Chapter 1766 Appetizer: The Golden Dragon Soars Through the Galaxy!
next moment!
Cheng Buzheng's gaze once again fell upon the few remaining items on the shelf.
He reached out and grabbed at the air, and another crystal of similar size, containing the item, flew from the shelf and hovered in front of him.
Without any hesitation,
Cheng Buzheng flicked his finger in mid-air, and an invisible force precisely struck the core of the crystal seal.
"boom!"
Crystal, like an artistic treasure,
Instantly, like a piece of porcelain struck by a heavy blow, its surface became covered with cracks.
Then it shattered completely, turning into countless shimmering crystal particles that vanished without a trace.
next moment,
The spirit that had been sealed within it revealed itself and slowly drifted down.
This object has a strange shape; its crown is spread out, resembling a small open umbrella, with delicate texture on the surface.
Its main body is thick and full, resembling the base of a flipped palm, and the whole piece has a warm and jade-like texture.
Even more miraculously, this spiritual herb was naturally surrounded by five-colored spiritual light. This light, like ethereal clouds, flowed slowly, causing the herb to appear and disappear within the halo.
It seemed to belong not to the mortal world, but to a celestial herb growing in the misty clouds.
The elixir fell into Cheng Buzheng's hands, and the moment he touched it, he felt an extremely smooth, unique texture, like the finest brocade.
His gaze was fixed intently on the spiritual herb, which felt like brocade in his hand, surrounded by five-colored spiritual light, and exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
A name from a distant memory, along with a description of its earth-shattering effects, instantly surfaced in his mind.
"Its shape is like an umbrella or a palm, its touch is like brocade, it is protected by five-colored spiritual light, and it is hidden in the clouds..."
"Could this be the 'Cloud Brocade Umbrella Medicine' recorded in ancient books, which has been extinct for countless years?"
It is said that this elixir has the terrifying power to reverse life and death and restore the balance of yin and yang!
Its efficacy is so extraordinary that it can be said to rival the wonders of nature.
As long as a cultivator retains even a sliver of divine consciousness, even if their physical body is completely destroyed and their soul is 99% scattered, they can still achieve their goals.
With just this wisp of divine thought as the core, and with the aid of this medicine, one can reunite the soul, rebuild the physical body, and live a second life!
Most importantly, after being reborn through the power of the [Cloud Brocade Umbrella Medicine], the cultivator's lifespan will be completely reset and recalculated from the beginning.
This is entirely equivalent to a perfect reincarnation, but it retains all the cultivation level, memories, and insights from the previous life.
There is no mystery of reincarnation.
There is no risk of qualification downgrade.
It is a true "rebirth"!
While it may seem similar to the infamous "body snatching" in the cultivation world, the two are fundamentally different.
Possession is the act of forcibly taking over another person's body; it is an act of usurping someone else's nest, which not only carries extremely serious karmic consequences but also poses numerous hidden dangers.
And the most fatal point is—
A cultivator's lifespan limit is not reset simply because they have a younger body.
The end of one's lifespan is not entirely determined by the physical body's vital energy and blood.
At a deeper level, it is closely related to the "fate" that resonates with the essence of a cultivator's soul and the laws of heaven and earth.
After possession, lifespan is still calculated based on the remaining years before possession, and it does not increase by the slightest.
If one cannot make another breakthrough and surpass the peak state before possessing another body within the remaining lifespan,
Ultimately, they could not escape the fate of their souls being scattered.
This is also the fundamental reason why, despite knowing the methods of possession, almost no top-tier cultivators are willing to attempt it lightly.
It was a path that seemed like a way out, but in reality, it was a one-way street that would only hasten our demise.
Only cultivators at the 'lower levels' of the cultivation world believe that possession is a way to defy fate and change one's destiny.
However, the [Yunjin Umbrella Medicine] has no such restrictions.
It uses unparalleled medicinal power to fundamentally reshape the user's life essence.
This is equivalent to gaining renewed recognition from the laws of heaven and earth, thus naturally reshaping one's lifespan.
This is truly defying fate!
……
Cheng Buzheng held in his hands the [Cloud Brocade Umbrella Herb], a plant that could potentially ignite a frenzied battle across the entire cultivation world.
Even with his Nascent Soul stage composure, he couldn't help but feel a slight surge of emotion at this moment.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
After a while,
Cheng Buzheng then resealed it and carefully put it into his storage bag.
Followed by.
He made another effortless move with his large hand, the movement fluid and graceful.
laugh--!
A dazzling beam of light shot out from the antique and heavy shelf on one side, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the void, with a sharp whooshing sound, heading straight for Cheng Buzheng's face.
The light was so intense that it even suppressed the radiance emitted by other treasures on the surrounding shelves.
boom!
A clear, crisp sound, like the striking of jade chimes, rang out.
The crystal light suddenly exploded about a foot in front of Cheng Buzheng, but it had no destructive power. Instead, it turned into a colorful rain of light that fell gently down.
In the rain of light, the outline of a medicinal herb gradually became clear.
This object resembled a winding vine, its entire body displaying a deep and pure blood red color.
It seemed to be nourished by the most concentrated phoenix blood.
Even more miraculously,
On the blood-red vine, a small, exquisite, and lifelike phoenix silhouette is naturally imprinted.
The phoenix was elegant in posture, with distinct feathers and slightly closed eyes, yet it exuded an indescribable aura of nobility and antiquity.
It was as if there truly was a supreme phoenix spirit, sealed within this vine by unparalleled magical power, ready to open its divine eyes at any moment, break free of its restraints, and soar into the sky!
A hazy red light swirled around the spiritual herb, faintly forming the phantom of a miniature phoenix, poised to take flight.
See this scene.
Cheng Buzheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of undisguised shock flashed deep in his eyes.
Given his knowledge and temperament, there are few treasures that can move him, but the aura and form of this spiritual herb are truly astonishing.
However, this shock only lasted for a moment.
next moment,
He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, and the turbulent emotions receded like the tide, restoring his calm and undisturbed state.
Since stepping into the Golden Dragon Clan's secret vault, the series of surprises had left him somewhat numb, his mind and spirit tempered far beyond the ordinary, giving him an extremely strong immunity.
"Judging from its shape and sensing its aura, this spiritual herb should be the legendary supreme immortal herb—the Blood Phoenix Grass!"
He murmured to himself, a hint of unbelievable anticipation in his voice.
However, in the next instant, Cheng Buzheng's gaze narrowed slightly, focusing on the phoenix pattern, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"wrong!"
He was alert.
"The legendary Blood Phoenix Grass is a supreme immortal herb created by seizing the essence of heaven and earth. Its aura should be more restrained and return to its original purity."
This spiritual herb was surrounded by a rich Daoist aura of fire attribute.
More importantly, the phoenix patterns on its body, while wondrous, seemed somewhat blurry at the edges, not quite reaching the level of exquisite detail and lifelike realism described in legends.
"Obviously..."
A knowing look and a barely perceptible hint of regret flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
"This shouldn't be the real [Blood Phoenix Grass],"
Instead, it was something extremely similar, but of a much lower grade: the Phoenix Blood Vine Grass!
Although there is only a difference of two characters between "phoenix grass" and "vine grass", their values are worlds apart and cannot be compared at all.
Just like the difference between ordinary ironware and magical artifacts, it is a fundamental difference.
Cheng Buzheng's mind raced, and the records about these two spiritual herbs clearly appeared in his mind:
If a cultivator can refine the true Blood Phoenix Grass, there is a very small chance that they can defy fate and cultivate a trace of phoenix bloodline.
Although this bloodline is extremely shallow and cannot compare to those true descendants of the spirits, it is still a genuine possessor of the phoenix bloodline.
It has immeasurable benefits for spiritual practice, physical health, and lifespan.
Not only that,
If one is incredibly lucky, there is even a tiny chance that one might inherit a Phoenix bloodline divine power from it.
Even the Phoenix Clan's innate divine power that they relied on to dominate the world—the [Undying Flame]—is not entirely impossible.
Of course, the probability is so small as to be negligible.
There may not be a single example like this throughout history.
The Phoenix Blood Vine Grass before them, though incredibly precious, is primarily used as the main ingredient in certain high-level elixirs.
It can also be taken or refined alone.
However, refining it will never grant one the Phoenix bloodline; its effect lies in greatly enhancing the user's affinity and compatibility with fire-attribute spiritual energy.
If a cultivator specializes in fire-attribute techniques, this spiritual herb can greatly enhance their cultivation speed and improve their comprehension.
"but!"
Cheng Buzheng's eyes flickered, and based on his profound understanding and insight, he made a further deduction:
"This herb is related to the phoenix and contains a trace of phoenix blood essence."
Perhaps... after refining it, it can not only improve the compatibility with spiritual energy,
It might even increase a cultivator's understanding and affinity with the Law of Fire!
"Um!
The possibility is great.
After all, it touched upon a trace of the Phoenix's primordial power.
At this thought, a gentle figure immediately came to mind.
"Once we get back, we'll have Wanwan consume and refine this herb."
She specializes in fire-attribute cultivation techniques and has been stuck at the peak of the Half-Saint realm for a long time, unable to reach the bottleneck of the Divine Transformation realm.
Perhaps... this Phoenix Blood Vine will be the one to help her break through that barrier.
In addition, there are treasures such as the [Spirit Rhinoceros Pill],
Her chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm might increase by another 50%!
In an instant, these thoughts flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind like lightning.
A few moments.
He suppressed the distracting thoughts that were rising in his mind, and his eyes regained their clarity.
He carefully took out a jade box made of ten-thousand-year-old warm jade from his storage ring, and gently placed the Phoenix Blood Vine Grass, which was shimmering with rosy light, inside, afraid of damaging it in the slightest.
After closing the jade box, he took out a gleaming silver talisman covered in runes and solemnly affixed it to the seam of the box lid.
Completely lock in the powerful medicinal properties of the herb to prevent its loss.
After doing all this, Cheng Buzheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to the shelves that were still fully stocked.
Next, he moved much faster, but still in an orderly manner.
"This spiritual herb, with its entire body resembling crystal and its heart adorned with frost, should be the [Crystal Ice Heart Grass]!"
The greatest effect of this medicine is to calm the mind and spirit, making it an excellent remedy for combating inner demons.
Unfortunately, my Dao heart is clear and pure, and I have no need for this item for the time being.
He swept his hand across the ground, and the herb vanished.
"···"
"Um?
This precious herb has layers upon layers of flower centers, as pure as a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, while its roots are straight, smooth, and as warm and lustrous as jade...
This should be the Jade Pure Snow Lotus Grass, which has long been extinct in the outside world.
Unfortunately, while this medicine can purify magical power and greatly enhance cultivation, it is a rare treasure for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
For my current Nascent Soul cultivation level, it's a useless thing.
never mind!
Leave it to the little ones in the clan.
Cheng Buzheng shook his head slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he also took the last treasure on the shelf.
In an instant, the once gleaming shelves became completely empty.
Followed by.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the hazy light within the secret vault and landing on the deep dome.
One could see golden dragon phantoms of varying sizes and with distinct scales roaming freely in the vast starry river simulated by countless points of light, exuding immense pressure.
"That's where the Golden Dragon Clan's true trump card lies."
Cheng Buzheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a golden light began to flow deep within his pupils, growing brighter and more dazzling.
"The treasures on those shelves were just appetizers."
"hope……"
"The Golden Dragon Clan's ancient and profound treasures must not disappoint me!"
The moment the murmur in my heart fell,
The golden light flowing in Cheng Buzheng's eyes was as intense as two miniature suns.
In an instant, under his penetrating divine eyes, the scene on the dome underwent a dramatic transformation—
The powerful and agile golden dragons disappeared, replaced by countless extremely complex golden patterns.
They intertwine and connect with each other, forming mysterious and restrictive lines that resemble swimming dragons.
Yes,
These are the core restrictions set up by the Golden Dragon Clan, protecting their most precious heritage and treasures.
In the past, when the protective array of this secret vault was intact,
Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator to infiltrate this place and forcibly break through these restrictions would be no easy task.
It might even trigger a backlash from the formation, causing all efforts to be in vain.
But now, the situation is completely different.
These restrictions still appear to be radiant and structurally intact, but in reality, they are outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and are in a severely damaged state.
The reason is simple: these core restrictions and the array of laws supporting this small world coexist as one.
Now that the core element of the Law Array is gone, the array's grade has plummeted, and it can only maintain a fourth-order level, with less than one-tenth of its power remaining.
If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach?
Furthermore, the incomplete fourth-order grand formation had already been suppressed by Cheng Buzheng...
These restrictions, which rely on the large array for energy, naturally have their power greatly reduced.
Cheng Buzheng's eyes flashed like lightning as he calmly scanned every dragon-shaped restriction on the dome.
Under his powerful divine sense and array cultivation, the incredibly complex restriction patterns rapidly degenerated into basic spiritual restrictions, their operational rules, energy nodes, and weaknesses were gradually exposed to his perception.
After a while,
A glint of light flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, revealing a knowing and delighted expression.
"As expected.
The flow of energy is sluggish, and the light from the nodes is dim.
"This incomplete, unattended restriction alone cannot stop me!"
"···"
