The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1290: Creation Chapter 1293: Chapter 1290: Creation “Purple Bamboo, do you know what exactly those dark gold spiritual materials are?” Shen Luo, who had moved away from the spatial rift, relaxed a bit and communicated with Purple Bamboo through a mind message.

“I only know that those dark gold spiritual materials are a high-grade material, light in texture and easily merging with divine sense, suitable for the production of Armor. As for how they are referred to outside, I'm not sure,” Purple Bamboo replied.

Shen Luo merely acknowledged with an 'oh' and didn't mind it further.

Seeing that there were no imminent dangers for the moment, he sat down cross-legged and absorbed the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi to recover his mana.

The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi here was extremely rich; as soon as he began cultivating, the spiritual energy surged into his body and, with a slight rotation, transformed into pure mana, quickly filling his previously vacant dantian.

Shen Luo was secretly delighted and immediately took out a healing pill to consume, while also running the Great Unsealing Technique to treat his injuries.

Under the dual effect of the healing pill and the Great Unsealing Technique, his injuries healed rapidly, recovering about seventy to eighty percent in no time. He then considered his next steps.

The entire spirit spring pool was now sealed by Ghost Yan's godlike powers. Although he could barely move, he didn't know how much time it would take to break free. Moreover, even if he got out, he would have to face that bald big man and those Armor, along with the Earth Evil Corpse King, which would lead to no different outcome than what he was currently facing.

“The people of Tianji City are looking for Ghost Yan, and Master Yan's whereabouts are unknown after being transported. So, I might as well inform Little Master of the situation here and ask him to take charge. Not only could we save Fu Donglai, but we might also get a share of those treasures outside,” Shen Luo thought to himself. After the series of previous events, he was absolutely certain that the bald big man was Ghost Yan.

Thinking this, he immediately took out the Black Jade Plate and tried to contact Little Master with a spell.

However, his current imprisonment by the seal above hindered the Black Jade Plate from functioning properly. Even after several attempts, he couldn't send the message out.

“It seems Ghost Yan really has some tricks up his sleeve. The Black Jade Plate's mana marking ability is still present, and if Little Master has entered the Black Abyss Mystery Cave and isn't muddled in the head, he will definitely locate this place by sensing the position of the Black Jade Plate in my hand.” Watching two slow-moving white dots on the Black Jade Plate, Shen Luo decided not to keep trying blindly to send messages and put it away to continue absorbing the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi to recover from his injuries.

Streams of incredibly pure Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi converged like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, not only rapidly restoring his mana but also subtly encouraging his cultivation level to advance.

Shen Luo's cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Great Mahayana Stage, just short of breaking through the Niwan Palace to achieve the True Immortal Stage. At this moment, as streams of pure mana seeped in, the Niwan Palace began to loosen.

“The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi here actually assists in breaking through the Niwan Palace! What fortune! Well, since the spiritual energy is so mystical, why not attempt the breakthrough to the True Immortal Stage right here?” He was both shocked and delighted, as an idea suddenly sprang to his mind, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Firstly, the unique effect of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi here could aid in unlocking the Niwan Palace, increasing the chances of breaking through the True Immortal bottleneck significantly; secondly, he could use the power of the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation to break the massive seal above the pool.

As for whether Ghost Yan would take advantage of his Thunder Tribulation to secretly attack him, Shen Luo wasn't too worried.

He had fought so fiercely with those Earth Evil Corpse Kings that Ghost Yan never left the area above Puppet City to join the attack, which means he probably had to hasten in operating Puppet City to devour the dark gold minerals in the cave walls, without the spare capacity to split his attention.

Moreover, even if he did come, Shen Luo wasn't afraid.

In Dreamland, he had already experienced resisting the Thunder Tribulation once and was confident he could resist Ghost Yan while dealing with the Thunder Tribulation simultaneously, or even, as in Dreamland, redirect the Tribulation onto Ghost Yan.

As for the preparations to progress to the True Immortal Stage, Shen Luo had them all ready. If it weren't for being caught up in Tianji City's plan to capture Ghost Yan, he would have already started his breakthrough elsewhere.

With this in mind, he made up his decision, continued to cultivate to heal his wounds, and also to nurture the several Magical Treasures that would defend against the Thunder Tribulation.

Half an hour later, Shen Luo's injuries had fully healed, and his mana was also completely restored.

The Profound Yellow Staff, having been integrated with Nine-turn Steel, was incredibly strong and emerged unscathed from the previous great battle, which spared him the trouble of fixing it; the Bloodthirsty Flag and the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet had only suffered some shocks, but their internal prohibitions had not been damaged. Having nurtured them within his body for so long, they had basically recovered.

Although the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing was damaged, its core remained intact, and after being nourished over this period, it had mostly healed.

Only the Turtle Spirit Shield had developed cracks, and its internal prohibitions were in disarray. It was impossible to repair it with mana alone, but fortunately, he hadn't placed much hope on the shield playing a major role in withstanding the Thunder Tribulation, so the impact wasn't significant.

Now that everything was ready, Shen Luo did not immediately start the breakthrough to the True Immortal Stage; he waved his hand to push away the surrounding pool water, took out some materials for making talismans, and began to refine talismans.

This talisman was the Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman.

Back in Dreamland, he had used the power of the Thunder Tribulation to draw several extremely powerful Thunderfall Talismans. Now facing the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation again, and with the even more formidable Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman at his disposal, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

He had already mastered the method for making the Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman, and it didn't take long before he had successfully drawn seven or eight of them.

Stowing away these talismans, Shen Luo closed his eyes to adjust his condition, and only when his spirit was fully replenished and his qi was abundant did he begin the assault on the True Immortal Stage.

At the same time, he also took out that Ginkgo Spirit Fruit and swallowed it.

He had learned from Bashe long ago about the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit's effect in aiding the breakthrough to True Immortal Stage, otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so desperately to acquire one back in Yunmeng Marsh–all for the sake of today.

Shen Luo activated the Huangting Technique and began refining the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, which soon dissolved, turning into a coolness that merged into his mana.

His already surging mana, after absorbing the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, soared anew, furiously smashing towards the last acupoint of the Great Mahayana Peak, the Niwan Palace.

The Niwan Palace was an extremely important acupoint in the human body, situated between heaven and man. As long as one could break through it, one would be able to escape the mortals' shackles and transform into an immortal.

This acupoint was exceedingly difficult to breach, and various sects had spent countless years researching and creating numerous skills for it, but few had ever succeeded.

Although Shen Luo had the experience of breaking through to True Immortal once before, he wasn't very certain he could achieve it again. Fortunately, the pure spiritual qi in this spiritual spring had the effect of loosening the Niwan Palace, and the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit also aided in penetrating it, so he had some confidence in this breakthrough.

“Boom!” A loud noise erupted, as if a thunderclap exploded in his mind.

The Niwan Palace trembled violently but did not open under the assault.

Shen Luo was not surprised by this outcome, and after a slight adjustment of his mana, he continued with the second assault.

Booming sounds continually erupted in his mind, like raging waves sweeping across or thousands of horses galloping.

Moreover, with every assault, the power of the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit gradually infused into the Niwan Palace.

After striving for half a day, Shen Luo distinctly felt that the Niwan Palace was beginning to loosen, partly due to the impact of his mana and partly because of that Ginkgo Spirit Fruit.

The spiritual power of the fruit seemed to have the effect of unblocking acupoints, and with each assault, the originally impregnable Niwan Palace softened a great deal from the inside out.

Shen Luo was secretly pleased, and continued to activate the Huangting Technique, assaulting the Niwan Palace…
