216: Replenish

"This system is simply... a great supplement to the extraordinary path I have constructed!"

The cultivation system Xiang Yan originally created relied on making Believers constantly draw closer to his own power, among which, "Contemplation" was an extremely important link.

Practitioners condense their mental will by Contemplation of diagrams presented by the manifestations of their own power, simulating, and eventually even manifesting powerful weapons, Magic Treasure, or even Divine Beast phantoms.

The height of this system's upper limit depends on how far one can go.

But the problem is equally obvious; for those Believers who contemplate things like artifacts, this is a disaster.

Because for the "artifact-type" Visualization Diagram, the true exertion of its power has extremely harsh requirements for a "carrier."

In the Early Stage, even if one contemplates a divine weapon that can cut through stars, without a carrier, it is basically no different from an ordinary iron sword.

To exert power, one either needs the practitioner themselves to reach a very high Realm, forcibly condensing it with their own energy, or find suitable Materials to forge an object capable of carrying the power of the Visualization Diagram.

But then the problem arises.

Materials are hard to find, for one.

More importantly, in situations where the practitioner's Realm is insufficient, unable to perfectly control the Visualization Diagram, and lacking a suitable carrier, the power is greatly discounted, perhaps even becoming a fleeting phantom.

This directly led to the fact that in the system he constructed, before reaching a certain critical Realm, the combat power of artifact practitioners using "artifacts" was often inferior to Visualization Diagrams of natural elements, beast forms, or certain individual body parts.

This is a minor defect, but it limited the versatility of the system in the Early Stage and Middle Stage and the combat power in some directions.

Xiang Yan had always been pondering ways to make up for this, but had never found a perfect solution.

And now, the answer was clearly presented before him.

The system of the Myriad Artifact Realm perfectly bypassed the problems of "difficult to find carriers" and "difficulty in manifestation during the Early Stage"!

It does not require practitioners to start from scratch, wasting mental energy to contemplate and find matching rare Materials.

It directly provides a shortcut: choose an existing object in reality, and through the "certification" of the world's rules, transform it into a "soul weapon" bound to one's own Soul!

This "soul weapon" is a ready-made "carrier"!

Regardless of whether one chooses a broken blade or a stubborn stone, once the binding is successful, it possesses the "qualification" to grow.

Subsequent strength no longer depends on its own material, but on the "resource adaptability" after the practitioner combines with it—the efficiency of devouring and converting external resources to become stronger!

"Using real objects as a base saves the process of condensing from nothing..."

"Using resource devouring as the core growth path bypasses the dependence on specific Heaven And Earth Treasure..."

"The soul weapon grows together with its master, mutually nourishing..."

In Xiang Yan's consciousness, countless thoughts collided and Fusion occurred.

What if the exquisite and incomparably powerful artifact Visualization Diagrams in the system he constructed could be combined with the "soul weapon" system of the Myriad Artifact Realm?

Let the practitioner first choose a mortal object as the starting point for the "soul weapon," and then imprint the corresponding "Visualization Diagram" on it to guide its evolutionary direction!

In this way, it not only solves the problem of the "carrier" in the Early Stage but also allows those powerful Visualization Diagrams to exert power far exceeding the original in the Early Stages of cultivation!

The soul weapon can continuously strengthen itself by devouring resources, while the Visualization Diagram provides it with a "blueprint" for evolution and a higher "upper limit"!

This is simply... a match made in heaven!

On Xiang Yan's face, a faint, imperceptible arc seemed to be outlined.

It was a classic case of 'finding what one is looking for without even trying.'

To him, this Myriad Artifact Realm had a value far exceeding his initial estimation.

It was not just a world that could be plundered for resources; its unique cultivation system was in itself a priceless "Treasure Trove."

Thinking of this, Xiang Yan could not wait to integrate into this world and carefully explore the extraordinary path here.

The Aura that had always been restrained around Xiang Yan suddenly... boiled!

Boom—!!!

An Aura no less than that of You An or Fannojia previously burst out from within Xiang Yan's body!

Without the slightest concealment, without the slightest hesitation.

Xiang Yan rushed toward the continent with a savage, domineering posture!

...

The Suradi Continent was having another peaceful day, with all sorts of bullying the weak, petty theft, and rampant tyranny still playing out on it.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by a sudden, extremely savage Aura!

Rumble—!!!

The Void Realm shook, and energy became chaotic!

A stream of light, like a meteorite, without warning, smashed through the energy barrier on the periphery of this area, bringing with it a shrill whistle, and rushed directly into the interior of the continent!

"Enemy attack—!!!"

"Alert! Alert! There is an unknown intruder—!!!"

"What kind of scoundrel dares to trespass on the Suradi Continent—!!!"

Furious roars exploded in the Void Realm like thunder.

Immediately after, figures flew up, preparing to intercept the intruder.

These figures, without exception, all exuded powerful Auras; they were the true backbone of the Suradi Continent, the superiors of this continent!

However, when they truly saw the appearance of the uninvited guest, their originally surging anger was extinguished by more than half in an instant, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their heads.

Replacing it was unbelievable... shock and panic.

The stream of light that had barged in violently paused slowly in the Void Realm, revealing the figure within.

It was a humanoid creature, clad in dark cyan carapace, with several flexible and powerful arms, holding a ferocious-looking curved sickle in its hands.

On its forehead, a phantom, strange glowing rune mark flickered in and out of existence.

"Lord... Lord Fannojia?!"

"This... this Aura... it really is Lord Fannojia!"

"My Lord, you... why have you suddenly descended? And... and in such a hurry?"

Those figures who had rushed over aggressively were, the moment they saw the newcomer's appearance, as if struck by a immobilization spell, all stopping in their tracks.

The anger and hostility on their faces disappeared without a trace, replaced by... awe and confusion mixed with a hint of trepidation.

They could never have imagined that the violent intruder would actually be Fannojia!

Although Fannojia was not considered one of the top The Strong Ones in the Myriad Artifact Realm, possessing the "token of pioneering" and the Wind Seal was enough to make the vast majority of people maintain awe toward him.

Xiang Yan, or rather, Xiang Yan currently disguised as Fannojia, calmly scanned the figures with various expressions around him, the corners of his mouth slightly curling into a cold arc.

"Why have I come?"

"Heh..."

"I've just come to your place to rest for a while; what, am I not welcome?"
