he tucked both talismans into his storage pouch, then swept his spiritual sense inside again—barely discerning a dozen or so vials and nearly a hundred mid-grade spirit stones of varying colors, two of which emitted a faint silvery glow—exactly the Thunder Spirit Stones he needed most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He joyfully pulled out the two Thunder Spirit Stones and stored them separately, then withdrew one vial, uncorked it, and upended it—a bright red pill rolled out, resembling blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill emitted a bloody stench; when touched, it felt soft and slightly elastic, like a meat ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu inspected the other vials one by one—all contained identical pills, all the same blood-red color, totaling eleven in all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu felt puzzled about the purpose of these strange pills but placed them back into the storage pouch, tucked the pouch into his robe, and solemnly turned to the other storage pouch, probing its interior with his spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This storage pouch was entirely different from the previous one; the first had held only about ten cubic meters—a common type—but this one contained over a hundred cubic meters of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu had previously seen only one storage pouch as large as thirty cubic meters, which he had treasured immensely and carried with him always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred-cubic-meter storage pouch was simply too extravagant—he could not help suspecting it might be a second-rank storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why he had immediately stopped—what lay inside seemed anything but ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within such a vast storage pouch, only four items were placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a giant mechanical wolf, three zhang in length, entirely black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical wolf appeared forged entirely from refined iron, its four paws a pale silver, gleaming with chilling light; its eyes were two crimson crystal stones, and atop its head stood a single translucent horn, within which faint threads of lightning flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Wang Yu had never seen such a mechanical beast before, its ferocious appearance made him gasp in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one mechanical beast occupied two-thirds of the pouch’s space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second item was a gray-white mask, inscribed with dense, twisted patterns—unknown what manner of artifact it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third item was a pale yellow inner-disciple token of the Mo Luo Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth item was a familiar, glossy green helmet, half-covered by a ghostly faceplate, with three short, green thorns on top—two short, one long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu slapped the pouch once, retrieving the helmet; after a moment’s thought, he slapped his own waist pouch and pulled out the green half-armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, these two items shared the same origin—were they a matching set of artifacts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly formed a matching defensive set, their value would be immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stared at the matching armor pieces, his heart swelling with joy; he tucked away the pouch, gripped each armor piece in one hand, poured spiritual energy into both simultaneously, and whispered, “Overclock.” Instantly, his eyes glowed with crystalline light as he fixed them on the two pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hummm”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both green-faced armor pieces vibrated, each revealing faint golden spiritual runes—one bore seven golden runes, the other twelve; each then shimmered into a pale green energy shield, enveloping its respective piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twelve spiritual runes”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu was startled, but after a moment’s thought, he swung the two green armor pieces and slammed them together hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” The helmet’s green shield flickered once; the half-armor’s shield did not even tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incredible defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu could not help but exclaim in awe, then turned the armor pieces over and over in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Green Light Armor”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally spotted three small characters on the inner sides of both pieces and read them aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, his nose twitched, his face changed, and he withdrew his spiritual energy from the two armor pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the two green shields collapsed—but red light flared on his palms, forming a crimson energy shield that enveloped both pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sizzle. Sizzle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the red shield, roaring flames erupted, engulfing the two Green Light Armor pieces in furious fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, a piercing shriek rang out—a bloody aura rose from the half-armor, faintly taking the shape of a crimson skull—but in an instant, it was utterly consumed by the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s face darkened; he flipped his hands, and the two armor pieces vanished. He reached into his robe and pulled out the Mo Luo Sect inner-disciple token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed the token before him, then clapped his hands together with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pale yellow token shattered under the pressure, scattering into fragments on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s sleeve moved; a yellow talisman appeared in his hand, flicked into the wind, and exploded into a mass of blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue light spun once, then dissolved into several pale blue spiritual runes that drifted onto his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Wang Yu felt lighter; he moved, leaping forward at a speed faster than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten li behind him, high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shusheng and several Mo Luo Sect disciples stood on a green wooden boat, their faces ashen as they stared at two young monks suddenly appearing before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One monk, aged seventeen or eighteen, had rosy lips, white teeth, and handsome features—but his face was flushed with shyness; had he not been bald, one might have mistaken him for a girl disguised as a boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was a middle-aged monk, tall and thin as a bamboo pole, his face utterly expressionless, as if wearing a thick mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Buddha is compassionate, esteemed guests. My brother and I seek alms from you—a single item. We humbly beg you not to withhold it.” The young monk bowed slightly, speaking softly to Shusheng and the others, his face still flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bald monks of the Jin Gang Temple, I’m not in the mood to fight you now. Leave while you still can, or leave your lives here.” Shusheng’s face brimmed with malice; inwardly, he seethed—how could disciples of the Great Ming sect be entering the secret realm now, and right in front of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even avoiding them and continuing onward now seemed impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger monk was manageable—likely only at the late Qi Condensation stage—but the bamboo-pole monk was at Qi Condensation peak, likely difficult to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Mo Luo Sect disciples also realized the two monks were formidable; they swiftly drew out their artifacts, readying themselves for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","00aca11fbc7e3695613f7c1a4b889dd905fae7d25b305dd6f4bdd87aa033de60","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-166","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-164",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
