The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 206: Extraordinary Treasure

"Impossible?"

On one side of the Tianzhu, a phoenix shadow flickered, and a woman dressed in a purple dress was sitting cross-legged on the ground, her face showing a look of confusion.

She was a very beautiful woman, with a beautiful appearance, but a cold expression.

If Chen An were here, he would definitely find the woman's appearance very familiar and would directly call out her name.

Daliang Princess, Liang Yao.

Yes, this woman was none other than Liang Yao.

She was also the one who had previously obtained the Phoenix artifact, and was now sitting cross-legged with a look of confusion.

"How is this possible?"

She muttered to herself, feeling puzzled: "I used the power of the formation to deduce in advance, and began to practice the spiritualization technique half a year earlier, only then did I achieve this result, so why is that person able to do it?"

If her words were to spread out, it would probably cause an uproar.

So, this is cheating.

Liang Yao had inherited a part of the commandments, so she gained the ability to deduce part of the future trajectory.

It was because of this ability that she knew everything that happened today early on and began to make arrangements in advance.

Her means were also very simple, she simply obtained a part of the inheritance of this sage through various means in advance, started practicing the spiritualization technique in advance, and thereby gained the advantage.

Because of this, she was able to evoke the seven-layered ladder in a short period of time and obtain the sage's artifact.

This was also the reason for her confusion.

With her talent and intelligence, obtaining the inheritance of spiritualization early on could only lead to such a result. So, how did those two people in the distance do it?

Previously, the person who also exchanged for the seven-layered ladder and obtained the sage's artifact could be temporarily ignored, but the nine-layered ladder, wasn't that a bit too much?

"I didn't cheat as much as you did!" Liang Yao was puzzled.

She knew that the other party had definitely cheated just like her, but she couldn't figure out what method they had used.

Could it be that the other party also had the inheritance of the commandments, so they were able to predict the situation here in advance and start practicing the spiritualization technique in advance?

Liang Yao was perplexed, and the same was true on the other side.

On the other side of the Tianzhu, a dragon shadow lay horizontally, blocking the surrounding aura.

In the midst of this artifact's coverage, Bai Qing couldn't help but raise her head and look at the nine-layered ladder in the distance with some confusion.

"What's going on now?"

Bai Qing was puzzled, with a big question mark seeming to hang over her head: "Didn't you say that under normal circumstances, even a supreme genius can activate at most six layers of the heavenly ladder?"

"Now what's going on here?"

"I don't know."

The voice of Empress Luo Shan rang out quickly, with a hint of doubt in her tone: "It can be certain that the other party must have also used some means."

"But this is too much."

Yes, just like Liang Yao before them, they both cheated as well.

It's just that their cheating methods were somewhat different.

Liang Yao's cheating method was similar to obtaining the exam questions in advance, so she started targeted revision half a year in advance.

While Bai Qing was like a direct proxy.

When reciting scriptures, it seemed like it was Bai Qing who was exerting effort, but in reality it was Empress Luo Shan.

Purely in terms of talent and intelligence, Bai Qing and Empress Luo Shan should have been evenly matched, or Bai Qing might have been slightly higher.

But in terms of experience and cultivation, Bai Qing was far behind.

Empress Luo Shan's cultivation back then was indeed at the level of a true sage, and her strength was even at the top tier within the mortal realm.

And now, although she had lost all her cultivation, her previous state was still intact, so if she were to practice the spiritualization technique again, she would naturally progress much faster than Bai Qing.

This had nothing to do with talent and intelligence, but purely with experience and realm.

Letting Empress Luo Shan take Bai Qing's place in reciting scriptures was like letting a doctorate go back and take a primary school exam, the result was naturally natural.

The seven-layered ladder was just normal performance.

"How did he do it?"

Empress Luo Shan was puzzled.

Was it the same situation as hers?

But that didn't seem right.

The Sacred Sage's secret realm had the arrangements left behind by the ancient sage. If an ordinary person wanted to sneak in, they would only be rejected by the secret realm.

The reason why Empress Luo Shan was able to successfully infiltrate was not only because she had lost her physical body and her soul clung to Bai Qing, but also because her methods were special. She happened to have inherited some of the ancient sage's teachings, so she keenly found some loopholes, and with Bai Qing's presence, she was able to sneak in.

Except for her case, it was extremely difficult for other entities to infiltrate, and it was even impossible.

The likelihood that the other person had taken the exam on behalf of someone else was low, so how did this person do it?

Was it really on their own?

Unbelievable, right?

Empress Luo Shan found it hard to believe.

To become a sage, her talent was definitely at the top level no matter how you looked at it.

But even if she were to be pulled over, and she couldn’t cheat, she estimated that she would only be able to activate at most five levels of the heavenly ladder before reaching her limit.

Nine layers of the heavenly ladder, how terrifying a person was that?

Were there really such monsters in this world?

Empress Luo Shan thought the probability was low.

They had also cheated, but she didn't know what specific methods they had used.

In the distance, at this moment, Chen An was unaware that he had attracted the attention of everyone.

He also didn't know that two acquaintances of his were lying well in the secret realm at this moment, and each had obtained a considerable reward through their respective cheating methods.

His entire mind and body were already captivated by the scene before him.

Name: Chen An

Attributes: Strength (11.9), Constitution (12.4), Spirit (10.4)

Source power: 82

Inheritance: Frozen Miles (Intermediate), Profound Ice Force (First innate layer), Haoshan Scripture (First layer), Small Element Pill (Perfect), Pure Heart Pill (Perfect), Spiritualization Technique (Ninth layer).

Projection: Charging

“My money!”

The familiar upgrade template appeared before him.

Chen An looked at the familiar data, feeling a bit pained.

In just that short period of time, he had spent all his savings.

That was the result of his efforts for several months before.

Previously at Haoshan Sect, through continuous efforts, Chen An had successfully accumulated his source power to around 1,500.

And now, he was back to square one in just one go, with less than a hundred source power left.

Instantly going from a rich man to a penniless person.

Such a huge discrepancy, even with Chen An's strong psychological resilience, he couldn't help but feel some fluctuations.

However, fortunately, after making a huge effort, there was also quite a significant return.

The most obvious reward was the spiritual attribute.

The improvement of the spiritualization technique was not ineffective, on the contrary, this secret technique had a quite powerful effect.

Practicing the spiritualization technique could rapidly increase the mental power and spirit of a cultivator.

Raising the spiritualization technique to the ninth level instantly made Chen An's spiritual attribute perfect, catching up with the other two attributes.

This was the first good news.

As for the second...

Chen An raised his head, looking at the sky.

There, the rolling light and haze spread outwards, forming the appearance of the nine-layered ladder.

And in Chen An's perception, there was already a mysterious connection that had appeared.

Inside the Tianzhu, something was in contact with him, and it seemed to appear as long as he thought about it.

Feeling this, Chen An didn't hesitate at all and directly took action.

Boom!

The nine-layered ladder was rippling, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions, rushing towards the ground.

At this moment, all living beings in the Tianzhu were trembling, feeling a heavy aura of the Sacred Sage spreading.

This was the residual aura left by the Sacred Sage in the Tianzhu, which was now spreading along with the trembling of the Tianzhu, shocking everyone.

The Sacred Sage was supreme, even in the face of an emperor, they could still cope calmly. This was not a false claim, but a truly terrifying power.

Facing this supreme aura of the Sacred Sage, even the mindless beasts around were only able to tremble, unable to resist this aura at all.

And this also made it easier for Chen An.

In the thick light and haze, he clearly saw a stream of light flashing in the Tianzhu, and something in it rushed toward Chen An and merged with his body.

All of this happened very quickly, and it all took place within the cover of the light and haze, without being noticed by anyone.

Without any hesitation, Chen An turned around and left, leaving this place.

Moments later, the mist gradually dissipated, and everything looked calm again.

As for Chen An?

He had long since fled.

If he hadn’t run away, would he have stayed here waiting to be surrounded and attacked?

But at that moment when he fled, the aura he had hidden so well inadvertently leaked out and was captured by people around.

This aura was not very noticeable here, after all, there were too many people hidden here, and it was impossible to know who this aura belonged to.

But for some people, it was a different story.

"It's him!"

At the moment when Chen An left, Empress Luo Shan and Liang Yao were both stunned at the same time, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Compared to Bai Qing, one was a former sage and the other was the inheritor of the commandments, two people with unpredictable methods, both possessing unique abilities that ordinary people could not reach Naturally, they were the first to capture the aura belonging to Chen An.

Their facial expressions changed quite richly and dramatically at this realization.

But Chen An couldn't know about this.

He was still around the Tianzhu at this moment, but had already changed his location.

"What is this thing, exactly?"

Confirming that the surrounding area was safe enough, Chen An began to inspect his gains.

When he saw the object that flew out of the Tianzhu, he couldn't help but be stunned.

There was no change on the surface of Chen An, but if one were to look inside his body, they would see that inside his Purple Mansion, a pagoda was standing tall.

The pagoda seemed to be made of white jade, but it only had three layers and looked obviously incomplete.

It appeared in Chen An's Purple Mansion and immediately occupied the best position, suppressing the entire Purple Mansion.

What was this thing?
