137: Chapter 137: The Spiritual Instrument
An innate true spirit artifact is a powerful true spirit artifact that can only be crafted by those of Legendary Rank or higher. It is intimately connected to the True Spirit Professional, and compared to ordinary true spirit artifacts, its use is much more intuitive.
If crafted properly, an innate true spirit artifact can provide comprehensive enhancements to its owner, with astonishing effects.
While innate true spirit artifacts are powerful, their crafting difficulty is immense. Just the raw Materials, which are legend rank exotic treasures, are enough to deter most people.
Looking across the entire Human Alliance, the number of people who possess an innate true spirit artifact does not exceed fifty.
Excluding the seventeen Epic War Gods, only about thirty lucky Legendary Rank powerhouses own one.
The reason for this is the extreme scarcity of legend rank exotic treasures; each Third-Grade Border Phantom Realm is estimated to contain only one or two.
Furthermore, they might be buried deep underground. Even if the Alliance takes control of a Third-Grade Border Phantom Realm, it's not guaranteed to obtain a legend rank exotic treasure.
“This is definitely something for the future…”
Fang Yuan looked at the detailed description of the innate true spirit artifact. Just by reading it, he made up his mind that once he achieved a Breakthrough to Legendary Rank, he would find a way to get one for himself.
He was full of confidence and didn't believe he couldn't achieve it.
“…”
His confident words made Thank Rain, who had brought up the topic, lose herself in thought. What an incredible level of confidence.
Across the entire Human Alliance, probably not many people would dare to guarantee possessing an innate true spirit artifact at Legendary Rank, not even those with Transcendent True Spirit Talent.
Among the seventeen Epic War Gods, a third of them only acquired an innate true spirit artifact after achieving a Breakthrough to Epic Rank.
After all, as Epic War Gods, the difficulty of acquiring an innate true spirit artifact was much lower than at Legendary Rank. They could exchange legend rank exotic treasures with other Epic War Gods.
As long as their relationship wasn't poor, Epic War Gods who possessed legend rank exotic treasures would generally agree to others' requests.
“Hehe, maybe I'll have my own innate true spirit artifact even sooner.”
“...!”
The special nature of the innate true spirit artifact sparked wild imagination. Li Xuefei, Lin Zhizhi, and Gu Yue all spoke up, expressing their desire to obtain one as well.
Listening to their bold declarations, Thank Rain could only rub her forehead and watch the three of them speechlessly.
Amidst the bustling discussions, the group once again boarded the airship. After some time, they returned to the Alliance Hotel.
For the remaining time, Fang Yuan primarily absorbed crystal cores in the hotel to increase the range of his perception.
Previously, when he achieved a Breakthrough from Gold Rank One to Gold Rank Two, the resulting boost caused his perception range to surge from three thousand meters to three thousand four hundred meters.
Gaining a four-hundred-meter increase the moment of Breakthrough was an unexpected surprise; it would normally take at least six or seven days to achieve that distance through self-improvement.
Some time had passed since his Breakthrough to Gold Rank Two, and now Fang Yuan's perception had increased to three thousand six hundred meters.
According to normal experience, he only needed to expand his perception range to four thousand five hundred meters to achieve a Breakthrough to Gold Rank Three. At this point, he was still nine hundred meters away from this goal.
Currently, Fang Yuan, relying solely on active improvement and absorbing crystal cores for expansion, would only need sixteen to seventeen days to achieve a Breakthrough to Gold Rank Three.
If there were intense battles during this period, it could even shorten the time by a day or two… Just as the group thought the last few days would pass uneventfully, a group of people suddenly arrived at the Alliance Hotel, specifically asking to see Gu Yue.
Upon hearing the news, the group accompanied Gu Yue down to the first-floor hotel lobby, all curious to see who it was.
“Dad, Mom, why are you two in Sky Capital too?”
Gu Yue was curious as to why anyone in Sky Capital would know her. When she arrived on the first floor, she immediately saw two familiar figures.
Her roguish, unkempt father, and her doting mother looking at her. The moment she saw her parents, she immediately ran forward and hugged her mother.
As for Ancient Soar, who was standing beside them in his usual unkempt manner, he could only watch enviously as his precious daughter and wife embraced.
“It's only been a month, how have you been, you rascal?”
Feeling her daughter's closeness, Xiao Xiuqin scrutinized her daughter's condition from head to toe, afraid that something might have happened to her.
“Mom, how did you two get here?”
Gu Yue released her hands, pulling away from her mother's warm embrace, and immediately asked how they had arrived there.
As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the seven or eight figures standing nearby.
Behind Ancient Soar and Xiao Xiuqin stood seven or eight people, one of whom was a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen, yet bore a resemblance to herself.
This reminded her of what Fang Yuan had told her earlier at the Hidden Mist Forest outpost. Judging by the situation, it seemed his words had been validated.
“Ahem~, it's like this. My father, your grandfather, has an older sister, Ancient Lord, in Sky Capital. Before the calamity, she was studying in Sky Capital. After the calamity, your Aunt Ancient Lord, relying on her powerful Talent and hard work, became an Epic War God…”
Under Gu Yue's questioning gaze, Ancient Soar, for once, looked serious as he explained the reason to her.
It turned out that the calamity had separated their original family. Three of the four family members were in Sea City, while her older sister, Ancient Lord, due to her studies, had endured difficult years alone in Sky Capital, eventually becoming a powerful figure.
As an Epic War God, Ancient Lord did not forget her family. After learning that the new city was Sea City, she immediately volunteered to launch an attack.
The Land of Evil was attacked by the Human Alliance's nuclear bombs precisely because of Ancient Lord's suggestion, and coincidentally, the strongest monster there was only Epic Rank Two. All the powerful monsters within the Land of Evil were annihilated…
