Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Undying Divine Art (Three)

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Zhou Weiqing only felt a flash before his eyes, and everything around him remained unchanged. The stone cat's eye suddenly burst forth with intense light, and at this moment, which was nighttime, the dazzling rose-red color of the gemstone and the cat's eye glow both lit up, illuminating the entire tent in a uniform red hue. At the same time, a wheel-shaped shadowy image appeared out of thin air within Zhou Weiqing's line of sight. This shadowy image was transparent, yet it was clearly divided into six parts, floating before his eyes as if it would change direction with the movement of his body. When Zhou Weiqing raised his hand to try and touch the wheel-shaped shadowy image, he discovered that his palm was outside of the light's range.

  After several attempts, when Zhou Weiqing placed his palm in front of his eyes but still couldn't see the light and shadow outside, he finally understood that this light and shadow didn't appear in the external world, but rather appeared in the pupils of his own eyes. In other words, it was invisible from the outside, and only he himself could feel it.

  The light and shadow of the wheel are neatly divided into six regions, each with a different color: cyan, blue, silver, black, gray, and transparent. When he concentrates his mind on one of the colors, the light and shadow wheel in his eye will quietly rotate, rotating that color to the top.

  An even stranger feeling emerged at this moment, when Zhou Weiqing turned the wheel to blue, he felt a light and agile breath filling his entire body, as if he was about to fly, lifting his left hand, he could vaguely see a blue glow flashing between his fingers. This should be the same wind-based ability as Shangguan Xue'er.

  Zhou Weiqing did not know that it was precisely because of Shangguan Bing'er's Spirit Pearl being a Wind-type ability that she could become his sacrifice during the most critical moment when his Heavenly Jewel was awakening last night. If at that time, Shangguan Bing'er's attributes were incompatible with his, then ultimately he would have exploded and died, and before he exploded and died, he would also have torn Shangguan Bing'er into pieces.

  The wheel spun into the blue area, and suddenly, a force with a hint of numbness appeared, accompanied by flashes of lightning. The cyan light on his left hand was replaced by several dark blue electric lights as thick as small snakes, constantly twisting and turning, making the interior of the tent flicker with uncertain brightness. Zhou Weiqing blinked his eyes, thinking to himself: My Sky Jewel has a second attribute - Thunder and Lightning! Does the Sky Jewel really have such an attribute? I've never heard of it before, looks like I'll have to ask Xue Bing tomorrow.

  As his mind moved, the attribute wheel spun to silver, and in an instant, the numbness and electric light that had been present before disappeared. The light inside the tent also changed to a soft silver color, which was extremely stable this time. What's more strange is that the silver light not only appeared on Zhou Weiqing's hands but also simultaneously appeared on every part of his body. Moreover, he could clearly feel that when the attribute wheel turned to the silver area, his heavenly energy consumption speed increased much faster than before. However, he couldn't figure out what attribute this silver area was. So, he casually named this silver area "Unknown Attribute".

  Arriving at the fourth black region, it goes without saying that it's naturally his own father's inherited dark attribute. The gloomy aura caused the entire tent to become pitch-black, and Zhou Weiqing's consumption of heavenly energy was almost identical to his previous silver consumption speed.

  Zhou Weiqing's heart moved, and he already vaguely understood what the properties of that silver area were. The Dark attribute was one of the four major upper-level attributes, so its consumption speed was faster than other attribute systems. Since it was the same as the silver area's consumption speed, it should also belong to the four major upper-level attributes. Apart from the Dark attribute, the other three major upper-level attributes were Light, Life, and Space. It couldn't be Light, because light and darkness cannot coexist, which Zhou Weiqing still understood. Nor could it be Life, or else he would have a clear sense of aura. By process of elimination, that left only one possibility - the Space attribute.

  Among the four superior attributes, he had already occupied two of them. Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but feel extremely pleased with himself. Adding to that were the Wind and Lightning Attributes, which was an incredibly powerful combination. Not to mention, there were still two more attributes left.

  The attribute wheel spun, and when it reached the fifth area, Zhou Weiqing only stayed for an extremely short time before quickly moving on to the next attribute. The reason was simple: when he turned the attribute wheel to the gray area of the fifth attribute, the cold feeling that had appeared more than once instantly reappeared, and the negative auras of violence and bloodlust that had flashed by earlier almost overwhelmed him, nearly causing his mind to collapse.

  Subconsciously, he shifted from the fifth attribute to the sixth attribute. However, when his thoughts turned to the colorless and transparent sixth attribute, it was almost instantaneous that nearly a third of the remaining heavenly power in his body was swept away, instantly drained. Zhou Weiqing only felt a twist around his body, a blackness before his eyes, and a feeling of weakness spreading throughout every corner of his body. The attribute wheel in his eyes had also quietly disappeared, and the light from the variant cat-eye gemstone on his left hand dimmed significantly.

  Heaving heavily, Zhou Weiqing's heart was filled with a lingering fear. Everything had been normal until the last two attributes appeared. The fifth attribute was somewhat understandable, that aura filled with evil and bloodthirsty scent, he could call it the Evil Attribute for now. But what about the last one? Why did his own willpower get completely absorbed by the remaining Heavenly Energy in his body whenever he thought of it?

  The four major dead holes that had been opened up were diligently absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to supplement Zhou Weiqing's own body, making him feel slightly better. As his mood gradually calmed down, Zhou Weiqing also made a certain judgment about the sixth attribute. Although he couldn't guess what the sixth attribute was, he could confirm that this sixth attribute indeed existed.

  The Bi Shi Mao Yan is an extremely special intent bead that requires the intent bead to have more than four attributes. The sixth attribute cannot be perceived as belonging to anything, one reason being that it has some similarities with spatial attributes and its attribute characteristics are not obvious. Another reason should be its specialty. Instantly extracting heavenly power to make oneself leave the attribute wheel, there is only one explanation: with your current heavenly power, you are still insufficient to support the ability to use this attribute.

  Having understood this point, Zhou Weiqing naturally felt a great sense of relief. Now that his Heavenly Energy was insufficient, it didn't mean that his Heavenly Energy would always be insufficient. As long as he continued to cultivate, and his Undying Will could smoothly break through, there would come a day when he could use this attribute.
