Master of Kaidan-Chapter 493: Gone!
Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Gone!
After basking in pleasure for a while, Feng Xue gradually calmed herself, although the Heavenly Court, as a group of Kaidan, was obviously more prestigious and effective than Hundred Tales by more than just one level, the expansibility of it was not as good as Hundred Tales...even less convenient than Libra.
Because it was almost locked in this world.
The fundamental reason she was able to create the Kaidan of Heavenly Court in this world was due to the accumulation of two predecessors and their being thoroughly dead.
In another world, for Feng Xue to popularize the concept of Heavenly Court in a world without an Immortal Cultivation System, the required time was basically calculated in centuries, although, for the Longevity Species, this span of time wasn’t too great, but since Feng Xue had been a Kaidan for less than ten years, transitioning into the mindset of the Longevity Species clearly needed quite some time.
Moreover, in those worlds that already possessed a Spiritual Cultivation civilization, the Heavenly Court couldn’t be established. First, if it were a world of cultivation novels, the Divine Tao System was the worst in the cultivation system, considered as part of the "abysmally spirit-hard-to-be-saint" group, which couldn’t stir up any waves at all.
And if it was a traditional mythical world, the Heavenly Court itself already existed. If the Heavenly Court wasn’t a Kaidan, then obviously Feng Xue couldn’t defeat it, and if it was a Kaidan, it would lead to the resurrection of the Ancestor Kaidan within her own body.
Even at this moment, if she returned to Chen Xiyao, she wouldn’t dare to casually use the powers of the Master of the Heavenly Court, lest she inadvertently caused the resurrection of the Ancestor Kaidans of the Heavenly Court and Underworld.
"So, does setting up this Kaidan mean I’ve just gained a capability similar to a war projection?"
Feng Xue sighed, then recognized a somewhat frustrating issue, which was...
She couldn’t use Abe anymore.
Well, being a Supreme God, how could something that was effective only when of lower statuses work?
While she could now directly summon the ship-cannon level Purple Cloud Divine Thunder and bombard her target, Kaidan was tricky—you never knew what kind of outrageous powers it might have, like something akin to "Heart Over Matter," which could absurdly claim, "The ship cannon is a beam weapon, so I can use a mirror to reflect it," and simply reflect it back, or it could straightforwardly be something like "Technology Weapons Invalid" (common in various horror and thriller genres).
However, this distress didn’t last long, as Feng Xue quickly thought of a solution—
With a wave of her hand, a thick tome appeared in her hand, heavy enough to kill a person if used as a battering ram. She didn’t make any unnecessary movements, just flipped directly to the end, pulled out an expensive steel pen, and wrote on the newly formed blank page:
"Legally speaking, the status of the Emperor of Heaven is equivalent to that of the mortals."
As the final stroke landed, the originally black ink instantly dyed a light gold, merging with the contents at the front of the book, becoming part of the Heavenly Precepts.
Yes, what she had just summoned was one of the attached phantom objects of Phantom Object·Heavenly Palace—the Heavenly Precepts.
Although typically, the Heavenly Precepts couldn’t be casually amended, who was she, the Supreme God and the Master of Heavenly Court?
After adding such a rule to the Heavenly Precepts, whenever Feng Xue wanted to use Abe, all she needed was to hold the Heavenly Precepts in one hand.
Do you even understand the value of "acting according to the law"?!
The only pity was that the Heavenly Precepts could only bind the members within the group Kaidan of the Heavenly Court; otherwise, if Feng Xue simply wrote "All females must unconditionally obey the Emperor of Heaven" combined with the Feminization Filter, wouldn’t that perfectly hypnotize the story’s plot?
...
While Feng Xue was sorting through her phantom objects to ensure she still met the usage requirements of the phantom objects, in the distant West...
"Senior Brother, something terrible has happened!"
The pleasantly-faced, rotund Taoist rushed up the mountain in a slight panic. The gaunt Taoist, seated on the lotus platform, looked sad, but his tone was very calm—
"Stay calm, explain slowly."
"Our Master’s Reincarnation Platform..."
"Now is the time of Divine Enthronement mentioned in our Master’s final command. It’s normal for the Investiture of the Gods’ list and Sealing God Platform to shake and move the Reincarnation Platform," Zhunti interrupted in an unhurried manner, seemingly having anticipated this all. But Zhunti, differing from his usually pleasant demeanor, with a face as saddened as that of Jieyi, said:
"It’s not a mere disturbance—it has disappeared! The Reincarnation Platform is gone!"
"What?" The originally composed Jieyi’s face turned from sorrow to panic in an instant, although quickly suppressed, his significantly hastened speech pace still spoke volumes.
"It’s gone, but the formation that transfers souls is still there. It doesn’t seem to have been stolen, more like it vanished into thin air."
Hearing such an answer from Zhunti, Jieyi, his face still filled with sorrow, reproached:
"Nonsense, that Reincarnation Platform is a Merit Treasure left by our Master. Before his demise, he had already refined it completely; it hasn’t changed in the slightest in five hundred years. How could it simply vanish?"
"If you don’t believe me, you may follow me." Zhunti also looked aggrieved. He promptly walked ahead, and Jieyi, seeing this, immediately followed. It wasn’t long before they arrived beneath Sumeru Mountain, where at a glance, they saw thousands of Spiritual Bodies wandering aimlessly over a formation that covered a huge underground cavern.
And there, the Reincarnation Platform that originally transformed the arriving souls into Spiritually Cultivated beings had disappeared without a trace.
"What should we do now?" Seeing the Spiritual Bodies still streaming out, Jieyi truly realized the Reincarnation Platform was gone. His expression grew even more sorrowful than before. It was such that any mortal who glanced at him would feel like they had swallowed bile.
Yet, he didn’t care at all. He waved his hand to shut down the grand summoning array and, using a Magic Treasure, collected thousands of souls. He then started inspecting the base of the formation to look for clues.
The Reincarnation Platform was gone, his first thought was actually that his junior brother might be committing an inside theft. But upon contemplation, it seemed unnecessary; after all, the Reincarnation Platform was merely a soul transformation device. To the mortal souls, it could grant Spiritual Cultivation aptitude, but to them, already possessing the highest native talent of "Heavenly People," it was utterly useless.
As for building power, they were already using this device to transform disciples and establish the Western Religion. What more could stealing it achieve? Transform a few more people?
But if it is said to be unimportant, that is also not true. After all, if the Reincarnation Platform could transform three thousand ’Heavenly People’, it could become a Merit Treasure, helping their Master to rebuild his Merit Golden Body and be reborn.
Usually, those mortal souls would barely qualify for the Mortal World Realm, not even reaching the Asura level, at most becoming disciples. However, with the talent pool from the Jie Sect, which performs the ritual of thousands of immortals coming to the court, maybe they could meet the criterion.
However, with the capacity of the Western Religion, they definitely wouldn’t dare to trouble the Jie Sect. Luckily, the prophecy about Divine Enthronement was mentioned in their Master’s last will, and now, the Covenant of Divine Enthronement had arrived, but the Reincarnation Platform was lost...
Jieyi turned the entire grand formation inside out and despite a long search, couldn’t find a single clue, subsequently losing all demeanor of a leader of the Western Religion. He sat down abruptly on the ground, his eyes blank, muttering:
"Zhunti..."
"Senior Brother, I’m here."
"Master used to say when we couldn’t find the main culprit behind an incident, we should start looking from those who stand to benefit the most from it. Tell me, with the Reincarnation Platform gone, who stands to gain the most?"
