Chapter 37

After the final battle with Hiko, Xunxin chose to return to the Infinite Heart the next day.

"Phew... It's been over forty years since I last came here..." Looking at the familiar circular light egg in front of him, Xunxin felt a bit melancholic. After all, the emotions accumulated over forty years in the world of Rurouni Kenshin were not easily let go.

'Contractor, the world summary is now beginning. The contractor's connection to the main characters of the world is A, mission completion is A, realm improvement is B, and the degree of world destruction is D. Overall evaluation is A, the contractor has earned a chance to draw a prize from the Heart-level and below worlds.'

"Seven Heart-level? What is that?"

"Heart-level is a method to determine the power level and character rating of a world. For example, you are currently at the Sixth Heart-level. According to your own understanding, the Servants in the Fate universe, such as Lancer, are at the mid-Eighth Heart-level, while Archer (King of Conquerors) is at the Ninth Heart-level. In the Touhou universe, Yuyuko Saigyouji is at the initial Fifteenth Heart-level. In the Infinite Heart, there are six major levels, with each five Heart-levels representing a significant leap. From 0 to 4 Heart-levels, people have not yet mastered much power, such as ordinary magicians in the Fate universe, qi users like Kenshin, and Level 1 and Level 2 espers in Academy City. From 5 to 9 Heart-levels, people begin to use a considerable amount of magic, for example, magicians like Ciel are at the Seventh Heart-level, while pure magicians like Kayneth are close to the Eighth Heart-level and can even defeat Eighth Heart-level Servants with the help of a battlefield. Starting from the 10th Heart-level, people begin to involve the laws of the world, such as the various abilities in the Touhou universe, and Kaguya Houraisan is considered a Thirteenth Heart-level powerhouse. Of course, overpowering others is also possible; Yuyuko Saigyouji's Fifteenth Heart-level evaluation is an example. Existences above the Fifteenth Heart-level can influence the world with laws, such as Yuyuko Saigyouji's ability to create a large barrier with her own evolved law. At the same time, existences above the Fifteenth Heart-level can cause unimaginable destruction to the world itself, for example, Simon can throw a star system like a frisbee and destroy the universe with a single move, which can be evaluated as the initial Eighteenth Heart-level. Existences above the Twentieth Heart-level are almost impossible to be born from a single world, as their total energy is equivalent to more than one world. They can be the rulers of countless worlds, able to destroy the laws of the world at will, and create or destroy dimensional worlds as easily as drinking water. Above the Twenty-Fifth Heart-level, they touch the core of the Infinite World, a power level that you cannot yet imagine. And at the Thirtieth Heart-level, only the Infinite Heart itself currently possesses this power, truly infinite."

"…Let's get the drawing done first." Xunxin thought that thinking about such distant matters now would be of no use, and even if he had the power to destroy the world in the future, he was still just a human-level character now.

"Alright, first is the Infinite-level drawing. This is the highest-level drawing in the Infinite Heart, and the contractor will receive any one of the items available in the Infinite Heart. The drawing begins." A deep blue spiral vortex appeared in front of Xunxin, with countless colored light points swirling within it.

"Contractor, please extend your hand into the Infinite Gate. Inside the Infinite Gate, there are countless cards symbolizing the items to be drawn. Grab one and pull it out to complete the drawing."

Xunxin followed the instructions and extended his hand into the Infinite Gate. The feeling of his hand inside the Infinite Gate was very peculiar, as if he were holding countless worlds in his hand.

"Then, this one." Xunxin pulled his hand out of the Infinite Gate, and a purple-black card glowed faintly in his hand. The card was adorned with patterns that Xunxin could not understand at all.

"Contractor has obtained the complete spatial law, and the reward is now being distributed." As the Infinite Heart's voice faded, the card transformed into countless light ribbons that circled around Xunxin and then merged into his body.

Xunxin checked his body, but there was no visible change. He just had a feeling that he could grasp space but not truly control it.

"Infinite Heart, please explain the complete spatial law in detail."

"Sure, contractor. The complete spatial law is integrated into the contractor's body and bound to the soul, but this does not mean that the contractor can use it immediately. The contractor currently lacks the power and realm to manipulate the spatial law, and the development of the spatial law is also insufficient. At present, the contractor can only perform instantaneous movement within a fifty-meter range, and the number of uses is limited. Fully mastering the spatial law is equivalent to the power level between the Twentieth and Twenty-Fifth Heart-levels."

"Then, let's use the remaining drawing chances." Since he had the opportunity to draw from the Ten Heart-level, it would be a waste not to use it now. With this thought, Xunxin asked the Infinite Heart to continue the drawing.

This time, Xunxin's luck was not bad, and he drew a blue card. Unlike the previous card with complex patterns, this one had clear large characters: 'Magic Source Activation.'

"Xunxin has obtained the Magic Source Activation, and the Magic Source is now being activated for Xunxin." A strange swelling and stinging sensation spread throughout Xunxin's body, causing his face to turn pale from the pain. However, the pain came and went quickly, and the activation of the Magic Source was completed in about ten seconds.

"The Magic Source is the magic power generated by the cells in the contractor's body, condensed and refined from the essence of magic cultivation methods from various worlds, and then further improved. The Magic Source can continuously condense, and multiple Magic Sources can resonate and merge. When the contractor's body is severely injured, the Magic Source can transfer the soul at high speed to escape, and the body can be reshaped through the Magic Source. The Magic Source is highly stable and not easily affected by common interference methods (such as Origin Bullets)."

"The contractor can now choose to bind the spatial law to a weapon, which will allow the contractor to maximize the use of the spatial law through that weapon."

"Can the bound weapon be changed?"

"Of course, but this requires the contractor to reach the Fifteenth Heart-level in the mastery of the spatial law. At that point, the contractor can freely change the bound weapon without the help of the Infinite Heart."

"…The weapon in my hand that is most suitable for binding is Kikyou Sen Mikkazuki, so I can only bind it to that."

After binding, Kikyou Sen Mikkazuki, infused with spatial power, reached the A++ level of the Fate universe's Noble Phantasms. Xunxin then invested 1,000 Heart Coins to reinforce Kikyou Sen Mikkazuki, pushing its quality to the EX level and beyond. According to the Infinite Heart, most attacks below the Fifteenth Heart-level would not damage it, but how much Xunxin could actually utilize it was another matter. It's like giving a commoner a divine weapon; they wouldn't be able to use its full power due to the high energy consumption.

Xunxin then spent another 1,000 Heart Coins to purchase the following: Basic Magic Compendium (100 Heart Coins), Intermediate Magic Compendium (250 Heart Coins), Advanced Magic Compendium (650 Heart Coins), and the equivalent of ten years of magic cultivation in a high-magic world (1,000 Heart Coins). Finally, he spent 1,000 Heart Coins to reinforce his physical abilities.
