"What name did you give it?" Anthony asked, looking up from the fascinating weapon.

"Its name is the soul sucking bell. It's an immortal ranked weapon. However, to prevent it from being stolen or snatched by greedy masters, I camouflaged it to look like a low rank spiritual tool without real value."

"Soul sucking bell? What a terrifying name for such a beautiful bracelet." Anthony whispered, pretending not to hear the rest of Lan Xuanyu's words.

Lan Xuanyu coughed to hide his real thoughts. All his weapons were like the soul sucking bell, looking elegant and refined, but very dangerous and destructive. In the eyes of mortals, it could even pass for toys and fascinators. However, their ability to cause mass murder and destruction was truly terrifying.

"So, does it suck people's souls like its name suggests? Is it like a necromancer's tools that absorbs souls from living people and turns them into corpses or fools?"

"Something like that. But the soul sucking bell is not that bad, it only harms those who want to hurt you. As for its dangerous abilities, you won't be able to unlock it now because controlling it to not hurt the innocent would prove impossible for you. As you get stronger, you will begin to unlock the more powerful and devastating effects from it. Control is very important to avoid hurting your ally. For now, you can ring it to disorient people during a battle and finish them off. However, don't use it on a weak opponent. Otherwise, they might die or turn to fools at the spot, exposing you. Use it for opponents many levels above you. Also, while using it, take care to only affect the one before you. If many people are affected at the same time, it won't be long before you're discovered. Don't use it often for battles because it feeds on spiritual power and mental coordination. While cultivating, don't only cultivate your energy, cultivate your mind and spiritual sea too."

"What abilities can I use for now? You mentioned that I'm not able to unlock all of them with my current cultivation level."

"Em! You can use the disorienting sound attack in battles to confuse your opponents and give you an edge. However if the person is too powerful they might backfire the sound attack, choose your battles carefully. You can also unlock some cultivation techniques and skills. For example, the portal that leads to the cultivation world has not been in use for a long time, and it's extremely chaotic. If you learn the space laws in it, you may find it easier to tell your coordinates apart. However, if you don't have a natural affinity with space, it will be useless. Space and time are the hardest laws and principles to master. Not everyone can learn, even if they study for a thousand years. Time is even more confusing. Time reversal is a skill and talent that many people seek but are unable to awaken. Space masters are very respected in many organizations that do inter galaxy trades and travels. Also, there are portal repair formations and detection of coordinates there. If you can unlock it, it will be very nice. However, on no account should you tell anyone the real name of the weapon. Otherwise, you will find yourself in more trouble than you bargained for. Once you leave here, helping you will be impossible."

Anthony laughed as he listened to Lan Xuanyu's last sentence.

"You talk as if this is a mighty world shattering weapon that could cause storms if revealed." He whispered, examining

"It is an earth shattering weapon. I don't blame you for not knowing the value. After all, I dropped it on your lap, letting you enjoy what you didn't labor for. Assuming you walked through a blood bath before you got it, you would have understood the value." Lan Xuanyu said, feeling upset. It was hard for him to part with such a weapon which was bonded to him, letting it bond to a new master. But Anthony didn't seem to appreciate his sacrifice, talking down on one of his companion weapon.

"Having a powerful big brother like you should have benefits of course. Someone inside the ocean should not wash hands with spittle. If big brother can give me something, does it make sense to go the long way before I get it? Alright, don't be angry, lest you develop wrinkles." Anthony muttered light heartedly. His entitlement was really loud and flamboyant. Someone listening might vomit blood from anger.

"The soul sucking bell is one of my seven principal weapons that has accompanied me in numerous blood baths, killing countless people. Once you mention the soul sucking bell, people will immediately know the owner, and realize its quality. That's why you need to find a new name."

Anthony was immediately surprised. He was not stupid enough that he didn't know what principal weapons were. Even if someone has an entire armory of weapons that are of a higher quality, the principal weapons were ones that no master would be willing to part with. This is because they're bound to the master's soul, and absorb some of the master's abilities and innate talent, evolving with them. The pain of severing a soul bound principal weapon was blinding. The bell will have some of Lan Xuanyu's battle skills after accompanying him for a thousand years.

Anthony immediately became awkward with him. Not knowing how to ask him why he went to such an extent for him. In actuality, the soul sucking bell was a twin weapon. The higher ranked one with the stronger abilities was silver colored with a streak of purple. While the second one which Anthony received was purple in color. But due to Lan Xuanyu's effort to camouflage it, he made it have streaks of black and brown depending on the angle one views it. Only Anthony could see its real form properly. Lan Xuanyu used a special method to seal his spiritual power which made the bell functional. In this way, it won't stop Anthony from binding to it. And if need be, he might release a little spiritual energy whenever Anthony is at death's door to help him out. The main bell that was bound to him was the silver-purple bell, while the purple one was bound to the silver-purple bell using a strand of his energy. All he had to do was sever the strand of his energy, and seal it in the bell. Even then, he got injured while severing it because it was connected to his soul. But he was confident of healing in no time.

"In that case, I will call it the mind soothing bell. And say it's to calm my mind whenever people ask me about it. I will never tell anyone else about it, I promise it won't get stolen." Anthony chipped in, distracting Lan Xuanyu's thoughts.

"In that case, you should go ahead and start cultivating. You have wasted a lot of time in the perilous lands. You should solidify your cultivation, so that if you find another opportunity to break through, you won't let it pass by. Also, you need to see if you have affinity with space laws, and also study the formation for space portals. Hurry up and leave on your own after you're done. Otherwise, I will be forced to kick your lazy ass away."

A blinding light suddenly came from the mirror formation, startling Hua Cheng and Lan Xuanyu, who were sitting cross legged opposite each other, while holding the other's palm, dual cultivating to heal the injuries Lan Xuanyu suffered when he tried to sever the soul sucking bell, which he gave Anthony, from his soul.

They resisted their curiosity in tacit agreement, till they completed the revolution and mended the crack in Lan Xuanyu's soul. Hua Cheng sighed in relief and opened his eyes, caressing Lan Xuanyu's palm.

"A'Xuan, why are you so foolish? You could have selected an immortal ranked weapon from our armory instead of putting your life at risk."

The blinding light from the mirror formation increased in intensity, making their gaze shift towards it.

Lan Xuanyu frees himself from Hua Cheng's grasp, and moves swiftly to the mirror formation. He gasped and his heart beat accelerated in excitement.

"He did it. A'Tian, you didn't let down my sacrifices. Everything I do for you is always worth it." He whispered, raising his hand to touch the mirror.

Millions of golden laws were floating around Anthony and more kept coming. That's right, they were space characters. Millions of characters and space configuration laws, in addition to numerous space formation principles, creation principles, and spatial law deciphering principles, were all floating around him. He had formed his first law—a god path. He was still in the martial emperor realm, yet he had awakened the most difficult god path, spatial abilities. He had become a master of space. The space laws formed from his understanding of heaven and earth when he reached enlightenment began to merge to his body at an alarming rate. Yet, more kept forming. After a while, streaks of time characters began to also appear among the space laws, fusing into his body. However, he remained unmoved. He had reached that state of mind where his concentration and enlightenment couldn't be shaken.

"He also awakened the formation of time, but the abundant space laws suppressed them. Maybe at the formation of his next god path, he might awaken time laws. A'Tian, you do not let your big brother down." Lan Xuanyu whispered in joy, nearly at the point of tears.

Hua Cheng who also arrived looked on in confusion and disbelief.

"This is not possible, right? It has not even been up to a day he began to cultivate space arts. It's just a few hours. How could he decipher something as complex as space within hours? This isn't possible for humans. There must be a mistake somewhere."
