Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 525 - 524 Greed for utensils

Upon hearing Zhao Haomiao's question, the woman did not respond but instead asked indifferently without turning her head, "I heard you were attacked. What happened?"

In the woman's tone, there was a sense of aloofness as if she might vanish at any moment, just like a dream or an illusion.

Zhao Haomiao immediately recounted the incident, emphasizing, "Zhou Bai truly possesses strength and responsibility. Of course, he isn't comparable to you, sister, but he is indeed a rare talent. I want to help him."

The woman said indifferently, "You went to see Jiaojiao, that traitor, and even had her scolded, huh? That woman, one day I will surpass her."

The woman fell silent for a moment, seemingly feeling something deeply, then continued, "Hmm? Your emotional state changed just now when you mentioned Zhou Bai... Do you admire him?"

Zhao Haomiao stammered, "Ah? I..."

"How can you, a direct descendant of the Zhao Family, admire someone else? This is a flaw in your heart, which will hinder your progress in the Dream Heart Scripture in the future."

"As a direct descendant of the Zhao Family, you must always guard your heart closely without leaving any flaws."

As she spoke, the woman pointed her finger toward Zhao Haomiao without turning around, her slender jade-like finger seemed as if it could penetrate the heavens and earth, instantly filling his entire field of vision.

Zhao Haomiao exclaimed, "Zhao Yue! What are you doing!"

Zhao Yue replied, "Today, I will seal off this segment of your emotions. Once I defeat Zhou Bai in Daluo Heaven, I will unlock your memory. At that time, your Heart Demon will naturally be resolved."

Zhao Haomiao fiercely activated the Dream Heart Scripture to protect himself, and the entire dreamscape began to violently shake, "Zhao Yue! I won't allow you to tamper with my consciousness!"

"Hmph, I'm doing this for the sake of your future cultivation," the other party snorted coldly, and the dreamscape stabilized again, "When you encounter a bottleneck in the Dream Heart Scripture due to realizing the flaws in your heart, you'll understand I'm doing this for your benefit."

"Of course, I will ensure that such a thing doesn't happen."

Zhao Haomiao felt the whole world spinning and rapidly contracting, finally enveloping his consciousness. freewebnøvel.com

Zhao Haomiao roared, "He is my friend! They are my memories! I won't allow you to meddle as you please!"

The woman coldly retorted, "I have studied Zhou Bai's profile; he is not as simple as you think. If you don't sever your connection with him now, he might cause you significant trouble later."

Zhao Haomiao shouted angrily, "I said no!"

He roared and gathered all his conscious power to resist.

Sensing this, the woman slightly raised her eyebrows, "Would you really harm your own consciousness just to defy my order? Remember, I'm your sister."

Zhao Haomiao angrily responded, "If you are truly my sister, then you shouldn't manipulate my consciousness or toy with my life!"

A fierce glint appeared in the woman's eyes, "You dare to defy me for an outsider?"

Boom! The entire dreamscape violently shook. The woman in front of him rapidly grew taller, becoming a giant that towered to the sky, exerting a terrifying oppressive force on Zhao Haomiao.

Zhao Haomiao shouted explosively, unleashing his conscious power, disregarding any damage to his consciousness and Primordial Spirit, and directly caused the entire dreamscape to self-destruct.

"Sister! I know you are the chosen candidate of Wanxian Island's fate, I know you aim to be the first in the heavenly discourse of Daluo Heaven, I know you are stronger than me..."

"But my life, I will choose it myself!"

Watching the entire dreamscape shatter, Zhao Haomiao also woke up in reality, his complexion turning extremely pale and listless.

"But... it finally succeeded."

...

Zhou Bai looked directly at the dark gold metal about the size of a fingernail, experimenting with its properties.

His Primordial Spirit forcefully pressed against the metal, continuously applying more pressure.

As the pressure increased, the metal gradually twisted and deformed.

Then, he experimented with other various properties like high temperature, low temperature, shock resistance, and deformation.

At last, Zhou Bai shook his head, "It's basically at the level of ordinary alloy and hasn't reached the level of Taibai Essence Gold yet."

"However, Greed Steel can be continuously upgraded through fusion. This means we need to constantly produce Greed Steel."

Zhou Bai thought for a moment, "Hmm… if I want to produce more Greed Steel, I need to find some good friends to constantly fleece."

He immediately had candidates for good friends in mind, and then Zhou Bai looked toward the next star point.

Greed Lure - Greed Device: During the Artifact Refining process, it can slightly improve the quality of the magical instruments, with a tiny chance to significantly enhance the quality.

Cultivation method: Skipped.

Laziness (0/2.3 million)

After reading the introduction of the star point, Zhou Bai raised his eyebrows, "The star point of greed really does enhance Artifact Refining abilities."

Since Zhou Bai had started cultivating the Heavenly Nine Calamities, each level had different focuses, enhancing different abilities.

However, enhancing Artifact Refining abilities, a rather specialized field, was narrower than previous focuses on defense, speed, aptitude, etc.

"I was originally thinking of improving my strength in these remaining two months, aiming to be able to kill a level 9 opponent with my bare hands."

"Now it seems, if Greed Lure is about enhancing Artifact Refining abilities, it can't be counted like that."

So, Zhou Bai, besides his daily routine practice, also began to intensely study the related content of Artifact Refining.

After all, he had only learned the basics of Artifact Refining and never thought of doing it himself, preferring to just steal from others.

But now, if Greed Lure was to enhance his Artifact Refining abilities, Zhou Bai still had great faith in the power of the Heavenly Nine Calamities and decided to research the art of Artifact Refining himself to fully exert the power of Greed Lure.

Another week and more passed, and Zhou Bai's Laziness value broke through 2.3 million, letting him finally activate this third star point, Greed Lure - Greed Device.

Progress of Zhou Bai's Greed Lure (3/9).

Only 7 weeks left until the Daluo Heaven discourse.

In Central City, Zhao Yue sat at a stone table, her face cold, her eyebrows threatening.

Before her, a young man, handsome as if a beautiful noble of the chaotic world, smiled and said, "Zhao Yue, what's wrong? Still angry about your brother?"

Zhao Yue snorted, "My family's affairs are none of your business. But you, why are you participating in this Daluo Heaven discourse again? Didn't you say that a divine being can't fully wield the power of the Human Emperor Sword?"

The young master before her chuckled, "My father Tu Guishen… He was a previous Human Emperor Sword Master. Taking back the Human Emperor Sword to our home is like returning it to its rightful owner, isn't it?"

"Even if I don't use it much, hanging it in the living room can ward off evil spirits."

Zhao Yue was silent for a moment, reminded of Tu Guishen's deeds.

500 years ago, during the conflict between good and evil, the leader of the righteous sects 'Tu Guishen' was recognized and protected by the Human Emperor Sword from birth. His cultivation progressed rapidly, and eventually, wielding the Human Emperor Sword, he annihilated the chief of the Evil Gods together with the gods of heaven, then recited the Immortal Ascension Book and ascended to the ranks of the immortals.

The current Tu Guishen was the leader of the thirty-six scattered immortals of Wanxian Island, and the young man before her was his son, Tu Tianmo.

Thinking of the additional formidable adversary in the upcoming Daluo Heaven discourse, Zhao Yue slightly furrowed her brow.

Yet, she saw Tu Tianmo laughing heartily, saying, "I'm just joking, relax a bit. My dad sent me here to help you, to eliminate some of our competitors. Besides the four of you, the Heavenly Court has also sent quite a few people over."
