A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 210
Chapter 206 A Model for Our Generation
The fourth floor of the Void Heaven Palace contains hundreds of stone halls.
Among them, one room, like the one on the second floor, is a key room for the array.
After finding the place, Han Li repeatedly confirmed,
“This is definitely it.”
Then, he injected his magic power into a fragment of the Void Heaven Map, using it as a key to open the stone door of this hall.
As soon as he entered, he released his divine sense to observe the surroundings.
With just one glance, he exclaimed softly,
“Strange? How come the space inside is so large?”
From the outside, this stone hall appears to be only twenty or thirty feet long, but the actual interior space exceeds two hundred feet.
There is only one reason for this phenomenon: an array.
A “mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru” array technique, similar to a storage bag.
Back when he was in Huangfeng Valley, he had seen the young master Lin, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, use a similar method to make his room appear larger than it appeared from the outside.
From the outside, it looked very cramped,
but inside it was quite spacious.
It’s just that the methods of the ancient cultivators like the Ice Soul Fairy were more exquisite and powerful.
They managed to expand a space of twenty or thirty feet to over two hundred feet.
“Wait, could the entire Void Heaven Palace, spanning over a million miles, have been compressed and packaged using the same spatial techniques?”
Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine how the ancient cultivators like the Ice Soul Fairy could have created such a small space of tens or hundreds of thousands of miles in just a hundred years.
…
The stone palace is divided into a main hall and a secret chamber.
In the main hall, a giant centipede puppet, over thirty feet long, had already discovered Han Li and locked onto him, poised to pounce at any moment.
“A Nascent Soul level puppet…”
Han Li took a deep breath.
He didn’t dare to be careless and decisively summoned Qu Hun, a peak late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and also summoned thousands of Gold-Eating Insects to transform into two sets of armor for the two of them.
This was the “Insect Armor Technique.”
Following closely behind were Xiao Bai and Xiao Yu, along with over twenty level five or six Gold-Eating Insect elites and tens of thousands of level four Gold-Eating Insects.
The main focus was on being fully prepared.
On the centipede puppet’s side, there was also movement; its body segments tensed, like compressed springs. The next moment, the springs released, and the giant centipede suddenly lunged forward with
incredible speed .
Even from a distance, the enormous, pincer-like mandibles on its head gleamed with a chilling light.
Its flanks, with their blade-like legs, also shimmered with a terrifying coldness.
Seeing this, Han Li immediately activated his Hurricane Shield.
Dozens of tornadoes formed from wind blades roared out, creating an incredibly thick wind wall.
However, this highly defensive wind magic didn’t last long against the centipede puppet, being bitten apart or shattered one by one.
But
behind the wind array were not only the suspended Han Li and Qu Hun, but also more than twenty Gold-Devouring Spirit Spears formed from tens of thousands of Gold-Devouring Insects!
“After devouring millions of Ironfire Ants, my Gold-Eating Insect swarm has finally undergone another transformation, gaining the ability to evolve magical weapons. And without exception, the evolved weapons are all high-level magical weapons far superior to ordinary ones.” “
If I further enhance them with my magic power, the power of the Gold-Eating Spirit Spear will increase considerably.”
So, this mere puppet, this inanimate object, can help me test the new abilities gained by the Gold-Eating Insects.
“Go!”
The golden spear transformed into a streak of light, piercing the centipede puppet’s body head-on, scattering numerous sparks and leaving scratches on its surface.
However, the scratches quickly disappeared,
as if the wounds had healed automatically.
It should be noted that these Gold-Eating Spirit Spears all had spearheads made of level five or six Gold-Eating Insects, making their attack power several times stronger than ordinary magical weapons. Furthermore, the spear itself was formed from thousands of level four Gold-Eating Insects, concentrating their power into one, almost maximizing every aspect.
Yet, even so,
the damage inflicted on the centipede puppet was still extremely limited.
“That’s all you can do?”
Han Li raised an eyebrow,
feeling a sense of unease.
It seemed this ancient puppet wasn’t an ordinary Nascent Soul level puppet.
His conventional methods were largely ineffective.
He was preparing to unleash one of his killing moves, the Spatial Rift, also known as the Crescent Moon Spatial Slash, to end the battle in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, the Demon-Slaying Arrow crafted from Golden Thunder Bamboo trembled, and then Xuan Gu emerged, eagerly volunteering:
“Master, let me try the Asura Sacred Flame! The Azure Ice Flame alone is enough to threaten almost all mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone the Asura Sacred Flame. This is an ice flame divine power created by a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator from the Chaotic Star Sea in ancient times! Its power is several times that of the Azure Ice Flame!”
“You fused the Asura Sacred Flame?”
Han Li asked.
“No, I only got some semi-finished products.”
These were just some grayish-white flames.
“Are you sure that just semi-finished Asura Sacred Flame can deal with this puppet? Don’t overdo it.”
Han Li expressed his doubt.
Xuan Gu confidently declared,
“Master, rest assured, even if I only bring out a small, newly fused piece, it’s terrifying enough. While this ancient puppet here is incredibly tough and even possesses a strange regenerative ability, no matter how powerful it is, it’s far from reaching the late-stage Nascent Soul realm; it’s at most a mid-stage Nascent Soul. My Asura Sacred Fire is more than enough to deal with it.”
The Asura Sacred Fire is arguably even
more powerful than the Azure Ice Flame. If a cultivator is touched by the Ice Flame, their flesh and blood will be burned to ashes.
If a puppet’s body is touched by the Ice Flame, even an ancient Nascent Soul level puppet would certainly suffer greatly.
Seeing Xuan Gu’s confidence and eagerness, Han Li nodded after a moment’s thought:
“Then give it a try.”
He also wanted to see the power of the Asura Sacred Fire.
If Xuan Gu’s half-finished product could perform well, then the risk of saving Xuan Gu’s life would have been worthwhile.
After all, he will definitely refine the mysterious ice flame, the Azure Ice Flame, in the future.
At that time, with Xuan Gu’s help, they could simply refine the finished Asura Sacred Flame directly.
In other words, in the early stages, Xuan Gu Shangren Xiao Cha, a prodigy of the Chaotic Star Sea era, would develop, cultivate, and bear the risk of the Asura Sacred Flame going out of control! This ordinary-looking and unremarkable person could simply reap the benefits, wouldn’t that be great? Making the best use
of everyone’s talents!
Make the most of everything.
Once he refines the finished Asura Sacred Flame, he’ll have another powerful trump card.
As the saying goes, the power of the Azure Ice Flame is already so great, rendering Nascent Soul cultivators below the late Nascent Soul stage helpless. Just how formidable would the finished Asura Sacred Flame, several times more powerful than the Azure Ice Flame, be?
Han Li had high expectations for this.
Therefore, he actively entangled the centipede puppet, creating an opportunity for Xuan Gu.
Although Xuan Gu had lost many memories, he retained all his years of combat experience.
He summoned a black-green orb, chasing after the centipede puppet. Inside the orb, a miniature blue dragon darted left and right, still impacting the barrier formed by the Profound Soul Yin Fire and the black divine lightning.
A new color appeared amidst the interweaving of black, green, and blue: grayish-white.
This was the semi-finished Asura Sacred Flame.
It was a legendary ice flame that fused the Profound Soul Yin Fire, the Azure Ice Flame, and the demonized Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning.
“Little White, Little Jade.”
On Han Li’s side, the hurricane barrier rose again, slowing down the centipede puppet’s attack.
The two large white jade spiders continuously spit silk into the hurricane swarm.
Caught off guard, the centipede puppet did not dodge but charged headlong into the massive spider webs. These webs were extremely tough and highly adhesive; once attached, they would severely impair movement.
This was a huge problem for a massive creature.
The giant centipede suddenly became less agile, and its attacks were no longer as swift as lightning.
Xuan Gu’s eyes lit up at this sight.
An opportunity.
He immediately activated the light sphere.
The blue flames inside the light sphere began to rotate rapidly, while the outer Xuan Soul Yin Fire and black electric arcs rotated in opposite directions.
At this moment, the light sphere emitted a dazzling glow.
Immediately following a muffled sound resembling a dragon’s roar, countless cold, grayish-white sparks erupted from the sphere of light, raining down upon the giant centipede puppet below.
“Gather!”
Xuan Gu manipulated the sparks with a series of hand seals, and the falling sparks seemed to possess a life of their own, moving at his will.
In an instant, they enveloped the centipede puppet, which was heavily restricted by the Blood Jade Spider Web.
“Sizzle…”
Upon contact with the centipede puppet, faint black arcs of electricity immediately appeared, followed by a rapid solidification and freezing. In the blink of an eye, a grayish-white crystal ice sculpture, tens of feet tall, rose from the spot, resembling an untouchable iceberg.
The giant centipede within was incredibly lifelike.
Even a large portion of the dozens of hurricane tornadoes unleashed by Han Li were affected, frozen by the grayish-white flames into lifelike, transparent tornadoes.
“It’s done?”
Han Li remained highly vigilant, not letting his guard down.
…
Several dozen breaths later, the centipede puppet still showed no reaction.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze then turned to the secret chamber behind the main hall.
There,
even through the magic array, his divine sense clearly saw a platform several meters high and a spiritual spring about ten meters in diameter.
The spiritual spring itself was nothing special.
The key was the spiritual plants within the two platforms that occasionally flashed with golden arcs of electricity.
“Golden Thunder Bamboo!”
And it was a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo with seven large sections and one small section!
Judging from its size, its age was about seventy-two thousand years!
Seeing this Golden Thunder Bamboo, for some reason, Han Li’s mind was unusually calm.
Directly behind the platform, on a stone wall, there seemed to be flowing spiritual light.
He scanned it with his divine sense, and it was immediately repelled by the restrictions on it. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a long passage of ancient text.
The semi-literate Han Li read it for a long time and barely understood what it said.
Firstly, it was nothing more than the origin of the ancient demonic calamity.
Secondly, it recounts some of the deeds of this Golden Thunder Bamboo.
Thirdly, it expresses the hope that tens of thousands of years later, when the spiritual energy of the human realm reaches a dangerous level—that is, when the Void Heaven Palace is “forced” to officially appear—a person of extraordinary talent will be able to break the restrictions of this place, retrieve the Golden Thunder Bamboo
, and refine magical treasures. Furthermore, it hopes that the continuous stream of exorcising divine thunder will eliminate the boundless demonic energy in the sealed demonic abysses of the human realm. It is hoped that after future generations retrieve the Golden Thunder Bamboo and refine the magical treasures, these treasures will be passed down through generations, like the foolish monk who opened Mount Yu, using the exorcising divine thunder to eliminate the demonic energy of the demonic abysses.
A single section of ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo can typically be used to refine twelve small Golden Thunder Bamboo magical treasures, comparable to Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrows or Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.
Each small Golden Thunder Bamboo magical treasure has a cooldown period of three to four months to recover its exorcising divine thunder. This
allows for three shots a year,
three hundred shots in a hundred years, and
thirty thousand shots in ten thousand years.
Unleashing 30,000 bolts of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder would, while not necessarily pacifying the bottomless Demon Abyss, would significantly weaken the demonic energy’s erosion of this realm.
If all seven sections of the ancient Golden Thunder Bamboo before him were refined into magical treasures, and then another 10,000 years were spent accumulating Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, 2.52 million bolts of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder could be unleashed on a single Demon Abyss!
Pacifying Demon Abysses would no longer be a pipe dream.
This is one of the solutions left to future generations by ancient cultivators.
Another solution left Han Li even more astonished.
It was nothing more than this.
Around the platform where the Golden Thunder Bamboo was planted, there were at least hundreds of purple stones of various sizes.
He was all too familiar with those purple stone beads that could store electricity!
He had one himself!
Looking again at those purple stone beads that had already absorbed their energy, Han Li even felt a chill run down his spine, silently mourning for a certain powerful demon clan for three seconds!
“The ancient cultivators are truly role models for us all…”
