I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 457 - 264: Tier Seven Dao Artifact
[Gilded Cyan Light Lamp (Damaged)]
[Grade: Tier Seven Dao Artifact]
[Attributes: Gilded Realm Domain (Sealed), Gilded Cyan Light (Sealed), Gilded Light Guidance Bridge (Sealed), Inference Cyan Light (Sealed). Three Thousand Cyan Arrows (Sealed)]
[Status: Damaged and Spiritless, all functions lost.]
[Refined from Tier Seven Gilded Realm Crystal, Tier Seven Age Glaze Cyan Light, Tier Seven Celestial Crane Essence Jade, this Tier Seven Dao Artifact - Gilded Cyan Light Lamp, has gone through great battles, its artifact body damaged, its artifact spirit severely wounded, ... The Gilded Guidance Bridge, connecting two realms, this lamp is an access Dao artifact for the Upper Realm. Over the long years, its spiritual energy depleted, artifact spirit self-sealed, and because the artifact carries the Dao, losing its spirit, its artifact pattern is exposed.]
Looking at the attribute information of the Cyan Phoenix Ancient Lamp, and the mysterious, complex green luminous artifact patterns exposed on the surface of the Bronze Lamp, Li Mu’s gaze became trance-like, his mind involuntarily drawn in.
The artifact patterns of a Tier Seven Dao Artifact, even if not entirely visible now, noting them down might prove useful in the future.
"Master Li, do you recognize this lamp?" Elder Ye Quan looked at Li Mu’s focused expression, his face full of surprise, couldn’t help but ask.
Saintess Lian Yue stared at Li Mu, equally tense.
This lamp and the "Divine Rune True Understanding" are said to have a common origin. Saintess Lian Yue feared that Li Mu might discern something, making the "Divine Rune True Understanding" difficult to borrow.
"You say this lamp is the key to a certain secret realm? What secret realm is it?" Without directly addressing Saintess Lian Yue’s words, Li Mu asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan exchanged a glance, their expressions solemn, hesitating whether to disclose the secret realm’s origin to Li Mu.
"This lamp is the sacred artifact of the Celestial Saint Sect’s inheritance, concerning the old site of the Celestial Saint Sect that was destroyed during the demon race war from millennia ago. Master Li, have you discerned anything?" Saintess Lian Yue replied truthfully, looking at Li Mu with concern and asked.
"Before the Celestial Saint Sect’s destruction, they chose to seal the sect and close the mountain. This bronze lamp is a hidden treasure inherited by a certain powerful individual of the Celestial Saint Sect, pertaining to the sect’s sealed mountain site." Elder Ye Quan introduced solemnly while looking at Li Mu.
Li Mu is a Tier Six Refining Grandmaster, of high status, easily obtaining the spiritual material resources needed. Even if the secret realm site was disclosed to him, it wouldn’t be exploited. After some telepathic exchanges, they didn’t hide the origin of the Bronze Ancient Lamp from him.
Li Mu nodded, looking at the cyan light patterns flowing on the surface of the Gilded Cyan Light Lamp, and said to the two, "Thank you both for being candid. However, the specific function of this spiritual treasure might disappoint you."
Upon hearing this, Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan’s expressions tightened.
"Master Li, please speak frankly. We can handle it!" Saintess Lian Yue pleaded earnestly, looking at Li Mu.
"Uh! The refinement method of this artifact is unique, using Tier Seven Spiritual Materials - Gilded Realm Crystal and Celestial Crane Essence Jade. These two spiritual materials possess the effects of breaking realms and stabilizing spirits. A spiritual treasure refined with them indeed has the ability to traverse realms. However, the refinement method of this artifact, and the array light contained within its artifact patterns, serve more to stabilize and guide realms, and do not have the ability for array dismantlement or spirit guidance." Li Mu explained in detail to Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan.
"Master Li? Are you saying this Spirit Lamp is used for breaking and guiding realms?" Elder Ye Quan asked with a concerned frown.
"That’s correct! If there are no accidents, this is an access Tier Seven Spirit Treasure. However, it has undergone significant battles, its main body damaged, and with time erosion, the artifact spirit has perished, and the artifact base is lost." Li Mu nodded, explaining in detail to Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan.
This world is just a part of the myriad great worlds, with the Upper Realm including the Spirit Realm, Immortal Realm, and Ancient God World, and below the Earth Abyss, Demon Realm, dozens of main worlds, three thousand small worlds, and countless mysterious worlds. Even Daoist Ancestors and Saints cannot fully delineate them all.
Each world follows its predetermined Heavenly Dao Law, with a Heavenly Dao and World Spirit to protect its realm. Apart from Tribulation Crossing, Ascension, Demon Transformation, and other breaking realm methods, there is also the use of spiritual treasures, arrays, and other methods to break realms, traversing between two realms.
Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming very ugly. A spirit treasure used for breaking and guiding realms is also a rare diluted item, hard to come by.
However, this is far from what Elder Ye Quan and Saintess Lian Yue anticipated for the secret realm key, hoping it was the Celestial Saint Sect’s relic sacred artifact for inheritance.
Moreover, this artifact is damaged, its artifact spirit completely lost, thus unusable. If it’s not a ’key’, it holds no significance at all.
"Master Li, can this artifact be repaired? Is there any chance that besides breaking and guiding realms, it is also a ’key’ for inheritance?" Saintess Lian Yue asked Li Mu, with a glimmer of hope.
"This artifact reaches Tier Seven, I am powerless to repair it!" Li Mu shook his head.
"The ’Divine Rune True Understanding’ can be loaned to you for a period of study, but you must return it when you leave the valley! As a condition of exchange, this artifact will be lent to me for study for a period." After a pause, Li Mu proposed to Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan.
The damaged Tier Seven Dao Artifact still reveals some complete artifact patterns. If thoroughly studied, there might be an opportunity to grasp in advance certain special artifact patterns regarding breaking and stabilizing realms. Furthermore, this artifact also contains the power of time, its form aggregating age-related artifact patterns, providing substantial inspiration for refining Tier Six Time Spiritual Treasures.
Li Mu was considering using the Tier Six - Life and Death Wood to refine a Tier Six - Time Spiritual Treasure for setting up a Time Array to stimulate the growth of High-level Spirit Plants, or aid the Cyan Jade Ginseng King in restoring its cultivation.
The Gilded Cyan Light Lamp has lost its artifact spirit, and its exposed artifact patterns, with many still intact, are a good reference spiritual artifact for Li Mu.
