The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1058: New Sacred Arms, Black Tortoise Clan
"Mm, it should be!"
Shi Lei nodded his head.
He looked at Ma Liang’s Brush, feeling somewhat nervous.
Previously, Ma Liang’s Brush had been transformed by Ye Feng into a Transcendent Spirit Treasure and then given to Shi Lei, becoming his personal Spiritual Treasure.
On an ordinary day,
when Shi Lei used Ma Liang’s Brush to alter reality, he could feel the brush continuously absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth, storing it inside the handle, undergoing a slow metamorphosis.
Lately, it had neared the time for its advancement.
Otherwise, Ma Liang’s Brush would not have sent a signal to Shi Lei that it required a Five Elements Origin Power Crystal. However, Shi Lei was not certain whether Ma Liang’s Brush could successfully transform into a Sacred Arm.
"Hopefully it will be successful!"
Shi Lei silently prayed.
High in the sky,
the enormous multicolored vortex continued to infuse Ma Liang’s Brush with nature’s spiritual energy, making it increasingly hot and dazzling.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Before long, Ma Liang’s Brush began to tremble, stirring up countless energy ripples, sweeping across the entire Ocean Star, awakening certain ancient races from their slumber.
"The transformation process is really astonishing!"
Shen Yu and the other Misty Sect Disciples marveled greatly.
In their view, as long as Ma Liang’s Brush became a Sacred Arm, Shi Lei, who possessed it, would most certainly be a top-tier power.
Following him would guarantee their bellies forever full!
In midair,
countless totems appeared on the surface of Ma Liang’s Brush, some depicted ancient creatures, others luxuriant plants, and still others small insects.
In short, everything in the world was etched upon it.
"What a beautiful Ma Liang’s Brush!"
"The craftsmanship is exquisite, truly a work of gods and demons."
"I want one, too."
Everyone showed envy in their eyes.
Boom rumble!
At this moment, the sound of thunder roared in the sky, leading everyone to look in that direction. They saw a vast expanse of dark clouds approaching, forming the distinctive thunderclouds of the Saint Ascension Tribulation.
"The tribulation is about to begin!"
"It seems Ma Liang’s Brush is truly going to become a Sacred Arm."
The crowd exclaimed.
Shi Lei was also somewhat surprised, his fingers interlocked tightly as he watched Ma Liang’s Brush in the sky, expecting it to withstand the Saint Ascension Tribulation.
Crack snap!
The first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation quickly formed and struck down from the sky, barraging Ma Liang’s Brush, causing it to burst forth with countless dazzling glimmers, each containing myriad world phenomena.
"Why do I feel something odd about Ma Liang’s Brush?"
Shi Lei stared at Ma Liang’s Brush, his brow slightly furrowed.
"What’s wrong?" the other Disciples curiously inquired.
Shi Lei thought for a moment, then spoke, "I’ve noticed that the ability of Ma Liang’s Brush to alter reality seems to have greatly improved, and it contains some kind of mysterious and profound aura. I don’t know what it is."
Han Yonghui pondered for a moment, then said, "Could it be because Ma Liang’s Brush has transformed into a Sacred Arm and awakened some new functions?"
Shi Lei nodded his head, "It seems possible."
In the skies,
the previous six waves of the Heavenly Tribulation fell in succession, bombarding Ma Liang’s Brush, but were unable to shatter it. Instead, they stimulated the Divine Runes on the surface, making them increasingly profound.
In not much time,
the Frost Tribulation, Divine Fire Tribulation, and the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Furnace, the final three waves of the great tribulation, appeared one after another, incessantly ravaging Ma Liang’s Brush.
But, Ma Liang’s Brush was incredibly tough!
Regardless of the type of tribulation, it was subjected to, it absorbed them all, strengthening the Divine Runes engraved within.
Half a day later,
the Saint Ascension Tribulation gradually dissipated.
Ma Liang’s Brush had devoured the five-colored Spiritual Energy Vortex completely, turning golden in color, and fell in front of Shi Lei. He caught it.
"Ah!"
The moment his hand touched Ma Liang’s Brush, Shi Lei’s body trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.
A vast surge of Cultivation Level power was gushing forth from Ma Liang’s Brush, pouring into Shi Lei.
In no time at all,
Shi Lei’s Cultivation Level began to skyrocket.
Void Break Realm Fourth Layer, Fifth Layer... until the Peak of the Void Break Realm Seventh Layer, did Shi Lei’s Cultivation Level finally begin to stabilize.
"Our Big Senior Brother’s aura has increased so much!"
"My goodness, he has actually reached the peak of the Void Break Realm’s seventh layer, and his foundation seems to be very stable."
"Is this because he was blessed by Ma Liang’s Brush?"
Han Yonghui, Shen Yu, and Zhang Tianyuan’s eyes widened, their mouths agape in astonishment.
On the ground.
Shi Lei sat cross-legged, consolidating and adapting to his rapidly increased cultivation level. The tumultuous aura on him gradually calmed and quickly retracted, becoming indecipherable.
"Phew!"
Shi Lei exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.
"After Ma Liang’s Brush transformed into Sacred Arms, it could actually feedback cultivation to me. From now on, every time I use Ma Liang’s Brush to paint and alter reality, I can accumulate ’Power of Laws of Reality’ and also incidentally improve my cultivation level."
Speaking of this, Shi Lei was ecstatic.
He and Ma Liang’s Brush could complement each other, and once he had accumulated enough Power of Laws of Reality, it could enable him to break through to Saint.
Of course!
This path was not an easy one.
Accumulating the Power of Laws of Reality was difficult, for he must paint with heart, constantly upsetting and surpassing himself.
Shen Yu and the others listened to Shi Lei’s monologue, their eyes revealing a look of envy.
"That’s the Power of Laws!"
The three of them were so envious they were almost in tears.
Shi Lei held Ma Liang’s Brush, showing a simple and honest smile to Shen Yu and the others, "I’m just lucky, if not for the Sect Master Uncle who bestowed this treasure upon me, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today."
"Big brother, you’re too modest."
They voiced their comments one after another.
"Cluck cluck cluck!" At this moment, the rooster crowed towards a direction far away, as if to remind them of something.
Shi Lei immediately understood.
"Let’s go check it out over there."
With that, he jumped onto the back of the rooster with the others, sprinting toward the distance, covering tens of thousands of meters in a blink.
"Big brother, what are we going to do?"
Shen Yu voiced the question the other two also wanted to know.
Shi Lei pointed into the distance, explaining:
"Ahead lies a valley near the seaside, sealed with something ancient and mysterious. This string of beads containing Mu Xi Yuan Li crystals was found there."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
Thump thump thump!
The rooster dashed wildly through the forest, occasionally flapping its wings for low-altitude flight, very fast.
Before long.
They arrived at a vast valley only ten or so miles from the coastline, filled with hundred-meter-tall ancient trees, where the Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy was incredibly dense.
Breathing in one breath could cure one’s ailments.
"Look, here is a fallen ancient tree."
Shen Yu hopped down, standing on the trunk of an enormous ancient tree, which was a hundred meters in diameter and stretched for thousands of meters.
The tree had been chopped down and had fallen.
"Cluck cluck cluck!"
The rooster pecked at the tree with its beak as if it were trying to tell Shi Lei something.
"So, the Mu Xi Yuan Li crystal was the core of this ten-thousand-year-old tree. The crystal came to light because the ancient tree died, and the rooster strung it into beads."
Shi Lei explained to the group.
"This tree is a ten-thousand-year Ancient Tree, its main trunk unbeatable, indomitable without the power of the Void Break Realm. Why don’t we take it back and refine it into a Spiritual Treasure?"
Han Yonghui suggested.
"Alright." Shi Lei nodded, took the tree into his storage ring, and then, noticed that the place where the tree trunk had crushed the ground was covered with fine sand, with many fragments of eggshells.
"These are turtle eggshells!"
Zhang Tianyuan said, "It seems that turtles hatched from these eggs here and then headed towards the nearby sea."
"Who goes there?"
Just then, a group of humanoid creatures with turtle shells on their backs flew over from the sea, stepping on the waves with staffs in their hands, inquiring towards Shi Lei and the others.
They looked like turtle Immortals who went to the sea to forage!
"We are disciples of the Misty Sect; we just arrived here, who are you?" Shi Lei asked those people.
"We are from the Black Tortoise Clan!"
The leading turtle-shelled humanoid slowly spoke, his voice containing immense majesty, revealing himself to be a genuine Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.
Hearing this, Shi Lei and the others were frozen in place.
"Black Tortoise Clan?"
"What kind of clan is this?"
They exchanged glances, all spreading their hands wide.
