Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 152 Stone Spear


After exchanging identities, Lin Qianxuan began to learn more information through Ye Mao.

Ye Mao had taken care of him in the past, and now that he had some ability, he thought he might be able to help him a little within a limited scope.

"Did you transmigrate through a stone spear?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"I found it underneath the Celestial Bridge over there. The night I brought it home, I woke up in the Otherworld," Ye Mao said.

"It must be an artifact with a strong connection to the Otherworld. Would you mind letting me take a look?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"Of course, no problem. I can go get it now, but what is an artifact?" Ye Mao nodded and asked Lin Qianxuan.

"I'll search it; take a look yourself,"

Lin Qianxuan took out his phone, found articles explaining artifacts, and handed them directly to Ye Mao to read.

Ye Mao had entered the Extraordinary World before him and transmigrated earlier.

However, Ye Mao's unique situation in transmigration caused him to remain in isolation.

He didn't even know that he wasn't the only Transmigrator, nor did he know about the existence of the Otherworld Bureau.

Now, he could be described as a complete novice.

After reading, Ye Mao said, "So, things from the Otherworld are called artifacts?"

"It just means that Otherworld items contain the rules of that world. Using them often connects you and results in transmigration," Lin Qianxuan said, "But you transmigrate just by touching it, which indicates that the item is extraordinary."

"Wait here, I'll get it for you to see," Ye Mao said.

He got up immediately, went back to his room, and retrieved the stone spear he had hidden.

He wasn't sure about Lin Qianxuan's situation, but Lin Qianxuan had been his neighbor for a long time, and his character was well-known. Besides, he was now an official figure, so Ye Mao planned to use Lin Qianxuan to understand some things before he considered formally contacting and collaborating with the authorities.

Soon, Ye Mao brought the stone spear to Lin Qianxuan's room.

It was a stone-crafted long spear about 1.5 meters long, entirely made of stone, but the shaft was polished smoothly.

"Give me advice on whether to hand it over," Ye Mao said.

Lin Qianxuan didn't take it directly but instead used water manipulation to take it from Ye Mao's hand.

This move caused Ye Mao's expression to change slightly, but he held back his curiosity and didn't speak.

Lin Qianxuan examined the stone spear with Spiritual Power and found that when his Spiritual Power approached it, it would be repelled.

Soon after, Lin Qianxuan's eyes flashed with red light, employing the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to observe.

The trace of life was empty, which proved one thing: the karmic weight of this stone spear surpassed his own.

"Hiss~!"

Lin Qianxuan took a deep breath, feeling a bit incredulous.

Even in the game, by closely observing the Chaotic Heaven God, he could obtain some information and eventually saw the potential for the Chaotic Heaven God's death.

Yet now, this stone spear had no information?

This item was even more advanced than he had imagined.

"What's up, is there a problem?" Ye Mao asked curiously.

"This item is not simple," Lin Qianxuan said, and then repeated, "Extremely not simple!"

He mentally asked about the simulation.

The response was that it could simulate but required more than 8 billion True Essence.

Lin Qianxuan was stunned.

What? The simulation of the Emperor Sword previously required less than a hundred billion Spiritual Essence, right?

This thing demands eighty billion True Essence for simulation?

Even the Emperor Sword compares poorly?

The previous version of the Divine Armor was quickly devalued suddenly? The data updates are too outrageous!

Lin Qianxuan complained internally, expressing doubt to the simulation.

The simulation stated that without the absorption of the Chaotic Heaven God's Divine Soul, even with sufficient True Essence energy, a complete simulation of the stone spear was impossible.

Lin Qianxuan focused his mind and let the simulation proceed.

Massive amounts of Divine Energy were extracted, and the accumulated True Essence quantity rapidly decreased.

Lin Qianxuan stared at the stone spear for a full ten minutes.

Finally, the simulation completed.

Current Illusionary Artifact: Holy Spear.

Function: [Enemy Tracking: After casting the Holy Spear, it will lock onto the enemy's location and proceed until it hits.]

The simulation feedback resembled the Divine Machine's Falling Goose Bow's [Tracking] function, but the consumption of eighty billion True Essence was not fake, so Lin Qianxuan thought it couldn't be that simple.

He hesitated, then directly reached out to grasp the Holy Spear.

It felt cold to the touch but seemed indistinguishable from a regular stone spear.

It had average weight.

Lin Qianxuan tried to inject energy.

Spiritual Power and Divine Energy were absorbed without a trace, with no reaction.

However, he felt that it wasn't truly unresponsive, but the quantity was too little.

Lin Qianxuan thought it would take him about ten minutes of Divine Energy to activate it.

The stone spear was of high grade.

Lin Qianxuan handed the stone spear to Ye Mao, saying, "Keep this well; it's extraordinarily valuable; you should be sure not to lose it."

"How valuable?" Ye Mao asked.

Lin Qianxuan considered, purely by grade, it's stronger than the Emperor Sword by far.

Its value should be...

"Priceless," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Then, wouldn't it be better to hand it over?" Ye Mao asked.

The item's value was very high, causing him concern about guarding it.

Lin Qianxuan thought it was a good choice; even if it was a top-tier Divine Artifact, Ye Mao couldn't use it at this stage, so exchanging it for resources to enhance his current strength and survival ability was more appropriate.

"Ye, if you're really considering turning it in, I'll take you to the Otherworld Bureau headquarters tomorrow and assist you with the relevant matters," Lin Qianxuan proposed.

Lin Qianxuan felt the Longjiang City branch was not capable of handling this item; the Otherworld Bureau headquarters was essential.

"Then let's do it; I'll follow your advice," Ye Mao nodded.

The two spoke for over an hour afterward, with Ye Mao learning about the current situation from Lin Qianxuan, and Lin Qianxuan seeking information about his Otherworld experience.

After understanding the basic information, Ye Mao comfortably returned to his dwelling with his stone spear.

On Lin Qianxuan's side, he summoned the simulated stone spear, pondering why this item required so much True Essence for simulation.

The simulation produced a feedback message.

Essentially stating that the materials were more advanced and it also simulated its True Intent.

Like a dragon scale on a dragon's head, this is clearly an object with true intent.

It's worth noting that even the Qiankun Cauldron, Emperor Sword, and Imperial Seal do not possess true intent.

The stone spear that Ye Mao picked up, however, does.

Lin Qianxuan couldn't hold back and wanted to find a place to test its power.

After much hesitation, he decided to try it in the sea.

Shrouded by clouds and mist, he took off directly from the balcony.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Qianxuan had already reached the sea over three thousand miles away.

With a reach of his hand, the crimson stone spear formed from myriad phenomena was grasped in Lin Qianxuan's palm.

At this moment, the stone spear was charged with sufficient energy, ready for activation at any moment by Lin Qianxuan.

However, the target for the attack needed to be found by himself.

Lin Qianxuan extended his spiritual sense, locking onto a grouper fourteen kilometers away.

Then he lightly tossed the stone spear in his hand.

Whoosh~!

Puff~!

Almost the instant it was thrown, the stone spear pierced the grouper.

The speed was beyond Lin Qianxuan's imagination.

And the most outrageous part was that it created no disturbance at all along the way.

The waves did not part.

It seemed like spatial teleportation.

But in reality, it had broken through the air and seawater to directly pierce that grouper.

"Over a hundred times the speed of sound, perhaps?"

Lin Qianxuan's eyes flickered with amazement.

He felt that he couldn't possibly evade such a strike.

The gap was just too vast.

Lin Qianxuan waved his hand, and the stone spear returned to his hand in an instant, still carrying the pierced grouper.

How this fish wasn't thrown off at such a high speed, who knows? Maybe he could ride the spear for flight?

This powerful; what if he reinforced it with True Essence?

Thinking of this idea, Lin Qianxuan received feedback from the myriad phenomena.

This was already the simulation's limit, further reinforcement with True Essence would scarcely amplify it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianxuan abandoned the thought.

He planned to test the limits of this stone spear.

He casually placed a floating piece of wood on the sea and wrapped it with Divine Iron, then flew over a hundred kilometers away.

Then he raised his hand and tossed the stone spear.

The stone spear soon left his sensory range, but the connection with the myriad phenomena remained.

Lin Qianxuan waved, and the stone spear returned with the floating wood. The Divine Iron was easily pierced without any resistance, not leaving even a burr.

Beyond-visual-range attack, and the attack intensity was extremely exaggerated.

Lin Qianxuan then wanted to try riding the spear for flight.

After locking onto a target, almost instantly, he was carried by the stone spear to the destination hundreds of miles away, not even realizing what happened, nor feeling any air resistance, utterly defying physics.

This weapon simulated by the myriad phenomena was unlike any Lin Qianxuan had simulated before.

Lin Qianxuan thought that, if its grade were to be compared, it should be on par with the myriad phenomena itself.

Unable to fully grasp it, he intended to consult an encyclopedia for guidance.

"Earth's strongest Jiang Mengli!"

Though not his first time calling out, it still felt embarrassing!

...

Human Dao space.

Lin Qianxuan displayed the stone spear transformed from the myriad phenomena.

"The Dao principle of this Dao Artifact is very special, capable of such precise simulation and replication, which is quite rare," said Human Dao.

She was clearly referring to the myriad phenomena itself.

"Dao Artifact? Does it refer to a weapon imbued with true intent...and rules?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"Yes." Human Dao nodded.

With this explanation, Lin Qianxuan understood.

If Jiang Mengli and Swallowing Filth were cultivators in the Dao Realm, then the myriad phenomena and its replicated stone spear were weapons in the Dao Realm.

The Dragon Scale counts as an incomplete Dao Realm weapon.

Previously, the myriad phenomena hadn't encountered a complete Dao Realm weapon, so it couldn't simulate the full Dao principle.

Hence, its potential had never been fully realized, until it encountered this stone spear, which finally allowed it to fully unleash its power.

If he had seen this stone spear sooner, he might not have needed to scheme against Swallowing Filth; a spear thrown from hundreds of miles away would have struck him down.

Of course, it's also possible Swallowing Filth would have been scared enough to fight back for real, who knows.

After learning about the stone spear's specifics from Human Dao, Lin Qianxuan left the Human Dao space.

"I can't believe Brother Ye got so lucky finding a Divine Artifact right at the start; his fortune is ridiculously high," Lin Qianxuan remarked.

He, too, bore the Dragon Bloodline, yet never found a Dao Artifact. Meanwhile, Ye Mao found that stone spear just by walking under the Celestial Bridge—what luck!

However, encountering Ye Mao and being able to simulate and replicate it also counted as good fortune for Lin Qianxuan.

While pondering this, Lin Qianxuan suddenly felt a pulling force upon him.

He immediately associated it with touching that stone spear.

However, the pull wasn't strong, and Lin Qianxuan could resist it for quite some time.

Moreover, he wasn't worried about being forced to transmigrate.

Because passive transmigration could be neutralized.

As long as he visited another world, the pull from the other connected worlds would dissipate.

In other words, just by visiting the Qingling World, the pull from the stone spear's world would be rendered ineffective.

It's tantamount to escaping the pull's range.

Unless the pull from that world could cover as many worlds as Earth and was immensely powerful, Lin Qianxuan wouldn't need to worry about transmigrating uncontrollably.

This was why he dared to directly handle the stone spear.

After all, he already had a safe transmigration world as his base, making contact with other elements less daunting.
