Chapter 1184: Chapter 357: Dynasty Alliance, Cultivator Alliance, the True Order!
"The Teleportation Array at Hidden Dragon Path requires a massive amount of Spiritual Power to operate, but most of the time it remains idle."
Sikong Yan explained, "And as a critical point of interest, the Royal Treasury’s enchantments also require a large amount of Spiritual Power to maintain."
"The Xuanyuan Family cleverly linked the two, saving resources and allowing the Spiritual Power of the Teleportation Array to quickly repair the Treasury’s enchantments if they were damaged."
Zhou Qing frowned slightly, nodding thoughtfully.
This design was indeed clever, avoiding the waste of Spiritual Power and providing an additional layer of protection for the Treasury.
Seeing this, Sikong Yan flicked his fingertip again, causing the image of the golden red spiritual vein to magnify several times.
On the surface of the spiritual vein were countless intricate runes, like blood flowing through veins.
"See these runes?" Sikong Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Every half month, this spiritual vein delivers Spiritual Power to the Treasury’s grand array. And at the moment of delivery—"
Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up, immediately understanding his meaning: "The channel will briefly open!"
"Exactly!" Sikong Yan clenched his fist tightly, causing the image to shatter and disperse into particles of Spiritual Light in the air.
"At that moment, we just need to use the Token, enter the Teleportation Array, and follow the spiritual vein upstream to sneak into the Treasury unnoticed."
Seeing Sikong Yan’s excited expression, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Truly, the most dangerous infiltrator is the one who knows the ropes.
It seems he has completely severed ties with the Xuanyuan Family.
But speaking of which, this time Nangong Xiongba targeted the Taiqing Sect with the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen leaking information and Prince Xuanyuan Shuo lurking in the shadows.
Even rescuing Nangong Xiongba at the perfect moment—perhaps, as Second Senior Sister said, this might be a trap set for me.
If I could recruit him, this Level 4 Array Master, it would be ideal. If not, then perhaps eliminating him quickly would be necessary.
Not to mention Xuanyuan Shuo’s brutish Soul Search made Zhou Qing harbor resentment towards the Xuanyuan Family.
If it weren’t for the support of the Lu Sisters and the Grandmaster, the Taiqing Sect would have long suffered because of him.
Thinking of this, he felt a tinge of anticipation for Sikong Yan’s proposal to steal from the Treasury, without any guilt in his heart.
Moreover, aside from the sixth strand of Inscription Level Divine Techniques and the subsequent Spirit Seal replication, he needs some wood attribute Spirit Stones for essential life-saving moments while preparing for a breakthrough in Spirit Slash.
Although he has already prepared two thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, they are merely energy reserves for critical moments during the breakthrough.
Sikong Yan noticed Zhou Qing’s silence, a trace of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He cleared his throat softly, his tone slowing, "Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with that place, I’ve been there many times before."
"Back then I naively thought the most dangerous place is the safest place."
He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Even boldly entered and searched extensively inside."
Zhou Qing’s eyes moved slightly, "I’m curious, if I were the Old Emperor, a mere secret recipe, wouldn’t it be safer to carry it directly?"
"As someone at the Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm, surely no one would dare to snatch it, so why place it elsewhere?"
Sikong Yan chuckled, a gleam flashing in his eyes, "Because it’s not just an ordinary secret recipe, but a rare treasure capable of allowing Perfection of Divinity Transformation to breakthrough Spirit Slash."
He paused, his tone becoming solemn, "Given the joy of today, I’ll tell you a bit about it."
"Perfection of Divinity Transformation to breakthrough Spirit Slash relies entirely on one’s Cultivation, external aid is practically negligible."
Sikong Yan’s eyes were fervent, "Even if there were some assistance, it’s not something ordinary people could access, like Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown..."
Zhou Qing listened with contemplation.
He recalled Jiyuan Temple’s Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone, a Divine Technique that indeed helps one achieve Spirit Slash, but until now, only Abbot Ku E and Junior Brother Ku Di have cultivated it within the Spirit Severing Realm.
At such a stage, requiring such Divine Techniques seemed unnecessary.
Sikong Yan’s eyes were profound, continued, "Are you thinking that a Fifth-level Cultivation Country might have shortcuts for elevating to Spirit Slash?"
"Instead of exhausting one’s lifespan here, why not take a chance there? After all, Spirit Severing Realm is indeed abundant there."
Sikong Yan noticed Zhou Qing’s slight movement and lightly shook his head, a hint of bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"Nice thought, but unfortunately people don’t know that the abundance of Spirit Severing Realm in a Fifth-level Cultivation Country, or even the mythical Sixth-level Cultivation Country, is all due to their vast resources."
"Starting from Foundation Establishment," Sikong Yan’s tone gradually deepened, "cultivators there can access the finest Heavenly Dao Qi."
"Not to mention the opportunities for training that ordinary people struggle to pursue, and personal guidance from Spirit Slash Great Powers."
"All these forge a foundation in Dao Heart for them that far exceeds ordinary people right from the start of cultivation."
Sikong Yan gazed into the distance, continued, "Moreover, just considering the territory of a single Fifth-level Cultivation Country, it’s equivalent to dozens, even hundreds of Fourth-level Cultivation Countries like ours."
He shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a touch of emotion, "Think about it, with such vast territory, how enormous is the number of cultivators, and how many exceptional talents should there be?"
"Yet even so, those who truly enter the Spirit Severing Realm are but as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns."
"It’s merely the large base accumulating into an abundance, making us perceive that Spirit Severing Realm are abundant in Fifth-level Cultivation Countries."
Zhou Qing said nothing, after all, he had considered this before.
For instance, like Shen Yunzhou who could travel here despite being Late-stage in the Divinity Transformation Realm, people here could likewise reach there.
Perhaps lacking a good Flying Ship merely costs more time.
"It’s akin to the Nascent Soul cultivators in some Third-level Cultivation Countries perceiving that in Fourth-level Cultivation Countries, Divinity Transformation Realm is widespread, making breakthroughs seem effortlessly achievable."
