Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 233 - 232 Zhou Bai’s New Plan 2
Zhou Bai had never before utilized the "All Techniques Nourish My Sword" in the Material World.
He returned to his dorm room, took out Christina’s Shadowbearer, then closed his eyes tightly, his thoughts stretching toward an infinitely distant place, arriving within the void, he saw countless sword techniques.
"That’s the one... the Fire Spreading Sword Skill."
In the next moment, Zhou Bai felt his Primordial Spirit ignite fiercely, instantly decreasing by 10 points of Primordial Spirit value.
Then, a flash of firelight appeared before him, it flickered slightly and then merged into the Shadowbearer.
Holding the Shadowbearer, Zhou Bai felt his body and mind master a martial art called the Fire Spreading Sword Skill.
"Burning off 10 points of Primordial Spirit value is the price of obtaining sword techniques from the void. However, the Fire Spreading Sword Skill is not particularly difficult or rare, so losing 10 points is acceptable. Even without the bonuses from high appearances, I can recover these 10 points of Primordial Spirit value in just a few hours."

"Next, there’s the laziness value needed for healing..."
Zhou Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly as if there were sword lights flickering within them.
When he had connected with the void and burned his Primordial Spirit power, an impulse kept surfacing in his heart, that was to throw his Primordial Spirit and thoughts completely into the void, merging with the ocean of swords.
As one could imagine, if he truly did that, it would result in either deformation or death.
And this feeling persisted even now as he had stopped using the Twilight Taoist Skill.
"This is the side effect of the Twilight Taoist Skill, touching the twisted Heavenly Dao, leading to distortion of body and mind."
Zhou Bai tried healing himself with the laziness value, and sure enough, it consumed 200 points in an instant.
Zhou Bai stroked his chin and did the calculations, "10 points of Primordial Spirit value, plus 200 points of laziness value. Comparatively, it still seems more cost-effective to cultivate sword techniques on my own and then infuse them into Shadowbearer, especially with the support of high appearance bonuses. By cultivating a common sword technique on my own, it might take at most a mere fifteen minutes."
Thinking this, Zhou Bai had already made a decision, unless necessary, he would continue to cultivate sword techniques on his own and then infuse them into the sword artifact.
Christina looked at Zhou Bai’s actions, hopped over to touch the Shadowbearer, and expressed concern, "Is my Shadowbearer okay? The seven star points on my Shadowbearer’s diagram were all achieved through its cultivation. If the sword exists, the cat exists; if the sword perishes, the cat perishes."
"Don’t worry, your sword won’t be damaged," Zhou Bai said.
Christina asked, "Using the Twilight Taoist Skill directly on the Shadowbearer won’t be a problem, right? It won’t affect my future cultivation with Shadowbearer, will it?"
"How could it? During these past few days in the study group, I’ve also done some calculations while cultivating, and the two aspects should be compatible. You use the Shadowbearer to cultivate the Shadowbearer Diagram, obtaining abilities like invisibility and energy concealment, while I use the Twilight Taoist Skill to endow it with sword techniques, enhancing the sword artifact’s power with forces from beyond the heavens. They won’t interfere with each other."
"Instead, if we share a sword in the future, the Shadowbearer will inherit both abilities and become even more formidable."
"Speaking of forces from beyond the heavens, since I’ve experimented with ’All Techniques Nourish My Sword,’ might as well try other Twilight Taoist Skills."
With that thought, Zhou Bai deployed the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers of Twilight Taoist Skill, channeling otherworldly forces and injecting them into the Shadowbearer. Using the otherworldly forces as the power for the Shadowbearer, it could fly and perform stabbing strikes, enhancing the weapon’s might.
An hour later, under Zhou Bai’s control, the Shadowbearer flew into mid-air and pierced back and forth as if invisible forces were pulling it.
This was the driving force of the otherworldly powers, not Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit power. Zhou Bai only needed to expend mental effort to control it, without needing to use any Primordial Spirit power as the motive force.
Especially as the Shadowbearer tumbled through the air, it seemed that starlight twinkled along with it, a sign that the forces from beyond had sharpened the edge of the Shadowbearer.
Christina exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! The Shadowbearer is sparkling now, it looks so pretty!"
Elsa’s eyes widened as she stared at the sparkling Chengying, wanting to swallow it and see what it tasted like.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "After an hour of cultivation, Chengying can now be driven by extraterrestrial forces and have its lethality enhanced. But its power is only about the same as when it’s driven by 100 points of Primordial Spirit force, mainly because I haven’t cultivated for long enough.
If I keep cultivating like this, the extraterrestrial forces contained in Chengying will become stronger, and the synchronization rate with them will get higher.
As long as my Primordial Spirit force is strong enough, more extraterrestrial forces can be gathered into Chengying, growing until the extraterrestrial forces within can rival the limit of my Primordial Spirit force, which right now is 3,000 points. If it goes any higher, there’s a risk of losing control.
Ah, the Daoist cultivators of old could condense a sword incarnation after mastering the six layers of Twilight Taoist Skill under the Tianhe Star Explosion. It didn’t need their own power to be activated and could exert a variety of powerful sword techniques, almost as powerful as when driven by their own Primordial Spirit force.
Now, I have to face huge side effects. This one hour of cultivation has cost me 100 points of laziness value to heal. The side effects of this Twilight Taoist Skill really are enormous. I’m still short on laziness value."
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai became even more concerned about the plan he had come up with and decided to experiment with it immediately.
...
The next morning, a group of guards looked at each other in disbelief at the scene before them.
They saw that inside the school’s waste treatment plant, a vast amount of filth had vanished into thin air, and the entire plant was spotless, as clean as if it were brand new.
A guard said with astonished suspicion, "Did someone... steal the feces?"
...
Ugh!
Ugh!
Christina was bent over the edge of her bed, her mouth opening occasionally to retch, but after a long time, she couldn’t throw up anything.
"Freak!"
"Zhou Bai, you freak!"
"Why on earth would you sell feces!"
"May you have nightmares for the rest of your life!"
Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "Tina, not to criticize you, but your Dao heart is too fragile. Just a bit of filth and you’re like this. How are you going to resist mutations in the future?"
Christina angrily retorted, "What you’re doing is more disgusting than mutations!"
"How am I disgusting?!" Zhou Bai protested indignantly. "Sewage treatment has always been a troublesome matter. If it’s not dealt with properly, with so many people in East Dao School and East Dao City, it won’t take a few days for the stench to permeate the air and severe pollution to ensue. Then we’ll have health issues, medical problems, and even possible mutations, all problems.
Especially now, what times are we living in? With scarce resources, humans still need to expend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with sewage.
What I’m doing is contributing to humanity, reducing the burden on society."
Christina paused, actually finding Zhou Bai’s words reasonable, and she was somewhat at a loss for words.
On the other side, Zhou Bai was counting his earnings from yesterday, "Indeed, stealing and robbing can also be considered as my possessions, and then I can sell them. It’s just that I must wait for more than 10 minutes before I can sell them. This efficiency is indeed a bit slow."
He recalled how he used his Primordial Spirit force to lift up the filthy sky and sold it bit by bit, feeling it was too slow.
"I only earned a little over 1,000 credits, the efficiency is too low."
"On the other hand, the Dao School’s goods are a bit scarce, perhaps I should go to a larger processing plant."
