Combat Weapon, Pellets, and Martial Techniques. These were the three main ways for a martial cultivator to increase their strength.
But other than these three, a martial cultivator's strength was also affected by other factors, such as the level of compatibility with the divine runes.
In the second room, there were only Combat Weapons, Pellets, and Martial Techniques. As expected, Shu Chan couldn't open the stone door leading to the next room.
Long Yu secretly activated the Asura Source Stone and easily opened the door, causing Shu Chan to click her tongue in wonder.
"Long Yu, looks like your attainments in the Asura divine rune are even deeper than mine. Amazing, amazing."
Shu Chan said with a smile.
"It's just a fortuitous encounter in the Asura Abyss."
Long Yu casually smiled and took the lead to walk into the third treasury room.
There were even fewer things in this room. Only a few items were placed on the shelves, but with a single glance, one could tell that they were truly good stuff.
Three of the pellet bottles were filled with translucent spherical crystals about the size of a thumb. They were actually the essence of a god's descendant that could increase a martial cultivator's compatibility with the divine rune!
Long Yu and Shu Chan had already used this once. If they wanted to use it again, they would have to wait until they stepped into the Imperial Path Mystic Realm. Even if they absorbed it now, it wouldn't have any effect.
"Man 'zi, take one and absorb it first. We'll talk about the other two in the future."
Long Yu threw one of the god's descendant essences to Man Xin.
Man Xin caught it without hesitation. After some explanation, he learned that it could increase his compatibility with the divine rune. It was an extremely rare treasure.
The current Man Xin was only at the first level of compatibility with the shadow divine rune, which was still considered weak. If he could improve it further, he would be able to display even more power than the Stormy Demonic Saber.
With the inheritance of the Stormy Demonic Saber, if Man Xin fully matured, he would definitely not be weaker than Shu Chan!
"I'm afraid we'll face more dangers after we leave this place. I'll directly absorb it to increase my strength. Brother Long, Princess, you two continue forward."
After Man Xin obtained the Divine Child Essence, he decided to absorb it completely.
Long Yu didn't have any objections to this, so he nodded and said, "Mm, only the Asura divine runes can open the stone door in this place, so the possibility of outsiders entering is very low. You can stay here and absorb the Divine Spawn essence."
In addition to the Divine Spawn Essence, there were other special treasures in the third room. Among them were two Divine Runes!
A Divine Rune engraving can be used by a martial cultivator to comprehend the second level of Divine Rune power, but for the martial cultivators of Shen Wu world, they don't know about the three levels of Divine Rune power.
Comprehension through copying, comprehension through engraving, and comprehension through Divine Runic Sources. The difference in the power of Divine Runes that one comprehended from these three paths was enormous. They were separated into three different realms. But to the martial cultivators of Shen Wu world, comprehending Divine Runic Sources was the same as nothing. This was because Shen Wu world didn't have any Divine Runic Sources.
The Divine Rune Source is the place where the most fundamental power of the universe gathers, and Shen Wu world is only a miniature world of the Nine Underworlds Dragon, so of course it wouldn't have a Divine Rune Source.
Therefore, in Shen Wu world, Divine Rune engraving was the path that allowed martial cultivators to comprehend the strongest Divine Rune!
Right now, Long Yu had 108 Divine Runes of Death and more than 70 Asura Divine Runes. But to give everyone in Heavenly Mandate Manor and Asura Mansion a Divine Rune, it was still a long way off. Especially when General Huo Yuanbai would bring a hundred or so martial cultivators of the Nightmare Legion to the North Snow Empire.
"When things settle down, I'll release all the disciples of the Zhentian Clan from the Dragon Bone Tower. There are several hundred of them … I'll need to train them well."
Long Yu thought to himself.
For the time being, he didn't release all the disciples of the Zhentian Clan, because he was afraid that Heavenly Mandate Manor would be too chaotic. After all, this was a new territory, and he didn't want Hongyue to be too tired from managing it.
The next time Long Yu returned, he would release all the disciples of the Zhentian Clan. The entire population of Heavenly Mandate Manor would definitely exceed a thousand people.
Without enough cultivation resources, these disciples of the Zhentian Clan would never have a future in the North Snow Empire. They would even be discriminated against wherever they went.
Long Yu, who had brought everyone out of Heavenly Mandate Island, certainly didn't want to see such a situation happen.
The King of Shadows had prepared two Divine Runes for Shu Chan. One was the Divine Rune of Flame, and the other was the Divine Rune of Life. Needless to say, they were precious.
"Long Yu, you have a level four affinity with the Divine Rune of Life. How about I give this Divine Rune of Life to you?"
Shu Chan suggested.
"There's no need."
Long Yu shook his head. "Even if you give this Divine Rune of Life to me, I won't have time to comprehend it."
This was the truth. Right now, Long Yu had two Divine Rune Source Stones. One was the Asura Source Stone, and the other was the Death Source Stone in the Envoy of Death's hand. If Long Yu wanted to comprehend the Divine Rune of Death, the Envoy of Death would take it out and give it to Long Yu.
Right now, Long Yu had only comprehended one thousandth of the Divine Rune of Death. There was still a long way to go. For now, he certainly wouldn't have time to comprehend the other Divine Runes of Life.
Long Yu had the Self-Healing Divine Rune and the Siphon Divine Rune, which were enough for now. He only needed to cultivate the Dominating Body of Hades well, and his life would not be threatened under normal circumstances.
If he encountered an opponent who was too strong, then it would be useless no matter how many Divine Runes of Life he comprehended.
The two of them put away the Divine Runes and the Divine Rune Essence. There was only one thing left in the third treasure room — it was a black charcoal-like object. It had the power of some kind of Divine Rune of Shadow on it, but no one knew what it was.
Next to the object, there was a small note, which seemed to be explaining its origin.
"This object has been around for a long time. I found it when I was traveling when I was young. With it, I comprehended the Divine Rune of Demonic Trace and created the Demonic Trace of Shadow, which became the number one sect in Shura Prefecture! Perhaps through this item, Your Highness and the others will be able to find its source and obtain even greater power. "
This string of small words indicated the origin of the black charcoal-like object. It turned out to be the founding object of the Demonic Trace of Shadow!
"He actually left this thing for me … In my opinion, we should give this to the genius of Mo Zhaitian."
Shu Chan's eyes lit up, but then she thought of Mo Zhaitian.
Mo Zhaitian was currently training in the North Snow Empire. If he could obtain this object, his strength would definitely increase by a level. Moreover, this object originally belonged to Mo Zhaitian, but the King of Shadow could only leave it in this treasure room and lock it with the Divine Rune of Asura, so that Shu Chan could take it.
"I don't care."
Long Yu nodded. No matter what kind of inheritance this black charcoal-like object represented, it was still inferior to the inheritance of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds, so there was no need for him to fight for it.
The Envoy of Death did not say anything, which meant that this object was incomparable to the inheritance of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds, so there was no need for Long Yu to fight for it.
"There's still the last room."
Shu Chan raised her head and looked at the last stone door of the Shadow Treasure Room. Her eyes flashed with doubt. "The King of Shadow even left the object that he created the Demonic Trace of Shadow in the third room. What else could be more precious in the fourth room?"
"Let's go in and take a look."
Long Yu activated the Asura Source Stone and gradually opened the fourth stone door. Soon, he saw that there was nothing special in the next room. There was only a stone platform in the center, and on the stone platform, there was something that seemed to be a piece of white bone.
"It's a piece of bone."
Long Yu frowned slightly.
"And this bone doesn't seem to have any power."
With doubt in her heart, Shu Chan stepped into the fourth treasure room.
The two of them looked at the stone platform in the center and saw a piece of white bone that was three feet long. It didn't look like a human's bone, but rather a part of a giant ancient creature.
"It's the remains of an Ancient Dragonesque Elephant."
Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, the Death Envoy's awe-inspiring voice rang out in Long Yu's ears. It was a voice that only he could hear. "Primordial Dragonesque Elephants are a race that Lord Dragon Emperor Nine Nether had captured and placed in his own Small World to breed … It seems that even this Primordial Dragonesque Elephant race was unable to escape the calamity back then. Otherwise, with the power and lifespan of the Primordial Dragonesque Elephant race, they wouldn't be so unknown in this world."
"Then what's the use of this Ancient Dragonesque Elephant's white bone?"
A thought flashed in Long Yu's mind, and he asked.
"It can be used to refine Combat Weapons. If the Ancient Dragonesque Elephant's bone is used as the main material for weapon refinement, the weapon refined will at least be an Ancient Grade Combat Weapon."
The Envoy of Death's cold voice continued to reach Long Yu's ears. "It can also be used to refine pills. If this three-feet long Ancient Dragonesque Elephant's bone is given to an outstanding alchemist, it can be used to refine at least ten Dragonesque Elephant Pills. This is an Ancient Grade Pill, consuming it can permanently strengthen a Martial Cultivator's body."
"It's actually an Ancient Grade material for weapon refinement and pill refinement!"
Long Yu's eyes immediately lit up. This was a real treasure that was hard to come by!
The Envoy of Death didn't say anything when the charcoal-like Devil Trace Creation Artifact appeared, but this Ancient Dragonesque Elephant's bone actually attracted the Envoy of Death's attention. It was obvious that this was a real treasure.
Compared to Combat Weapons, Long Yu wanted to use this Ancient Dragonesque Elephant's bone to refine ten Dragonesque Elephant Pills. This is an Ancient Grade Pill, consuming it can permanently strengthen a Martial Cultivator's body, equivalent to a powerful Body Tempering Martial Skill!
In Shen Wu world, most Martial Cultivators don't train in Body Tempering Martial Skills. That's because Body Tempering Martial Skills have low attack power, they can only passively defend. Not only are they extremely hard to train, they also don't have much use.
But the Dragonesque Elephant Pill is different, as long as one consumes it, it can automatically change a Martial Cultivator's body, they don't even need to do anything to strengthen their body.
In the entire Shen Wu world, such a pill has never appeared before!
"To refine an Ancient pill, you'll need to at least reach the Emperor realm. In this Shen Wu world, there aren't many Alchemists at the Emperor realm"
The Envoy of Death coldly mocked Long Yu.
"It's fine, I'll be able to step into the Emperor realm sooner or later, it won't be too late to refine pills then"
