Chapter 459: Chapter 217 Mysterious Black Sphere? The Bottom Card Again +_2
The essence of the Spiritual Artifact was a black sphere about the size of a palm.
At first glance, it seemed quite unremarkable.
And within it, there seemed to be no energy fluctuations whatsoever.
Yet Luo Changfeng was very clear in his heart.
This was merely the case when the “black sphere” was not activated.
If he were to activate this “black sphere” before his eyes—
The energy it would unleash would at least rival the full force strike of a cultivator at the Mortal Transcendence Perfection realm.
Moreover, this was only a rough estimate made by Luo Changfeng.
As for the true power of this thing, just how immense it was—
Even Luo Changfeng himself was not sure.
After all, he had never tested it.
So it was hard to say.
“Regardless, with this thing in my possession, my arsenal of trump cards has once again expanded significantly.”
“It’s just that I don’t know, what is the success rate of this thing?”
“If the success rate is higher, then it’s fine, but if it’s too low…”
“Rather than wasting a lot of time on this, it would be better to refine some one-time-use Spiritual Weapon Bombs that are less powerful but have much higher success rates.”
…
Inside the small courtyard—
next to a Furnace Cauldron—
Luo Changfeng, after storing the one-time-use Spiritual Artifact Bomb that resembled a black sphere into his storage ring,
then waved his hand, retrieving a large amount of materials.
He tossed these materials one by one into the Furnace Cauldron before him.
If carefully observed at this moment,
one would notice that the materials Luo Changfeng threw into the cauldron
were apparently all for refining those particularly powerful and terrifying one-time-use Spiritual Weapon Bombs.
…
Time passed by.
In the blink of an eye, another day had gone by.
In the Luo Family Ancestral Land within Qingshi City, within a mysterious courtyard exuding an aura of ancientness—
Luo Changfeng was standing silently,
in front of a Furnace Cauldron used for both Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
After a moment,
he couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
Indeed, the situation was as he expected.
The previously stumbled-upon, immensely powerful, palm-sized black sphere—
was not something that could be easily created.
Its success rate was frustratingly low.
However, a low success rate was one reason.
Another reason was that Luo Changfeng’s experience in Artifact Refining seemed to be somewhat insufficient.
For a while, he had devoted most of his time to cultivation.
Not to mention Artifact Refining, even Alchemy, Talisman making, and the study of Formations—
he had not spent much time re
After all, when the sky falls, the tall ones will bear the brunt.
If the Great Flame Dynasty is still holding on, not yet collapsed, what’s there for the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family to fear?
Even if the situation indeed worsens to a certain extreme.
Even if the White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture really breaks through the defenses of the Great Flame Dynasty and gradually extends its reach into this territory.
The Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, in the worst case, could simply choose to run away, and that would be that.
The world is vast and limitless.
Could it really not have a place for them, the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family?
Even if they truly don’t know where to go.
Couldn’t the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family just burrow into the deep mountains and forests, and call it done?
Moreover, with the Great Flame Dynasty constantly restrained by that White Brahma Temple,
they simply have no time or energy to pay attention to the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family.
This has made life particularly leisurely and prosperous for the Ke Family during this period.
…
Xunyang Prefecture, Ke Family ancestral land.
Inside the room where the family head resides.
At this moment, Ke Xiaowen, the current family head of the Ke Family, was sitting quietly in the principal seat.
Standing before him was a man clad in black.
The black-clothed man in the room was bowing slightly, his face showing a hint of respect.
“What’s the current state of the Da Feng Dynasty?”
After Ke Xiaowen finished dealing with the official affairs he held in his hands,
he looks up and asks the black-clothed man standing in front of him in a low voice.
“Family head, the situation remains much the same as before,”
“The White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture has indeed acted.”
“It continues to launch attacks against the Great Flame Dynasty.”
“The Great Flame Dynasty is trying its best to resist, but seems somewhat outmatched by the puppets controlled by the White Brahma Temple,”
the black-clothed man says softly.
Upon hearing these words, Ke Xiaowen nods silently and then asks again, “What about the situation with the Qingshi City Luo Family and the Royal Feng Family now?”
The black-clothed man, still bowing his head slightly, replies softly, “The Qingshi City Luo Family and the Royal Feng Family are still focusing on developing their own strengths and seem to have no intention of joining the strife between the Great Flame Dynasty and the White Brahma Temple…”
Ke Xiaowen narrows his eyes slightly, “Is that so?”
After a moment,
he speaks to the black-clothed cultivator before him in a low voice, “Alright, I’ve got it, you may leave…”
…
Soon after,
the black-clothed cultivator disappears from the room.
In the room, which isn’t particularly bright,
Ke Xiaowen, the current family head of the Ke Family, is left alone.
“If the situation is like this…”
“Then was my decision back then actually correct?”
“Though it’s true that my Ke Family has given up countless things,”
“what has been gained in return is stability and peace.”
“Was this trade a gain or a loss?”
Ke Xiaowen contemplates quietly to himself.
At this very moment, if you asked him to say for sure if it was a gain or a loss,
he would not dare to be too certain in his answer.
But if one were to look at the current situation, him, as the current family head, might consider the outcome of this trade to have been fairly good after making such a deal?
True, the Ke Family lost much.
But at the same time, they also acquired many things they had not dared to dream of before.
“Forget it, no more thinking about it, let it be.”
“After all, things have already come to this, so what’s the point of worrying so much about gains and losses?”
