Chapter 300: Chapter 299: Golden Token (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Swish Swish!
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, one step after another, striding ahead.
With every step forward, a year of lifespan vanished.
By the time he took ten steps, ten years of lifespan had disappeared.
At this moment, Sect Leader Sun’s voice came, "Fellow Daoist, please stop?"
"Why?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
Sect Leader Sun said, "In the past, a cultivator climbed the peak, but the price was losing a hundred years of lifespan. To obtain a Golden Token, it’s not worth it."
"But I’m still curious about what exactly can be gained or lost by ascending the peak. A mere hundred years of lifespan, I don’t care!" Lu Xuanji said, with a sense of carefreeness in his words.
After attaining the Nascent Soul stage, his lifespan increased to one thousand two hundred years, with about seven hundred years remaining, a mere hundred years is of little concern to him.
Swish!
Swish!
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, each step imprinting, and each step took away a year of lifespan.
Upon reaching the peak, it was exactly a hundred steps, losing a hundred years of lifespan.
Standing atop the mountain peak, there was a palace, precisely the Dan Yang Palace.
As he walked to the front of the palace, the doors automatically opened.
Entering the great hall, inside there was a statue being worshiped, exuding an immortal aura, high and lofty, radiating traces of divine charm.
It was just a statue, yet the aura it emitted made Golden Core Cultivators hold it in reverence.
This was the Dan Yang Celestial Venerable, a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.
Looking at this ancestor, Lu Xuanji couldn’t help but pay his respects.
A Golden Core leader, undying for a thousand years, called an old ancestor by the people.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch, regarded as an old monster, rarely seen.
A Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerable, considered mythical, only heard in legends, never seen in person.
In front of a Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerable statue, any amount of respect is warranted, directly moving forward to light three sticks of incense, inserting them into the incense burner.
Swish!
At that moment, a light flashed on the statue, and then a Golden Token flew out, landing before him.
Simultaneously, a voice followed.
"Join my Dan Yang Sect, and my Dan Yang Sect will be your backing. This Token can save your life!"
Then the statue once again returned to stillness.
Holding the Golden Token, Lu Xuanji immediately sensed some information about the Golden Token.
Sealed within this Golden Token was a magic from Dan Yang Celestial Venerable, [Void Shift].
Upon activating the Golden Token, this magic could be triggered to help cultivators break free from magical confines and instantly transport them ten thousand miles away to escape.
Holding this Token was equivalent to having an extra life.
Even if faced with a Divinity Transformation attack, one could rely on the Token to save one’s life.
The Golden Token, also known as the Disciple Token.
With this Token, one could participate in the assessments of Dan Yang Celestial Venerable and qualify to become his disciple.
By dripping blood and refining this Token, it can be stored in the Dantian.
Lu Xuanji let out a sigh of relief, realizing that this Dan Yang Celestial Venerable was truly generous and candid.
With his foot moving, he was about to descend the mountain, but suddenly thought of something and directly sat cross-legged on the mountain peak to begin comprehending.
One step takes away a year of lifespan, a hundred steps take away a hundred years of lifespan.
This indicates that a Time Array or Life Array is inscribed at the mountain top, which can take away his lifespan at a touch. If one could comprehend this array, even slightly, the gains would be immense.
Compared to that, the mere Golden Token seemed insignificant.
"Elder Lu also realized it!"
"Elder Lu is also in contemplation!"
"It’s just a pity that the Time Array is inscribed at the mountain top, making it fundamentally too difficult to comprehend!"
"Some have studied it for ten years without understanding it in the slightest!"
Many Golden Core Elders seeing this scene did not dissuade him but left directly.
On Dan Yang Peak, there are three challenges.
The first challenge involves creating an incarnation that one can battle against.
The second challenge, based on the cultivator’s mental realm, creates an illusion realm to help Nascent Soul cultivators comprehend realms.
The third challenge is where one step loses a year, and a hundred steps lose a hundred years of lifespan.
What is called a challenge is actually a supreme benefit for top-tier cultivators.
The first two challenges were set by Dan Yang Celestial Venerable.
But the third challenge was obtained by Dan Yang Celestial Venerable from a certain ruin.
Especially the third challenge, which involves the Time Array, holds great attraction for cultivators.
Space is king, time is supreme. Magic, techniques, magical treasures, or arrays related to time are above ordinary items. Understanding them is hugely beneficial for cultivators.
Unfortunately, countless cultivators came eagerly, only to find after years, decades, or even hundreds of years, that they gained nothing at all.
Gradually, many cultivators gave up.
...
Moments later, under the mountain peak, everyone dispersed.
Only Lu Xuanji remained there, moving around, beginning to measure the mountain peak.
Especially observing the [Time Stele], trying to sense the Time Array, but it was of no use, gained no insight, and made no discoveries... Of course, there was no loss of lifespan.
One step reduces one year of lifespan, a hundred steps reduce a hundred years.
After a hundred years of lifespan is lost, one can walk freely on the mountain peak without any loss of lifespan.
It seems that after a hundred years of lifespan loss, one gains the right to walk on the mountain peak.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
After a lengthy contemplation, there was no insight.
"Seems like something’s missing..."
Lu Xuanji shook his head and was about to turn and leave.
He suddenly thought of something and stopped his steps.
He suddenly thought of a Supreme Divine Technique, [Great Five Elements Yin Yang Magnetic Cosmic Starlight Extinction Divine Saber], the most powerful attack divine skill he had encountered, bar none.
Of many Supreme Divine Techniques, in terms of attack power, none could compare to it.
In this divine skill, it involves the Power of the Five Elements, Yang Power, Elemental Magnetic Power, Power of Time, Power of Space, Power of the Stars, Power of Extinction, and more. The complexity was enough to make his head spin.
Until now, Lu Xuanji had only mastered a truncated version of this divine skill, [Five Elements Yin Yang Magnetic Divine Saber], but even this was at the level of Supreme Divine Techniques.
"In this divine skill, Cosmos represents the Power of Time. However, in this divine skill, the Power of Time is mostly expressed in destructive ways... In fact, the Power of Time is not just for destruction!" Thinking of this, Lu Xuanji sensed the phone in his Sea of Consciousness and opened it.
On the phone, it recorded the method to cultivate this divine skill.
This divine skill involved the Law of Cause and Effect, causing the cultivator to unconsciously forget.
Lu Xuanji had already forgotten about this divine skill’s cultivation method.
Thankfully, the phone avoided the Law of Cause and Effect, recording this divine skill’s cultivation method within. It didn’t matter if Lu Xuanji forgot, as long as he frequently checked, he could understand the content.
Ignoring other content, he directly focused on a certain Chapter.
[Time Saber].
