Chapter 35: The Power of Heaven’s Funeral, I Need You to Assist My Cultivation!
After lighting his heart lamp, the trait Mu Lin obtained was Domination—a discovery that left him with mixed feelings.
As he contemplated this, an unexpected event occurred.
The newly ignited heart lamp blazed fiercely, its radiant glow flooding his sea of consciousness and strengthening his control over his creations.
Yet Mu Lin appeared to overlook one detail: not everything within his spirit obeyed his command.
*Clang!*
A bloodstained long sword suddenly leaped into the air. As if provoked, it slashed toward the blazing heart lamp.
Mu Lin narrowed his eyes but showed no surprise.
This wasn’t carelessness—he’d long known the sword had been corrupted during earlier experiments with the power of Heaven’s Funeral.
He’d even shattered and reforged the weapon, but the stubborn stains remained. Acquiring the heart lamp had been his countermeasure against this corruption.
His plan worked. The lamp’s dominating flames threatened the power of Heaven’s Funeral, provoking it to retaliate.
But Mu Lin wouldn’t stay idle.
*Buzz! Boom! Crash!*
His soul remained spherical in the sea of consciousness, yet the chains from his visualization writhed like serpents toward the sword. The Yellow Turban Might lumbered forward, swinging heavy fists. Spears, halberds, and other weapons materialized to block the assault.
All futile.
The sword was merely a vessel. When obstructed, the bloodstains crawled onto other visualized objects, commandeering them to attack the heart lamp anew. This parasitic mobility made the power of Heaven’s Funeral notoriously persistent.
Luckily, Mu Lin had absorbed only a trace amount. Though potent, the scant stains couldn’t overwhelm his spirit. Sealing them in a coffin remained an option—but unnecessary now.
*Boom!*
Channeling his mental strength, Mu Lin intensified the heart lamp’s flames. Light infused with the essence of Domination bathed the bloodstains, igniting everything they touched.
*Hiss!*
The collision erupted like oil hitting a blazing pan. Through his soul’s perception, Mu Lin watched the heart lamp begin to Refine the stains.
Yes, refining, not resisting or purifying.
The Heart Lamp of Will burned with Mu Lin’s arrogant emotions as fuel. During this process, he’d arrogantly believed he would certainly become divine, even declaring "My fate is my own, not heaven’s decree."
Kings, holy beings, even the heavenly principles—Mu Lin arrogantly sought to surpass them all. A "mere" land of Heaven’s Funeral held no terror for him.
Far from fearing it, Mu Lin firmly believed that as long as he survived and kept growing, even this so-called land of Heaven’s Funeral would fall under his control.
Undoubtedly, this was arrogance.
Yet this ‘arrogant’ mindset let Mu Lin ignite the heart-flame that dominates all things. This same arrogance made him unafraid of the land of Heaven’s Funeral.
Thus, Mu Lin’s heart-flame sought to refine even the eerie power of Heaven’s Funeral, bending it to his will.
Naturally, this proved difficult. The moment they clashed, Mu Lin discovered the power of Heaven’s Funeral was immensely potent—a hundred parts of heart-flame were needed to refine a single strand.
Fortunately, while the heavenly power was sparse, Mu Lin’s heart-flame drew strength from his conviction and spiritual energy.
“BREAK!”
With Mu Lin’s roar, his spiritual power flooded into the heart lamp, making it blaze fiercely.
BOOM
The radiant flames made the heavenly power sizzle. After roughly the time needed to drink tea, as Mu Lin’s spirit began tiring, the last traces of Heaven’s Funeral power in his sea of consciousness—were refined.
“Hah…”
Gasping, Mu Lin examined the transformed power. Even after refining, the power remained on his long sword’s tip as mottled bloodstains. The entire blade now carried a decayed, ominous aura—anything struck by it would suffer terribly.
Yet facing this, Mu Lin felt only excitement.
How could he not? The corruption boosted the sword’s power and expanded his combat options. Crucially, the refined energy no longer affected him.
“If the whole sword were stained like this, its power might rival sword cultivators specializing in sword techniques!”
He shook his head. While the Heart Lamp of Will could refine Heaven’s Funeral power, it remained too weak—each strand required hundredfold effort. This exhausting gap made Mu Lin consider waiting until his cultivation methods improved.
Then he immediately discarded that plan.
He’d overlooked something vital—refining the heavenly power actually trained his heart lamp. Both the refining process and subsequent control granted substantial proficiency gains.
【Heart Lamp of Will, Level 2 Proficiency (33/4900), Trait: Domination】
“33 points from one refinement! More sessions would skyrocket my progress!”
“Better yet, the refined Burial Power is devastating—whether applied to my long sword, chains, or Yellow Turban Might!”
Without hesitation, Mu Lin tapped that mysterious connection again.
“Fiends! Aid my cultivation!”
BOOM
The heart lamp erupted as violent struggle consumed his spirit…
One hour later, a drained Mu Lin halted. His spiritual energy neared depletion—yet the gains were immense.
First, a third of his sword now bore corrupt stains.
Second, the heart lamp’s proficiency reached Level 2 (81/4900).
Lastly—unexpectedly—his Mind Image · City of Heaven’s Funeral had also grown stronger.
“…Three benefits from one action?”
