As soon as his finger came into contact with the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body manual, the Library of Heaven's Path had already compiled its contents. To Zhang Xuan, it didn't matter whether he read it or not.
Zhang Xuan had thought that given how high the tier of the book was, it would surely be even more profound. Yet, who could have thought that there would be a total of 78 flaws in it?
If only he knew that this lousy item was so trashy, he wouldn't have come all the way here. He would have just returned to Huanyu Capital to collect it.
As long as there were enough body tempering techniques, the effects would be much better!
What a huge loss!
His face was gloomy.
However, it was too late to say anything now. Shaking his head, he walked up to the puppet and placed it into his storage ring.
Although this fellow had been decapitated and turned into a cripple, its entire body had been refined to become indestructible. It was definitely a good item.
He wanted to take it back for research and see if he could extract some rare ores from it.
After walking out of the hall and into the small stone room, Luo Qiqi took out her longsword. The two of them walked up the stairs and arrived in front of the Dragon Severing Lock again.
Zhang Xuan's finger traced the Dragon Severing Lock for a long time. Then, according to the location recorded in the book, he gently pressed it.
Crack!
The sound of a lock spring being activated rang out, followed by the Dragon Severing Lock shaking.
"It's done?" Luo Qiqi's eyes lit up as she reached out to push the rock. However, her face turned red, but the rock didn't budge at all.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
As a Transcendent Mortal 6-dan Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle cultivator, Luo Qiqi possessed a strength exceeding 6.2 million ding. It was one thing for her to be unable to open the Dragon Severing Lock when it was locked, but now that the mechanism was activated, why was it still unable to move?
"Let me try!"
Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows and exerted strength in his arms.
Rumble!
Xiao Chen's physical body, Soul Energy, and Veritable Energy all added together, a strength of over nine million cauldron surged out and infused into the Dragon Breaking Lock.
Hu!
The big guy above him remained motionless, as if it was glued to the top.
"This …" Loosening his grip, Zhang Xuan's head was filled with bewilderment. "Could it be that … after two thousand years, this thing has already broken down?"
According to the book left behind by Wu Yangzi, as long as the mechanism was triggered, the Dragon Severing Lock should be able to be opened. Yet... why was it that even after going through so much effort, the Dragon Severing Lock was still ineffective?
That can't be!
If it was really broken, he would really cry.
Even a Saint would find it hard to break the Dragon Severing Lock, let alone them.
The only way out, could it be … gone just like that?
"It's written here that even if the Dragon Severing Lock's spring mechanism is activated, it's not something that can be easily pushed aside. It requires pure physical strength to do so. Once zhenqi is involved, the spring will automatically lock itself …"
Luo Qiqi said as she took out Wuyangzi's Blacksmith Heritage and flipped through it.
"Pure physical strength?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
"Indeed. The Dragon Severing Lock is made up of a mechanism and a unique mechanism, so it is extremely sensitive to zhenqi... Since Wu Yangzi laoshi left such a mechanism behind, he probably didn't want the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to notice it. The killing intent unique to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is similar to that of zhenqi. Once the killing intent of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe enters the Dragon Severing Lock, it will automatically seal itself. Even if the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe knows of the mechanism, they won't be able to open it!"
Luo Qiqi said.
"Oh!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Given how Wu Yangzi had plotted the deaths of so many Otherworldly Demons, it was indeed possible for him to design such a trap.
If an Otherworldly Demon were to obtain his heritage, even if they knew that there was a way out of this dimension, they would still be unable to leave.
"Let me give it another try!"
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuan retracted his zhenqi and soul energy, and with a jolt of his muscles, he pushed the Dragon Severing Lock forward.
Geji! Geji!
A deep creaking sound echoed from the Dragon Severing Lock, but it was still unable to open.
"I don't have enough strength!"
"Let me help you!"
Luo Qiqi walked over, and the two of them pushed the Dragon Severing Lock together, only to find that they were unable to open it either.
In other words, the combined strength of their physical body was still insufficient to open the Dragon Severing Lock.
However, it was clear that the Dragon Severing Lock was no longer as immobile as before. In other words, the only thing they lacked was strength.
"Even though I can't open it, the mechanism isn't locked. Right now... the only thing I can do is to raise my physical strength as soon as possible!"
Luo Qiqi frowned.
In truth, Zhang Xuan could summon his clone and have it work together with his main body to open the Dragon Severing Lock. However... he didn't want others to know about the mystical properties of his clone yet.
If they were to learn of it, not only would the matter regarding Yang shi be exposed, the fact that he was a soul oracle would also be exposed.
"Raise my physical strength? Teacher means that... I should cultivate the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body? "
Luo Qiqi was taken aback.
"Un. This could very well be a test from Elder Wu Yangzi. If I can't even cultivate the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body, the Saint-tier artifact smithing he promised me would be nothing but a lie... Since that's the case, I might as well stay here to accompany him! "
Zhang Xuan analyzed.
It must be said that Elder Wu Yangzi had taken everything into consideration.
His meticulousness was truly frightening.
To be able to design such an intricate mechanism and fool so many Otherworldly Demons into committing suicide, the Grandmaster Blacksmith must have taken everything into consideration.
Otherwise, there was no way he would have the last laugh. He would have long been killed by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"Cultivate now?" A conflicted look appeared on Luo Qiqi's face. "Cultivating one's physical body isn't something that can be accomplished in a single day. It will require several years of continuous cultivation. Are we going to be trapped here for many years?"
Just like zhenqi cultivation, physical body cultivation was a cultivation system. Without several years or decades of hard work, it would be nigh impossible for one to make any progress.
If they had to cultivate before they could leave... how long would that take?
It couldn't be that they were going to die here, right?
"Other than... the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body, do you have any other physical body cultivation techniques on you?"
Seeing the frown on Luo Qiqi's forehead, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Other physical body cultivation techniques? I do have quite a few of them, but... they aren't of particularly high tier, and they aren't particularly powerful either! "
Luo Qiqi was taken aback for a moment before replying.
As a 5-star apothecary and blacksmith, she had high requirements for her physical body as well. As such, she had quite a few physical body cultivation techniques, just that they weren't of high tier, far inferior to the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body.
"Bring them over for me to take a look!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. It was just a casual question, but he didn't think that she would really have them.
"Alright!"
Knowing that her teacher must have his reasons for saying such words, Luo Qiqi didn't probe any further. With a flick of her wrist, a pile of books fell onto the stone steps. There were at least several hundred of them.
"So many..."
Zhang Xuan had thought that the other party would only have a dozen or so books. He didn't think that there would be so many of them. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked up the books one by one.
"Actually... a classmate of mine collected them for me. Back when I was taking the 5-star blacksmith examination, my physical constitution wasn't strong enough, so I collected these books for him..."
Luo Qiqi said awkwardly.
Even someone as unruly as Princess Yu Fei-er had many suitors. Given Luo Qiqi's beauty, it went without saying that she had no lack of suitors as well.
Back when she failed the 5-star blacksmith examination, a senior of the Blacksmith School who was pursuing her had collected so many physical body cultivation technique manuals and sent them over.
She had been wanting to return them to the other party, but she hadn't found an opportunity to do so. Since her teacher needed them now, she decided to take them out.
"Not bad..."
After collecting the several hundred books, Zhang Xuan stood up and activated his consciousness.
Hu!
A brand new Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path, and he casually flipped it open.
It was densely packed with content, but there were only four flaws.
"This is great!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
It was just a moment ago that he was still feeling stifled by the numerous flaws in the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body. Who could have thought that Luo Qiqi's physical body cultivation technique would be able to patch up those flaws so easily? Even though there were still four flaws, he should be able to cultivate it much faster than before!
With this, he would be able to raise his physical body to an incomparably powerful state within two hours!
"Let's return to the main hall first!"
The stone steps were narrow, making it inconvenient for them to cultivate. Thus, the duo returned to the main hall, sat down on the floor, and began cultivating.
Understanding her teacher's intentions, Luo Qiqi flipped open the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body.
"The Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body wasn't created by me but obtained from an ancient site. There is a total of five levels to it, and they are known as the Five Incandescence. Upon reaching the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body, one's physical body will glow with a five-colored radiance, granting it unparalleled might... Even I have only reached the level of Three Incandescence!"
An introduction was written on the first page.
After looking through it for a moment, Luo Qiqi couldn't help but be impressed.
She had to admit that the person who created this cultivation technique was indeed a genius.
She had seen many talented and formidable master teachers in the Master Teacher Academy, and she had heard of many powerful physical body cultivation technique manuals as well. However, none of them seemed to be able to match up to the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body!
However, while it was powerful, it was indeed difficult to cultivate it successfully.
Putting everything aside, once one reached the Second Incandescence, one would require all kinds of resources to cultivate it.
Even though she had quite a few pills and medicinal herbs on her, they clearly didn't meet the requirements.
"Forget it, I should just cultivate the First Incandescence and leave this place first …"
Thus, Luo Qiqi flipped through the contents of the First Incandescence.
"In order to cultivate this Quintuple Incandescence, one will have to gather all of one's strength. Those who are talented will be able to reach Major Accomplishment within two years whereas those who are less talented will need at least ten years!"
Such a sentence was written on the first line of the book.
"Two years?"
Luo Qiqi's mouth twitched.
If she were to be locked up here for two years, the entire academy would probably think that she was dead!
More importantly, this was on top of the fact that she was talented. If she were to fail in two years, wouldn't she be locked up here for ten years?
"What nonsense are you thinking about? I should hurry up and cultivate. The sooner I succeed, the sooner I can leave this place!"
Shaking her head, Luo Qiqi tossed aside the nonsensical thoughts in her mind. Gritting her teeth, she began memorizing the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body. Some time later, just as she was about to finish memorizing the content of the Quintuple Incandescence, she suddenly saw Zhang Shi standing up.
"Let's go!"
"Where?"
Luo Qiqi was taken aback.
She hadn't even started cultivating yet, so why was he in such a hurry?
"Of course, we're leaving. Don't you want to leave?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"I …"
A bizarre expression appeared on Luo Qiqi's face. "Of course I want to leave, but … didn't we come here to cultivate because we were unable to open the Dragon Severing Lock? I have just finished reading the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body Incandescence, and I haven't had the time to cultivate yet … "
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "It's fine, I'm done cultivating!"
"You're done cultivating?"
Luo Qiqi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
While she was still perplexed, the duo had already arrived before the Dragon Severing Lock. At this moment, Zhang Shi raised his arm and exerted strength.
Weng!
A brilliant light shone from his body, and 'jiya!', the Dragon Severing Lock broke open.
"Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body … Quintuple Incandescence? What is going on? "
Luo Qiqi's body swayed weakly. She was on the verge of going insane.
Didn't you say that you haven't read the book?
What the heck is going on?
