Chapter 511: Chapter 313: Commission

Leaving the Void Spirit Cave Heaven and coming to the Southern Sea Cultivation Realm, it was like a dragon entering the sea, shedding many constrictions and bindings, yet a multitude of problems followed.

Firstly, there were resource issues. Not only did Xu Yang need to complete the Artifact Levels for White Jade Capital, but he also had to refine the Broken Void Stele to assemble the War God Mech Armor, all of which required a great deal of Spirit Stones and resources.

Especially the latter, materials related to the void were extremely precious. Those of high tiers were exorbitantly valuable, and even those of lower tiers were not cheap. To gather thirty million void-related Magic Artifacts, plus refining a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact level Broken Void Stele, to assemble the “Broken War God” Mech Armor—Xu Yang’s own assets were far from sufficient.

Additionally, with the establishment of Wandao School within White Jade Capital, tens of millions of Cultivators and hundreds of millions of mortals had already dedicated themselves to various industries, engaging in massive “Great Agriculturing” movements, which also required a large amount of resources for initial investments.

With so many gaps, what could Xu Yang use to fill them?

The modest fortune from Lingbao Island?

To say it was a drop in the bucket would be an understatement, albeit better than nothing.

There were gaps everywhere, and Spirit Stones were needed everywhere.

Besides that, Xu Yang’s own cultivation had issues; his lack of Spiritual Root and innate talent had always been a great hindrance on his Dao Path.

Although he had a skill attribute panel and skill characteristics and, relying on the Taoist Martial Two Scriptures transmissions, cultivated a plethora of cultivation accessories for himself, this was only useful in the early stages. After entering the Divinity-Transformation Realm, his cultivation speed had significantly slowed down. He had to cultivate even more cultivation accessories to compensate.

How to solve these problems, these needs?

Only by stirring up trouble!

A horse that does not graze at night does not get fat; a person does not become wealthy without unexpected windfalls!

Are there not enough Spirit Stones to spend, not enough resources to use?

Then go stir up businesses, make extra money!

Over these years, apart from managing the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion at Lingbao and profiting from selling Sword Artifacts, Xu Yang had also covertly entered the Cultivation Technique market, as well as some gray industries.

On one hand, through powers like the Bright Moon Pavilion, he massively sold Cultivation Techniques from the Taoist Scriptures and Martial Arts Scripture; on the other hand, he set up Ancestral Caves across the Southern Sea, stuffing them with a huge number of Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, then released information and clues, enticing cultivators from all walks to come and seek the mysterious.

The former not only allowed him to enter the Magic Artifact market to reap huge benefits, but also let him fish for big fish, as not all business forces were as clear-headed as Bright Moon Pavilion, capable of maintaining self-control.

Many forces, blinded by greed, wished to swallow him whole, this lucky upstart, only to be counter-killed by him. In the process, he had slain more than a dozen Return to Void cultivators until finally, carrying a notorious reputation, he approached Bright Moon Pavilion for cooperation.

That was the former; there was also the latter—when Ancestral Caves arose, attracting numerous cultivators. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts and fights, murders, and treasure snatching.

Xu Yang moved among these, specifically targeting villainous Robbing Cultivators, making a fortune through the dog-eat-dog method, while also spreading the Taoist Martial Two Scriptures, adding a host of cultivation accessories for himself.

With this approach, he not only filled the development gaps but also resolved the issues of decelerated cultivation progress and slow advancement, killing two birds with one stone.

That was why, in recent years, the Southern Sea had been continuously tumultuous, with unrest in various places.

Most of the turbulence in the Southern Sea in these years was related to him, the result of him stirring up trouble.

From this perspective, he truly was a calamity; wherever he went, there would be incidents.

Fortunately, the Southern Sea was vast, with abundant resources, able to withstand his meddling.

In this manner, three months later…

Inside the Essence of Fire Hall.

“Go!”

Xu Yang formed hand seals, unleashing strands of Mana, infusing them into the hazy, profound stele in front of him.

“Buzz!”

With the final strand of Mana entering, the ancient stele vibrated intensely, its surface radiating brilliant light, revealing golden inscriptions that wriggled like insects and reptiles, resembling dragons and snakes. They exuded a profound Taoist Rhyme, full of the mysteries of the void.

Finally, the brilliance completely retracted, the inscriptions vanished, leaving only the stele, which rapidly condensed in form, becoming like a hand-held object, falling into Xu Yang’s hand.

“Done!”

Looking at the Broken Void Stele in his hand, now successfully promoted to a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact, Xu Yang shook his head and murmured, “What a pity, it’s just an imitation!”

Through the mastery of Sixth Rank Artifact Refining skills, his understanding of the Dao of the Void, and the high-tier materials like Void Spirit Crystals obtained at the East Lai convention, Xu Yang had successfully elevated the Broken Void Stele to the rank of Immortal Artifact.

A Low-Grade Immortal Artifact, placed at Fifth Rank!

In terms of Quality Rank alone, this Broken Void Stele was no different from the one in the Temple of War God.

But that was only in terms of Quality Rank. The imitation Broken Void Stele lacked the profound Dao mysteries of the real one; it couldn’t lock onto the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit to produce rare treasures, nor could it help someone cultivate a Martial Spiritual Body.

Not just the Broken Void, the other Forty-Nine War God Charts were the same; Xu Yang could only mimic the basic effects. The most core secrets remained elusive to him, and the Temple of War God was also yet to grasp them.

Xu Yang speculated that these abilities—to lock onto the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit, produce rare treasures, and cultivate a Martial Spiritual Body—were the most core secrets of the War God’s Atlas. Perhaps only upon reaching the Divine Martial Realm, unifying the Forty-Nine War God Charts into one, and fully controlling the Temple of War God, could one possibly decipher and understand them.

Otherwise, where would Xu Yang need to do so much, to directly refine the Forty-Nine War God Charts, then occupy forty-nine Spirit Veins, and wait for the harvest, even possibly changing his physique to develop a Martial Spiritual Body akin to an Immortal Dao Spiritual Root.

Alas, alas…

But it didn’t matter; the Temple of War God stood there. If it couldn’t be conquered now, it didn’t mean it could never be conquered. It was merely a matter of time and endurance. Xu Yang believed that one day he would completely unravel the secrets of the War God.
