Welcome Party

"Absorbing other powers caused a mental breakdown? I didn't have that happen, did I?"

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei asked, looking puzzled.

"What? You didn't have any issues at all while I was suffering?"

Shen San Qi Fei looked at him in complete disbelief.

"No way, today I absolutely must make you experience my pain."

Wearing the twisted expression of Pain, he lunged toward Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei.

As soon as the two made contact, the Sharing ability activated.

Shen San Qi Fei saw the experiences Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei had after accepting the sharing.

His cultivation base skyrocketed, the essence of his Life Bead improved, and his Will Jewel gained two new attributes: Life and Destruction.

Then, the differences emerged.

A portion of the special power Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei obtained merged into the Destruction attribute of his Will Jewel, while the other portion combined with his soul.

Throughout this entire process, there was no influx of external power whatsoever.

"Why is that?"

Shen San Qi Fei opened his eyes, unable to comprehend it for a moment.

"Could it be because their world already has a Destruction?"

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei speculated.

Hearing him say this, Shen San Qi Fei also recalled it.

In the worldview of Heavenly Jewel Change, the final boss belongs to the Destruction lineage.

In other words, in the Heavenly Jewel Change World, there was already a county magistrate named Destruction.

This magistrate had collected all the taxes (powers related to Destruction) that could be collected in the Heavenly Jewel Change World.

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei, as the new magistrate, naturally had no money to scrape together.

Although the Shen San World likely had a magistrate in the past, it had been gone for who knows how many years.

There was no one else in the county who could inherit that position.

Therefore, the tax revenue just sat there.

Until today, when Qi Fei, the new magistrate, arrived.

"So, I estimate that you will continue to receive power later on, until you become something like Brahma."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei continued to speculate.

Brahma, a big shot whose level—whether it be Golden Core or something else—was unknown.

He is currently sleeping somewhere in the Himalayas.

The ancestors of Kushan discovered the sleeping Brahma and began to use visualization to create gods, extracting life Essence from him.

Although for Brahma, the amount extracted over several hundred years couldn't even compare to what he recovers in an instant.

But for the Kushan Empire, it was enough to make them the empire with the most Internal Qi Separation experts among the major empires.

Of course, the strength of these "instant" Internal Qi practitioners is quite average.

How should I put it? Kushan is the empire that has had the most Internal Qi Separation heads taken by ordinary soldiers.

The Han Dynasty, Rome, Parthia, and Xiongnu combined don't even add up to Kushan alone.

"I just feel like becoming Brahma won't have a good ending."

Qi Fei recalled the pile of things the three great empires had done to Brahma, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Don't worry, you're still in the developmental stage; even if they wanted to extract anything, they couldn't."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei regained his composure and patted Shen San Qi Fei on the shoulder to comfort him.

A mere Boundary Breaker wants to compare himself to Brahma?

Just the life Essence extracted from that guy is enough to nurture who knows how many Boundary Breakers.

"Well, I really have to thank you for that."

Shen San Qi Fei said.

"You're welcome."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei smiled and gave Shen San Qi Fei a thumbs up.

"..."

Shen San Qi Fei just looked at him like that, saying nothing.

"Ahem, ahem, guess how many beads my cultivation is at now?"

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei felt awkward under the stare and stiffly changed the subject.

Shen San Qi Fei finally withdrew his gaze.

"Ten-Bead?"

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei guessed aloud.

"It is ten-bead, though I am only one level away from eleven-bead."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei completed the answer.

"Honestly, I feel a bit lost right now."

It had only been three months, and he had already leaped from the lowest level of trash to one of the few powerhouses in the human world.

Wasn't this cheat code a bit too overpowered?

"I sincerely suggest you go to work for a couple of days."

Shen San Qi Fei patted Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei on the shoulder with a serious expression.

"As long as you keep yourself busy, you won't have time for such wild thoughts."

Just like he was before he joined Liu Bei.

He would practice his mental power, study military strategy in his spare time, and cultivate his internal qi whenever he had a spare moment.

If he could still have wild thoughts in that state, he would truly be something else.

"Otherwise, how about you switch places with me? My upper limit is high, so I don't have to worry about this."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei added.

On his side, a mere Saint Realm could only act tough within the Material Plane.

If he went to the Four Supreme Planes (the planes corresponding to the four rules), a Saint Realm wouldn't even be considered a person.

"Forget it, I'd rather stay in the Vastness Palace and enjoy my life."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's confusion dissipated in an instant.

"Speaking of which, besides the increase in cultivation, I also obtained three strands of strange power that I can't quite describe."

Two of them were faint and ethereal, as if they might dissipate at any moment.

"Two of them should be your Legion Talent and Mental Talent."

Shen San Qi Fei took over the conversation.

"However, neither of those has fully formed on my side, so it should take even longer for you."

Since he had just broken through, these two powers were likely still in their infancy.

"Possessing both a Mental Talent and a Legion Talent at the same time? You've got something going on there."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Don't flatter me, it's not my doing."

Shen San Qi Fei waved his hand; he had a clear understanding of his own capabilities.

"I suspect one of these is related to Destruction, and the other is related to this Shared Space."

His own aptitude probably didn't even account for one percent of it.

"You wouldn't actually become Brahma, would you?"

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei couldn't help but ask.

If he truly possessed the shared ability to distribute his cultivation to help others break through, wouldn't that be Brahma?

"No, Brahma governs creation; he should be Shiva."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei corrected him.

"Call me Brahma or Shiva, whoever wants to be that can go ahead."

Shen San Qi Fei said indifferently.

"Anyway, I've already decided that all the power that gathers later will be poured into the Nine Phoenix Sword."

The Nine Phoenix was originally formed by the convergence of these messy things, so it was perfect for consuming them.

If he fed all these things to the Nine Phoenix, surely it wouldn't force him to inherit the position of a county magistrate, right?

"I think he's probably not going to escape it."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei whispered into Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's ear, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I think so too."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei matched his volume.

Shen San Qi Fei stared at the two of them with dead fish eyes.

"I think I know what the remaining part of my power is."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's expression shifted, and he immediately brought up another matter.

"I suspect it corresponds to your Nine Phoenix, but since I don't have a weapon spirit on my side, it hasn't taken shape."

"Why not choose a suitable weapon and try merging it into that?"

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei began to offer suggestions.

"Who knows? Maybe some wonderful use will emerge?"

"That makes sense."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei chimed in.

For a moment, the two of them truly acted as if they had been discussing serious business from start to finish.

"We have Physical Jewels, so we won't lack weapons in the future. Why not use your Forming Pen as the carrier?"

Shen San Qi Fei suddenly thought of this point.

His Nine Phoenix was purely an accident; there was no need for the others to create something similar.

Equipment manifested through Physical Jewel Manifestation was the most suitable weapon for them.

Therefore, it would be better to switch to something with auxiliary functions, such as a tool for a secondary profession.

"That makes sense. I'll go give it a try. Wait for my good news."

After saying this, Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei logged off.

"Since that's the case, I'll head out too. The cleanup work for the castle isn't finished yet."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei stated a very legitimate reason.

The commotion caused by the arrival of the Supreme God of Destruction had affected almost the entire castle.

Before Shen San Qi Fei arrived, he had been at home dealing with this matter.

"Wait a moment."

Shen San Qi Fei called out to him.

"I saw over at Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's place that you guys practiced Sharing abilities before, right?"

Previously, for the sake of convenient cultivation, Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's Will Jewel had imprinted a skill or two.

Among them were exactly spirit, time, and space.

These happened to conflict with the slots occupied by the God-Devouring Rat's Innate Ability.

Then, the two Qi Feis discovered that they could adjust the Sharing abilities within a certain range.

For example, they could change the position of the Will Jewel skills being shared, or refuse the sharing altogether.

This discovery was of great significance to Qi Fei.

Qi Fei no longer had to worry that if he were afflicted by some negative effect, it would spread to the others through space.

"What are you trying to say?"

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei swallowed hard.

"Hehehe, since you can refuse my power, then feel my pain."

Shen San Qi Fei let out the voice of an old Soul Hall member.

"Yamero."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei turned and ran.

Just enduring the pain without being able to enjoy the benefits—he didn't want that.

"Hehehe, you can't escape."

To prevent the Sharing ability from fully activating, Shen San Qi Fei detached his own forearm and threw it at Coiling Dragon Qi Fei.

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei couldn't dodge in time and was struck directly on the head by the forearm.

Then, he experienced the entire process of Shen San Qi Fei's breakthrough.

At the same time, he had to refuse Shen San Qi Fei's power to prevent himself from accidentally breaking through.

"Hahaha, how was that throw of mine?"

Shen San Qi Fei laughed heartily.

When Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei returned, this was the strange scene he saw.

Shen San Qi Fei, missing half an arm, stood there laughing up at the sky, looking just like a villain.

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei was lying on the ground, wriggling like a caterpillar, trying to get away from the severed forearm beside him.

"What are you guys doing?"

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei asked curiously.

"Just exchanging feelings. How about you? Any results?"

Shen San Qi Fei picked up his arm and reattached it.

"Yes, the Heavenly Power and the circulation of the Forming Liquid are more coordinated, making it easier to write."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei replied.

"It's just that it doesn't seem to have much spirituality; it can't act on its own like yours."

The weapon spirit of a God Boundary Breaker can fly out and fight on its own, even without a user.

His Forming Pen, however, could not do that.

"As long as it's useful, that's enough."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei climbed up from the ground.

"Besides, considering it needs time to adapt, it's already quite strong right now."

"Indeed."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei chimed in.

"But I'm wondering, how should I use this ability once I have it?"

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei raised this question.

"Just use it on whichever piece of equipment has the higher rank, right? It's not like the side professions on your side require specific gear anyway."

Shen San Qi Fei replied casually.

Side professions in the Coiling Dragon World basically only depend on one's comprehension of the Laws.

If the consumables they craft do not involve the Laws during the refining process, they are useless to a Deity.

As for weapons and equipment.

Artifacts in the Coiling Dragon World are nurtured by the divine power of Deities.

Even a tree branch, if held by a god and used or reinforced over a long period, can reach the standard of a corresponding artifact.

Consequently, the Artifact Refiners common in most worlds were rendered obsolete.

"Makes sense. I'll see if I can get a Godhead Weapon from my teacher later."

Coiling Dragon immediately made his decision.

He wasn't counting on getting an Overgod Artifact.

After all, those items have many restrictions among Overgods, and Beirut likely couldn't just give him one directly.

On the contrary, a Godhead Weapon is not only comparable to an Overgod Artifact in hardness, but it also has no restrictions, making it much more convenient.

Actually, having copied Beirut's Innate Ability, he would be able to craft Godhead Weapons himself once he became a Deity.

But unfortunately, digesting a God Spark takes too long.

Moreover, he still needs to use that portion of God Spark Essence to strengthen his own body.

So, he has no choice but to find a way to fleece his teacher.

"Speaking of which, couldn't you ask for a..."

Just as Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei was about to say something, a person suddenly appeared in the space.

The three Qi Feis were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned excited.

"A newcomer!"

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei lunged forward directly.

His movements were so twisted that he looked like a giant spider.

"Whoa, what's going on?"

The moment the newcomer opened his eyes, he saw someone descending from the sky, pouncing straight at him.

Terrified, he scrambled away, rolling and crawling to escape Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's attack range.

Before he could even feel relieved, another figure rushed up.

This figure launched an attack on the newcomer with a sliding tackle.

The newcomer performed a sudden vertical leap, narrowly dodging the flying tackle.

"Newcomer, why are you running?"

Shen San Qi Fei asked after missing his target.

"You guys are attacking me, and you won't even let me dodge?"

The newcomer shouted back.

"Don't worry, you might not be used to it at first, but you'll soon enjoy it (referring to the Sharing)."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei had somehow circled behind the newcomer and launched a "monkey steals the peach" strike straight at him.

The newcomer watched this scene in utter horror.

In that moment, an unprecedented sense of fear forced him to unleash all of his potential.

And so, the Qi Feis only saw the newcomer bolt into the air at a speed that was almost like teleportation, flying far away into the distance.

"Great, we got too carried away and scared him off."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei said with some regret.

If he had known the guy could run that fast, he wouldn't have bothered controlling his own speed.

"It's fine, he'll probably come back on his own in a while."

Shen San Qi Fei gazed into the distance at the newcomer who was moving further and further away, having absolutely no intention of chasing after him.

"True, once he sees the information in his mind, he'll naturally understand."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei said in agreement.

He might even have to come back and find the three of us... wait, three?

"Hold on, are we missing someone?"

The moment Coiling Dragon Qi Fei's voice fell, a startled scream from the newcomer drifted over from afar.

Without a doubt, that was the handiwork of the vanished Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei.

"I hope the newcomer is alright."

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei and Shen San Qi Fei exchanged a glance and smiled with perfect tacit understanding.
