A New Psionic Weapon

Inside the spaceship's lounge, Qi Tian sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. His brow furrowed, and his body trembled slightly from time to time.

"This Will Divine Fire really burns painfully."

In Qi Tian's sea of consciousness, the Will Divine Fire hovered above the Lotus Throne Buddha-Demon Statue, burning as it continually scorched the Life Crystal Core within its flames.

The pain was accompanied by a gradual increase in his willpower.

And as his willpower increased, it seemed to provide more fuel for the divine fire, making its soul-burning power even stronger.

Enduring the intense pain in his soul, Qi Tian took a huge metal briefcase out of his Space Ring.

Calling it a briefcase was generous; it was nearly as large as a locker. Inside was the upgraded Fifth-Order Psionic Weapon "Hundred Flowers Bloom" that Tegages had given him.

Qi Tian extended his psionic power toward the case's consciousness lock. After verifying his identity a second time, the case opened automatically.

Inside was a huge golden lotus, 2.5 meters in diameter. Its lotus throne had room to spare even with Qi Tian seated on it, and around the outside were 108 half-closed lotus petals.

"The lotus weapon's design has barely changed. It seems my identity as Buddha Lord really does have a connection to lotuses."

Qi Tian looked at the lotus with satisfaction, then picked up the instruction manual that came with it and leafed through it. The creator listed this time was different, too.

[Psionic Weapon: Hundred Flowers Bloom

A creation of Qishala, the Demon Lotus King, one of the lords under the ruler of the Noah Universe Kingdom. Also known as the "Hundred-Petal Lotus Throne," it is a lotus-shaped Fifth-Order Psionic Weapon.

The weapon consists of two parts: the petals and the lotus throne. It is made up of 10,081 golden leaves in total, and the throne can also be used as a flying psionic weapon.

Every leaf incorporates the two Origin Laws of "Space" and "Gold," and contains incredibly profound Origin Law secret patterns.

Hundred Flowers Bloom has seven forms in total.

First Form (Plucking a Flower Leaf): Controls 81 golden leaves, combining them into a single lotus petal. A Star Level fighter can use it to become invincible among those of the same level.

Second Form (Body-Trapping Flower): Controls 729 golden leaves, combining them into nine petals. The petals resonate with one another, multiplying the attack's range and power.

If a powerful consciousness is further condensed into the shape of a flower bud, it can activate and enhance the Gold Domain, which possesses the "Diamond" attribute. It can be used for both defense and trapping enemies.

Third Form (Lotus Domain): A small lotus made up of 36 petals and 2,916 golden leaves in total. The blossoming golden lotus works in tandem with the Gold Domain to cover a vast area.

Every petal within the domain is filled with a terrifying Sharp Edge, like a blade. Within a 500-meter radius, they create a metal-cutting field with no blind spots.

A Universe Level fighter can use it to become invincible among those of the same level. Even ordinary Domain Lords at the first or second level would struggle to withstand its power.

Fourth Form (Star-Falling Lotus): A lotus 9 meters in diameter, made up of 108 petals. The full power of the Golden Lotus Domain is contained within it.

Combined with the power of the Origin Law of Space, the lotus can be controlled to crash down like a meteor, with enough force to shatter mountains and rivers.

Fifth Form (Lotus Cutting): The 81 golden leaves that make up each petal are scattered and recombined into a small lotus just 10 centimeters across.

The lotus fuses with the Origin Law of Space. As it spins, it forms a circular blade with the power to "cut through space."

This form has three tiers: nine small lotuses in the first, 36 in the second, and 108 in the third.

The 108 golden lotus ring blades produced by the final tier can unleash terrifying power.

Sixth Form (Heaven-Imprisoning Lotus Platform): The complete form, made up of 108 petals and the lotus throne. When the secret patterns are activated, it becomes the "Heaven-Imprisoning Lotus Platform," imbued with World Force.

To an enemy facing the lotus, it is like facing an entire world. Its power is limitless.

Seventh Form (Hundred Flowers Bloom): Divides into a hundred small lotuses, each one like a Small World. The small lotuses can be controlled to attack repeatedly, and their collisions can unleash enough force to cause space to tremble.]

After reading the manual's description of the weapon's seven forms, Qi Tian saw that it seemed similar in some ways to the Yan Shen Armament he had looked up before.

He had entered the Origin Law of Gold first, and his focus in the future would be on comprehending the Origin Law of Space. The Yan Shen Armament would be the most suitable weapon for him.

So when Tegages said he was giving him the new Fifth-Order Psionic Weapon, Hundred Flowers Bloom, Qi Tian had looked up detailed information on the Yan Shen Armament.

"This Demon Lotus King seems to really like lotuses, or perhaps the secret techniques she cultivates are related to them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to develop a lotus-shaped psionic weapon."

"Judging solely by its power, Hundred Flowers Bloom is far inferior to the Yan Shen Armament. Even in its final, seventh form, its combat strength is only about equal to that of a Peak World Lord."

"But the Yan Shen Armament's final, ninth form can rival an Undying."

"Still, Hundred Flowers Bloom is easier to use, and it demands far less comprehension of the two Origin Laws than the Yan Shen Armament. For now, it's quite suitable for me."

After putting the manual away, he focused his consciousness on the new Fifth-Order Psionic Weapon, Hundred Flowers Bloom.

Unlike low-level psionic weapons, which could be used as soon as you picked them up, a "Fifth-Order Weapon" required proper "spiritual nourishment" before it could unleash its power.

Qi Tian planted his Spiritual Imprint on Hundred Flowers Bloom. As he nourished it, he also endured the tempering of the Will Divine Fire.

The C9-Class Spaceship's engine was considerably stronger than that of their previous C1-Class vessel. The trip there had taken half a month, but the return journey took only ten days.

However, they didn't head straight back to Gold Soul Planet. Instead, they went to Red Sand Planet, about 10,000 light-years from Gold Soul Planet, to sign a warehouse rental contract.

"Buddha Lord, the spaceship has left the dark universe and is about to arrive at Red Sand Planet."

Mikita's voice came from the communication screen in the lounge. After receiving the notice, Qi Tian stopped cultivating, left the lounge, and went to the captain's room.

Through the simulated exterior view, Qi Tian saw the reddish planet at a glance. From outer space, there was hardly any green to be seen.

Mikita had already discussed the matter with the Planet Lord in the Virtual Universe, so the signing formalities took very little time.

Inside a huge warehouse covering 5,000 square kilometers stood a residential area three kilometers long and wide.

In its most luxurious villa, an official in charge of the commercial department under the Planet Lord warmly welcomed the group.

"Even a Universe Level powerhouse is merely a follower of Mr. Qi. One can imagine how high this distinguished gentleman's status must be. We must treat him well."

As the commercial minister looked at the several major clients before him, he thought that while renting out the warehouse, he might as well recommend people from the planet to come work there.

"Mr. Qi, may I ask whether you need to hire workers to manage and clean the warehouse?"

Qi Tian shook his head, and Mikita spoke for him. "We'll arrange for slaves to work here."

After Mikita finished speaking, Qi Jingshi operated his Smart Optical Computer and tapped the screen a few times.

Soon, a group of slaves emerged from the C9-Class Spaceship docked outside.

In the commercial minister's presence, one Star Level 9 and thirty Planetary Level 9 slaves flew over to Qi Jingshi.

"Master."
