He thought it was someone whose cultivation level is extremely high, or maybe even an immortal was inside this fragment.
"After all, manipulating time and destiny is something even a cultivator whose cultivation is extremely high is probably very difficult," he thought.
But it was all done by this artefact fragment. If a fragment is capable of all doing this, then what about the complete artefact?
What grade will that artefact be?
Su Kang is not even able to think about the extent of the power of the complete artefact.
"You are the spirit of the original artifact?" Su Kang asked in a surprised voice.
An artefact spirit survived even when that artefact is broken.
It's hard to imagine something like this even possible.
"I do not know about the original artefact that you are talking about. But I am a spirit born from this artefact," replied that voice.
"Born from this artifact?" But isn't that just a fragment of the original artefact?" Su Kang asked with confusion.
"Since I have gained wisdom, my body has always looked like this," replied the spirit.
This spirit didn't even have any form unlike other artefact spirits that can be seen.
Su Kang is confused, but he didn't try to ask more about this topic.
He asked, "Then how should I address you, senior?"
"You can decide this yourself; I have no opinion," replied the artefact in the same metallic tone.
"Then can you tell me more about the powers that you gave me in detail?"
Su Kang asked the most important question that he was worried about.
"When I arrived in this world after travelling in space cracks, I was protecting your soul with the power of destiny; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for a mortal soul to survive that journey."
"I used a lot of destiny energy in that journey, so I was looking for a place where the destiny of heaven and earth was gathered in huge amounts to recover."
"But before that, I released your soul after nurturing it with my energy."
"That energy allowed your soul to reincarnate in possibly the best circumstances, like family, talent, environment, and others. But some of my power was in your soul. "
"When your destiny will start losing favour and your death is near, then that power in your soul will help you to see one of the most probable future events related to your bad fortune."
"In this way you can avoid your death for one time." The spirit gave Su Kang a full picture of everything.
He realised he was afraid of the fragment in the beginning.
During the entire conversation he was still near the gate of his room.
After hearing about it from the spirit, he has a deep understanding of his reincarnation, and he was thankful for the favour he received from the spirit.
That power allowed him this life, good talent, and even a harmonious family.
Even that little anger and blame for killing him vanished from his heart.
Its power took his life in the past, and now that same power allowed him to change his destiny.
He was once again given a chance to change that tragic ending, and he is extremely grateful for this opportunity.
He heard someone coming from outside and ended the conversation. He went to the table to put the fragment into his space ring.
Soon he heard the call and opened the door.
...
...
His father is out of seclusion and invited him to dinner. He was walking towards their building, looking at the starry sky with a big, light blue-coloured moon.
Soon he reached the building, and he was guided towards the dinner hall.
There were already two people sitting there. He waved his hands towards them and sat down next to them.
They are Su Lang and Su Cheng.
He asked about two sisters. Su Lang said, "They have to attend an alchemy lecture in the morning, so they returned back to the sect."
Su Kang nodded after hearing this.
They talked among themselves, and Su Kang and Su Cheng teased Su Lang about his love.
Su Lang was 30 years old and a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. His cultivation talent was above average, and his looks were above average too.
Most of the cultivators are not bad-looking. As long as their bone structure is normal and their appearance and body improve.
Even if they had average looks, they were still better than average mortals.
Su Lang was looking at both of them with a defeated expression.
He knows that the next family head will probably be his elder brother, so he should help the family by receiving a marriage proposal from any influential family. But he is not ready for it yet.
Soon a commotion followed, and the trio stopped talking. They looked towards
the gate and saw a couple walking towards the table. The man was wearing a red-yellow robe.
His skin is light warm, and he looks someone like in his mind thirties. He is Su Chen, father of Su Kang.
His parents took their seat, and they started serving dinner.
His father is looking in a good mood.
He looked at Su Kang and said, "Since you decided to stay, did you inform the sect about this decision?"
Su Kang said, "Not yet; I will personally visit them tomorrow to inform them about my decision.".
"Good, since you decided on this, everything is fine," his father replied.
It was last night that he tried to stop his son from going to war against demon cultivators. No matter how he looked at it, this decision was taken rashly without much thought behind it.
Demon cultivators are usually stronger than average cultivators. Their fighting power is always higher than their cultivation level. In this war, many demon cultivators are already fighting.
Thinking about his son going there without mastering any superpowers was not something he could swallow easily.
Su Kang saw his father and mother were both in a good mood and thought something.
"Father, I have to tell you something later," Su Kang said.
His father nodded in agreement without much thought.
Then they talked about important projects of family and some other things. Su Kang is not interested in those matters, so he is only listening.
After they finished eating, Su Lang and Su Cheng left quietly.
Su Kang also left after a word with his father.
He told his parents about a potential undiscovered secret realm. This was the same realm where he was supposed to find that fragment.
This secret realm is full of spiritual plants and herbs. In Jiang state, alchemists are most in demand compared to other professionals.
Jiang state did not have any good alchemist. This area lacks any alchemical inheritance. Even pill formation elixirs are extremely hard to find here.
Most of the high-quality pills are imported through Pill Tower. They were controlling numbers of pill formation experts by allocating limited numbers of pill formation elixirs.
That secret realm has many spiritual plants, and some of them are necessary for pill formation elixir.
As long as they can produce a third-level alchemist or hire someone, they can get the Pill Formation Elixir in the future without any problem.
As long as they can move those spiritual plants silently without causing any damage to them, then everything will be fine later.
He returned back to his room.
He took out the fragment and sat down. Tonight he is going to hold a long discussion about his future planning with the spirit.
