The Jin Dan Phenomenon Ranking this time round was different from the previous ones.
More than half of the cultivators on the ranking were dead.
Apart from some weapons and cultivation techniques, the remaining cultivators obtained quite a number of Soul Nourishing Blood Ginsengs as well.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul realm and cultivating an Essence Spirit, they would have to consume such spirit refinement items.
A moment later, Su Zimo, Ming Zhen, Pang Yue and a few other top ten cultivators of the Phenomenon Ranking arrived at the foot of the Myriad Phenomenon Mountain.
Perfected Lord Yu Jun took a deep breath of air and conjured a series of mysterious hand seals. Finally, he extended his index finger and touched his glabella gently.
His glabella shone and released a spirit consciousness fluctuation that landed on the Ancient Phenomenon Stele.
Boom!
The ancient stele shook violently, as though it was about to be uprooted from the ground!
Immediately after, the Ancient Phenomenon Stele emitted beams of light that shone on Su Zimo and the others. It was blurry and chaotic.
It was a mysterious feeling.
Su Zimo could sense that the Ancient Phenomenon Stele seemed to have come alive!
It was as though there was a lifeform that had just awakened within the ancient stele and was' looking 'at him.
A mysterious power swept through every single corner of his body like flowing water, gentle and delicate. It was as though the lifeform wanted to see through Su Zimo completely!
The others were experiencing the same thing.
However, before long, the beams of light on Ming Zhen and the others dissipated and one or two shimmering items appeared above each of their heads.
An ancient lamp with a mottled bronze color hovered above Ming Zhen's head.
The fire within the lamp was extinguished a long time ago. However, the lamp emitted a mysterious glow.
Beside the ancient lamp was a yellow scroll.
A green lamp and a yellow scroll!
The yellow scroll was definitely a cultivation technique or secret skill. However, no one could tell what grade it was or what its contents were.
However, six patterns could be vaguely seen on the green lamp!
A connate Dharmic weapon!
Many cultivators gripped their fists with blazing gazes.
Everyone was tempted by the appearance of a connate Dharmic weapon!
However, everyone knew that although the young monk Ming Zhen seemed ignorant of the ways of the world, nobody could touch him at all!
Right now, he could be considered as a disciple of Dapamkara Monastery and had the protection of Monk Yin Lu.
Furthermore, he was one of Su Zimo's subordinates.
Even without these, Ming Zhen's own strength was enough to intimidate everyone present.
"Good, good, good!"
Monk Yin Lu nodded repeatedly.
This green lamp was perfect for Ming Zhen, and that yellow scroll didn't look like an ordinary item either!
A sheathed sword and a sword manual appeared above Dugu Jian's head.
A pitch-black sword hilt and a pitch-black scabbard.
If one did not look carefully, they would have mistaken it for a black stick.
"It seems to be six mystical patterns?"
"As expected, it's another connate Dharmic weapon!"
"The rewards for the Phenomenon Ranking this time round are way too generous. Two connate Dharmic weapons have already appeared!"
In the past, it was already considered good if a connate Dharmic weapon appeared among the rewards of the Phenomenon Ranking.
"Quick, look at that spear above Pang Yue's head!"
"Hiss! Another connate Dharma treasure? "
Unlike Ming Zhen and Dugu Jian, Pang Yue's reward was not a cultivation technique or secret skill, only a weapon.
Even so, it was enough to make others envious.
"Hahahaha!"
Pang Yue laughed heartily as he reached out and grabbed the spear above his head.
With the great spear in hand, Pang Yue's body sank.
It was so heavy!
The spear was more than 30 feet long and its tip shone with a cold glint with two blades.
A series of mysterious patterns were etched on the body of the spear and were one with the tip – it was domineering!
Ordinary cultivators would not be able to wield such a heavy and clumsy spear. It was only suitable for a tall and strong cultivator like Pang Yue to wield it.
Three connate Dharmic weapons had appeared consecutively and many cultivators looked towards Su Zimo instinctively.
"Eh, strange."
"Why hasn't the light on Su Zimo dissipated yet?"
Su Zimo's eyes were tightly shut and he did not move at all.
The 'water current' released by the Ancient Phenomenon Stele brushed past his body time after time.
Su Zimo had a hallucination that the lifeform within the Ancient Phenomenon Stele seemed to be trying its best to investigate his body and uncover the secrets within. However, it could not do anything about it!
An unknown period of time passed.
Finally, the light on Su Zimo's body dissipated gradually.
Two items appeared above his head as well.
However, both of them looked ancient and did not emit any light.
One of them was an ancient book.
It should be some sort of cultivation technique or secret skill that no one could tell for sure.
The other item was a bare green lotus platform that was extremely dark without any patterns. It was so tattered that no one would touch it even if it was tossed to the side of the road.
"What's that?"
"I don't know. There are no Dharmic patterns on it either. It's probably some trash."
"Three connate Dharmic weapons have already appeared. The rewards for the Phenomenon Ranking this time round are already extraordinary. There's no way anything good will appear."
"Su Zimo's luck is really bad."
Many cultivators discussed softly.
"That doesn't make sense,"
Lin Xuanji glared at the two items in midair and frowned, murmuring softly, "Back at the Astral Dragon Sputum Lair, that lad snatched away quite a number of dragon veins and was blessed with providence. That can't be it, right?"
"Could it be that the technique is too shocking?"
Curious, Lin Xuanji closed in and asked softly, "What's that cultivation technique?"
Su Zimo took the ancient book in midair and flipped it open gently. On the first page, there were five words – Great Day Rulai Sutra!
Lin Xuanji was shocked when he saw those words.
Su Zimo's pupils constricted slightly as well.
As the successor of Enigma Palace, Lin Xuanji was knowledgeable and naturally knew of the origin of that cultivation technique.
Su Zimo had been in seclusion at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley for 20 years. As the head of both Fahua and Daming Monasteries, he chanted sutras daily and comprehended the Dao and Zen – he knew quite a bit about the Buddhist monasteries.
In the ancient era, when the cultivation civilization was just established, the Buddhist monasteries had yet to be split into the various sects and factions of the future.
The Great Day Rulai Sutra was a secret manual of the ancient Buddhist monasteries and was a heaven-grade cultivation technique for spirit refinement.
It was said that when this cultivation technique was cultivated to its limits, one could conjure the supreme Dharma Characteristic of the Buddhist monasteries – the Rulai Dharmic Body!
Every single move could destroy the world and subdue fiends!
Su Zimo kept the secret manual of the Buddhist monasteries in his storage bag without batting an eyelid.
Even if other heaven-grade cultivation techniques were exposed, they would definitely attract the covetous gazes of many cultivators, let alone the Great Day Rulai Sutra.
Right now, including the Purple Thunder Manual in his storage bag, Su Zimo already possessed two heaven-grade cultivation techniques for spirit refinement.
With such unique conditions, his cultivation would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort once he advanced to the Nascent Soul realm!
Su Zimo raised his head and looked at the tattered green lotus platform in midair with a slight frown.
He was the number one of the Phenomenon Ranking and the Ancient Phenomenon Stele would not throw out a random piece of trash.
However, he could not tell what was strange about the green lotus platform.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the three Genying Zhenjun not far away instinctively.
Perfected Lord Yu Jun looked at Monk Yin Lu at the side and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, this green lotus platform should be that legendary item, right?"
"It should be,"
Monk Yin Lu nodded with a grim expression.
