"S-class key item?"
Although Lu Yuan remained calm on the surface, he was quite moved inside.
Even though he didn't know the specific use of this fragmented map,
Judging from the clues, this map could definitely greatly advance his main quest!
"Not enough."
Lu Yuan said expressionlessly.
Chen Hongyu paused for a moment before taking another item out of the drawer.
"This is an energy potion I have newly developed, its medicinal effect is equivalent to high-level spiritual medicine!"
"Not enough."
"This is a special class of biological battle armour made of nano-active materials, which can automatically cover the whole body and defend against the most lethal light weapon attacks!"
"Not enough."
"This is the Qing Frost Sword forged from alien meteorite iron, it can cut through steel like mud, one sword can cut through a heavy armoured vehicle!"
"Not enough!"
"In the Nova Database, there are hundreds of advanced martial arts from all over the world, tens of thousands of common fighting skills, and vast amounts of martial arts classics."
"I can give you partial access to Nova's permissions!"
"Not enough."
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu's forehead bulged with anger and he pulled a button out of his pocket.
"This underground lab is embedded with billions of explosive equivalents. As long as I flip the switch, even in the realm of Martial Dao..."
"Enough!"
Lu Yuan decided to stop.
One day later.
Lu Yuan left his genetic data behind and returned to Emei Mountain with various loot.
Using his inner energy, Lu Yuan helped Tian Yaoyao and others recover from their injuries.
When everyone's injuries had healed,
He suddenly remembered the fragmented map and immediately asked.
"Elders, have you heard of the Ancient Qi Refiners?"
"Qi Refiners?"
Everyone looked puzzled, even the sweeping monk indicated that he had never heard of them.
Only the Wudang Grandmaster pondered for a moment before speaking solemnly.
"In a scroll left by our Wudang ancestor, there is indeed a record of Qi Refiners."
"According to our ancestor, in ancient times, there was a brilliant and glorious Qi Refining civilisation."
"The Qi Refiners were powerful, able to control magic, pluck stars and moons, and travel through space."
"But for some unknown reason, the ancient Qi Refiners disappeared overnight without a trace, as if they had been completely erased from history."
The Grandmaster sighed.
In the past, even Master Zhang had searched for the traces left by the Qi Refiners, but to no avail.
Ancient Qi Refining civilisation?
Lu Yuan's heart stirred.
He thought of the Seventh Level Anomaly sleeping in the core of the sun.
The situation of that anomaly,
It seemed less like sleeping.
It was more like being sealed by someone for tens of thousands of years.
And that someone had to be the Ancient Qi Refiners!
"Map of Guanghan Palace?"
"Could it be the palace the ancient Qi Refiners left on the moon?"
Lu Yuan put down the map without making any hasty moves.
Even though he had reached the peak of Martial Dao,
In the face of the Seventh Level Anomaly, he didn't even have the qualifications to look the other party in the eye.
Besides, the map was very incomplete and practically useless.
A few days later,
Lu Yuan returned to the headquarters of the Martial Dao Institute.
A new round of closed cultivation begins.
Three months later,
When he reached the limit of his strength and couldn't go any further,
He finally realised a very serious problem.
This era of thin spiritual energy was coming to an end,
He might have reached the limit of Martial Dao.
In order to progress, he had to find a new way.
So he did,
He desperately studied the martial arts classics, extracting more information about the ancient qi refining civilisation from the voluminous records.
He even found a fragmented cultivation technique.
Unfortunately,
The ancient Qi Refining cultivation technique required a large amount of spiritual energy and resources, which was even less viable in this era of decline.
"Since the previous cultivation method doesn't work, I'm going to create a new fighting method on my own!"
With the help of [Eureka Moment],
An insane idea suddenly popped into Lu Yuan's mind.
Think and do.
Half a year later,
After countless efforts and risking several Noval overloads that resulted in paralysis,
Lu Yuan had finally discovered the prototype of the Qi and Blood Martial Way!
Replacing spiritual energy with qi and blood, unlocking the secrets of the body and unleashing one's potential.
Not to cultivate techniques, only to perfect oneself!
If you follow this path to the end,
With an ordinary person's body, one could tear apart the universe and transcend beyond it!
What's more,
The Qi and Blood Martial Way wasn't so strict on a warrior's ability and talent.
Even ordinary people could cultivate it!
Once widely promoted,
Everyone could be as fierce as a dragon, and the nation could practise martial arts together!
[Reversing Fate: By creating your own Qi and Blood Martial Way, you have achieved an unprecedented feat and brought a glimmer of hope to this world on the brink of destruction!]
[Reward: 50,000 simulation points!]
[Main quest completion: 70%!]
[Simulation Rating upgraded to SS Rank!]
[Five Obstacles: The arrival of the Cataclysm has been delayed by thirty years, you can stay in this world for another 75 years!]
[Duration of Hard Work Pays Off increased to 24 hours!]
[Because of your outstanding performance, you have attracted the attention of the Will of this world!]
[The Will of this World has filled in the missing parts of the Guanghan Palace map for you!]
[Your Guanghan Palace Map has been upgraded to an SS level item!]
[You have received a blessing from the Will of this World, your strength has skyrocketed, becoming the strongest in this era!]
Hiss!
He saw a series of commands,
Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
Especially the last reward made him ecstatic.
The strongest of this era!
Simple, brutal.
Against the heavens!
"World Will, I would like to know what exactly is hidden in the Guanghan Palace?"
Lu Yuan asked cautiously, not expecting much.
After all, he had never heard of anyone being able to talk to the World Will.
But after a few minutes,
The World Will actually answered him.
[Hint: The Guanghan Palace buries the forgotten truth of this world, which will affect the fate of this world!]
"Is the Guanghan Palace dangerous?"
Lu Yuan asked again.
But this time, he didn't get an answer.
However, judging from the World Will's hint, the Guanghan Palace was very important.
He had to see for himself.
Besides, after receiving the blessing of the World Martial Dao,
Lu Yuan's strength had soared, making him the strongest in this era.
In his estimation,
Even if he encountered a second-tier anomaly, he would still have the power to fight.
After much deliberation,
Lu Yuan decided to follow the map to the Guanghan Palace.
Mount Tai.
Following the directions on the map, Lu Yuan climbed to the top of the mountain.
Just then,
The animal skin scroll in his hand suddenly burst into a blinding light.
Lu Yuan was enveloped in light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
When he opened his eyes again,
He found himself in an unfamiliar place.
He looked around,
There was ice for miles, snow drifting for thousands of miles.
Even the rolling mountains were covered in snow and ice.
It felt more like a lifeless world of ice and snow than the moon.
A cold wind blew and made him shiver!
Mind you.
He was currently at the peak of Martial Dao, able to withstand the bombardment of bullets with his terrifying physical strength.
Even bathing in a freezer at sub-zero temperatures would not harm him.
But now.
Just a gust of cold wind caused fine cracks to appear on his skin, showing signs of frostbite!
At that moment,
The animal skin scroll in his hand emitted another burst of light, enveloping him.
All the cold was dispelled.
Lu Yuan felt like he was soaking in a hot spring.
His entire body was warm, and even his stagnant cultivation had experienced an increase.
Indeed, an extraordinary SS level item!
