Chapter 575 Conversation with the Spirit Monkey: The Sea-Suppressing Pearl
The main function of this sacred armor is its ability to escape, which is virtually unrestricted. If one can gain the approval of the spirit within, there will be no place in the entire Ice Prison Realm that can trap him.
The remaining effects, including the lightning transformation, are for warding off calamities.
It can withstand heavenly tribulations and lightning.
The domain is similar to the spiritual energy control effect of the Nascent Soul domain, but its range is much larger than the area he can control, and it is also more domineering and unsolvable!
Immunity... means the ability to absorb offensive and magical abilities of the five elements. Apart from physical and spiritual power, it can be immune to all five elements attacks below the Dao Integration level.
This is because the sacred armor contains the five directions and five elements of the minor world.
With a diameter of approximately one hundred kilometers, it contains extremely pure essence of the five elements, and the immune effect comes from these five small realms.
"My darling."
Wang Yu's eyes gleamed. After completely draining the water demon that the prince's corpse had transformed into, he directly lifted the coffin and took the treasure.
Compared to the obscure appearance observed by divine sense.
Upon firsthand observation, this Five Elements Celestial Armor is entirely made of purple-gold, giving it an extremely noble appearance. Five-colored pearls are inlaid on the chest, within which the Five Elements Minor Realm is hidden.
The innate cloud-like characters, imbued with mysterious and strange power, were evenly distributed throughout the sacred armor in a regular pattern, making it difficult for him to discern their nature with his current cultivation level.
But I couldn't suppress my fondness for it.
Using his divine sense to capture the Sacred Armor, Wang Yu was about to store it in his Sea Heart Ring when he discovered that his Qiankun Ring could not contain it. He quickly realized the reason after a moment of confusion.
Just like the Sea Heart Ring cannot collect other Qiankun Rings.
The characteristic of storage spaces is that they cannot overlap with each other; otherwise, wouldn't an infinite number of nested dolls result in an infinitely large storage space?
But according to legend, above the Qiankun Ring is another kind of World Ring, which has an incomparably vast space inside and can even contain living things and spiritual energy.
Wang Yu couldn't take away the Holy Armor for another reason besides the limitations of the storage ring... it was the spirit of the artifact causing trouble!
After years of slumber, I was suddenly disturbed.
This caused the spirit to wake up a little slowly. It was only after Wang Yu had touched its entire body that it slowly woke up. Suddenly, a burst of multicolored light burst forth in the dimly lit tomb.
Amidst the swirling spiritual energy, a small monkey dressed in a crooked long robe and wearing a pure yang scarf suddenly materialized. Its slightly bewildered eyes snapped back to attention upon seeing Wang Yu.
"Hey!"
"Who are you? How dare you touch the Sacred Armor! Do you know that the armor's master is a Dao-Merging powerhouse of the Void Dharma Lineage, not Kong Zi?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu felt helpless.
He was actually thinking about how to persuade the artifact spirit to serve him. Without the artifact spirit's support, he probably wouldn't even be able to activate the Holy Armor with his current strength.
His eyes darted around, and he chuckled mischievously.
"Little monkey, think about it again. Did your master... die?"
A look of confusion appeared in the monkey's eyes.
Like Kapibala in a daze, his memories were pulled back to a long, long time ago, when he killed the demon and escaped, and the Immortal Dynasty was slaughtered by the ancient demons, with nearly half of the Nascent Soul cultivators being killed.
He followed his master, Fei Kongzi, to the mortal realm to suppress demons.
First, he dealt with the derelict celestial dynasty, then used secret methods to control several native cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to ensure that the punishment was carried out, and then he went alone to search for the traces of the demon killer.
Despite winning several major battles, they were unable to completely eradicate the ancient demon's true nature. They intended to use a sealing technique to bind and kill the demon again, but were outmaneuvered by the natives of the Immortal Dynasty.
An unexpected draining of a dragon vein that had become sentient and possessed intelligence led to the extinction of its lifespan by the Heavenly Dao, resulting in its death with resentment.
He also had half of his origin severed by the Great Dao Guillotine, which was transformed from the Heavenly Dao, thus losing his tall and mighty divine monkey form and becoming this little monkey head.
This sleep lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Even by the standards of a seventh-order artifact spirit, this is a considerable period of time.
Seeing that the other person was lost in memories, Wang Yu did not disturb them.
Once he recovers, if he wants to say that he will eventually know the secrets of that year, then this Dao-Merging Grandmaster is no Kongzi, but should be the first Grandmaster buried in the Ice Prison Realm.
The so-called "Descended Immortal" in ancient history was one of the culprits behind the downfall of the Immortal Dynasty!
The few words about the Void Lineage reminded him of the spatial techniques of the Prison King Spirit Official, and a thought immediately popped into his mind: Could this be someone who inherited the same lineage?
a long time.
The monkey spirit finally snapped out of its reverie, involuntarily sighed, and then glared at Wang Yu with slight annoyance.
"It's all your fault for scheming, natives. Otherwise, our master would not have perished in this prison."
"The spirit is mistaken. If he hadn't been so greedy, how could he have been outmaneuvered by ants who are far weaker than him?"
Earth veins, spiritual veins, the four spiritual veins, dragon veins... and so on.
All of these are the foundational elements that the world has nurtured.
Earth veins are the foundation of the earth's existence, enabling fertile soil, lush vegetation, stable land, and the nurturing of life.
Spiritual veins are the source of spiritual energy, and their importance to the cultivation world is self-evident.
The so-called Four Symbols refer to the four spiritual veins of earth, water, fire, and wind. This is the internal saying among Feng Shui practitioners. The spiritual practice community recognizes the Five Elements theory more, as these elements are equally important.
As for the importance of the dragon vein, it is even more important than all the veins listed earlier. It is a very crucial spiritual vein that almost determines the upper limit.
All of the above are favored by Heaven.
Moving or relocating is not a problem, as it is still within the world. However, if you completely destroy it, you will be punished by the Heavenly Dao, causing your fortune to plummet.
The Underworld is a typical example of this.
The entire clan vanished into the Yellow Springs River. What good could come of such a dark and deadly place? What they destroyed... was only the least "valued" spiritual vein.
Strictly speaking...
The spiritual veins damaged by the Spirit Refining Array still have a chance to be reborn; they are merely drained and cannot be considered completely destroyed.
Tens of thousands of years later, that dead land will still give birth to spiritual veins.
The reason why the non-empty one was punished by heaven is because the meridians he destroyed had become sentient beings. Such beings are born with the Dao and are favored by heaven and earth.
Somewhat like being born divine, extremely extraordinary.
The probability of its birth is extremely small. It is often difficult to find a special world that can nurture sacred life even after traveling through thousands of worlds. The Ice Prison Realm is special enough.
Otherwise, why would it imprison the ancient demon's physical body?
More importantly, according to ancient historical records, besides Fei Kongzi, the Dao-merging powerhouse responsible for suppressing the ancient blood demon also died from the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
This one even drained an entire fire vein.
Only after completely burning the Blood Sea could they capture the Ancient Demon. There was also an incident in which the Ancient Demon broke its seal between the two events, but there are few ancient books that record this, and the details are often unclear.
The first and third times spanned approximately 80,000 years, which seems incredibly long from a human perspective, but in the time scale of heaven and earth and the universe, it was merely a moment.
However, it gave birth to two innate deities in succession.
This is incredibly strange.
As he sorted through the information he had learned and made deductions, Wang Yu pieced together the reason why Fei Kongzi was caught in the trap, through the spirit of the artifact, in a way that was half-listening and half-guessing.
The monkey spirit roared angrily.
"What do you know! Most innate saints are born in the True Spirit Realm, a top-tier world that can accommodate immortals residing in the mortal realm. Who could have known that this Ice Prison Realm is so treacherous?"
Wang Yu shook his head.
"As we all know, the Ice Prison Realm is bound by the rules of immortals, and the limit it can accommodate is only the Nascent Soul stage. Let me ask you, what would other worlds do if an existence exceeding the limit were to forcibly descend upon them?"
The spirit was taken aback and muttered to itself.
"You will be ostracized... If you don't withdraw in time, you will be targeted by the Heavenly Dao, unless you have a way to deceive the Heavenly Dao."
"What level did the ancient demon's physical body reach?"
"I see...I see..."
The ancient demons are known as the top-tier beings below the Immortal Realm. The fact that the Ice Prison Realm can accommodate the physical body of such beings proves that its essence is only slightly inferior to that of the True Spirit Realm.
The fact that it has given birth to divine beings one after another further proves that its origin is different.
No wonder this world is full of outstanding people and abundant resources, with countless true spirits and ferocious beasts emerging. In ancient times, there were even true spirits such as the Vermilion Bird and the Qilin.
Lian Tian, Wang Yu, and others were also exceptions.
Leaving aside scheming and plotting, their talent and comprehension alone put them on a completely different level from the natives of other worlds. Creatures nurtured by a great world are naturally more powerful than those of other small worlds.
The misfortune of those who are not unlucky is simply due to bad luck.
There was also the possibility of carelessness and underestimation of the Ice Prison Realm. His incident could be considered an accident, but the reasons for the third "Immortal Descends" incident are not very clear.
Perhaps in the future, there will be an opportunity to understand the secrets behind it.
After helping the spirit resolve its inner conflict and alleviate its resentment towards the natives of the Ice Prison, Wang Yu pressed on while the iron was hot.
"If you dwell on the past, you'll never be able to recover to your former glory. Why not follow me? I will do everything I can to help you recover. And you... just need to lend me a hand when it matters. What do you say?"
"With your..."
"Why don't you take another look?"
After saying that, Wang Yu released his aura without any concealment, especially the vibrant life force, which allowed the artifact spirit to roughly judge his age.
The monkey head was indeed surprised.
"This feeling... You're only around four hundred years old? You're so young, even more outstanding than the most talented geniuses in the Void Dharma Lineage."
He has been praised as a genius more than once or twice in recent years, but back then he only started with a useless spiritual root. He has come this far entirely through his own hard work step by step.
"How is it? Is there any potential to help you recover?"
"Yes, there are... but the environment here makes it difficult to nurture spiritual objects that can help my recovery. Furthermore, even if I agree to your request, you will still find it difficult to utilize the power of the Holy Armor."
Wang Yu frowned.
Why is that?
The spirit scratched its head, as if trying to figure out how to explain it to Wang Yu.
After a long pause, he suddenly asked.
Do you know what a Dao-merging cultivator is?
"I don't know..."
His understanding of the Void Refinement stage was not even particularly comprehensive, let alone the immense power of a Dao Integration stage cultivator.
The spirit shook its head and said.
"To unite with the Dao, as the name suggests, requires one to comprehend one's own Dao in order to unite with it. The spatial laws comprehended during the Refinement of Emptiness stage are the space that supports the union with the Dao."
"You mean, the universe?"
"good."
The spirit continued.
"When a cultivator at the Refinement of Emptiness achieves the unity of all energies, and the complete perfection of essence, energy, and spirit, the three treasures blossom and merge to form the rudimentary form of Dao Yuan. Combined with the ability to manipulate the universe and the power to control the five elements, one can create a small world."
Wang Yu was in a daze. Creation... what an illusory term. He never thought that a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage could achieve it.
"This world is the foundation for cultivators to become immortals. To achieve Dao, one must integrate one's own Dao into the small world. You haven't even grasped the essence yet, so it's too early to talk about these things."
"In short, they want to drive me."
"I must possess magical power that has been integrated with the laws of the Dao, namely [Dao Yuan]. The next level is the rudimentary form of Dao Yuan possessed by cultivators who have mastered the Void Refinement stage, or energy crystals containing the rules of heaven and earth, both of which can replenish my losses."
Is that so?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Yu. He took out a Water-Fire Elemental Crystal, a treasure coveted by both the Prison King and the Spirit Official, a grade even higher than top-grade spirit stones.
It is one of the hard currencies that can circulate even in the true spirit world.
Can this item recharge your energy?
The spirit monkey's eyes lit up, and it pounced over in a hurry.
"Yes, yes, around 100,000 will allow me to use my full strength once."
Wang Yu: "..."
He dodged to the side without making a sound, he said.
"What if there are only a dozen or so?"
The spirit was taken aback.
He said uncertainly, "It should...maybe...be able to exert about one ten-thousandth of its power?"
He scratched his head in distress, seemingly having never encountered such a problem before. His Nascent Soul cultivation power was too mixed and of poor quality, making it impossible for him to exert his full strength.
Things have come to this.
The spirit had no other choice but Wang Yu, so even though it was disappointed, it still agreed to Wang Yu's request and made a pact.
If he encounters any treasures that can help him regain his strength in the future, they must be given priority to him, and the corresponding monkey spirit will also be under Wang Yu's control.
Because it was impossible to collect it into the Heart of the Sea Ring.
The Five Elements Celestial Armor shrank to the size of a fingernail and hung on the hairpin Wang Yu used to tie his hair.
"By the way, I haven't asked how to address you yet?"
“Yuanling, you can also call me Divine Monkey. Do as you please. I’m going to take another nap.”
"good."
Finally, after dealing with the matter, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The monkey's intelligence was only equivalent to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
He was easier to persuade than he had expected, and his feelings for his former master, Fei Kongzi, were not as deep as they appeared.
Overthinking is pointless; achieving the goal is enough.
With this thought flashing through his mind, Wang Yu quickly shifted his attention to the other burial objects. After all, it was the tomb of a prince, and the burial objects included more than just the excessive amount of sacred armor.
There are also many treasures that are very precious in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators. Wang Yu picked up a blue pearl and quickly obtained the corresponding information after penetrating it with his divine sense.
【Zhenhai Pearl】A fifth-grade low-level spiritual treasure containing boundless seawater. The more magical power is injected into it, the greater its weight becomes. When used, it can be used to smash people directly to achieve excellent results.
It also has the effect of restraining water-based magical abilities.
However, his affinity with the body is not very compatible with him, and he is regarded by Wang Yu as a "dumbbell", which should be helpful when he is training his body.
【Virtual Gold】A fifth-grade spiritual material, the best for forging swords.
"Hmm... perhaps it can be refined into the Yama Emperor Sword."
【Myriad Spirit Bloodstone】A Grade 5 spiritual material.
"This treasure may be able to upgrade the Taihe Blood Cauldron to a fifth-tier spiritual treasure."
The Immortal Flower is a fifth-grade spiritual herb that can preserve the body from decay, but its true function is to enhance the immortal power of body cultivators, making it a sacred item for body cultivation.
"—My darling!!!"
The more he looked, the wider the smile on Wang Yu's lips became.
With such abundant resources, he could close himself off here again for a short while.
The first update will be posted later tonight; the second update will be posted later that night.
