Chapter 2041: Chapter 2041: Harvest
"What brings you to us?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
He had a deep impression of this ordinary-looking woman.
Her strength definitely wasn’t as simple as it appeared; although he hadn’t seen her take action, her power was definitely not simple.
"Are you planning to head to the Vast Sea?" the woman asked.
"Yes!" Xu Nian hesitated a moment and nodded.
"Can you take me with you? I’m willing to pay a reward," the woman said hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect her to make such a request.
Upon hearing this proposal, Lu Qinxin immediately looked at the woman with a vigilant gaze.
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Nian asked, "Aren’t you from Tianqing Palace? Why do you want to go to the Vast Sea?"
"I originally came from the Vast Sea; I’m the daughter of the island master of Divine Array Island. However, a few years ago, I encountered some accidents and ended up here, joining Tianqing Palace out of necessity. I’ve always wanted to return, but the Vast Sea is fraught with dangers, and I don’t dare go alone. Seeing your powerful skills earlier, I wanted to travel with you," said the ordinary-looking woman.
Xu Nian couldn’t tell if she was lying, but he was intrigued by her identity.
Divine Array Island?
It seems he guessed correctly; she indeed excelled in formations.
Seeing Xu Nian seemed interested, the woman pressed her advantage, "I am willing to offer a family secret manual, the Eighth Divine Array, if you take me to the Vast Sea."
With that, a book appeared in her hand.
From the book, Xu Nian distinctly felt a vast array of power.
"Alright, I agree, but we aren’t planning to depart immediately; it will be some time yet. Will you wait for me at Tianqing Palace or come with me to Heavenly Court Gang?" Xu Nian said at once.
"I’ve already left, so I naturally won’t return; I’ll go with you to Heavenly Court Gang," the woman replied.
Xu Nian nodded, then took the three people with him as he returned to Heavenly Court Gang.
"Xu Nian, why bring her along? She seems to be up to something," Lu Qinxin said to Xu Nian through transmission.
"I know she must have other motives, but her formation book is real, and I’m quite interested," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
He already handed the Eighth Divine Array to his true self for study; he had to admit, its contents were truly profound.
The Eight Gates Formation within was exceedingly mystical; if he could grasp it, he’d gain another means of protection.
"In that case, be careful," Lu Qinxin remarked, seeing Xu Nian so insistent, and said no more.
The Divine Ship sped through the air as Xu Nian headed to the Chaos Divine Palace.
He planned to inventory the gains from entering the Holy Temple and casually open that Divine Coffin.
His gaze first landed on the Five Thunders Slaying God Sword.
After some testing, the Five Thunders Slaying God Sword’s power seemed to reach the peak of the Early Stage God King level, perhaps even capable of contending with a mid-stage God King.
Of course, if the opponent had profound insight into the Ten Thousand Dao, it would not be a match.
Next was the Demon-Subduing Pestle, a Spiritual Treasure; he hadn’t yet figured out how to use it, so he set it aside for now.
Then there were the four green flags; if Xu Nian guessed correctly, these flags were the cause of the riotous storm.
The flags contained boundless Wind Attribute power; he planned to have his Wind Attribute Avatar refine them, and then see what specific functions they possess.
Finally, there was the Mixed Element Water Pearl, also an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Among Innate Spiritual Treasures, it was top-tier, containing abundant Mixed Element Water Attribute essence.
Xu Nian intended to use this Mixed Element Water Pearl as the core for his Water Attribute Avatar.
Meanwhile, he’d cultivated the Fire Spirit Mountain blood previously obtained, planning to use it to craft a Fire Attribute Avatar.
Thus, his Water and Fire Avatars were complete.
Next, it was just a matter of time, and with the Chaos Divine Palace, he could shorten this time by a thousandfold; in decades, he’d have fully mature avatars.
By then, Xu Nian would have six avatars: Water, Fire, Wind, Soil, Gold, and Space.
Each avatar would be of top-tier talent.
Xu Nian couldn’t help but feel some anticipation.
As for the Divine Beast corpses he obtained, they were all devoured by the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, becoming his nutrients.
Ultimately, Xu Nian turned his attention to the Divine Coffin.
If he guessed correctly, inside should lie the corpse of Demon Sky; whether or not there were other treasures remained to be seen.
Mobilizing Divine Power, he slowly pushed open the Stone Coffin.
Inside lay a sinister-looking young man, seemingly as youthful as Xu Nian.
"This is Demon Sky, so young," Xu Nian was astonished.
The man gave off an eerie feeling, and his physique was remarkably robust, comparable to Xu Nian’s true self.
"Kid, a Divine Sovereign level expert’s body is inherently eternal, even without deliberate Body Refinement," Daotian said, appearing beside Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was utterly surprised.
Eternal?
"If I could refine this corpse into a puppet, wouldn’t I gain another formidable force?" Xu Nian wondered.
The puppets he previously made were of God Level; they’d grown relatively useless and would be left with Heavenly Court Gang.
If he could refine this Divine Sovereign body into a puppet, it would be extraordinarily formidable.
"It’s possible, but refining the body of a Divine Sovereign level expert as a puppet might attract their killing intent," Daotian Rat cautioned.
"Strength is the foundation. Weakness is a sin; even if I don’t refine a puppet, these experts could easily kill me," Xu Nian said calmly.
"True enough," Daotian Rat agreed.
"If you’re interested in puppet refining, I have a noteworthy technique you can consider," Daotian Rat continued.
With that, he handed Xu Nian a Jade Scroll before vanishing.
Xu Nian took the Jade Scroll, instantly delighted.
This puppet refining technique didn’t require the Primordial Spirit Pearl like before; it employed special methods to let the puppet develop Spiritual Wisdom.
This method was incredibly defiant of the natural order.
The more defiant, the greater the power; Xu Nian believed that puppets refined this way could rival God King Peak, perhaps even reach Demon Sky’s peak strength.
For him, it would surely serve as a trump card.
"Oh, what’s this?"
At that moment, Xu Nian noticed that Demon Sky held a sharp little blade.
"Isn’t that Bai Tianhan’s Master’s Shattering Void Saber? Could Bai Tianhan’s Master have met with disaster?" Xu Nian wondered aloud.
"No, this isn’t Bai Tianhan’s Master’s Shattering Void Saber; it just resembles his Spiritual Treasure and seems like it shares a lineage," Xu Nian concluded after close inspection.
Perhaps through this Spiritual Treasure, Xu Nian could find Bai Tianhan’s Master after all.
