Chapter 60: Divine Artifact: The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl
"Haha, I don't mind if you call me uncle now!" Qi Tian said.
At this moment, Qi Tian suddenly remembered the inner demons that Qian Renxue encountered during the divine test, and he couldn't help but remind her.
"Don't suppress your inner feelings. Do what you want to do, be open-minded, face yourself honestly, and don't let inner demons linger!"
She was originally unable to face her failures and inner feelings because of her arrogance, which almost caused her to fail the divine test.
"Does having a clear mind mean you can do whatever you want?" Qian Renxue asked thoughtfully.
"I understand, I'll be more careful in the future!" Qian Renxue said.
The following day, Qi Tian transformed back into Xue Qinghe, beginning another dull and monotonous day.
In the morning, he went to the academy to attend classes and practice his skills. During breaks, he chatted with Dugu Yan.
In the afternoon, he would either study and handle some government affairs or go to the palace to play with his three-year-old sister, Xue Ke.
He would spend his evenings cultivating in the Crown Prince's residence.
After a tedious day, Qi Tian's soul finally returned to his body.
A dozen miles away from the Blue Silver Forest, in a seemingly ordinary forest.
This forest looks no different from an ordinary forest, but it is actually a small-scale forest of spirit beasts.
There are many spirit beasts inside, all of whom are good at disguising themselves and harboring murderous intentions.
The root of all this is that the king of the forest is good at disguise, causing the plant spirit beasts in the forest to evolve in this direction as well.
In the center of the forest, in a wooden cabin, Qi Tian opened his eyes.
Crack!
Qi Tian stretched and walked out of the wooden house.
Some Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts around the wooden house gently swayed their branches, as if saying, "Greetings, General Qi! Greetings, Your Majesty!"
These Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts were just ordinary Blue Silver Grass a little over a year ago.
However, under the influence of the Qi Tian Blue Silver King's spirit aura, it evolved into the Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast.
Moreover, thanks to the existence of the small ice and fire Yin-Yang eye within Qi Tian's body, the soul beasts surrounding this wooden house have all reached a cultivation level of several decades.
Plants further away didn't receive such good treatment, but many of them evolved into spirit beasts.
Qi Tian now understood the benefits that the Blue Silver King had mentioned.
As the king of these plant-like spirit beasts, he can use the Blue Silver Domain to draw upon their life force to nourish himself.
This effect is something that only comes after the Blue Silver Domain has evolved, but Qi Tian can already do it now.
Moreover, he can mobilize the plant spirit beasts here to fight against enemies, so it can be said that this forest is his home ground.
"I wonder what kind of amazing artifact the system reward is!"
With a thought, Qi Tian retrieved the mission reward from the system.
A bead the size of a child's fist suddenly appeared in Qi Tian's hand. The bead was entirely azure blue and emitted a brilliant light.
"Huh, you can lift it? What kind of magical artifact is this?" Qi Tian asked in confusion.
I don't have any affinity with the divine position right now, so how could I possibly pick up the divine artifact so easily?
"Did I not complete the mission well? The reward is the worst artifact?"
Qi Tian tried to channel a wisp of soul power into the azure bead.
In an instant, the bead emitted a five-colored light, so bright that even Qi Tian could not see its shape clearly.
The weight of the bead suddenly increased, and Qi Tian, who cultivated his physical spirit and possessed the physique of a true dragon, was actually dragged off balance by it.
"So heavy!" Qi Tian was shocked and immediately stopped inputting soul power.
After the input of soul power ceased, the bead's radiant light completely subsided, transforming it into an ordinary blue bead.
Its weight has also returned to that of a normal bead.
"This is good stuff!"
Qi Tian's eyes lit up. Just the fact that it could obscure the five senses and change weight was enough to prove its value.
After Qi Tian inputted his soul power, it also provided him with some information and a refining technique.
"This divine artifact is actually called the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!"
"Upon reaching the minor stage of refinement, one's five senses are obscured, granting the power of the four seas; upon reaching the deepest stage of refinement, one evolves into the heavens, possessing the power of a realm!"
This description of the divine artifact reminded Qi Tian of the Twenty-Four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, a magical treasure of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Zhao Gongming in the Investiture of the Gods.
These two magical artifacts and treasures might be classified into the same category.
Even if it is only refined to a minor level, its power is equivalent to the impact of the four seas and can surpass the golden trident of the sea god.
Developing this bead to its deepest potential is equivalent to the impact of a planet, possessing the power to destroy stars, comparable to the supreme artifact of a supreme god-king.
"Okay, okay!"
Qi Tian immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and, following the refining incantation given by the bead, eagerly began to refine it.
After a while, Qi Tian had initially refined the bead and absorbed it into his body.
"Phew, although I can't unleash the full power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl yet, using it for cultivation isn't bad!"
Qi Tian discovered that as long as he input a little soul power, it would immediately become extremely heavy.
Using this characteristic, Qi Tian can use it to train his true dragon physique and cultivate his physical spirit.
Qi Tian took out the pearl, preparing to test the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
"Who should I turn to? The only powerful person I know right now is the Blue Silver King."
The Blue Silver King is a 75,000-year-old plant-based soul beast, with strength equivalent to a human Soul Master of level 80 or above.
Try it out, you'll definitely have a great experience.
However, Qi Tian planned to keep the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl as his trump card and did not want to easily show it to others to prevent them from coveting it.
"We can only use inanimate objects for testing!"
Qi Tian left the forest covered by his own domain and came to another forest.
Before Qi Tian was a massive rock more than ten meters thick, comparable to the city walls of some fortresses in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qi Tian took out the bead, infused it with his soul power according to the refining technique, and threw it at the huge rock.
The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl emitted five-colored light and crashed into the boulder with a whoosh.
With a slight cracking sound, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl pierced deep into the boulder, causing several large cracks to appear on its surface.
"Hiss! You can unleash such power with only level 28 soul power?" Qi Tian was somewhat surprised.
It should be noted that even the titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect could only breach the walls of the Heaven Dou Empire's fortress.
Now, with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, he is also able to do this.
Although not as shocking as the Clear Sky Hammer, this strike still truly reached the power of a Soul Saint's strike.
If used properly, this single bead could even injure or kill a Titled Douluo.
"Great! I finally have some trump cards to protect myself!" Qi Tian exclaimed happily.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, and after recovering some of his soul power, he used his Blue Silver Grass spirit to burrow into the crack in the rock and retrieve his Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
Qi Tian's current mental strength is insufficient to control the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, so he can only use this clumsy method to retrieve it.
The bead was connected to Qi Tian's mind and spirit, and it remained unchanged, with no damage to its surface.
But after the bead was removed, the cracks on the huge rock suddenly burst open, and the entire rock collapsed with a crash.
