Chapter 870: Divine Consciousness Returns
After more than a year of nurturing the Asura Sword, and due to her deep connection with it from her previous life, Mei Gongzi was becoming increasingly attuned to this transcendent divine weapon. Back in the day, she was barely able to unleash one single strike using the seed of sword intent, and that was only with Tang San’s help. Now, she could wield it freely, all by herself.
The continuous nurturing, coupled with her growing strength, made Mei Gongzi feel the Asura Sword drawing ever closer to her. She could sense its true form with increasing clarity.
According to Tang San’s plan, when she ascended to Emperorhood, the Asura Sword would arrive. And with it looming nearby, she would instantly become one of the strongest Emperors, if not even the strongest, and that would truly allow her to command the attention of the Ancestral Court.
Through cultivation, Mei Gongzi had integrated the Asura Sword’s judgment sword intent into her control over spatial power, and she discovered that manipulating space became much easier this way. Space energy was extremely active and very powerful, and it required a high level of divine consciousness to control. This was the case even though the space element greatly favored her due to her bloodline.
However, once the judgment sword intent came into play, everything changed drastically. For one, the sword intent caused a profound transformation in Mei Gongzi’s entire being; it made her sharper, more resolute, and stronger overall. At the same time, its cutting power stabilized the spatial rifts she opened, making it much easier for her to absorb space energy. And the more energy she absorbed, the stronger her ability to manipulate space—in effect, a positive reinforcement cycle.
The more she attuned herself to this divine weapon, the more she realized how immense the benefits were. With each day that passed, she could feel her strength steadily increasing.
A soft glow appeared in Mei Gongzi’s secluded chamber, and from it, a faint, ethereal figure emerged.
When the figure appeared, Mei Gongzi didn’t react at all; not even her divine consciousness sensed it. It was the slight flicker of red light on her forehead that emitted a sense of closeness toward the ethereal figure, which finally startled Mei Gongzi out of her cultivation.
The surrounding spatial rifts instantly aligned in neat order, forming silver halos around her, as if connecting different spaces. At the same time, Mei Gongzi’s eyes snapped open.
