Chapter 1027: When Paths Cross
The greatest difference between immortal objects and semi-immortal ones was that an immortal object could give birth to a spirit, take on human form, and choose its own master.
However, not every immortal object could take on a human form. This spiritual awareness differed from merely being a spiritual object because immortal objects could also be manifested in dream realms and retain their full power. Ordinary spiritual objects that were manifested in dream realms did not possess an essence, so they did not have any power. It was the difference between reality and illusion.
The same limitation applied to firearms. They might destroy cities, yet they could not shatter a dream realm. In this regard, the divine kingdoms and the Banished Immortal’s Joyous Cloud Shield shared a similar principle.
It was often said that Martial Arts Practitioners could defeat a Diviner until they reached the Longevity stage. However, in a dream realm, a Martial Arts Practitioner was inferior even to a Qi Refiner. They were easily defeated by Diviners.
Qi Xuansu was not just a Martial Arts Practitioner. He was a Rogue Cultivator and a manmade Banished Immortal. Thus, his being a jack of all trades became an advantage in this situation.
A semi-immortal object still had an essence, but it was just far weaker and incapable of birthing a true being.
The Pure Bodhi was a semi-immortal blade attuned to the mind. Thus, with a mere gesture, Qi Xuansu manifested it into his hand.
Wu Guangbi looked toward him with a faint smile. “Second Deputy Qi, why would you draw your blade?”
Qi Xuansu replied calmly, “Grand Leader Wu, I think you know the answer to that.”
Though Qi Xuansu was now a Daoist official, he was once a Jianghu wanderer and was all too familiar with crossing paths with an enemy.
In this realm where there were no witnesses, it was clear what would come next.
The good news was that Wu Guangbi was not a Shaman, so his power was greatly limited within a divine kingdom.
