The Strongest in the Cave of Wonders Chapter 15: The Marvelous Use of a Divine Artifact

  Update 2, thank you

  Although the earth has no spiritual energy for Bai Qi to cultivate, in the more than 30 years of crossing the starry sky to come to the earth, Bai Qi also studied some uses of Hongmeng Pearl.

  At the same time, it was also because of this that Bai Qi was willing to be a general and lead troops in battle.

  In Bai Qi's view, the former Taishang Elder of Daluo Tianzong was really too foolish. The Hongmeng Pearl was not an attacking magical artifact at all, but a self-contained space, a spatial artifact that nurtured unknown worlds.

  That Elder Taishang was simply sacrificing the fundamentals for superficial gains, and deserved to die from the backlash of the immortal artifact. He didn't even understand the artifact's function, yet he dared to summon it - seeking death isn't supposed to be done this way.

  In order to be able to refine the Hongmeng Pearl in this region of the earth where not a single bit of spiritual energy can be absorbed, Bai Qiyue resolutely started killing people, killing many people, and it would be best if she could kill everyone on earth.

  Not for anything else, but for the sake of a single strand of resentment from the soul of the dead. If one were to obtain the power of a hundred million resentful souls, then it would be possible to use this external force to erase the spiritual imprint of that Taishang Laojun on the Hongmeng Pearl, causing it to return to its original ownerless state.

  The battle at Changping allowed Bai Qi to accumulate the power of a million vengeful spirits, and the Hongmeng Pearl finally returned to its ownerless state. However, this feat also exhausted his last bit of true yuan, and even his pre-heavenly boundary was no longer preserved.

  Aging, a problem he had never considered before, was now driving him completely crazy.

  The mighty "Killing God", an unparalleled strongman at the 9th realm of the Divine Transformation stage, actually died from gradual aging...

  Bai Qi naturally couldn't just sit back and let this happen, after studying the Hongmeng Pearl for many years, he finally found a way to avoid decline, that is, by giving up his physical body and hiding in the Hongmeng Pearl with his divine soul, he could preserve himself from destruction.

  This is undoubtedly a very poor solution, but it's the only way for Bai Qi to survive.

  After hearing the words of this absolute evil who had killed millions, Chu Yi asked: "Then where did you get that 'Heavenly Punishment Divine Decision' from?"

  Bai Qi revealed a profound and mysterious smile, saying with satisfaction: "The 'Xiu Shen Lü Tian Jue' was originally stored within the Hongmeng Pearl. The Taishang Elder of the Daluo Heaven Sect is even more foolish than a stubborn donkey, guarding an invaluable treasure yet not understanding how to utilize it. He actually treated this spatial sacred artifact as an attacking sacred artifact for refining, so how could he have discovered the existence of 'Xiu Shen Lü Tian Jue'?"

  Chu Yi was taken aback, and finally shifted the topic to his most pressing concern: "Now that I've entered the Supreme Profound Sun Sect and have a chance to become an inner sect disciple, you're thinking that my cultivation will advance rapidly, and I'll reach the Nascent Soul stage soon, which can help you escape your predicament. But now, it's become somewhat troublesome..."

  When Chu Yi explained his lack of elixirs and medicines in detail, Bai Qi burst out laughing, "Kid, since you can enter this Hongmeng space, why worry about elixirs and spirit stones? You're guarding the world's largest treasure trove, yet still crying poor, haha, that's rich!"

  Chu Yi couldn't think of why the other party would have such a fierce and strange reaction, and for a moment he was at a loss, saying: "I'm really confused!"

  "Just now, I've already told you that the Hongmeng Pearl is a spatial divine artifact, which can create its own world and is one of the most primitive existences in the universe since the beginning of time. All things return to their origin, and even if you casually throw out a big white radish, it can grow into heavenly treasures that are more precious than the thousand-year-old ginseng."

  Chu Yi is no longer the rookie who knew nothing about the way of cultivation, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but excitedly exclaim: "Isn't that a windfall!"

  Bai Qi's smile faded, and he coldly snorted: "Don't be too happy yet. The Hongmeng Space can indeed cultivate all things, and it's true that it can increase the quality of heavenly treasures by a hundredfold or even a thousandfold. However, over the past few thousand years, the Hongmeng Pearl has lost eight or nine-tenths of its original power while being buried on Earth. And to send you to Xuan Yuan Star, I had to consume what little original power it had left. If you want this treasure to return to its peak power, you must provide it with enough nourishment. Otherwise, it will be like the Great Luo Heaven Sect's Taishang Elder, who can only guard a superior immortal artifact but cannot use its power."

  "How can we help him recover his original strength..." Chu Yi said straightforwardly.

  "To restore the power of Hongmeng Space to its former glory, one must obtain the source energy of the Five Elements. Such as Huancai Golden Sand, Fangcun Tianmu Wood, Zhenyi Shenshui Water, Jiuxiao Lihuo Fire, and Guizhu Xuantu Earth, all belong to this category."

  Bai Qi reported several things, Chu Yi had an impression, and it was a very deep impression, because in the Chronicles of Heaven's Material Treasure column, he had detailed records of hundreds of items that were already extinct in the Xiuzhen world, and these five were all on the list.

  "Don't play with people like this!"

  Chu Yī's eyebrows furrowed, and he smiled helplessly: "As far as I know, these things no longer exist in the world. Even if they did, it wouldn't be something a pre-heavenly boundary like me could obtain."

  "That time, it was barely enough, but at least some of the Hongmeng Pearl's original power could be restored."

  Bai Qi's soul had been dwelling in the Hongmeng Pearl for thousands of years, so he didn't know what was going on outside. He pondered for a moment before continuing, "With the Spirit of Life and Death, the Purple Dragon Wood, the Blue Crystal Ice Soul Liquid, the Earthly Magnetic Yuan Fire, and the Emperor's Return to Origin Stone, it should be barely enough."

  Chu Yi's smile grew even more bitter. "These things are indeed available, but each one is worth a city, and can't be obtained without a hundred million spirit stones."

  "In that case, the Thousand Tempered Golden Needles, Phoenix Perched Wood, Mountain River Thunder Water, Abyssal True Fire, and Azure Gold King Stone shouldn't be too difficult to obtain. If you can each provide a hundred pieces, it wouldn't be a small contribution either."

  "There is no..."

  Chu Yi's head shook like a rattle drum, although Bai Qi reported that these heavenly treasures had dropped to about 100 middle-grade spirit stones per item at this moment, it was still not something he could afford.

  "But I suppose there is one in Bai Daxiong's cave."

  Chuyi and Bai Qi had a common interest, so they didn't need to be polite with each other. Suddenly, he came up with the idea of the cave that Bai Qi had mentioned before.

  "Nature has them, let alone these inferior materials. Even the most precious ones like Fantastical Golden Sand, Square Inch Heavenly Wood, True One Divine Water, Nine Nights Departed Fire, and Returning Void Mystical Earth can be found in the storage of my master's cave."

  "What are we waiting for? I'm now in the Supreme Void Yang Sect, isn't that perfect!"

  "You think you can enter the Youxuan Valley, the trial ground of the Supreme Mysterious Yang Sect? Only direct disciples are allowed to enter, not even elder generation figures can get in. Can you really go?"

  Bai Qi glared at Chu Yi with a bad temper and said, "I didn't expect you to be so poor and miserable. Never mind, I need to borrow your strength, but I can only make a small sacrifice. Take it."

  As soon as the voice fell, a banner about the size of a palm, with a faint yellowish color and countless dense characters, flew towards Chu Yi.

  "What is this?"

  "It's all the fault of that trash planet Earth, devoid of even a hint of spiritual energy. I've spent thousands of years cultivating this one flag, and the residual power of millions of vengeful spirits has been completely consumed by it. With this flag, you can open up half an acre of spiritual farmland in this primordial space and plant whatever you like. If I don't retreat and reduce my consumption again, I'll have to sleep for a thousand years before I can wake up..."

  "This is a spirit decision for using this flag... Don't bother me if it's nothing..."

  A spiritual decision was clearly imprinted in the sea of knowledge, and when Chu Yi woke up, the white start in front of him had disappeared without a trace. No matter how he called out, no one was seen.
