Chapter 36: Fusion! Defiant Soul-Guarding Lotus Lamp!

“Wu Mei is indeed an undead—aberrant zombie.”

“But under my help, a trace of vitality has emerged in her body.”

“Just as Ba Xia said, I believe that being able to meet all of you is fate.”

“You come from different worlds, all forsaken by the myriad heavens. To have been picked up by me and gathered here by my side—this, too, is fate.”

“Therefore, we ought to cherish one another and live in harmony.”

“Moreover, this world is filled with too much mystery and the unknown.”

“What kind of ties it has with the myriad heavens… and what may unfold in the future… none of us know.”

“That is why we must unite, support each other, and share our cultivation insights. Only then can we better steer our course going forward…”

Chen Fan finally spoke, giving a heartfelt and earnest speech.

“Young Master, I understand.”

“From now on, we’ll get along well…”

Medusa replied softly.

“The myriad heavens—so far, yet so near.”

“One day, I will find the way home for you.”

“Perhaps… your people are still waiting for you.”

Chen Fan looked at Medusa and said gently.

“Thank you, Young Master…”

That one sincere line moved Medusa deeply.

“It’s what I should do.”

“You two, take Wu Mei around to get familiar with our home.”

“She’s just arrived.”

Chen Fan smiled, then walked into the training chamber.

Afterward, he took out the seven Soul-Summoning Lamps he had collected.

“System, fuse the Soul-Summoning Lamps.”

Chen Fan was extremely curious—what kind of treasure would emerge from the fusion of the seven lamps?

“Ding, the lowest-tier fusion requires 5,000 points. The highest-tier fusion requires 30,000 points. Which type does the host want to proceed with?”

The system inquired.

“So expensive…”

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Aside from minor earnings and expenses, not counting the rest:

After fusing the Dragon Pearl, he had only 5,000 points left.

Tonight, he earned 40,000 more points.

By recycling Wu Mei’s burial goods and the bronze coffin, he made another 5,000 points.

However, he had spent 3,000 points repairing the mermaid and 15,000 points on Wu Mei’s restoration.

Now, he only had a little over 31,000 points remaining.

“Ding, since this involves soul-related fusion, the cost is indeed higher.”

“The Soul-Summoning Lamps are of a very low grade. Otherwise, the ceiling wouldn’t stop at 30,000 points.”

The system explained.

“Do it.”

“Use the high-tier, 30,000-point fusion.”

Gritting his teeth, Chen Fan made his decision.

He wanted to see what treasure would be born from this.

“Ding, 30,000 points deducted. Fusion begins.”

A white light descended, enveloping the seven lamps on the ground.

Within the white glow, the seven lamps floated on their own, slowly overlapping.

Soon, the seven lamps melted into liquid form, blending together slowly.

During the fusion process, wisps of green smoke rose up—these were the impurities being purged.

The smoke grew denser, thicker, while the liquid shrank continuously.

Until the smoke finally stopped rising, and the liquid became crystal clear, gradually condensing into a single lamp.

However, the shape had completely changed, now taking on the form of a lotus pedestal.

Its color had turned to pitch black.

A black lotus base, interwoven with seven lotus petals, encased the lamp core at its center, radiating an air of profound mystery.

“Ding, congratulations to the host—successfully fused the Seven-Grade Soul-Guarding Lotus Lamp!”

The system prompt sounded.

“Soul-Guarding Lotus Lamp? Seven-Grade?”

“What does it do?”

Seeing the treasure formed, Chen Fan instantly felt that those 30,000 points were absolutely worth it.

“Ding, the Soul-Guarding Lotus Lamp is a powerful magical artifact.”

“Once the host bonds with it, the lamp will autonomously protect the host’s soul.”

“Especially when the lamp is lit—wherever the light shines, it becomes the host’s soul domain.”

“It can defend against spiritual and soul-based attacks.”

“And within the domain of the lamp’s light, the host can even separate their soul from their body to strike the opponent’s soul…”

The system explained the Soul-Guarding Lotus Lamp’s functions.

“Just as I thought—it’s a soul-type artifact!”

“This is insanely powerful for me.”

“Totally defiant—it’s way too worth the 30,000 points!”

Chen Fan murmured with delight.

If this Soul-Guarding Lotus Lamp were to be auctioned off, it would shock the entire world and provoke a mad scramble from all major powers.

Soul-type magical artifacts were already exceedingly rare.

Let alone one of such terrifying might.

But Chen Fan had no intention of selling it.

He pricked his finger, squeezing out a drop of blood and dripping it onto the lamp’s wick.

“Buzz…”

After absorbing Chen Fan’s blood, the lamp turned into a ray of light and shot directly into his brow, rooting itself within his Sea of Consciousness.

“Snap!”

With a single thought, the wick ignited, releasing an invisible glow that spread outward from Chen Fan’s body.

This glow couldn’t be seen by others, at least not by the naked eye.

However, Chen Fan could distinctly feel that within this domain, spanning a full fifty meters around him

Everything could be perceived and grasped with clarity.

A mysterious and wonderful feeling surged within him.

He hadn’t even cultivated divine sense yet but within this domain, he could already perceive everything precisely.

“What a powerful artifact!”

Chen Fan’s joy surged from deep within.
