Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 75 A Celestial Cauldron

For Lu Jiu, the condensation of the power of his mind and will, and the nascent form of his battle spirit, was undoubtedly the greatest gain from this trip.

Even if we gain nothing else from this Big Dipper Immortal Palace, the trip will still be worthwhile and of great significance!

After all, this power of mental battle spirit is a level of power that can only be reached by those above the True Immortal level.

Those who lack the necessary understanding don’t even qualify to reach this level.

Take Cang Qingzi for example.

Originally, if Lu Jiu wanted to deal with him, he would need to unseal a portion of his power and then suppress and destroy him with power surpassing that of an ordinary Celestial Immortal.

However, now, Lu Jiu only needs to use his battle spirit to forcibly pull Cang Qingzi’s mental will into the world level of mental will.

Cang Qingzi’s mental will was insufficient to condense into a battle spirit, nor did he know how to condense a battle spirit. In front of Lu Jiu’s battle spirit, he would only be crushed, shattered, and annihilated!

Once the will and spirit are extinguished.

Cang Qingzi himself would suffer a huge backlash, his cultivation would collapse, his primordial spirit would dissipate, and he would die!

It’s no exaggeration to say that…

Destroying a person’s physical body or annihilating their spirit may not necessarily kill them.

But if you can annihilate your opponent on the level of willpower, that’s the real way to kill them without them even realizing it!

The application of battle spirit power.

Lu Jiu has only just started contacting him and still needs to get to know him better.

According to the description in the introductory chapter of the Mind-Born Technique, there are many techniques for using the power of the Battle Spirit, and some unique secret arts and techniques have even been derived from it!

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but think of it too.

Over the course of ten thousand years, he underwent countless trials of life and death in the Primordial Ancestral Ruins. It seemed that the guidance within the Primordial Ancestral Ruins was intentionally tempering his Dao heart and will.

All of this seems to be preparation for his future awakening and materialization of his battle spirit.

Under normal circumstances, the Battle Soul is a level of power that only powerful individuals who have attained the Dao and severed their three corpses can reach.

Therefore, without a doubt, the earlier one condenses a battle spirit before reaching the stage of proving the Dao and severing the three corpses, the higher the potential for growth of the battle spirit.

For example, Lu Jiu is only at the Golden Immortal realm now, but he has already condensed the prototype of his battle soul. So when he cultivates to the realm of proving the Dao and severing the three corpses in the future, his battle soul will definitely be more powerful than those at the same level who have just condensed the prototype of their battle soul!

…

“Alright, let’s keep going.”

Putting his thoughts aside, Lu Jiu said something to the people around him, and then took the lead and walked into the depths of the battlefield ruins.

After all, the golden divine sword just now represented the will of the Northern Dipper Immortal Venerable. He himself said that there were things he left behind in the Immortal Palace, and obtaining them would be an opportunity.

Lu Jiu was very curious to know what treasures a being like the Northern Dipper Immortal Venerable would leave behind in the Immortal Palace.

The old bald man at the temple said that the Northern Dipper Immortal Venerable had a supreme treasure that even the Jade Emperor of the ancient Heavenly Court coveted. Could this supreme treasure be the one left behind in the Immortal Palace?

Throughout their journey, everyone kept Lu Jiu’s warning in mind and dared not look at the corpses of the heavenly soldiers and generals. Their nerves remained taut, and they proceeded with extreme caution.

Although the danger no longer exists, Lu Jiu didn’t explain anything, since it’s always good to be careful.

Suddenly.

Lu Jiu, who was walking ahead, stopped. A golden-armored general covered in blood sat with his back against a broken stone wall.

The reason we can tell that this person is a celestial general is because celestial soldiers all wear silver armor, which is easy to distinguish.

This golden-armored general suffered severe injuries before his death. His golden armor was covered in cracks, and there was a claw-like tear on his neck, which had severed most of his neck, making him look ferocious and terrifying!

Even though he was dead, his eyes were still wide open, and his body was filled with a powerful aura at the Golden Immortal level. Countless innate law patterns and imprints surrounded his corpse, making people dare not approach him easily.

From Lu Jiu’s perspective.

What he saw was not just a corpse, but also a humanoid phantom radiating golden light above the corpse’s head.

That was formed from the undying willpower of the golden-armored heavenly general.

In fact, Lu Jiu had already understood this after he condensed the prototype of his battle spirit.

It’s not that these heavenly soldiers and generals didn’t have an undying will after they died.

Instead, within the scope of this battlefield, there are beings of the same caliber as the Celestial Venerable of the Big Dipper, who, based on their own battle spirits, have set up a Dao-proving level formation that surpasses even True Immortals!

Within this magic array, the willpower of the fallen heavenly soldiers and generals will be preserved by the array, gathering the power of the great array to eternally suppress evil spirits!

“As you surely know from what the Immortal Venerable said, I need to take one of your treasures. Is that alright?”

Lu Jiu looked up at the golden phantom in the air and said.

From Li Hanlu’s and the others’ perspective, it was as if Lu Jiu was talking to thin air.

This made everyone feel very strange.

At the same time, I felt a chill run down my spine and my hair stood on end!

Could it be that the Nine Supreme Beings can see things that they cannot?

Thank you.

Lu Jiu suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the air.

From his perspective, he saw the golden phantom nod.

After he finished speaking…

Lu Jiu walked toward the corpse of the golden-armored heavenly general.

The others couldn’t help but follow Lu Jiu’s movements, and then, without realizing it, they saw the corpse of the golden-armored heavenly general, and their hearts trembled with extreme fear!

“The corpse of an ancient celestial general!” Xu Taiyi couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.

“This is no ordinary heavenly general; he must have been a Golden Immortal in life!” Cang Qingzi’s face trembled, unable to hide the shock in his heart.

“Will Master Lu be in danger?”

Li Hanlu’s expression was somewhat worried, because the golden-armored celestial general was surrounded by countless Dao patterns and imprints formed by innate laws. If one got close and triggered the attack of these Dao patterns and imprints, it was hard to imagine what the consequences would be.

“Don’t worry, Master won’t do anything he’s not sure of.”

On the contrary, Bai Su had full confidence in Lu Jiu.

After all, Bai Su was an ancient demon immortal who had lived for nearly two million years. Her vision, knowledge, and mental fortitude were unmatched by others.

Everyone else was completely baffled and unable to understand Lu Jiu’s strange behavior.

But Bai Su vaguely recalled some rumors, though the years had passed and her memory was somewhat hazy.

As Lu Jiu approached.

Everyone watched nervously. When Lu Jiu approached the corpse of the golden celestial general, the Dao patterns formed by the innate laws not only did not attack Lu Jiu, but instead made way for him.

Under the shocked and incomprehensible gazes of Cang Qingzi and Xu Taiyi.

Lu Jiu approached the body of the golden celestial general and picked up a small, ancient-looking cauldron.

Then, Lu Jiu turned around and walked back. Everything was calm and uneventful, and nothing unexpected happened.

After Lu Jiu returned, he tossed the small cauldron in his hand to Xu Huanhuan and said indifferently, “This cauldron is not bad, and it is quite suitable for you. If you can comprehend the profound meaning contained within it and integrate it with the methods I have taught you, you will have a bright future.”

Xu Huanhuan reached out and caught the small cauldron, stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, her little face was filled with excitement.

If it weren’t for the inconvenient location and the presence of so many people, she would have loved to jump over and hug Lu Jiu and give him a few hard kisses!

This is an ancient celestial artifact!

She had just overheard what Cang Qingzi and Xu Taiyi were saying, and she knew very well that the golden-armored general was no ordinary person. How could such a powerful artifact be an ordinary thing?

Li Hanlu, standing next to her, didn’t seem envious, and Bai Su remained equally calm.

However, Cang Qingzi and Xu Taiyi were not so calm.

“As expected of the Nine Supremes, your demeanor as a senior is truly admirable, we admire you!”

Cang Qingzi quickly flattered him, “Although I am not good at observing things, I can still tell that it is a top-grade immortal artifact!”

“An extremely… supreme-grade immortal artifact!?”

Xu Taiyi’s old face trembled uncontrollably from the shock.

“Senior, what does ‘top-grade immortal artifact’ mean? Aren’t all immortal artifacts the same?” Xu Huanhuan blinked, looking curious.

If someone else were to ask this question…

Given Xu Taiyi’s stubborn and unyielding nature, he simply couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to it.

But Xu Huanhuan was, after all, Lu Jiu’s woman, so he naturally dared not neglect her.

“That’s definitely not the same for everyone. There are too few people in our Azure Realm who have embarked on the path to immortality, and we know very little about this realm.”

“However, according to clues and information found in some ancient ruins, the eighteen tribulations to become an immortal are divided into different realms.”

“Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, one attains the realm of a human immortal.”

“Those who have survived three life-or-death ordeals are called Earth Immortals.”

“Those who have survived seven life-and-death trials are called the Mysterious Immortals.”

“Only those who have survived thirteen life-or-death trials can reach the Golden Immortal realm!”

“As for true immortals, only those who have completely overcome the eighteen tribulations to become immortals are qualified to be called true immortals, which also means true immortals!”

Xu Taiyi was an old fellow who had lived for tens of thousands of years, so he had some knowledge of ancient secrets and was not completely ignorant.

“A top-grade immortal artifact requires not only the finest immortal materials and metals, but also the assistance of a true immortal to forge it!”

“Therefore, it is also called a True Immortal Magic Artifact or a True Immortal Magic Treasure. Now you understand how precious this Immortal Cauldron is, right?”

Upon hearing Xu Taiyi’s words…

Xu Huanhuan became even more excited, because according to this theory, even if the entire wealth of the ancient Xu family were taken out, it would not be comparable to a drop in the ocean of this immortal cauldron!

Cang Qingzi and Xu Taiyi were filled with endless envy, jealousy and hatred. After all, they had lived for a very long time, but they had never even seen a treasure of this level!

They could hardly imagine what Lu Jiu had gone through in the past ten thousand years, that he would give away such a precious and top-grade immortal artifact so easily.

“Alright, stop looking so ignorant. Follow me, and I guarantee you’ll live a life of luxury.”

Lu Jiu chuckled and patted Xu Huanhuan’s head, then led everyone forward.
