I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Why did Nuwa and Fu Xi create the Spirit Contract Technique?

To forge contracts with the Nuwa Stone and the Fu Xi Zither.

This is what Nuwa said to Han Zhan at the time.

Originally, there didn’t seem to be any issue, but after Lin Jingxuan’s reminder, it revealed a different layer of meaning.

”They are not human, and their cultivation is not low, so why create a new Spirit Contract Technique?”

Lin Jingxuan adjusted his glasses and continued.

”Therefore, I suspect that the creation of the Spirit Contract Technique, including the contracts with the Nuwa Stone and Fu Xi Zither, is related to one thing.”

As he spoke, he raised a finger.

”Achieving transcendence.”

”Achieving transcendence?”

”Exactly. I once heard from the teacher that Tier Nine is not the true end. Beyond Tier Nine lies transcendence.”

”Every Tier Nine must find their own path to transcendence; otherwise, they cannot achieve it.”

So, Second Brother implies that Nuwa and Fu Xi were already at Tier Nine Peak at the time, and they created the Spirit Contract Technique to find their path to transcendence.

”The Nuwa Stone and the Fu Xi Zither. Their functions are very similar to the world’s origin.”

The Nuwa Stone, the Fu Xi Zither, and those fruits on the Bodhi Treasure Tree each form their own world.

Upon completing exploration of the Fruit World, one obtains a portion of Divine Origin.

Han Zhan never mentioned these details.

Lin Jingxuan, however, arrived at this conclusion through pure speculation and inference!

So, there is a high possibility that the Fu Xi Zither and Nuwa Stone function as origins, and Fu Xi and Nuwa used these origins to break through to the Realm of Transcendence.

Upon realizing this, Han Zhan widened his eyes and looked up at Lin Jingxuan.

Lin Jingxuan met his gaze and nodded.

”Exactly. If the Spirit Contract Technique is truly a method of transcendence, then theoretically, everyone in Great Xia can step into the Realm of Transcendence.”

”Nuwa also mentioned that the form represented by a Contracted Spirit contains the world’s gifts. What the world can gift us is likely various origins.”

”The only thing to note is that origins vary in strength.”

”Moreover, if the difficulty of Nuwa and Fu Xi achieving transcendence through the Spirit Contract Technique is compared to 1, then for the Great Xia Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits now, owing to two people, the difficulty has at least doubled.”

”Unless external forces can help, providing more Power of Origin, or one’s own strength is formidable, with exceptional Contracted Spirit talent, it’s challenging to step into the Realm of Transcendence.”

”But regardless, the Spirit Contract Technique has an inherent advantage over other methods of gaining strength!”

Teacher Li Shutong, due to the demise of his Contracted Spirit and not wanting to find an incompatible substitute, chose not to persist with the Spirit Contract Technique and opted for Close Combat Martial Dao instead.

Thinking this, Han Zhan suddenly realized that he already had, and potentially could have, quite a bit of origin.

What will it be like when I step into the Realm of Transcendence?

Either way, this news is beneficial for Great Xia.

”Do you know why Wei Qing is eager to break through to Tier Nine?”

Lin Jingxuan suddenly changed the subject.

”Great Xia lacks top combat power.” Han Zhan immediately responded.

”Exactly.”

Lin Jingxuan adjusted his glasses again.

”The Longevity Company’s daring to test us so recklessly.”

”Several major forces blatantly encroaching on Great Xia’s territory.”

”It’s because they have Tier Nine, and we do not.”

”If they weren’t cautious of the teacher’s potential backup, these Ancient Arrays alone might not truly hold them back in North County.”

The Longevity Company’s probing has become increasingly frequent.

They seem ready to act at any moment.

After all, in that previous betrayal incident, the other major forces gained benefits, except for them.

The other forces are somewhat preoccupied now and are happy to let the Longevity Company play the role of the front-runner to test the remnants of Great Xia’s strength.

It is due to this realization.

Currently, in North County, the two most likely to break through Tier Nine, Wei Qing and Lin Jingxuan, are under the greatest pressure.

Lin Jingxuan is responsible for overseeing everything, working tirelessly each day, making it difficult to focus solely on his breakthrough.

Therefore, Martial Artist Wei Qing took the lead in taking that step.

”But now it’s different.”

Lin Jingxuan’s tone shifted, pressing his hand against the windowsill.

Looking at the swirling snow outside.

”The Luo Book is a Supreme Treasure. It is highly likely a tool that can also become an origin.”

”I will start preparing for the breakthrough to Tier Nine.”

Lin Jingxuan spoke with an unparalleled confidence.

As if, to him, breaking through Tier Nine was as simple as drinking water.

The Spirit Contract Technique and the Luo Book had given him immense confidence.

This confidence also stemmed from Han Zhan.

”Brothers united, we will protect North County, protect Great Xia.”

Han Zhan also walked to the window.

He reached out his hand, clasping it with Lin Jingxuan’s.

”Undeniably!”

...

At Han Zhan’s place.

Gabriel, Lucifer, and a nun from the Sacred Heart Monastery lay by the window, bored, gazing at the snowy landscape outside.

”Why isn’t Ah Zhan back yet? It’s almost midnight.”

”Thankfully, the Energy Bricks have already been distributed; otherwise, wearing so many clothes, we’d freeze to death.”

”Is this what you call cosplay?”

Shang Siteng looked down at her sinful nun outfit.

”So why am I playing the nun?”

”Because it suits your temperament.” ”Lucifer” Li Lingzhen appraised Shang Siteng and nodded in satisfaction.

”Originally, this nun outfit from the Holy War theme was for Sister Jin, but she’s not here for now.”

”Looks like we need to buy another Holy Knight outfit for Sister Jin.”

”...”

As they were speaking, the bedroom door opened.

The three of them shivered simultaneously.

After parting from Lin Jingxuan, Han Zhan was filled with zeal and ambition, ready to make a mark in North County.

But upon returning home and opening the bedroom door, his heated enthusiasm instantly took a backseat.

Even the idea of making a mark had tossed aside the notion of ’mark’ altogether!

”Lingzhen, are you here for material again?”

”My writing is stuck; I’m lacking inspiration, here to glean from you.” Li Lingzhen’s response was succinct and direct, Lucifer’s devilish tail swaying.

”Youwei, as the Main Palace Lady, how can you play around like them?”

”And Siteng. You, this nun outfit is quite something, very distinctive.”

”Ah Zhan, enough of your nonsense.”

”In the end, can you do it or not?”

North County was still blanketed in heavy snow.

The Energy Bricks Han Zhan brought back were immediately distributed to various cities.

After obtaining the Energy Bricks, the city’s energy supply was maintained, and households regained their heating.

The Four Seasons Spring Array operated once more, and long-frozen streams started flowing again,

Han Zhan’s return warmed every inch of land, every river, every shaded path.

Winter in North County would no longer be cold.
