System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 375: Ch 375: Interactions with the Heavenly Spirit Stone (1)

The Undying Fruit is an extremely rare World Treasure that grows on the Undying Fruit Tree. This tree can only sprout from the ashes left behind after a Phoenix undergoes nirvana in the region of Extreme Cold. The tree produces only two fruits at a time. The Undying Fruit can enhance a person's overall talents, special physique, and bloodline.

It can heal any type of old injury and even repair shattered dantian.

A person can undergo nine nirvanas in total after swallowing the Undying Fruit. This allows them to be reborn and evolve in every aspect a total of nine times. Each nirvana enables a person to break through a minor stage in their cultivation, regardless of their current realm. However, during this process, the individual must endure the excruciating pain of being burned alive nine times.

The point to be taken note of here is the fact that nirvana can only enable a person to step a minor stage forward in their cultivation. For example, an Initial-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage warrior can only become a Perfection-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage warrior, and a Perfection-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage warrior can step into the Extreme Level.

However, after a person goes through the Three Tribulations of Life Destruction, they step into an entirely new realm of cultivation called the Spirit Martial God Stage. Above the Three Tribulations of Life Destruction are the Spirit Martial God Stage, Origin Martial God Stage, Life Creation Stage, and Death Domination Stage.

Above the Death Domination Stage is True Divinity which is also the strongest in the universe.

Most importantly, none of these stages of cultivation has substages. In other words, there is no minor stage to increase after going through a nirvana, there is only a major stage.

If Alex chose to go through a nirvana now, it can be said that he would obtain the extreme benefit an Undying Fruit can give to a cultivator. He can directly become an Origin Martial God from a Spirit Martial God.

The difference between these two stages of cultivation can never be measured with just a concept of a difference between a minor step, or even a major step. A single Origin Martial God can easily kill ten Spirit Martial Gods and suppress even more.

A person can only consume one Undying Fruit in their lifetime. Taking a second or more will have no effect and will only waste this precious treasure. Alex had already swallowed an Undying Fruit after replicating this treasure from Verom Conner. [Ref. Ch: 309 & 310.]

After killing Verom, Alex obtained another Undying Fruit. This Fruit was still in his possession. [Ref. Ch: 347.]

"I should start preparing to go through the nirvana!"

Alex muttered and then flew out of the Blood Pool's range, landing at the edge. Then he sat down cross-legged and was about to initiate the nirvana process when he suddenly recalled Fritz's words. Fritz told him to go to the Slaughter City in the Blood Fiend Land because he did not want Alex to destroy the Clear Sky World in his rage of not being able to find his parents.

Fritz wanted to temper Alex's mind and heart first. After all, Clear Sky World is similar to the Essence Sky World. Although both worlds used to be one entity and were extremely strong, after the shattering of the world, the strongest warrior both worlds could nurture was only Divine Emperors.

Alex was already a Spirit Martial God. Just his presence alone is something that the world could not endure, and a catastrophe might befall.

Although he was in a secret realm currently, this secret realm was located in the Clear Sky World. In other words, this secret realm also could not withstand the presence of a Spirit Martial God. If he truly goes through the nirvana here, this secret realm might be destroyed, and every person inside will be killed.

Shaking his head, Alex sighed and stopped. He no longer tried to go through the nirvana.

"I'll immediately go through the nirvana after leaving both the Clear Sky World and the Essence Sky World."

Alex muttered inwardly. He had gone through three nirvana already and was left with six nirvanas. But these six nirvana were enough to bring his cultivation directly above the True Divinity.

Of course, it is only theory. Whether this will happen or not is something that Alex will know only after going through all the six remaining nirvana.

Since there was nothing more to do, Alex started to wait for both his treasures to return.

While there was still time in hand, Alex suddenly had an idea and almost broke his own head.

How could he be so forgetful?

How can he be so stupid?

How could he not think of this idea before?

Shaking his head, Alex immediately took out the Heavenly Spirit Stone.

The Heavenly Spirit Stone is a treasure of the same level as the Stone of Tomorrow. It was one of the four supreme treasures that were born along with the birth of the universe. Every one of these four stones had a different color and different abilities.

The Stone of Tomorrow can affect time. On the other hand, the Heavenly Spirit Stone has the power to affect the Laws of the Universe. It could manipulate the Universe's Laws and go beyond them.

As for what it truly means, Alex has no idea.

Be it the Stone of Tomorrow or the Heavenly Spirit Stone, Alex might have these two in his hands, but they had yet to acknowledge him as their master.

Anyway, other than affecting the laws of the universe, the Heavenly Spirit Stone can also answer any question.

Yes, any question!

No matter the question, then be it a question related to the birth of the universe or something that happened on a small planet at the far end of the universe, as long as it has already happened in the past, the Heavenly Spirit Stone can answer them all.

Moreover, this treasure can also give out one treasure, then be it a skill, a cultivation technique, a weapon, a pill, a bloodline, or even a special physique, etc., it can give any one of them to its master once a year.

Alex never truly asked for any treasure from the Heavenly Spirit Stone. But he did ask about the Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl, the Valley of Death, and even his first master, Atticus.

The answer he received was shocking but true.

Since this all-knowing stone was already in his hand, why not directly ask it about the whereabouts of his parents instead of looking for them everywhere in the entire Clear Sky World?

This is madness!

Shaking his head, Alex sucked in a deep breath of air. Having an all-knowing stone that could give answers to all the questions as long as that has already happened in the past is indeed madness. He doesn't need to wander around everywhere just to look for a single answer that he might never even find.

But this stone, the Heavenly Spirit Stone, can easily satisfy his needs.

"Tell me, where are my parents!"

The Heavenly Spirit Stone stayed silent; it did not react. Alex also did not hurry the stone to answer.

After some time, the Heavenly Spirit Stone finally reacted.

[Which parents?]

[Select an option!]

[A? Unknown parents from beyond the universe.]

[B? Parents from Clear Sky World.]

[C? Parents from Essence Sky World.]

[D? Oh, you don't have more parents. Just choose from the above options!]

Damn!

Alex's mouth twitched when he heard the Heavenly Spirit Stone giving him options to choose. His expression turned dark when he heard the last option. This stone was actually teasing him.

Previously, when he asked the stone questions, it honestly gave him answers. This time was different.

Why?

Could it be because I have three parents?

Even Alex finds it somewhat interesting to have three parents.

Shaking his head, Alex could not help but reprimand himself.

What is he thinking?

In any case, it was surprising that the Heavenly Spirit Stone even knew about his parents from beyond the universe.

How can that be possible?

It was clearly written in the introduction panel of the Heavenly Spirit Stone that it was born along with the birth of this universe. In other words, it never had any connection with other universes.

He can still understand that the Heavenly Spirit Stone knows all the answers to questions that are related to this universe. As for outside the universe, he could not understand how this stone knew about it.

Anyway, since the opportunity was in front of him, he tried to take the advantage.

"I choose option A."

[To know about your parents from beyond the universe, you must first recover the other two Supreme Treasures. I can't connect to the laws and spirits of other universes in my current condition!]

"What the f... Hell!"

Alex almost cursed out loudly.

"If you can't answer, why did you even give out the option in the first place?"

[To urge you to find the other two stones before leaving this universe within three years.]

Alex was shocked. This stone actually knew he was planning to leave this universe in three years!

How can it know?
