Cross went over the uses that Aurora told him and he was deeply shocked! They really weren't called Heavenly Profound Treasures for nothing! The new uses were:
1. Sharing breakthroughs, insights, and senses. The senses sharing was able to be turned off, Cross turned it off on all the necklaces. He didn't think there was ever going to be a use for that...
2. Teleportation between necklaces. Either of the 4 of them could teleport to each other from anywhere! Aurora said that the teleporting function was exclusive within Realms, which meant that they couldn't teleport to an entirely different Realm. Cross nodded at this and Aurora said that potentially she could in the future if she went up another rank.
3. Able to communicate from anywhere. Basically, Cross and the girls could talk no matter where they were in the entire world. Cross asked why they couldn't teleport the same and Aurora explained that they communicate through the Spirits but to teleport they have to go through space, which is 1,000,000 times harder than talking.
4. The 3 colored Necklaces will send their energy to the Main necklace and in turn the Main necklace will purify the energy and send it back. Basically, the energy that they absorbed was it's purest form and Cross got a little bit every time they cultivated.
5. When Cross cultivates his own Void energy will purify all the girls' bodies due to it's properties and allow them to achieve enlightenment easier. Basically, it was a supreme cultivation treasure!
6. The wearer of the necklace can completely avoid Divine Senses. They can still be seen with the naked eyes but it it's just Divine Sense, then they were completely invisible!
Cross sucked a cold breath of air at the uses. Most of the uses were basically multipliers for their cultivation speed! The Teleportation and Communication was perfect for them and the last one.. It was simply Heaven Defying! He definitely made the right choice devouring the Wheel!
Aurora spoke "Hehe~ Master.. There's actually one last use..." Cross said "Oh? What is it?" Aurora cleared her throat and said "Master, the black beads are capable of forming into your armor... If used with the Sky Poison Pearl, the armor will also passively release World Destroying Poison: Life Extinguishing Myriad Tribulations."
Cross was stunned and said "The armor.." Aurora said confidently "Has all the previous functions and is countless times stronger than Master's previous string armor!" Cross swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but say "Aurora, you're amazing!"
Aurora giggled and said "It's all thanks to Master~" Cross smiled and sped up to tell Jasmine the good news.
He came to see Yun Che on the ground and the Netherworld Udumbara flower still wailing with half of it's petals left. Cross sighed and walked over saying "What a fool! So much for just a flower? For my woman no less!" despite saying that, he had a warm smile on his face.
Perhaps in this world, only Yun Che was crazy enough to go so far for his master. Cross plucked the flower and sealed it before placing it in Yun Che's hands. He looked over at the pile of ashes and saw something glowing, he walked over and it was a black stone!
He was confused and picked up the stone, he sent some void energy inside and the stone started shaking intensely. A voice came to him "You... Have understood the Law of Nothingness?!" Cross said "Uhh... Sure? You're talking about the Void? If so then yes."
The voice was speechless before saying "You.. You are truly amazing! Eh? !!!! You're! You're! Impossible!" Cross was confused and said "Um. Can you tell me what this is? Some Divine Art or something? I hope not, they're always so disappointing...."
The voice sounded like it just threw up a mouthful of blood before saying "YOU! Of course Divine arts would be nothing to you! You are 'Her' child! Plus you have 'His' Castle! This is the World-Defying Heaven Manual..." her voice softened to a whisper as she continued "Not that you need it..."
Cross scratched his head and said "World-Defying Heaven Manual? Isn't this a bit too grand of a name? Why not something simpler? How about [God's Record]? This is much better, more neat, and not so long."
The voice was silent for a while before sighing and asking "Are you an idiot?" Cross said "No. I'm usually told I'm very smart, I guess to someone who came up with such a ridiculous name I would be the idiot..." The voice said snappily "My names are amazing! You're names are ridiculous! You're ridiculous! You're whole family is ridiculous!"
Cross rolled his eyes and said "Alright seriously, do you have Void Arts? As of right now I only have one self-made Void art..." the voice was silent for a moment before Cross felt something in his mind, then the voice said in disbelief "You came up with that on your own!??!!?"
Cross said "Yeah." the voice trembled and said "I cannot give anything to you, but I can help you once." Cross felt his 'Void Step' was changing and evolving, everything he had mixed into it was becoming seamless as if it had always existed like that.
The Star God's Broken Shadow, Hidden Flowing Lighting, Extreme Mirage Lighting, and the Original 'Void Step' all came together and became something new! It had all the parts Cross wanted, After Images, Stealth, and Speed while still maintaining the original purpose of the Art!
The levels stayed the same but the movements were much more complex. Cross went into a daze, comprehending the technique. He already had a solid foundation and understanding of it, so he directly broke through to the 3rd 'Step'.
The voice rang in his mind "I've completed the technique, everything you wanted is in it. I also took it for myself and added it to my collection~" Cross felt his mouth twitch and he said "So what's your purpose?" The voice was silent for a moment before saying "I cannot say."
Cross rolled his eyes and said "Whatever you say. Thank you." the voice just hummed before disappearing. Cross threw the stone into Yun Che's hands before throwing his black fire into the air and sucking in all the remaining darkness.
A while later
Yun Che woke up and said "Eh?" Cross smiled and said "What's up little bro! You're mental strength increased by a ton! Plus, you got the flower! That stone was in the ashes over here. It's some art called... Uhhh... World-Defying Heaven Manual. Yeah, that's right." as he continued to absorb the Darkness energy.
Jasmine was absolutely floored in shock! World-Defying Heaven Manual!?!?! That's... !!! She needed to talk to Cross right away.
Cross finished cleaning up the Darkness energy and smiled, feeling his energy evolved into Pure Darkness and Death. Yun Che and Cross went to the Pearl and Jasmine grabbed him saying "What did you say that was again?!" Cross sighed and said "Don't make me say it again... the name is so long."
Yun Che held out the flower with a big smile and Jasmine took it with a straight face. She was disturbed by the name of the rock. Yun Che couldn't figure anything out and neither could Jasmine, Yun Che threw it in a corner of the Pearl before going outside.
Cross smiled at Jasmine and said "I have a BIG surprise for you!" Jasmine pointed at herself in confusion and Cross nodded before waving, a crack opened and Feng Xue'er and Luna came out. Cross giggled happily and said "Close your eyes." they all closed their eyes and Cross cheekily kissed all three of them.
They pouted and opened their eyes, Cross chuckled and put their necklaces back around their necks. Luna said "They're bigger?" Cross said "Not just that!" Jasmine said "What did y-" before freezing. Feng Xue'er and Luna also froze, hearing voices in their heads.
Jasmine grabbed Cross by the ears and said crazily "What happened?!" Luna and Feng Xue'er were also curious, Cross smirked and said "You know the 7 Heavenly Profound Treasures?" they all nodded and Cross sneered "There's only 6 now."
Jasmine's eyes widened and Luna said "You..." Feng Xue'er gasped saying "You made these with a Heavenly Profound Treasure?!" Cross nodded and said "That annoying Evil infant Wheel is gone now. Introducing the 'Prayer Beads of the Elven God'!" he smiled and said "Each of your necklaces has an artifact spirit and they are connected to my artifact spirit, Aurora!"
Cross smiled gently and said "All of them together are a single Heavenly Profound Treasure... Just like all of you are to me." Luna smirked, Feng Xue'er giggled, and Jasmine snorted with a sneer as she said "So cheesy." Cross coughed and said "Yes, well, you should name your artifact spirits. They will tell you what the necklaces are capable of."
Luna kissed him and whispered "Mmm, come see me tonight~" Feng Xue'er jumped up and kissed Cross before leaving to the inner world with Luna, leaving Cross and Jasmine.
Jasmine's expression was constantly changing as she listened to her spirit tell her the uses of the necklace. When it was gone, she took a deep breath and looked at Cross with an extremely loving expression. She said softly "You... You really are the most amazing man I've ever met."
Cross smiled and pulled her to him by her waist as he said "Naturally, your man is the most amazing. Jasmine.. I-" Jasmine kissed him, cutting off his words. She pulled back and said softly "I know... You don't have to say it." Cross pushed her hair behind her ear and caressed her cheek with his thumb as he said "You're going to reconstruct your body?"
Jasmine said "You knew I lied?" Cross smiled and nodded, but he said "I would want you to wait for a bit though. I need a bit more time to get something for you... Can you do that for me?" Jasmine hummed and nodded gently, melting into his embrace with a warm smile.
Cross kissed her head and said "It won't take long, I promise." Jasmine smiled and hummed in response. He laid Jasmine on her bed and smiled as he poked her small nose and said "I'll leave. Familiarize yourself with the necklace..."
He hesitated before kissing her forehead and whispering "I love you." immediately after that he teleported out of the Pearl in a hurry.
Jasmine's mind was blank hearing those words, her entire being froze before her face turned red and she giggled happily like a little girl, rolling around in her bed, full of extreme joy!
Cross appeared next to Yun Che, inside a room. He sat down and Yun Che smirked "Good?" Cross let out a breath of air and said "Amazing!" before lighting a cigarette and shaking a bit, he felt a huge weight lift off his chest.
He leaned back in the air and exhaled a mouthful of smoke while Yun Che recovered on his bed. Cross felt much better but not completely. There was still one last weight left but one at a time was good for his health.
