    Chapter 445

    Feng Qianye had never imagined that one day her head would be severed.

    Much less inside her own cave abode, protected by countless formations and hidden mechanisms.

    Yet as her head spun through the air...

    She instantly realized that this was reality.

    There are many things in life that seem impossible—

    until they happen.

    At that moment, Feng Qianye also understood something else.

    With her head separated from her body, death was inevitable.

    There was no saving herself.

    Although her body was gone, she still retained enough consciousness to perform one final technique—

    self-destruction.

    Everything had happened far too suddenly.

    She had made no preparations.

    Everything had been progressing perfectly.

    How had it suddenly become like this?

    If she had known...

    Why had she become greedy for Feng Wei's Wind spiritual power?

    She already had Feng Yuer.

    Waiting another hundred years would have allowed her to enter the Unity Realm without taking such a risk.

    Cultivation...

    should never be rushed.

    Nor should one be greedy.

    Unfortunately...

    Regret came too late.

    Perhaps...

    This was Heaven's will.


    ---

    The world was always full of unexpected twists.

    Just when someone believed success was within reach...

    Just when they stood proudly at the peak...

    Everything could collapse in an instant.

    Like a game of mahjong.

    Just when victory seemed certain...

    The winning tile never appeared.

    That...

    was reality.


    ---

    The light in Feng Qianye's eyes gradually dimmed.

    She struggled to turn her gaze toward Su Hao.

    He calmly returned the Universal Blade to its sheath and slowly walked toward her.

    This...

    was true despair.

    Not anger.

    Not fear.

    But the certainty that everything had ended.


    ---

    Without hesitation, Feng Qianye activated the only technique she still possessed.

    Self-destruction.

    Golden light burst from her eyes and mouth.

    Her remaining spiritual power began to collapse inward.


    ---

    "Level Two Lightning."

    KRAAK!

    A bolt of lightning struck her head before the technique could complete.

    The self-destruction was interrupted instantly.


    ---

    When consciousness returned...

    Feng Qianye had only one thought.

    "I can't even choose how to die..."


    ---

    The Universal Blade flashed twice.

    Her head was cut cleanly into four pieces.

    Her consciousness disappeared forever.


    ---

    Su Hao quietly sheathed his blade.

    "So..."

    "Nascent Soul cultivators really do hunt newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators."

    "So this is what the so-called Unity Realm truly means."

    "On the surface, it's merely a cultivation realm."

    "But beneath that single word lies naked greed and cruelty."


    ---

    Originally...

    Su Hao had not intended to kill Feng Qianye.

    If she had been willing to explain everything calmly...

    He would have been willing to leave her alive.

    Unfortunately...

    Not everyone wished to communicate.

    People who cultivated for centuries often possessed overwhelming confidence in themselves.

    Once they made a decision...

    They rarely questioned it.

    Su Hao understood one thing very clearly.

    Communication also carried a cost.

    For people unwilling to communicate—

    there was no point wasting time.

    The simplest solution was often the most efficient.


    ---

    He first recorded Feng Qianye's complete body data.

    Afterward, he placed her corpse inside the laboratory.

    He dispersed every formation throughout the cave abode.

    Her shattered head was quietly buried beneath the earth.

    Then...

    He leisurely began searching the entire cave.


    ---

    Nothing could escape Su Hao's Spiritual Intent.

    Every hidden compartment...

    Every concealed formation...

    Every secret room...

    was exposed.

    Even the bottle of Redspring Spirit Refinement Elixir that Feng Qianye had hidden deep underground was quickly discovered.

    Its appearance matched the fragment Su Hao already possessed.

    It was clearly another portion of the same treasure.


    ---

    After that...

    Books.

    Elixirs.

    Cultivation materials.

    Artifacts.

    Spirit stones.

    Everything of value was collected into his storage space.


    ---

    Finally...

    Su Hao discovered three enormous crystal spheres.

    Two were blue.

    One was white.

    Each was roughly the size of a basketball.

    He picked up one of the blue spheres.

    "What is this?"

    Searching through Little Light's records...

    He quickly found the answer.

    "A Spirit Storage Stone."


    ---

    Spirit Storage Stones were special treasures capable of preserving spiritual power for extremely long periods.

    The finest quality examples could preserve spiritual power for thousands of years.

    The ones before him were not the highest grade—

    but they were very close.


    ---

    Scanning them carefully...

    Su Hao discovered that both blue Spirit Storage Stones were already full.

    Each contained enormous quantities of Nascent Soul spiritual power.

    Clearly...

    They had been extracted from other Nascent Soul cultivators Feng Qianye had previously killed.


    ---

    His attention shifted toward the white sphere.

    "This one is empty."

    "So..."

    "It should be prepared specifically to store my spiritual power."

    The implication was obvious.

    Feng Qianye had prepared everything long ago.


    ---

    Su Hao casually stored all three Spirit Storage Stones before completing one final inspection of the cave.

    Finding nothing else of value...

    He returned directly to the laboratory.


    ---

    Even if someone later discovered Feng Qianye missing...

    No one would suspect him.

    After all...

    Nascent Soul cultivators rarely remained inside their sects.

    Most preferred wandering the outside world alone, establishing hidden cave abodes and cultivating in complete secrecy.

    Everyone feared becoming prey.

    Feng Qianye's disappearance would simply be assumed to be another secluded cultivation session.

    According to Su Hao's estimate...

    The sect would need to miss her at several major gatherings before realizing something was wrong.

    That would likely take years.


    ---

    Inside the laboratory...

    Su Hao placed Feng Qianye's corpse upon the examination table.

    Looking at the empty Spirit Storage Stone...

    He frowned.

    "Now..."

    "How do I transfer spiritual power into this thing?"


    ---

    He searched every relevant record available.

    Nothing.

    There were no instructions whatsoever.

    So...

    He simply began experimenting.


    ---

    He listed every possible operating method.

    Ranked them by probability.

    Then tested them one after another.


    ---

    Eventually...

    He discovered the correct method.

    "The Spirit Storage Stone must be placed against the severed section..."

    "Then Spiritual Intent gradually guides the remaining spiritual power inside."


    ---

    Su Hao immediately began the transfer.

    Two hours later...

    He looked helplessly at the progress.

    "Not even two percent?"

    "This is painfully slow."

    Guiding another person's spiritual power proved unexpectedly difficult.

    At this speed...

    Completely transferring Feng Qianye's spiritual power would require nearly four days.


    ---

    Su Hao stopped immediately.

    Instead...

    He entered his internal space and designed a completely new rune array based on the operating principles of the Spirit Storage Stone.

    An hour later...

    He emerged.

    The experimental table transformed into Diamond Armor.

    Runes rapidly spread across its surface.

    A fully automated Spirit Storage Formation took shape.

    After supplying spiritual power...

    The array activated.

    Hummm—

    Soft light filled the room.

    Within Su Hao's Spiritual Intent...

    Feng Qianye's remaining spiritual power slowly flowed into the Spirit Storage Stone on its own.


    ---

    "Perfect."

    "Now I only need to replenish the formation's energy occasionally."

    "The process still takes four days..."

    "But I'm free to do other things."


    ---

    After confirming the formation operated flawlessly...

    Su Hao pulled over a reclining chair.

    Lay back comfortably.

    Closed his eyes.

    His consciousness entered his internal world.

    The surroundings transformed into a quiet study.

    He casually selected one of Feng Qianye's books and began reading.

    Perhaps...

    Somewhere within these countless records...

    There would be clues concerning the Nascent Soul or Unity Realm.

    He held little expectation.

    Still...

    He had looted libraries from numerous sects.

    Surely not every book was useless.

    Knowledge...

    Had to be hidden somewhere among them.


    ---

    Four days later...

    The Spirit Storage Formation completed its task.

    Su Hao opened his eyes with slight disappointment.

    "I searched quite a lot..."

    "But found nothing useful."

    "It seems knowledge concerning the higher realms is deliberately concealed."

    "No matter."

    "I have plenty of time."

    "I'll uncover it eventually."


    ---

    After properly preserving Feng Qianye's body...

    He picked up the now-filled Spirit Storage Stone.

    "This treasure is remarkable."

    "It preserves spiritual power almost as naturally as spirit stones preserve spiritual energy."


    ---

    A new idea suddenly surfaced.

    "If enough Spirit Storage Stones existed..."

    "They could replace spirit stones."

    "Kill cultivators."

    "Extract their spiritual power."

    "Seal it inside these stones."

    "They could then power formations indefinitely."

    "I've heard rumors that certain demonic cultivators once used methods like these."

    "They were branded heretics because of it."

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    Whether those rumors were true or not...

    He didn't know.

    But from a purely technical standpoint...

    The idea was entirely feasible.
