Chapter 51: Choose 1 of 3
Chapter 51: Choose 1 of 3
The voice in the darkness was a complete surprise to Suk.
Not only are they giving away secret cultivation methods, but they're also offering benefits?
We should do more of these kinds of good things.
In reality, this is extremely difficult, mainly because the cultivation method is too difficult. Even that great master back then couldn't cultivate someone to reach the fourth level of Nirvana.
For that powerful being, even reaching the level of a peerless genius who appears only once every ten million epochs in the sixth Nirvana stage wouldn't be of much help to him. He was just a little unwilling to let no one cultivate the secret technique he had painstakingly created.
"May I ask what benefits you will receive, sir?" Suk asked with a lewd grin.
"You haven't met the requirements yet, so there's no need to ask any more questions." The voice in the darkness was devoid of emotion. "However, I can tell you that the higher the requirements you meet, the more precious and generous the rewards will be. Even the lowest reward, the Fourth Nirvana, far exceeds the wealth of an ordinary Immortal powerhouse! So... work hard! Otherwise, no matter how good the treasures are, they will have nothing to do with you."
Suk took a deep breath and voiced another question that puzzled him.
"My lord, if you want people to practice the secret techniques on the stone gate, why did you even let them come in to break through?"
It is precisely because there is an opportunity to become an emperor behind the stone gate that generations of geniuses and powerful individuals have given up trying to comprehend the secret techniques of the stone gate and instead opted for the more readily available opportunity to become an emperor.
"That was a test set by the master," the voice in the darkness said coldly. "If you can't even resist this temptation, your character is unworthy of touching upon true opportunities."
"They made a breakthrough, but that was the end of it all."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
With a whoosh, three streaks of light suddenly flew out of the darkness, stopped in front of Suk, and turned into three orbs of light, each containing something faintly.
"Here are three items; you may choose one," the voice in the darkness said. "After you've made your choice, I will escort you out."
Suk's spirits lifted, and he focused his attention on the three floating orbs of light.
Inside the leftmost sphere of light is a small purple fish, its body crystal clear and enveloped in starlight, swimming around constantly, which is very beautiful.
In the middle was a pitch-black object that resembled some kind of plant seed but shimmered with a metallic sheen.
Finally, there was a small, bright green tree.
Suk blinked. He didn't recognize any of the items. How was he supposed to choose?
"My lord, could you give me a hint?" Suk asked obsequiously.
"Of course." Unexpectedly, the cold voice immediately agreed.
"The one on the far left can integrate into your body to help increase your affinity with the fundamental laws, making it easier for you to feel the fluctuations of the fundamental laws in your future cultivation. You cultivate with light, right? It's perfect for you."
"That thing in the middle is a rare auxiliary life form in the universe. Because it is so rare, no one has yet developed an upgrade plan. In fact, the cultivation method is not complicated, but it requires a lot of resources, which is negligible compared to its function."
"The last one contains a large amount of life energy, which can be used to assist in cultivation and to quickly heal injuries, but it cannot heal the soul."
"Alright, you choose." The voice said simply and then fell silent.
Suk looked at the three treasures in front of him, feeling a strong urge to possess them.
Although he didn't know the exact value of these three items, he was certain that each one was extraordinary.
After all, how could the things left behind by a true great being who could create a cultivation secret method that produces "a peerless genius that appears only once every ten million epochs" (although it is too difficult and no one has mastered it yet) be ordinary? Even a small leak of information would probably make immortals envious.
Suk desperately wanted to possess all three treasures, but unfortunately, he could only choose one.
This is a painful choice.
The being in the darkness watched him with great interest. As the earliest follower of that ancient being, it had lived for countless years, but it was quite unexpected that someone at the planetary level could successfully cultivate the first picture of the Six Nirvanas.
Therefore, it was also very curious about what choice Suk, this lucky little guy, would make.
Suk quickly considered his options. "The first treasure can increase my affinity with the fundamental laws of light, making it easier for me to comprehend them, which is undoubtedly crucial for my future cultivation. The second treasure is an incredibly rare auxiliary life form in the universe, and the voice in the darkness says it's very easy to cultivate. If I can cultivate it, it will be like the protagonist's early-stage protection with the Cloud Vine, making it my most powerful helper and a strong talisman in case of life-threatening situations. The last one is similar to the Wood Crystal, the Fruit of Life, and the Heart of the Stars; it's full of life energy and can be used to assist in cultivation or to quickly recover from injuries, making it an extremely powerful means of survival."
While a perfect alignment with the laws seems ideal, how much alignment is possible? How much improvement will it bring? How much benefit will it provide? And what if, later on, one's Six Nirvanas cultivation level improves slightly, it might become useless?
Moreover, the "Cultivation Alienation" talent enhances the Six Nirvanas, which increases the affinity with the laws, making it a difficult choice for Suk.
The main problem is that they simply don't understand its value. They're completely in the dark.
Suk hesitated, then looked up into the darkness. "Sir, are these three treasures of equal value?"
A voice came from the darkness: "No, the highest value among them differs by more than ten thousand times."
Suk paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Could the adults help me choose?"
"Oh? You're actually letting me choose for you?" The voice in the darkness seemed a little surprised. "You're quite the adventurer, aren't you afraid I'll pick the worst one for you?"
Suk smiled slightly: "I believe the adults wouldn't bully a little guy like me."
"Hahaha, interesting..." The voice in the darkness laughed for the first time.
With a whoosh, the two orbs of light transformed into streaks of light and flew into the darkness, leaving only one orb remaining in front of Suk.
It was a jet-black walnut, like a plant seed, but with a shimmering metallic sheen.
"Since I like your appearance, I'll give you one more thing." Before Suk could react, something else flew over from the darkness and landed in front of him—a ring. "I noticed you don't have a good spatial storage device, so I'll give you a better one."
Suk immediately reached out and grasped the ring, quickly imprinting his mental mark upon it. His consciousness easily probed inside, and he immediately showed delight.
The internal space of this spatial ring was enormous. In terms of size, it was over a thousand meters long, five hundred meters high, and seven hundred and fifty meters wide, far superior to his own spatial ring which was only five meters long, wide, and high. It could easily fit a spaceship inside.
It's important to understand that the larger the space, the more difficult it is to cut and seal. And only powerful beings among the great immortals can create high-specification spatial storage devices capable of storing spaceships. Each one is extremely expensive. At least, Suk couldn't afford them with his entire fortune before.
The black, seed-like, and metallic-like object inside the sphere of light suddenly flew to Suk's eyes, where he caught it.
"The methods for nurturing life support are all recorded in the ring. You can look at them yourself when you get back."
"That's all for now, lucky little guy... Looking forward to seeing you again."
An invisible spatial force enveloped Suk and sent him away.
......
Above the massive abyss rift, Hail stood suspended in mid-air before the stone gate, his face cold and his aura overwhelming. The surrounding area became a forbidden zone, and no one dared to approach.
Many people witnessed Suk being teleported away, and the news spread quickly.
Various speculations emerged, but the most prevalent one was that Suk had passed the true test of the Stone Gate.
This undoubtedly shocked many people!
In countless years, this is only the second person, after Emperor Gulei, to pass the test of the Stone Gate!
Moreover... this is a young Transcendent (Planetary Level)! How can those Saints bear this!
The Gure family, in particular, found it hardest to accept that their family's years of perseverance and dedication were no match for a superhuman little guy who was visiting for the first time.
And no matter what they think, that's the truth.
The silver-robed girl blinked. The handsome young man who had captured her heart could actually be compared to her most admired ancestor, the Great Emperor?
