Chapter 344 - 147: The Chaos Approaches
Celestial Nursery.
Capital City's Imperial Palace, Chronicles of Time, Between the Scales.
"Seven homogenous void bubbles, huh."
The Saint opened his eyes, sitting on the throne, somewhat surprised.
"It must be a special Yin Attribute Divine Technique." The old eunuch replied with a smile, "In this world of tumult, there are always new revolutionary phenomena being born."
Having followed the Saint for many years, he was well-versed and naturally knew that some special Yin Attribute Celestial Spirit Roots could regenerate and restore souls.
The cultivators of this world inherently possess strong souls.
It's likely using similar technology, splitting a complete soul into several parts, then rebirthing them.
Similar to cutting a worm in two, where it then regenerates into two separate entities.
In fact, not only did the old eunuch think so, but other Divine Doctors also considered it a possibility.
Yet, splitting a soul into halves to cultivate it back to completeness is already a daunting task.
Splitting into seven parts, which are tiny, and then cultivating seven complete souls... not to mention dying and leaving behind seven homogenous void bubbles, seems unbelievable.
"Of course, this is merely the old servant's speculation."
"It might not be direct soul splitting, perhaps a technique similar to the No-Life Sect, where the souls of seven infants are inscribed like clovers, layered in the womb, eventually birthing a Soul Fusion Demon Infant... now reversed into splitting."
The old eunuch chuckled and said, "Certainly, it might be other techniques, as each year new innate Divine Techniques from various Celestial Spirit Roots appear, the vast world is certainly full of wonders."
The Saint eyed a nearby mural, seemingly observing the locations of ancient tombs, reminiscing of times past, "The No-Life Sect, huh."
If not for the fact that he could no longer leave the Capital.
Visiting the Xinyi Continent to see these younger generations would certainly be delightful.
Recently, he's been overwhelmingly busy with affairs, requiring extensive preparations and arrangements.
"Three Artifact Spirits?" The Saint pondered for a moment, "Interesting, let me choose a shortlist."
Sun Moon's role is not one an average person can fulfill.
Awakening dreams and obsessions allows observing one's disposition.
Number 1: Dreams of becoming a doctor, saving the world, has a somewhat malevolent personality, enjoys researching peculiar medical practices.
Number 2: Honest, steady, kind, dreams of becoming famous worldwide.
Number 3: Quick-witted, smart, understanding of human nature, has commendable combat power and adaptability, dreams of freedom.
"That shortlist of Artifact Spirits, choose Number 3."
The Saint casually spoke:
"Certainly, once cultivated successfully, first send the Artifact Spirit, without first infusing it with Sun Moon, we need to assess their qualities, character, capability..."
"All these must be adequate to serve as a First Grade official at the Court."
The celestial "Constellation", usually ranging from First to Third Grade, is in charge of regional inspections.
Previously, Jian Xin regularly conducts inspections from the Xinyi Continent Prince's Mansion, elevating the Dharma Aspect to become one of the "Constellations", inspecting Pingchang City and surrounding areas.
While "Sun Moon" leads the "Constellations" of the entire world, naturally holding a First Grade rank.
The Saint himself previously held this position, personally inspecting the Nine-State.
But now...
He decided to relinquish power.
"If the temperament passes, due to the periodic madness defect of the Embers, unable to stably hold the Sun Moon position, overtaken by other Sun Moon teams."
"I too will take her as a disciple, considering a backup Sun Moon."
The Saint's eyes slowly closed, "Seven great Celestial Spirit Roots, who knows what potential these Embers hold..."
"If the temperament doesn't fit, we shall forge another Artifact Spirit."
...
...
Ning Zheng also visited the Nursery's Prince's Mansion once again.
Recently, he's developed a habit, transforming into a Three Flowers form, watching Princess Xin'e bathe in the Ancient Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm...
After all.
Li Youzhu, Jiao Wuyu, and others are striving in that Ancient Secret Realm, he naturally needs to strive as well!
Of course, he can choose times when Princess Xin'e is not present to engage in "photosynthesis" here.
But coming at this time proves more efficient.
Princess Xin'e, while bathing, would always converse about various intriguing stories, and news.
He naturally wouldn't want to miss out.
These days he frequently visits, yet the princess only occasionally talks about "transmigrators", speaking more about various local anecdotes and court secrets.
Less about Jiao Wuyu and the others.
Yet Ning Zheng listened with keen interest, feeling he understands more about this dynastic system.
Living as a carefree flower, listening to the other's woes, sometimes can be quite amusing.
"Three Flowers, perhaps after one more visit, it should be saturated."
After finishing cultivation, Ning Zheng decided to head up the mountain.
He didn't choose to add 20,000 Qi Fortune Value to the Embers shell, entering the tomb map.
Recently, the Embers Su Yuniang have been having a great time in prison.
Because of the permissions Ning Zheng granted, two sisters, engaging in mutual cutting, can integrate the bubbles to control that Manor Master's shell's Three Flowers, randomly growing in the Nursery.
Sometimes it's the Capital City.
Sometimes it's the wilderness.
Sometimes it's outdoors.
Seeking an accidental encounter with No-Life Sect!
"Isn't it great to transform into a stationary Three Flowers, traveling around?" On the prison square, Embers Su Yuniang said.
"That flower garden looks beautiful."
Ning Jiaojiao nodded, "Next time, let's invite my brother to join."
"Yes, let him take a swing, dropping bubbles, joining us." Embers Su Yuniang thought with excitement, "The three of us will randomly tour the Nursery together!"
The entire prison's female inmates cheered along.
Their days have been rather pleasant recently, considering they were formerly suffering members of the Demon Sect.
...
On the mountainside.
Snow covered all the distant mountain ranges, flakes resting upon Ning Zheng's hair.
Ning Zheng eyed the building complex atop the mountain, somehow feeling a sense of security concern.
Recently it's been too reckless!
Constantly feeling like the manor might encounter those forbidden boss instances from the Ancient Secret Realms, emerging from their coffins, coming to ravage the manor.
In gamer terms.
These bosses venturing out day after day, rather than guarding their instances for challengers, is simply neglect of duty!
Perhaps...
Maybe even the Saint will soon perish, becoming the greatest secret realm boss?
Ning Zheng pondered inexplicably, sighing:
"Before, with the loot from the Xinyi Continent City raid, there were some large array plates, just perfect for setting up an array to cover the manor, at least strengthening the aura's concealment."
Moreover.
The blacksmiths are gradually becoming stronger as well.
This manor's Fog Array is not as handy to trap the blacksmiths anymore, upgrading is called for.
Ning Zheng studied the arrangement method, burying array plates throughout the mountainside and bottom regions.
The number of arrays he possesses is quite substantial, from Low Tier to High Tier arrays totaling hundreds, having looted several shops selling array plates, he decided to bury them all at once since keeping them serves no purpose.
Whoosh!
As Ning Zheng was heading up the mountain, he received communication from the Sword Fairy.
Choose Number 3?
Su Yuniang?
Ning Zheng initially thought the choice would be his Immortal Aunt.
After all, healing the world perfectly aligns with Sun Moon's duty.
"But it seems, the Saint has expectations for Sun Moon beyond just adhering to duty, choosing a Su Yuniang who appears more suited to awakening later."
"In this chaotic era, perhaps the Sun Moon indeed requires a touch of ingenuity."
