The Black Bead

Within the Purple Mansion Dantian, that Black Bead was perfectly round.

It was the size of an infant's fist, and inside, it seemed to contain tiny specks of starlight.

As that radiance continuously bloomed, an inexplicable, cooling sensation washed over him, imbuing his soul and true spirit.

That feeling, akin to an epiphany, made Lei Zhan's cultivation of the divine ability Three Heads and Six Arms as easy as eating or drinking.

"Three Heads and Six Arms!"

"Open!"

In the quiet room, Lei Zhan stood up, his heart stirring with a thought.

Rumble!

Lei Zhan's body swayed, and immediately, four additional arms sprouted from his sides, while two more heads grew from his shoulders.

The four newly grown arms were exactly like real ones. Two of them were even gripping a long spear as thick as a child's arm.

"The divine ability Three Heads and Six Arms, mastered!"

Lei Zhan's voice echoed throughout the quiet room, and a smile graced all three of his identical, handsome faces.

"With the blessing of that bead, cultivating such a divine ability is surprisingly simple!"

Lei Zhan's heart stirred, and he immediately looked at the Black Bead within his Purple Mansion Dantian.

The bead was smooth and lustrous, the black light remained, but the specks of starlight inside had already dimmed.

"Hm? The starlight is gone?" Lei Zhan immediately investigated.

"It seems that the reason this treasure could emit light and pull me into a state near epiphany stems from the starlight within this bead."

"A single epiphany while comprehending Three Heads and Six Arms has caused this bead to dim. This treasure has various restrictions on its use."

Lei Zhan pondered.

"But this is enough. Originally, I knew nothing about the Three Heads and Six Arms divine ability, yet now I have mastered it in just one hour. Such a treasure, even if only used at critical moments, is already a tremendous stroke of fortune."

Lei Zhan shook his head, then with a thought, the Black Bead appeared in the palm of one of his hands.

Whoosh~~~

Instantly, countless strands of pure Xiantian Origin Energy enveloped the entire Black Bead.

"This... as expected! I can store it in my Purple Mansion Dantian, but I cannot refine it with Origin Energy?"

Lei Zhan's gaze fell upon the Black Bead. Although his Qi Refinement was only at the Xiantian level, his exceptionally pure Origin Energy could not penetrate the Black Bead in the slightest.

Even with more powerful magic treasures, such as the Human-Grade Magic Treasure in his hand, while his Xiantian cultivation was also insufficient to refine it, the sensation it gave was completely different.

He could not refine the Human-Grade Magic Treasure simply because his Origin Energy level was insufficient.

But this Black Bead could not be refined because his Origin Energy could not even touch it.

"Mm. It is a pity. Only when divine power reaches the level of a Celestial God can one refine magic treasures as easily as with magic power. As for Divine Sense, or even the more profound Heart Force, those are not things I can touch at my current level," Lei Zhan sighed inwardly.

"Fortunately, being able to store it in my Purple Mansion Dantian saves me a lot of trouble."

After a brief attempt, Lei Zhan chose to give up.

Taking this bead out of his Purple Mansion Dantian just now was already an extremely risky act.

As for further attempts, such an incredibly precious treasure—which might even be linked to the secret of how he arrived in this world—was naturally not something to be investigated deeply at this moment.

"This little fellow Lei Zhan has talent far exceeding Juhua's." In the void of the Water Mansion, a phantom of a Yellow-Haired Great Bear gazed silently.

He was the Magic Treasure Spirit of the entire Water Mansion, and the Water Mansion itself was equivalent to his body. Naturally, the Yellow-Haired Great Bear knew everything that happened within his body like the back of his hand.

"Juhua has picked up a good disciple for nothing! This Lei Zhan entered the threshold of the Great Dao at four years old and even comprehended a Domain Realm of the Dao; that is extremely rare even among Gods and Demons."

"Now, he is just as gifted in learning divine abilities. Three Heads and Six Arms is quite cumbersome for a Purple Mansion cultivator, yet he mastered it in just one hour."

"His aptitude must be the strongest among all the successors since the Master created the Water Mansion." The Yellow-Haired Great Bear fell into reminiscence. "Master, the appearance of this little fellow makes it highly likely that he will become your successor."

"I hope... he can eventually lead me to find you!"

His master had been the only one since the birth of the Xiantian Spirit Treasure, the Star-Plucking Mansion, in the ancient era.

He was the Daoist Sanshou—the Master of Star-Plucking Mansion—whose fame from his battles and slaughters was known throughout the entire Three Realms.

Even after endless ages had passed, he, the Magic Treasure Spirit, still fretted over news of his master, whose life or death remained unknown.

"Hm? What is this little fellow doing?"

Suddenly, the Yellow-Haired Great Bear's gaze sharpened.

In the quiet room, the Yellow-Haired Great Bear could sense an incredibly weak strand of Origin Energy continuously surging from Lei Zhan's palm.

The Origin Energy diffused, seemingly surrounding something, and at a rapid speed, it formed a hollow ball the size of a fist.

The Yellow-Haired Great Bear wondered, "This Lei Zhan is quite strange. It looks as if he is holding a bead in his hand."

"However, the Qi Refinement technique Juhua took out, although it is only a fragmented manual, produces Origin Energy that far exceeds other Qi Refinement techniques of the same level!"

"I wonder where he obtained such a profound technique." The Yellow-Haired Great Bear shook his head, then ceased paying attention to Lei Zhan.

Unless necessary, he had no penchant for prying into the privacy of a little fellow.

Inside a vast and enormous quiet room, everything was incomparably ancient and simple.

In the center of the room were layers of steps, and atop them sat a simple ink-colored jade bed, emitting a bone-chilling cold.

On the ink-colored jade bed, a thin, elderly man in Daoist robes sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed. This thin, elderly man was none other than Immortal Juhua.

Suddenly.

"Hm? This fluctuation of elemental energy..." Immortal Juhua's slightly closed eyes snapped open, a trace of surprise in his gaze.

"This fluctuation of elemental energy originates from the quiet room where my disciple is staying!"

With a flicker of thought, Immortal Juhua released his divine sense, instantly enveloping the majority of the Water Mansion.

"This is... Three Heads and Six Arms!" Immortal Juhua exclaimed, his voice laced with a hint of imperceptible shock.

Under the probe of his divine sense, every detail was laid bare.

He saw that in the quiet room where Lei Zhan resided, a young man had manifested the Three Heads and Six Arms, a smile gracing all three identical faces.

"My disciple has actually managed to reach the entry level of this Three Heads and Six Arms in less than a single day?"

Immortal Juhua could confirm that this was his disciple's first time practicing the divine ability of Three Heads and Six Arms.

After all, how could a mere God and Devil Body Refining Path cultivator at the Purple Mansion level easily deceive a Loose Immortal who had lived for millions of years?

"This talent..." Immortal Juhua was momentarily speechless. "However, since my disciple has cultivated the Three Heads and Six Arms, it seems he is still lacking two suitable Divine Demon Blood-Refined Divine Weapons."

Immortal Juhua whispered softly, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"As his master, I cannot be too stingy. Lest I be ridiculed by that Yellow-Haired Great Bear later on..."

Within this ancient and tranquil quiet room, his voice grew lower and lower, soon falling into silence.

As for the young man manifesting the Three Heads and Six Arms, under the divine sense of a million-year-old Loose Immortal, aside from the peculiarity of his elemental energy forming spheres, he remained entirely unremarkable from start to finish.
