I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

The two began to systematically sweep through the underground palace.

Thousands of jade slips, tens of thousands of bottles of ancient elixirs, and mountains of alchemy materials were categorized and packed into storage bags.

Having done all this, Su Yu stopped at the very center of the underground palace.

He looked up at the bronze alchemy furnace that was tens of feet tall.

"The Furnace of Creation of All Things"

Su Yu read out the ancient seal characters engraved on the edge of the cauldron, his eyes flickering slightly.

Standing to the side, Mu Qingxue followed Su Yu's gaze.

When she sensed the aura emanating from the bronze alchemy furnace, her nerves, which had become numb from what she had seen along the way, were once again sharply pierced.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she even became extremely careful with her breathing.

That's neither a magic weapon nor a top-grade magic treasure.

That was a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure!

In the cultivation world of the Southern Wilderness, spiritual treasures are considered superior to magical treasures.

The Xuan Tian Ling Bao is a legendary supreme divine object that has nurtured a trace of the origin of the laws of heaven and earth and possesses its own consciousness.

This level of treasure is so powerful that it's impossible for even Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators to possess it.

Even those high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivators, if they heard even a hint of news about the birth of a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure...

They will not hesitate to tear off the mask of civility, and may even cause the destruction of the sect and rivers of blood.

What's even more terrifying is that Xuan Tian Ling Bao usually harbors an extremely powerful artifact spirit.

"Be careful!"

Mu Qingxue's expression changed, and she immediately spoke up to remind her.

"This is a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure. Once its spirit awakens, its sheer power alone can crush a Foundation Establishment cultivator. We must not act rashly!"

however.

Su Yu's steps did not falter at all.

He raised his hand and, quite naturally, reached out to touch the furnace body covered in ancient patina.

"You're insane!"

Mu Qingxue's face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively wanted to back away.

Once the spirit of the Xuan Tian Ling Bao is awakened by an outsider, the pressure it exerts is enough to instantly crush the Foundation Establishment cultivators in this underground palace into mincemeat.

however.

The expected cataclysmic spiritual pressure did not materialize.

The underground palace was eerily quiet.

"Buzz—"

The bronze alchemy furnace emitted a very clear, soft sound.

The intricate patterns on the stove body glowed with a gentle, bluish light.

Immediately afterwards, the furnace lid made a sound of a mechanism turning and slowly moved open a crack.

A ball of blue light, no bigger than a fist and seemingly without substance, slowly floated out from the furnace opening.

Mu Qingxue held her breath, her palms sweating profusely as she gripped the sword hilt.

However, the blue light did not show any aggression.

It circled Su Yu twice, as if it were looking him up or down, or perhaps it was sniffing out some scent.

Then, it landed directly in Su Yu's palm and rubbed against his fingers affectionately.

Mu Qingxue stood frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

This is a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure!

In the common knowledge of the cultivation world, magical artifacts of this level have spirits that are all arrogant and eccentric.

Without cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage or above to forcibly suppress it, or spending hundreds of years nurturing it with blood drops, it's impossible to get even half a step closer.

And now, this ball of light is like a newborn pet.

Su Yu looked at the ball of light in his palm and immediately understood what had happened.

The ancient Wanxiang Sect was destroyed countless years ago.

The original spirit of this Creation Furnace had long since vanished completely over the ages.

As the underground palace formation operated year after year, the ever-flowing earth vein energy gathered deep within the alchemy furnace, giving birth to a brand new artifact spirit.

It just so happens that it happened today.

Just then, Su Yu stepped forward and extended his hand.

The new spirit has completed the final step of its gestation and has emerged from its shell.

It has no memory, like a blank sheet of paper.

The first person I saw was Su Yu.

Thus, the recognition of God occurred in such a natural way.

There was no backlash, no test, and no rejection due to insufficient cultivation level.

The one in a billion chance of happening has actually happened.

With just a thought, Su Yu could completely control this Xuan Tian spiritual treasure through this newly born artifact spirit without any side effects.

His mind stirred slightly.

The bronze alchemy furnace, which was tens of feet tall, emitted a muffled sound.

The massive furnace body rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a delicate bronze furnace the size of a palm, which landed steadily in his left hand.

Mu Qingxue's red lips parted slightly, and she stood there like a frozen ice sculpture.

She suddenly remembered the records she had read in the sect's books.

Those demonic giants who left their infamous names in the history of the Southern Wilderness, or those rogue cultivators with extraordinary luck, all held in their hands nothing more than incomplete Xuan Tian spiritual treasures.

Even when using it, one must always be wary of the backlash from the magic weapon.

But the boy in front of me is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

They subdued a complete Xuan Tian spiritual treasure without any hindrance.

This luck is simply outrageous.

Su Yu ignored Mu Qingxue's stunned expression.

After the Creation Furnace shrank, the array eye position at the bottom of the original furnace became empty.

Several items, which had been nurtured by the residual heat of the furnace for many years, were exposed on the ground.

That was an object that an ancient alchemist casually placed in the center of the array to be tempered by the fire energy.

Now, after thousands of years, it has become a rare and precious thing.

Su Yu went over to take a look.

A piece of pitch-black ore, a ruler broken in half, and an ice-blue ring radiating an astonishing chill.

He picked up the ring.

It feels extremely cold to the touch, and its surface is engraved with extremely fine runes. Its magical energy fluctuations are stable and profound.

This is an unclaimed magic weapon from the Golden Core stage.

Su Yu turned around and casually tossed the ring to Mu Qingxue, who was still standing there.

"then."

Mu Qingxue instinctively reached out and caught it.

The icy touch came from her palm and instantly resonated with the profound Yin energy within her body.

"This is……"

Mu Qingxue looked at the ring in her hand, and her tone finally showed a slight change.

"An ice-type magic weapon for the Golden Core stage is a perfect match for your cultivation technique."

Su Yu spoke in a flat tone.

"I told you, I'm bringing you back to the Tian Shu Sect so that you'll have some self-defense skills."

Mu Qingxue gripped the ring tightly.

In the Taiyin Sect, only elders with real power can possess magic treasures at the Golden Core stage.

This saintess, in her daily life, only uses a top-grade flying sword at the Foundation Establishment stage.

He just casually tossed it to himself.

In addition to the pills given before and this magic weapon.

The opportunities she gained from this trip to the secret realm far exceeded the sum of her gains during her twenty years at the Taiyin Sect.

"What are you spacing out for?"

Su Yu swept the remaining ore and broken ruler into his storage bag, and also put away the palm-sized Creation Furnace.

With the removal of the largest bronze alchemy furnace, the core heritage treasure trove of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, which had been sealed for ten thousand years, was completely and utterly moved away by them.

Jade slips, elixirs, spiritual materials, and Xuan Tian spiritual treasures.

Su Yu didn't even spare the few spirit stones on the ground used to support the array's core.

Frugality and thrift are traditional Chinese virtues!

He dusted off his hands, checked the dozen or so storage bags hanging from his waist, and nodded in satisfaction.

The inheritance has been obtained, the treasure vault is empty, it's time to leave this folded space.

"Let's go."

Without lingering, Su Yu turned and walked towards a stone gate at the end of the underground palace.

Mu Qingxue snapped out of her daze, carefully put the ice-blue ring in her hand away, and quickly followed his retreating figure.

Meanwhile, thousands of talented individuals from various sects are fighting tooth and nail for petty gains.

Of course, these so-called petty gains are only relative to the core resources of the secret realm.

For these Foundation Establishment stage prodigies, whether it's a precious herb that's ten thousand years old or a few ancient treasures from the Golden Core stage that have lost their luster, it's all the same.

These are opportunities that are worth risking their lives for.

In order to compete for these treasures at the Golden Core level, they spared no effort, even burning their life essence and risking their lives.

Even if they only managed to snatch half a fragment of the jade slip, the survivors were overjoyed and extremely satisfied with their gains.

After all, with the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, it is possible to cross over and obtain the foundation left by a Golden Core expert.

This trip to the secret realm was an absolute steal, a huge harvest that could defy fate.

They clutched their storage bags with smug satisfaction, believing themselves to be the biggest winners in the secret realm.

Little did they know that the true core inheritance of the Myriad Manifestations Sect had long been completely wiped out.

Meanwhile, Su Yu and Mu Qingxue, who were inside the underground palace, had already reached the stone gate.

Behind the stone gate is a small directional teleportation array.

Su Yu stepped onto the array patterns of the teleportation array and took out several high-grade spirit stones to fill the array's core.

The teleportation array emitted a faint light.

Standing beside Su Yu, Mu Qingxue looked at the empty underground palace and recalled the experiences along the way, still feeling like she was in a dream.

When others enter this ancient secret realm, isn't it like walking on thin ice, with a life-or-death situation at their very last chance?

But for him, entering the perilous core palace of the Myriad Manifestations Sect was as easy as going back to his own backyard to get something.

There were no arrays to block the way, no trials to hinder the path, and even a casually kicked piece of gravel could reveal a top-grade jade slip underneath.

How can anyone in this world have everything go so smoothly?

It's practically like the favored son of Heaven.

"Could this be the chosen one?"

Mu Qingxue silently asked herself this question in her heart.

She suddenly realized that agreeing to go to the Tian Shu Sect with Su Yu might have been the best decision she had ever made in her life.

It wasn't just because of the threat from the Taiyin Sect, but also because the young man before them was a miracle that defied common sense.

The light from the teleportation array instantly enveloped the two of them.

After a slight spatial fluctuation.

Su Yu and Mu Qingxue disappeared into the underground palace.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at a secluded valley near the exit of the Myriad Realms.

There are still more than ten days before the secret realm closes.

But Su Yu had no intention of continuing the exploration.

He had already eaten the largest piece of meat, pot and all, and he didn't even bother with the remaining scraps.

"Let's find a place to rest for a few days, and once the exit of the secret realm opens, we'll head straight back to the Tian Shu Sect."

"I'll listen to you."

Mu Qingxue nodded without any objection.

For them, a dozen days is nothing more than the time it takes to meditate a few times.

The two stayed in the cave quite peacefully.

There were no demonic beasts, nor any foolish rogue cultivators causing trouble.

When the spatial rift in mid-air began to vibrate violently again, the exit of the Myriad Realms Secret Realm officially opened.

Su Yu dusted off his clothes and slowly walked out with Mu Qingxue.

On the Ascension Platform, the flying boats of various sects had been waiting for a long time.

The atmosphere, however, was rather bleak.

The crowd that went in was huge, but less than half of them came out.

In front of the giant flying boat of the Tian Shu Sect, the nine true disciples in the late Foundation Establishment stage also gathered one after another.

No one was unharmed.

Some of their robes were torn in half, and some were pale, clearly indicating that their very essence had been damaged.

One person even lost an arm and was using high-level pills to forcibly stop the bleeding and reattach it.

Secret realms have always been high-risk, high-reward endeavors.

These nine people were prepared to die when they went in; for a month inside, they were practically living on the edge.

Those who are alive and standing here now naturally have several treasures in their storage bags that are enough to make outsiders envious and crazy.

Although they were severely injured, their brows revealed a ruthless and self-satisfied air, as if they had seized a great opportunity after a life-or-death struggle.

Until Su Yu and Mu Qingxue walked onto the deck one after the other.

These nine prodigies, covered in blood and exuding murderous intent, were all stunned.

I know you're the precious darling of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, but surely you can't escape unscathed from a secret realm?

Can't you at least show some respect for the danger level of this secret realm?!
