Taijiquan purple-thread treasure armor can be used directly by oneself?
Standing on the branch above, Chen Yun could not help but freeze slightly under the starry sky.
He originally thought that this treasure armor would be like the five-color glazed pagoda, requiring him to cultivate "mutual understanding" himself until it was completely "close", then he could use it.
Who would have thought that he had only poured the true qi accompanied by the soul consciousness, and the treasure armor of purple band automatically put on.
After the Purple Girdle Treasure Armor automatically donned itself, Chen Yun immediately received a command message from it, as if with just a thought, he could release a misty purple aura and a five-color misty glow to protect himself.
He had never tried it before, so he was unsure about the authenticity of this message.
Without any hesitation, Chen Yun immediately summoned the purple-band treasure armor.
The next moment, he felt his spiritual awareness being continuously drained.
At the same time, the purple-band treasure armor's five-color radiance was suddenly brilliant and dazzling, almost illuminating the entire night sky.
And it was continuously spraying out strands of purple mist that turned into a misty aura, surrounding itself.
Two layers of protection.
Five-color radiance is a layer of protection.
Purple mist is another layer of protection.
Chen Yun carefully felt it and realized that the two protections were not in the first and second layer hierarchy, but were listed as a single protection. The five-color radiance was used to ward off magical attacks, while the purple mist was used to repel physical attacks.
When combined, they can almost achieve invincibility to true knives and swords, as well as fire and water.
He still can't judge the strength of the defense of the Purple Girdle Treasure Armor.
One thing is certain, it is definitely stronger than his own physical body.
This was actually roughly figured out by Chen Yun when he was facing the Ghost Commander in Liliuzhou.
Thinking back then, he led three hundred divine soldiers and commanders, over two thousand yin soldiers and commanders, and a force comparable to high-level magic practitioners, still couldn't break through the armor's defenses.
It can be imagined that the defense power of this treasure armor is indeed terrifying.
"What I can know now is that, with this treasure armor worn, even high-level magic practitioners cannot penetrate the defenses."
Chen Yun secretly pondered, "As for the level of master and true man, whether they can break through the defense is still unknown."
In this way, his defense power increased greatly, and even if he faced high-level magic practitioners, he would not be afraid of being killed!
This was definitely something worth celebrating for himself.
"The book of changes says: The way of the universe has fifty, heaven has developed forty-nine, and humans have escaped one."
Chen Yun's thoughts whirled rapidly, "This means that the laws of operation and development of things between heaven and earth total fifty, but only forty-nine can be derived. The one that has been avoided is called the celestial mystery. In actual life, the celestial mystery is actually all around us; it's just that it appears less frequently and is not easily noticed, which makes people feel that the celestial mystery is hard to find."
Even the Great Dao cannot achieve an "unforgettable" state of supreme perfection.
The Purple-band Treasure Armor, although a supreme artifact, cannot reach perfection either.
Its defensive power is extremely strong.
However, there is always a drawback.
That is, the Purple-band Treasure Armor cannot withstand attacks from spiritual awareness.
"It's regrettable to have defects, but in this world, where is there truly perfect?"
Chen Yun did not feel regretful about it.
On the contrary, he felt that it was in line with the laws of nature.
In the future, when encountering cultivators with powerful spiritual energies, one must be more cautious.
Chen Yun secretly recorded this information.
Moreover, he found that the Purple-band Treasure Armor consumes not qi, but spirit consciousness when driven, and it's the consciousness of the original spirit.
His current original spirit has not been trained and cannot withstand excessive consumption.
Chen Yun estimated, "My current spirit consciousness can only drive the Purple-band Treasure Armor for five minutes at most. If it goes beyond this time, it will become exhausted."
In addition, although the Purple-band Treasure Armor consumes spirit consciousness, Chen Yun still needs to rely on qi to inject spirit consciousness into the treasure armor at this stage.
That means that when driving this treasure armor, both his true qi and spirit consciousness will be heavily consumed.
"That's why the Ghost Commander didn't use the Purple-band Treasure Armor to defend himself all the time, only using it when necessary."
Chen Yun finally understood why, as it turns out that the consumption was too great.
"I remember that the Ghost Commander seemed to have used the Purple-band Treasure Armor to save his subordinates."
He secretly guessed whether the five-color radiance and purple mist in the Purple-band Treasure Armor could be projected externally.
Thoughts led to action.
Chen Yun once again stirred his spirit consciousness and true qi to inject into the treasure armor, and with a thought in mind.
In the next second, the five-color radiance and purple mist in the treasure armor split into a beam and shot forward.
It can!
Indeed, it can be projected externally!
Chen Yun could not help but be overjoyed.
In this way, the value of this treasure armor has become very high.
This is not just about protecting oneself, but also about group protection.
After testing it for nearly half an hour, Chen Yun felt that his spirit consciousness was exhausted and stopped trying gradually.
He still had the last discovery lingering in his mind: "Although the Purple-band Treasure Armor does not require 'mutual understanding' to be used, it is actually the same as the Five-Color Glazed Pagoda. It still needs to go through a rite of refinement. In the future, when battling others, it will not be taken away."
Chen Yun made a judgment, estimating that the time required to cultivate "mutual understanding" with the Purple-band Treasure Armor should be roughly similar to that of the Five-Color Glazed Pagoda.
After a hundred days, he should be able to fully master the Purple-band Treasure Armor and the Five-Color Glazed Pagoda.
At that time, he would have two artifacts to command, respectively the Purple-band Treasure Armor and the Five-Color Glazed Pagoda!
He calculated the time.
At that time, he would be roughly at the same time as Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming among others, reaching the "River Moon Spring".
Perhaps when dealing with the dragon, the two artifacts could play a miraculous role.
The time for the shift change was nearing.
Chen Yun put away the two artifacts.
He checked the progress of refining essence and qi by swallowing wolf stomach soup and liangjinghuaqi soup for half a night.
The growth rate of his true qi had significantly slowed down.
In half a night's time, the increase was only about one percent.
If this rate is extrapolated, the night's increase would not exceed fifty percent.
"It seems that even if I refine all the remaining essence to qi soup, it may not be enough to break through to the middle stage of the upper-level magician, possibly still falling short by a little."
Chen Yun felt that after the completion of all the essence to qi soup, he may really need to refine the blood of water snakes and the meat of centipedes.
That would definitely ensure his breakthrough to the middle stage of the upper-level magician.
As for whether I can break through to the late stage of the upper-level magician, that is not yet certain.
At least one thing can be certain, breaking through to a high-level magic practitioner is out of the question.
"It's necessary to look for the missing herbs for the high-grade essence to qi soup."
Chen Yun became even more determined on his goal and turned around to fly towards the campsite, preparing to rest.
……
Time passed day by day.
It has been more than three or four months since Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu, and Qin Ming fought against Lv City.
During this period, they traveled in the direction of River Moon Spring.
Along the way, they encountered some setbacks, but the impact was not significant.
Almost without Chen Yun's involvement, Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and others dealt with the troubles.
During this period, Qin Ming, relying on the Breathing Art Chen Yun imparted, not only restored to his peak strength but also broke through to the middle stage of the upper-level magician, becoming the second strongest true warrior in the team after Chen Yun.
On the other hand, Wu Kejiu, who was previously a little stronger than Qin Ming in cultivation, has made no progress at all.
At this time, the others realized how magical the exercises of the True Origin Sect are.
From then on, not only Wu Kejiu, the upper-level magician, but also Longnv Sanjie, Gao Chen and Ding Xu, as well as all the medium-level magicians, have become even more attached to Chen Yun than before.
Of course, with Qin Ming's increased strength and Chen Yun having "add-ons," Chen Yun was not far behind.
With the help of wolf stomach soup, he completely refined the remaining medium-grade liangjinghuaqi soup and significantly improved his cultivation, becoming very close to the middle stage of the upper-level magician. It was only one step away.
During this period, Chen Yun also used the Hongyingshankuang he got from Lü City to fill the thin point in his strength control caused by his quick cultivation enhancement.
Now, his control over strength is not as refined as mastery, but at least he can use it freely, and it can bring out a stronger combat power than before.
However, neither his cultivation enhancement nor the improvement in his command of strength was the thing that made Chen Yun the happiest.
What made Chen Yun the happiest was that after so much time spent cultivating a sense of unity with the Taiji Purple-banded Treasure Armor and the Five-Color Glazed Pagoda, he had finally fully mastered them.
Regrettably, along the way, Chen Yun never encountered an opponent worthy of his own hands, so he could never figure out the true power of these two treasures, just how strong they really were.
However, he knew that soon, he was very likely to understand the power of these two artifacts.
Because today, Chen Yun and Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and others had reached the River Moon Spring.
At this time, everyone was suspended in mid-air.
Wu Kejiu pointed to the boundless ocean ahead and said, "That's where the River Moon Spring is."
"Is this really the River Moon Spring?"
"Why does it not seem to be a spring to me, but rather a boundless ocean?"
"And those two towering stone images standing tall in the midst of the ocean, are they not the predecessors who killed the dragon that swallowed the sun and moon?"
Zhang Ling, Sun Yan, and the other cultivators who had never been here before acted like curious babies and kept asking the elders in their team.
Chen Yun did not ask this and that like the others; instead, he carefully observed the surroundings.
As some people said, although it is the River Moon Spring, what he saw was a boundless ocean in reality.
In this seemingly endless ocean, besides the towering stone images of a man and a woman, there seemed to be many islands.
Of course, the most striking feature was a massive mountain reaching directly into the heavens in the distance.
Although Chen Yun is already at the mid-stage of the upper-level magician, even with his utmost focus, he cannot see the specific appearance of this mountain, which is very far away from here.
The only thing he can tell is that the mountain is surrounded by clouds.
While Chen Yun was observing,
Qin Ming said in a serious tone, "The River Moon Spring is not as peaceful as the Lalu Island. This place is full of dangers. Various fierce beasts often appear here, and you must be extra careful."
Chen Yun finally came to his senses, "Are there many powerful beasts?"
"Yes," Wu Kejiu said, taking a deep breath, "Here, you might even encounter powerful beasts that can compare to the strength of a true person."
Sun Yan's face turned pale, "Ah? Spirits comparable to true people? How can we possibly be a match for them?"
"Haha, there's no need to worry," Longnv Sanjiu laughed and explained, "The beasts here are different from those elsewhere. They all have their own territories. As long as we don't intrude uninvited, we should be mostly safe. Besides, risk and opportunity coexist. Although there are countless powerful beasts here, almost every place with powerful beasts also has the potential for powerful artifacts or magical natural roots."
