116: Chapter 116 Blessed Land of Immortality, Acquired Spiritual Treasure

The Void Realm!

As a projection of reality, no one knows where its boundaries truly lie.

Because in the present world, no one has been able to find the boundary either.

If nothing else, the sudden appearance of the Sub-Primordial Era civilization is the best example.

Two crazily expanding civilizations, as long as they don't stop exploring the present world, will eventually meet one day.

The reason the Main World Federation has never stopped its aggression and expansion is simply because it wants to become stronger.

Only in this way can they have enough foundation and confidence when facing unknown enemies.

An unknown amount of time passed.

When Chen Mo stepped out of the inter-domain gate once again, he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar void.

The surroundings were empty; there was no dust, no meteoroids, only invisible and untouchable dark matter and dark energy.

In fact, for those cultivation systems that rely solely on spiritual energy, the Void Realm is not a good place, and could even be called a forbidden land.

Because here, it is impossible to obtain any supplies.

The fundamental reason why the deities of the Divine Path can survive in the Void Realm for a long time is their Divine Domains and the countless vassal races within them that provide faith.

"Safe!"

Chen Mo carefully observed the surroundings with his Divine Sense and found no trace of any living beings.

As for other Divine Domains or the Divine Kingdoms of True Gods...

Pardon me, but given the vast territory of the Void Realm, the probability of him randomly bumping into a Divine Domain wouldn't be much higher than winning the lottery.

"It's safe enough, but..." Chen Mo swept his Divine Sense across the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers of void again, but still didn't find what he was looking for.

"Perhaps!"

Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he condensed Divine Power in his hand once more.

In an instant, this world turned back into black and white.

Countless thin lines interlaced, but there were significantly fewer than when Chen Mo was near the Divine Domain.

The reason was simple: Spiritual Connection indeed possessed the ability to "modify underlying code."

But there had to be something for Chen Mo to modify.

It was the same principle as "originally there is nothing, so where can dust alight?"

"Found it!"

In the black-and-white world, Chen Mo discovered a point where the silk lines were "far more numerous than in other areas."

Though it was very small, it was incredibly conspicuous in the "Spiritual Connection World."

Without hesitation, Chen Mo immediately withdrew the Spiritual Connection Divine Art and flew straight toward a certain empty spot in the void.

Just as he was about to arrive, an invisible and untouchable spiritual energy light screen appeared before him.

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then tapped a finger against this invisible light screen.

"Crack!"

A sound like breaking glass rang out.

Then, Chen Mo saw a brand new world.

No, it should be called a "Blessed Land" that had been floating in the Void Realm for an unknown number of years.

Pavilions, mountains, streams... well, none of those were there, or rather, they used to be.

After all, Chen Mo had seen the true "Longevity Blessed Land" in his inherited memories.

To be honest, for a moment, he really couldn't associate that vibrant small world with the world before his eyes.

In his current perspective, only a nearly "dried up" world remained.

Collapsed peaks, cracked earth, and magma gushing from the ground.

Although he had anticipated this, this so-called "Longevity Blessed Land" still disappointed him a little.

A Blessed Land should be more than enough to sustain an Immortal Sect.

Not to mention the spiritual veins and spirit stones produced every year, the Longevity Immortal Sect had also cultivated a large number of spiritual beasts, exotic species, and precious spiritual items within it.

Now, it was all gone.

"That is..." Chen Mo's pupils couldn't help but contract.

He saw an "old acquaintance"—no! It should be an "old corpse."

The figure was still leaning against the giant rock in the center of the Blessed Land, a right hand turned to Withered Bones slightly raised, as if it had thrown something out.

Without a doubt, the thing thrown out was naturally the inheritance jade slip that Chen Mo had already used.

This Young Sect Master of the Longevity Immortal Sect had, in the end, successfully completed the continuation of the inheritance before his death and sent it out.

"Sigh!"

With one step, Chen Mo arrived beside the Withered Bones.

As the Young Sect Master of an Immortal Sect, although he was a bit unmotivated, his cultivation was at the Heavenly Immortal level, equivalent to a True God of the Divine Path.

Now that an unknown number of eras had passed, although his flesh had decayed, his Withered Bones still remained.

"Might as well not let it go to waste. After all, it's the skeleton of a True God; it's still worth quite a bit if sold to a deity of the Necrotic Pantheon. It's a pity there's not a trace of True Spirit left, otherwise, I might have even been able to try 'True Spirit Transformation'."

Chen Mo shook his head, and with a faint flash from his storage bracelet, the remains of this Young Sect Master were collected inside.

A storage ring engraved with the Daoist script for "Longevity Infinite" fell into Chen Mo's hand.

But before Chen Mo could extend his Divine Sense to check it, the storage ring turned to fly ash, and various items appeared out of thin air before him at that moment.

There were jade bottles and jade slips, but more were just miscellaneous items and spirit stones.

Yet the moment these things were exposed, just like the storage ring, they turned to fly ash.

"Time!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh, then picked up three items from the pile of ashes on the ground.

A jade tablet engraved with "Immortal Palace Decree."

A "pill" that still flickered with a faint golden light despite the passage of countless eras.

Chen Mo couldn't immediately identify the first two, but he really did recognize the third.

It was a small flag emitting black smoke.

During the early stages of the Immortal Calamity, many cultivators used this item to carry out mass slaughters on various colonized planets in the Main World; almost every one of these people had one of these small flags.

This thing was called a "Soul-Snaring Banner," and almost every cultivator of the Sub-Primordial Era had one.

"Immortal weapons and Dharma treasures have all turned to fly ash, yet you're 'living' quite well."

Chen Mo scanned the Soul-Snaring Banner with his Divine Sense and immediately understood the true reason it could persist until now.

Because even now, there was still some soul power inside it; as for souls or anything like that, Chen Mo didn't see a single one.

"According to the speculations in some discussion threads on the forum, the Fifth Primordial Great Tribulation almost wiped out all living beings and didn't even allow souls to persist. Looking at it now, that speculation seems to be verified."

Chen Mo took the Soul-Snaring Banner into his hand, and a wave of forest-like cold immediately came over him.

But with a shake of the Divine Power in his hand, the Soul-Snaring Banner immediately became well-behaved.

"I'll keep it for now; it might be useful."

Chen Mo directly put the Soul-Snaring Banner into his storage bracelet, then looked at the other two items.

If the Soul-Snaring Banner persisted until now by relying on "soul power," then these two items relied on their own quality.

Chen Mo first examined the jade tablet, but besides the material being extremely hard, there seemed to be no highlights, and the panel's detection function didn't give any useful prompts.

However, that "pill" gave him a surprise.

Name: Longevity Sword Pill. Category: Top-grade Immortal Treasure {Originally Acquired Spirit Treasure}.

Description: The natal immortal weapon of the Longevity Immortal Venerable, a foundational inheritance treasure of the Longevity Immortal Sect.

Note: This spiritual treasure's spirituality has degraded due to a long-term lack of spiritual power.

"Good stuff!"

Chen Mo naturally knew what a Acquired Spirit Treasure represented; that was something even Golden Immortals might not possess.

Although it had lost its spirituality now, the foundation was still there. With proper nurturing, it wasn't impossible for it to return to its peak.

As for whether Chen Mo could use spiritual treasures and immortal weapons, the answer was yes.

Divine Power, as a universal source, could serve as the energy supply for almost all transcendent systems.

It's just that there would be a discount in power, as the refining methods and concepts of the spiritual treasures and immortal weapons themselves still belonged to the immortal cultivation path.

"And..."

Chen Mo directly took the Sword Pill into his Divine Soul, but his gaze turned toward the giant rock Qin Feng had previously leaned against.

Spiritual treasures or Blessed Lands alike.

For Chen Mo's true purpose, these were all secondary.

The thing he wanted was far beyond what people of this era could understand.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a bunch of big shots in the Main World thinking about how to enter the sub-primordial plane."

Whether it's to cause destruction or gather intelligence, when facing a top-tier plane, even a Supreme Being would have to pay a great price to complete a 'smuggling' operation, but I... don't have to!"

With this thought in mind, Chen Mo had already tapped a finger onto the giant rock in front of him.

This stone held extraordinary significance in the Longevity Immortal Sect; it was not only the core of the Longevity Blessed Land but also a part of the Primordial Source.

72 Blessed Lands, 36 Cave Heavens!

Every single one has an inseparable "connection" with the Primordial Source.

If the Sub-Primordial Era was truly formed by the re-aggregation of the shattered Primordial Era, then...

"Open!"

A sharp light erupted in Chen Mo's eyes, and the Divine Power in his body drained away at a visible rate.

And in front of him, a vortex suddenly appeared in the very center of the longevity immortal stone.

Although the world inside the vortex couldn't be seen clearly, the nearly tangible spiritual energy had already told Chen Mo the answer.
