Chapter 802: Chapter 672: Strange Object? Embryo! [Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets]_2

For this reason, the term "Rune" is now used instead of "Tao Literature," as those runes contained within are not even close to matching the prestige of the Great Dao Scripture, thus distinguishing them from those of ancient times!

······

Wang Zijia glanced at the array disk in his hand for a moment and hesitated.

Then his mana surged, and a heart composed purely of runes condensed in his other hand.

"Immortal Venerate, what are you doing?" Yao Wenxuan asked, puzzled by Wang Zijia’s sudden action.

Without replying, Wang Zijia quickly pressed the rune heart in his hand directly onto what seemed to be a mini altar array disk!

In an instant, Spiritual Light soared, and a strong, dazzling light burst forth from Wang Zijia’s hands, so bright that it was blinding.

A sudden gust of wind rose around them, throwing their clothes into noisy disarray with its chaotic Spiritual Mechanism.

’What is the Immortal Venerate doing?’ Yao Wenxuan asked Old Ghost Tong, dumbstruck.

"The madman is enlightening the altar!" Old Ghost Tong declared.

’Ugh, enlightening? Awakening its spirit? Can something like that even be enlightened?’ Yao Wenxuan asked, confused.

"It’s rare indeed. In ancient times, those who achieved Great Mastery in this domain could readily endow stones with spirit, and with a wave of their hand, bring life to thousands of beings! Especially that one who blew up the Southern Spirit Realm, gained the Heritage of Zhen Yuanzi, and opened the path of the earliest Earth Immortal Path—he was the most terrifying of all."

"It is said that by himself, he was the match of ten million men. To suppress him, the Dao Court had to come out in full force. In the end, the Southern Spirit was shattered into three domains—Spirit Suppressing, Primordial Suppressing, and Zhenmo—before they managed to deal with him."

"After that incident, the Earth Immortal Path soared above all others, and the Seventh-Grade True Immortal Realm began to be referred to as the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Eh? Why suppress him? Was this powerful individual a Devil Cultivator?" Yao Wenxuan’s attention drifted as he inquired into this ancient gossip.

"What else could it be? In an era when the Dao Court suppressed the Multi-Heavens, how could they possibly allow an outsider to rise with his own world in such a fashion?"

"Do you know what it would mean if someone attained the status of a Saint through the Earth Immortal Path?"

"A single person matching an entire world, at a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of monks would come swarming down, with tens of thousands of Taoist soldiers at his command, and even the possibility of a multitude of Saints of the same level at his disposal."

"During that era, if he had risen, it would have been the equivalent of creating a new Dao Court all on his own, capable of confronting the Dao Court head-on, on equal terms."

"What do you think will happen to such an existence who defies proclamation, ignores summons, refuses positions, fails to fulfill duties, and also refuses to have his cultivation capped and locked? What could be the end result?"

Yao Wenxuan smacked his lips twice and thought to himself, ’No wonder the Dao Court eventually fell.’

Old Ghost Tong didn’t refute, attributing the dominance of the Dao Court over the Multi-Heavens in the Third Age to its system.

But its shattering in the Fourth Epoch was also because of the system.

Even the dynasties of mortals, after a long time, face various issues due to the solidification of social class structure.

Not to mention, in that era, there were Immortals who could live as long as heaven and earth!

It can be said that the shattering of the Dao Court was an inevitable outcome!

······

As the two were communicating telepathically, Wang Zijia’s mana kept pouring crazily into the mini altar in his hands, which erupted with dazzling Spiritual Light.

And as countless runes flowed into it, the altar took on an even more ancient appearance.

This continued for half a moment before all the extraordinary phenomena began to subside.

Item: Everlasting Array Altar

Category: Man-Made Wonder

Status: Mechanical Intelligence (nascent, requires presetting)

Effect: Extracts and harnesses the sealed target’s power to construct seals. Originally possessing only internal sealing effects, special enlightenment endowed it with mechanical intelligence, allowing the Artifact Spirit to harness power for external defense.

It is important to note that external defense is not part of the natural, everlasting cycle of power. If a great amount of power is called upon, it may disrupt the cycle, potentially allowing sealed targets to escape.

Description: A Powerful Array Repairer arranged the seal on the altar. Due to its unique construction and the erosion over time of an unknown powerful entity’s strength, the altar underwent a mutation. Still functional after being disassembled and moved, it was originally equivalent to a mobile array disk.

But due to the intertwining and transformation from the Power of Tao Fruits and the remnants of Tao Literature, it became a man-made wonder.

Note: Every wonder is the embryonic form of a Spirit treasure. Of course, in today’s age, the natural conditions for the birth of Spirit treasures no longer exist!

······

As he looked at the altar in his hands that turned into a white jade disc, Wang Zijia was somewhat dumbstruck.

Wonder?

Wonders of heaven and earth!!!

So it turned out these things could also be man-made!

So that legendary object said to nurture Spiritual Roots within a person is an unformed Spirit Treasure!

From seventh to ninth grade it is called an Immortal Treasure, and anything above, used by the Saint Third Realm, is called a Spirit Treasure!

"How is it, Immortal Venerate?" At this time, Yao Wenxuan asked.

Wang Zijia tossed the Jade Disc in his hand and said, "It should be completely fine now. As long as the replacement is done, this thing will definitely be better than the previous seal."

Yao Wenxuan was overjoyed and said, "Then shall we start right now?"

"No rush! I still have one more thing to try." As the thoughts in Wang Zijia’s mind turned, he finally shifted his gaze toward the pitiful phantasm beside him.

"My friend, my friend, let’s talk this out, let’s talk this out. Whatever you want, we can negotiate."

"Believe me, I truly can offer you a lot of help."

"······"

The old guy, who had long sensed something was amiss, wasn’t so much delighted as he was filled with trepidation when he saw Wang Zijia’s gaze turn his way.

So, while displaying a brilliant smile that was somewhat ingratiating, he spoke hastily.

For both Wang Zijia and Yao Wenxuan, who had completely ignored any conversation with him from the beginning, no matter how many temptations and tricks he had, they were all futile.

Wang Zijia looked at him and revealed a bright smile.

However, the elder felt not the slightest bit of joy; on the contrary, he felt an inexplicable chill.

"Senior said we could negotiate anything?" Wang Zijia asked, appearing moved and swayed by the offer as he continued to approach the Mini Altar.

"Of course! Of course! Whatever you ask for, just mention it. I’m not boasting, but once I am free, whatever my friend desires, I can easily procure it for you," the elder replied ardently.

He wasn’t entirely bluffing—being a top Great Cultivator from the Great Thousand World who had swallowed the Heavenly Dao and caged an entire world, he had the confidence to make such claims.

"Is that so? I haven’t quite decided what I want yet!" Wang Zijia said as he moved closer to the altar.

"No problem, no problem. Just release me, and whatever you want afterward, I can procure for you. Whenever you need something, just ask," the elder said eagerly.

Well, being sealed for so long, it seems his mental state isn’t completely normal.

At the very least, his mind seems a bit abnormal!

After all, a normal Old Monster wouldn’t be trying to swindle Wang Zijia as if he were a fool.

Wang Zijia kept moving closer to the altar and said, "In that case, senior wouldn’t mind if I keep some countermeasures, right? After all, if the senior had any malicious intent after getting out, I would have no way to deal with it. I would simply be at the mercy of the senior."

"Yes, yes, let me out, and you can do as you wish, leave whatever restrictions you want. You can even permeate your power into the seal. I am at your disposal. Don’t worry, this seal is strong against internal threats but not so formidable externally," he responded promptly.

"If you really can’t infuse your power, you see those four things in the middle? You should be able to just pick one out and that would do," the elder said urgently.

"I see, I’ll give it a try," Wang Zijia spoke and had already reached the Mini Altar. He actually stretched out his hand onto the altar and extended his mana toward the interior of the altar.

"Good, good, hurry and penetrate as much as you can. I am open to your control, to any fallback plans you wish to set. Whatever you wish to do with me, I am at your disposal!" The elder’s voice was shaken with excitement.

To the side, Yao Wenxuan watched the exchange between Wang Zijia and the foolish elder, speechless for a long moment.

He could understand the elder’s folly; if he were locked up for that long, he might end up even worse. But he hadn’t anticipated Wang Zijia’s apparent foolishness.

Especially when he saw Wang Zijia indeed began to transfer his mana without first activating the Jade Disc Altar, he finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
