Chapter 38: The Obedience Card!
Afterward, the Ghost King led Qian Mo to the secret chamber where the Heavenly Tome was kept. Qian Mo entered alone. The chamber was shrouded in darkness, save for a faint glow illuminating a spot on the wall. Upon the wall, mysterious characters were inscribed.
“These cryptic markings must be the third volume of the Heavenly Tome,” Qian Mo murmured as he gazed at the writing.
Just then, the familiar voice of the system echoed in his mind: “Heavenly Tome detected. Would the host like to absorb it?”
“Absorb,” Qian Mo replied calmly.
A surge of energy rippled through his mind, and a line of words appeared within his consciousness. “Upon the Great Way, the Heavenly Path is mirrored. Amidst the boundless sea of stars, each shines in its own way.”
“Upon the Great Way, the Heavenly Path is mirrored. Amidst the boundless sea of stars, each shines in its own way. Why are there words this time? The first two volumes had none. Oh well, I won’t dwell on it,” Qian Mo muttered, pondering the words in his mind.
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from him. His cultivation, which had been at the ninth level of the Out-of-Body stage, instantly broke through to the first level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Sensing his newfound strength, Qian Mo joked, “Finally, I’ve broken through. So this is the Nascent Soul stage? Incredible!” Gripping his hand, he unleashed a burst of energy that surged through his whole body.
Rumble—
The entire chamber quaked.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the Heavenly Tome quest. Progress: 3 out of 5,” the system’s voice chimed.
“Host, only two more volumes to complete the quest! Please keep up the good work! There will be a surprise after that, and you still have unused mission cards,” the system encouraged.
“Display the system character interface,” Qian Mo said.

“Ding! Congratulations, host, for reaching Myriad Worlds Level Two, Initial. You are rewarded with a lottery draw.”
“Ding! Since the host has reached Level Two, you can no longer gain levels by killing weaker enemies; it will only yield experience points.”
“Ding! Congratulations, host, for unlocking the System Mall. It has everything imaginable, provided you can afford it.”
“Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the Myriad World Coin program.”
One by one, the system’s notifications sounded in Qian Mo’s ears.
“Mall? Myriad World Coins? I know what a mall is, and I suppose Myriad World Coins are the currency for trading,” Qian Mo mused as the system spoke.
“How do I earn Myriad World Coins?” he asked.
“The host can collect anything from any world and exchange it here for Myriad World Coins. Future system missions will also reward coins, so you don’t need to worry about running out,” the system explained.
“Great!” Qian Mo, once troubled, was now delighted by the answer.
“System, open the mall for me to see!” he said.
“As you wish.”
A system interface appeared before Qian Mo, with the words “Myriad Worlds Mall” at the top.
Eastern Emperor Bell – 10 million Myriad World Coins
Demonic Slaughter Sword – 9 million Myriad World Coins
Netherblood Sword – 8 million Myriad World Coins
Heaven-Splitting Chaos Sword – 8 million Myriad World Coins

Phoenix Divine Flame – 50,000 Myriad World Coins
(There are many more items, but the author’s imagination isn’t boundless. More will be added later.)
Qian Mo stared at these treasures, nearly drooling, but when he glanced at the prices—damn, so expensive?! System, are you a black marketeer?
There were four categories in the Myriad Worlds Mall:
Weapons
Food
Skills
Fusion Items
Qian Mo browsed each one, but could only look, not buy—he was broke! No money!
In the end, he bought the Phoenix Divine Flame, spending fifty thousand Myriad World Coins.
Phoenix Divine Flame – Description: Born from the ancient phoenix clan, its flames are of unimaginable heat. Most importantly, the Phoenix Divine Flame possesses the miraculous ability of rebirth from ashes, allowing for rapid healing of injuries.
“Tsk tsk! Now I’ll have real fun in battles. Later, I’ll buy another two for Biyao and Xueqi, so I won’t have to worry about them dying,” Qian Mo said with a sly grin.
“Would the host like to fuse the Phoenix Divine Flame?”
“Fuse.”
At Qian Mo’s command, the system fused the Phoenix Divine Flame into his body, making it wholly his.
Burn—
A flame ignited in Qian Mo’s palm, its vibrant red hue dazzlingly beautiful. In his hand, it was as gentle as a newborn child—but once released, it would be a very different matter.
“How beautiful!” Qian Mo exclaimed, admiring the Phoenix Divine Flame in his palm.
Burn, burn, burn—
The Phoenix Divine Flame seemed to sense Qian Mo’s praise and swayed gently in his hand, as if to say, “Thank you for your compliment!”
Retracting the flame, Qian Mo remembered his lottery chance and said to the system, “System, draw my prize.”
“System drawing…”
“Congratulations, host, you have drawn two Obedience Cards.”
Obedience Card – Description: When used, anything you say to any person, group, or force will be obeyed completely, no matter how much time passes. Anyone connected to them will never betray your words.
“Damn, this is heaven-defying! I was just wondering how to stop the Qingyun Sect and Ghost King Sect from going to war, to ensure peace. I don’t want to see those tragedies from television happen. And now this comes just in time? Ah! You really understand me, System!” Qian Mo cheered.
“With this cheat, the Qingyun Sect and the Ghost King Sect will be allies forever, never to fight again. Any conflict will be resolved together; any battle will be fought together. Anyone who has ever been connected to either sect will never betray them for all eternity,” Qian Mo excitedly declared his wishes.
“System, I love you! Kiss, kiss!” Qian Mo said affectionately to the system.
“This system… is currently in seclusion…”
“…” Qian Mo was left speechless.

Qian Mo opened the system interface once more, gazing at it.
