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

Chapter 197 Golden Dragon Spear
"This Five Elements Spirit Clan is truly my blessed land!"

He swallowed a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator of the Earth Spirit Clan, who had been transformed from Xi Tu, and mastered the last divine ability of the Great Five Elements Technique.

However, after mastering this technique, Xiao Wuji did not leave the Crystal Palace, because her continuous hunting of the Five Elements Spirit Clan over the years had alarmed many Nascent Soul stage experts.

If it were just one, he might be able to put up a fight with the fully mastered Five Elements Technique, but with a dozen or so, he should probably give up.

However, once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, he can give it a try; at the very least, he can still escape.

Thinking this, Xiao Wuji rubbed his hands together and looked at the several bottles of Tribulation Lightning Liquid on the shelf not far away.

This substance is formed from pure lightning power. Even if one consumes it directly, it can increase one's cultivation level. However, whether one can break through to the Nascent Soul realm is another matter.

However, if it is refined into a Tribulation Pill, then that's a different story...

Outside Tianyuan City!

A blur of white light flashed by, and Xiao Wuji appeared directly 300,000 kilometers away from Tianyuan City. It seemed extremely far, but it wasn't actually close. Such a long-distance teleportation was a considerable burden for Xiao Wuji.

After taking two pills, Xiao Wuji's complexion regained its rosy hue, and he was already eager to test the power of the magic weapon in his hand.

Besides the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, Xiao Wuji also obtained another divine weapon he had long desired from his mount, the Silver Dragon King—the Golden Dragon Spear!
This is a special artifact because it can devour the life force of living beings. This life force cannot be used to strengthen the artifact itself, but it can be used to nourish the metal of living beings, allowing the metal of living beings to grow continuously.

In this way, he will never lack the gold for living beings. He can add a little to alchemy, a little to weapon forging, and so on, however he wants.

Therefore, Xiao Wuji valued the Golden Dragon Spear even more than the Heavenly Sacred Rift Halberd.

However, the Golden Dragon Spear faces the same situation as the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd: its material is too poor. How could a mere small plane possibly nurture a powerful magic weapon?

Therefore, in order to enhance the strength of his weapon, Xiao Wuji reluctantly incorporated a fist-sized piece of black gold with dragon patterns into the Golden Dragon Spear. As for the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, he only incorporated a piece of Silver Moon Divine Jade the size of an adult's arm.

Although "he" had mastered the Origin Heaven Book and possessed a considerable collection, top-tier materials like this were still extremely rare among Xiao Wuji's inventory.

The Nine Heavens Divine Jade is somewhat better, but as for Immortal Gold, all that's left are a few pieces of Feathered Azure Gold obtained from the Thirty-Three Heavens Small World of the Feathered Divine Dynasty and Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold that records the "Undying Heavenly Emperor Scripture".

However, it was all worth it. Once the Life Gold matured, he could begin refining pills like crazy.

As for now, he wants to first go and cause trouble for the ancient giants. The giants are known for their strong vitality, they are plentiful and satisfying, one of them is equivalent to several.

Traces of ancient giants are not uncommon in the wilderness, but they are not easy to find if you are really looking for them with a purpose, because these guys don't have a fixed place to live, they don't even have a concept of race, and their intelligence is pitifully low.

However, this did not prevent Xiao Wuji from testing the gun with other ancient beasts in advance.

The golden spear shaft was over five meters long, with a lifelike black dragon pattern coiled around it. The blade was also about two meters long, accounting for more than a third of the entire shaft. The spear was almost twice the length of Xiao Wuji.

To master this tool, Xiao Wuji even studied the marksmanship of several lifetimes during the simulation. Although he didn't achieve enlightenment, he reached a state of harmony between heaven and man. Every move he made was imbued with the power of heaven and earth. Now that the simulator had no time limit, his speed of enlightenment was getting faster and faster. Except for some worlds where he couldn't easily attain immortality, in other worlds, "he" was always committed to living to the end of time.

Unfortunately, without the blessing of a treasure for enlightenment, his comprehension is far too limited. In addition, the laws of the Great Dao in some worlds are incomplete, so he has not yet mastered any complete Dao.

The Golden Dragon Spear transformed into a golden dragon that circled around Xiao Wuji, appearing extremely excited. Xiao Wuji understood this, as he was the only one in this world who possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King.

After glancing at the magnificent body of the Golden Dragon Spear, Xiao Wuji's eyes lit up. He took out a piece of living gold the size of a pigeon's egg, forged it into a thin iron chain, and wrapped it around the end of the spear.

Then, his eyes flashed with lightning, and he quickly found a target he liked. Xiao Wuji used his spear as a lance and threw it.

……

On a rocky hillside, a pangolin leisurely extends its long, thin tongue into its burrow.

This is the nest of a group of crystal ants. These crystal ants are as pale yellow as rock candy, and they look unusually translucent, unlike flesh and blood. They are only the size of an adult's thumb.

However, it would be a grave mistake to underestimate the strength of these crystal ants because of this.

Unlike ordinary spirit ants, which are individually weak, these crystal ants are not only numerous and live in clusters, but most of them can grow to the level of a Core Formation cultivator. Their defense is so strong that even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator would find it difficult to break through, and the queen ant can even grow to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, they possess a pair of serrated teeth capable of chewing up magical treasures, so the magical treasures of ordinary Core Formation cultivators are nothing more than delicious snacks in their eyes.

However, these ants pose little threat to cultivators, so much so that cultivators traveling for training generally don't take them seriously, because they can't fly and can't jump very high. Therefore, even some Qi Refining stage cultivators who can fly don't consider them a threat; as long as they use their divine sense to scan before landing, they can easily avoid them.

However, these powerful crystal ants have become snacks in the mouths of the pangolin-like monsters. With a flick of its long, thin tongue, it can pick up quite a few crystal ants.

The crystal ants' prized sharp teeth couldn't even scratch that incredibly elastic tongue, and their prized crystal armor was utterly unable to withstand the corrosive effects of saliva. It practically melted in their mouths.

The pangolin monster was secretly delighted. Consuming these crystal ants regularly would make its scales more beautiful and robust, so it would come here for a feast almost every few years.

Just as it was about to finish eating, a golden light suddenly shot out from a distance. Although it hadn't even gotten close yet, it already felt a sharp pain as if it had been cut.

It could sense that the shot was aimed at it, and out of instinct, it curled up into a ball, its hard scales protecting its body.

But then a sharp pain shot through it, and it could no longer move.

A few minutes later, Xiao Wuji rushed over, raised his hand to recall his Golden Dragon Spear, took off the Living Gold Chain from the end of the spear, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and finally revealed a satisfied smile.

"As expected of an ancient beast comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, its vitality is truly powerful. If I had three or five more, I could refine an eighth-grade pill!"

"However, we still need to get our hands on 'Elder Yao's' Spirit Ascension Secret Technique. Only in this way can we make better use of this item."
