"Does it hurt a lot?"
"How about I go a bit easier?"
Jinghong Artifact's voice suddenly echoed in Luo Xiu's mind.
Luo Xiu gasped in pain, his voice strained, "What do you think? How about I stab you and see if it hurts?"
"Sorry, I stabbed too hard."
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, "Your tone doesn't sound apologetic at all."
Jinghong Artifact said, "This is what my sister instructed. She said if there's no one else around when I et you, I should stab you like this."
Luo Xiu's face was a picture of pain, "What exactly did I do to offend her? What's the grudge between us?"
Jinghong Artifact said, "No need for idle talk. Now, focus on the aura entering your body."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu was taken aback.
Suddenly, he felt strands of terrifying power flowing into his body through the sword blade.
It was a mystical purple aura.
Luo Xiu suddenly realized sothing, almost incredulous, "Artifact, could this aura be..."
Jinghong Artifact said, "This is the Primordial Qi, left for you by my sister."
"Next, you have two choices."
Luo Xiu asked, "What are the two choices?"
Jinghong Artifact said, "These strands of Primordial Qi are not abundant. You can use them to enhance your physical body and try to cultivate the Hongng Holy Body. That's the first choice."
"The second choice is to use it to enhance your Grotto Heaven."
It continued, "If you opt for the first choice, these strands of Primordial Qi might not be enough to cultivate the Hongng Holy Body, but they could greatly enhance your physical form."
"If you choose the second option, it can elevate your Cave Heaven Space and lay a foundation for your Domain."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu thought seriously and said, "I think the second option is more worthwhile."
"Because my physical form is already strong enough and doesn't need short-term enhancent, otherwise it could lead to rigidity breaking. Even in terms of physical form alone, I have the power to confront the Heavenly Emperor."
"What I'm lacking now is the Domain."
Jinghong Artifact said, "That's exactly what I think."
"Because if you rely on yourself to cultivate the Grotto Heaven, to reach a level where it can rge with a Domain, at your current pace, it would take at least a thousand years."
Luo Xiu was astonished, "A thousand years?"
"Yes," Jinghong Artifact said, "though this varies from person to person. My sister only took five years to cultivate her Grotto Heaven."
Luo Xiu took a deep breath and asked, "What do I need to do next?"
Jinghong Artifact said, "Gather the Primordial Qi I'm channeling into your body, control it as you would your Spiritual Power, and guide it into your Human Sanctuary."
"After that, you don't need to worry about anything."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu felt delighted, "This is truly a case of fortune coming from heaven while sitting at ho!"
Jinghong Artifact said, "However, the process of enhancing the Grotto Heaven can be extrely painful. You need to prepare yourself ntally."
Luo Xiu snorted disdainfully and laughed, "Physical pain is nothing to ."
Jinghong Artifact: "I hope so."
Luo Xiu boasted, "Let the storm co stronger, let see how painful it really is!"
Unexpectedly, the next mont he was utterly defeated.
He rolled his eyes and fell onto the bed, clutching his stomach and twitching, uttering pig-like screams.
When the Primordial Qi rged into his Human Sanctuary, he realized the kind of "pain" Jinghong Artifact ntioned.
It was excruciating!
"Artifact..."
Luo Xiu was drenched, pale-faced, and struggled to say.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xiu: "Can I still back out now? Let's not enhance the Grotto Heaven."
"Sorry, once it starts, it can't be stopped. And forcing an end now will waste all the Primordial Qi."
Luo Xiu: "Is there any way to lessen the pain?"
"Sorry, there isn't."
"I'm in such pain and you're still so indifferent when you speak to ? Can't you show a little concern?"
"Sorry, I'm a sword, I don't have much emotion."
"..."
Ti flows like water.
Two months pass quickly.
Who knows how Luo Xiu endured these two months.
One morning after two months.
Seated cross-legged on the bed, Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a flash like supre Sword Qi in his gaze.
With the final strands of Primordial Qi rging with his Human Sanctuary, he was finally relieved and let out a long sigh.
Then he used his Divine Sense to view his Human Sanctuary, a smile appeared on his face.
His original Human Sanctuary was equivalent to an advanced Storage Magical Treasure, only used for storing items.
Now, his Human Sanctuary was a small world no less spacious than the Land of Lawlessness, and it could even sustain life!
In the silence.
Jinghong Artifact's voice echoed in his mind, "To cultivate one's Human Sanctuary to this size would take most people at least five thousand years."
Luo Xiu smiled, flipped off the bed, and said, "It's all thanks to the Primordial Qi you gave ."
The Artifact replied, "It wasn't given by , but what my sister left for you."
"Also, your Grotto Heaven is this vast not just because of the Primordial Qi, but due to your strong resilience, your Divine Sense, and your own Fortune-Forming Power."
Luo Xiu withdrew his Divine Sense from the Human Sanctuary, asking, "So my Domain is complete? What na should I give it..."
Jinghong Artifact countered, "You're overthinking it, this is just laying the foundation for your Domain, like a base for a building. It doesn't an the Domain is cultivated."
Luo Xiu: "..."
Jinghong Artifact: "As for how to cultivate the Domain, I don't know, you'll have to ask soone else."
Luo Xiu thought and decided to consult Master Ping when he returned.
He stretched, yawned, "It's been several days, wonder how Xi Yue is doing."
Jinghong Artifact: "Actually, it's been two months."
Upon hearing this Luo Xiu's eyes widened, "No way!"
…
Not long after.
As Luo Xiu pushed the door open, he imdiately noticed two maids standing outside.
The two maids initially froze upon seeing Luo Xiu, then covered their noses with disdain and backed away.
One maid seed frightened and hurried away.
Not long after.
The maid returned in a hurry, behind her was a graceful silhouette.
"Xi Yue, you succeeded?"
Lin Xiyue walked up to Luo Xiu, scrutinized him, and suddenly held her nose.
Luo Xiu was about to embrace her, but Lin Xiyue dodged with distaste.
"Oh my, tsk tsk tsk, you stink so much!"
"Don't you care about hygiene? Go wash fast!"
Yet Luo Xiu suddenly pulled her into his arms, then lifted her off her feet, and turned back to the room, communicated via Divine Sense, "It's been two months, I missed you!"
Lin Xiyue let out a playful squeal, made a few symbolic protests, then looked bashfully at the two maids.
"Well... Jin Zhi and Yu Ye, you two can leave now."
The two maids known as "Jin Zhi and Yu Ye" exchanged glances, their expressions odd.
"Okay, boss, let us know if you need anything."
