Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Three Layers of Godly Power【Fifth Update】_1
Forcefully attacking would only lead the palace to self-destruct, with the ensuing explosion proving too strong for even divine beings to withstand, ultimately affecting the already fragile illusory space.
There was a dazzling brilliance, as bright as daytime!
Chu Yuan suddenly saw thirty-six spirit pills radiating intense light floating above the treasure vault, as if they contained spirituality. Their medicinal power was a hundred times that of the top-tier Divine Elixir, and their most precious quality was their enticing spiritual energy.
"What is this?" Zhu Fengfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Spirit pills, genuine spirit-grade divine pills! These are exactly what divine beings need most for their cultivation. There are as many as seventy-two here!"
The higher one's cultivation level, the higher-grade pills are required. Top-tier Divine Elixirs can no longer satisfy divine beings; what they need most are Spirit Grade Divine Pills.
However, making spirit pills is extremely difficult, not just because the ingredients are hard to find but also due to the pitifully low success rate.
"The spirit pills are not the most precious things here. Feng Commander, look over there!" Chu Yuan suddenly pointed to a place where spiritual energy was dense.
The space where spiritual energy was strong seemed to be transforming into a sea, and there were extremely violent fluctuations.
The two people saw that within the sea, there was an incredibly strong spiritual entity, like a divine dragon soaring and dancing, resonating with a roar.
"What is this?" Zhu Fengfeng exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the national vein of the ancient Shang dynasty. It was formed by the faith of countless citizens. It was originally a spirit vein, but the ancient Shang dynasty has been extinct for too long, so there are no more citizens to fuel their belief!" Chu Yuan, who cultivated the Emperor Technique, knew about national veins.
The so-called national vein is the convergence of a nation's luck. The ancient Shang dynasty extracted all the spiritual energy from a spirit vein to cultivate its national vein, originally leaving it here in hope of using it someday when the dynasty is restored.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were even more explosive sounds coming from the palace.
Chu Yuan and Zhu Fengfeng hadn't appeared for a long time, and this palace group seemed incredibly formidable. Despite the efforts of the dozen people attacking, they couldn't break the palace's restrictions, which made them increasingly impatient, itching to charge in immediately.
"Martial Emperor! Do you think hiding inside will do any good? You can't possibly swallow all of these treasures alone. Why don't you share them with us? Or are you planning on hiding in there forever?" Seeing that they could not breach the palace, the group began bellowing out loud.
"That's right, although we can't get in, we can sure trap you in there. We'll make sure you can't leave the suspended forbidden zone. Once the forbidden zone closes, you'll be trapped here forever. By then, your Dawu, and its billions of citizens, will face the onslaught of our Wuzhen Imperial Dynasty, leading to the extinction of the state!"
The group continued yelling, thinking Chu Yuan's lack of appearance showed that he was scared of them and thus wanted to block Chu Yuan's escape route.
"The Wuzhen Imperial Dynasty!" Chu Yuan laughed coldly. "They are asking for death. This national vein is enough for my ascension to the Illuminating Divinity Realm!"
The Illuminating Divinity Realm, illuminating the path of the divine and truly understanding oneself.
Chu Yuan's path was the path of domination, the path of the emperor, continuously expanding and conquering, to build the most powerful empire, to make Dawu the most powerful domain in the suspended realm and even in the eternal world!
"Great Devouring Technique, swallow everything, give me the national vein!" Chu Yuan fiercely reached out towards the national vein.
Although this national vein was not a living being, it was still a convergence of faith and had its own instincts.
Sensing Chu Yuan's attempt to seize it, it immediately resonated with a thunderous rumble and emitted an extraordinary brilliance, like a stream of heavenly light.
"Dare to resist?" Chu Yuan released his supreme majesty of humanity to its fullest.
As the current Emperor of humanity, this national vein, a convergence of faith, was immediately intimidated by his power, shivering and obediently submitting before Chu Yuan.
The Great Devouring Technique quickly devoured!
Originally, if the previous Great Devouring Technique was used, the devouring process wouldn't be this fast. However, Chu Yuan has advanced this divine ability, becoming the King of Devouring. Consequently, this national vein was visibly shrinking at a rapid speed.
Those seventy-two spiritual god pills couldn't resist the force exerted by Chu Yuan, one by one they fell down.
"Commander Feng, absorb the power I'm transferring and make a breakthrough!"
Chu Yuan reminded.
"Alright!"
Such a dense energy also made Zhu Fengfeng feel that she was on the verge of a breakthrough. She inherited the bloodline of the Undying Divine Phoenix, which was even more advanced than the ancient phoenix—making her cultivation unstoppable.
After this national vein was devoured cleanly and the seventy-two spiritual god pills were all digested, it seemed like the national luck that Gu Shang Dynasty had gathered was also devoured by him, all its traces erased from this world.
Chu Yuan's realm also had a breakthrough and reached the Divine Glympse Realm.
Originally, even with a huge amount of spiritual energy and spirit pills, it would have been difficult for Chu Yuan to break through this major realm. However, inside this dragon vein, there existed faith power, which was what Chu Yuan needed most. As a result, he broke through the bottleneck of the God Glimpse Realm.
"Divine Storage Second Layer!"
After Zhu Fengfeng absorbed a large number of spirit pills and some vital energy from the dragon vein, she also had a breakthrough. Looking at Chu Yuan, she said, "Your realm has also had a breakthrough. No, that energy doesn't resemble that of someone who just had a breakthrough!"
"Divine Glympse Second Layer!"
"Divine Glympse Third Layer!"
In a short period of time, Chu Yuan reached the third level of the Divine Glympse Realm.
Indeed, after spending one thousand destiny points on two bottles of medium-level healing potions in the Suspended Imperial City, he still had fourteen thousand and fifty destiny points left. He then used ten thousand points to increase his level by two.
Upon reaching the Divine Glympse Realm, each level would require five thousand destiny points.
Under the boost of the Imperial Sword's properties, Chu Yuan's realm could compare to Divine Storage Third Layer, not to mention the numerous means he has at his disposal.
The spiritual energy was completely swept away, the spiritual fog in the palace disappeared, and Chu Yuan looked at several ancient books placed in front. These books contained various precious cultivation techniques and martial arts once controlled by the ancient Shang Dynasty.
The ancient Shang Dynasty's national-extinguishing supreme technique, Cosmos Law. Universe, boundless and infinite!
After taking the Cosmos Law, Chu Yuan saw a shrine similar to those where the divine ring and the spirit-killing sword were placed, but what was placed on top was a mirror.
This mirror was dark blue, seeming to trap an ocean inside with its waves fiercely crashing!
Deep Sea Mirror: Spiritual God Tool!
This mirror was the Deep Sea Mirror, the most important national artifact of the ancient Shang Dynasty!
A Spiritual God Tool was higher than an Extinct God Artifact, and there were only a few in the whole suspended territory. The biggest difference was that the Spiritual God Tool had gained a spirit and didn't feel dead when used.
"This item is a Spiritual God Artifact!"
Zhu Fengfeng, having obtained the Phoenix Blood Sword from their lineage's ancestor, was not unfamiliar with the energy fluctuations of the Spiritual God Artifact.
"This Deep Sea Mirror's light is as turbulent as being in the sea, truly stronger than the Extinct God Artifact by a large margin."
Chu Yuan nodded. Just as he was about to put away the Deep Sea Mirror to settle accounts with those people, the system prompt came.
"Detected that the host has conditions to repair the Taiyi Pill Furnace, do you want to repair?"
[Option 1: Sacrifice two Extinct God Artifacts, one Spiritual God Artifact, repair Taiyi Pill Furnace to the spiritual level, capable of refining spiritual god elixers, gain 300 Destiny Points.]
[Option 2: Temporarily do not sacrifice to repair Taiyi Pill Furnace, gain 300 Destiny Points.]
