Fusion Power

Sensing the change in Spirit Aunt's expression, Lin Langtian, who had just broken through and was still savoring his joy, could not help but freeze. Following her gaze, he noticed the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm within his dantian.

A thoughtful look flashed through Lin Langtian's eyes as he carefully asked, "Spirit Aunt, what is it?"

In response to Lin Langtian's question, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow remained silent. Only the lingering shock at the corner of her eyes proved that Lin Langtian had not sensed it wrongly.

After a long while, Spirit Aunt gazed at the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm with a complicated expression before slowly asking, "Where did you obtain this Golden Mirror?"

Lin Langtian's heart stirred at the sight. As expected, the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was connected to Spirit Aunt!

At that thought, Lin Langtian felt both delighted and somewhat uneasy.

He was delighted because, since this Golden Mirror could attract the attention of a Great Thousand World Strong like Spirit Aunt, it was most likely an extraordinary treasure.

What unsettled him was the possibility that Spirit Aunt might take it back. If that happened, would he not lose the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm entirely?

After his thoughts churned for a moment, Lin Langtian ultimately decided to tell the truth. He explained in full how he had obtained the Spirit Wheel Realm, as well as the changes it had undergone afterward.

In Lin Langtian's view, since he and Spirit Aunt were already linked by bloodline, he naturally had to treat her with sincerity. Playing petty tricks would only be beneath him and would not benefit their future relationship.

After listening to Lin Langtian's account, Spirit Aunt fell into deep thought. Then she looked at him, her expression complicated.

"As expected of the Lan Cang Continent's greatest divine artifact. It was not so easily destroyed. In that earth-shattering explosion, it actually relied on a fragment of a residual talisman to arrive in this continent with me and take residence here to be reborn.

"Yet I never expected that the object the Ancient Sky Eagle and I had fought so desperately over would, by a twist of fate, end up in your hands."

By the end, Spirit Aunt let out a sigh.

Lin Langtian's expression shifted repeatedly. Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "Since Spirit Aunt needs it, Langtian will return it to its rightful owner."

Although the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was precious, Lin Langtian considered it nothing more than an object. A Nine Nether Flame Sparrow expert like Spirit Aunt was the true key to his path toward the pinnacle.

After weighing the two, Lin Langtian decisively chose to cling to Spirit Aunt's thigh.

"Oh? You are truly willing? Do you know the many wondrous uses of this Mysterious Golden Mirror?"

Hearing Lin Langtian's words, Spirit Aunt was taken aback. A questioning look then flashed through her eyes.

In her view, Lin Langtian must not have known what the Mysterious Golden Mirror could do, or he would not have said such a thing.

"As for the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm's functions, this junior is too weak to explore more than a fraction of them. But I believe the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm is indeed a rare and miraculous treasure of the world.

"Even so, compared with Spirit Aunt, it is not worth mentioning." Lin Langtian spoke solemnly as he quietly flattered her.

"Hehe, what an interesting little fellow. Your maturity and steadiness would be rare even among the younger generation of my clan..." Spirit Aunt examined Lin Langtian with her eyes, not expecting the young man before her to resist such temptation.

Even she herself had coveted the Mysterious Golden Mirror's miraculous uses.

Shaking her head, Spirit Aunt sighed. "Forget it. My physical body has already been destroyed, so this object is of little use to me now.

"Besides, since it has acknowledged you as its master, it means you are fated with it. From now on, this Mysterious Golden Mirror shall be under your control."

Lin Langtian was stunned upon hearing this, then exclaimed in delight, "Thank you for your gift, Spirit Aunt!"

"You need not thank me. Whether you can bring out the Mysterious Golden Mirror's potential will depend on your own ability. If you let it gather dust, I will naturally take it back," Spirit Aunt said flatly.

"This junior will certainly not disappoint Spirit Aunt's expectations. But what was the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm originally called, and what are its functions? I hope Spirit Aunt can enlighten me." After his initial delight, Lin Langtian seemed to recall something and hurriedly asked for guidance.

The Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was a great treasure, yet Lin Langtian had no key to unlock it. Naturally, this left him unbearably eager.

"The Golden Spirit Wheel Realm... not a bad name. As for its original name, it was long forgotten over the ages. Since you are now its master, call it the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm from now on.

"As for its functions..." Spirit Aunt paused slightly before saying, "All divine artifacts possess spirits. Since the Mirror Spirit has yet to tell you, it presumably has not fully recovered. Once the Mirror Spirit awakens, you will understand. I shall not say too much.

"However, I can tell you that this Mysterious Golden Mirror possesses a miraculous ability: Fusion Power. The Great Thousand World is vast and boundless, and every plane has its own cultivation laws and power systems.

"Yet this Mysterious Golden Mirror can fuse different kinds of power into one, unleashing tremendous might!"

"Fusion Power?" Lin Langtian was startled, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes.

This ability immediately reminded him of the Qiankun Ancient Formation Plate, ranked fifth among the ten great ancient divine artifacts of the Heavenly Profound Continent!

In the original timeline, Lin Dong had accidentally purchased a Mysterious Cushion in the Great Yan Dynasty and obtained the Qiankun Ancient Formation Plate from within it. It fused the various powers within him—Yuan Power, Mental Power, Devouring Power, and more—allowing him to fight above his level.

At present, Lin Langtian likewise possessed Yuan Power, Mental Power, and even Black Flame Power within his body, but lacked a method to fuse them.

Lin Langtian had specifically sent people to search for that Mysterious Cushion, but it seemed to be avoiding him. There had never been the slightest news of it.

Now that he learned the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm possessed such an ability as well, how could Lin Langtian not be overjoyed?

Moreover, judging by Spirit Aunt's words, this was only one of the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm's functions. If so, if the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm were placed on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, would it not far surpass the Qiankun Ancient Formation Plate?

At that thought, Lin Langtian found his joy impossible to put into words...

Just as Lin Langtian was rejoicing, Spirit Aunt directly poured cold water on him. "Do not celebrate too soon. Whether this Mysterious Golden Mirror can recover its peak state is still uncertain.

"From the Nascent Soul it devoured from you earlier, I have gained some understanding of this continent. The dynasty you reside in is a remote backwater even within this plane.

"Whether you can leave it behind will depend on your own ability..."

Lin Langtian's expression did not change at her words. He had long understood his own circumstances.

Lin Langtian cupped his hands toward Spirit Aunt, his expression resolute. "Where there is a will, there is a way. This junior believes that a mere Great Yan Dynasty cannot contain me."

Spirit Aunt was slightly taken aback by Lin Langtian's calm expression. For some reason, she had never seen even the slightest inferiority or retreat in this young man. From beginning to end, he had remained steadfast and confident.

Spirit Aunt's eyes flickered, and she chuckled. "Since you and I are now bound together, then as your neighbor, I shall give you a greeting gift."

As her words fell, a dark beam of light suddenly shot out from Spirit Aunt's forehead. It tore through layer upon layer of darkness and flew forth with an exceptionally fierce aura, finally hovering before Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian looked toward the dark light. Within it, a ring of black flames seemed to be slowly revolving. At the center of the ring of black flames, four ancient characters flickered in and out of view.

"Black Flame Body!"
