Chapter 492: Chapter 467 The River of Magic and the Magic Elixir
"Let’s leave this place first,"
Lu Yan grabbed the robust young man’s Sumi Mustard Seed Bag as the three continued to fly towards the direction of the tomb.
Mr. World brought out a formation flag, which flew like a sword, and the three sat atop it.
"Haven’t you found it strange that since I’ve come to the Desolate Land, I never revealed any news about the Three Emperors Command, yet how did they find us? And how did they know I had the Three Emperors Command on me?"
Lu Yan said.
"Are you suggesting that the people from the Three Emperors Alliance have a way to track down the Three Emperors Command?"
Shen Yinuo said.
Lu Yan nodded.
"In that case, why don’t you just throw that damn Three Emperors Command away? Why keep it and seek death?"
Mr. World said.
However, Lu Yan shook his head and said, "If they truly can track the Three Emperors Command, then it may not be entirely useless to us. If we utilize it well, it might be of great use."
"You mean to use them as a pawn, leveraging the Three Emperors Alliance to deal with the Immortal Clan?"
Mr. World’s eyes lit up.
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Senior, your mind is sharp, I admire that."
After a pause, he added, "However, to achieve this, we must first confirm whether those two young men were truly from the Three Emperors Alliance. Perhaps the other party was bluffing just to scare us."
Having said that, Lu Yan took out the robust young man’s Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.
The opening of the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag bore the other party’s soul imprint, making it difficult for outsiders to open.
But with the robust young man now dead, Lu Yan easily erased the soul imprint on the bag’s opening and opened the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, he immediately locked onto a token, his mind stirred, and the token landed in his hand.
The token was dark golden, crafted from a special metal, and bore some resemblance to the Three Emperors Command.
On one side were the words ’Three Emperors’, and on the other side were the words ’Xu Xuan’.
This was not the Three Emperors Command but the other party’s identity token. The words ’Xu Xuan’ were likely the name of the robust young man.
The other party truly came from the Three Emperors Alliance.
The last trace of illusion in the three’s minds dissipated.
They then started to take stock of other items.
There were many miscellaneous items, including two Immortal Treasures.
Hundreds of elixirs of excellent quality, most of which were suited for the Immortal Realm.
"Eh, this elixir..."
Lu Yan took out one of the jade bottles, which contained an elixir emitting the aura of Rule Power.
He had obtained this kind of elixir before; a total of twelve, he didn’t know their use and never consumed them.
This jade bottle contained thirty-two.
"Emitting Rule Power, could it be an elixir used by those in the Immortal Realm to enhance their cultivation levels?"
Lu Yan speculated in his mind.
He showed the elixir to Mr. World and Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo, needless to say, naturally did not recognize it, but Mr. World’s eyes shone.
"During my days mingling in the Desolate Land, my experience has broadened quite a bit. I recognize this kind of elixir. It’s called a Magic Elixir, refined from treasures containing Rule Power, and hence also known as Rule Pill. It can enhance the Immortal Power of those in the Immortal Realm. Of course, you have to consume the elixir with the corresponding attribute to the rules you cultivate. There seem to be several types in this batch,"
Mr. World carefully discerned.
"Magic Elixir,"
Lu Yan took note and carefully distinguished, finding that there were elixirs of Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute, but not many.
Most were of the Wind attribute.
"Yinuo, Fire Attribute Magic Elixirs for you,"
Lu Yan waved his hand, and the Magic Elixirs flew towards Shen Yinuo.
"Lu Yan, you also cultivate the Rule of Fire, you better keep them for your use,"
Shen Yinuo did not accept them.
"Yinuo, take this Flaming Nine-Color Lotus. If you refine it with the Great Sun Melting Furnace, you should be able to quickly enhance your cultivation level. I will keep the Magic Elixirs,"
Lu Yan didn’t insist, put away the Magic Elixirs, and then took out the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus.
"Such a precious treasure... should be given to Senior Lin Yan,"
Shen Yinuo said.
"Senior Lin Yan is currently merging with the Tri-colored Flame Lotus. I believe he will soon fully recover. Yinuo, we may soon face a great battle. By refining the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus, you can quickly improve your cultivation level,"
Lu Yan stated with determination.
Seeing this, Shen Yinuo no longer refused, reached out to take it, then brought out the Great Sun Melting Furnace, collected the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus inside, and began refining.
Lu Yan continued to lightly tap the robust young man’s Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.
Finally, in an exquisite box, he found a Jade Talisman with mysterious runes engraved on it.
"This Jade Talisman seems to be for recording information. Let’s see what information is documented inside,"
Mr. World understood the use of the Jade Talisman at a glance.
Lu Yan wrapped the Jade Talisman with the power of his soul, allowing his Spiritual Sense to penetrate, and immediately, lines of text appeared in his mind.
After reading it, Lu Yan fell silent.
The information in the Jade Talisman turned out to be a mission letter.
It was from the higher-ups of the Three Emperors Alliance, sent to the robust young man.
It was simple: the Three Emperors Alliance had cast eighteen Three Emperors Commands into the Desolate Land and deliberately spread the news that anyone holding a Three Emperors Command would be led by a powerful member of the Three Emperors Alliance to the Origin Continent to join their ranks.
By doing so, they could incite the strong ones of the Desolate Land to desperately vie for the tokens, ensuring that almost all who obtained a Three Emperors Command were skilled fighters.
Then, the Three Emperors Alliance would send their external disciples into the Desolate Land to trial by killing those who possessed the Three Emperors Command and seizing it.
The better someone’s battle achievements were, the more rewards they would receive.
Indeed, this was nothing but a trial.
The claims that holding a Three Emperors Command would admit one into the Three Emperors Alliance were all lies.
The entire Desolate Land served as the trial ground for the disciples of the Three Emperors Alliance.
Those who possessed the Three Emperors Command were the targets of the trial, the prey to be hunted by the disciples.
And the disciples of the Three Emperors Alliance had methods to track the location of the Three Emperors Command within a certain distance.
Afterward, Lu Yan handed the jade talisman over to Mr. World and Shen Yinuo for examination.
After looking it over, both of them fell silent.
On the Desolate Land, the fiercely contested Three Emperors Command was nothing but a joke in the eyes of the Three Emperors Alliance, truly pitiable.
"If those young experts from before are merely outer disciples of the Three Emperors Alliance, how powerful indeed is the Three Emperors Alliance?"
Lu Yan spoke, his expression growing even more grave.
The Three Emperors Alliance loomed over them like an unscalable mountain.
"We will proceed as planned before, continuing our journey to the Soldiers’ Grave. If we encounter anyone from the Immortal Clan on the way, we will give the Three Emperors Command to them. If not, we will just dispose of it,"
Lu Yan said.
Neither Mr. World nor Shen Yinuo had any objections.
Mr. World continued on the journey, while Shen Yinuo closed her eyes, fully focused on refining the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan took out two magic elixirs, one containing the Rule of Fire and the other containing the Rule of Thunder, and swallowed them, silently refining their power.
Indeed, as the two magic elixirs dissolved in his body, they turned into pure Rule Power, merging into him and enhancing Lu Yan’s Immortal Power.
After refining the two elixirs, Lu Yan’s cultivation level unsurprisingly had advanced further.
Then, he took out another two.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many elixirs of fire and thunder attributes, only four or five of each kind, and Lu Yan quickly refined them all.
Of course, without elixirs, the immortals were not without means to enhance their cultivation. There remained the most common method: drawing mana from the Magic River.
Magic stands above rules.
In the entire world, in the whole of the heavens and earth, the major components are magic and rules.
Rules are few, such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, among a dozen or so kinds, they are the cornerstone of the world.
And magic is the pillar of the world, with an even more numerous variety.
Magic is omnipresent, taking the form of the Magic River, flowing between heaven and earth, within time and space.
Lu Yan’s spiritual sense, emanating outwards, became intertwined with the thunder fire rules between heaven and earth. Using the thunder fire rules, his ’spiritual sense’
seemed to extend infinitely, rushing into the unknown.
The next moment, he could see two rivers flowing in the void.
One was as hot as fire, formed by innumerable flames, vast and boundless, visible from anywhere in the world.
Its length was beyond measure.
One end connected to the Origin World, and the other extended into the vastness of space, linking the past, present, and future.
This was the River of Magic.
This one was the Fire Magic River.
The other was the Thunder Rule River.
The Thunder Rule River was about the same size as the Fire Magic River, running between heaven and earth.
The River of Magic was invisible to the naked eye, and even those below the Immortal Realm could not detect it.
Only the strong beyond the Immortal Realm, through the rules they have comprehended themselves, can glimpse into it.
The vast River of Magic harbored countless minor tributaries.
It was like a massive trunk with numerous slender tendrils.
Each tendril connected to an existence above the Immortal Realm.
Atop Lu Yan’s head, two invisible ’tendrils’ connected him to the Thunder Rule River and the Fire Magic River respectively.
Through these ’tendrils,’ one could draw power from the River of Magic, assimilating it for personal use, thus enhancing one’s Immortal Power and tempering the Immortal Body.
The force within the River of Magic was known as ’mana.’
And once an immortal fell in battle, their power would dissipate, returning to the River of Magic, in a cycle that continued without end.
Lu Yan channeled the ’tendrils,’ streams of mana from the River of Magic flowed down the tendrils, infusing into his body, aiding him in tempering his physique and enhancing his Immortal Power.
However, after a short while, Lu Yan ceased cultivating.
"Cultivating like this is too slow,"
Lu Yan frowned.
He felt there was an invisible force in the heavens and earth, obstructing the connection between him and the River of Magic, making it difficult for him to draw mana quickly.
"Could it be because of the Wild Ocean? Generally, one can only cultivate up to the Immortal Fourth Layer within the Wild Ocean, and advancing to the Immortal Fifth Layer is extremely difficult. Could it be due to some strange, blocking force? Is that the reason why creatures in the Wild Ocean have such poor cultivation efficiency?"
Lu Yan speculated.
But no matter how poor the effect, he needed to continue cultivating.
After all, even a mosquito’s worth is still value.
Adjusting his mindset, Lu Yan resumed drawing mana for cultivation.
As time passed, they drew closer to the Soldiers’ Grave.
"Not good, the people from the Immortal Clan are catching up,"
suddenly, Mr. World spoke up, his face changing.
Because of the fear of being chased by the opposition after the battle with the people from the Three Emperors Alliance, Mr. World had been constantly spreading his spiritual sense, covering a range of thousands of miles to avoid being approached without realizing.
Lu Yan’s spiritual sense immediately fanned out.
Indeed, tens of thousands of miles away, a group of figures was rapidly flying toward them.
Among them, a colorful bird was indeed Skull Fire Mountain’s Master.
