I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 183 Alien Race
After returning to his private chamber and announcing his seclusion, Xiao Wuji hurriedly returned to his spatial birdcage and made his final choice.

From the outside, the Six Desires Furnace looks like a palm-sized, three-legged, two-eared, five-colored medicine cauldron. It's not very big, after all, this furnace was forged from the Five-Colored Heavenly Blade of the Heavenly Emperor's son, so how could it be large?

Even without anyone activating it, this Six Desires Furnace can slowly absorb spiritual energy from the outside world to nourish itself, definitely containing the presence of a deity. Its exact level will likely only be known after he refines it; after all, he's not some random emperor who knows everything…

……

"It was forged when you were at the Saint level, so it should be called a Saint Weapon!"

Xiao Wuji looked at the scrolls of deduction insights inside the Six Desires Furnace but ultimately found no finished products. Based on these alone, he could judge the level of the Six Desires Furnace.

"It's a pity that the 'Burning Technique' hasn't been integrated into the 'Six Desires Heavenly Art' yet. It seems I'll have to put in more effort next time!"

"However, the refining method of the Goddess Furnace has been incorporated into this Six Desires Furnace, and some of the Dao from the Goddess Furnace has been imprinted on it. In this way, even if I don't use the Great Salvation Technique, I can avoid the problem of my harem going to fire!"

As Xiao Wuji sensed the various mysteries within the Six Desires Furnace, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart Pendant, Enlightenment Tea Tree Coffin, Divine Jade Sword, 'Immortal Emperor Scripture,' Beauty Painting... wait, there are still a few beauties here..."

Xiao Wuji stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the Divine Silkworm Princess lying dead in the Divine Source. But it seemed that "he" hadn't let her out since he put her in, right? So it seemed quite normal for her to be in the furnace, right?

"Forget it, let's just seal her away for now. Her strength is probably enough to kill me with a single slap! Besides, even the Bone Regeneration and Blood Fusion Pill might not be enough to save her!"

This Divine Silkworm Princess is at least at the Saint realm, and compared to the cultivation system of this world, she's at least at the True Immortal realm, and her combat power would be even higher. She's simply someone he can't afford to offend right now.

After reading about Princess Divine Silkworm Xiao Wuji, he rolled over and lay down in the coffin of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, then calmly read the "Immortal Emperor Scripture".

He had already tried to cultivate the Heaven-Covering Technique, but no matter how he tried, he could only sense his dantian. There was no such thing as the Sea of ​​Bitterness or the Wheel of Fate, so naturally he could not cultivate it.

Moreover, scriptures of great emperors or sages like these require a combination of supernatural powers and cultivation techniques to unleash their full power. Therefore, Xiao Wuji could only glean insights into the Dao of these great emperors through cultivation techniques. After all, he didn't possess an imperial weapon; otherwise, he could have simply studied imperial weapons, as the Dao and principles they contained directly pointed to the Great Dao.

However, even just reading the scriptures was incredibly beneficial to Xiao Wuji. It was a pity that the Undying Emperor primarily cultivated the Path of Nirvana, not the Path of Fire. Otherwise, its effects on him would have been even greater.

After putting down the "Immortal Emperor Scripture," Xiao Wuji began to study the "Taoist Scripture" and other Great Emperor scriptures. Although he could only understand a small part of them at his current level, it was still a great gain for him.

After finishing the ancient texts, Xiao Wuji began to examine the remaining treasures on the ground. Some of the special items had their origins and uses clearly marked beforehand, which made his examination much easier...

"The Nine Heavens Divine Jade Sword was forged using nine kinds of Nine Heavens Divine Jade. Although each kind was used in small quantities, it was still Nine Heavens Divine Jade!"

"The Mirror Sacred Weapon was taken from a centipede in the Immortal Abode's small world..."

"Hiss~ So many sources..."

"Thirty-three World Stones, these belong to the Feathered Divine Dynasty..."

"It's fortunate that the corpse of a Saint-level God-Slaying Insect is sealed away, otherwise I probably wouldn't even have a chance to get close. These God-Slaying Insects are much better..."

"And this bell, it also came from the Immortal Abode Small World, and it has been repaired..."

"Huh? There are even sacred weapons? From an ancient royal family. No wonder there are so many; some of them have been shattered!"

"The semi-sacred weapon bow and the powerful weapon arrows, I like this..."

"Ah, this is mutton fat jade divine iron, and oh, this is also a piece of great Luo silver essence..."

"I wonder what realm the dual cultivation puppet in this painting of beauties was in life, but we'll find out if we try."

"But why does it feel a little uncomfortable to engage in illicit relations with a male bird's skin?"

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Xiao Wuji felt a chill run down his spine. The scroll was held on white jade at both ends, and when opened, it depicted nine lifelike beauties. You could even feel their body temperature and elasticity when you placed your hand on it, just like a normal person.

He closed the scroll and placed it back on a shelf made of spirit wood. Then, he casually picked up various miscellaneous books next to him and began to read them.

"The Origin Book? It's a bit profound, but it seems to have some similarities to the Celestial Feng Shui Technique. I'll look at it later..."

"Array patterns? This is not bad, it can enrich my knowledge of arrays. Hmm? Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns? They even have this kind of thing..."

"The Domain Gate and the Jade Platform are also very promising..."

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree seedlings will consume my already limited supply of Nine Yang Holy Water again. What a happy problem..."

"No, this Origin Heavenly Book requires studying various dragon veins and terrains to cultivate; it must be given to the second primordial spirit to learn..."

……

Beneath the Blazing Light Pool, inside the Crystal Palace.

Xiao Wuji was currently refining the over three-hundred-foot-long azure spirit sandstone rod. This thing was simply enormous, and contained many impurities. Refining such a large rod was a massive undertaking; the refining process alone would take at least three to five months. This was under the condition that he had cultivated the Crimson Emperor Fire Qi; other cultivators might not have been able to refine it even in several years. Unlike the Luoyang Crystal, which only took three to five days from start to finish—after all, he wasn't refining some kind of heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Xiao Wuji planned to refine the staff slightly, then incorporate some materials and refine it into the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain. The weight of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain was sufficient to deal with opponents at the Nascent Soul level, but it would be somewhat ineffective against those with higher cultivation levels.

"what?"

The communication jade tablet vibrated, and Xiao Wuji only spared some attention to look at it. The message was sent by the main body and was not an important message, but it was still quite important.

"The Source Book? Is it trying to get me to dig up graves? Or is it trying to get me to prospect for mineral veins?"

Just as he was pondering the original's intentions, he suddenly felt that many of the paper figures he had placed outside had been destroyed. He immediately extinguished the flames in his hand and quietly waited for the traitor of the artifact spirit race to be captured.

"coming!"

After waiting for a short while, Xiao Wuji noticed the unusual movement in the pool and realized that the delivery had arrived!

Xiao Wuji left the Crystal Palace, then concealed his presence and waited for the delivery to arrive.

Before long, he saw a gaunt spirit descend towards the bottom of the pool. At first glance, the person looked like an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the body was actually an illusion, just like his own.

Upon seeing Xiao Wuji, a human, at the bottom of the pool, they were terrified and immediately stopped. There were wolves above and tigers below. What should they do?
"Oh? It's just a small bowl."

A burst of blue light shot out from Xiao Wuji's eyes, and he immediately saw its true form: a light blue jade bowl, the purpose of which he did not know.

Xiao Wuji raised an eyebrow and flicked his finger to produce a small, gray mountain. This mountain was none other than the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain. After mastering the Great Five Elements Technique, he could easily suppress the power of the five elements, and mastering the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light was also a piece of cake for him.

As the dim light shone down, the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain pressed down, and the artifact spirit race was instantly reduced to its original form by Xiao Wuji.

These artifact spirits are filled with all sorts of refining materials, and his Yuan Magnetic Divine Light is simply their natural counter.

"The Yin Sha Soul-Sealing Coffin!"

The Yin energy transformed into a small, pitch-black coffin, which directly sealed the spirit of the artifact.

After putting the coffin away, Xiao Wuji moved and flew outside.

"Why does this Blazing Light Pool look different from the legends? Where did all that blazing light go?"

There were more than a dozen people gathered around the pool, and it seemed that two of them were in charge.

"Oh? Even Lord Lan doesn't know the reason?" A young woman in palace attire asked with some surprise, after all, the closest people to this place were humans.

The Blue City Lord's expression darkened, and he said, "Why don't you go down and investigate, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

The young woman in palace attire was taken aback, but after glancing at the monk beside the Blue City Lord and the several Nascent Soul cultivators, she chuckled softly.

"If you hadn't come, I might have taken people in! But since Brother Lan is here, the opportunity should naturally be given to you. You wouldn't really want a weak woman to go down there, would you? Besides, I've long heard that you possess a Water-Repelling Jade Rhinoceros Horn, which is incredibly magical and might be very useful for entering the Blazing Light Pool."

"Let me go, fine. You take the rest of the others and leave Chaos Valley immediately. I'll go down now." The Blue City Lord's tone suddenly became extremely harsh.

The young woman in palace attire's expression changed slightly upon hearing the city lord's impolite words. After letting out a cold snort, she fell silent.

Thump!
A splash of water rang out, drawing everyone's attention. A figure had broken through the surface of the water and emerged from the pool.

Seeing that a human had flown out, and there was no sign of the Artifact Spirit Clan cultivators, he immediately asked in surprise, "Who are you? Why are you here? Where are the Artifact Spirit Clan members?"

On the other hand, although the Blue City Lord had the same doubts, he did not ask questions immediately. For some reason, he felt that this person's figure was somewhat familiar.

Faced with the woman's question, Xiao Wuji immediately frowned and said, "Are you questioning me?"

"I haven't even asked you all what you want to do by surrounding my secluded place?"

"Could it be that you intend to take my life while I'm in seclusion?"

The city lord felt that this person looked strangely familiar, and he also had a very dangerous feeling about him, as if he were facing Senior Huang Liang. Therefore, he said in a friendly manner, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter us. We are just chasing after an alien race!"

"Alien?"

Xiao Wuji glanced at the two of them and then said, "If you two came here for that guy from the Spirit Clan, then you can go back!"

"I've captured this person and am preparing to study him thoroughly!"
