Chapter 467: 467、【Pearl of Heavenly Dao】

The bead rests in the gentleman’s palm and gives off a strong sense of chaos. There are currents of energy swirling within it, yet it seems impossible to see them distinctly.

The size of the bead is close to the size of Lu Xun’s green bead, just slightly smaller. Judging from the size, it’s the kind that the sword sheath would like.

This size can give it a sense of fullness, but not too much expansion.

Upon seeing the bead, Lu Xun’s gaze was instantly drawn to it.

The reason was simple, because although the energy within the bead seemed chaotic, the color was somewhat leaning towards black.

Whether regarding its hue or the feelings it inspired in people, it was very similar to Lu Xun’s Qi Sea.

If these currents of energy spread out and filled the entire world, it would be virtually identical to Lu Xun’s pitch-black, chaotic Qi Sea.

The gentleman held the bead between his thumb and index finger. His ring finger naturally lifted upwards, as he brought the bead before his eyes for a closer examination.

In his eyes, there was a satisfied expression. It seemed this bead was extremely important.

Lu Xun thought that the gentleman asking the third brother to bring back the Junior Priest was mainly for this bead.

No wonder the gentleman himself had never questioned the Junior Priest. Turns out what he truly needed was this chaotic energy flow.

Lu Xun, filled with curiosity, cast a [Detection] on the bead.

What shocked him this time, was the lack of even a single question mark popping up.

In the past, even items with a very high level that were outside his permissions would still cause a series of question marks to pop up.

Then, according to the color of the question marks, you could at least distinguish the level of the item.

Purple question marks meant it was of Purple Level, while orange question marks indicated Orange Level.

But this time, a window popped up displaying a big X, along with a line of small text.

“[Detection Failure!]”

“What the hell!” Lu Xun thought. It was the first time he encountered such a situation, whether in his past life or after crossing over, he had never seen this kind of message before.

“Even an Orange Level item would have information displayed, why doesn’t this bead have any?”

“Is it too high level?”

“Or is this bead very mysterious, and a key plot item?”

Lu Xun didn’t understand, so he began to ask the gentleman about it.

“Sir, what is this?” he asked.

The gentleman held up the chaotic bead, answering in a calm voice, “It’s a Pearl of Heavenly Dao, formed from the power of the Heavenly Path.”

Hearing this, Lu Xun was shaken to his core.

He had guessed as much, but he wasn’t quite sure.

Looking at Lu Xun’s shocked face, the gentleman, seeing this look of surprise, nodded in satisfaction, and casually asked:

“Little Five, would you like to take a look?”

…

…

Ink Sea, a nameless island.

A huge black figure stood in front of the Great Sacrificial Rite. He held a black hair strand in his hand.

The strand of hair was so thin that it was virtually unnoticeable unless you looked closely.

Just after midnight, this strand of black hair instantly turned into a silver thread.

Watching this hair change from black to white in his very eyes, the Supreme Lord clenched his fist.

“Respected One, what is this?” The Great Sacrificial Rite, who wore a large felt hat, couldn’t help but ask about the situation.

The Supreme Lord opened his hand, allowing the white hair to drift off with the wind and said lightly, “This is the symbol of the Junior Priest’s life.”

“What?!” The Great Sacrificial Rite couldn’t help but exclaim.

An anomaly in the symbol of life – doesn’t this imply that the Junior Priest could very likely be dead?

For some reason, a small sense of relief welled up in the heart of the Great Sacrificial Rite.

It’s better if he’s dead, yes, better if he’s dead!

He did not have the Blood Covenant and fell into the hands of the people from Heavenly Dust. Regardless of the final outcome, this is a hidden danger, not a good thing for our clan.

Moreover, the value the Junior Priest holds himself is actually not much anymore.

Instead of putting in all his efforts to save him, it would be better to let him go forever like it is now!

But for some reason, the Great Priest felt that the Supreme Lord had a look of gravity on his face.

When he found out about the Junior Priest’s disappearance, the Supreme Lord was furious but nowhere near as solemn as he is now.

“Could it be… Is there some secret about the junior priest that I do not know?” The Great Priest wondered to himself, his large head bowed.

“Supreme Lord, is there going to be some kind of problem?” asked the Great Priest.

The Supreme Lord waved his hand and said, “Maybe I’m overthinking.”

He looked at the bewildered Great Priest and said, “You are not aware that our God has bestowed the junior priest with a divine power.”

“Supreme Lord, are you worried that after the death of the junior priest, this power will be controlled by others?” asked the Great Priest.

The Supreme Lord nodded and then said, “Perhaps I’m overthinking. This power, of a high rank, will eventually return to nature, be absorbed by the earth and the sky. How can the Heavenly Dust Cultivators control it?”

Hearing what the Supreme Lord said, the Great Priest asked with a furrowed brow, “So this power is beyond even the Supreme Lord’s control?”

“Yes, if we were on our territory, maybe we could try. But here on Heavenly Dust, any touch would mean death!” Said the Supreme lord solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the Great Priest inhaled deeply, gaining a new understanding of this mysterious power.

He didn’t expect that the junior priest, who had no cultivation base, would possess such a powerful influence.

He initially thought that the junior priest’s special ability was given by our God. Now it appears, it’s likely related to this power which fused with him by our God.

However, since even the Supreme Lord cannot control this power, there is probably no need to worry about it.

Allowing it to merge back into nature might be the best outcome.

Meanwhile, far from the Ink Sea and in the back mountains of the Demon Sect, Lu Xun was carefully receiving the Pearl of Heavenly Dao from the teacher’s hands.

When he held the pearl, he did not feel anything, as if holding a marble that was relatively big.

This left Lu Xun somewhat disappointed.

At the same time, however, he was shocked by the teacher’s extraordinary skills.

The less you sense the marvel, isn’t that more evidence that the teacher’s technique worked and he sealed the airflow inside the pearl?

Otherwise, with the rank of the power of the Heavenly Dao, how could Lu Xun, who is now only at level 51, approach it directly?

He might disappear from this world if he barely touched it, and used up all his lives!

“Just how strong is the teacher? The junior priest said that he couldn’t see through the teacher and was not his match in divination. Now, the teacher has directly turned the power of Heavenly Dao into a pearl,” Lu Xun wondered.

What kind of strength is this? The peak of the ninth realm, level 100?

According to the power division of Heavenly Dust, the peak of the ninth realm is the highest level one can achieve!

Now, with the Pearl of Heavenly Dao in his hand, Lu Xun is experiencing a fluctuation of emotion similar to the one he felt when he held the mysterious pearl that produces Primordial Power.

Or rather, it’s a desire that has been ignited deep within his heart.

— Swallow it!

Again, it’s this feeling, a strong desire to swallow the pearl!

Plus, he could feel that the desire this time is much stronger than the last!

The teacher glanced at Lu Xun and noticed the change in his expression.

He simply said, “The pearl is yours.”

“Ah, teacher, it’s for me to keep?” Lu Xun looked up at the teacher, surprised that the teacher would give him the Pearl of Heavenly Dao.

This thing’s level and grade were so high, he thought the teacher would keep it for himself.

“For me, it’s just the icing on the cake. For you, though, you really need it, but not now.” The teacher looked up at the sky and spoke.

“Then when?” asked Lu Xun, confused.

“Wait until you reach the ninth realm and attain the Great Perfection of Sword Dao, then try to fuse with it. At that time, you will really need it.” The teacher calmly responded.

“The ninth realm, and the Great Perfection in Sword Dao?” Lu Xun wondered, wouldn’t that require more than 90 levels and a Swordsmanship Aptitude of 10?

After saying all this, the teacher did not say anything else.

All the while, he was gazing up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
