In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 272 Nascent Soul Demon Treasure! Divine Power: Ode to the Moon!
"Thank you, teacher."

Su Yuanfei quickly said something, and then eagerly opened the wooden box.

A pearl the size of a thumb, perfectly round and flawless, resembling a piece of ruby, appeared before Su Yuan.

Although the pearl was in a dormant state, Su Yuan could still sense the overwhelming demonic power emanating from it.

Even faint, mournful cries could be heard, penetrating Su Yuan's ears.

Without a doubt, this is a top-tier magic weapon, or rather... a magical artifact.

"Master, this precious pearl is..."

Su Yuan picked up the scarlet pearl, rummaged through the wooden box, and, finding no instruction manual, asked a question with a curious expression.

Tai Baiji said calmly:
"This demonic pearl is called the Moon-Catching Pearl."

"The materials used in this bead are astonishing. It was made by that ancient Nascent Soul demon cultivator after the spiritual energy revival, using the moon of his world as the material."

"The moon in that world had tens of millions of indigenous inhabitants, who were also refined by that demonic cultivator."

"This person is extremely skilled in the art of space, and during the refining process, he inscribed a large number of spatial runes into the Calamity Moon Pearl."

"Many of these runes have significant research value. The fact that the price of modern storage magic items could be driven down is largely thanks to that Nascent Soul demon cultivator."

"Logically speaking, no matter how well you perform during military training, the school should not give such a reward."

"There are two reasons why you were able to obtain the Moon-Crushing Pearl. First, you made great contributions in the fight against the Golden Core demon cultivator Yanhe, and I made a special application for you."

"Secondly, it is because the Moon-Catching Pearl is too evil. Every full moon night, it will release demonic energy without restraint to erode the surroundings. Righteous cultivators will become slaves of the Moon-Catching Pearl if they are not careful."

"After this treasure was seized, no one in the entire Demon-Slaying Sword Sect was able to use it... Even if they could, they would be embarrassed to use it, since it would ruin their reputation."

"Therefore, this treasure has been gathering dust in the vault, and its practical value has been decreasing day by day, which is why the school was willing to relent."

After hearing Tai Baiji's introduction, Su Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears.

What a great master!

To receive a Nascent Soul level treasure for protection during the Foundation Establishment stage is definitely a privilege reserved for holy sons and daughters!

Although the Moon-Catching Pearl is a demonic artifact with various flaws, is it necessary for him to care?

Demonic energy is corrupting you, huh? Let it invade you!

Even the Xuanqi Sword couldn't touch me, so what can a Nascent Soul level magic treasure do to me?

It's just another pot of fine wine.

Based on the previous introduction, the Moon-Catching Pearl should be a magical artifact related to space.

However, Su Yuan's skill level was too low to imagine what specific functions it might have.

Fortunately, Tai Baiji didn't keep everyone in suspense and quickly got to the specific uses of the Calamity Moon Pearl.

"The effects of the Moon-Catching Pearl can be roughly divided into two categories."

"The first type is storage function. The storage space of the Moon-Destroying Pearl is equivalent to the surface area of ​​the moon, and living things can be placed inside... provided that you are not afraid of the erosion of the Moon-Destroying Demon Qi."

"The second type is the real combat function, which is called the Moon-Catching Domain."

"Once the Moon Tribulation Domain is activated, the owner of the magic weapon can directly pull the target into the domain."

"In the moonlit land, the owner of the magical artifact will receive an all-around boost, while the enemy will be weakened accordingly."

"At the same time, the owner of the magic weapon can also consume the power contained within the Calamity Moon Domain in one go to activate a top-tier sealing-type divine ability that comes with the magic weapon... This divine ability can use gravity to forcibly pull the enemy to the surface of the Calamity Moon for sealing, and its name is..."

"Earth Explosion Star?"

Su Yuan answered quickly.

Tai Baiji rolled her eyes at Su Yuan:
"The supernatural power is called 'Ode to the Moon.' If the target cannot withstand the erosion of the demonic energy of the Moon Calamity during the sealing period, then he will become a puppet controlled by the owner of the magic weapon."

"Therefore you can call this supernatural power the Moon-Singing Doll."

Su Yuan: "..."

In conclusion, the effects of the Moon-Catching Pearl are indeed top-notch.

However, Su Yuan was also very self-aware. With his current cultivation level, he couldn't even unleash one ten-thousandth of the power of the Tribulation Moon Pearl.

It's probably only good for storage.

Even if one were to forcefully open the Tribulation Moon Domain and the Song of the Moon Divine Power using the Great Desire Immortal Puppet and the Divine Spirit Root, it would still be a super incomplete version, making it difficult to challenge a higher realm.

However, on the other hand, he is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, so it is indeed a bit early to challenge a Golden Core cultivator. But if he were to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, and with the help of the Calamity Moon Pearl, the Mysterious Demon Sword, and many other means, he might actually be able to confront a Golden Core cultivator head-on, and even defeat him.

Far away.

Putting everything else aside, Su Yuan was extremely satisfied with the storage space on the entire lunar surface alone.

I'll go and get a refund for Chi Le'an's pyramid scheme later. This guy has switched back to his nice guy mode, so getting a full refund shouldn't be too difficult.

Then, mountains of corpses and seas of blood can be transferred to the Calamity Moon Space and carried with you.

There will no longer be a situation where you don't have your trump card when encountering an emergency.

When I go on expeditions to smaller worlds in the future, I can also put the Yuan Cult's cadres inside the Moon-Slaying Pearl, which should save a lot of teleportation costs.

When fighting in a group, all you need to do is unleash the Moon-Slaying Pearl, and you can instantly summon a large number of people!
Just as Su Yuan was happily imagining how to use the Moon-Catching Pearl, Tai Bai Tianji spoke up to remind him:

"The effects of the Moon-Catching Pearl are too overpowered. Most of its abilities should not be used in battles with classmates. Using its storage ability is the limit."

Su Yuan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

His storage ability is enough, which means he can bring mountains of corpses and seas of blood directly into the arena, making him absolutely invincible.

After obtaining the Moon-Catching Pearl, Su Yuan began his three-day vacation.

During these three days, Tai Baiji directly entrusted his daughter to Su Yuan for care.

While taking the white-haired loli around to play and visit friends, Su Yuan was also refining the Calamity Moon Pearl.

As an old-fashioned magic weapon created by ancient Nascent Soul demons, the Calamity Moon Pearl has been re-refined to a certain extent by the school, but the refining process cannot be omitted.

Theoretically speaking, Su Yuan could not refine a magic weapon at the Nascent Soul level.

Even if one wanted to forcibly refine it, it would take years of hard work.

But Su Yuan has the cheat code of "Demon Art: Finger Weapon".

Using the Demonic Art of Finger Technique on the Moon-Snatching Pearl dozens of times a day can turn even the hardest heart into a tender and alluring one.

Not to mention that he and the Moon-Catching Pearl were already extremely compatible.

In less than three days, Su Yuan completed the initial refining process. With the help of the Calamity Moon Pearl itself, he quickly became adept at using this magic weapon.

Just as Su Yuan finished refining the Moon-Chasing Pearl, a "ding-dong" sound rang in his ears.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully refining the demonic artifact 'Moon-Catching Pearl'!]

As is widely known, when a sect develops to a certain level, it will inevitably generate sect fortune.

[If we leave this fortune unattended, it will cause a large and unnecessary loss of the sect's fortune. Therefore, a good treasure to protect the sect is indispensable.]

The Moon-Shattering Pearl has considerable potential for growth; if you nurture it properly, it can become the most prized treasure of your demonic sect.
