I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 603 - 603: 571. Dual Origin

Condensing the Original Position, ascending as Venerable.

This first choice of position was tremendously important; the first Condensed Goal, also called the Original Position.

Subsequent goals would grow based on the foundation of the Original Position.

The Original Position was also the core of a Venerable's strength or, alternatively, their weakness. If the Original Position were destroyed, the Spirit Master would plummet from the Venerable Realm, destroying years of painful cultivation in an instant.

Besides,

condensing a goal allowed for choosing Spiritual Clothes as the goal, as well as choosing a Spiritual Artifact as the goal.

However, generally speaking, those Spirit Masters with slightly higher-level Spiritual Artifacts and extremely high cultivation talent would choose to condense the fifth goal using a Spiritual Artifact.

After all, the enhancement of strength from the fifth goal far exceeded the previous four, and it had a significant effect on the evolution of the Spiritual Artifact.

Xia Feng naturally planned to use an Alpha-level Spiritual Artifact for his fifth goal.

For now, the choice for the first Original Position was primarily based on Miss Mu's preference.

He... was nothing more than a hanger-on, with no say in the matter.

Yet outwardly, he still acted arrogantly.

"Miss Mu, let's hurry. It's not safe to stay here long, we should get going."

Xia Feng approached the woman in the black dress, patting her slender shoulder.

Though Jinyang Hong had left, there was no guarantee he wouldn't suddenly realize something was amiss and return for a counterattack.

If they were still here by then, they would truly be easy targets.

After Mu Qingtong flipped through the last page, she seemingly thoughtful nodded, then set fire, burning all the paper documents clean.

This was also a request by Feng Jianyi.

The data contained basic research about "Pressure Force," even though letting this information leak would not enable anyone to derive anything significant from it alone.

But, for caution's sake, Feng Jianyi had tasked Xia Feng with destroying the data anyway.

It prevented the appearance of someone with even greater talent in Spirit Science than Feng Jianyi, and the creation of another Collapsed Stone Plate.

From this incident, it appeared Feng Jianyi was quite humble, understanding that "There is always someone better," but unfortunately, he still wasn't cautious enough.

He actually believed that Xia Feng's group would keep their promise...

Of course, Xia Feng's group did keep their promise, but Feng Jianyi hadn't said they couldn't swiftly skim through the data before burning it, right?

Perhaps, Feng Jianyi had foreseen that Xia Feng's group would secretly read the data but assumed they wouldn't understand or be interested in it.

However, not only did someone in Xia Feng's group find the data interesting, but they all understood it too...

"Let's go."

Following Mu Qingtong's faint voice, Xia Feng used the Blood Beast's Shadow to plow through the laboratory once more, then activated the Holy Knight · Capsule Ship to breach the seabed barrier and ascend into the dark currents above.

"Miss Mu, which Spiritual Clothes do you plan to choose as the Original Position?"

Xia Feng handed over a Heavenly Stone Embryo and an Initial Destiny Stone to Mu Qingtong, to help complete the last missing spiritual materials.

Currently, the two of them had four Level-A Spiritual Clothes: Miyamoto Tengu, Divine King Statue, Blood Spirit Throne, Blood Spirit Mechanism.

The Divine King Statue had strict usage conditions; it required the user to be a believer of a certain deity and could only be activated after taking the extremely Rare Divine Faith Fruit to grant divine authority.

Since learning this Spiritual Clothes on Witch Island, Xia Feng had barely used it due to never obtaining the Divine Faith Fruit.

As for the Blood Spirit Throne and Blood Spirit Mechanism, the former could use blood to create a blood spirit avatar, whereas the latter could use blood to control a target.

The combination of the two formed a Combined Skill, Throne Mechanism.

This Combined Skill was indeed the most powerful and practical ability, providing a tremendous increase in combat power.

Mu Qingtong didn't hesitate, her thoughts lightly voiced, "Throne Mechanism, Mr. Xia, I suggest you also choose Blood Spirit Mechanism and Blood Spirit Throne, condensing Dual Origin."

Dual Origin? Xia Feng was slightly shocked internally, thinking, that's not, is there such a maneuver? Why haven't I heard of it?

But from the literal meaning, it was easy to understand—it was the moment of condensing the original position, simultaneously and perfectly constructing two level-A Spiritual Clothes' spiritual particle structures, merging into one goal.

One goal, Dual Origin.

If successful, it would simultaneously strengthen two level-A Spiritual Clothes.

Theoretically, such a suit-like Spiritual Clothes was feasible, but the difficulty was ridiculously high, with risks ten times greater than normal Ascension.

At any moment, it could lead to a collapse of the Spiritual Base and total annihilation.

But Xia Feng... was no longer scared!

Hmm, mainly because he had no other choice.

"Dual Origin, huh? Okay," Xia Feng said with a faint smile, "then let's go with that."

Mu Qingtong nodded, "Looking at the boost to combat power, this Condensed Goal is the most practical, but the downside is that for it to function entirely, Mr. Xia, you must always stay by my side—"

"I have to correct you, Miss Mu," Xia Feng interrupted, "It's you who needs to stay forever by my side, not the other way around."

"Stop interrupting, listen to what I'm saying."

"....Alright, go on."

"Each time we condense a goal position, according to the characteristics of level-A Spiritual Clothes, a Goal Condensation Ceremony is required. For Dual Origin, two [Goal Condensation Ceremonies] are needed, which is one complication."

"The second issue, in the months since your death, I've investigated the Star Phenomena Bureau and confirmed that the two of us have been classified by the Empire as the Sirius that will definitely lead to global annihilation."

Mu Qingtong earnestly stared into Xia Feng's dark pupils, "Every time we ascend in rank, a Sirius will twinkle in the Star Realm; although I don't know why the other has twinkled only once and then disappeared. But it's certain that one of us is that twinkling Sirius.

Once we ascend to Venerable, the Sirius will shine again, with unprecedented brilliance, surely drawing the Empire's attention."

Upon hearing Mu Qingtong's explanation, Xia Feng was startled, pondering, is that really happening?

Was the Star Phenomena Bureau really monitoring them through observance of the Star Realm?

If so, that was indeed a problem.

"Nobody knows whether the Empire still has any means to locate and surround Sirius."

Mu Qingtong spoke gravely, "If we want to ascend, we must ensure the Empire can't find us this time. Or, we need to have absolute strength to ensure, if surrounded again, we can escape easily and not be passive like last time."

Xia Feng fell into deep thought; if they wanted a safe place to ascend, the Evil Dragon Space was undoubtedly the best choice.

But he was uncertain about the Empire's high-tier location methods, and whether it would expose that Evil Dragon Miss had awakened.

Moreover... considering the Empress was the residual spirit of Evil Dragon Miss's Eighth Life, the high tiers of the Empire should already be aware of Evil Dragon Miss's awakening, right?

Unless, the Empress, for some reason, did not inform others about it.

As the two conversed, Xia Feng had already maneuvered the capsule ship from a depth of ten thousand meters to the surface. Before long, they were drifting towards the edge of the beach.

The city's silhouette, framed by towering buildings and airborne ships, came into view, ships adorned with twinkling bright light advertisements under the moonlight, presenting a bustling nightscape.

This was Litian City.
