Chapter 39 Wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth, Slaying Demons and Evil Spirits!
But at least those immortal novels had some basic logic to the opportunities, right?
Like discovering an ancient divine artifact covered in dust at a street stall, or falling into a cliff only to find a powerful person\'s secret realm and treasures at the bottom. At the very least, there should have been some twists and hardships before encountering an opportunity, right?
Yet, in this world he had transmigrated to, the so-called opportunity just burst forth from the ground?
Whoever was nearby was the destined one?
It seemed a bit too childish.
He threw these jumbled thoughts to the back of his mind. Perhaps a real opportunity should just emerge abruptly from the ground, and whoever approached it first would gain it.
The items on this red stone pillar were all discounted good stuff. Buying them randomly would definitely not result in a loss.
He placed the corresponding spirit stones on the translucent membrane of the "Spirit Beast Ring" and "Mid-grade Foundation Establishment Soul Absorption Talisman". The spirit stones quickly melted into the membrane and disappeared while the membranes above the two items also disappeared correspondingly, allowing them to be freely taken out.
"Mr. Chen, the first two compartments are ones that talisman masters and artifact refiners can create. The \'Heavenly Treasure Repository\' contains many treasures that can only be produced in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm," said the scholar.
"And the item in this third compartment is..."
Before the scholar could finish, a voice eerily echoed in everyone\'s ears, "The item in this third compartment is the \'Enlightenment Stone\'. With this treasure, any spell below the peak of the Foundation Establishment can instantly comprehend to the Great Perfection realm."
"To call it the strongest treasure of the Foundation Establishment Stage is not an exaggeration."
"Ordinary people would need at least a year of rigorous training daily to advance a Foundation Establishment Stage spell to the Great Perfection Realm, but with the Enlightenment Stone, it only takes a moment."
"Its value is extremely high."
...
Fat Long and his companions\' expressions changed slightly. Following their line of sight, they saw a middle-aged man in a red robe with long hair, carried on his back, riding a long crimson sword, shooting towards them.
His voice reached them before he did.
By the time the voice fell, the middle-aged man was only a few meters away, floating slightly above them.
"Heavenly Treasure Repository, destiny approaches. "
With greed and excitement flickering in his eyes as he looked down at Chen Qiu and the others, the corner of his mouth curled up, "It seems I am more fated than you. You all are also at the Foundation Establishment level. Why don\'t you join my \'Ten Thousand Souls Banner\' as a team spirit?"
"That would be a double joy!"
"Today is indeed a good day. That fortune-teller in the market square of Ask Heaven included even calculated it right!"
"This person is a demon cultivator, his cultivation is at least at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, and he is incredibly ruthless in his actions," the scholar spoke in a slightly distressed tone, then subtly moved his right hand behind his back, preparing to find an opportunity to control his flying sword to escape with Chen Qiu and the others. They definitely couldn\'t defeat someone of his cultivation level.
The strongest among them was him, but he was currently riddled with lethal poison and had no ability to fight. Mr. Chen was their most capable fighter, but his cultivation was only at the first layer of Foundation Establishment Stage, definitely incapable of overcoming the opponent.
The only option was to run.
Fortunately, as long as he wanted to run, a demon cultivator at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment couldn\'t keep him there.
"Heehee, quite an accurate judgment~"
...
"Demon cultivator?"
Chen Qiu glanced at the unsealed treasures on the red stone pillar, then placed his hand on the scholar\'s right hand that was prepared to draw the sword and escape, whispering softly, "Are demon cultivators very strong?"
"Very strong, invincible among peers!"
"Can you fight across levels?"
"Almost every demon cultivator can. Demon cultivators don\'t seek immortality; they only seek to slay other cultivators who do, before they themselves die!"
"Can one at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage fight against someone in the Golden Core Stage?"
"...That definitely can\'t happen."
"Hmm."
Chen Qiu nodded slightly, he hadn\'t planned to flee. He quite liked the treasures here, and comparatively, self-destructing an entry seemed more cost-effective. He didn\'t hesitate further and took the initiative to strike first.
The white entry "Flawless Body," self-destruct!
The next second—
Chen Qiu suddenly felt the Tao Foundation above his Dantian begin to spin rapidly, followed by the sky above the wilderness darkening suddenly. The spiritual energy in the surrounding air began to flow swiftly. Using his divine sense, he could even see a massive tornado formed by the spiritual energy gathering in the sky above his head!
Immediately after, he sensed the entry "Flawless Body" engraved on his Tao Foundation. The white letters started to fall off gradually and traveled through his meridians to his hands, feeling the extremely violent power within them.
He just subconsciously pushed forward with both hands.
Then!
"Boom!"
A bolt of thunder as wide as a dragon suddenly surged from the dark clouds above, striking directly down from the clouds to the ground, reaching the head of the demon cultivator in mid-air who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage in the blink of an eye!
Not even a scream was heard.
Following the thunder, the clouds dispersed in a flash.
All that remained was the thunder-stricken, completely charred magic treasure that lost all its spiritual essence on the ground, and two shattered storage rings. The shattered storage rings meant that the contents naturally scattered into a different dimension.
...
Chen Qiu thoughtfully looked down at his right hand. He had been curious about how powerful a full-strength strike enabled by the self-destruction of an entry could be.
Now he knew.
An "entry" seemed more like a tangible force of the laws of this world. Even a white entry contained powerful law forces, and the energy released in an instant by these law forces after self-destruction was enough to briefly propel him to the next Great Realm, then randomly select one of the spells he cultivated and temporarily elevate it to the Great Perfection Realm.
This was the full force of a strike at the Golden Core Stage.
The lightning bolt that could be seen clearly from tens of miles away, crossing the entire sky that had just occurred, was the power brought by unleashing the Thunder Summoning Technique at the Great Perfection Realm by a cultivator in the first level of the Golden Core Stage.
This... is what it means to be a magic practitioner!
Control the forces of heaven and earth, slay demons and devils!
After this trial, he became even more certain of the path he wanted to follow in the future.
"Brother Qiu...this...this..."
Fat Long pointed somewhat bewilderedly at the pitch-black flying sword that had crashed to the ground, stuttering. He had just been ready to run away at any moment by grabbing his scholar brother\'s sleeve, not wanting to be left behind, and suddenly Brother Qiu obliterated the enemy?
Wasn\'t that a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage? Wasn\'t Brother Qiu still a mortal a few days ago, and now he could obliterate a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage in an instant?
Being transmigrators, honestly speaking, Brother Qiu, do you have an extra golden finger?
"..."
Even the scholar\'s mouth twitched slightly, he now believed even more that Mr. Chen was the Young Master of some hidden family outside Da Xia Country. The might of that attack just now might not be perceivable by Fat Long, but he could sense it clearly.
This was the genuine might of the Golden Core!
