Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

After his discussion with Cora, Arthur decided to see how the Serene Palace Painting looks from the inside.

With just a thought, he disappeared and entered the world within the painting.

He found himself at the peak of one of the three mountains within where the palace was.

A cool breeze blew softly on him and the air was very fresh. Arthur released his spirit power and he was a bit shocked by the dense amount of essence energy that he sensed.

Cora who was beside him spoke up at this time, "The dense amount of essence energy here is more than enough for you to reach the peak level of this lower realm."

Arthur agreed with what she said, and he now thought of how this could be a big help to him.

At the same time, the Serene Palace Painting could be more than just a cultivation ground.

'I could use this to hide...'

Arthur had wondered where the painting goes when he enters inside and Cora told him that it seals off itself in a different space but will remain at the same location.

This means that if he enters the Serene Palace Painting mid-battle, although the painting will still be at the same location he was before he entered it, it will lock itself in a separate space and no one can sense or feel it.

That is unless the opponent was so powerful that he could break through the restraints of space and even forcefully enter the Serene Palace Painting.

Cora informed him that the enemy she faced that led to her and her sister's predicament was one such powerful cultivator, so the painting was not too powerful.

And besides, the Serene Palace Painting is not that high compared to the treasures that are in the higher realms.

But for a lower realm like the Mortal Emperor Realm, it was a supreme treasure of legends.

Arthur entered the palace and was happy at how big it was.

'Maybe in the future when I have trusted subordinates I can bring them here.'

Arthur also thought of how useful the Serene Palace Painting could be in a battle between two forces.

'I could just show up on enemy territory alone and with them underestimating me and boom, thousands of warriors suddenly show and kill the unsuspecting enemies...'

Arthur decided to cultivate here in the future and decided to do something first before he dives into cultivation again.

'I need to increase the rank of my Martial Spirit!'

Arthur's Devouring Martial Spirit was currently ranked at Tier-6 Earth Grade Martial Spirit.

If he wanted to increase its rank he would need a lot of high-rank spirit crystals.

He had run out of the spirit crystals that Suo Hao gave to him and the Emperor can not afford such an expense.

So he turned to Cora and asked how many spirit crystals she had.

"I am sorry but most of the spirit crystals in my possession were used up when dealing with my injuries and my weakened cultivation."

Arthur was a bit disappointed at that but still asked for what was left.

Cora complied and gave him a storage ring that contained all the spirit crystals that she had left.

She did not feel reluctant as she could not fix her injuries or cultivation with the spirit crystals that she had left.

Arthur took the ring and checked its content and was pleasantly surprised.

'She said she had used up most of her spirit crystals, so these are just leftovers?' Arthur wondered what her full stash would be like.

'This is more than enough for my Martial Spirit to reach the Heaven Rank!'

The ring contained millions of peak-grade Earth-rank spirit crystals

The Hartfield Empire which was the richest in the southern continent did not have a single peak-grade Earth-rank spirit crystal.

And this wasn't even the end.

'These are Heaven Rank spirit crystals?'

Arthur was able to maintain his composure in front of the wealth before him and he knew that at the moment, he was possibly the richest person in the Mortal Emperor Realm.

He wasted no time and took the biggest room in the mansion and locked himself up.

With excitement in his heart, he brought out a million peak-grade Earth Rank spirit crystals and released his Martial Spirit.

*vroom!*

Immediately the black-hole-like martial spirit appeared it trembled and wasted no time before it began to voraciously devour the spirit crystals that filled the room.

Cora was curious about what Arthur doing as she saw the excitement in his eyes when he locked himself up in 'that' room.

'That's my room!' Cora was a bit dissatisfied but she couldn't say anything.

Arthur was the boss now, so she didn't have any right over this place like before.

'But a few of my things are still there, he wouldn't do anything perverted right?' Cora let her imagination turn a bit wild, causing her face to redden due to the scenes that appeared in her head.

'No, he wouldn't...' She shook her head and entered the room closest to Arthur.

Meanwhile, Arthur was increasing the rank of his martial spirit with reckless abandon.

Every time his martial spirit ranked up it felt like music to his ears and at the same time, he could feel a change happen in his body as its rank increased.

He wondered what was happening but focused on increasing the rank of his martial spirit for now.

Time passed and soon out of the tens of millions of Peak Earth-Rank spirit crystals, only a few million were left which Arthur decided to keep aside to use later as spirit crystals were the highest and preferred valued currency in this world.

At the same time, Arthur felt a tremble in his soul along with a feeling of elevation.

'It's evolving into the heaven rank!'

Slowly all ten blue rings of light that surrounded the devouring martial spirit came together and fused.

The aftermath of their fusion was a single captivating violet-colored ring of light that signified the first tier of the heaven rank.

"Tier-1 Heaven Ranked Martial Spirit!"
