Chapter 301: Chapter 300 Real Treasure, Fake Treasure (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Activating the [Time Saber] can accelerate time, with a minimum of double speed and a maximum of nine times speed.
As long as the speed of the saber is fast enough, it can quickly slay opponents.
Imagine two cultivators clashing.
Both make their moves simultaneously; one activates time acceleration, increasing speed to ninefold. Perhaps the enemy has just struck, but their saber has already landed on the enemy.
Then consider the [Time Flowing Light Sword], which also accelerates time, but the acceleration is inflicted on the enemy.
Instant acceleration, cutting ten years of lifespan, twenty years of lifespan from the enemy.
This divine technique is not very effective against young cultivators but has a significant impact on older ones.
Suppose that an old cultivator does not have much lifespan left. If struck by this sword, they might instantly lose thirty years of life, potentially exhausting their lifespan and dying.
"Both are time acceleration; one speeds up one’s own speed for faster strikes, while the other increases the sword’s power to reduce the enemy’s lifespan. Essentially, both are the same, yet they branch out in two different directions!"
Lu Xuanji reflected, pondering the transformations of the two, the wondrousness of the divine techniques.
His mind was calculating and simulating.
His left hand activated Creation Magical Power, evolving into a saber-shaped rune; his right hand activated Creation Magical Power, evolving into a sword-shaped rune.
His thoughts were operating, multitasking, rapidly calculating, simulating, and depicting.
The previously blurry runes gradually became clearer.
The murals on the runes became increasingly complex and vivid, the brush moved like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, deriving strands of mystery and subtlety.
The rune constructing speed was faster; the framework was more stable and harmonious.
About a day passed, and two ancient scripts formed.
"Fusion!"
With a thought, Lu Xuanji activated the fusion of the two runes.
Then, with a boom, the rune exploded on the spot.
It failed!
This was expected.
Yet, in an instant, Lu Xuanji sensed a certain position where space was gently oscillating.
This fluctuation was tiny.
So small it almost went unnoticed by the world, but it was crystal clear to Lu Xuanji, who always observed every change here.
The next moment, he reached toward the ground, and deep within the mountain, about five meters away, a grain of sand shot out, landing in Lu Xuanji’s palm.
Buzz buzz buzz!
This grain of sand, seemingly sentient, tried to transform into a light to escape but was forcibly fixed and could not move at all.
"A grain of sand, a world; this sand grain is a grotto heaven!"
Lu Xuanji was slightly surprised, with a flash of joy in his eyes.
In the cultivation immortality realm, some storage treasures exist, the storage bag being the lowest value and the easiest to refine, needing only Purple Mansion cultivation to refine.
The downside is the limited space, storing only inanimate objects, not living things;
There are also some insect bags, insect jars, etc., for storing some low-level items.
The highest-grade spatial treasure is the grotto world treasure.
At the Void Refining Realm, one can operate the power of space and, with the help of Profound Nether Stone, Void Stone, and other treasures, open up a grotto world.
He activated his divine thought, refining the sand, which then transformed into a pearl and entered the Dantian.
At this moment, a divine thought emanated from within the pearl.
[Future cultivator, I do not know who you are, nor do I know the current era. Just remember my title as Ancestor Dongxu, a cultivator of the fifth layer of Refining Void, who dominated an era. Yet ultimately, I could not defeat a formidable enemy, and the Celestial Spirit Sect was exterminated; I, too, was slain, and the sect’s cultivators were massacred!]
[The Celestial Spirit Sect was exterminated.]
[During that battle, sensing danger, I left eight treasures in secret places, hoping to give the Celestial Spirit Sect a chance to rise again.]
[In the Grotto World Pearl, there are several cultivation techniques and treasures, which I can gift to you. Upon gaining this treasure, you must rebuild my Celestial Spirit Sect and avenge the Feathered Transformation Sect.]
[To hide the Grotto World Pearl, I set up a fake treasure outside. The fake treasure is this Fifth Grade magical treasure Purple Gold Mountain, which contains a Fifth Grade spirit vein, a Fifth Grade Time Fruit Tree, one volume of Divinity Transformation Technique, and one volume of Alchemy Technique.]
The next moment, the divine thought dissipated.
Lu Xuanji was about to continue inspecting the Grotto World Pearl but forcibly restrained himself.
He must not be excited, must not be excited.
This place is not suitable for opening the Grotto World Pearl; if opening the Grotto World Pearl triggers a shocking anomaly, it would be troublesome.
Suddenly, he thought of the experiences of Ancestor Dan Yang, who had great encounters. Without great encounters, he would not have reached this point.
Although this ancestor never spoke of his great encounters, not even to close disciples,
Comparing this ancestor’s cultivation techniques, proficiency in alchemy, and using Purple Gold Mountain to suppress enemies, and comparing with the information from the Grotto World Pearl, suggested many possibilities.
"This Grotto World Pearl is the real treasure; the fake treasure seems to have been obtained by Ancestor Dan Yang!"
Lu Xuanji took a deep breath, seemingly realizing something.
Even the fake treasure held numerous valuable items, directly crafting a Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerable.
"Could this mountain peak underfoot be the Purple Gold Peak! Or is this mountain peak encasing the Purple Gold Peak!"
Lu Xuanji contemplated, gazing at the mountain peak underfoot.
The same Fifth Grade spirit treasure, one forged with tens of pounds of divine material, another with millions of pounds of divine material. In confrontation, the latter would be destroyed instantly.
Many times, cultivators wouldn’t forge towers, peaks, or heavy artifacts, as the material expense is too great.
This mountain peak didn’t enlarge via Size Alternation, but it’s inherently this large.
Forging it into a Fifth Grade spirit treasure would take countless materials!
Yet such a mountain peak, when activated, has formidable power, comparable to a Sixth Grade magical treasure.
"If my conjecture is right, the Fifth Grade spirit vein and the Fifth Grade Time Fruit Tree are inside the Purple Gold Peak... but how to enter the Purple Gold Peak..." Lu Xuanji seemed to have thought of something, directly activating the Divine Intent [Endless Red Dust], enveloping the mountain peak with Divine Intent.
Divine Intent enveloped the mountain peak, penetrating its interior.
Time slowly passed.
After eight breaths, Lu Xuanji felt slightly dizzy, his Spiritual Power exhausted, about to give up.
Inside the mountain peak, a purple-golden light suddenly enveloped Lu Xuanji’s body, and in the next moment, Lu Xuanji vanished.
Simultaneously, the array on the mountain peak activated, distorting vision, distorting perception.
To outsiders, "Lu Xuanji" still appeared seated, meditating quietly.
