《Overlord in Cultivation》98. The Star!
Advertisement
The Implement Constructing Realm, as its name implied, was a cultivation stage where one should refine his own life implement!
The strength of the implement was related to the level of cultivation!
Once the implement was completely refined, it would grow gradually more powerful as the cultivator leveled up in the future, probably accompanying its owner for the rest of his life. Certainly, the power of the implement was also related to the material used.
Su Yan was shocked by Tie Baocai’s words. To his surprise, this Star was actually refined from a complete immemorial planet of life.
What if the earth was refined into a Star? Su Yan dared not even think about it. He had a sense of crisis: If one day, the earth, an immemorial planet of life, was strong enough but without powerful protectors, would it be refined into a Star by someone mighty in cosmos?
“It should be the best Star!”
Zu Yan was so excited as he recognized what it was. Generally speaking, the strength of the Star was related to the power of the immemorial planet of life. The best Star was even more terrible, for its size was about a thousand times larger than the earth!
It was too difficult to refine such an immemorial planet of life. Only the extremely strong existence could exert his great divine power to refine it, using it as the most precious treasure!
However, the Star was different to Zu Yan and others because it could be refined into a life implement, or even a dozen implements!
“Almost a dozen implements?” Su Yan was emotionally stirred and tempted. Such an unrivaled treasure was worth fighting for with all his might!
Its value was so amazing that it could even be sold at an unimaginably high price in planets with higher cultivation civilization.
It was so surprising. Only the inheritor of the super power was qualified to use this kind of resource. Actually, even if someone was qualified to use a nonesuch Star, he could not necessarily buy one because the Star was quite rare!
Zu Yan didn’t expect to find a Star here, which led him to speculate that a super nonesuch must have appeared on earth before. Thus, the earth was now a priceless treasure indeed!
As long as his cultivation was peerless, he could unearth more and more treasures, or even celestial treasures of the nonpareil, which was something that he dared not even imagine before!
Zu Yan’s eyes were filled with desire. He had never thought that he could meet such a great opportunity, which appeared only once in a thousand years! Once the earth was under control, he would force some people to be slaves and work for him, digging mines and doing drudgery.
“Forget the Star. Where is the golden elixir you robbed just now?” Tie Baocai bared his teeth and asked Su Yan.
Hearing this, Su Yan looked at Tie Baocai warily, “Baocai, being a man, you should be kind and honest. There must be some secrets in the Eight-diagrams Furnace, or you won’t take it away. Don’t you have to tell me the truth?”
“Huh, I’m a Beast God, not a human!” Tie Baocai shook his head and continued, “I advise you to take a good look at the golden elixir. Don’t blame me for not reminding you, not everyone can take it away. You’d better let me keep it for you.”
“Give it to you? It would be like throwing a meat-stuffed bun at a dog, how could I get it back?”

Though Su Yan didn’t believe it, his soul emerged and entered the aquamarine phoenix hairpin.
When seeing the golden elixir, Su Yan’s face changed. The efficacy inside the elixir was dissipating autonomously. Originally, it was glittering and full, but now it had lost a lot of efficacy.
However, to his surprise, the dissipated efficacy was absorbed by the phoenix hairpin which seemed not just a storage space!
“Tell me the truth!” Su Yan queried.
“This elixir needs to be sealed immediately. You can’t seal it by yourself,” Tie Baocai sneered, “Give it to me. I’ll keep it for you.”
“Well, if you don’t tell me, just let it be. Anyway, it is useless for both of us now,” Su Yan said without care, “Later on, I’ll say that you ate the elixir if Lord Dragon asks.”
“Damn! Don’t kick down the ladder! How could you get it without my help?” Looking at the indifferent Su Yan, Tie Baocai said reluctantly, “Well! Damn it! You’d better put it inside the Bronze Tripod as quickly as you can. It can seal the pill and slow down the speed of the efficacy loss!”
Su Yan tried with suspicion in heart but he was surprised that it really worked. He speculated that the Bronze Tripod was probably a furnace for refining medicine, which was absolutely powerful!
“Cut the crap! Now tell me how can we take away the Star?” Su Yan gazed at the giant palace on the top of the steps and asked. No one could reach it now because the Star floating above emanated gusts of terrible and suffocating power!
There was no doubt that the Star was kept here. Even the mighty of Implement Constructing Realm could barely climb up the steps, not to mention cultivators in the ninth level of Destiny Spring Realm.
“Don’t worry. Let’s see what this haughty man would do.” Tie Baocai said in a low and crafty way, “Then we can take away the Star by surprise.”
Su Yan and Tie Baocai were hiding in a secret place. More onlookers gathered here. They all stared at Zu Yan, trying to see how he could climb up.
Zu Yan looked extremely mighty and powerful. The golden armor he wore broke out. With a pair of purple clouds boots on his feet, he released purple luster!
The divine power in his body operated like a giant beast carrying great pressure, he moved towards the stone stair step by step.
Every step made the ground shake and the mountains shiver, which showed how formidable Zu Yan was.
“Baocai, why are you drooling?” Su Yan squinted at him.
Tie Baocai wiped saliva and said greedily, “What a rich man! Look at him, a golden armor, a pair of purple clouds boots and a purple crown. There is even a jade pendant hanging around his waist and a string of Buddha pearls around his neck!”
“I could faintly see that there are five or six treasures hiding in his Destiny Spring! It’s glowing brilliantly.”
As Tie Baocai spoke, he became more and more excited. He grinned, “That guy looks so arrogant, he is definitely vicious. Wait till we figure out where he lives, let’s rob him completely!”
“I’ve heard that Zu Yan is the richest man on earth. He has more than ten thousand Essence Stones!” Su Yan seduced, “He even possesses a lot of magical books and arts, or perhaps countless secret elixirs in his house!”
“The richest man?” Tie Baocai’s eyes almost burst out fire with desire. He said maliciously, “Thousands of Essence Stones? Are you sure? If it is true, I will definitely dig his house and take all the stones away!”

“Of course it is true! Moreover, I have a feud with Zu Yan. He wanted Lord Dragon to be his teacher more than once, he even tried to give the Lord a large number of treasures,” Su Yan answered viciously. “It is said that he masters the strongest ancestral vein of the earth. He is so fucking rich. I heard that he is going to take over the whole earth and be the emperor!”
“What?! How dare him? Dragon Lord would never accept him as a disciple. Look at his ugly virtue!” Tie Baocai was quite angry. “The earth is a Descendant Planet! It can’t be...”’ Tie Baocai covered his mouth with fat claws immediately as he realized that he spilt the beans...
“What’s the Descendant Planet? Tell me!” Su Yan stared at Tie Baocai in bewilderment.
Tie Baocai shut his mouth. He seemed like a dead mouse that felt no cold. Su Yan even threatened him with Lord Dragon, but it didn’t work.
“Zu Yan deserves to be the War Lord! He’s on the nine thousandth step now!”
“That’s right! Zu Yan, the War Lord, can certainly rush to the top! He is much more powerful than the Martial Lord. Why does Martial Lord want to be Zu Yan’s enemy? I don’t know what the hell he is thinking about!”
“We can’t suppose the rights, the wrongs, the truth or the falsehood. Zu Yan will tell us later when it’s all over!”
At least thousands of cultivators were standing at the foot of the steps, discussing heatedly. Those who managed to get here were all masters in Destiny Spring Realm.
Su Yan could tell that there were at least seven to eight hundred masters who reached the sixth-level of Destiny Spring Realm, and about one hundred masters reached the eighth-level or ninth-level.
The hidden masters on earth were beyond his expectation. These masters were very likely to enter the Implement Constructing Realm in the future. Besides there were many powerful masters hiding in all kinds of forces on earth.
“The Prime Faction, Xia Ze’s party and some neutral forces... I can’t imagine what the earth will be in the future.” Su Yan murmured to himself. Zu Yan was slowing down, but he was still climbing!
One step after another. Every step of his unleased vast divine power!
There was no doubt that Zu Yan was indeed strong and superb. He was still the most powerful man in the earth!
He was getting closer and closer to the top of the giant palace. Under the tremendous pressure bursting out from the Star, it was difficult for masters in Implement Constructing Realm to get close to the giant palace.
As Zu Yan approached the giant palace, every step tired him a lot. Yet his Qi was surging like the rolling Yangtze river. It was because of the Incipient Scripture. Although it was only a previous part of the Incipient Scripture, it did help Zu Yan a lot!
“Boom!”
As he got more closer to the top, his whole body emanated a terrible aura. He seemed like the king of human, with the power to push away everything.
“He is king body,” Tie Baocai sneered. “Just a king body show off like this? That’s so arrogant! Though the king body was strong, it is much weaker than the supreme body!”
“What is the supreme body?” Su Yan was curious and asked hurriedly.
“A kind of extremely horrible body. But compared to me, it is just fine,” Tie Baocai lowered his voice. “Such body constitution is very rare. Once it appears, it is always young and supreme. The martial art Dragon Lord gave to you is quite powerful, which may help you to cultivate a supreme body. However, it is really hard as it needs massive resources. But if you recommend me to be a disciple of Lord Dragon successfully, I can dig out all the treasures buried in the earth for you to cultivate.”
Su Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Tie Baocai in disbelief. He would never believe that Tie Baocai could be so kind.
“Believe me, kid! I have the most powerful blood and constitution. If I cultivate the martial arts from Lord Dragon, I would surely become the best among the top. Then, I’ll take you to roam around the cosmos. And you can grab any saintesses of celestial sects to be you wives.” Tie Baocai laughed.
Su Yan was tired of listening to Tie Baocai’s nonsense.
Right now, Zu Yan was infinitely close to the giant palace!
“Boom!”
His aura climbed to the peak, and his Destiny Spring spurted out magical rosy clouds. Tie Baocai stared at an ancient seal, which surprised and frightened him. He wondered how could this occult art appear in the earth. What on earth was this man’s background?
“How terrible!”
People around were suffocated by the horrible fluctuation released by Zu Yan!
Zu Yan stepped over with all his might, his body releasing purple light all over. As he raised his palms suddenly, his life implement revived along, conjuring a great seal that could toss the sky. The flowing aura of which was so amazing that it could collapse the heaven and the earth!
“Open!”
Zu Yan smashed the door of the giant palace and opened it forcibly!
Suddenly, colorful glows spurted out from the giant palace!
At this moment, countless secret treasures flew out. A dozen of them emanated extremely powerful fluctuations!
Zu Yan was so excited that he, quick like a lightning, stretched out his palms to grab all kinds of treasures flying out from the giant palace!
All the people in this area went mad, for the treasures from the giant palace were all flying down to the ground straightly!
The crowd was riotous and thrilled with passion. A lot of treasures were about to fall down!
“We will be rich! Hurry up, Su Yan! Hold this Golden Bamboo and let your energy run through it! Be quick!”
Tie Baocai handed a gleaming bamboo to Su Yan. Su Yan revived the divine power in his Destiny Spring and directed it into the bamboo without hesitation.
The gleaming bamboo was quite special. As soon as Su Yan’s divine power reached the golden bamboo, it stretched out straightly to the sky like a golden ladder!
“Hahaha! I’m coming!”
Tie Baocai twined his tail around the tip of the golden bamboo. As the bamboo grew rapidly afar, he, crossing quite a few miles in just a second, reached at the exact point where the treasures fell down, which was still far away from the people who were prepared to rob the treasures.
Tie Baocai took out the Eight-diagrams Furnace and threw it abruptly to the air, which swallowed seven or eight pieces of treasures at once.

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k.

Deviant's Masquerade: The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

A Suspicious Lack of Horses
World: The framework of reality. The rules which govern interaction. The dimensions within which existence takes place. Soul: Mind. The source of thought, of consciousness. The means by which reality is observed. Body: Form. The means by which one interacts with the World. The substance from which reality is formed. Spirit: Life. The connection between Soul and Body. The anchor to the World. What happens when these foundational forces are given human form? When they're confronted with the truths of human nature, of human frailty? When the evils of reality are thrown in their face and the question is asked: What are you going to do about it? Why did anyone ever think they'd need horses? I upload ~30k word chunks at the beginning of every month, rotating through each character in order. I have at least four extra chunks on my Patreon. I suggest setting your reading preferences to indent and 30 pt paragraph spacing for the best reading experience.
