Chapter 14: The Acquired Spiritual Treasure (Second Update)
Slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Zhao Zhuo clenched his fist and felt the surging power coursing through his body. The spiritual energy in his dantian was gathering at an astonishing speed, refined and purified by the rotation of yin and yang, without any impurities. Such speed was probably unprecedented and unmatched. Others might need decades to possibly break through to the Yuan Dan stage, but to Zhao Zhuo, the Yuan Dan stage seemed within reach.
He nodded at Zhao Feng and walked briskly towards a jade table in the distance, where a nine-layered small pagoda with a pale purple color was placed, emitting an ancient and desolate aura. As soon as Zhao Zhuo grasped the pale purple small pagoda in his hand, a mysterious message appeared in his mind.
When Zhao Zhuo fully received that information, even if he had just obtained the Star Chart inheritance, he couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"The Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower, a top-grade post-heavenly spiritual treasure, was taken from the primordial spiritual material in the midst of chaos, containing a complete spatial law, and can hold Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed."
Standing beside him, Zhao Feng heard Zhao Shuo's words and his face first showed a shocked expression, then seemed to be even more excited than Zhao Shuo, laughing loudly: "Good, second brother is really lucky!"
Looking at the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower in his hand, Zhao Zhuo was naturally quite excited. He hadn't expected to obtain a postnatal spiritual treasure, even if it was only of the postnatal grade. However, a postnatal spiritual treasure that contained a complete set of laws could sometimes be just as powerful as some prenatal spiritual treasures. It's worth noting that the treasures used by cultivators also had different grades. The lowest and most common were called "magic tools" or "law treasures", which were mostly self-refined by ordinary cultivators and possessed various strange abilities. Next were the "spiritual devices", but these two types were still in the tool stage and couldn't be considered as treasures.
But even more powerful magical treasures are called spiritual treasures, which can be divided into post-heavenly spiritual treasures and pre-heavenly spiritual treasures. They contain a complete or incomplete principle of law, and their power is not comparable to ordinary magical instruments or spiritual instruments. Moreover, some spiritual treasures contain principles that can assist practitioners in understanding the great way of the Tao, and even better comprehend spiritual powers. The word "treasure" is well-deserved for them.
The pagoda has nine layers, which means that if Zhao Zhuo wants to fully refine it, he needs to comprehend and control the complete spatial law contained in each layer. This requires a strong mind and opportunity to refine, far beyond what Zhao Zhuo can currently achieve.
However, Zhao Zhuo still infused his divine sense into the pagoda, comprehending the spatial laws contained within while refining the pagoda thread by thread.
The Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower can be used to store objects, but if it is used to capture living spirits, then it depends on Zhao Shuo's cultivation level. If his cultivation is sufficient to drive the treasure tower, then even temporarily suppressing other powerful beings is not impossible.
A faint murmur, a thought stirred, the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Pagoda entered Zhao Suo's body, and when it reappeared, it was already in his Dantian. The entire Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Pagoda emitted a faint purple light, slowly rotating along a mysterious trajectory, carefully avoiding the Yin-Yang Wheel of Great Millstone.
Now Zhao Zhuo's body has the Yin and Yang Wheels, the Great Grinding Disc of the Heavenly Cycle, the Violet Tower of Wish Fulfillment, the Inherited Star Chart, each occupying its position, extremely mysterious.
Realizing this, Zhao Zhuo sighed in his heart. No wonder the Lingbao was coveted by everyone, not only could it be used to defend oneself and harm enemies, but also to improve one's realm through understanding the laws contained within the Lingbao.
Steady his mind, Zhao Zhuo's gaze fell on another object on the jade table. In this stone room, he had obtained two treasures, one was a heavenly-grade star map, which was not inferior to ordinary spiritual treasures in terms of grade, and the other was a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, both of which were things that people would fight for even if they had to crack their heads open. The other objects on the jade table probably wouldn't be much worse than the first two.
On the jade table was a quaint scroll, Zhao Zhuo stretched out his hand to take the scroll in his hand, slowly unfolding it. What appeared before Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Feng was a painting scroll, only to see that on the painting scroll was a deep starry sky, with stars twinkling like life, just looking at it for a moment made Zhao Zhuo feel a shock of dizziness, as if a strong suction force emanated from the painting scroll, wanting to pull himself into the endless starry expanse.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhuo's primordial spirit suddenly opened its eyes in the vast ocean of his mind, and he felt a sudden shock to his spirit. He immediately broke free from that attractive force, and when he looked at the scroll again, it no longer had that attractive power. At the same time, a few points of information entered his mind.
The Star Map, a top-grade spiritual artifact, can draw people into the space within the Star Map. Endless stars will bombard and kill, even if one's cultivation reaches the Divine Transformation or Unity stage, it would still be extremely difficult to escape if accidentally drawn in.
Of course, like all treasures, the premise is that the master of the treasure has enough power to exert its might. If it's just a small cultivator in the tempering body period, even if you give him a magic weapon, he can at most kill yuan dan period or fa xiang period cultivators. If his magical powers are insufficient to activate the treasure, then even holding the dao rhyme treasure is useless. In short, although the treasure is powerful, it also depends on who wields it.
Looking at the treasure in his hand, Zhao Zhuo's mouth corner revealed a hint of smile, and he said to Zhao Feng beside him: "Big brother, this treasure is very good, why don't I just give it to you?"
To know that the Star Chart is a top-notch spiritual instrument, even if it's a close relative who sees it, they'll want to snatch it away. However, unexpectedly, Zhao Feng took one look at the Star Chart and shook his head, saying: "Second Brother, Big Brother has already obtained a treasure, why not just give this treasure to Little Sister instead?"
Zhao Duan was taken aback, his eyes falling on the dark-colored wristband on Zhao Feng's hand. Zhao Feng chuckled and said: "Xuan Guang Mo Yu Chui, a high-grade spiritual instrument, nourishes the heart and calms the mind, can be thrown to harm people."
"Although the grade isn't high, just being able to nourish one's spirit a bit is already not something that ordinary treasures can compare to. Big brother has obtained a good treasure indeed!"
Zhao Feng smiled straightforwardly: "I didn't expect this green jiao to be guarding so many treasures, fortunately it has just reached the stage of fa xiang, once its cultivation is stabilized and it transforms into a human, these treasures will surely fall into its hands"
Zhao Duo burst out laughing: "This is fate, heaven has let us obtain these treasures, it's just a pity that Qing Xiang died unjustly"
Hearing Zhao Zhuo say this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh along with him.
When his gaze fell on the last treasure on the jade table, Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Second brother, most of these jade slips are the cultivation methods left behind by the master of this cave, you quickly take a look"
