Chapter 560: Path Of The Supreme Genius (2)

A smile played on Eldritch Sovereign Kua Chi's lips. "Previously, I gifted you sixty points as a welcome gift. But I haven't given you any rewards for reaching the Amethyst Cradle phase. So, I shall bestow you a gift.

Both of your true selves may visit the Dao Temple twice each to experience a perception simulation of the Life Dao.

Furthermore, your body refiner self may request the inheritance of the True Spatial Domain Tome at any time," Kua Chi added.

Wu Yuan's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Master."

He quickly calculated—experiencing a Greater Law simulation at the Dao Temple cost five points each time. Four visits equated to twenty merit points. It might not seem like much, but it was an incredibly practical gift.

As for the True Spatial Domain Tome’s inheritance? Once he received it, it would act as a beacon in the darkness, likely improving his efficiency in comprehending the Space Dao significantly.

"I've shown you the path and provided the resources. Whether you succeed now depends on you," Kua Chi's voice grew stern. "I hope you won't disappoint me."

With those words, Kua Chi dissolved into countless motes of light and vanished.

"Farewell, Master," Wu Yuan bowed respectfully.

...

Wu Yuan stood in the center of the vast Blood Eldritch Temple, his eyes closed.

Astral Monarch Xue Ying waited patiently nearby.

Suddenly, Wu Yuan's eyes snapped open, and he smiled. "Astral Monarch, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

"No matter," Astral Monarch Xue Ying’s face remained hidden, but a hint of amusement tinged his voice. "I presume the Eldritch Sovereign has told you everything."

"Indeed," Wu Yuan nodded, waving his hand. The Bronze Immutable Token flew towards Astral Monarch Xue Ying, who caught it effortlessly.

"Wu Yuan, this is the treasure the Eldritch Sovereign prepared for you. Catch," Xue Ying opened his palm, revealing a sphere of intense emerald light. It radiated an overwhelmingly powerful aura that made even Wu Yuan feel slightly threatened.

The fist-sized emerald sphere floated toward Wu Yuan, hovering in front of him before he swiftly stored it away.

"Wu Yuan, now that I’ve delivered the treasure to you, my task is complete. I'll take my leave," Xue Ying said with a smile.

"I've instructed the Archimmortals and Archeldritches here to let you meditate in this hall for the next few days. They'll notify you when Astral Monarch Huo Cang arrives."

"If you need anything, you can contact me directly through the eldritch voidrealm. I’ve granted you the corresponding permissions," Xue Ying added.

"Thank you for your trouble, Astral Monarch," Wu Yuan bowed slightly.

Though their statuses were similar in theory, Wu Yuan knew that true power was what mattered. He was, after all, just an Amethyst Cradle cultivator. Humility was crucial.

With that, Astral Monarch Xue Ying's form gradually merged with space until he completely vanished, leaving Wu Yuan alone in the vast hall.

Left alone in the vast hall, Wu Yuan exhaled and flew to the far end of the chamber, plopping down on the steps beneath the throne.

Master's visit was likely due to my exceptional performance. Wu Yuan mused inwardly. Directing me to the path of the Life Dao?

The Life Dao, a Greater Law. The path was indeed incredible, but throughout the endless ages of the macrocosm, countless peerless geniuses had been born, yet none had walked it to completion in one go.

I'll have to work hard, taking it step by step. Master sees potential in me. In terms of Dao comprehension talent, Dao Heart, and soul, I excel in every aspect. I must give it my all. Wu Yuan resolved.

At this, Wu Yuan smiled again. As his strength and talent grew, he could feel that the level of care and attention he was receiving also grew.

First, Wu Yuan could study and comprehend the partial Longevity Dao essence, accelerating his comprehension of the Longevity Dao.

Second, when channeling power through it during the process of casting arcane arts, significantly less mana was consumed while the potency of the arcane art increased noticeably.

Very practical. Wu Yuan thought. Previously, to cast arcane arts, I had to commune with the ethereal Dao essence and expend vast amounts of mana.

Wu Yuan's excitement grew. But with this Myriad Woods Dao Treasure, even my basic arcane arts might rival those cast by Void Refiner Eminences wielding formidable spirion equipment.

And as my comprehension deepens, the power of this Myriad Woods Dao Treasure will continue to grow. Thus, the mana saved can be used to maintain my sword array for longer periods. Wu Yuan concluded, feeling a surge of confidence.

The Myriad Woods Dao Treasure held great auxiliary value even for Archimmortals. For Wu Yuan at his current level, its worth was immeasurable.

Three billion ethercrystal laurels for a Myriad Woods Dao Treasure? A worthwhile exchange. Wu Yuan deemed the transaction more than favorable.

This Dao treasure would serve Wu Yuan well into his Earth Immortal phase, perhaps even to the High Immortal phase.

I must keep this secret. Wu Yuan cautioned himself. If word gets out, even Archimmortals might be tempted. Dao treasures can only be obtained through luck.

Wu Yuan calmed his mind and began to contemplate the Myriad Woods Dao Treasure.

Progress was slow. After all, Wu Yuan had only just grasped the True Intent of Longevity, barely scratching the surface of the complete Law of Longevity.

A single Dao treasure could take an Archimmortal tens of thousands of years to fully comprehend, so Wu Yuan harbored no illusions of quick mastery. He simply hoped to glean as much insight as possible. This process of study was, in itself, a form of cultivation for Wu Yuan.

...

As Wu Yuan cultivated quietly within the Blood Eldritch Temple, a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Hmm? Suddenly, the thread of consciousness Wu Yuan's qi refiner self had left in his personal hall within the eldritch voidrealm received a message. His eyes lit up. The list of treasures needed for my lifebound flying swords’ evolution.

This was what Master Kua Chi had promised him earlier.

Swiftly, Wu Yuan's avatar within the eldritch voidrealm selected the virtual immortal slip that had appeared before him.

A light screen projection materialized, displaying a wealth of information about various treasures.

It included their names, quantities required, visual representations, and the order in which they should be refined. It was extremely complex.

The perfect evolution of a lifebound flying sword was no simple task. The leap from first-grade spirit equipment to spirion equipment represented a monumental threshold.

This list was the result of countless eons of experimentation within the Cang Feng Eldritch World, representing the optimal evolution pathway.

So many rare materials, and so expensive. Wu Yuan muttered to himself as he perused the list, calculating the costs and feeling the pressure mount.

Nine swords! In total, it will cost 1,200 divine crystals? The figure was astronomical. It seemed excessive for the transformation of first-grade spirit equipment into spirion equipment. Even many High Immortals would find it hard to afford such an expense.

When I return to the Eternal Sun Immortal World, I'll need to find a way to sell off all my previous spoils of war. Wu Yuan decided.

Despite over a decade of slaughtering enemies on the battlefield and defeating numerous Void Refiner/Elysian Field powerhouses, the truly valuable items he obtained were few.

The real prizes he obtained came from the final battle, where he had slain over twenty Immortal Hall prodigies, each possessing a trove of precious artifacts.

As Wu Yuan pondered which treasures to keep and which to sell, a message from the Blood Eldritch Temple interrupted his thoughts: "Young Master Ming Jian, Astral Monarch Huo Cang has arrived at the Blood Eldritch Temple. Please come to the main hall immediately."

Astral Monarch Huo Cang had arrived.
