Chapter 175 One Week Seclusion
Chapter 175 One Week Seclusion
Long Ming saw there were three weapons lying on the ground. Although their powerful aura was long gone, they still looked as majestic as ever.
A spear, a crimson sword, and a bracelet, Long Ming picked three of them.
" Damn, To think the Pale Mountain Abyss Demon corroded the power of the Imperial Weapons so much." Long Ming took a deep breath. These weapons were sacrificed into the sealing formation to seal the Pale Mountain Abyss Demon.
However, after thousand of years of resistance from the Pale Mountain Abyss Demon, the imperial weapons were corroded. And almost lost all their Imperial Aura.
' Although the Imperial Auar is almost non existent, the materials used the craft the weapons are still superior. Even if someone uses these weapons now, they are still powerful as an Innate type Noble grade weapon.' Long Ming probed in his heart.
However, he wasn't thinking of reusing them. In fact, he was thinking if he could refine these weapons and use the material to craft something else.
He threw everything into his spatial bracelet and picked the other spatial rings scattered around.
After that, he came out of the underground passage and walked out from the Central Palace. He could see the crimson Flaming Mountain near the Central Palace, standing with an imposing might.
The Flaming Mountain was one of the toughest trials for the disciples of ancient Four Seasons Valley. But, it was also one of the best places to cultivate and raise one's strength.
" According to Elder Hao, the remaining elder took all the treasures and manuals and hid them in a cave in the southern sky tower. It was guarded by an Imperial Seal, so no one under the Ancient Lord Realm or Formation Saint could break it." Long Ming disappeared from his position and streaked toward the southern sky tower.
But since he has the key to open that cave, Long Ming isn't worried at all. With his Raging Storm Wings, Long Ming swiftly arrived at the southern sky tower.
Although its name was impressive, it was nothing more than a small tower in a broken state. Even cultivators of Violet Palace Expansion Realm felt searching for treasures here was nothing more than a waste of time.
However, No one knew that the Four Seasons Valley hid many of their treasures at the last moment due to the attack of the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster.
Long Ming raised the token as it shone with a bright light. The wall before Long Ming slowly turned into jelly, as a small portal appeared before him.
Stepping inside, Long Ming could see a small cave lit up with luminescent pearls. He could see several shelves of scriptures and books were kept neatly inside the cave.
Other than that, there were several boxes, filled with various weapons and treasures. Long Ming saw that the only thing lacking there was high grade medicinal pills.
Although there were some crates filled with pill bottles, Long Ming checked them and noticed that it was only usable for cultivators of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm and below.
' But that's not surprising at all. Perhaps all the higher grade pills got consumed during the war with the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster.' Long Ming reached a conjecture.
However, even with the current amount of treasures and resources here, Long Ming was sure that the Four Seasons Valley could nurture their disciples like any big and powerful sect.
' Hmm? What's this?" Long Ming noticed a?long box in the corner and he became curious. He picked up the box and opened it.
The box was made with Crimson Parsol Tree, a rare tree in the cultivation world. It's wood used to create various treasures. However, seeing it's used to make a box made Long Mings surprised.
" So many sealing runes carved on it. Hehe, the thing inside must be pretty precious as well."
Long Ming opened the box as suddenly, his hair stood on its end. He felt like he was hearing the screech of a giant bird, enough to burst his eardrums.
The aura of the demonic beast was like a lightning storm, its aura was enough to suffocate Long Ming. Not to mention, the berserk demonic qi was like a tidal wave, trying to drown Long Ming's consciousness with it.
Long Ming hurriedly closed the box as he panted heavily. His forehead was drenched with sweat as he looked at the box with a bit of fear.
Inside the box, there was a single piece of bone. And the terrifying aura came from the bone itself.
" This bone must be from a powerful demonic beast of the least peak stage of Dao Refining Realm." Long Ming calmed his heart as he became curious.
A bone of Dao Refining Realm Demonic Beast is very precious and rare. Long Mind never expected to find one here.
" Hmm, This is a very precious refinement material. Although I don't know which demonic beast's bone it is, I can tell that it's from a bird type of demonic beast of Wind and Water attribute."
[ Ding! New Quest has arrived]
[ Training Montage of Genius]
[ Since you have gotten so many treasures, The Host should also do his best to absorb the power of all the resources and make it his own]
[ Quest: In the time of a week, become enough powerful to withstand the power of the Dao Bone of the demonic beast]
[ Quest reward: A Dark Gold Rank Chest]
[ Failure: The Comprehension of Nine Ancient Runic Words would vanish]
Long Ming's expression turned odd when he saw the quest details. " Damn, I only have the time of a week? That's too short!"
Estimating the strength of the bone, if Long Ming tried to refine it right now, he would get seriously injured. He saw that the system had already classified this bone as the Dao Bone of the demonic beasts, which is ten times more precious than the ordinary bones of the demonic beasts
If he wanted to refine it, he needed to attain the strength and spiritual qi of at least a Peak stage Harmonization Realm.
However, he already reached the Minor Stage of Great Mystic Mountain Physique. To reach the Perfection stage, Long Ming needed both time and lots of other natural treasures of heaven and earth.
" At this moment, I can only increase my spiritual qi first, then increase my proficiency in other techniques." Long Ming sighed.
[ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is giving you a hint. You can try the trials of the Azure Sun Secret Realm]
Long Ming's ears perked up when he read that. Indeed, Since he was protecting the disciples of Four Seasons Valley last time, Long Ming didn't participate in the trial of Flaming Mountain or Enlightenment Lake.
" Well, Since that's the case, I should go into secluded cultivation too." Long Ming cracked his knuckles as he gathered all the resources and returned back to the sect.
Elder Cai, who was looking after the Scripture Pavilion, was shocked when Long Ming returned back with so many techniques.
" Where the hell you find all these?" Elder Cai almost got a mini heart attack.
" Hehe, I just found a treasure trove, I guess?" Long Ming grinned.
After bidding her farewell, Long Ming returned back to Azure Sun's Secret Realm and went to the Enlightenment Lake first.
The moonlight was getting reflected by the rippling water of the lake as the wind blew gently. Long Ming sat at the bank of the Enlightenment Lake as he felt a strange kind of heaviness when he looked at it.
As he stared at the surface of the lake, he felt like he couldn't see the reflection of the moon at all.
He suddenly felt like he could feel various shadowy figures moving on the surface of the water. The lake turned into a gigantic screen, reflecting various scenes.
Long Ming could see the figures of various ancient cultivators and their techniques. Some used swords, and some used sabers. Various weapons, various techniques, everything flashed before Long Ming.
The lake water rippled as the lake slowly became tranquil. Soon, the waves of the lake stopped as it turned like a mirror, without a single ripple.
Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed as he stood up. Stretching his body, he looked at the mirror like a lake and let out a breath.
" I see…This place is filled with the various comprehensions of all the predecessors of Four Seasons Valley, They all store their comprehension and finding here, sealing in the lake."
Long Ming took a deep breath and took out the remaining five ancient runic words. After pondering, he chose the rune of Destruction.
A scroll appeared in Long Ming's mind as it unfurled, showing a pitch black word: Destruction.
Suddenly, Long Ming felt his soul shaking violently as he gazed at that word.
The awe imposing feeling of destruction, the power of obliterating anything in an instant, enveloped Long Ming's soul.
In Rune Inscription, the basic rune of destruction is used to eliminate unwanted runic chains. Most people treat it as a useless erasing tool. However, if one notices its
profundity, one can feel the tremendous power hiding inside this word.
" If I am able to incorporate the aura of destruction in my attacks, my power would increase sharply. Not to mention, I can also boost the power of talismans."
Long Ming soon fell into meditation as he tried to decipher the mysteries of the ancient runes.
