Chapter 831: Chapter 311: The Terrifying Stone-to-Gold

He felt that he could implant an artificial anchor point for the Five Elements Cycle within his body.

But he frowned slightly,

"This artificial anchor point is like an external organ, establishing an external artificial cycle, which is not natural."

"My current situation is somewhat like those pseudo-humans possessing others, with the spiritual root growing on the neck, quite a big flaw."

"Although I won’t go insane like the Human Ancestor, it is ultimately external, an extrinsic spiritual root, leaving a weakness."

Ning Zheng fell into contemplation.

To the perfection-seeking Ning Zheng, this side effect might be a bit too significant.

This flawed foundation needs to be completed, and there are two ways at present.

1. Die once more; the Ghost King provides an opportunity to replenish the foundation.

2. Sacrifice.

The ultimate victor of the Sacrificial Era can enter Sacrifice, using Sacrifice as the origin of all things, to complete their foundation, perfect their species evolution, remedy various flaws, and then become an Immortal.

Even achieving immortality is possible, so completing the cycle defect in the foundation is surely normal.

Fortunately, the invaluable Sacrifice is in Ning Zheng’s hands.

"The path of resurrection with the Ghost King is too troublesome."

Ning Zheng took a deep breath: "Sacrifice is my best choice."

"After I establish the Five Elements Cycle, I’ll take a trip through Sacrifice’s mind to thoroughly integrate this external Five Elements Cycle into my body."

He was planning his future strategy, looking towards the outside world.

Three days passed.

The blacksmiths followed Ning Zheng’s orders, receiving daily gains of 990,000, 1.1 million, and 1.21 million Qi Fortune Value respectively over the three days.

Using the Qi Fortune Value obtained to research the version of Golden Mud, they updated a version.

And the good news is,

The neighboring Immortal civilization had a great outbreak, numerous protagonists, and a version of Golden Mud was updated.

Inside and outside cooperation, the Golden Mud version has nearly reached the theoretical limit of Celestial Spirit Root.

Similar to the level of [All Saints Form] at 3 billion.

"I want to update the Golden Mud."

Ning Zheng muttered to himself.

In the mysterious realm, the Qi Fortune Gambling Table appeared, revealing the stakes Ning Zheng needed to put forth.

[Golden God: With one thought, create a flourishing golden era; with another, summon extinction calamity, control the Qi Fortune of living creatures, create disasters, convert dead things, transform stone to gold, all things can be transformed into Golden Mud.]

[Qi Fortune Value Consumption: 500 million]

Only needing 500 million, instead of 3 billion.

This means, with frequent updates, the Golden Mud itself has already approached its final critical value!

Saving Ning Zheng 2.5 billion.

Indeed, spending money directly is a waste; having others research and update is most practical.

"This Golden Mud can transform stone to gold, converting other things into Golden Mud!"

Ning Zheng’s gaze was fiery.

Until now, only certain special objects can bear Qi Fortune.

Such as Magic Coins, Golden Turtle, and Golden Mud. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

If ordinary wood, flowers, and bones could serve as Qi Fortune containers, then Ning Zheng wouldn’t need to frantically create Golden Mud as a transportation team.

But now?

This divine technique, stone-to-gold!

Transform some objects into Gold Attribute.

For example, transforming a piece of wood allows storing Qi Fortune, turning into a Qi Fortune container; how powerful is that?

Equivalent to enlightening some material for Qi Fortune Magical Artifact creation.

Ning Zheng looked at the current Qi Fortune Value, having just spent 300 million, but after three days, it surged again.

[Current Qi Fortune Value Stored: 616 million]

[Current Daily Qi Fortune Value Gain: 143 million]

"No rush, wait a bit, then spend the 500 million for Golden Mud after two more days; at least having 300 million on hand is safer."

Ning Zheng continued to wait!

Two days later.

The realm stabilized, and Ning Zheng took the new version of Golden Mud from the mountain, decisively -500 million, directly breaking through to Golden God.

At this point.

The ultimate Golden Mud Spirit Root was born!

Boom!

A brand new Golden Mud appeared in Ning Zheng’s hand.

Without hesitation, Ning Zheng immediately started implanting the Five Elements Spirit Root’s first ring, Gold Spirit Root.

Boom!

This time the spiritual root implantation was surprisingly simple.

Ning Zheng’s Qi Fortune was extremely abundant, naturally achieving success.

He felt the explosive power within, a long-lost sense of exhilaration: "The second spiritual root cycle has begun!"

"Moreover, the Gold Attribute Spirit Root inherits all the divine techniques of Golden Mud, which means I can use all seven systems opened by the Celestial Destiny World!"

Of course.

Ning Zheng first chose to experiment with stone-to-gold.

He reached out and pointed.

The five-colored vase on the desk instantly transformed.

Yet its material structure wasn’t altered, just slightly shimmering gold, becoming more resilient and capable of storing Qi Fortune.

Qi Fortune Vase Container.

It seemed to be a unique treasure.

Moreover, it possessed some curse-like power of misfortune, placing this vase in a normal household would likely bring them calamity.

"Furthermore, stone-to-gold consumes quite a bit of mana." Ning Zheng felt silently, "Even as powerful as I am, it’s not casually made..."

"Large-scale Qi Fortune containers still rely on the Golden Mud warehouse."

"However, this thing is clearly more suitable than Golden Mud for making Magical Artifact materials."

Strategically incredibly defying death.

That Celestial Destiny World’s Qi Fortune cultivators basically lack corresponding weapons, Magical Robes, and boots.

Because this system just began.

But now, with stone-to-gold released, that world has the foundational materials for similar equipment; slight refining enables usage, significantly boosting their strength.

"Send a Golden God to my manor’s blacksmiths, let them update a version." Ning Zheng’s expression was calm:

"Furthermore, it’s time to have a chat with our Night Emperor."

"This Golden God is a killer, supports the neighbor too greatly... absolutely can exchange many good things with our Celestial Destiny Emperor."

Thinking of this, after only four days, Ning Zheng opened the spatial vortex again.

Whoosh!

On the other side appeared the majestic face of a golden-robed emperor, within a magnificent palace.

Ning Zheng glanced at him and straightforwardly said: "Recently, the Qi Fortune Divine Artifact has been built."

"Not too far off the mark." Night Emperor nodded, not pretentious but rather approachable: "It’s about to reach the final node, injecting Artifact Spirit... Regarding the Artifact Spirit, we’re still discussing with you on which seven Celestial Spirit Roots to form the Seven-Colored Artifact Spirit."

Ning Zheng said indifferently, "This indeed is a significant matter."

Clearly, during these three days of seclusion, the blacksmiths were busy again, estimating the forums exploded, can check back later.

Night Emperor said: "Because this Magical Artifact is too special, this Artifact Spirit will also be stripped of consciousness, no need for a brain."

The Divine Artifact that controls destiny lines is terrifying.

Having a mind might even become a mythical Heavenly Dao, in turn manipulating living beings, enslaving him as the Celestial Emperor, he absolutely won’t tolerate such occurrences.

Ning Zheng revealed a mysterious smile, "I have a brand new version of Golden Mud here, possessing stone-to-gold’s mighty power... probably bringing tremendous help to your civilization, has a power to resist Immortals."

Oh?

Night Emperor’s cold eyes brightened instantly; he holds great expectations for this incredibly mysterious Manor Master.
