technique since his Instincts are telling him that the Technique looks highly plausible and precious.
Going inside , another compartment appeared , Xiao Tian saw Meirong holding a book , probably a family register. Giving her some space , he saw a vault , the same thing happened like previous time he was attracted to it but this time , he also felt the need to 'merge' instead of need to devour. His Enhanced crafting making him Instinctively think of multiple ways to merge which wierded him out .
Opening the locker was easy with his brute Strength. Inside , he saw another small box.
Now this surprised him , an extremely high level array is placed on the box. It's level is so high that you need a blood of atleast a Dao of Dragon level demon beasts blood.
This reminded him of the book of high level arrays and Black smithing he found back in the first vault. It seems , someone created this safe and they have connections with atleast middle level world to have such high level knowledge and blood.
Generally, it would have been impossible to open for him now but
.
.
.
.
Mystic eyes of death Perception are overpowered for a reason. He activated his Mystic eyes and saw lines flow through the box , 'killing' the array.
The box opened itself and he saw 4 broken pieces of a sword ? because there is a diagram of the sword in the box.
His eyes immediately went to the two small notes in the corner with numbers one and two on it. Xiao Tian read one
/To whoever that managed to open this safe,
Now you have two options infront of you. One , keep the contents in this safe locked up in somewhere no can ever approach it.
I'm saying this for your own good , or you'll regret ever opening this safe. I'm warning you , this contents are something not even prodigies or so called heaven's children can possess. This would make you hunted where death is not even the mercy and you'll face Eternal damnation unless you are a God.
However, if you decided to choose the other option to take it . Then , please read the second note/
Again, something omnious ... however, Xiao Tian decided to go for option two. If the contents are so valuable then, it must be something out of this world.
He picked up the second letter.
/ Very well ,
This is your chance to live then. This is the most important treasure , the sole purpose divine continent exists.
These are the rest of the shards of 'Myriad Ancestor sword'. Originally , there are 11 pieces of Myriad ancestors sword . However to hide it forever from the menace called Sage Emperor. It is revealed that it is divided into 7 pieces.
Now , you hold the rest of the 4 pieces. There's no going back . The array you solved is a test , you are worthy . These pieces will be forged into your bones , granting you 'Myriad God bone physique' , making you invulnerable to any kind of decapitations, severing or direct soul attacks , all physical attacks will deal only half the damage from the moment you merge all four of them.
This will make sage Emperor your fated enemy and you will gain strength strong enough to kill him.
You can forge the rest of the seven pieces into your bone frame with this refinement Technique you'll receive. If you merge with all of the fragments, you'll be immune to all physical damage .
However, heed my warning. Once your soul connects to the shards , they'll become one with your soul and can never be seperated . Sage Emperor will cage you and use every method in existence to seperate them , you cannot even die under his eyes /
A white light shot from the letter into Xiao Tian's mind.
[ Hidden quest : Find the God slayer level artifact .
Rewards: ?????X5 , Absolute affinity with heaven and earth ]
[Would you like to learn ' Myriad bone Refinement Technique ' ?]
Both letters dissolved into thin air , while the the four shards flew into Xiao Tian's soul realm and swallowed by the quetzalcoatl . Meanwhile , he is in shock about what he just happened.
He knows who Sage emporer , he is like Pablo Escobar of Cultivation world except he has no daughter here . He's not classic antagonist that lets the protagonist grows and waits. The moment anyone levels up to incredible levels , he'll know it with his Clairvoyance , he immediately sabotages them with his servants and kills them.
This divine continent is present because others wanted to hide OP treasures from that guy. The myriad ancestor sword is OP sword , a God-slayer . There's only one God slayer in this multiverse . He knows about it since it is from like millions years ago. It is written down in history which he new well .
Xiao Tian don't know how to feel now , his soul is already connected to all the shards , he can only refine it and upgrade himself .
No one can truly escape fate unless one reaches divinity. Sure , they became aware of fate and Destiny as they Cultivate Heavenly energy but they can't do jacks*it about it even if you don't like it .
Its like being a movie actor , even if you don't want certain things to happen to some characters due to knowing plot, you can't do anything about it but to follow the plot . The script is already written, now all you do is follow it whether you like it or hate it.
However, those with Divinity can control fate and Destiny of their existence.
Xiao Tian:' Hah~ ,I am really glad I chose wonderful cheats like mystic eyes and Autonomous safety. This trip now created an antagonist in my life, I'm screwed . Well, atleast if I win , I will gain some abilities since sage Emperor can be considered an spiritual being. Let's see which wins , a demon beast or a divine beast . The best course of action is to lay low and Cultivate till I reach max level ... atleast I hope so, If some dumb Cultivation protagonist appeared in my world or when I reached higher level world , I can kiss goodbye to peaceful level up'
