Chapter 97 Ancient Spirit Crystal
Inside the mansion...
"What?!"
Lu Xing stared in surprise at the information displayed on the screen.
Ancient Spirit Crystals: Tokens of the Ancient Spirit Temple. There are 18 Ancient Spirit Crystals in total. They randomly appear within the Ancient Spirit area. Only those holding the tokens can enter the Ancient Spirit Temple after it is opened. They disappear after use.
Ancient Spirit Temple: A temple nurtured by the Ruins of Splendor, which even the lords of the universes of all races cannot shake. It opens once every million epochs and lasts for one epoch. Only those who carry Ancient Spirit Crystals can enter. When the entrance turns completely black, it means that all 18 Ancient Spirit Crystals have been born. Even the top universe overlords who forcibly enter will perish instantly.
Recent treasure appearance information...
Recent information on Gringoire...
Recent internal spatial distribution map...
"The Gringoire is in the heart of the main island. I never intended to venture there before, but I still have to go now." Lu Xing closed the light screen in front of him.
"The worst one was a top-tier soul treasure, which is still comparable to an ordinary supreme treasure. Of course, the target of the snatching would be a high-level Venerable or even a hegemon."
"My chances of getting it are slim..."
Lu Xing was in a dilemma. He was willing to escape, but if he had the Ice Shark Venerable come out to stop him, even if he was the overlord of the universe, he would have an 80% chance of leaving safely.
But the struggle...
Competition inevitably means bloodshed.
It's impossible that no overlord could obtain 18 Ancient Spirit Crystals; even high-level Venerables would certainly have a number of them. Ultimately, it's exceptional that someone like the Shadow King, who is invincible and has been crowned a king, could obtain them.
Of course, there are other treasures inside. Even without fighting for them, you will definitely gain a lot, at least comparable to an ordinary treasure.
This is also why the Shadow King was confident that his strength would surpass that of the Water King after leaving the Ancient Spirit Hall; the treasures he possessed were simply too abundant.
"what?"
"My senior brother is looking for me."
Lu Xing stepped out to the door, and then the closed door opened, revealing a tall man with purple scales and two blood-red horns on his head.
The purple-scaled man was none other than Lu Xing's senior brother, Venerable Huan Yi!
"Junior Brother, aren't you going to invite me in?" Venerable Huan Yi said with a smile.
"Haha, senior brother, please come in."
Lu Xing stepped aside, and the two entered the mansion together. They then sat down on the sofa in the living room. The layout of his mansion was similar to that of a villa on Earth.
"I'll get straight to the point," Venerable Huan Yi said. "Junior Brother, the unfamiliar Venerable who killed King Hunshui on Bolan Island must be you, right?"
Lu Xing nodded.
He had been informed by Venerable Huan Yi that he had entered the Ancient Spirit District, since he would still need to ask him for help if he encountered real danger. In addition, with the various news about killing the Hunshui King spreading, it was not difficult for Venerable Huan Yi to finally guess that it was Lu Xing.
Huan Yi was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Lu Xing to admit it so readily.
In reality, there's no need to keep it too secret. It's enough to keep it a secret from outsiders. For example, if Huan Yi, his senior brother, is a traitor to another race, then the human race is not far from its demise.
"Hahaha, since that's the case, the Ancient Spirit Crystal will naturally fall into your hands," Venerable Huan Yi continued.
This is also his goal. He is a cosmic overlord, and as the first disciple of the Lord of Purgatory, he must possess several supreme treasures, making him extremely likely to compete for the final treasure.
"Senior brother, do you want that ancient spirit crystal?" Lu Xing asked.
This was also his guess, since he only had three things on him that could be used by Venerable Huan Yi. The Cold Condensation Pearl and the Shocking God Armor were impossible, so it could only be the Ancient Spirit Crystal he had just obtained.
"Yes." Venerable Huan Yi nodded. "Ancient Spirit Crystals are worth 400 Treasure Points in the clan's treasury. I can give you a slightly inferior top-tier Domain Treasure."
Even a slightly inferior top-tier domain treasure is worth more than 800 treasure points, yet Venerable Huan Yi asked for twice that amount of ancient spirit crystals.
But this thing... you never know!
The most valuable treasure that appeared in Gringoire was a high-grade treasure armor.
"Senior brother, allow me some time to consider it," Lu Xing said.
"You are still only an Immortal. Although your true combat strength is comparable to a low-level Venerable, and your trump cards can be compared to a mid-level Venerable, even a mid-level Venerable wouldn't dare say they could obtain a top-level treasure," Venerable Huan Yi said.
"Furthermore, to put it bluntly, the space inside the Ancient Spirit Hall is cramped, and your divine body is ultimately too weak, so the probability of you perishing is not small. Now you can obtain a top-level domain treasure without doing anything, so the reward is not bad."
Yes.
You can acquire a top-tier treasure without doing anything. Even if you're unlucky and manage to snatch the ultimate treasure, it's nothing special. And you don't even have to go through a fight.
However, the Gringoire opens once every million epochs, and there are still about 30 epochs until the next opening. When that time comes... he himself might not necessarily be able to seize the final treasure.
Aside from the Primal Star, these treasures are extremely difficult to obtain elsewhere.
"I still want to think about it," Lu Xing said.
"Hahaha, that works too," Venerable Huan Yi laughed. "This deal is valid until the Ancient Spirit Palace opens, or until I obtain another Ancient Spirit Crystal."
"Thank you, Senior Brother," Lu Xing said.
If an ordinary person could take it in stride, that would be fine. How could anyone expect Venerable Huan Yi to make such a promise to Lu Xing?
After chatting for a few more minutes, Venerable Huan Yi left.
"If I can create the ultimate secret technique within 10 eras, I will enter it myself," Lu Xing thought to himself.
Time and space shifted, and Lu Xing arrived at the battle space.
The Ancient Spirit Crystal alone is worth 400 Treasure Points, which is already a huge gain. There is no need for him to venture any further. An ordinary Treasure Weapon is only worth 1-3 Treasure Points.
He was safe inside the Peak Palace, with the detectors set to maximum.
Even a top overlord can withstand a blow from Peak Palace unless he uses his full strength; this time is enough for him to react in time.
"Combining the three profound mysteries, this secret technique has reached its peak and is already at its limit. To go further, the profound mysteries must be fused together," Lu Xing pondered.
The further one progresses in the secret techniques, the more difficult it becomes to comprehend them. His pinnacle secret technique was created because it used the chaos of time as a template for the operation of the secret runes, making creation much simpler and taking very little time.
Later, the Lord of Purgatory pointed out the problem with the secret technique, and in just 1000 years, it was improved to the limit of the peak secret technique.
However, creating an ultimate level of secret technique is still very difficult.
The ultimate realm represents the limit of this level. Even among the immortals, creating a peak secret technique is extremely rare. To create the ultimate realm means that after breaking through, one can at least reach the level of a cosmic overlord.
Even with the guidance of the Lord of Purgatory, it would be quite remarkable if he could create an ultimate secret technique within 10 eras.
Soon, a phantom image materialized before our eyes.
"bring it on!"
A fighting spirit surged in Lu Xing's eyes.
The human body also underwent a tempering of will under the Lord of Purgatory, and after so many years, his will has reached the level of a Universe Venerable.
