The palace was dim and dark. Chen Zong's sword hung low, facing him.
"In that battle, all my array items were destroyed. I guess the three Godly Treasures were damaged as well." Lord Gu Xu sighed. He already knew Chen Zong's main purpose for coming here was the three Godly Treasures. "However, the three Godly Treasures are the supreme array items of the Great Void Holy Sect. They were the culmination of the essence of the sect's array skills. They were peerless then, and even now, no one can surpass them."
Lord Gu Xu's voice was full of pride even though he was only left with a remnant of his soul. It was a kind of pride that came from deep within his bones and soul. It was an unshakable belief.
The Great Void Holy Sect was unparalleled in array skills and weapon forging.
If the Great Void Holy Gate had not been destroyed, the current level of array formation and weapon forging in the void would have been even higher. Even though there were people who had obtained some inheritance of array formation and weapon forging in the Great Void Holy Ruins, it was still difficult for them to reproduce their former glory.
"As long as the three Godly Treasures are not damaged, they will recover automatically even if they are damaged."
"However, with your current strength, even if you encounter the three Godly Treasures, you will not be able to take them."
"Senior, please tell me what you want. If I can do it, I will do my best," Chen Zong said seriously.
"I am only left with a remnant of my soul. The Great Void Holy Sect has been destroyed for countless years. What can I ask for?" Lord Gu Xu said self-deprecatingly. "Don't worry, I don't have any requests. I only hope that the human race will become stronger. You are a true disciple of the Heavenly Palace of Will, and you have met me. It is fate. Before my remnant soul dies, I hope that some of the Great Void Holy Sect's legacies will not be lost."
"I am only left with a remnant of my soul. I do not have enough power to imprint with my soul. I can only speak verbally. Listen carefully and remember. With the power of my remnant soul, I can only speak in detail once. How much you can remember depends on your ability."
With that, Lord Gu Xu began to recite. His voice suddenly became very mysterious, as if it contained some kind of secret of the Great Dao in the Void. It seemed to come from the Void and floated into Chen Zong's ears.
Every word carried an indescribable mystery, which left a deep impression on Chen Zong as soon as he heard it, as if it was going to be branded into his Divine Soul.
Chen Zong had memorized every single word that Venerable Gu Xu had said with his superb memory and comprehension, as well as Venerable Gu Xu's self-sacrifice. He had memorized every single word that Venerable Gu Xu had said.
When the last word was spoken, a ball of light shot out from the black shadow. It was a dark light, but it seemed to be directed towards the light. Accompanied by a shrill roar filled with unwillingness, the black shadow started burning.
It was the remnant soul of Honorable Gu Xu that had perished together with the Demonic Soul.
Chen Zong had learned a lot from the conversation just now.
For example, the Demonic Soul was formed from the souls of powerful cultivators who had died in the Great Void Divine Ruins. Their souls had been corroded by the baleful aura and other negative auras for many years, and they were unwilling to give up.
The stronger the unwillingness and resentment, the stronger the Devil Soul.
Venerable Gu Xu had a good mentality, so his Devil Soul was not very strong. Otherwise, Chen Zong would not have been his opponent.
The Devil Soul had the ability to invade one's soul, take over one's body, and turn into a demon. However, its nature was different.
In addition, Chen Zong also learned the names of some treasures, but unfortunately, he didn't know where those treasures were. The only good thing was that some clues might make it easier for him to find and discover them. It was better than nothing.
The biggest gain was probably the inheritance that Venerable Gu Xu had imparted.
The Void Refinement Seal!
It was also known as the 36th Tier of the Void Refinement Realm.
This was not an offensive or defensive Divine Ability, nor was it a cultivation formula. However, it was one of the most important and fundamental core Divine Abilities of the Great Void Divine Sect.
The function of the 36th Tier of the Void Refinement Realm was to refine the Great Void Divine Sect's formation equipment.
According to Honorable Gu Xu, the more powerful the Great Void Divine Sect's formation item was, the harder it was to collect it. One had to either have the corresponding Dharma Incantation or use an extremely powerful force to suppress and collect it by force.
Besides, there was a third method, which was the 36th Tier of the Void Refinement Realm.
In short, the 36th Tier of the Void Refinement Realm was a commonly used auxiliary Divine Ability to refine Great Void Divine Artifacts. It could replace some of the unique Divine Incantations of the Great Void Divine Artifacts. Once cultivated to the extreme, it was possible to refine or even refine the three Divine Artifacts of the Great Void.
Venerable Gu Xu had imparted this technique to Chen Zong because of fate, but also because he did not want it to end. Although he was not the only Dao Master in the Great Void Divine Sect who had mastered the 36th Tier of the Void Refinement Realm, no one could be sure that the other Dao Masters would be able to pass it down.
Other than the 36th Tier of the Void Refinement Realm, there were other auxiliary Divine Abilities. However, due to the exhaustion of the remnant soul and the Devil Soul, it could not be passed down. This was Venerable Gu Xu's last regret.
Chen Zong was naturally very attentive when it came to the collection of the three Divine Artifacts of the Great Void.
Enlightenment!
As one of the top auxiliary Divine Abilities of the Great Void Divine Sect, the Void Refinement Seal was naturally mysterious and profound. Even though Chen Zong had a high level of comprehension and was far superior to others, he still felt that it was very difficult.
Other than its mystery, Chen Zong did not have enough understanding of Array Artifacts. After all, the Void Refinement Seal was mainly used to target Array Artifacts, and the foundation of Array Artifacts was Array Dao.
As for Array Dao, Chen Zong could only say that he had scratched the surface. He could not even be considered a beginner. He was only slightly better than those cultivators who had never come into contact with Array Dao.
With a weak foundation and a high level of comprehension, Chen Zong did not leave the Void Refinement Hall. Instead, he continued to cultivate the Void Refinement Seal.
Over and over again, the so-called Void Refinement Seal naturally condensed into a mysterious seal.
At the first level, the seal was relatively illusory. It felt like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time. However, when Chen Zong cultivated to the second level, he realized that the Void Refinement Seal had become much more solid.
Cultivation, continuous cultivation. For a moment, Chen Zong forgot about everything else.
He formed a seal with both hands. In an instant, streaks of illusory flowing light were drawn in the void like a brush. They shuttled back and forth like butterflies. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a mysterious seal.
Void Refinement Seal!
"The 3rd level is the limit of what I can comprehend right now. Although I can still continue to improve, the amount of time I need to spend is at least ten times, or even tens of times more." Chen Zong thought to himself. Spending so much time just to reach the 4th level was too much.
After all, the opening time of the Great Void Ruins was limited.
For the first three levels, Chen Zong used the full power of the Ten Intents of Mind to deduce them. He was able to comprehend and cultivate them in a short period of time. As for the fourth level, it was even more difficult. Even if he had the power of the Ten Intents of Mind, he could not achieve it in a short period of time.
However, Chen Zong could use the Two Intents of Mind to comprehend the fourth level as he hurried along. It was less efficient and took longer, but it would not hinder his movements.
The urgent thing now was to recover the mental strength that he had consumed.
…
"Void Refinement Hall." A figure descended and appeared in front of the hall. When he looked up, he was delighted. Then, his expression changed. "Someone entered before me."
In a flash, the black-robed figure immediately entered the Void Refinement Hall. It was empty, but there were still traces of the cauldron being taken away. It was still very fresh.
Enter!
Enter!
Enter!
The figure continued to enter until he saw two figures in the last hall of the Void Refinement Hall.
One of them was Chen Zong, who was sitting cross-legged to recover his mental strength. The other was the body of Venerable Gu Xu.
The newcomer's gaze swept across the hall and landed on Chen Zong. His mind spun rapidly and he made a decision in an instant.
Attack!
The treasures in the Void Refinement Hall must have been taken by this person. Since he was the first to arrive, he would be able to obtain the treasures as well as the treasures on his body as long as he killed this person.
Of course, he also dared to attack because he sensed that this person's cultivation was only at the initial level of the Yuan Underworld Stage, while he was at the middle level of the Yuan Underworld Stage.
The Yuan Underworld Stage wasn't like the Dao Controlling Stage, where there were many divisions between the first and the ninth revolution. The difference between the initial level and the middle level was greater than the difference between the first and the third revolution of the Dao Controlling Stage.
Even if the other party was a genius, the disparity in cultivation would make the other party no match for him.
Chen Zong had sensed this person the moment he arrived. He had also sensed the other party's cultivation. The reason he hadn't reacted was because his mental strength hadn't fully recovered. However, when the other party attacked, Chen Zong opened his eyes and a sharp light shot out like a sword. It seemed to be able to penetrate everything, causing the other party's heart to tremble and palpitations to erupt for no reason.
There was no posture, but a sword-light suddenly flashed in front of him. It was incomparably sharp and directly tore through the black light as if it was tearing the black sky apart.
It was too fast and extremely sharp. The figure was so shocked that he couldn't dodge it at all.
Kill!
The sword slashed through the air.
It should be known that although Chen Zong's cultivation was only at the initial level of the Yuan Underworld Stage, his combat strength could reach the five-star level, which was very shocking. Although this person's cultivation was at the intermediate level of the Yuan Underworld Stage, his combat strength was actually only at the peak of the three-star level.
The difference between a three-star level and a five-star level was simply overwhelming.
The sword-light was withdrawn and returned to the scabbard. Chen Zong didn't get up.
He continued to recover his Mental Energy. Only when his Mental Energy was fully recovered did he stand up. With a flash, he appeared beside the severed body.
Even the person's soul hadn't escaped. It had been directly shattered by Chen Zong's sword.
Otherwise, if a Yuan Underworld Stage powerhouse's soul had escaped after their body was destroyed, they could still survive for a period of time and take over the body of someone who hadn't condensed a soul yet.
The other party's storage ring was also taken by Chen Zong. He checked it and found that it was relatively ordinary. There wasn't anything that could make Chen Zong's eyes light up. However, it was better than nothing. He treated it as a way to enrich his accumulation and wealth.
His wealth had been accumulated little by little like this.
As for the other party's identity, Chen Zong didn't pay too much attention to it. Regardless of the other party's identity, since the other party had made a move on him and tried to kill him, he wouldn't show any mercy. Of course, if the other party had the ability to escape from his sword, he wouldn't deliberately chase after them.
It could only be said that this person was very unlucky. He had underestimated the difference in strength and was courting death.
