When system cheat becomes rampant!
Chapter 736 - 540 The So-Called Heavenly Connection (4000 Words)_2

——

Although he couldn't be certain about achieving the Heavenly Connection realm, the good news was that he now was a martial artist in the late stages of orifice transforming, which meant he could light up another constellation.

The Chamber Constellation he encountered last time was particularly sly, with a total of nine seals. Xiang Beifei had only unlocked seven, leaving two that he had not yet attempted to break. However, it was obvious that something inside the Chamber Constellation was restlessly stirring.

Now that Xiang Beifei's strength had reached another level, he should be sufficient to suppress whatever was inside. It was time to see exactly what sort of entity it was.

He called Xiaohei over, took out the Spirit Gathering Book, and flipped to the page of the Chamber Constellation. Then he used two spiritual power crystals from the mid-stage of orifice transforming and unlocked the last two seals of the Chamber Constellation!

Hum!

A vague white fog slowly materialized and hovered in front of him.

This mass of fog was too ordinary. If Xiang Beifei had to describe it, it seemed just like a common, unremarkable mist that could be seen anywhere on a moist morning.

Without a specific shape or any apparent abilities, it was just a clump of fog – simple and plain.

Xiang Beifei's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he stared at the mass of fog.

Since the fog had clearly tried to attack him last time, he wouldn't really treat it as just any ordinary fog.

However, the fog seemed to know its place; after being unsealed, unlike Erha that would become all restless and eager for a fight, it stayed quiet, shrinking in its spot like a well-behaved baby.

If it weren't for Xiang Beifei knowing there was something off about this fog last time, he might have indeed let his guard down.

"Woof woof!"

Xiaohei scratched its head in surprise, pointing at the words in the Spirit Gathering Book.

This time, the Spirit Gathering Book had some markings:

[Chamber Constellation: Mustard Seed in Palm]

Beyond that, there seemed to be no further description, but the name alone was enough to astound him.

"Mustard Seed in Palm!"

Xiang Beifei was extremely surprised!

Last time at Zi Hou, that mysterious woman who took Zhao Ruizhong to Zi Hou deliberately came up to him, sniffed him, and said he carried the scent of Mustard Seed in Palm!

At the time, Xiang Beifei was pondering what Mustard Seed in Palm could be.

Yet, he had never imagined that his very own Chamber Constellation enclosed it!

But here came the problem again, even if Mustard Seed in Palm was sealed within, he still didn't know what it was used for!

"Grandpa, do you know about Mustard Seed in Palm?" Xiang Beifei turned and asked.

"Mustard Seed in Palm?"

Xiang Qingde frowned slightly and shook his head after a moment.

"However, grandpa's system interface did show the words Mustard Seed in Palm." Xiang Beifei recounted in detail the words that appeared on his grandfather's system interface last time.

"That must have been something that happened later on," Xiang Qingde said.

Xiang Beifei felt somewhat disappointed; he poked the mass of fog. It felt soft and elusive, and it lacked even a scent. Xiang Beifei could not smell the "scent of Mustard Seed in Palm" mentioned by the mysterious woman.

The fog seemed to be playing dead, completely ignoring Xiang Beifei, and he had no idea how to control it.

"Woof woof!"

Xiaohei, on the other hand, was quite impolite as it jumped on top of the fog and kneaded it like clay, pinching here and there, shaping it into an image of Erha, looking somewhat dim-witted.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but laugh.

However, even after Xiaohei's kneading, the Mustard Seed in Palm did not resist in the slightest, which was entirely different from the situation before it was completely unsealed.

Xiang Beifei tried for a long time but still could not get it to move. In the end, he could only resignedly stuff it back into the Spirit Gathering Book, caution was necessary, after all.

Afterward, he turned his attention to the next constellation, the Bi constellation.

Bi constellation, there were only two orifice transforming late-stage seals.

Xiang Beifei had quite a few spiritual power crystals from the orifice transforming period; two late-stage seals weren't much of a concern.

Illuminating the Bi constellation became routine.

[Bi constellation: Abundant Seal]

A square, black jade stone, just like a stamp. The stamp was no more than an inch wide, and underneath was a strange pattern that resembled a whirling vortex.

Beyond that, there was no detailed introduction, and he didn't even know how to handle this stamp.

"What the hell is this Abundant Seal?"

Xiang Beifei rubbed his forehead, increasingly helpless.

He didn't want to complain anymore; up to now, the closer he got to the end of the twenty-eight constellations, the more puzzling the unlocked items were—the kind where he had absolutely no clue.

Xiang Qingde furrowed his brow slightly; even he had not seen many of the items from Xiang Beifei's twenty-eight constellations, not even the Five Pieces of Stone—he could only name them but knew not their origin.

This was a headache for Xiang Beifei.

"Well, better than nothing."

Xiang Beifei wasn't too concerned; he directly tossed it back into the Spirit Gathering Book to see if it would be of use in the future.

However, his attention was more on Mustard Seed in Palm.

Because of the Mustard Seed in Palm, he felt it was very strange; in his eyes, it definitely meant something.

Xiang Beifei eventually set out, departing from Skeleton Village.

After half a year in Skeleton Village, Xiaohei and Erha had become familiar with the skeletons. Erha, especially, was quite reluctant to leave; after all, it had been catching desolate beasts for barbecuing, tirelessly experimenting with recipes, and even created dishes with different flavors based on different flames.

For example, Erha's current favorites were the white, red, green, and purple flames—four types of flames that produced a mix of four different flavors. Before leaving, it took a large amount of this flame-mixed roasted beef, storing it in Xiaohei's bubbles.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but be reminded of Kong Daming's Gluttonous Feast System. When he was a pioneer, he possessed culinary skills, and he had a special ability named "Samadhi Fire," which allowed him to infuse the flavor of cumin, spicy hot, and five-spice into the fire when roasting desolate beasts.

His ability seemed to be not much different from the flames used by the skeletons; perhaps the essence of this world was interconnected after all.

"Young master Xiang, please take care. On behalf of the Si Fire Tribe, I thank you once again!"

The White Flame Skeleton accompanied Xiang Beifei all the way to the border of Si Hou, bowing solemnly.

"No need to thank me; I've reorganized this place, and the formations I've laid down are sufficient for dealing with those Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage. The conscious my grandfather left behind will protect you," Xiang Beifei stated.

Xiang Qingde watched his departing grandson, with worry and reluctance in his eyes. He was merely an independent consciousness that remained, bound to this land and unable to stray too far; otherwise, he would have followed Xiang Beifei on his journey no matter what.

"Be careful." Xiang Qingde patted Xiang Beifei's shoulder.

"I will," Xiang Beifei replied.

He was going to seek the end of the outer wilds, to find the Dao that belonged to him.

Youmong scampered out from the embrace of a Green Flame Skeleton, where it had been rooted among the bones for the past half-year, growing robustly. Yet, compared to them, it still preferred Xiang Beifei's spiritual power.

All the skeletons stood there, watching Xiang Beifei, then each of their eye sockets flashed with a faint flame. These flames, varying in color, swirled in the air like fireworks, converging around Xiang Beifei.

"This is a little bit of the life essence fire from all our tribespeople, hoping to be of some assistance to you. Our very existence is to nourish and nurture this essence fire," the White Flame Skeleton bowed and said.

The life essence fire was fundamental to the skeletons' existence, a race born from these fires—extinguishment meant their life's end. This was similar to the life essence stones of the stone people encountered earlier.

The life essence fire possessed immense power; to the Moon God Race, it was a supreme offering to exchange for greater might from the underworld. It was also a sought-after prize by the Moon God Race and the Ghostly Visage.

For Xiang Beifei, having the life essence fire's use was unknown, but to Erha, it was a condiment, and thus it was more overjoyed than anyone else, happily accepting it.

After farewells, Xiang Beifei continued on his way to the next mound.

He had controlled the mound spirit of the blood altar with two bricks, transforming the mound spirit into a compass. The compass pointed the direction very accurately.
