Chapter 11 - The Void Core ritual

🌌 Hidden Caveabode – Timeless Silence

Shěn Nìchén stood before a black stone altar, etched with runes unseen since the Age of Immortals. It had been conjured silently by the system to house a ritual no one else in this world could perform.

Floating before him:

A flickering Live Void Flame, stolen from an unstable rift in the Void Sea.

Five perfectly cut Void-Type Spirit Stones, pulsing like hollow stars.

A single Peak-Grade Dao Pill, a treasure even ancient sects would kill for.

He placed each item without a word.

The room dimmed until not even his shadow remained.

🌀 Inside His Dantian

A storm of energy raged.

The foundation he built was now trembling—not breaking, but evolving.

Void Qi spiraled inward, forming a sphere—no, a core, forged not of flame or essence, but of absence itself.

His breathing slowed. His handsome face remained calm, unreadable. The glow from his skin and eyes had dimmed, but not from weakness—

—it was the stillness before divinity.

Then…

⚔️ [New System Feature: Intent Embodiment]

> 📜 "You no longer swing your sword. Your sword is your will."

Attacks now carry intent-based pressure.

Can sever weaker techniques mid-execution.

Sword intent affects reality slightly, allowing illusion-break, path-forging, and reality-tearing under certain conditions.

> "The blade no longer follows movement. It follows thought."

🌲 Far Away – Floating Divine Observation Tower

A young seer stared into the Sky-Pool Mirror.

> "Master… a massive shift in fate just occurred. But I can't see the source."

The elder behind her frowned. "What do you mean you can't?"

> "It's as if a sword… cut fate itself."

🧊 Back in the Caveabode

Shěn Nìchén opened his eyes.

They weren't glowing. They didn't need to.

He simply was.

Even his presence seemed to retreat, folding into the cave itself.

> "Core Formation, complete."

He stood.

His blade—still appearing dull—rested beside him.

> "Now… it's time to begin walking the world again."

"Quietly."
