Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 404 Myriad Lotus Lanterns

However, sea charts and magical artifacts that can increase the strength of the clan are what the giant wolf clan lacks most at the moment.

"Okay! I agree! But what I need is the most detailed nautical chart!"

The giant wolf king agreed, "Let's go! Human, I'll take you to get the fruit!"

"it is good!"

Li Yunjing nodded, quite surprised by the giant wolf king's actions.

Unexpectedly, this demon king was so magnanimous that he didn't even inspect the goods first, but directly offered to take me to see the "Crimson Sun Fruit Tree".

Is this integrity?

Or is it that their strength is so formidable that they are not afraid of robbing the giant wolf clan on a whim?
However, Li Yunjing really had no intention of robbing anyone.

Since the giant wolf king in front of him was so frank, he, a human, couldn't possibly be outdone by him, could he?
Soon, led by the giant wolf clan, Li Yunjing entered a valley.

He sensed hundreds of powerful auras around him!

These are all giant wolves from the giant wolf clan!

In the center of the valley, led by the giant wolf king, Li Yunjing finally saw the "Red Sun Fruit Tree".

The "Red Sun Fruit Tree" was a full three zhang tall, fiery red all over, with ten bright red, fist-sized fruits hanging on its branches.

Each fruit glows with a fiery red light, smells incredibly fragrant, and is full of vitality; it is truly the "Red Sun Fruit"!
"How about it? Human, as long as you hand over the spirit artifact and the sea chart to me, I'll give you five 'Crimson Sun Fruits'!"

The giant wolf king said with a smile.

"Alright! Since you're so sincere, I'll show you that we humans keep our word!"

Without a second thought, Li Yunjing took out a "treasure bag" containing all the treasures he had plundered from the "Rhinoceros Clan": one hundred high-grade spiritual artifacts, ten top-grade spiritual artifacts, and a sea chart of the "Tianluo Dao Sect," which he then threw to the Giant Wolf King.

The giant wolf king opened his treasure pouch, examined it carefully, and confirmed that there were no problems.

"Very good! Here, have some fruit!"

With a swipe of its claws, the giant wolf king sent five "Crimson Sun Fruits" sliding down from the tree branch and flying towards Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing reached out and grabbed five "Red Sun Fruits," which landed steadily in his palm.

The warm touch from the "Red Sun Fruit" delighted him. The quality of these fruits was even better than he had expected, and each one contained a rich red sun power.

If several auxiliary spiritual materials are found, pills that can help with core formation can be refined.

Then, these pills can be given to my woman.

"Thank you, Giant Wolf King!"

Li Yunjing put away the "Crimson Sun Fruit," cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the Giant Wolf King, and spoke with a hint of sincerity in his voice.

"It doesn't matter!"

The giant wolf king waved his paw and said generously, "Human, since you have kept your promise, my giant wolf clan will not treat you unfairly. However, I have one more request."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's heart stirred, and he asked, "Giant Wolf King, please speak. If it is within my power, I will certainly help you."

The cooperation with this giant wolf king has been quite pleasant. Li Yunjing wants to see what kind of help this demon king needs!
The Giant Wolf King nodded and said in a deep voice, "If you find a spiritual object called the 'Dragon Blood Ancient Tree' in the outside world, I can guarantee that you will receive benefits ten times more valuable than this 'Dragon Blood Ancient Tree'!"

"Dragon Blood Ancient Tree?"

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Li Yunjing had never heard of such a spiritual object. It seemed that he would need to investigate it when he returned to his sect.
"Okay! I'll investigate later!"

Li Yunjing nodded in agreement. In any case, this kind of thing was just a matter of luck. If they really found the "Dragon Blood Ancient Tree", then they could talk about it later.

"Very good! You must believe me! The benefits you can gain from obtaining the 'Dragon Blood Ancient Tree' are far greater than if you kept it!"

The giant wolf king nodded repeatedly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

The "Dragon Blood Ancient Tree" grows on the mainland and not in the ocean. Li Yunjing, as a human, may have the opportunity to go to the mainland and obtain it.

As for the "Giant Wolf Clan," they simply have no way to leave the East China Sea!

The surrounding area is full of various races. If the giant wolf king leaves, their race will probably be wiped out by other races.

This is an unacceptable result!
The Giant Wolf King must stay!
Having reached a deal with the Giant Wolf King, Li Yunjing successfully left the "Island of Ten Thousand Demons." The Giant Wolf King was truly honest and didn't make things difficult for him.

However, through his conversation with the Giant Wolf King, he learned that there were three Nascent Soul Realm demon kings on "Ten Thousand Demon Island".

This frightened Li Yunjing so much that he immediately chose to leave.

He cursed the "Tianluo Dao Sect" in his heart again.

After leaving "Ten Thousand Demon Island", the journey was very smooth.

This is the territory of a Nascent Soul Realm demon king. Within a radius of 100,000 li, there are no other demon kings causing trouble nearby.

After traveling only 100,000 li, Li Yunjing encountered danger again on his return journey.

Countless sea creatures surrounded him, blocking Li Yunjing's path once again.

The sea is fraught with danger, and every step is fraught with peril.

Seeing that the sea was teeming with fish demons, which leaped out of the water and attacked the "Azure Cloud Boat," the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" on the "Azure Cloud Boat" opened fire.

Relentless hunting; it's either you or me who dies!

Li Yunjing had to fight his way through a road, take a long detour, and return to "Sacred Sound Island" from a direction far away from the "Rhino Clan".

Not long after, having dealt with the monsters, Li Yunjing finally returned to the sea area of ​​the "Holy Sound Sect".

It took Li Yunjing more than half a year to complete this one round.

In the past six months, the "Holy Sound Sect" has finally quelled the beast tide.

Li Yunjing returned to "Sacred Sound Island" and found that "Star Moon Trading Company" on the island had not been affected.

This put him in a good mood.

After helping Ma Xingyuan refine another batch of supplies, Li Yunjing boarded the "Qingyun Boat" and returned to "Shenxiao Island".

Once you arrive at "Shenxiao Island," it's your own territory, and you're completely safe.

After a year away from home, he gave Xing'er and Yue'er a good comforting speech, making the two girls look radiant, before announcing to the outside world that he was going into seclusion.

Having obtained a valuable treasure from the "Rhinoceros Clan," Li Yunjing is prepared to take the time to open it and take a look!

His secluded training room was equipped with an extremely powerful array.

Only after making sure that not a trace of the aura would spread did Li Yunjing feel somewhat relieved.

He took out the huge jade box, which resembled a coffin, and placed it on the ground.

Li Yunjing circled the jade box, observing it closely, searching for a way to break the restriction.

The jade box has a warm, milky white color, and its surface is covered with complex runes, giving it an ancient and mysterious aura.

The jade box was no ordinary object; otherwise, the "rhinoceros clan" would not have regarded it as a treasure.

"These runes... seem to be ancient restriction techniques."

Li Yunjing muttered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

Although he had studied formations and restrictions, the runes in front of him were somewhat troublesome.

"Strange! This is really strange!"

Li Yunjing circled the jade box a few times, gently stroking the runes on its surface with his palm, trying to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy within.

These runes seemed to be isolated by some force; as soon as his palm touched them, they were bounced back.

"It's really not that simple!"

Li Yunjing pondered to himself, then took out an ancient book from his storage ring and quickly began to read it.

This ancient book contains the third-order array and restriction inheritance of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
After some research, Li Yunjing finally found a record similar to the jade box runes on a page of an ancient book.

He read them carefully and discovered that these runes were an ancient restriction called the "Nine Revolutions Sealing Spirit Array," which was specifically used to seal extremely important treasures.

To break this formation, a specific method is needed to activate the nine nodes in the runes in sequence in order to open the jade box.

“'Nine Revolutions Sealing Spirit Array'... No wonder the 'Rhino Clan' has been unable to open it for so many years.”

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.

The "Nine Revolutions Sealing Spirit Array" is a top-tier fourth-order array!

The treasure sealed inside this jade box is protected by a top-tier fourth-order formation, making it no ordinary item.

This must be at least a fourth-tier treasure!

"It seems difficult for me to solve this on my own! But I'm unwilling to hand it over to the sect!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and began to carefully activate the nodes in the runes according to the records in the ancient book.

Each time a node is activated, the runes on the surface of the jade box light up, emitting a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy. As each node is activated, the runes on the surface of the jade box become brighter and brighter, and the entire jade box begins to tremble slightly.

However, the next moment, Li Yunjing failed.

The Nine Revolutions Spirit Sealing Array is too difficult to break!

The records of the "Shenxiao Daozong" only contain a general outline and no actual solution!
This left Li Yunjing quite perplexed!
This research lasted for six months, and a strand of white hair appeared at Li Yunjing's temples.

"Ugh……"

Li Yunjing let out a long sigh. It was really too difficult.

Prematurely gray hair!

It's easy to imagine how much effort Li Yunjing put in!

Array mastery is one of the most challenging professions.

Through six months of research, Li Yunjing's mastery of array formations has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is now capable of setting up top-tier second-order arrays!
Even some lower-middle-level third-tier formations can be easily broken.

"How to do it?"

Li Yunjing scratched his hair violently, almost going crazy.

At this moment, anyone from the outside world would be astonished to see Li Yunjing!
At this moment, this once elegant and handsome man now had white hair, a messy beard, and bloodshot eyes, looking like a gambler who had lost everything!
"Fuck you!"

Li Yunjing cursed loudly and slammed his palm heavily on the forbidden area.

"Om..."

The runes on the surface of the jade box suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and the entire jade box emitted a deep hum, making a series of "click-click-click" sounds before slowly opening.

"no?"

"what's the situation?"

"I've been studying this for half a year and haven't gotten anywhere. I could only open a few joints. Now, I can just slap one of my palms and it'll be opened like a fucking thing?"

Li Yunjing was dumbfounded. His voice was hoarse, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

Where did he press his fingers just now?

It should be noted that there are 365 points on the entire jade box. Li Yunjing managed to solve five of them with his own strength, but he couldn't solve the others.

As a result, the last four were opened just like that?
What Li Yunjing didn't know was that this wasn't luck!

Rather, it's because this jade box has existed for too long!

It has been a full million years!

What kind of restrictions can last for such a long period of time?

It's already quite remarkable that this jade box is intact!

Li Yunjing spent half a year tinkering with the seal, applying pressure time and time again to break through it, but many of the runes within the seal could no longer hold on.

The protective spell on the jade box has been broken.

Instantly, cracks appeared all over the huge jade box. This treasure had shattered completely under the power of time and was about to turn into dust.

"how is this possible?"

Li Yunjing had no idea what was going on. He stared blankly at everything in front of him, holding his breath, trying to uncover the secrets of this place.

As the jade box shattered, a "lotus lamp" appeared.

The entire "Lotus Lamp" is purple-gold in color and was made from "Purple Moon Divine Stone". It is shaped like a lotus flower.

The base was black, and when Li Yunjing looked at it, he recognized it as the familiar "Taiyin Black Stone"!
The lamp holder is shaped like a lotus flower, and the area where the wick is located is completely red, formed from some unknown condensation, and has a faint fragrance emanating from it.

The wick, like an upright whip, stood quietly, dim and without light.

This "lotus lantern" is too big.

The enormous "lotus lamp," comparable in size to a small building, left Li Yunjing somewhat dumbfounded.

"This is... an ancient magic lamp?"

Li Yunjing was startled. He touched the "lotus lamp" and felt a chill sweep over his entire body.

"boom!"

As the chill entered his body, a booming sound filled Li Yunjing's mind, and countless images flashed before his eyes.

Every scene seems to be filled with mystery.

The desolate ancient landscape, mountains and lakes, mysterious palaces, vast altars, a primitive human race, bizarre and ferocious beasts, and even the universe and galaxies.
"What exactly is this 'lotus lamp'?!"

Li Yunjing was horrified and quickly circulated his magic power to calm himself down.

"Thorn..."

Li Yunjing slashed open his own chest, and a bloody sword shot out, landing on the "lotus lamp".

"Boom!"

The lotus lamp was nourished by Li Yunjing's heart's blood, and its wick lit up, filling the entire secluded chamber with light!
If Li Yunjing hadn't set up the formation in advance, the strange phenomenon here would probably have spread throughout "Shenxiao Island" long ago!
"I see……"

Li Yunjing muttered to himself, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.

This "lotus lantern" is named "All Things Lotus Lantern"!
It was forged by a powerful being named "Wanxiang Daoren" in ancient times.

The "Myriad Lotus Lanterns" contain the Daoist's lifelong insights into the Great Dao. If one can thoroughly comprehend them, one's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

This lamp is of a very high grade, no less than his "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror".

"I never expected to obtain another ancient treasure!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed, knowing that he had struck gold this time.

By using blood sacrifice to slowly refine the divine lamp, Li Yunjing's divine sense made contact with the "Myriad Manifestations Lotus Lamp." The enormous "Myriad Manifestations Lotus Lamp" gradually shrank, becoming a small lamp the size of a palm.

"An ancient treasure. With my current cultivation level, I can't even unleash one percent of its power. But I will eventually be able to use it in the future!"

A hint of confidence flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.

"Currently, I possess five great treasures: the Yin-Yang Mirror, the Myriad Lotus Lantern, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword, the Five Dragon Wheel, and the Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal! However, I still need one more great treasure to unleash my Three Heads and Six Arms Great Divine Power!"

As he played with the "Lotus Lantern of Myriad Images," Li Yunjing fell into deep thought.

The other treasures were all used as transitional magical artifacts by Li Yunjing, while these five were the truly valuable items.

What kind of treasure are we going to forge with the missing piece?
Li Yunjing remained silent for a moment. He still had one auxiliary magic weapon, the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace," but this treasure had no offensive power, which did not satisfy him!
Moreover, in Li Yunjing's opinion, a top-tier alchemy furnace of the second rank was somewhat inadequate.

Perhaps a third-tier, all-in-one offensive and defensive alchemy furnace would be more suitable?
With this idea in mind, Li Yunjing had a clear goal: to upgrade his "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace" into a treasure artifact through re-refinement!

After careful consideration, Li Yunjing made up his mind!

"Upgrading the 'Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace' requires top-notch craftsmanship, which I'm afraid I'm not up to the task!"

Li Yunjing thought about it carefully and found it difficult to make a move.

The alchemy furnace, a magical artifact, is even more difficult to forge than a weapon.

If the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" is so difficult to forge, let alone this "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace"!
"The alchemy furnace is very useful! It can be used for refining weapons and alchemy! In battle, it can be used to smash people, trap people, and even refine people!"

With many thoughts in mind, Li Yunjing took out his spoils and began to take stock of the supplies. He needed to prepare all the upgrade materials for the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace".

As for weapon crafting?

Li Yunjing made a decision: he would ask Fu Lingfeng for help!
He had to pay a huge price to have the head of the "Heavenly Crafts Hall" personally craft the most perfect and exquisite treasure.

After Li Yunjing had prepared everything, he carefully placed the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace" and many other materials into a "storage bracelet".

"Judging by the time, there's not much time left before Master Liehuo's mission is completed. I need to refine my weapon, but I can only do so after the mission is finished!"

Li Yunjing's heart stirred, and he immediately tidied himself up, regained his composure, and left the secluded cultivation room.

He would need to spend some time dealing with matters related to the "Star Moon Merchant Guild" before finally going to the "Divine Firmament Branch Temple" to await an audience with the Fiery Immortal.

After clearing the customs, Li Yunjing was in a great mood!

The six great treasures will soon be complete!
If Li Yunjing were to unleash his "Three Heads and Six Arms Great Supernatural Power," it would likely shock everyone.

This supernatural ability is Li Yunjing's trump card!

With the help of numerous magical treasures, Li Yunjing can guarantee that he has a good chance of killing a Golden Core Realm Level 3 cultivator in one fell swoop!

"Brother Yun Jing! You've emerged from seclusion!"

Xing'er saw Li Yunjing and greeted him with a smile.

"Hmm! You're out of seclusion! You two should focus on your cultivation these next few days, and don't waste too much time on the shop's miscellaneous items."

Li Yunjing looked at Xing'er and Yue'er. The two girls' cultivation hadn't improved much, so he couldn't help but say a few words of advice.
