The glorious victory of this great battle saw the flying giant ship carry everyone back to Meteor Island for a temporary respite.
The flying ship had also sustained some damage during this battle and required inspection by the artifact refiners.
Zhu Yu continued to follow the flying ship back to Meteor Island after the battle.
Ever since his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, he appeared even more handsome, and his return drove countless young men and women into a frenzy.
Xiao Fei was currently in his spatial dimension, with a large pile of demon corpses stacked before him.
This was the largest haul of corpses he had ever obtained, especially with the inclusion of three Nascent Soul stage corpses.
Xiao Fei was already envisioning the benefits he would reap from sacrificing so many precious items.
He commanded a group of puppets to move all the corpses to the jade plaza and stack them neatly. Then, he took out a pile of storage bags and poured the collected demon crystals and similar items onto them.
Some demons, upon being slain, left behind only demon crystals and other such items.
After all the demon crystals were piled up, the jade plaza was already stacked like a small mountain, with the central jade altar nearly submerged by the corpses.
Xiao Fei cast a satisfied glance at the demon corpses before composing himself and adjusting his state.
His fingers moved in rapid succession, weaving intricate runes that seeped into the jade altar.
Soon, the spatial dimension was illuminated by a dazzling white light, blinding Xiao Fei for a long time.
Concurrently, in another world, ethereal and filled with auspicious clouds and mythical beasts.
An elder with white hair, a white beard, and white robes, who had been meditating and comprehending the Heavenly Dao, suddenly leaped up as if his backside were on fire.
"That aura has appeared again!"
"That's right, it's the Jade Disk of Creation!"
Golden light flashed in the white-haired elder's eyes as he followed the aura, traversing countless worlds and crossing numerous karmic entanglements, sensing towards the source of the aura.
However, before he could locate the source of this aura, the aura of the Jade Disk of Creation mysteriously vanished once more.
"But the general direction is established!"
The white-haired elder took out a flying sword, injected a piece of information into it, and the sword shot out with the information.
Having done this, the white-haired elder sat back down on a large rock, continuing his meditation on the Heavenly Dao.
...
On a golden mountain peak, a peerless woman gently swayed a fluffy tail.
Before her stood an ancient, wrinkled old woman, with a crystal-like sphere slowly rotating before her.
The old woman was completely focused on the crystal ball, occasionally exhaling primal energy onto it.
At this moment, the old woman suddenly seemed to suffer a severe blow, spitting out a mouthful of old blood onto the crystal ball. She then slumped onto the table, her aura completely gone, having died on the spot.
The peerless woman checked and found that the old woman had indeed died from excessive exertion. She could only sigh and push the old woman's corpse aside.
Picking up the crystal ball from the table, she probed it with her divine sense.
"What a pity, I couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the Jade Disk of Creation. This vast area contains over three thousand small worlds, making it difficult to find!"
The peerless woman, holding the crystal ball, entered a secret chamber. She plucked a small tuft of fur from her tail, blew a breath of immortal energy onto it, and tossed it onto a blood-stained spot within the crystal ball.
...
In short, Xiao Fei's sacrifice this time involved more and more precious materials, and the sacrificial ritual lasted longer.
However, during the sacrifice, a terrifying Heavenly Might descended, nearly scaring Xiao Fei to the point of wetting himself.
Fortunately, this was his spatial dimension, and he was its master, able to mobilize a small portion of the spatial dimension's or the Jade Disk's power.
This Heavenly Might appeared through the altar and swept across the jade plaza, seemingly seeking to pierce through everything. Just as it was about to extend beyond the altar's range, Xiao Fei mobilized the spatial power to resist it with all his might.
After exerting immense effort and nearing his breaking point, the white light dissipated, and the powerful Heavenly Might finally vanished.
At this moment, Xiao Fei collapsed onto the ground, utterly spent, unable to muster even a sliver of strength. He had never felt so exhausted and powerless, as if all his strength had been drained.
The aura from before was too terrifying; the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators he had encountered were not even fit to carry its shoes.
After a long while, he struggled to his feet and walked to the jade altar.
On the jade altar rested a bronze bowl.
Xiao Fei picked up the bronze bowl with a hint of confusion. As he attempted to probe it with his divine sense, a surge of information flooded into his sea of consciousness.
Upon receiving this information, Xiao Fei's eyes lit up with extreme joy.
This bronze bowl was not a magic treasure, but a spiritual treasure.
Previously, the entire Eastern Continent had only possessed three spiritual treasures, with the three major powers each holding one, maintaining a state of balance.
Later, when Huang Feifei opened the gate to the small world's secret realm, another spiritual treasure leaked out, which led to a great war in the cultivation world.
The preciousness of spiritual treasures was self-evident; the Eastern Continent was incapable of refining such artifacts.
The emergence of every spiritual treasure would invariably cause chaos in the cultivation world.
Xiao Fei held the spiritual treasure bronze bowl in his hands, constantly caressing it with one hand.
This item could be used for defense or for trapping enemies, making it quite versatile.
Such a fine item naturally needed to be refined quickly, integrated with himself, and become a part of his strength.
Xiao Fei took it out of the spatial dimension, dripped a drop of his essence blood onto it, and began the refinement process.
Normally, refining a magic treasure only required a single drop of essence blood. The previous "Bloodthirsty" evil blade had nearly drained him dry, which was an exceptional circumstance.
The treasure bestowed by the upper realm this time was quite normal. It only took three days, and he successfully refined the spiritual treasure.
In the secret chamber, he tried summoning it, and it transformed into a giant bowl.
The primary use of this bowl was to cover people or beasts. Covering oneself provided defense, capable of blocking any attack from the outside.
He tested it by unleashing a group of Nascent Soul puppets to attack his bronze bowl fiercely. After a long period of bombardment, and with significant consumption of spirit stones, the bronze bowl remained completely undamaged.
Xiao Fei was highly satisfied with this function of the bowl. The next time he encountered that bone-spiked demon, he could summon the bronze bowl to protect his entire body, ensuring that not a single spike could pierce him again.
Furthermore, this large bronze bowl could also be used to cover enemies. Once trapped within the bowl, no one could escape unless they possessed the strength to shatter it.
Xiao Fei tested all the functions of the bronze bowl. He discovered that while spiritual treasures were excellent, they were not yet something he could easily wield at his current level, as they consumed an immense amount of spiritual power and divine sense.
