Chapter 629: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 629: Three Consecutive Upgrades and the Appearance of the Artifact Spirit (3)
The little black dot on the Merit Orb was incensed. “You dummy Yanyan, stinky Yanyan, who told you that I’m the eyes of the Merit Orb? I’d love to break the Merit Orb into pieces to vent my frustration. How could I be the eyes of that dead thing?”
Mo Yan was at a loss for words, feeling a bit dumbfounded by the insults. She decided not to delve into the complicated relationship between the little black dot and the Merit Orb and simply placed her bleeding finger on the Merit Orb.
This time, the Merit Orb didn’t drain her blood as aggressively as when it was first activated, though it did absorb a fair amount. Fortunately, Mo Yan’s physical condition was quite good, so the loss of blood didn’t affect her much.
After the orb stopped absorbing blood, Mo Yan didn’t pull her finger away immediately. Suddenly, a snowball the size of a fist bounced out of the orb, landing directly on her shoulder.
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment before she lifted her hand to catch the snowball, which was bouncing around on her shoulder. The snowball felt extremely soft, with no hair or fur, and aside from the pair of eyes on top that looked like snail antennae, it resembled a real snowball. If hidden in snow, it would be almost impossible to spot.
In fact, the snowball wasn’t as round as its eyes suggested; its body was more of an elongated oval. If it had arms and legs, it would look like a small snow doll.
Mo Yan had never seen such a peculiar creature. It wasn’t an animal since she couldn’t feel any warmth or pulse from it. It wasn’t a non-living thing either, as its eyes were very lively, and though it didn’t have a mouth, it could communicate with her as effortlessly as a human.
Seemingly aware of Mo Yan’s confusion, the snowball spoke seriously, “This isn’t my true form. Only when the space reaches Level 10 will I be able to manifest my true form.”
“True form?” Mo Yan seized on the unfamiliar term, “What is your true form? And how did you suddenly appear in the space?”
The little black dot on the snowball’s head twirled around and said cunningly, “You’ll find out what my true form is when the space reaches Level 10! As for how I appeared in the space... I’m the artifact spirit of the space, so I naturally came into existence with it! The reason I’m appearing now is due to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth…”
The snowball’s unique tone, filled with nostalgia, recounted the origins of the space. It turned out that the ancient jade space was meticulously crafted by a powerful cultivator named Mo from a cultivation world for his only daughter, who lacked spiritual roots. He hoped the space, rich in spiritual energy and capable of growing all kinds of things, would ensure her health and longevity.
At the same time, not wishing for his daughter or her descendants to misuse the space and accumulate karma that might affect his cultivation, he embedded a Merit Orb and set up a formation. Only by accumulating enough merit could the space be upgraded.
The cultivator’s daughter was kind-hearted and, remembering her father’s teachings, accumulated much merit using the space. She was loved and supported by the mortal world and lived to a ripe old age. After her passing, the ancient jade space was passed down to her descendants, continuing from generation to generation.
The snowball was an artifact spirit accidentally created during the crafting of the space. However, at that time, the spirit was like an ignorant infant, with no use to the space or the cultivator’s daughter, and lacked intelligence.
As the space gradually upgraded, the artifact spirit began to change, and by the time the space reached Level 6, it could control everything within the space, commanding the elements and everything in it.
