Chapter 507: Immortal Artifact Nine Suns Thunder Roar Shield, Promoting to Tenth-Grade Book Gu, Wealth
"This time, I've truly struck it rich."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists, feeling very joyful.
Originally, he thought he might not necessarily gain much of a harvest this time, but he had still underestimated the accumulated wealth of the True Spirit Xie Zhi over many years, which simply could not be compared to that of ordinary True Immortals.
Even if placed within the Immortal World, its wealth would be no less than that of the direct descendants of those great families.
Without a doubt, this bottle contained three Immortal Pills, and they were the famous Green Lotus Immortal Pills.
One must know, these are among the most prestigious Immortal Pills for True Immortals.
Consuming a single Green Lotus Immortal Pill is enough to save a True Immortal a vast amount of cultivation time.
Who knows how many True Immortals wish to obtain a Green Lotus Immortal Pill.
Yet, such a first-grade Immortal Pill is simply too expensive; an ordinary True Immortal would need to exhaust their entire family fortune just to afford one.
Originally, he had also wanted to find many Immortal Medicine seeds, then cultivate a large amount of Immortal Medicine, and finally refine Green Lotus Immortal Pills.
Who could have imagined that he would actually find three Green Lotus Immortal Pills on the True Spirit Xie Zhi.
This was simply an unexpected joy.
He could not even describe the feelings deep within his heart at this very moment.
It could only be said that one searches everywhere for something, only to find it without any effort at all.
"These three Immortal Pills should be a gift from the Immortal World."
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.
In fact, the Dream World had previously devoured part of the True Spirit Qiong Qi's soul and obtained some of Qiong Qi's memories, so it was also very normal for him to know that the True Spirit Xie Zhi possessed Immortal Pills.
One must know, the True Spirit Alliance is one of the five super-powers of the Immortal World.
Because the number of True Spirits is scarce, every ancient True Spirit is incomparably wealthy.
Basically, young True Spirits can receive sufficient cultivation.
It can be said that they lack no cultivation resources at all.
And as for the ancient True Spirits remaining in the Spirit World, they naturally also receive support from the True Spirit Alliance in the Immortal World.
After all, as these ancient True Spirits act as Guardians, if they remain in the Spirit World, their cultivation can hardly make any progress.
This is also an unfair matter for them.
Because even True Spirits, like ordinary life forms, have a limit to their longevity.
If their cultivation does not improve, they will also exhaust their longevity and die.
No True Spirit is willing to remain in the Mortal World to waste time and squander their youth.
It is precisely because of this that the True Spirit Alliance of the Immortal World, in order to reward these True Spirit Guardians, sends down a large amount of cultivation resources from the Immortal World, such as Immortal Pills, Immortal Medicine, and so on.
Therefore, even if these ancient True Spirits have not ascended to the Immortal World, they can still obtain cultivation resources from the Immortal World, which also leads to their cultivation speed being in no way inferior to Cultivators who have ascended to the Immortal World.
That is why they can continue to cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm while in the Mortal World.
If there were no support from Immortal World resources, that would be impossible to achieve.
Thus, every True Spirit is incomparably wealthy and possesses a vast amount of cultivation resources.
"If I have these three Green Lotus Immortal Pills, I fear my cultivation will also receive an even more rapid improvement."
"It won't take long before I can raise my cultivation to the late stage of the True Immortal realm."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists, feeling very excited.
He knew that for an Immortal, the True Immortal realm is merely a foundation-building stage.
As long as there are enough resources, one can raise their cultivation to the True Immortal Perfection realm.
Many descendants of great families in the Immortal World would never waste time on improving their cultivation.
They basically consume various Immortal Pills to raise their cultivation.
Then, they spend their main time on comprehending Fazhe Wenlu, which is completely sufficient.
For an Immortal, the level of comprehension of Fazhe Wenlu is the most important thing, and it is the top priority.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui temporarily placed this bottle of Immortal Pills to the side; in any case, they would not run away, and he still wanted to continue looking at what other Treasures were in the Storage Bag.
"This is the Immortal Artifact Nine Suns Thunder Roar Shield."
"I didn't expect it to actually have a defensive-type Immortal Artifact on it."
Zhou Sui was pleasantly surprised.
Immediately, he took this Immortal Artifact out of the Storage Bag; it was a crimson shield, engraved with dense crimson Fazhe Wenlu, containing the power of blazing flames and thunder.
It seemed that as long as one held this shield in their hand, they could form a powerful defensive force capable of blocking an Immortal's attacks.
It could even trigger the shield's power to rebound onto the enemy.
Without a doubt, the might of this defensive Immortal Artifact was also extraordinary.
To tell the truth, he had originally thought that the True Spirit Xie Zhi would not have an Immortal Artifact, as it hadn't taken one out before; he didn't expect it to give him a huge surprise now.
Clearly, the True Spirit Xie Zhi did not use this Immortal Artifact just now because it had not anticipated that it would lose so quickly.
In just a single instant, it was killed, not even having the chance to use the Immortal Artifact.
Without a doubt, if it had truly been able to use this Immortal Artifact, it might have been able to fight for a few more rounds.
It is a pity that there are no "ifs" in this world; it was precisely because of a moment of carelessness that it ended up forfeiting its life.
Boom~~
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui moved his mind and immediately refined this Immortal Artifact, the Nine Suns Thunder Roar Shield.
He easily comprehended the Refining Treasure Art of this Immortal Artifact.
After all, his Heart Eye Identifying Objects can identify all Dharma Treasures, including Immortal Artifacts.
So even if the Refining Treasure Art of the Immortal Artifact was extremely mysterious, it was still easily mastered by him.
This was just like a hacker invading a computer and easily obtaining the computer's password.
The next second, he activated this Immortal Artifact, the Nine Suns Thunder Roar Shield.
Instantly, a crimson energy shield emerged from the surface of this shield, creating a massive energy barrier engraved with dense Fazhe Wenlu of thunder and fire.
It seemed as if the powers of thunder and fire were intertwined, almost condensing into a physical substance.
Such a barrier is a Fazhe barrier, capable of easily mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to form a Fazhe rampart.
Even if the power of a True Immortal were to bombard it, it would be neutralized by the power of this shield.
Clearly, for the True Spirit Xie Zhi, this defensive Immortal Artifact could be said to help it compensate for its own flaws.
It is a pity that it was too confident in its own strength, and as a result, it was killed in one move by Zhou Sui.
It could not even hold out for a second move.
"This defensive-type Immortal Artifact is not bad; it can enhance defensive power."
Zhou Sui was very satisfied.
He actually had several Immortal Artifacts on him, such as the Mountain Sea Pearl, the Emperor Demon Hammer, the Slaying Immortal Flying Knife, and so on, but the vast majority of the Immortal Artifacts were of the offensive type.
Apart from the Mountain Sea Pearl, there were no defensive-type Immortal Artifacts.
Now that he had actually obtained a defensive-type Immortal Artifact, it could be considered as making up for his own shortcomings.
Although he had gestated the Dragon Elephant Dao Body and his own body was equivalent to a powerful Immortal Artifact, indestructible, it was impossible to test the defensive strength of his own body unless it was an absolute last resort.
If possible, he still wanted to use the power of an Immortal Artifact to block an enemy's attack.
In this way, even if the defense failed, it would not lead to his death and the dissipation of his Dao.
Using his own body to defend was merely a final resort.
"Wait, there is actually another Treasure."
"No way, isn't this an Immortal Technique Dao Stele?"
Zhou Sui was pleasantly surprised.
Immediately, he took out a black Dao Stele, a cube one zhang in size, from his Storage Bag.
Small clusters of flame patterns appeared on it; the lines of these flame patterns seemed to be Fazhe Wenlu, as if they were communicating with the power of the fire Fazhe between heaven and earth.
Vaguely, seeing the patterns condensed from these Fazhe Wenlu, it seemed as if endless information about the fire Fazhe was spreading over, as if at this moment he saw a sky full of fire.
It seemed that as long as he slightly activated this Dao Stele, he could release infinite flame power.
Without a doubt, an Immortal Technique was engraved on this black Dao Stele.
Previously, he had obtained the same Immortal Technique Dao Stele, named the Five Ghosts Transportation Technique.
Therefore, he was long since no stranger to Immortal Technique Dao Steles.
However, he did not expect that he would actually find a new Immortal Technique Dao Stele from the Storage Bag of a True Spirit.
It was truly inconceivable.
"As expected of a True Spirit of the Spirit World, it is truly too wealthy; it even has an Immortal Technique Dao Stele."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.
He did not know how to describe his current mood; although he had long known that True Spirits of the Spirit World were wealthy, he had not expected them to be wealthy to this extent.
The True Immortals who had descended from the nine great Immortal Worlds before were simply trash compared to the True Spirit Xie Zhi.
Those True Immortals from the Immortal World were all paupers.
How could they compare to a nouveau riche like the True Spirit Xie Zhi?
However, there was no helping it; the True Spirit Xie Zhi had the backing of the True Spirit Alliance, a great mountain, and could continuously obtain support from the True Spirit Alliance of the Immortal World.
Therefore, it could naturally obtain a large amount of cultivation resources.
But he had not expected that the True Spirit Xie Zhi would actually have an Immortal Technique Dao Stele on it; it was truly inconceivable.
Originally, he had not deliberately sought out an Immortal Technique Dao Stele; who could have thought that this would be a case of planting a willow tree without intention, only for it to provide shade.
"This is a primary Immortal Technique containing the fire Fazhe."
"It is named the Purgatory Fire Sea Technique."
"Once this Immortal Technique is unleashed, it will possess the power to burn mountains and boil seas."
"At the same time, it can also help an immortal comprehend the fire Fazhe."
"Although it is only a Lower Law, if one can thoroughly comprehend it, it can also greatly enhance an immortal's combat power."
"If such an Immortal Technique were placed in the Mortal World, it could be considered a divine skill, right?"
Zhou Sui clenched his fists, his heart filled with immense joy.
For him, a mere low-level Immortal Technique naturally did not count for much.
But this Immortal Technique Dao Stele could become food for the Book Gu.
After all, the current Book Gu no longer cared for ordinary knowledge; only an Immortal Technique Dao Stele could allow it to continue evolving.
Therefore, the Book Gu was now incredibly eager to devour the Immortal Technique Dao Stele.
These Immortal Technique Dao Steles were all ladders helping the Book Gu to climb upward, and could be said to be of great importance.
"As I expected."
"Although it is almost impossible for an Immortal Technique Dao Stele to exist in the Mortal World."
"Every Immortal Technique Dao Stele comes from the Immortal World and was created by a Great Ability of the Immortal World."
"But after the passage of long years and repeated wars, there are always some Immortal Technique Dao Steles that flow from the Immortal World to the Mortal World, and are thus obtained by some lucky individuals."
"The previous True Spirit Qiong Qi, and now the True Spirit Xie Zhi, were also incredibly lucky to have obtained an Immortal Technique Dao Stele."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists.
Although every True Spirit has its own Life-Bound Immortal Art, if possible, who would not hope to master more Immortal Techniques and grasp more powerful strength?
Therefore, even for True Spirits, they yearn to obtain more Immortal Technique Dao Steles and master more Immortal Techniques.
As a True Spirit, one can indeed rely on one's own bloodline talent to ascend to an extremely powerful realm.
However, if one wishes to go further, talent alone is completely insufficient; it also requires comprehension and incomparable effort.
One must know that there are many True Spirits in the Immortal World, but not every True Spirit can become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even an existence of a higher realm.
For many True Spirits, reaching the Heavenly Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, or even Golden Immortal realm is actually their limit.
Because their talent only supports them up to that realm; as for higher realms, that can only rely on their own effort and fortuitous encounters.
"Perhaps next I need to use the power of the Object Seeking Gu to find the ownerless Immortal Technique Dao Steles one by one."
"I could even snatch Immortal Technique Dao Steles from other factions."
Zhou Sui pondered his next plan.
Swoosh!
Just at this moment, the Book Gu immediately emerged from his body. Already at the Ninth Rank high-grade realm, its body was only the size of a palm, yet patterns of books appeared on it, as if it contained infinite books and countless knowledge within its body, and it emitted a faint wisdom and spirituality.
It looked at the Immortal Technique Dao Stele before it with incomparable longing, as if it could not wait to devour this Dao Stele.
As a Book Gu, it had an incomparable longing for unknown knowledge.
Once it discovered unknown knowledge, it was almost unable to suppress the impulse in its heart; it was just like a moth to a flame.
"Eat it."
Zhou Sui sensed the longing deep within the Book Gu's heart and immediately smiled. In any case, this Immortal Technique Dao Stele was food for the Book Gu, so it was nothing to eat it now.
Swoosh!
Having received Zhou Sui's permission, the Book Gu was incomparably excited; it pounced up in an instant and devoured this Immortal Technique Dao Stele in one bite.
No, it could not be called devouring; it should be assimilation.
In the blink of an eye, this Immortal Technique Dao Stele, Purgatory Fire Sea Technique, was instantly branded within the Book Gu's body.
At this moment, a second Immortal Technique Dao Stele also appeared within the Book Gu's body.
Rumble~~~
Suddenly, Zhou Sui sensed that a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change had occurred within the Book Gu's body; it seemed that by obtaining this Immortal Technique Dao Stele, the Book Gu's quantitative change had produced a qualitative change.
Infinite law information was mastered by the Book Gu.
This also caused the power within the Book Gu to increase by a geometric progression.
Tenth Rank low-grade!
In an instant, Zhou Sui immediately saw dense patterns of wisdom laws and causality appearing on the Book Gu's body, seemingly covering every corner from head to toe.
The Book World space within its body had expanded by more than a hundred times compared to before.
Now the Book Gu could contain even more knowledge.
Of course, for the Book Gu, the most important thing was not the smelting of knowledge, but the improvement of wisdom.
The two Immortal Techniques on its body, Six Lines Divination and Great Wisdom Art, had both received astonishing increases.
Compared to before, they had improved by at least several times.
"Wait, a Tenth Rank Book Gu can actually sense the existence of other Immortal Technique Dao Steles?!"
Suddenly, Zhou Sui was pleasantly surprised. He communicated with the Book Gu's power and immediately discovered that the Book Gu's perception power had almost received an infinite improvement, merging into the depths of the Void and continuously expanding outward.
Immediately, the entire Book Gu's perception power enveloped the entire Spirit World.
He was shocked to discover that golden light spots had appeared in various places throughout the Spirit World.
Each golden light spot represented an Immortal Technique Dao Stele.
"There are a total of two hundred and thirty-six Immortal Technique Dao Steles in the entire Spirit World."
"A portion of them are mastered by certain factions, but the remaining portion are ownerless objects."
"They are buried deep in the earth of the Spirit World and have never been found by anyone."
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes, and he felt incomparably excited.
Originally, he had wanted to borrow the power of the Object Seeking Gu to find the Immortal Technique Dao Steles.
Now it seemed there was no need for such trouble.
Relying on the power of the Tenth Rank Book Gu, he could also find the Immortal Technique Dao Steles scattered across the Spirit World.
Because knowledge and knowledge can produce attraction, and even resonance.
For the Book Gu, every piece of knowledge was a delicacy, emitting a delicious aura.
It was simply enough to make it drool.
Therefore, after advancing to the Tenth Rank realm, its perception of knowledge had received a huge improvement.
Now it could already envelop the entire Great Thousand World.
As long as it arrived at a certain Great Thousand World, it could instantly discern the infinite knowledge of this Great Thousand World.
It knew where this precious knowledge was hidden.
"If these Immortal Technique Dao Steles could all be found and devoured by the Book Gu, I fear the Book Gu's power would increase to an unimaginable level."
"And if there are so many Immortal Technique Dao Steles in the Spirit World alone, then would there be even more Immortal Technique Dao Steles in other Great Thousand Worlds, such as the Earth Immortal World, the Prison Demon World, and so on?"
"If all these Immortal Technique Dao Steles were looted, then the foundation of the entire Xuanhuang Sect might exceed that of Daluo Sects, exceeding the accumulation of those Daluo Sects over hundreds of billions of years."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists.
Sure enough, for him, the Mortal World was simply a huge treasure land.
There were still many, many Treasures waiting for him to excavate.
Ascending to the Immortal World so quickly would be truly too foolish.
Although he was timid in the Immortal World, he could strike with heavy fists in the Mortal World.
Even if these Immortal Technique Dao Steles might be hidden in the hands of other factions, he could still take action to snatch them.
In any case, these Immortal Technique Dao Steles belong to those who are capable.
"The power of the two Immortal Techniques, Six Lines Divination and Great Wisdom Art, has also received no small improvement."
Zhou Sui sensed that the power of these two Immortal Techniques was clearly extraordinary as well.
There is no need to mention the Great Wisdom Art; it can enhance the wisdom he possesses and absorb the wisdom light of all living beings.
After advancing to the tenth rank, it can swallow even more wisdom light.
At the same time, it can also extend the duration of the Great Wisdom Art, increasing it by at least tenfold.
Next is the Immortal Technique of Six Lines Divination; through this technique, one can divine the past and know the future.
Most importantly, it can deduce all kinds of cultivation methods.
To be honest, it is only by relying on the power of this Immortal Technique that the Book Gu can deduce tens of thousands of True Immortal Cultivation Methods internally.
If it continues to evolve like this, it might be able to deduce a divine ability to the level of an Immortal Technique.
But to achieve this, it is estimated that it will take a long time.
Boom~~
In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed the knowledge of this Immortal Technique Dao Stele sinking into the depths of his consciousness sea; he realized that he had thoroughly mastered this Purgatory Fire Sea Technique, reaching the Beginner level.
Clearly, when the Book Gu learns this Immortal Technique, it is equivalent to him learning it as well.
As for higher levels, it will require his diligent cultivation and practice.
However, with the assistance of the Book Gu, he feels that he will soon be able to raise this Immortal Technique to a higher level.
Another half an hour passed.
Zhou Sui also took inventory of all the Treasures inside this Storage Bag, but he did not find any more surprises.
It was nothing more than some Boundary Stones, Lower-grade Immortal Stones, Immortal Crystals, and some rare materials from the Spirit World.
Although these Treasures are also of great value, to him, they do not count for much.
At most, they can be considered icing on the cake.
However, even so, being able to obtain three Green Lotus Immortal Pills, an Immortal Artifact, and an Immortal Technique Dao Stele.
This is already an unimaginable harvest.
If these Treasures were taken to the Immortal World for auction, they would certainly sell for an astronomical price.
Of course, he would not be foolish enough to take them out for auction.
"Let's first test how the medicinal power of this Green Lotus Immortal Pill is."
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui immediately took out a Green Lotus Immortal Pill from one of the bottles.
Without a word, he swallowed this Green Lotus Immortal Pill.
Rumble~~~
The next second, this Green Lotus Immortal Pill melted upon entering his mouth, rapidly dissolving deep within his body, and then transforming into vast medicinal power.
"Why is the medicinal power so violent?"
Zhou Sui's pupils contracted, and his heart was stirred into a stormy sea.
He had also taken Eight-Rank Treasure Pills before, but those were merely Treasure Pills of the Mortal World.
He originally thought that a Ninth Rank pill, which is a First-grade Immortal Pill, would at most be one level higher than an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill.
Even if it were higher, it would not be by much.
Who could have imagined that the medicinal power of this Green Lotus Immortal Pill is more than a hundred times that of an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill.
The moment it entered his body, the medicinal power of this Immortal Pill erupted completely like a flood.
If a Great Vehicle Cultivator were to take it, it would likely easily burst the physique of a Great Vehicle Cultivator.
Only an Immortal Body can withstand such violent medicinal power.
Therefore, if a mortal wants to swallow an Immortal Pill, it is basically a dead end.
"But this is also a good thing; without such violent medicinal power, it would probably be impossible to increase the Immortal Power within the body."
Zhou Sui was very joyful.
It is no wonder that those True Spirits can make rapid progress in their cultivation even if they stay in the Mortal World.
If there is a large supply of Immortal Pills, even a pig could make rapid progress.
To a certain extent, it is actually a good thing that those True Spirits stay in the Spirit World to cultivate.
Because if there are enough resources, staying in the Mortal World to comprehend the laws is actually easier than in the Immortal World.
The pity is that after they advance to Heavenly Immortal, it is basically impossible for them to stay.
The seal on their body cannot seal the cultivation within the body either; it will inevitably be sensed by the laws of the Mortal World and instantly be repelled out.
Of course, more importantly, the resources required to continue improving the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal are even more astonishing.
Even the True Spirit Alliance is estimated to be starting to struggle a bit to support it.
If it were only to support the cultivation of True Immortals and Earth Immortals, that would barely be possible.
"But only a super organization as wealthy and powerful as the True Spirit Alliance can make it work."
"The population of the Human Race is simply too large; it is impossible to support so many Immortals."
"But the number of True Spirits is small, and their talents are astonishing, so they are actually more suitable for this kind of cultivation method."
Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, silently swallowing and digesting the medicinal power of the Green Lotus Immortal Pill.
Clearly, this single Green Lotus Immortal Pill alone is equivalent to his hard cultivation for countless years.
It is estimated that after taking these three Green Lotus Immortal Pills, his cultivation will soon be able to advance to the late stage of True Immortal.
By then, he will be able to attempt to break through to Earth Immortal.
Immediately, he plunged into cultivation.
There is no concept of time in cultivation; in the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.
End of Chapter
