Profane Prince of Domination - Chapter 508: Destiny Gathering Veins

Rati's announcement rang like a thunderclap in the ears of the various factions and rogue cultivators throughout Heavens. According to unspoken agreements, the Cardinal and Divine Sects usually restrained their sect recruitment to their personal domains. Having one invite all throughout Heavens was a wholly unheard of. Even Surya didn't dare. At the same time, the news of that Rudra's new status spread like wildfire, making many reconsider their options.

"That Rudra is the Celestial World's number one rising star. With Rati's unconditional support, with the ownership of 280 thousand Sages and 8000 deities bound by Soul-Rewiring Seals, in the future, he is doomed to become a new hegemon. Who knows, perhaps by the time Daksha returns from seclusion, the Sea Dream Temple will have a new owner."

"By the time? I'm afraid the change is already in effect. With his current influence and Rati's support, he's Temple Lord in all but name. Those Mara elders can only swallow their spite."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. In this matter, many are forgetting that the Primal Sun Sect is being shamed at every turn. Be it in the auction or Kama's glaring humiliation, Surya will not let this slide. A clash is inevitable. Don't forget that in the current Celestial World, he remains the only unharmed Primogen."

"So what? Primogen battle and sect battles are two different concepts. If the Moon Refining Palace didn't have to face the pressure of eleven Primogens and the Warden's silent bias they could never fall that easily.

This is an opportunity to snatch! Join them while they're weak and on the day of their rise, you shall ripe massive benefits!"

Reasonings, thoughts and counter thoughts ran amok within the Celestial World, with some advocating neutrality, and others a firm stance. But while many awaited its move, the Primal Sun Sect made no comment. The rogue cultivators' thoughts were simpler. The branches' standards would undoubtedly be a step below the main sect's. However, the resources at its disposal were hard to fathom.

Although many believed the Sea Dream Temple was financially weakened by its auction, their new Sages and Deities were by themselves critical resources. Who knew how they would use them. Moreover, the Sea Dream Domain's trillions of citizens and hundreds of sects provided vast income. It wouldn't be long before they were back on their feet.

Many disciples of weaker sects held the same view. And before Konrad even started the preparations, legions headed toward the Sea Dream City to await the Myriad Dreams Valley's inauguration.

Meanwhile, Konrad took ownership of the second mountain whose spiritual energies only lost to the first where the main sect stood. Theoretically, the second mountain existed solely for Rati's use. However, having neither intention nor need for a sub-sect, she only used to plant God-Medicines.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in this place isn't much worse than the Sea Dream Temple's. Once we construct the Spiritual Veins and control the repartition, building a better Core Zone than the Sea Dream Temple's is not impossible."

Verena appraised with an approving nod. All sects, regardless of scale, relied on Spiritual Veins to control the flow of spiritual energy in the area. The Myriad Dreams Valley would be no different. However, little did the world know that under those Spiritual Veins, Konrad would also construct Destiny Gathering Veins. As the name implied, those veins would gather the very destiny of the Celestial World, robbing all its lives of their Fate-Assigned chances while covertly enfeebling Heaven's Will.

Better, all the opportunities and inheritances meant to appear throughout Heaven would only sprout within the Myriad Dreams Valley.

Using the gathered destiny, Konrad could also refine Heaven Swallowing Pills, pellets whose formula he established to use the entire Realm as the foundation to enhance the strength of not only himself but his forces' at an alarming rate. However, he wouldn't be able to complete them before his seclusion.

"Let's get started."

Konrad ordered, and stretched out his hands, causing ten-thousand God-Jades to appear within the sky. On those jades, Konrad willed esoteric runes. The God-Jade then dived into the ground surrounding the mountain from underneath and raising a Clouding Mist Formation that prevented any peeping.

Having long-since reached the level of Formation God, even without his Laws, there were many things Konrad could do. And seeing the grey mist rising around the second mountain preventing all his observations, Kama's eyes narrowed.

"So he's also a Formation God. And judging from this formation's quality, around seven stars. How hateful."

Kama spat. Meanwhile, Konrad's work carried on. As his right index drew invisible signs on in the air, he modified the mountain's geography creating and morphing lines of spiritual veins within. With his free hand, he joined hands with Verena, supplying her with his formidable energy as she drew the ethereal Destiny Gathering Veins beneath the Spiritual ones.

If the creation of Spiritual Veins didn't take Konrad more than ten seconds, the Destiny Gathering Veins, however, took a lot more time. Konrad estimated seven days of hard work. Having other tasks to fulfill, he split into the three devils. The Fate Devil assisted Verena while the Truth Devil erected the Myriad Dream Valley's various buildings and cultivation abodes.

Konrad didn't forget to shift the Sea Dream Temple's treasury to his. Meanwhile, the main body tackled a just as critical issue:

Devil Pill Refining! While the Valkyrie assisted the Truth Devil in his constructions, Konrad took Heide and Cacillia into his new Pill Refining Hall. To Caillia's shock, Konrad and Heide's appearances changed to revert to their original selves. But while Heide's was just a shift in skin tone and eye color, Konrad's underwent startling changes that forced Cacillia's mouth into an "O" shape while her eyes widened in disbelief.

Seeing this, Heide covered the astounded girl's mind with her hand.

"Hey, even if you're stunned by dad's empyrean looks, you can't make it so glaring. Otherwise, how can he respect you? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Minor league player."

Heide chided with an impish grin, causing Cacillia to snap out of her torpor. But little did she expect Cacillia's reply to be:

"One should live true to their heart. Master is supremely handsome, unparalleled in the past, present or future. As his disciple, how can I not make him aware of this truth? That would not only go against my conscience, but show an unfilial and disloyal heart!"

Cacillia countered, causing Heide's expression to undergo a 180-degree turn.

"Argh...I underestimated you. Good, the competition should be more interesting."

Heide nodded in approval while an amused Konrad summoned a jet-black Cauldron rippling with vast Devil Force.
