Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 835 - 684: True Monarch’s Treasury, Power Soars_2

Apart from the lunar jade, Lou Yi discovered two key items.

Wind Profound Crystal, the treasure required for the promotion of Wind Stabilization talent.

Wind Stabilization (Proficient 0/1000+1 Wind Profound Crystal) → Wind Stabilization (Minor Achievement 0/3000+1 Divine Wind Dew)

The introduction of Wind Stabilization talent in the attribute panel also underwent some changes.

Wind Stabilization (Passive): The ability to adapt in harsh windy environments increases slowly over time.

Wind Stabilization (Active): Can absorb 99.9% of the bodily harm caused by wind element as long as it does not exceed the limit of endurance.

At the entry level, Wind Stabilization talent absorbs 90% of wind element damage, allowing only 10% to ultimately affect the body.

At the proficient level, Wind Stabilization talent absorbs 97% of wind element damage, allowing only 3% to ultimately affect the body.

At the expertise level, Wind Stabilization talent absorbs 99% of wind element damage, allowing only 1% to ultimately affect the body.

At the minor achievement level, Wind Stabilization talent absorbs 99.9% of wind element damage, allowing only an insignificant thousandth to affect the body.

From now on, even when encountering a Wind Element Cultivator with far superior cultivation, Lou Yi is confident in dealing with them.

The other treasure is the Thunderwind God Crystal.

This blue semi-transparent crystal, flickering with electric light and surrounded by flowing air currents, is unexpectedly the key item required for Wind Riding talent!

Lou Yi’s pupils slightly constricted upon seeing it.

Power, speed, and defense are the most important components of a martial artist’s strength.

Among them, speed is the hardest to improve, and Wind Riding talent has long been stuck at the minor achievement level.

Wind Riding (Minor Achievement 0/5000+1 Thunderwind God Crystal) → Wind Riding (Great Success 0/20000+1 Kunpeng Feather)

Strange memories appeared in his mind.

In the memory, Lou Yi became an ordinary member of the winged human tribe, accidentally entered the family forbidden area, received guidance from the ancestral spirit, and finally activated the ancient bloodline, dominating the land...

In reality, a large amount of energy from heaven and earth entered his body, frantically transforming locations such as his shoulders, back, waist, legs, and veins throughout his body.

It made it seem as if a gentle breeze was constantly swirling around him, his body became much lighter, and any casual leap would cover a much greater distance than before.

"Wind Riding."

As Lou Yi murmured softly, two pairs of red wings suddenly grew on his back, translucent red, three feet long, thin like cicada wings.

Although the wings are composed of energy, they are still lined with many supporting structures and countless energy feathers, crafted ingeniously as if made by divine hands.

’Woosh!’

Lou Yi spread his wings, transforming into a four-winged birdman, suspended in mid-air, his whole body glowing with red light, bearing a significant resemblance to the celestial race from mythical legends.

’Whiz!’

In the next moment, he flapped his wings, turning into a streak of red lightning, appearing outside the courtyard like he had teleported, with a sharp sonic boom echoing only moments later.

"This speed... The talent at the great success level is indeed frightening!" Lou Yi’s eyes brightened, filled with great joy.

Wind Riding (Passive): The reaction speed and coordination ability of limbs slowly increases over time.

Wind Riding (Active): Temporarily optimizes the muscles and veins throughout the limbs, waist, back, and abdomen, enhancing jumping ability and walking speed. Can condense wind wings with Qi-Blood energy to merge with the body like a spiritual bird in flight through the void.

Having inspected this storage ring, Lou Yi started examining other storage magical treasures.

The second storage bag contained elixirs, with most porcelain bottles empty, only a few containing Elixir Pills, mainly consisting of attack-oriented and poison-related elixirs, with few that could increase cultivation, and generally of low grade.

Of course, the low grade is relative to the True Monarch level; for Lou Yi, who is currently only at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, they are already considered treasures.

"Xuan Ji True Monarch was driven to the first level of the Skyrift, confined to a corner, lacking raw materials, and short of elixirs is only natural." Lou Yi found nothing strange about it and continued searching.

In the third storage ring, there were more than ten magical artifacts.

There was an entirely black flying boat, a red fan that emitted warmth, and a sword pill that exuded a chilling cold...

Any random item selected would be an extremely precious treasure artifact.

As the alliance hierarch sect in the cultivation realm known for magic treasures, Spirit Treasure Sect naturally has a wide variety of collections, with no inferior items present.

"Sadly, there is no spiritual treasure." Lou Yi had some greedy thoughts.

Above magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, and treasure artifacts, there are spiritual treasures, also known as Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures, often usable only at the True Monarch level. Historically, their quantities may be fewer than True Monarchs, with any one kept as a cornerstone treasure at a major sect.

"But this black boat, named the Rift-breaking Boat, seems comparable in preciousness to ordinary spiritual treasures."

The fourth storage ring contained numerous cultivation secret manuals, in book form, bamboo scrolls, and jade discs.

"Red Flower Sword Dao True Explanation", "Tai Shang Qi Sensing Grand Method", "Five Element Escape Technique", "Array Classics"...

Upon seeing them, Lou Yi’s eyebrow twitched, and a secret manual suddenly appeared in his hand: "Array Classics".

"Such boldness, daring to claim itself as an array classic." Lou Yi himself had profound array dao cultivation, having perfected "Array First Theory" multiple times to confront enemies, with rewarding effects.

The path of arrays is the easiest method to achieve victory across ranks.

He carefully perused it, discovering the manual indeed lived up to its claim, containing numerous detailed descriptions of high-level arrays and principles like the Celestial Star Array, Two Forms Dust Array, Innate Five Element Array, and Ten Thousand Corpse Sealing Heaven Array, intricately explained along with insightful sharing from Xuan Ji True Monarch.

After browsing for a while, the array first theory item on the attribute panel also changed.

Array First Theory (Perfection) → Array Classics (Proficient 0/20000)

Spending twenty thousand energy points, the Array Classics was promoted to the next level: Array Classics (Mastery 0/60000), but at this time energy was insufficient, so Lou Yi didn’t continue.

However, his understanding of arrays in his mind deepened significantly.

He also automatically learned numerous powerful arrays, but they all required advance setup and purchase of many construction array bases and eyes.

The most difficult aspect of array dao lies in the cumbersome preparation; with sufficient preparation, surpassing one or two ranks to defeat enemies is not difficult.

In the subsequent storage magical treasures, Lou Yi found a large number of ores, metals, and magical artifacts, although not as highly ranked as the previous ones, they were abundant in quantity.

’Entering the True Monarch Blessed Land this time was truly a windfall.’ Lou Yi thought.

The treasures in the True Monarch’s abode were obtained by him, though many were missing, in terms of wealth in some categories, the resources are comparable to those found in certain Golden Core sects.

Lou Yi now intends to establish a cultivation family; the needed materials are entirely sufficient.

After finishing examining all the storage magical treasures, Lou Yi discovered a long black box in the corner of the secret vault, very heavy, made of precious metal.

Upon opening the box, he found a gray leather paper scroll quietly lying inside.

Unfolding the scroll, a long magic spell composed by Xuan Ji True Monarch was written on it, the handwriting familiar.

Lou Yi silently recited the spell, noticing that the black and red pebble in his hand became scorching, simultaneously a strange message entered his mind.

"So this is the true charm for controlling the abode’s magical treasure; only with it can one truly operate the abode in conjunction with the key."

"Xuan Ji True Monarch’s abode is the core of the entire blessed land; as long as the abode is controlled, one can even clearly perceive every situation within the land..."

Various regions of the True Monarch Blessed Land such as mountain areas, grasslands, forests, and even many familiar faces appeared in Lou Yi’s mind.

He soon felt his spiritual power exhausted, his brain hurting; with his current cultivation, he could not sustain prolonged observation.

However, Lou Yi discovered another crucial piece of information.

Using the power of the abode, he could see a small area within the blessed land genuinely merging with the main world, with several space rifts faintly floating.

’If aided by the treasure artifact Rift-breaking Boat, could I directly enter the main world from within the blessed land?’

...

Main world, Taiyi Sect.

Above the mountain ranges of the sect, numerous colorful talismans floated, like a net that covers the sky and earth.

Under the light net, the spirit peaks stretched on, many gleaming brightly.

’Dum...’

On the very center’s ten-thousand-foot peak, a melodious bell sound rang out, causing anyone who heard it to show puzzled expressions, unsure of the event.

"The second Daoist has fallen!"

Soon, this news spread through the entire sect like a hurricane, causing immense upheaval.
