Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"From my observation, unless an unparalleled Martial Emperor personally acts, otherwise even if a Martial Emperor were to forcibly kill you, this Transformation Path Wondrous Object can revive you once."

The so-called death substitution means that if you are killed by a strong opponent, this Transformation Path Wondrous Object can resurrect you, taking your place in death.

Of course, the death substitution ability of this item also has its limits. If it’s faced with an unparalleled existence like a Martial Emperor that can obliterate even the Great Dao, death substitution is utterly useless.

If a Martial Emperor decides to kill, they can erase every trace and imprint of your existence from the world, and nothing can bring you back to life.

However, if the Martial Emperor does make a move to kill a Saint Realm expert, never mind just substituting once, even if it could substitute a thousand times, it’s still a dead end.

Wei Ying looked at Wei Fan, "According to the rules of our Demon Hunter Organization, items obtained from a mission can be disposed of at one’s discretion without having to turn them in.

In this mission, you contributed the most, having preserved the Transformation Path Wondrous Object and slain three Dharma Demon Saints, so you have the priority to choose the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.

If you choose to keep the Transformation Path Wondrous Object for yourself, you must compensate others accordingly. Without everyone holding back the other Demon Saints, you wouldn’t have obtained the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.

If you choose to give it up, whoever else wants it will compensate you."

Merit is merit, and now those who carried out the mission together are distributing the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.

Wei Fan was indeed tempted by the Transformation Path Wondrous Object, as it was like a second life. Although he had the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell for protection, he didn’t think he was invulnerable.

However, this item was incredibly against the heavens, and he didn’t know how much he would need to compensate others.

"How should I compensate everyone, and how many Spirit Crystals should I provide?"

Wei Fan asked, knowing that compensation would naturally be in Spirit Crystals, and not anything else. If he could provide the corresponding Spirit Crystals, he would keep the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.

Hearing this, Wei Ying pondered and muttered, "A death substitution item, said to be manufacturable only by a Martial Emperor, is invaluable and not available for purchase even with money, and there’s no trading record of such items in the Five Great Domains.

However, if it were to be auctioned, it would definitely fetch tens of millions, even up to a billion Spirit Crystals..."

Wei Fan nodded, definitely willing to purchase it for tens of millions, if he could afford the Spirit Crystals.

Others also nodded. A price of tens of millions to a billion was not high. While it was a astronomical figure for ordinary Saint Realm experts, it was not high for Martial Emperor’s Influence existing for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.

For the sake of an extra insurance for their heirs, they would be willing to spend billions of Spirit Crystals, especially since such an item could be passed on to the next generation if unused.

For a Martial Emperor Family, the cost of cultivating an heir to Great Saint cultivation far exceeds these Spirit Crystals, and the fall would mean more than just a loss of Spirit Crystals; there would be a gap in top-tier experts representing their clan.

Therefore, selling it at an auction could fetch any amount of Spirit Crystals.

After a pause, Wei Ying continued, "Of course, we’re not auctioning it, and the auction house would take a commission. If the price is too high, none of us could afford it and we’d have to send it to the auction house to benefit others.

Let’s set the price at one billion Spirit Crystals. Does anyone have any objections?"

He analyzed the pros and cons before proposing the price, and Li Jianchen, Chang Sheng, and others all shook their heads, showing no objections to the pricing.

Because everyone was eager for this death substitution Transformation Path Wondrous Object, and if Wei Fan couldn’t afford so many Spirit Crystals, others would have a chance.

Of course, this price was also not low.

If it were sent to the auction house, and after they created momentum before the auction, they wouldn’t be able to access the Spirit Crystals in the short term.

"Since no one has any objections, let me further divide the allocations. It was Wei Fan who preserved the Transformation Path Wondrous Object, killed three Dharma Demon Saints, and forced the Demon Fiends to retreat. It’s not excessive for him to take half, right?"

Li Jianchen and the others nodded once more. Wei Fan’s efforts were indispensable in securing the Transformation Path Wondrous Object. If not for his fierce battle against the Two-headed Dog Saint and the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, the Transformation Path Wondrous Object would have been destroyed, and they would have gained nothing. Being able to share fifty million Spirit Crystals now was already a gain.

In past missions, there was no such good fortune, where after risking their lives, they would only earn merit from the Demon Hunter Organization, but no Spirit Crystals to share.

"Everyone agrees, Wei Fan, if you can provide fifty million Spirit Crystals to distribute among us, then the item is yours."

Everyone looked at Wei Fan. Fifty million was not a trivial amount, and many Saint Realm experts might not earn that much in their entire lives. More importantly, Wei Fan didn’t have much backing and likely couldn’t produce that many Spirit Crystals.

Wei Fan naturally agreed to this plan, but he didn’t have that many Spirit Crystals: "Can I offset it with Holy Soldiers?"

He didn’t have many Spirit Crystals, but his Storage Gourd was filled with Holy Soldiers that he had no use for. If it wasn’t for the mission, he would have disposed of the Holy Soldiers in the Holy City.

"You have so many Holy Soldiers?" Wei Ying stared wide-eyed.

Fifty million Spirit Crystals couldn’t be settled with just one or two Holy Soldiers. Even if they were all top-tier Holy Soldiers, it would take about a dozen to be enough.

He had lived for several hundred to a thousand years and had never killed that many Saint Realm experts.

Wei Fan nodded and then, without a word, began to take out Holy Soldiers. While he was in the Wilderness, he obtained Holy Soldiers from the Profound Crane Sect and Guangling Sect, and upon reaching the Beiding Continent, he seized one Holy Soldier from the Zilan Sect.

During an assault by the three major clans of the Five-Colored Demon Bull and Dragon-Horned Deer, he seized three Holy Soldiers, and after becoming a Saint, he continued to seize every enemy’s Holy Soldier all the way to now.

A few moments later, everyone gasped as they looked at the more than twenty Holy Soldiers Wei Fan laid out.

How many people must be killed, how many Saint Realm powerhouses must be slain, to be able to effortlessly produce more than twenty Saint Soldiers? Even the treasure houses of those Martial Emperor Families might not hold so many Saint Soldiers.

Not to mention others, even Wei Ying’s gaze towards Wei Fan changed.

"Please, Commander Wei, calculate. If it’s not enough, I can use the Demon Saint’s body as a deduction."

"Alright!"

Wei Ying stepped down from his position and began to appraise the value of each of these Saint Soldiers. After completing his estimation, he returned two Saint Soldiers to Wei Fan.

They were the Holy Soldier of Guangling Sect and the Dragon Embossed Gilded Bottle of Profound Crane Sect. These two Saint Soldiers, which he initially obtained, were only elementary Saint Soldiers, of the lowest value, and due to their age, were not highly valued.

Soon, Wei Ying and the others began distributing these Saint Soldiers. Li Jianchen was the first to obtain the Transformation Path Wondrous Object; although his cultivation was not as high as everyone else’s, he received an additional Saint Soldier.

Wei Ying held off two Great Saint Level Demon Saints by himself, earning merits second only to Wei Fan and received two more Saint Soldiers. The remaining seven people each received exactly two Saint Soldiers.

Of course, these Saint Soldiers had different levels and were distributed according to their value.

"Come over here, and I’ll show you how to use the substitution ability of this Transformation Path Wondrous Object."

After distributing the Saint Soldiers, Wei Ying called Wei Fan over to tell him how to use the substitution ability of the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.

"All of you, return to the Holy City quickly!"

The matter in Jinzhou was considered settled. However, the Hall Master performed a Transformation Path and slaughtered four Dharma Demon Saints, fearing retaliation from the Demon Fiends. Wei Ying stayed temporarily in Jinzhou with a Dharma Martial Saint, waiting for the Main Hall of the Holy City to send a new Hall Master before returning to the Holy City.

After two transmissions, a day later, Wei Fan, Li Jianchen, Chang Sheng, and Tang Xiao appeared beneath the Divine City of the Mu Family in Qingzhou. After paying with Spirit Crystals, they received their Tokens and returned to Qingzhou City to await the opening of the Transmission Domain Gate to the Holy City.

At night, Wei Fan took out the Transformation Path Wondrous Object and began refining it.

The method of using this thing is actually very simple: irrigate with Essence Blood, then refine with one’s Heart Spirit. Once severely injured and dying, it can restore everything, bringing about resurrection.

"The creation of the Great Dao is indeed awe-inspiring!"

Such a defiant object can only be created by a Martial Emperor powerhouse under the special circumstances of a Transformation Path.

Laying down an aura-isolating array, Wei Fan cut open his finger and started refining, with blood dripping onto the little person.

A dazzling divine light bloomed, and the profound Dao Runes were activated, reviving the dormant Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the little person. As the blood irrigated, the Heart Spirit merged with the little person, and its blurred facial features gradually became clear, becoming identical to Wei Fan.

It seemed to become a second Wei Fan, not only looking exactly the same but even emitting the same presence.

Wei Fan continued refining, using Heart Spirit and Essence Blood infusion, until the little person merged into his body and disappeared.

Of course, it didn’t truly disappear; Wei Fan could feel the little person existing anywhere in his body, as if it was constantly recording everything about him, replicating his Dao and recording the Dao patterns and various Dao Marks on his physical body.

Wei Fan frowned slightly: "Is it resurrecting me, or creating another ’me’?"

But just the next moment, he cast aside this thought.

Whether it truly resurrects him or replicates another him, if he truly gets killed and revived, these are of no consequence.

After all, he wouldn’t disregard his own life just because he has this thing. After all, it took nearly twenty Saint Soldiers to obtain this as a backup plan for the worst-case scenario, not a source of confidence.

[Scripture of the Three Emperors (Condensing Dao Realm)]

[Nine-Nine True Skill (Fifty-seventh Picture)]

[Five Emperors Fist (Minor Achievement)]

...

[Ordinary Power: 5,310,000 years]

[Martial Saint’s Power: 12,000 years]

Composing himself, Wei Fan summoned the panel. The harvest this time was huge. Including the Golden Toad Demon Saint slain with Chang Sheng’s help, there were four Dharma Demon Saints fallen by his hand, gaining a total of twelve thousand years of Martial Saint’s Power, surpassing all his gains since breaking into the Saint Realm.

"Distribute twelve thousand years of Martial Saint’s Power equally between the Nine-Nine True Skill and the Scripture of the Three Emperors, allowing both techniques to break through to the Condensing Dao Realm."

The second realm of the True Qi Martial Arts Saint Realm is called Dharma; the Dharma Realm requires not only the continued refinement of one’s Dao but also the cultivation and strengthening of the Primordial Spirit. The condensed Dao will, in turn, feed the Primordial Spirit, further boosting Will Power.

This realm requires the condensation of one’s Dao to a height of four thousand feet.

The first realm of the Saint Realm, regardless of whether it is Body Refining Martial Dao or True Qi Martial Dao, is called Condensing Dao. The True Qi Martial Dao condenses the Heaven and Earth Dao, using the Heaven and Earth Dao to defeat enemies, while the Body Refining Martial Dao condenses the physical Dao, using Physical Strength to defeat enemies.

However, the name of the second realm differs; the second realm of Body Refining Martial Dao Saint Realm is called Nourishing Spirit.
