Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Seven: Treasure Artifact

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/24 18:05:29
    A powerful force fills the flesh.

    Chen Yun experienced the power of tearing mountains and rivers for the first time.

    With the power of his own body alone, he believed he could blow up many mid-level sorcerers.

    Indeed, according to the standard of accumulating essence and refining body, the Mid-term Formation realm corresponds to a medium-level sorcerer. As long as they do not encounter cultivators who practice Yin God or Jinyong, and so on, which restrain the body refining cultivation, it can be said that copper skin and iron bones have an advantage over most cultivators.

    "An inferior sorcerer, without the help of special incantations or magical spells, can at most reach the strength of Lin Feiyun using the Zhiwei An, which is to say, their magic can instantly destroy an area within about a hundred meters. But for a medium-level sorcerer, it's different; their magical power increases exponentially. The strongest among medium-level sorcerers, when fully exerting their power, is said to be able to destroy everything within a range of tens of miles."

    Chen Yun secretly recalled the power of various Dan Dao levels when they fully unleashed their power. "If it's an upper-level sorcerer, normally relying on their own strength, it is said that they can destroy areas around hundreds of li. As for Yin Wuji, although he previously showed that he can send sounds over thousands of li and vibrate an area of tens of li, he should be in the early stage of upper-level sorcerers. The reason why he can send sounds so far is because he practices Yin God, and the range his divine consciousness can transmit is wider than that of true qi. In fact, the range that can be destroyed may only be around one or two hundred li."

    This can be distinguished from the fact that sending sound over a thousand li can cause vibrations in an area of tens of li.

    If Yin Wuji truly had the terrifying power to destroy an area of hundreds of li in range, when a sound came, it would not be a simple injury like letting Chen Yun bleed a little, but rather directly causing him to be stunned and die.

    Overall, the power of Yin God is relatively weak, but its influence is wide-ranging.

    The range of practice with true qi is not as wide as that of Yin God, but its power is greater.

    As for those practicing refinement of the body, there is no concept of a range for their magic. However, if they come close, and their opponents do not have time to cast defensive spells, even those who can compare with mid-level sorcerers in strength may be able to shatter the physical bodies of medium-level and upper-level sorcerers.

    "Now that I have reached the Mid-term Formation realm in body refinement, qi permeates my entire body, and I possess a robust physique of bronze skin and iron bones that is invulnerable to knives and bullets. As long as I can get close enough to Yin Wuji within a certain range, and prevent him from casting defensive spells in time, I may be able to explode his weak physique with my powerful punch."

    Chen Yun was well aware in his heart that the physical bodies of cultivators who refine the Yin God were very frail, perhaps not much different from those of ordinary people.

    After all, not every cultivator who refines the Yin God or Yuan Sheng has the method of refining their body with spiritual energy.

    Generally speaking, those who practice the Yin God's refinement, their physical bodies are really weak.

    People who practice internal dan are different; their physical bodies are not as strong as those who practice body refinement, but because of the uniqueness of true qi, their physical bodies are relatively stronger than normal people. However, they are still vulnerable to copper skin and iron bones.

    "That means, if I make the right tactical arrangements, I already have a chance to kill Yin Wuji, provided he doesn't use any defensive spells."

    Chen Yun secretly calculated in his heart.

    He never imagined that he had no chance of killing Yin Wuji with just one hit, now he has a possibility, just because he ate a piece of lingqi.

    The true celestial and earthroot indeed possesses the power to alter one's destiny against the heavens!

    "There are too many good things in the celestial paradise. I have only obtained one piece of lingqi so far, and I have already been greatly improved. If I find any other good treasures here, maybe by the time we leave the celestial paradise, I will have the qualifications to challenge Yin Wuji."

    Of course, it's merely the qualification, but we still need to make sure of the strategy.

    In any case, Chen Yun finally saw a glimmer of hope to defeat the opponent, rather than running away at first sight.

    Alright, let's keep searching for more celestial and earthroots or legendary "magical treasures" in the celestial paradise.

    There is a fundamental difference between a law tool and a magical treasure.

    A law tool is artificially crafted.

    However, magical treasures are powerful treasures that are born from the nurturing of innate Dao Qi.

    Of course, it does not mean that the power of a law tool is necessarily weaker than that of a magical treasure.

    In fact, some powerful cultivators' law tools are no less powerful than magical treasures, and even exceed them in power.

    However, there is one characteristic of magical treasures that law tools can never match.

    That is, magical treasures are treasures born from the nurturing of Dao Qi, and generally contain the power of heaven and earth rules.

    It is also possible for magical treasures to be born in the mortal world, but the probability is relatively low.

    However, the celestial paradise is different. Because the celestial paradise itself has "qi" that is far superior to the outside world, it has a greater probability of nurturing magical treasures.

    Chen Yun has not yet seen a magical treasure in this small celestial paradise, but he believes there must be one.

    After pondering for a moment, he no longer wasted time. He stood up and walked forward slowly, while also communicating with the two divine generals, Qin Liang and Ji Xin, inside the condensation bead.

    "When you see any strange things on either side of the road, remember to remind me in time."

    Chen Yun scanned the surroundings with his eyes and said.

    Qin Liang immediately replied, "Yes, Lord."

    Ji Xin was rather puzzled and asked, "Master, this place is a celestial paradise where countless divine roots and powerful treasures are born. Why do you only search for them in the small paths on both sides?"

    Indeed, if we venture deeper into other areas, the possibility of obtaining celestial and earthroots, as well as powerful treasures, will be greater.

    Why would one only rely on luck by searching only along the narrow paths?

    Chen Yun had his own reasons. "Firstly, Lu Zhisao teacher only gave me one direction to leave here. If I venture deeper into other places, I might get lost, and secondly, celestial paradise is usually governed by realms and cultivation realms. According to my memory, this place is called Xur Ling Cave Heaven and is governed by Tang Lan Zhenren. If any treasures are born in the realm governed by a true person like him, they would not want others to obtain them. What good would searching here do?"

    Ji Xin suddenly understood and said, "Lord, you mean that the lingqi we previously obtained was intentionally given to you by Tang Lan Zhenren?"

    Chen Yun shook his head and said, "No, it's not that. It's just that what he doesn't want me to get has been deliberately concealed. The things he doesn't mind have been within my sight. Whether I can obtain them still depends on whether I have the meritorious cause."

    This can be seen from the flying snake that guarded the lingqi earlier.

    If Chen Yun had not possessed a divine general or divine commander, he would not have been able to obtain the lingqi.

    Conversely, if an ordinary person stumbled into the celestial paradise and had deep blessings, they might encounter a fairy herb guarded by no beast and immediately ascend to immortality right there.

    That is what is called the opportunity.

    Chen Yun felt that he was not just destined.

    Why so?

    Because there are many celestial paradise such as the Teng Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain, but I have not been able to enter any of them.

    This time, I was pursued and was indicated to enter the celestial paradise by an old fairy?

    There's no such thing as luck that good in the world.

    It is very likely that it was arranged by the teacher.

    Chen Yun immediately figured things out.

    If it truly was arranged by his mentor, then perhaps everything he could obtain in the celestial paradise, such as celestial and earthroots or treasures, had already been set up by his mentor, waiting for him to discover and take them.

    Of course, his mentor would definitely not let him obtain the treasure so easily.

    This can be seen from the fact that when he took him to meet Master Zhang previously, he wanted him to eat three pieces of fire dates. He had to come up with a way by himself.

    The mentor's teaching is that in order to reap, one must first give.

    So Chen Yun believes that even if he encounters any treasures he can obtain in the future, he will have to pay or strive for them.

    Thinking over, he walked for three li.

    Suddenly, Qin Liang's voice rang out, "Master, look at the green pearl that's round and plump next to the stone statue on the roadside."

    "Let me take a look."

    Chen Yun looked in the direction Qin Liang had mentioned.

    There was a three-foot-high stone statue of a woman with a dragon's tail about one hundred meters away. Beside it flowed a clear spring, and above the spring floated a green gem.

    This gemstone emitted a green glow, as if it was suppressing the spring water from overflowing.

    Chen Yun glanced at it once and knew that this was a magical treasure, and it was very likely related to water.

    "Could it be the Water Retaining Pearl?"

    Legends say that the heavens have given birth to many treasures that can stabilize the earth's wind, water, and fire.

    Such as the Sea Containing Pearl, Wind Stabilizing Pearl, and Fire Stabilizing Pearl, etc.

    At a glance, these treasures seem to have single functions, nothing more than sea stabilization, wind stabilization, or fire stabilization, and so on.

    However, at certain special times, such special magical treasures can exhibit incredibly powerful effects.

    For example, if Chen Yun could possess a Water Retaining Pearl such as this treasure, in the future he could easily immobilize a cultivator specializing in "water laws" with it, rendering the other party's strength half useless.

    Chen Yun blinked his eyes and said, "It seems to be a true magical treasure."

    Ji Xin said in a commanding voice, "Should we have our brothers try to approach it?"

    "I'm not sure what kind of spirit beast guards the Water Retaining Pearl. Approaching it recklessly might result in loss of life among our brothers," Chen Yun pondered for a moment. "I'll try casting a distance spell to test it first. You two keep a close watch and see what kind of spirit beast is guarding it."

    "Alright."

    "Good."

    Qin Liang and Ji Xin agreed.

    Chen Yun took out the Crimson Golden Slashing Demon Sword, walked a few more steps forward, and then performed a Fireball spell at a distance.

    Whoosh! A fireball the size of a caldron suddenly appeared, zooming towards the Water Retaining Pearl.

    The next moment, a flash of golden scales in the spring extinguished the fireball instantly.

    Indeed, there is a spirit beast guarding here.

    However, Chen Yun didn't look at it closely. "Did you guys see clearly what kind of spirit beast it is?"

    Qin Liang immediately replied, "Although we couldn't see it clearly, just now the golden scales flashed, and it seems to be an exotic fish spirit beast, such as the King of Golden Scale Carp."

    Chen Yun couldn't help but recall the demon king who had helped him catch Zhang Liang earlier. "Can you guys estimate its strength?"

    Ji Xin spoke with a serious tone, "It's not easy to judge, but from the situation just now, this spirit beast is extremely powerful and adept at manipulating water. If Master has the strength of a medium-level wizard and is proficient in earth-based magic, perhaps there might be a chance for a fight. We brothers are not good at water combat and probably can't be of much help."

    Only if I am a medium-level wizard and proficient in water-repelling earth-based magic, could I possibly defeat it?

    Chen Yun thought for a while and decided that it would be better to avoid confronting it.

    His own cultivation level, achieved through refining his essence and strengthening his body, is equivalent to that of a medium-level wizard.

    But I am not good at water combat either. Who knows what kind of dangers I might encounter if I were to fight in the spring?

    Moreover, the Water Retaining Pearl may be very powerful, but its limitations are quite significant. It doesn't really matter whether we have it or not.

    Since the chance of obtaining it is slim, Chen Yun is not prepared to fight to the death.

    However, it was because of seeing the Water Retaining Pearl that he realized something.

    There are indeed magical treasures within the celestial paradise, in addition to celestial and earthroots!

    What does this mean?

    This means that as long as we encounter a spirit beast that we have a chance of defeating, we may be able to obtain our first magical treasure in life!

    Magical treasures may not be as powerful as some powerful artifacts, but regardless, they are treasures that contain Dao Qi.

    If he could obtain one, it might be of great help in defeating Yin Wuji.

    Chen Yun decided that he would do whatever it takes to obtain a magical treasure from Xu Ling Cave Heaven.
