The cave, spanning thousands of miles, possesses 35% of the Daoist essence from all directions. Its cultivation level has reached the limit of the cave, just one step away from being upgraded to a small world.
"The rewards for just the thousandth step are so generous; I wonder how abundant the contents of the two palaces behind will be." Lin Xuan glanced at his attribute panel, his smile widening as he muttered to himself, "In any case, reaching the peak of the first realm of the Celestial Beings should be no problem after completing this Heavenly Ladder..."
Once his cultivation reaches the peak of the first realm of the Celestial Realm, his overall strength will increase by more than ten times, or even dozens of times. At that time, he will be fearless of any sect's interception or killing.
Anyone who dares to come over will lose their life.
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly. He had already passed through the palace and was heading towards the 1001st step of the Heavenly Ladder. His pace was as steady and unhurried as ever.
"Look, he's out, and he's continuing to climb up."
"Holy crap... He's so fast! The pressure from the Heavenly Ladder seems to have no effect on him at all. How is that possible?"
"This only shows that his understanding of the Crimson Moon Burning the Sky has probably reached a great level."
...
Lin Xuan continued to ascend, immediately attracting the attention of some people on the Heavenly Ladder. After all, many people had been watching him ever since he entered the first palace. Now that he had left the palace and continued on his way, it naturally drew a lot of attention, and everyone started discussing it.
At the same time, many people looked at Li Mingsheng, who had already climbed the 101st step of the ladder, their eyes full of mockery and ridicule. This immediately made Li Mingsheng's face, which had just eased, turn gloomy and extremely distorted once again.
"Damn it, why are you looking at me like that? And that bastard, let you be smug for now! I've already used Blood Sword to transmit my voice; I believe someone from the sect will be here soon. Then we'll see how you die." Li Mingsheng roared inwardly, "Then, everything you've gained will ultimately become my wedding dress..."
Lin Xuan was unaware of Li Mingsheng's anger. He walked up step by step, and fog gradually rose around him. After he passed the 1,200th step, he was completely enveloped by thick fog.
Once those below could no longer see Lin Xuan, they all turned their gaze away.
"We can't see it anymore. This prodigy is too abnormal. The Heavenly Ladder has no effect on him at all. The inheritance of the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord is rightfully his. Now we just need to see if he can protect this inheritance."
"Hmph, do you think a peasant like him has any chance of preserving his legacy under the interception of people from various sects and forces? It would be good enough if he could save his own life."
"That's right, the major powers won't let him leave. That's the tragedy of a nobody."
"How do you know that he must be a nobody, a peasant? Maybe he has some powerful connections."
...
Many people discussed and argued amongst themselves, but many more chose to continue their secluded cultivation and comprehend the Crimson Moon Burning Heaven.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already climbed the 2000th step and arrived at the second palace. His Crimson Moon Burning Heaven Great Divine Power had long been perfected, so this heavenly ladder was just a formality for him.
Looking at the second palace in front of him, Lin Xuan smiled slightly and pushed open the door without hesitation.
With the same layout as the first palace, only a pillar of light shone in the empty hall. When Lin Xuan approached the pillar of light, a figure materialized, and a deep voice immediately resounded throughout the entire hall.
"Congratulations to the newcomer for cultivating the Crimson Moon Burning Heaven to its peak and arriving here. Similarly, I have left you some things, hoping that you can perfect the Crimson Moon Burning Heaven as soon as possible."
As the sound faded, the figure in the pillar of light dissipated, and three jade boxes appeared in the air.
Three!
Lin Xuan was immediately overjoyed, his eyes gleaming.
This is truly a windfall! There are three jade boxes! Could they contain three top-grade innate medicinal herbs? If so, then we've really struck it rich.
Whoosh whoosh...
Instantly, the three jade boxes transformed into three streams of light, shooting out from the pillar of light and hovering in front of Lin Xuan. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xuan casually took one of the jade boxes and opened it.
A rich medicinal aroma wafted out, causing Lin Xuan's pupils to widen and his face to beam with joy.
This time, they really made a fortune.
Inside the jade box was indeed a top-grade innate medicinal herb, its efficacy even slightly stronger than the one in the first palace. Lin Xuan immediately put the jade box away, then grabbed the other two jade boxes in his hands, one in each.
With a thought, both jade boxes opened simultaneously.
To Lin Xuan's surprise, the two boxes did not contain only innate treasures. One of the boxes contained a high-grade innate treasure, while the other box contained a bead, a round, fiery red bead about the size of an infant's fist. The moment the jade box was opened, an astonishing heat surged out.
In an instant, the temperature inside the entire palace seemed to have increased more than tenfold.
"Holy crap... It's a Fire Spirit Orb, and a high-grade one at that..."
Lin Xuan was stunned and instinctively gasped.
His eyes widened instantly, his heart pounded wildly, and he was so excited he almost jumped up and down.
The Fire Spirit Orb is an innate, extraordinary object.
It was born naturally from heaven and earth, just like the Earth Spirit Fire and the Mountain and River Cauldron. However, the Fire Spirit Pearl is of a higher grade than the Earth Spirit Fire and the Mountain and River Cauldron, having reached the superior grade.
This is terrifying! The value of a single Fire Spirit Pearl is at least equivalent to tens of thousands of top-grade innate medicinal herbs! And perhaps even more. For Immortal Lord Crimson Moon to actually store such a treasure in this second palace—he's practically an ostentatious tycoon!
"The Fire Spirit Orb is a naturally occurring object of the fire attribute, and the Crimson Moon Burning Heaven Great Divine Power is also of the fire attribute. It seems that the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord has really gone to great lengths for his future successor!"
Lin Xuan felt a deep sense of melancholy.
Inside the two palaces, there was a top-grade innate rare object, the Fire Spirit Pearl, and three top-grade innate precious herbs with fire attributes, showing the great care and effort put into it by the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord.
Unfortunately, he had already mastered the Crimson Moon Burning Heaven Great Divine Power to perfection. However, these four items were equally powerful in helping him; the two innate precious herbs were enough to allow him to advance his cultivation further and completely transform his cave into a small world.
As for the innate rare object, the Fire Spirit Pearl, its effect is even greater. This thing will definitely be of great help to his small world, but only after he has collected all five innate rare objects. As for now, it does have some effect, but it does not reach the effect of collecting all five innate rare objects, so Lin Xuan does not plan to use it.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan put away the Fire Spirit Pearl and then took out two high-grade innate medicinal herbs to begin refining them.
