Chapter 369: Sword Opening Towards the Yuan Sect |
“It seems it’s not that the heavenly treasures can’t increase the charging progress, but their effect is too weak.”
“Over ten of them are needed to increase it by 1%.”
“However, with so many in front of me, I should be able to unlock another anchor point.”
Li Fan felt a bit of joy in his heart, and his hands didn’t stop moving.
Soon after, all 3,762 damaged heavenly treasures were absorbed.
The number of anchor points on Li Fan’s Truth panel increased to 4.
The progress of the anchor’s charging reverted to 0%.
“What a pity…”
As the charging progress continues to increase, the number of treasures needed is also gradually increasing.
Until the fifth anchor point was unlocked, Li Fan absorbed all the remaining damaged treasures in one go, but failed to increase the progress by even 1%.
“It seems higher-grade items are needed to unlock the fifth anchor point.” Li Fan thought to himself.
As for the items needed next, Li Fan has already made some guesses.
The heavenly treasures are the confluence of the laws of heaven and earth.
The damaged wonders, even the ordinary human wonders, can no longer satisfy Truth‘s appetite.
Therefore, it is evident that higher substitutes must be found.
Either the earthly treasures, the wonders of the heavens, or perhaps try using the golden cores condensed by cultivators.
The earthly treasures might be absorbed in the next life to see the effect.
The wonders of the heavens are too rare to consider.
Previously, Li Fan had tried to purchase some golden core fragments, but unfortunately, Truth was completely indifferent to these defective products.
Complete golden cores were simply not available in the Tianxuan Mirror.
In short, in the short term, Li Fan should not think about unlocking more anchor points.
“The fourth anchor point must be used in a critical place.”
After pondering for a while, Li Fan walked out of the secret room.
He did not immediately return to work but borrowed the Tianxuan Mirror at the stronghold first.
He searched for news about the ruins of the Chaoyuan Sect.
There weren’t many people discussing it yet, but it already had the momentum to cause a huge sensation.
Not long ago, in the ruins of the Chaoyuan Sect, which had been almost forgotten in recent years, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.
Blood rained from the sky, and the illusory figures that occasionally appeared and wandered also underwent a frightening change.
From the outside, these originally appeared as ancient people from a thousand years ago, very normal images.
In an instant, they suddenly flashed, transforming into a terrifying appearance with facial features disappearing, and blood dripping from pale faces.
It lasted only a few breaths before returning to normal.
It made people think it was an illusion.
However, attentive cultivators found that the frequency of the illusory figures’ changes was increasing.
And each time, the duration of the faceless blood faces was also increasing.
If this wasn’t alarming enough, another fact terrified the few cultivators guarding outside the Chaoyuan Sect.
The territory of the Chaoyuan Sect’s ruins seemed to be expanding outward.
The entire ruin appeared unchanged on the surface, but it seemed to be eroding the outside space unconsciously.
It’s important to know that staying within the Chaoyuan Sect’s range might result in being assimilated into a illusion.
If this eerie ruin continues to expand…
The cultivators sensed something amiss and hurriedly reported to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
To everyone’s surprise, before the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could send any cultivators, a sword light shone from within the ruins of the Chaoyuan Sect.
The entire sky seemed to be illuminated, and even the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array covering Jiushan Prefecture was faintly disturbed by this unparalleled sword light.
Ripples spread across the sky.
When the sword light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes again to find, to their astonishment, that the eerie Chaoyuan Sect ruins were gradually collapsing and fading.
In less than half a day, by the time the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance envoy arrived, the Chaoyuan Sect ruins had completely disappeared.
And two men and one woman appeared out of thin air, flying out from the depths of the ruins.
Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance envoy naturally tried to stop them and question them about the situation.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the envoy’s self-introduction, one of the men and the young girl, who looked just over ten years old, changed their expressions slightly.
Without saying a word, they turned and fled.
These two were both at the Nascent Soul stage, and their flying speed was extremely fast.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance envoy wanted to stop them but was obstructed by the remaining male cultivator.
Not knowing what he said, the envoy’s face turned extremely ugly, but he did not pursue.
The two then conversed for a while before disappearing from the sight of the surrounding cultivators.
Leaving the onlookers bewildered, and the thousand-mile swamp returning to its usual appearance.
When these people communicated with each other, they suddenly remembered.
The three cultivators who had flown out of the ruins were indeed the same three who had ventured into the Chaoyuan Sect ten years ago.
One of them was quite famous.
He was the son of the renowned Scarlet Snow Immortal Venerable, who called himself Invincible Shuo Feng.
However, compared to this person, the cultivators were more concerned about the other two whose identities were unknown.
Ten years ago, these two were merely at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Yet after a journey into the Chaoyuan Sect, they had already become Nascent Soul cultivators!
There must be great opportunities within the Chaoyuan Sect ruins!
The cultivators who had been guarding the Chaoyuan Sect for more than ten years but dared not enter, realizing this connection, all regretted it deeply and were filled with curiosity about what had happened within the ruins.
Unfortunately, the identities of those two cultivators were extremely mysterious, and no one knew who they were.
However, to be able to walk with the always aloof Shuo Feng, their identities must be extraordinary.
The cultivators speculated thus.
…
“The sword light that cut open the Chaoyuan Sect must be Shuo Feng’s divine ability.”
Recalling the seemingly ordinary wooden sword in Shuo Feng’s hand he had seen before, Li Fan thought to himself.
“It seems that not only Su Xiaomei and the others, but this Invincible also gained significantly in the ruins.”
“Unfortunately, now that they are at the Nascent Soul stage, any further tricks might be seen through.”
“Otherwise, I could have asked through ‘Senior Skull’.”
“Hmm, Xiao Heng is still at the Golden Core stage. Perhaps there’s a chance to probe him for information.”
Having temporarily resolved his doubts, Li Fan once again devoted himself to his arduous labor.
Before leaving, Li Fan habitually glanced at the Great Competition Golden List and couldn’t help but feel his eyelids twitch.
In such a short time, his ranking had dropped from ninth to fifteenth.
“Why are they working so hard?”
Li Fan shook his head slightly and called back the resting cultivators.
He resumed the high-intensity formation-building work.
A year later, in the year of anchor 36.
With the successful encirclement of countless formation units, the internal structure of the Locking Spirit Array was also completed.
Next, the most critical part, the central core area, needed to be constructed.
