The Seven-Spirit Chain was a defensive Artifact. It could summon seven light shields to protect its wielder. It was similar to the Three Tiger Head Jade Hairpins that Xu Xing had obtained earlier. The Seven-Spirit Chain could be activated using Magic Power, Vital Energy and Blood, or Divine Soul Power.
Xu Xing then left the Third Palace and, in another Palace, came across a Bronze Lotus Lamp. The Prohibitions on this Bronze Lotus Lamp were several times more complex than those on the Seven-Spirit Chain.
It must be an ultimate Treasure!
With Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun not by his side, Xu Xing no longer restrained his methods. He retrieved various Array Eyes stored in his Storage Bag, established layers of array techniques, and began to wear down the Prohibitions on the Bronze Lotus Lamp.
After five days, only ten percent of the Prohibitions on the lamp were broken.
Sixteen days later, sixty percent of the Prohibitions were broken.
There are less than three days left...
Xu Xing frowned, unsure of the best course of action. Merely observing the Prohibitions on this Bronze Lotus Lamp, he could discern its value. The layered array techniques he had established, with their cumulative offensive power, were already comparable to a Returning Core Realm Cultivator continuously bombarding it for a month. The Returning Core Realm mentioned here was not the false Returning Core Realm of figures like the East Sea Dragon King and King Li Hong of Chu. It referred to a true Returning Core Realm Cultivator from the Main World.
This Bronze Lotus Lamp was initially perfectly sealed. It’s impossible that in nearly a thousand years, no one discovered this lamp and attempted to break its Prohibitions. There can only be one explanation: the Prohibitions on these Treasures regenerate over time. The next entry into Moyun Palace will genuinely be One hundred years from now...
Xu Xing weighed the pros and cons. In One hundred years, his cultivation would undoubtedly be far stronger than it was Today, and breaking the Prohibitions on the Bronze Lotus Lamp should not be difficult. Moreover, this Bronze Lotus Lamp was still in the Lake Heart Palace.
However, due to the nature of teleportation within the Inner Three Palaces, he wasn’t guaranteed to return to the Lake Heart Palace next time; he might end up in a different Palace. Of course, the other two Palaces should also contain Treasures comparable to the Bronze Lotus Lamp, yet unclaimed by others.
If I pay the price and use my Essence Blood to power the array techniques... I should be able to break the remaining forty percent of the Prohibitions within three days. My only concern is King Li Hong of Chu. Once I leave Moyun Palace, it will be an excellent opportunity to eliminate him...
He was somewhat indecisive. With the Seven-Spirit Chain, I should be safe from King Li Hong of Chu. However, King Li Hong of Chu is a major threat to me and the Three Great Demon Immortals. If we could kill him, it would be best to encircle and eliminate him as soon as possible.
That’s right, King Li Hong of Chu is wearing a suit of Gold Armor. The spiritual aura of this Gold Armor seems even stronger than my Seven-Spirit Chain. Wanting to kill King Li Hong of Chu by relying solely on array techniques and the Three Great Demon Immortals probably won’t be easy.
Xu Xing suddenly recalled this. Upon entering Moyun Palace, he and the Three Great Demon Immortals had all noticed the Gold Armor King Li Hong of Chu wore. Undoubtedly, this Gold Armor possessed incredible defensive power.
Such an opportunity must not be missed, for it will not come again. The East Sea Dragon King is dead. Although King Li Hong of Chu is powerful, he is not a Ghost Immortal; he’ll have trouble chasing down the Three Great Demon Immortals. Now that our main enemy is dead, the Three Great Demon Immortals probably won’t cooperate with me wholeheartedly.
After long deliberation, Xu Xing resolved to acquire the Bronze Lotus Lamp first. With a complete Immortal Path Cultivation Method from the Main World, he could outlive King Li Hong of Chu simply by extending his lifespan. Furthermore, with the Concealing Breath Array to hide his presence, it would be incredibly difficult for King Li Hong of Chu to track him down. His aptitude and methods surpassed King Li Hong of Chu’s; he could afford to wait for an opportune moment to eliminate him later.
Having made his decision, Xu Xing did not hesitate. With his right hand, he tapped several major acupoints on his body and spat out mouthfuls of Essence Blood, dousing the layers of array techniques established around the Bronze Lotus Lamp. His face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any blood. Fueled by the Essence Blood, the array formations instantly blazed with intense light, their power magnified.
The remaining Prohibitions on the Bronze Lotus Lamp were broken with extreme speed. In just one hour, another ten percent of the Prohibitions were shattered, leaving only thirty percent remaining.
After this, however, Xu Xing no longer dared to recklessly expend so much of his precious Essence Blood. Instead, he meticulously controlled the pace, slowly wearing down the few remaining Prohibitions on the Bronze Lotus Lamp.
As the final three days slowly drew to a close, a sharp CRACK echoed as the Prohibitions veiling the Bronze Lotus Lamp finally shattered.
Ancient Mysterious Treasure—Crane Spirit Immortal Lamp!
Similar to when he had obtained the Seven-Spirit Chain, information about this lotus lamp—its name, the refinement incantation for the Crane Spirit Immortal Lamp, and an explanation of its functions—materialized in Xu Xing’s mind.
What a Treasure! What an incredible Treasure! With this lamp, I have a chance to reach the Late Immortal Base Stage, and I can finally venture into the Hangu Mountain Secret Realm!
Learning the Crane Spirit Immortal Lamp’s function, even with his profound self-cultivation, Xu Xing couldn’t suppress the elation that lit up his features, a broad smile spreading across his face.
The Crane Spirit Immortal Lamp had only one function: once its oil was lit, it could temporarily enhance the user’s comprehension.
Magic Power was relatively easy to accumulate, but elevating one’s Realm was difficult. Even for Innate Immortal Geniuses, advancing from the Immortal Base Early Stage to the Late Immortal Base Stage required at least several decades. For Immortal Geniuses in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, the typical cultivation time was around one hundred and fifty years. Ordinary disciples, such as Fengping Valley, might take nearly four hundred years to reach the Ninefold Immortal Base.
It wasn’t that these Immortal Geniuses lacked Pills to increase their Magic Power. Rather, each advancement in Realm required corresponding enlightenment to solidify one’s foundation. Otherwise, it would be like a pavilion in the clouds, fragile and easily shattered.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over him again. Xu Xing found himself ejected from the Lake Heart Palace, reappearing in the outer region of Moyun Palace.
In the outer region of Moyun Palace, one could use special methods to seal oneself and temporarily remain. This was how Kou Chun had imprisoned Shi Yuyan in this place. However, most chose to leave Moyun Palace.
