Over the next ten days, he roamed the entire Essence Sky World with Aurelius, copying everything the best weapon refiners had to offer.

As for Aurelius, it was his first time in a new world. He was curious about this new world, so he didn't ask Alex why he was just roaming the entire world while doing nothing.

At last, it was time to repair the Freezing Sky Spear.

The Freezing Sky Spear was once the mighty weapon of the Tribe of Tomorrow, but it was now cracked and looked worn out. In order to repair this weapon, Alex had gathered all the materials he needed.

On top of a tall mountain, Alex could be seen sitting cross-legged. The damaged Freezing Sky Spear was placed in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, Alex moved his hands steadily, summoning a blue and white flame that started dancing between his fingers. This was not an ordinary flame, but Essence Fire. This fire is capable of refining even the hardest materials found in the world.

When Alex was replicating weapon-refining talent and knowledge from top weapon refiners, he came across a Weapon Refiner that possessed the Essence Fire.

Because he doesn't have a suitable flame to refine a weapon, Alex ends up replicating the Essence Fire.

As for the Shadow Devouring Flame, the properties and attributes of this flame made it impossible to use for weapon refinement. Instead, it can be considered more of a hidden weapon and a trump card that can be used in critical moments.

Slowly, Alex wrapped the Essence Fire around the damaged spear and precisely controlled the temperature. His every move was so smooth that if there were people witnessing this scene, they might have thought Alex was a top Weapon Refiner of the world and had been refining weapons for countless years.

Under Alex's control, the spear began to heat up. Slowly, Alex can feel the cracks on the spear's surface starting to shift and shrink. With each careful movement, he inserted rare metals and materials he had gathered during his journey, fusing them into the spear's body. Every addition of materials and metals strengthened the spear.

Just like that, Alex started restoring the spear's core structure piece by piece.

As Alex worked, his energy flowed into the Freezing Sky Spear, repairing the spear's inner formations and restoring the delicate runes that powered its abilities. Even with Alex's cultivation, hours passed since he started repairing the spear. Finally, the spear began to glow faintly, and a cold aura returned to its shaft, growing stronger with each moment.

At the same time, gleaming sharpness returned to its head.

As Alex neared the final step, something unexpected happened. Alex noticed a change in his personal space.

Frowning, Alex sensed that the Stone of Tomorrow trembling violently. Alex paused after sensing the stone's movement. He found that the Stone of Tomorrow was responding to the repair of the Freezing Sky Spear.

The Tribe of Tomorrow was the guardian responsible for keeping the Stone of Tomorrow safe. The Freezing Sky Spear is directly related to the fate of the Tribe of Tomorrow. It is not that surprising for the Stone of Tomorrow to show reactions to the Freezing Sky Spear.

Although Alex didn't know before, it didn't take him long to figure out that the Freezing Sky Spear must also be related to the Stone of Tomorrow, or maybe, the so-called Eternal Curse links both the Stone of Tomorrow and the Freezing Sky Spear.

Whatever the case, Alex felt a cold chill running down his spine because of the violent tremble of the Stone of Tomorrow. The stone's vibrations were growing more and more intense and then came a time where Alex felt as if the Stone of Tomorrow was trying to break free from his personal space.

The Stone of Tomorrow pulsed with terrifying energy.

[Take out the Stone of Tomorrow!]

Suddenly, a message appeared in Alex's mind. This message was obviously sent by the Heavenly Spirit Stone that was positioned near the Stone of Tomorrow.

Alex hesitated no longer and took out the Stone of Tomorrow, and it was at this moment Alex realized that his guess was correct. The Stone of Tomorrow and the Freezing Sky Spear were connected.

But there were still many questions.

Alex hurriedly took out the Heavenly Spirit Stone and asked, "Tell me, what is happening?"

[The Tribe of Tomorrow and the Freezing Sky Spear are connected through time, and the Stone of Tomorrow is reacting to the restoration of this ancient weapon.]

The Heavenly Spirit Stone's answer, in fact, caused several more questions to appear in Alex's mind.

"Tell me in detail. Tell me everything!"

Fortunately, the Heavenly Spirit Stone is like an all-knowing sage. It soon cleared Alex's doubts.

[The first person who obtained the Stone of Tomorrow used it to comprehend a time-related ability. This stone allowed him to travel through time. That person became powerful, reaching the Death Domination Stage. He was the first wielder of the Stone of Tomorrow and was a brilliant but ambitious warrior.

He wanted to gain complete control over the Stone of Tomorrow, but even after becoming the Death Domination Stage warrior, he was unable to make the Stone of Tomorrow recognize him as its owner.]

[Because the Stone of Tomorrow is incomplete without the other three stones when it is activated, a few strands of its essence normally leak out, but it always absorbs it back. One day, while traveling through time, that person stole a strand of the stone's essence and used this strand of the stone's essence to create a weapon. That weapon was the Freezing Sky Spear.

The man's actions caused the stone to be awakened, and in anger, the stone cursed that person and his entire tribe. That's how appeared the Tribe of Tomorrow.]

The Heavenly Spirit Stone paused before continuing.

[The curse connected that man's entire tribe's fate with the Freezing Sky Spear. As long as the Spear is there, the tribe can always revive even after its complete destruction. In return, the tribe has to guard the Stone of Tomorrow with their lives.]

[This curse is more like a blessing because the Tribe of Tomorrow can defy fate and revive again after their complete destruction as long as the Freezing Sky Spear is there. However, the Tribe of Tomorrow still saw it as an Eternal Curse because while it granted them the ability to resurrect their entire tribe, it also shackled them.

The curse bound their existence to the spear and their home, restricting their freedom. Members of the tribe could not leave the tribe's territory for extended periods without losing their strength and vitality. The more they wandered away from the tribe's lands, the weaker they became. The curse kept them anchored, unable to roam the world freely.]

[In the beginning, the people from the Tribe of Tomorrow didn't think too much and thought this curse was nothing, but staying only at one place for billions even trillions of years truly showed the dark nature of this curse. You should know that the Tribe of Tomorrow has witnessed the shattering of the original world. They've also witnessed the terror brought by the appearance of Valley of Death.

But everything was forgotten with time. Old people die while new lives are born, thus forgetting the past slowly over time.]

Alex listened intently, understanding the gravity of the situation. But there was more.

The Heavenly Spirit Stone continued to explain without holding anything back.

[The curse also restricted the people of the Tribe of Tomorrow from losing their cultivation talent, causing their tribe's strength to fall greatly. In the end, they couldn't even reach the Celestial Phenomenon Stage.]

[During their last battle, the Freezing Sky Spear was damaged and thus the entire Tribe of Tomorrow disappeared from the surface of the world. They were destroyed by the greed of other people who came to know about the Stone of Tomorrow's existence.]

[Now that you are attempting to restore the Freezing Sky Spear, your actions are affecting the essence of the stone sealed inside the spear. Once the Freezing Sky Spear is fully restored, the Stone of Tomorrow will awaken once more. This is also why the Stone of Tomorrow is reacting this way now that the spear is nearing completion of its repair.]

Alex finally understood everything. But there was still one more question left. He wanted to know why the leader told him through the letter that he would be cursed after the Freezing Sky Spear was completely restored, but that curse might be a good thing for him.

There is also the fact that the System didn't show anything about the essence of Stone of Tomorrow in the Freezing Sky Spear's information.
