Ancestor Above - Chapter 283

283 Accompanying magical treasure

The harvest this time could be called a great harvest.

What did 10000 karma mean? After the battle in the North barren forest, the karma Lu Qing had obtained was only slightly more than 20000 but not even 30000. Right now, relying on two juniors, without paying too much of a price, he had already obtained 10000. This level of profit was sky-high.

As long as there was an opportunity to explore an ancient ruin like the Penglai Celestial Palace, it was indeed the activity with the greatest harvest.

!!
Moreover, according to Lu Qing’s estimation, he did not know if this return could be considered as a crusade or a fortuitous encounter. If it could be considered, there would definitely be a sum of money to supplement it after the event.

The gains of karma might be secondary. Although Lu Qing was overjoyed at the number of 10000, the ‘level up of an immemorial ability’ that followed was an even more important gain. This was something that karma could not get.

What was the [ ancient ability ]?

Lu Qing’s first reaction was, of course, the immemorial creation star ascending art.

Thinking about it further, could the divine ability [ star God’s power ] and the spirit body [ sacred body of stars ] he obtained outside the starry sky also count?

What about the wood heavenly spiritual root he obtained from the divine Deer Forest? This can’t be upgraded too, right? Heaven spirit root can be upgraded? I’ve never heard of it!

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He also tried to open the upgrade option.

Sure enough, all the things he had guessed before, except for the wood heavenly spiritual root, appeared in the list of upgradable items.

The only thing that surprised him was that The Book of Fate and the rising stars incantation were separated when he upgraded his cultivation method.

“Didn’t Wufu already fuse with it? Why couldn’t he level up in one go? F * ck!”

Lu Qing cursed, but no one could hear him.

He was a little depressed.

But then, he began to think about where he should put this hard-won upgrade.

He did not think for too long before he made a decision-he wanted to upgrade the immemorial creation book.

After upgrading the immemorial creation book, he might be able to obtain the nascent soul part of the creation book. In this case, he could rely on the creation book to advance to the nascent soul level in the future.

This was an immediate effect. If he didn’t exchange for a cultivation technique, he would be able to reach the peak of the ninth-stage golden core realm in a few years. At that time, he would face the problem of stagnation.

Now that he had upgraded his cultivation method first, he could obtain the content of the nascent soul. With the effect of the divine-grade cultivation method, his top-notch spiritual body, and his talent of heaven spiritual roots, he should be able to obtain the nascent Soul Stage with a few years of preparation.

With the nascent soul realm and the revival exchange option, the Lu family would have a stable position in the North. Even in the entire Yan country, the Lu family with a nascent soul cultivator would be a top family.

As for the other items, although they were also extremely rare and powerful, their importance at the moment was still put behind.

Moreover, the most important consideration was that Lu Qing felt that there were still many places that he could explore in the secret realm outside the starry sky. He might be able to find ways to upgrade ancient abilities such as the rising star Art, the power of the star God, and the sacred body of the stars. However, he had no clue about the abilities of the creation book.

After taking everything into consideration, Lu Qing still decided to use it to upgrade the good fortune book.

Lu Qing now had a rough understanding of the system.

It must have an extremely ancient history and was definitely related to the 21 Celestials from the ancient era. When Lu Qing collected the power of the 21 Immortals, he was able to obtain the abilities of the immemorial series. This would be of great help to him in increasing his abilities.

Other than the items related to the twenty-one immemorial Celestials, it seemed like this God race relic would be of great help as well.

Gods and demons were the enemies of the immemorial Immortals. In the ancient times, the system’s original body was one of the ancient Celestials, or perhaps they were in the same camp. Gods and demons were naturally the system’s mortal enemies.

Killing his nemesis would trigger the system’s reward, so it was natural.

The system was not interested in ordinary evil spirits like the White ghouls in the ice plains of the extreme north at all. They were all small trash, and could only be counted as some accumulated rewards in Conquest mode.

If a true demon were to appear, it would probably be like the heavenly God’s relic. Lu Qing would be given a direct reward.

In short, based on the current situation, Lu Qing’s system would give him a very rich and rare reward if he encountered the mortal enemies of the system, which were gods and demons. The reward would not be inferior to the primordial ruin.

……

He did not need to upgrade the creation book immediately.

The exploration of the reflection in the fairy Palace was not over yet. It would not be too late to do it when he was done.

When Lu Qing received his reward, the three little fellows outside the altar walked over. They surrounded the altar and looked at the Golden flame curiously.

Although Lu Qing had already received the reward, it did not mean that all the metal fire on the altar had been absorbed. In reality, what Lu Qing had obtained was a reward given by the system based on the deity’s relic. The divine fire itself still existed.

After the three little fellows stood up, they divided the divine fire equally, each taking a third.

Lu Qing was stunned as he watched the entire process.’I touched the metal fire that was so hot that I was about to be burned to death, and you all took a breath and sucked the metal fire into your stomachs. Are you all fine?’

Can it do this just because it has a physical body?

Lu Qing felt jealous.

At the same time, he was also very curious. How did these three little fellows know that they could gather the divine fire like this? Furthermore, what use would this divine fire have for them?

Lu Qing did not know any of this.

However, he immediately remembered the scene of Weiwen soaking the myriad Mystic Golden Spirit sand in the basin of white water in the small outer building. Before soaking in the water, she had received a magical enlightenment that soaking in the water would help her upgrade her magic tools.

Then, could it be a similar revelation this time?

Lu Qing felt that it was very possible.

He didn’t need to guess about this, he could just ask later.

Of course, not now. After all, there was still an outsider like Qi Fang.

……

The three of them retreated after they had taken down the altar.

After leaving the area where there were many phantoms of immortal generals, the temporary team of three separated.

Speaking of which, continuing to form a team could actually maximize the benefits of the three. After all, their strength was second to none among all the geniuses in the immortal Palace. There was almost no one who could compare to them. There might be one or two people in the Qi state who were as strong as them, but that was all. They couldn’t surpass them.

Under such circumstances, a three-person team could make the later operations safer. If they encountered a more difficult situation, the three of them could work together and possibly take it down, thus obtaining greater rewards.

But unfortunately, Qi Fang was leaving.

After all, he was the eldest senior brother of Yunxiao sect, the head disciple of the ninth generation, and the leader of the fifty Yunxiao sect disciples who entered the reflection in the immortal Palace. It was impossible for him to leave his fellow disciples behind and continue to form a team with the two Lu family members.

This time, he had only entered the altar to explore. His senior and junior brothers were not strong enough, so it was too dangerous for them to enter. If dozens of people moved together, it would cause a greater disturbance than a small squad. If a large number of shadows of immortal generals were attracted, even Qi Fang might not be able to take advantage of them. If some more people were killed, it would be a great loss.

In fact, Qi Fang did not have much hope in this exploration.

After all, this wasn’t the first time the reflection of the fairy Palace had been opened. Many talented seniors had come to explore it before. Putting everything else aside, Qi Fang greatly admired his sect’s ‘junior uncle-master’,’ cloud-treading sword immortal ‘Bai Nantian, who was known as Yunxiao sect’s top-notch genius that only appeared once every five hundred years. Back when he was in the foundation establishment stage, he had once explored the reflection of the immortal Palace and also tried to explore the place where the divine general illusions gathered in an attempt to explore the secrets within. In the end, he returned in failure.

He was just here to have a try. After experiencing the power of the shadow of the immortal general, he had almost given up the idea of continuing the exploration.

In the end, he did not expect the Lu siblings to be so powerful. They led him to explore a place that even his talented youngest uncle had failed to explore. Furthermore, they had obtained such great benefits.

It was a pity that they couldn’t continue to form teams.

Before they left, Qi Fang made an agreement with the two of them that they would continue to keep in touch with each other through letters after they left. He also invited them to visit Yunxiao mountain if they had the time.

They could be considered to have established a friendship.

Lu Qing was also happy to see this happen.

In the future, the Lu family would not be cooped up in the Feiyun state forever. It was obvious that as the Lu family grew stronger and stronger, they would definitely break through the restrictions of the Feiyun state and expand their influence to the entire yan state.

In order to continue to develop and grow, Yunxiao sect was an obstacle that could not be bypassed in the country of Yan. Even the succession of the throne in the Great Yan Dynasty depended on their wishes. If the Lu clan wanted to be stronger, how could they not have dealings with Yunxiao sect?

Qi Fang would develop in the future, and if there were no accidents, he would also become an upper-level figure in Yunxiao sect. It was definitely a good thing that someone in the younger generation of the family could build a good relationship with him in advance.

……

It was only after Qi Fang left that Lu Qing could ask about the effects of the divine flames they had absorbed from the altar.

The two juniors naturally told their ancestor everything they knew.

After they absorbed the divine fire, they could find an excellent weapon refiner to refine it into their own accompanying magic weapon after a simple sacrificial refining.

The so-called life-bound magic weapon was something that was bound to the cultivator’s life, and it would display different attributes of power according to the cultivator’s own characteristics. The difference between it and ordinary magic tools was that this kind of accompanying magic weapon didn’t have a grade. How much power it could exert and what kind of effect it had depended on the cultivator’s own cultivation, strength, and characteristics.

This was a little like Lu Qing’s Dragon Soul. Although it could be considered an external object, it was not considered an external force. Instead, it was something that the cultivator had slowly cultivated.

Accompanying magic weapons were extremely difficult to forge. This didn’t even have much to do with the level of the refiner himself. The most important thing was that there had to be such a natural treasure that could be used to forge accompanying magic weapons. And this kind of thing happened to be extremely rare in the entire cultivation world.

He was really lucky to be able to pick up a divine fire from the reflection of the immortal Palace, which could be used to make a half-lifetime magic weapon.

Even Lu Qing could not help but feel jealous of their luck after he found out about the specific effects of the divine fire.

Eh? When I was in the foundation establishment stage, I also picked up a Dragon Soul.

That’s fine.

His Dragon Soul wasn’t a spiritual treasure and didn’t need to be fused with other spiritual artifacts. It even had some spirituality and was more like a living creature.

He didn’t know what the Dragon Soul was. However, there was no doubt that the Dragon Soul would also grow stronger as his strength grew.

In any case, he felt that his Dragon Soul was more powerful than the average accompanying magical treasure.

……

After the siblings, Lu Weiwen and Lu Wenen, had finished the battle around the altar, there was no need for them to continue staying in the middle ring of clouds.

The two of them rested for a day and recuperated. After recovering their nervous spirits from the high-pressure battle, they set off for the core area.

The core area was easy to find. If he chose a direction and headed toward the center of the ring of clouds, he would definitely reach it. Moreover, the ring of clouds wasn’t very wide, so any cultivator could go in.

However, among the 200 cultivators in Yan and Qi, only a few would choose to come here.

The reason was simple. They might be able to walk, but they might not be able to walk over.

There was no path from the middle layer of clouds to the central hall in the center. There were only paths that were like bridges. However, even if they walked on the same bridge together, they would still be separated at the end of the bridge and transported to a small, pure white space.

In that small space, there would be an illusionary figure of a God general. If they killed it alone, they would be teleported to the core area.

However, anyone with a little bit of inheritance would know that the most difficult thing to deal with in the reflection of the immortal Palace was the illusion of a divine general.

Those who entered the reflection in the fairy Palace were all geniuses, the best of the ninth-tier foundation building realm. However, there were still very few people who could defeat The Phantom of a divine general in a one-on-one fight.

Every time, out of the 200 cultivators reflected in the immortal Palace, 95% of them would be able to pass the outer layer. Without this bit of confidence, they would not be sent over by their respective forces. Not only would that be meaningless, but it would also be easy to lose their lives for nothing.

But that was all. Most people’s goal was to mix around in the clouds in the middle circle, get some essence energy, or find some fortuitous encounters.

Only about one-tenth of the people would choose to challenge the godly general Phantom, and they were all very confident in themselves. But even so, only half of them were able to succeed in the challenge. Of the remaining half who failed, there were some who would lose their lives for their blind confidence.

Those who could really enter the core area were usually only about five to ten people from the two countries combined.

However, this obstacle was nothing to Lu Wenen and Lu Weiwen. The two of them were confident that they could defeat the illusionary divine general in a one-on-one battle.
