524 – Myriad Bones s.h.i.+eld and Imperial s.p.a.ce Sword
There was no way Yang Feng could conceal the fact that he got the Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus. The Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus was a treasure that even Infinity Warlocks coveted. Without Huang Yihe’s protection, once he left the Battle Demon Sect, he is sure to die.
Huang Yihe’s eyes brightened, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he took the jade box: “Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus! For you to get such a treasure, it’s your good fortune. As your teacher, I shouldn’t accept such a precious treasure from you. But I really want to break through the heaven-man boundary. Therefore, I wont stand o ceremony!”
Huang Yihe asked: “How many Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seeds did you use to promote your soul apt.i.tude to superior level-8?”
Yang Feng answered frankly: “My apt.i.tude is rather lacking, so only after using six lotus seeds did I promote my soul apt.i.tude to superior level-8. There are still three lotus seeds remaining. I plan to give the other two lotus seeds to Xue’er to enhance her soul apt.i.tude.”
Yang Feng used one lotus seed to break the heaven-man boundary, two lotus seeds to advance his soul apt.i.tude from inferior level-8 to intermediate level-8, and three lotus seeds to promote his soul apt.i.tude from intermediate level-8 to superior level-8.
Huang Yihe is an existence comparable to an Infinity Warlock. Now that Yang Feng has already upgraded his soul apt.i.tude to superior level-8, even if Huang Yihe wants to take his Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus, Yang Feng won’t resist. Of course, if such a thing did happen, he will be completely disappointed with the Battle Demon Sect, and take revenge in the future.
“s.h.i.+ Xue’s soul apt.i.tude is superior level-8, which is already perfect. It’s useless for her to take Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seeds. With your strength, you can’t keep such a rare treasure. I suggest that you give a lotus seed to Yue Wuxian and ask her to look after you.”
“Yue Wuxian and I have stopped at the quasi-Infinite Warlock realm for centuries. Once we use the lotus seeds to break through the heaven-man boundary, we should be able to promote to the Infinity Warlock realm. Only with the two of us standing in your corner will you be able to keep the last lotus seed” Huang Yihe spoke calmly.
Huang Yihe and Yue Wuxian are the two peerless powerhouses of the Battle Demon Sect who have formed a virtual world, they are mighty beings who can contend against ordinary junior Infinity Warlocks. With the Battle Demon Sect’s foundation, they can even fight advanced Infinity Warlocks.
It is because of this that Huang Yihe and Yue Wuxian didn’t dare to take the step to promote to the Infinity Warlock rank lightly. The stronger you are, the harder it is to advance to the Infinity Warlock rank. A moment of carelessness may lead to death.
The Battle Demon Sect only had Huang Yihe and Yue Wuxian who could compete with Infinity Warlock rank powerhouses. As for He Liannu and Yu Jingang who were also Bright World Warlocks, they stood no chance against Infinity Warlocks.
In order to guard the Battle Demon Sect, Huang Yihe and Yue Wuxian could not brave the danger of death to promote to the Infinity Warlock rank. But now, once they ingested the two Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seeds, they can break the heaven-man boundary, and their odds at advancing to the Infinity Warlock rank will reach upwards of 80%. By then, they can naturally attack the bottleneck and advance to the Infinity Warlock rank.
After all, the Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus was only a Sage grade heave and earth treasure, and it can enable Warlocks to upgrade their soul apt.i.tude to superior level-8 at most. If you want to break through from superior level-8 soul apt.i.tude to inferior level-9 soul apt.i.tude, you’ll need an Empyrean grade treasure.
Yang Feng contemplated for a while, and then handed the two remaining Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seeds to Huang Yihe: “Of these two lotus seeds, one is for Great Elder Yue Wuxian. As for the other one, please keep it for me, Teacher. When I have enough strength, I’ll come to get it back.”
After a.n.a.lyzing the pros and cons of Huang Yihe’s words, Yang Feng wasn’t stupid enough to refuse the former’s good intentions.
A treasure such as the Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus isn’t something that a mere Starry Sky Warlock like Yang Feng could keep. Only someone like Huang Yihe who is comparable to an infinity Warlock can keep it safe.
Huang Yihe chuckled: “Be at ease, I’ll spread the word that the last lotus seed is in my hands. This way, you won’t be in danger.”
Of the nine Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seeds, Yang Feng ate six, two were in Huang Yihe’s possession, and one was in Yue Wuxian’s possession. With the nine lotus seeds accounted for, Infinity Warlocks could only come to find Huang Yihe, not Yang Feng. After all, even if you kill Yang Feng, you can’t get a lotus seed. Instead, you will offend the two experts Huang Yihe and Yue Wuxian!
Yang Feng responded after a moment: “Thank you, Teacher. However, I don’t think the last lotus seed should be kept. It’s best to use it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may bring danger to the Battle Demon Sect.”
Huang Yihe spoke with a smile: “Feng’er, you’re underestimating the Battle Demon Sect too much. After I promote to an Infinity Warlock, those guys won’t pose any threat.”
Huang Yihe flicked his wrist, and a yellow crystal flew into Yang Feng’s hand: “This is a one-time use secret treasure Halo Crystal, it can block an all-out strike of a Bright World Warlock. Crash it, and I’ll know that you’re in danger. I’ll be able to detect it in most places in the Cangzhi Plane.”
Huang Yihe muttered for a moment, then flicked his wrist again, and two secret treasures flew out of his hand and entered Yang Feng’s hand: “This is a level-7 secret treasure Myriad Bones s.h.i.+eld and this is a level-7 secret treasure Imperial s.p.a.ce Sword. The Myriad Bones s.h.i.+eld can defend against most physical and magical attacks, while the Imperial s.p.a.ce Sword can strengthen your control of the law of s.p.a.ce. Studying the Imperial s.p.a.ce Sword will greatly benefit you in terms of comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce.”
Yang Feng said, overjoyed: “Thank you, Teacher!”
The two level-7 secret treasures specialized in defense and offense respectively. After Yang Feng got the two level-7 secret treasures, his combat power increased greatly. Without using world force of the small world, he could kill a junior Moonlight Warlock rank expert.
Level-7 secret treasures are extremely precious secret treasures that had to be used by Glorious Dawn Warlocks to fully display their strength. Only the Ten Great Sects, the Seven Great families, the Great Cloud Dynasty imperial court, and Magic Note, True G.o.d Hall, and other fearsome organizations can take such treasures out. In the Great Cloud Dynasty, there are many rogue Glorious Dawn Warlocks without a level-7 secret treasure. They were much weaker than Warlocks with large backgrounds.
Huang Yihe sighed lightly: “Thank me for what? Compared with the Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seed, these two level-7 secret treasures are hardly worth mentioning. Feng’er, if the lotus seed is taken out for trade, then those Infinity Warlock rank powerhouses will be willing to use a Monarch grade secret treasure to exchange for it.”
Secret treasures are divided into nine grades. Above level-9 secret treasures, there are the Monarch grade, then the Sage grade, and finally the Empyrean grade secret treasures.
Monarch grade secret treasures are mighty treasures used by Warlock Monarch rank powerhouses, and are one of the foundations of many formidable forces. With its heritage of more than 10,000 years, the Battle Demon Sect has no more than ten Monarch grade secret treasures.
With the deterrence of Monarch grade secret treasures, the Battle Demon Sect could become one of the Ten Great Sects despite having no Infinity Warlocks. If this wasn’t the case, the Battle Demon Sect would have been attacked, have all its resources looted, and its territory divided by others by now.
Of course, only Infinity Warlock rank experts may be able to use a Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seed to exchange for a Monarch grade secret treasure. If it was Yang Feng who took out a Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seed to do business with an Infinity Warlock, that would be very dangerous. The other party is most likely to kill him directly. Only some principled Infinity Warlock would deal with him fairly.
Huang Yihe also gave Yang Feng some pointers regarding questions he has encountered during cultivation. With Huang Yihe’s advice, the problems Yang Feng has encountered in his practice of cultivation were immediately solved.
After he left Huang Yihe’s side, Yang Feng immediately returned to his residence and began to study secret methods recorded in the Freak [1] Text.
The Time Text created by the Time Lord is all-encompa.s.sing. Among which, the Time Secret Method contains the path of the Time Lord, and is vast, profound, and mysterious. Once cultivated successfully, you’ll be able to control time.
At a glance, Yang Feng knew that even though his wisdom has skyrocketed after he has eaten the apple of wisdom, but it would still be difficult for him to study the Time Secret Method. It’s a secret method that powerhouses with special abilities and spatial bloodlines can master.
The seven Empyrean grade secret methods created by the seven Warlock Emperors can be cultivated by humans. However, no one has ever practiced the seven Empyrean grade secret methods step by step to the pinnacle, because of differences in const.i.tutions, bloodlines, and opportunities.
The Freak Text created by the Freak Lord mainly uses the Freak Empyrean Imprint to seal countless freaks and use their power to develop various fantastical abilities.
The Taboo Lord has used the bloodlines of countless experts to strengthen himself, and then purify the bloodline to give birth to the unique, perfect, and powerful taboo force. The Primal Chaos Annihilation Fist can crush and and destroy everything with pure strength.
The Primal Chaos Imperishable Body and the Freak Empyrean Imprint were the quintessence of the two Empyrean grade secret methods created by the Taboo Lord and the Freak Lord respectively.
Yang Feng has already cultivated the Primal Chaos Imperishable Body to the small completion realm, and his physical const.i.tution was now comparable to that of a junior Glorious Dawn Warlock. It was very difficult to make further progress. Only by studying the Freak Empyrean Imprint can he improve his fighting ability further.
After eating the apple of wisdom, Yang Feng was comparable to an Infinity Warlock in terms of wisdom. He quickly studied the Freak Empyrean Imprint thoroughly.
The core of this secret method lies in sealing freaks that walked different paths. The more freaks are sealed, the greater is the might the Freak Empyrean Imprint can display. When the time comes to seal Infinity Warlock rank freaks, you must refine a secret treasure to bear the existence of the Freak Empyrean Imprint, or else the imprint will no longer be able to maintain its existence.
