A strange and elusive yet sacred female voice lingered in the world…
When Xia Yan finally regained consciousness, he found himself in a vast starry sky.
“Soul Binding is successful.”
“The store is now open! You may currently buy items that are either within or below the high-level jurisdiction!”
As the elusive and sacred female voice flooded the entire starry sky, a huge scroll composed of endless stars and dense immortal Qi, slowly unfurled in front of him.
Familiar and strange cultivation methods and divine abilities were written out in golden stars.
“The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art?”
“The Queen Mother of West’s Scripture?”
“The Six Syllable Mantra?”
“It even has the Scripture of the Way, the Void Scripture, the Scripture of Salvation, the Undying Celestial Art, the Without Beginning Scripture, the Monster Emperor’s Nine Executions, the Crossing Tribulation Immortal Tune, the Nine Secrets, the Ancient Sun Scripture, the Ancient Moon Scripture, and the Ancient Chaos Emperor Scripture…”
Xia Yan’s eyes widened further in shock as he continued to read on.
“… The Grand Void Technique, the Grand Karma Technique, the Grand Wish Technique, and the Grand Fate Technique… these are the 3000 grand Daos…”
“… And these are the supreme cultivation methods from the Swallowed Star universe–the Beast God’s Seven Killings, the Nine-Universe Chaos Tablet, the Floating Blood Secret Scripture, and the Time-Space Scribbles…”
His eyes shone with astonishment and brilliance.
All of these cultivation methods and divine abilities had appeared in at least one of the novels he’d read. And each one could shake the world on its own!
If he took out even one and cultivated it, he could do more than suppress the small kingdom of Xia. He could also suppress the grand kingdom of Tang without much difficulty.
“Wait a minute…Are these numbers their prices?”
Xia Yan’s gaze shifted to the string of golden numbers following the name of the cultivation methods. The prices were measured in spirit stones.
[Heaven Devouring Demonic Art: 2 billion spirit stones] [Void Scripture: 80 million spirit stones] [Nine Secrets: 80 million spirit stones] [Without Beginning Scripture: 2 billion spirit stones]. . .
After a few casual glances, Xia Yan found that the cheapest cultivation method was under the primary-level jurisdiction and it cost 1 million spirit stones.
“Crap, this is way too expensive!”
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Spirit stones were an item that could only be used by cultivators. It was a high-level trading currency in which one spirit stone was worth 120 pieces of gold.
In the Xia kingdom alone, there were only ten million spirit stones in its treasury.
Where could he, as the waste First Prince, gain so many spirit stones?
“Host, in view of the success of initial binding, the system will give you a lottery wheel opportunity.”
The elusive and female voice spoke in answer to his unuttered question.
“Well good! A novice gift. I’m familiar with that!”
Xia Yan’s eyes immediately brightened.
He didn’t care about what he might get from this lottery wheel opportunity. He would be fine as long as it allowed him to step onto the path of cultivation and become a powerhouse who stood at the peak of the Xia Kingdom. This would not only reverse his negative prestige as waste, it would allow him to no longer worry about not being able to gain spirit stones. And once he had enough spirit stones, he would buy a higher cultivation method and complete the process over and again. Until finally, he would be treated as equal to beings of the Divine Realm.
“Whish!”
Suddenly, a huge golden turntable covered in countless mysterious patterns emerged from the void to appear beside the giant gold scroll.
The turntable was densely packed with over a thousand divine abilities and cultivation methods that covered a price range from several thousand spirit stones to several billion.
A moment passed and the giant gold turntable slowly began to spin. The rotation speed gradually grew faster and faster.
“Come on. Let me obtain something fierce and awesome enough to suppress everyone.”
As soon as he’d arrived in this world, he’d carried the title of waste. No one would believe him if he said he wasn’t somehow angry.
To outsiders, he enjoyed endless splendor and wealth as the First Prince. But behind the scenes, his younger brothers despised and disdained him. Sometimes, they preferred to call him directly by his name rather than “big brother”. Even some officials, while polite to his face, ridiculed him behind his back.
If not for his strong willpower, he would’ve already lost his mind.
But his moment had arrived.
He would finally have the chance to repay all of the hatred and resentment he’d accumulated over the past year.
“Boom!”
After the rotational speed of the gold turntable reached its limit, a dazzling golden light loudly bloomed.
“Congratulations, you have obtained a prize that only had a 0.01% chance of appearing… 100 trillion spirit stones!”
Xia Yan’s eyes widened in shock as he heard that sacred and elusive female voice.
“1… 100 trillion?!”
Xia Yan took another look at the row of characters to the lower right corner in case he had somehow misheard.
His heart surged with so much joy he jumped up and laughed into the starry sky.
Fortunately, he was in this mental form. If he had been in reality, he might’ve been laughed at for losing his self-control.
After a moment passed, the joy in his heart began to settle a bit.
“Buy! I must buy everything! Any Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, any Without Beginning Scripture, and any supreme secret skill, I must buy!”
With 100 trillion spirit stones, what couldn’t he buy?
“Host, I suggest you choose a high-level ability!”
“High-level ability?”
Xia Yan became puzzled at the same time as the golden characters on the huge, golden scroll gradually faded away to be replaced by a new line of characters.
The content was quite different from before.
Xia Yan took a look, and his entire body shook.
