Facing a newly forged treasure.
Lin Feng wanted to try the Zhu Xian Sword.
As a result.
"The sword-type weapon you selected is of a higher grade than this treasure. Forcible inscription will only grant 1% of the original weapon's base effect."
"Detected treasure related to the Zhu Xian Sword. You can enjoy 10% of the prototype's base effect."
Lin Feng pursed his lips, feeling a bit regretful.
Alright.
It seems having too strong a weapon isn't always a good thing.
He hadn't considered upgrading this treasure further.
Could he not fully inscribe the Zhu Xian Sword by using the Great Dao Origin to refine it into an Origin-Opening Spiritual Treasure?
But.
The system indicated that this treasure was a quest reward.
Refining it with the Great Dao Origin would require ten times the original amount of Great Dao Origin.
Which meant 1000 portions.
Lin Feng directly gave up.
Although he now had tens of trillions of immortal crystals.
It was impossible for him to convert so much Great Dao Origin.
Unless there was some other way to convert Great Dao Origin in the future.
For now.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Since it wasn't possible for now.
He would change weapons first.
He took out another acquired spiritual treasure, the [Jing Hong Sword].
This weapon had mediocre attributes and was suitable for testing.
After successfully inscribing it.
"Do you wish to spend 19.59 million immortal crystals to materialize [The Soul of Tongtian Cult Master] (twentyfold amplification)?"
"Detected that this item has undergone special reinforcement. Materialization cost increased by 100 times."
"Detected that this item is a quest reward item. Materialization cost increased by 100 times."
"Do you wish to spend 19.59 billion immortal crystals to materialize [The Soul of Tongtian Cult Master] (twentyfold amplification)?"
Lin Feng blinked.
The cost of materializing an item of this tier was indeed not small.
With two doublings, the cost directly increased to 10,000 times the original.
It was terrifying.
Fortunately.
He had enough immortal crystals for now.
He directly chose to materialize.
Continuing his journey to the Five Zhuang Temple, he returned to the small room prepared for him by Zhenyuan Great Immortal.
Lin Feng sat on the reinforced Enlightenment Meditation Cushion and logged off.
Opening his eyes, he walked out of the room.
Since the last time he logged off, Lin Feng's strength had increased further.
He felt a slight discomfort in his body.
It seemed.
The repulsion from this world was growing.
However.
There was nothing he could do about it.
As players collectively improved, the subtle enhancement and change to Water Blue Star upon conversion to reality.
This situation would improve.
And when [The Soul of Tongtian Cult Master] was materialized.
It did not appear as a physical object.
Instead, it transformed into a tattoo on his left hand.
It was a dancing swordsman, appearing exceptionally graceful.
With a thought from Lin Feng, it could be hidden.
It was quite convenient.
Lin Feng walked out of the base alone.
He came to an open space.
He silently recited.
Soul Transformation into Sword!
Then.
A transparent treasure sword appeared before him.
It gradually became clear.
It was the Jing Hong Sword he had inscribed in the game earlier.
This was a very light and agile sword.
Natural patterns grew on its surface.
It looked extremely exquisite and extraordinary.
Lin Feng took it in his hand.
He felt that it was completely in sync with his thoughts.
He looked at the open space before him, wanting to swing his sword to test it.
As he made his move, he hesitated.
The Divine Firmament Annihilation Thunder at the Golden Immortal level previously had been enough to destroy the terrain and cause significant environmental damage.
This sword, three great tiers higher, an acquired spiritual treasure, would likely be like a nuclear bomb if swung.
He shook his head, giving up the idea of striking the ground.
Then, he turned his gaze to the sky.
Swish!
He didn't intentionally mobilize his body's immortal power or primordial chaos immortal power.
He simply swung his sword naturally.
However.
Even such a sword strike was extraordinary in its power.
An invisible ripple surged towards the sky.
The scene before him even distorted slightly.
Boom!
Then.
The sky, like a calm lake with a meteorite falling into it.
Ripples spread out layer by layer.
Even.
After this sword energy completely dissipated.
Cracks appeared, as if tempered glass had been hit by a heavy object.
Lin Feng's eyes nearly popped out.
No way!
A casual sword strike ruined the sky?
To be honest, he was frightened by the power of this sword.
He quickly stared at the sky.
Feeling somewhat uneasy.
But he stared for ten minutes without blinking.
The sky had not recovered.
It still looked like a large expanse of cracked glass.
It seemed.
It would shatter at any moment.
It was quite terrifying.
Lin Feng glanced around nervously.
He quickly put away the Jing Hong Sword.
Feeling a sense of dread.
He wouldn't test it again.
If he tested it again.
The sky would really collapse.
He hurriedly returned to the base and went upstairs.
He logged back into the game.
...
Immortal Realm, Yun Luo Palace.
Hoo~
Hoo~
In front of the previously broken teleportation array.
A portly man was lying on a rocking chair.
Snoring loudly.
His saliva had soaked a large part of his robe.
Crack!
A sudden sound woke him from his sleep.
He immediately summoned his natal magic treasure.
Who?
He stood up alertly, not even bothering to wipe the saliva from his robe.
But after observing his surroundings, he found no unexpected occurrences.
The immortal named Ao Jiao was bewildered.
What was going on?
This place was so secluded.
Ever since the teleportation array leading to the lower realm was destroyed, nothing noteworthy had happened.
Being on duty here had become an extremely leisurely task.
He had given a nice treasure to the supervisor of miscellaneous affairs to be assigned here.
He could sleep all day without having to rush around like other immortals.
It was very comfortable.
Everything was fine before.
Why was there a sudden inexplicable sound?
Could it be?
He felt a sense of unease in his heart.
He probed forward.
And was immediately so terrified that his soul was scattered.
His hoarse voice could no longer be suppressed, and he shouted.
"Something's happened!"
"Someone from the lower realm is going to attack!"
Instantly.
The entire Yun Luo Palace was awakened by his roar.
Countless figures rushed towards this place.
Ao Jiao saw his senior brothers, whom he rarely saw.
And his martial uncles.
All of them arrived.
Within less than fifteen minutes.
Even the ancestor personally arrived at the scene.
He was greatly surprised.
However, judging from his demeanor, it didn't seem like he was there to hold him accountable, so he relaxed.
But what confused him was.
Ancestor Ao Li had arrived but only briefly surveyed the situation.
He did not speak.
Instead, he stood quietly with the others in front of the teleportation array.
As if waiting for someone.
This made Ao Jiao somewhat shocked.
Even the ancestor had to wait obediently. Who was coming?
But no matter how much he imagined, he couldn't think of anyone in the Heavenly Court who had such influence.
Unless...
His eyes flickered.
At this moment.
"Welcome, Celestial Venerable!"
Following Ao Li's long shout and excited expression.
Everyone else knelt down.
Ao Jiao, not knowing what was happening, quickly knelt down as well.
He lowered his head deeply.
His heart filled with awe.
Celestial Venerable?
In the Heavenly Court, only those supreme beings in the deepest part of the Thirty-Three Heavens could be called Celestial Venerables.
Was one of them coming?
He opened his mouth wide.
Was the change in this teleportation array so important that it could alarm such a figure?
His mind went blank.
After kneeling, he heard a ethereal voice.
"You may all rise."
Led by Ao Li, everyone present in Yun Luo Palace stood up.
Their expressions were filled with excitement.
This was a Celestial Venerable!
They were actually fortunate enough in this life to witness such an existence.
However.
No matter how much he and the others strained their eyes.
They could not see the true appearance of the Celestial Venerable.
They could only feel a vague, ethereal presence in front of the teleportation array.
A moment later.
They heard the Celestial Venerable's voice again.
"It's nothing, it's not an invasion from the lower realm."
"It's just an attack at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
Ao Li was somewhat surprised.
"The lower realm has such strength. What should we do? Should we expand the teleportation array and attack them?"
Others could not see this Celestial Venerable.
But Ao Li, as an old-fashioned Great Luo Golden Immortal, was not deliberately shielded by the other party.
He could see Yuanshi Tianzun in front of the teleportation array.
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head.
"Although the attack is extraordinary in power, the passage between the two realms is unstable."
"If we were to teleport down rashly, it would be easy to cause destruction to the lower realm."
"Let's continue to observe for now. Report any changes immediately."
With that.
His figure disappeared.
And his last words were only heard by Ao Li.
The others only saw their ancestor's mouth move a few times, then nod.
"Alright, you may all return to your posts."
Ao Li commanded.
The others looked as if they had been granted a great pardon and dispersed one after another.
Only Ao Jiao remained on the spot, awaiting Ao Li's instructions.
