Chapter 474: Wisdom is gained from experience

This woman surprised Lu Yuan greatly, for she was Su Xue Zhenren—the renowned expert who had vanished from the cultivation world for many years.

"She has actually reached the pinnacle of cultivation!"

"No wonder there is such a strong fluctuation of immortal arts." Su Liyan whispered.

Gu Qingwan furrowed her brow slightly, "It seems she may be hiding some unspeakable secret behind her."

King Qi fixed his gaze on Su Xue Zhenren's image, showing a determined look, "We must find her and uncover everything."

Although his heart was full of curiosity and surprise, Lu Yuan remained calm.

He deeply knew that the time for patience and endurance had come, and he could not reveal his discovery too early.

He directed his gaze toward the image left by Su Xue Zhenren.

In the image, Su Xue Zhenren's posture was ethereal, her gaze solemn and confused.

As if burdened with too many difficult choices and hardships, after a long while she finally gazed at the empty space in the photograph. Lu Yuan's eyes remained fixed on the image left by Su Xue Zhenren, his thoughts myriad.

Although they were astonished by her peak cultivation, they were more concerned about the secret possibly hidden behind her.

Su Xue Zhenren has always been a legend in the cultivation world; her reappearance after many years of disappearance must have an extraordinary reason.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan noticed a small, bright object in Su Xue Zhenren's image.

He slowly approached and extended his finger to lift it up.

It was a drop of purple liquid, hovering in Lu Yuan's palm and emitting a faint glow.

"What is this?" Su Liyan leaned in to look.

Gu Qingwan furrowed her brow, "I feel it is somewhat familiar."

King Qi then came close to Lu Yuan's side, his sharp eyes fixed on the drop of purple liquid, "Northern Dark Divine Liquid! This actually is Northern Dark Divine Liquid!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, shocked by the existence of Northern Dark Divine Liquid.

Northern Dark Divine Liquid is a legendary treasure said to be extremely rare and priceless, capable of dispelling the aura of death, prolonging life, cultivating immortal arts, and even catalyzing those dormant mysterious relics.

"This drop of Northern Dark Divine Liquid is related to the Firefly Ancient Tomb!" A flash of excitement crossed Lu Yuan's eyes.

Everyone stepped forward and gathered, focusing their gaze on that drop of purple liquid.

Although they had explored the Firefly Ancient Tomb somewhat, they knew very little about its secrets.

Now, with the appearance of Northern Dark Divine Liquid, it seems a certain mystery has been unveiled.

Su Liyan lightly raised her finger to touch the Northern Dark Divine Liquid, trembling slightly, "This Northern Dark Divine Liquid seems to have condensed into a solid; its power is immensely rich."

"The Firefly Ancient Tomb is one of the oldest and most mysterious tombs in heaven and earth."

Gu Qingwan's voice deep, "Legend says that countless treasures and secrets left by pre-war civilizations lie dormant there."

Lu Yuan's heart trembled, his appreciation for the importance of the Firefly Ancient Tomb to the cultivation world deepened once again.

He secretly resolved that he must find a way to enter the Firefly Ancient Tomb and uncover its greater mysteries.

"We must quickly bring this drop of Northern Dark Divine Liquid back to study its effects and energy together." King Qi made up his mind.

Lu Yuan nodded, understanding everyone's determination.

The emergence of Northern Dark Divine Liquid added a sense of mystery and anticipation to their cultivation path, while also arousing more questions and exploration.

Everyone busily prepared to leave the Silent Ice Valley; Lu Yuan took a deep breath and gazed at the drop of purple liquid in his hand.

His heart filled with curiosity and longing for the origin and function of Northern Dark Divine Liquid, he eagerly awaited further unveiling the mystery of the Firefly Ancient Tomb. Lu Yuan closed his eyes and sank into the phantom realm.

He felt his body gradually merging into this illusory world, surrounded by a mysterious and ancient aura.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast and magnificent palace.

The palace walls were made of splendid glazed tiles, and numerous sculptures and murals around displayed the wondrous scenery between immortals and mortals.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing floral fragrance and the clear sound of flowing water, making one feel as if placed in that ancient and beautiful era.

"Welcome, Lu Yuan." A low, ancient voice sounded.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw an ancient spirit clad in golden armor and holding a long spear standing before him.

His eyes were as deep as azure ice, and a gem-like bright heart faintly sparkled in his chest.

"Who are you? Why have you appeared before me?"

Lu Yuan's heart was filled with curiosity and shock.

The ancient spirit smiled slightly, "I am the guardian of this palace and also the protector of the Firefly Ancient Tomb."

"Your pursuit of Northern Dark Divine Liquid has already aroused resonance in me and this ancient tomb."

Lu Yuan's heart stirred; he realized he was now in the phantom realm, communicating with the guardian of the Firefly Ancient Tomb.

"What do you wish to obtain from within the tomb?" The ancient spirit's gaze locked onto Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, "Power and wisdom."

The ancient spirit nodded, "You have already shown sufficient courage and intelligence; I am willing to impart some things to you."

Having said that, his spear trembled slightly, and a pale golden light emanated from it, winding around Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan felt a powerful and pure force surge into his body, enabling him to perceive the subtle details of everything around him.

"This is the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation Method."

The ancient spirit spoke calmly, "When you employ this method, you can expand the Five Elements Escape Armor Technique centered on yourself, binding enemies within."

Lu Yuan felt his power increase, and he was shocked by this formidable immortal art.

He was not arrogant, but he knew mastering such a technique would give his team a greater combat advantage.

"And wisdom."

Lu Yuan raised his head, looking expectantly at the ancient spirit.

The ancient spirit smiled and said, "Wisdom is gained from experience."

"The Firefly Ancient Tomb contains the wisdom of countless ancient civilizations and the lessons left after enduring vicissitudes."

"Enter the tomb, and use your intelligence to solve them."

As these words fell, Lu Yuan felt himself break free from the illusion and return to reality.

He gripped the Northern Dark Divine Fluid in his hand and solemnly swore in his heart: he must find a way to enter the Starfire Ancient Tomb and unravel the greater mystery behind it. Lu Yuan led Gu Qingwan, King Qi, and Su Liyan to the White Bud Flower City Lord's Manor.

It was a magnificent building, with towering walls encircling the entire manor, and palace-style structures radiating a splendid golden-green glow.

An ancient and mysterious aura permeated the air, making hearts involuntarily tremble.

On the square ahead, Zhimo stood on the steps, looking down on the crowd, holding a sharp sword, his face full of arrogance as he gazed at Lu Yuan and his companions.

Su Linglong was imprisoned inside the City Lord's Manor, awaiting this marriage, she longed to escape from here……

"Zhimo! Release my sister!" Su Liyan shouted loudly. (End of chapter)
