Chapter 40: Southern Sea - Birth of the anomalies.
Looking at the series of notifications, Su Yen's mouth hung wide open, and he straightened his back in his seat.
'How can I form a karmic tie with…' He paused for a couple of seconds, staring at the Bloodmoon and Fate Demonic Sect.
He had never had any encounter with the Bloodmoon Envoy or with the Fate Demonic Sect. How could he form a Karmic tie with the two of them?
Also, from looking at the massive Karmic bound, he could deduce that the two were powerful entities that would not be easily dealt with.
He sighed, shaking his head, and tried to communicate with the system, but the system failed to respond to all his calls.
'I guess… I need to find out who these Bloodmoon envoys and Fate Demonic Sect are,' he thought with another deep sigh.
[Ding!]
[Will you like to receive your reward now?]
[Yes | No]
'Yes,' he answered without giving it a thought.
With the Bloodmoon Envoy and Fate Demonic Sect on his neck, he needed to get stronger as quickly as possible.
At once, a stream of pure spiritual energy appeared inside the hall and entered his body without any hindrance.
Immediately, his cultivation began to rise.
Intermediate Qi Refinement stage 5.
Intermediate Qi Refinement stage 6.
Reaching the Intermediate Qi Refinement stage 6, his cultivation came to a stop slowly. Finally, it stopped at the peak of stage 6 and only needed a little push to break through to the Peak Qi Refinement stage.
Feeling his cultivation, Su Yen was pleased, and the sudden burden of the two hegemonies lessened in his heart.
'As long as I can increase the providence of the world… I can break through easily.'
With this thought, he reaffirmed his decision to increase the world providence as quickly as possible.
Subsequently, the spiritual energy inside the Celestial Heavenly Sect increased to another level.
Those who were cultivating had a breakthrough one after the other, shocking everyone.
'What is going on?'
They thought about it for a couple of moments, but when they couldn't find the reason, they threw it to the back of their minds.
Now, in the sect, the phobia of breakthrough had been eradicated by Su Yen.
Strength meant everything now. If you wanted to enjoy the best resources of the sect, you must have the corresponding strength.
Meanwhile, inside the Jin family manor, the Jin upper echelon gathered and looked at their patriarch.
"Patriarch, we must seize this opportunity quickly and make a deal with the Su— Celestial Heavenly Sect about the Spirit Comms," a woman said.
"Yes, we can't miss this opportunity. No matter how unreasonable their demands are… We must agree to it," another elder supported.
Some of the elders that hadn't tested the novelty of the Spirit Comms had skeptical looks on their faces.
Clearing his throat, the Jin Patriarch said in a deep voice.
"I understand how you feel, and I feel the same. But the Su — Celestial Heavenly Sect is not like any other power we've dealt with…" He paused to arrange his thoughts before he continued.
"We must be prudent not to invoke their wrath. We can only make the necessary preparations for their calls of partnership and seize the opportunity with all might."
Hearing this, all the elders nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.
And immediately, they began the preparation. Subsequently, the Shu clan and Gao clan were also in preparation for the call of the Celestial Heavenly Sect.
While also, in front of all the stores of the Celestial Heavenly Sect in the Barren Land, a massive crowd sat there, waiting patiently for the sale of the Spirit Comms.
On the third day, at the crack of dawn, the sky transformed into a canvas of deep indigo and twilight purples, resembling the robes of ancient sorcerers.
Gradually, these rich, velvety hues gave way to the warm and inviting oranges and reds, as if the heavens themselves were setting fire to the heavens.
The sun, a radiant orb of golden brilliance, ascended slowly above the horizon, casting its benevolent gaze upon the land below.
The massive, tall circular Celestial Heavenly Sect Hall stood imposing in various towns and cities, commanding respect.
Creak!
Suddenly, the door that had been closed for the past couple of days was opened.
What did it mean?
Everyone sitting in front of the hall stood on their feet as if they were on steroids, looking at the middle-aged man in front of the hall.
Were they going to start selling the Spirit Comms? They all thought, their hearts racing.
"Welcome, everyone. Today will begin the sale of the Spirit Comms," the middle-aged man said.
"Yes! I knew it!" A man cried in elation.
He was imposing, adorned in the Metal Bone Construct, leaving those beside him in panic.
Since he tested the power of the Metal Bone
Construct, he had been a hardcore fan of the Su clan.
When he heard the Celestial Heavenly Sect had created a new device, he rushed down from his hunting mission, wanting to be the first group to purchase the Spirit Comms.
Seeing the glowing enthusiasm on the faces of the crowd, a swell of pride erupted from the middle-aged man, and he continued with a loud voice.
"For the Spirit Comms to circulate quickly, the sect master had commanded. A single person can only buy five while clans can only buy twenty in a day."
Hearing this, the crowd was shocked for a moment before bright smiles appeared on their faces.
They realized the Celestial Heavenly Sect didn't want the clan to hoard everything for themselves.
Quickly, the sale of the Spirit Comms began in Barren Land, sending the Barren Land into the information age.
Meanwhile, in the vast expanse of the Southern Sea, where the horizon seemed to stretch endlessly, there existed a lone island, a solitary sentinel surrounded by the boundless azure waters.
The island was a place of pristine beauty, untouched by the hands of modernity.
Towering palm trees swayed gently in the sea breeze, their fronds whispering secrets to the sky.
As the island basked in the warm embrace of the Southern Sea, a sudden tremor rippled through the earth below.
The island itself began to shake, its very core awakened by the surge of a powerful spiritual fluctuation.
A deep, ominous crack appeared on the surface, as if the very earth was splitting apart.
The fissure glowed with an otherworldly light, casting an eerie, ethereal glow across the landscape.
From within the depths of the island, a resonating hum emanated, growing louder and more potent with each passing moment.
