Against Heaven's Will Chapter 4 - Upgrade Fragments - Part 2

Chapter 4: Upgrade Fragnts - Part 2

Xuefeng was different from all other Fate Holders, the hosts for Fate Spirits. Many of them treated their Fate Spirits as slaves, only exploiting them for knowledge and their abilities with no feelings involved.

Xuefeng, on the other hand, ca from Earth’s modern tis, so his thoughts and values were much more developed. It didn’t matter for him if the won in front of him were Spirits, Elves, Titans, or Humans. There were many races but Xuefeng grouped them all into one category, Won. No matter the race, every woman deserved his respect and love.

Especially if they were ant to spend the rest of his life with him as Ling and Ming would.

Being his Fate Spirits, they were bound to him forever, or until he dies. Only after his death would they be separated and return to the reincarnation circle, searching for another host to continue their lives.

In theory, Fate Spirits lived forever.

Knowing the two beauties were sentenced to stay with him for a lifeti, Xuefeng naturally treated them special, considering them as his won. He was the only male they could be with so they treated him the sa.

Eventually, feelings brewed between them.

"Us too..." Ling murmured before they started, asking to even up the score.

Tianshi concurred the idea, leaning over to suck on his neck.

"Ah, just one..." Xuefeng gave in.

Ling’s lips were needy, pleading for attention before eventually opening fully, gushing with passion and energy.

Tianshi was different, attacking with her own plan from the start, knowing exactly what she wanted. She tried to make the best use of the limited ti they had.

She almost lost him once and decided to take full advantage of the ti she has with him. Tianshi also ca from Earth, following him after he saved her life. Both carried their love from one world to another, proving that love could overco every hardship.

Pa! Pa!

Xuefeng’s heavy hands smacked their butts at the sa ti, returning back the order.

"Enough," Xuefeng called out and turned to Ming. "Is there anything else I need to know about those Upgrade Fragnts? How can I find them most efficiently? I suppose this is the only thod to improve the quality of my Qi, right?"

"It’s not the only thod but the fastest and most efficient one. As I said, Upgrade Fragnts are born from nature and it can be considered a mini phenonon. It is not necessarily impossible to find one but luck definitely plays a huge role in Fragnt Hunting," Ming replied.

She didn’t stop and added in one go, "If I rember correctly, there are usually close to a thousand new Upgrade Fragnts being born every day on each Land. It sounds like a lot but considering the size of each land and the number of Cultivators coveting them, its an extrely small number."

"Is it possible to just buy them?" Xuefeng asked curiously, already finding the hunt botherso.

"It is but almost no one is selling them. Everyone who finds them is either using them or exchanging for high ranked treasures. No amount of Spirit Stones will help you buy them."

"How much of those fragnts do we need to improve our Qi?" Tianshi joined the conversation. "It shouldn’t be such a high number, right? All those Cultivators laughed at us for still being at the base level so it must an all of them already advanced, right?"

"Those Cultivators were mostly after their Third Refining. The number of Upgrade Fragnts required is increasing the more you refine. First Refining needs ten fragnts, Second Refining almost fifty while the third a hundred. Everyone is stuck at that point as the next one requires a whooping five hundred fragnts. Unless you have connections, it’s really hard to find so many on your own." Ming answered and took a deep breath, preparing for a long lesson.

"In theory, you can refine your Qi endlessly as long as you have Upgrade Fragnts but in practice, it’s impossible. At so point, the effects are so small you would need a mountain amount of Upgrade Fragnts to complete another refining."

"There was one Expert called Refining Master who devoted his life to determine the maximum number of Qi Refining a Cultivator can perform. Eventually, he stopped at the Ninth Refining and created a universal guide that everyone is using to this day."

"Mhmm," all three listeners nodded their heads, showing they were listening attentively. Ling was also learning, not having much knowledge about the Heaven Realm.

"You ntioned Qi Materialization being the na of Fourth Refining. What are the rest?" Xuefeng questioned second.

"Even though you can refine your Qi nine tis, only two of those really matter, Fourth Refining and Seventh Refining," Ming continued. "After refining four tis, you can finally materialize your Qi, this stage called Qi Materialization."

"At that point, your Qi is so dense it can beco your weapon like that Shadow Assassin from before, almost acting like a physical body. The Seventh Refining, Qi Incarnation, is even more powerful, allowing you to temporarily slip your own soul into the body made from Qi. Those bodies are commonly known as Avatars," Ming introduced.

Xuefeng’s eyes widened in realization. Everything made sense now.

Back in Earth Realm, he t one of those Avatars after he consud Titan’s Blood, gaining so of their bloodline. Only now did he recall the Avatar words, claiming they will find him once he enters the Heaven Realm to take him ho to his brothers and sisters.

Should he be worried already? He didn’t plan to join any races.

"So should we focus on gathering Upgrade Fragnts from now on?" Tianshi asked curiously. "That Qi Refining sounds quite powerful. No wonder everyone gives it so much attention."

Ming had a quick response to that.

"Balance is the key to a healthy growth. Qi Refining is important as it improves your battle prowess but without proper Skills and Cultivation, you will be like the group we just defeated, useless. In our case, we already have the skills so we only need to focus on the other two. After all, with your Elental Bracelet, having high quality Qi would make you invincible."

It was indeed a terrifying combo. His only Elental Stone gave him the ultimate power over Air Elent but if he t soone with a higher quality Air Qi than him, Xuefeng doubt he could control it easily. If two fireballs t of different quality, the one with more Qi Refining would win.

"I suggest we try to collect as many Upgrade Fragnts as we can while traveling but we shouldn’t lose our main goal," Xuefeng proposed. "All my wives are split throughout the Heaven Realm. Until we all reunite, I don’t plan to heavily focus on anything else."

So things were important but his wives were the top priority.

"Mhmm, I agree," Tianshi nodded, fully supporting him.

"What about Cultivation stag—" Xuefeng was already in the process of changing topics when Ming suddenly turned around, gazing at the waterfall. "We have a company."

Poof. Poof.

Ling and Ming disappeared back into Xuefeng’s body, ready to support him from the inside.

’It’s the sa people from before. It seems they found us using so Tracking Artefact. You left so much of your Qi behind that I shouldn’t be surprised,’ Ming comnted. ’They shouldn’t know where exactly are we. I fully concealed this cave.’

The waterfall was huge while the cave only few ters tall. Unless they bombarded the whole place, they wouldn’t discover them.

Tianshi let go of him, just in case he needed to act swiftly but still stayed close. They watched the lone middle-aged man fly in front of the waterfall and stop, watching them from afar.

He cupped his fists and called out, "Young Master, I ca in peace. I was sent by the Main Elder of our Sect. Can we talk?"
