Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Beidou Purple Micro Celestial Spirit

According to some ancient records in the Divine Martial Realm, faint traces of a domineering and ferocious Gang Evil Qi had once manifested in this small world’s core, a place where the stars converged.

However, Xu Yunfan knew it was difficult to say for certain whether the phenomenon mentioned in the records was truly the Beidou Pojun Gangsha—a force born of the Beidou Pojun Evil Star, governing slaughter and destruction.

Ultimately, the reason for this stemmed from the very nature of this realm.

The Divine Martial Realm was a sealed Small World Heaven, one based on the "Heaven is Round and Earth is Square" cosmology.

Although it displayed a starry sky, it was merely an illusory reflection of power from galaxies on a higher plane. The starlight projected here was not the true Origin of the stars themselves.

Now that he was under the protection of the Divine Martial Realm’s Celestial Dao, he might be able to find the place where this supposed Gang Evil Qi formed, if he just performed some deductions.

What frustrated Xu Yunfan, however, was that finding it was one thing; whether it even existed was another matter entirely.

After all, the Divine Martial Realm was a Small World Heaven with a "Heaven is Round and Earth is Square" cosmology; obtaining power from the stars beyond its sky would be difficult.

He would have to prepare some backup plans.

The next best option was a top-tier Evil Qi derived from the Geng Metal Origin of the Western White Tiger’s seven constellations.

The White Tiger Geng Metal Fiend.

The Western White Tiger governs slaughter, and Geng Metal is the epitome of hardness and sharpness, containing an aura of grim desolation and unparalleled acuity.

This Evil Qi was exceptionally pure. Once refined, his True Essence would be tempered like Divine Gold, becoming unstoppably sharp. It could also nourish his True Martial Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, imbuing the blade’s edge with the Supreme Sharp Gold Law and allowing it to obliterate all obstacles.

It represented the pinnacle of ’hardness’ and ’sharpness.’

The third choice originated from the Gui Water Origin of the Northern Black Tortoise’s seven constellations.

The Black Tortoise Gui Water Fiend.

The Northern Black Tortoise is of the water element, its nature both Supreme Yin and Cold, as well as supremely gentle and resilient. Its Evil Qi contains the power of the abyss. It governs protection and nourishment; it can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Gui Water is the Supreme Yin, yet it can nurture all of creation, for it contains Vitality. It possesses formidable defensive, sealing, and corrosive-assimilative powers.

Choosing this Evil Qi would greatly enhance his resilience, Recovery Power, and ability to control water and resist cold. It would make his Dao Foundation more complete and enduring, balanced in both offense and defense.

At this thought, Xu Yunfan sighed.

’It’s so hard to choose. I want them all, but I have none of them.’

’System, can’t you just drop these in my lap? Do I really have to hunt for them one by one?’

System: "..."

’Does a top-tier Gang Evil Qi like this really exist in the Divine Martial Realm?’

Despite his skepticism, the fact that the Divine Martial Realm could ’nurture’ a scripture like the True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture—one that pointed directly to the Origin of the Divine Martial itself—meant it was almost certain to exist.

Otherwise, the Divine Martial Daoist Master wouldn’t have stayed in the Divine Martial Realm for so long.

Xu Yunfan let out a breath and mulled it over.

All three—the tyrannical slaughter of the Beidou Pojun Gang, the blatant sharpness of the White Tiger Geng Metal Fiend, and the profound resilience of the Black Tortoise Gui Water Fiend—were exceptionally rare, top-tier Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Evil Qi. Each had its own merits, and all of them were highly compatible with the *True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture*.

Obtaining any one of them would allow him to securely break through to the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, greatly increasing his power.

However, deep in Xu Yunfan’s mind, there was another name that ranked above these three—a name that was almost legendary, one that made his heart tremble.

The Beidou Purple Micro Celestial Spirit!

The *True Scripture* vaguely mentioned that this was an Absolute Grade among Celestial Spirit Qi—a true Emperor’s Gang!

It was not born of ordinary stars, but originated directly from the Midheaven North Pole Emperor Star—the Primordial Qi at the core of Ziwei Heaven!

The Ziwei Star is the center of the heavens, the Sect Leader of Myriad Phenomena! Its energy is the breath of the "Emperor’s Throne," the manifestation as qi of the supreme authority that governs the Stars of the Celestial Sphere and commands the cosmic order!

This type of Gang Qi had already surpassed the scope of ordinary "Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends." It symbolized a portion of the Great Dao’s authority and contained the supreme "Power of the Origin of the North Pole."

It represented not only power, but status!

This was a supreme Golden Nature!

It also represented the potential to form a Golden Core.

Crucially, even with the vast heritage and endless history of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, there were almost no clear records of this Ziwei Celestial Spirit ever being created or acquired.

At this thought, Xu Yunfan had a revelation. ’No wonder a minor Small World Heaven like the Divine Martial Realm caught the eye of a True Monarch. Perhaps this place is special.’

Its creation required extremely harsh conditions and could not occur through this realm’s natural processes. It most likely required a Supreme Great Divine Power User to forcibly intervene with the Heaven and Earth Laws, reaching into the depths of the outer cosmos to extract it from the active Origin of the Ziwei Emperor Star!

The process was perilous and unpredictable. The slightest misstep would trigger a backlash from the Emperor Star Force, resulting in the utter annihilation of both body and soul.

For this reason, its value was immense. Once refined, it would not only grant the user Vast Magical Power, a powerful physical body, and a resilient Divine Soul far exceeding their peers, but it would also fundamentally elevate the cultivator’s Life Chart Foundation and Dao Foundation Tier. It contained a trace of the Supreme Heavenly Dao Authority over dominion, slaughter, and suppression.

This was a supreme divine artifact for forging an eternal Dao Foundation!

Then, a thought that was both absurd and yet perfectly logical surfaced in Xu Yunfan’s mind.

’In the grand scheme of an existence like True Monarch Qing Yuan, if he wants to cultivate the "most perfect fruit," what would be the best "nourishment"?’

’Would a merely top-tier Gang Evil suffice?’

’I’m afraid that wouldn’t be enough!’

’Only the Ziwei Celestial Spirit, which symbolizes the Emperor Star’s Origin and can fully unlock the deepest mysteries of the *True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture*, would be worthy of the Divine Martial Realm nursery that the True Monarch painstakingly established. Only it could nurture an Ultimate Fruit that would tempt even a True Monarch!’

’If I were to take it... no, I probably wouldn’t even have to. That ’True Monarch’ would surely find a way to deliver this Gang Qi right to me.’

"Right now, in the Divine Martial Realm, there is definitely one..."

This fragment of information echoed in Xu Yunfan’s mind.

’The Divine Martial Realm... a mysterious Secret Realm set up by a True Monarch Level being, one that can sever all outside perception... isn’t it the perfect incubator for hiding and cultivating this Absolute Grade Ziwei Celestial Spirit?’

’He put the "bait"—the Innate Golden Nature—and the "catalyst" needed to cultivate the "fruit"—the Beidou Purple Micro Celestial Spirit—all in one place!’

The sheer scale of True Monarch Qing Yuan’s methods, the meticulous and cold-hearted nature of his scheming, was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

He had calculated everything: that Xu Yunfan would come here, that he would choose the path of the True Martial, and perhaps even that he would eventually discover the truth but be powerless to resist...

Or perhaps he didn’t need to calculate anything. He only had to plant the seedling. Anyone who succeeded in cultivating the True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture and wished to advance further would naturally have no choice but to return to the Divine Martial Realm.

In the end, it was all so that this Ziwei Celestial Spirit could be absorbed and refined by him, causing this "medicinal seedling" to grow more "robust and perfect," until it was finally ripe for the picking!

Xu Yunfan naturally understood the implication.

’How could this be called a fortunate encounter?’

’It’s clearly poison coated in honey, a sweet fruit dangling over a trap!’

’To eat it means to fall deeper into the abyss of his control, raising my own "medicinal properties" to their absolute peak.’

’But what if I don’t eat it?’

His gaze swept across the golden, oppressive, cage-like lands of the Divine Martial Realm.
