After the banquet, the family gathered together again, chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms.
Zhou Bao had drunk a lot, but now he would not feel anything, even if he was drowned in a wine jar.
He didn't have much communication with Green Spirit when drinking, but, as soon as he returned to his room, he couldn't wait to ask.
”Aren't you doing closed-door training? You've mastered the Great Way of Stars so quickly?”
”How could it be! If it could be mastered so quickly, it would be too worthless!” There was a flurry of irritation in Green Spirit's psywave. ”But lately I've comprehended something through the practice, and I refined a star incarnation with the Sky-measuring Star Ruler!”
A star incarnation?
Zhou Bao was a little stunned. At this moment he felt the ring on his finger move and a bit of starlight broke through his Space Division Skill and flew out of the ring.
”This, is your star incarnation!”
”Yeah, this is my star incarnation. What?”
”Nothing, nothing. It's just that it looks a little unexpected.”
”Humph, ignorant!” Green Spirit swore rudely, ”I'm a Great Ancient Demon, so my incarnation is a demon, too! Do you want me to pretend to be a man?”
”Right, right, you're a Great Ancient Demon. You have the dignity of a Great Ancient Demon!” Zhou Bao blinked and stopped laughing, looking at the spider composed entirely of starlight.
Yes, it was a spider!
Green Spirit's star incarnation was a spider. ”Monster's aesthetic is far from human. Wait, the body of this spider...”
Just then Zhou Bao seemed to sense something, and suddenly rounded his eyes. Indeed, the spider in front of him was extremely small, similar to that of the ordinary, bloodsucking, Colorful-legged Spider. However, the immense star force that gathered in the spider was so vast and bright.
This spider had tried to suppress the massive star force within itself, but at any rate, the terrifying star force that emanated from the flowing faint starlight was unstoppable.
Zhou Bao's face went white after he felt it carefully with his spiritual mind. Looking at, and pointing to the bloody spider with trembling fingers, he sprang to his feet. ”Damn it, goddamn it, I was just letting you comprehend the Great Way of Stars with the Sky-measuring Star Ruler, not allowing you to suck up all the star force in the Sky-measuring Star Ruler to make a star incarnation! The, the, the star force in your incarnation is about the same as that of the Sky-measuring Star Ruler. You, you, you, did you suck up its star force?”
”How can this happen! The Sky-measuring Star Ruler was purified in the Constellation Sea for thousands of years. Awesome as the star incarnation is, it cannot use so much star force!”
Green Spirit's words reassured Zhou Bao, but his next words made Zhou Bao furious again.
”I just used up 80% of its star force. Hehe, boy, you're lucky! My star incarnation is powerful, with the cultivation of the Mysterious Realm. Boy, you're really lucky!”
”Fu*k!” With a roar, Zhou Bao lifted his foot to kick the bloody spider, but before he could kick it, he was blown away by the surging starlight and bumped into the wall of the room.
”Don't get mad, boy. Just listen to me!” Green Spirit's psywave seemed to be extremely complacent, as if jeering at Zhou Bao's overreach. ”The star incarnation's cultivation is Mysterious Realm, but its potential is immeasurable! Most importantly, it's an incarnation which isn't in the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Haha...”
”What? The incarnation isn't in the Ranking of Demons and Immortals? Then likewise it shouldn't in the Golden Book of Fate?”
”Certainly, hehe. Surprisingly, the world has changed so much in the years since I was banned. The Golden Book of Fate should be split in two. Neither the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, nor the Golden Book of Fate can affect the incarnation. Boy, this is the chance of Great Ways, a loophole in the Way of Heaven, which has been discovered early in the antiquity times. Moreover, since necromancers ran amok in those days, the way to practice incarnations spread throughout the world. Hee hee, even the way to practice the Third Primordial Spirit and the Fourth Primordial Spirit has appeared, not to speak of the Second Primordial Spirit. Well, boy, are you interested in it?”
”Is the Outer-body Incarnation really so magical?”
”Of course! But there's a condition for the Outer-body Incarnation—to practice it, you must condense primordial spirit first. Look, without primordial spirit, how can there be the Second Primordial Spirit, the Third Primordial Spirit? Additionally, to condense primordial spirit, your cultivation must reach the level of Individual Immortal!”
Hearing this, Zhou Bao froze, and his sudden beating heart, as if squeezed by something powerful, became calm. Then he looked at Green Spirit fiercely, ”What, the Second Primordial Spirit? Then what's the loophole?”
”Take it easy, take it easy, hear me out! Didn't I just say that? After the discovery of this loophole, necromancers have studied countless ways to practice the primordial spirit. Unfortunately, these ways were only used in practicing the primordial spirit, and there was no way that could make a man succeed in practicing the primordial spirit before he reached the Mysterious Realm. But they found some methods!”
”They found some methods?” Zhou Bao frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
”Yes, they found some methods which allow people to successfully practice their primordial spirit before they reach the Mysterious Realm!”
”What are these methods?”
”Take advantage of the limited treasures of heaven and earth. Even at the very beginning of Primordial Time, these things did not appear several times. To get them now is wishful thinking. Boy, do you think it's easy to utilize the loophole of the Way of Heaven?”
”Then what's the use of refining an incarnation?”
”It's certainly useful. An incarnation is equivalent to one more life. Then, if you break the Law of Heaven, and are struck by lightning, you will not truly die, having your soul dissipate. Even if your body is destroyed, as long as the incarnation exists, you will not die. Although you will be seriously injured, the Original Spirit won't have perished after all. Best of all, your incarnation isn't in the Golden Book of Fate, so you won't be listed as an Immortal. What a wonderful thing it is!”
When it came to this, Green Spirit finally got excited, laughing weirdly around Zhou Bao. ”I'm so lucky to run into the Sky-measuring Star Ruler this time. Put a wisp of primordial spirit in it, and refine the Outer-body Incarnation!”
”What? You've refined the Sky-measuring Star Ruler?” Zhou Bao gave a strange cry. The Sky-measuring Star Ruler was an extremely powerful Pure Yang Celestial Device, and he got it from Ye Qingtian through untold hardships. Before he had time to see it, it was refined by the damned Green Spirit. Of course he was angry.
”No, I didn't refine it. Boy, don't panic! My Original Spirit has already merged with the green lamp, so how can I refine a celestial device? I just placed the Second Primordial Spirit on the Pure Yang Celestial Device. Moreover, it's good for you as well. The Sky-measuring Star Ruler is a Pure Yang Celestial Device, but its star force is so vast that you can't use it. After I consumed 80% of the star force, the rest is right for you. Don't be an ingrate!”
Zhou Bao rolled his eyes. ”Now that your cultivation has reached the Mysterious Realm and you have the incarnation, you can go everywhere. You're no longer dependent on me, right?”
”No, my primordial spirit is placed on the Sky-measuring Star Ruler, just like my Original Spirit and the green lamp. How can I leave with these two things in your hand?” Here, his tone became strange. ”Plus, I told you, you're a man of great luck, so I'm going to stick with you. What, you want to get rid of me?”
”No, I'm not that stupid. I'm very pleased to have an expert at the Mysterious Realm as my thug!” Zhou Bao laughed. Indeed, he was not that stupid. Green Spirit was a Great Ancient Demon, so there were many advantages to keeping him around. Moreover, his strength was formidable!
”Hee hee, thug? Boy, that's easy for you to think about. Well, that's all right. Now I have my incarnation, and it is placed in your Sky-measuring Star Ruler. As long as you refine this celestial device well, why not be your thug?”
”That's what you said!”
”Yeah, no big deal! I've been a thug. But my incarnation isn't complete, and it takes time. I'm not here to tell you this!”
”Oh, you just said it. What's the method of once and for all?” Zhou Bao asked, ”You won't let me kill them all, will you?”
”You're cruel, too cruel! They're all your family. It's too cruel of you to want to kill them all!”
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Zhou Bao's forehead. ”I, I didn't mean that. I'm just afraid you will give me such a bad idea!”
