Chapter 653 - 502: Five Treasures
After such a long wait, having finally endured the difficulties set by the Sikong Family, this eagerly awaited moment has arrived.
Hearing Miaomiao Profound Monarch say to choose one out of several, Lu Qian cursed in his heart. Taiyi Paradise provided a full eighteen treasure ships, all rare treasures in the world, and yet you turn around and give me a few as charity to choose just one from.
After all this fuss, you brat must have taken a kickback from the benefits given by the Grand Monarch!
Nevertheless, no matter what, he had to outwardly show a facade of deep gratitude and profusely express his thanks.
In Miaomiao Profound Monarch’s view, this contribution of transmitting information is only worth so much, what else can be done, can it defy the Celestial Gang?
Miaomiao Profound Monarch waved his long sleeves, and five beams of spiritual light danced out, suspended before Lu Qian.

Looking at these five dazzling, differently colored rare treasures, Lu Qian was slightly dazed. Miaomiao Profound Monarch chuckled, pointed with a finger, and drew a speck of white light from between his eyebrows, injecting it into a Jade Scroll.
Handing the Jade Scroll to Lu Qian, Miaomiao Profound Monarch smiled and said, "This contains introductions to the five treasures, go ahead and choose one."
Lu Qian bowed, and with his divine sense, he probed into the Jade Scroll, immediately flooding his Sea of Consciousness with several pieces of information.
The first item was a Jade Scroll, the "Venus Fubo Lian Guang True Technique."
This is a cultivation technique capable of reaching Nascent Soul Perfection and breaking into the Primordial Spirit Realm. Having learned from intelligence that Lu Qian possesses Gold-Water Dual Spiritual Roots, this volume of cultivation technique is precisely suited for Gold-Water Dual Attributes, allowing one to meld a Light Secret Skill from Gold and Water Qi to slice through thunder and sever rivers.
If an ordinary Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar saw this technique, they would tremble with excitement. Unfortunately—
Bah, trash! Lu Qian murmured to himself.
Well, actually, it’s not entirely trash. Even though he possesses Jichuan Profound Monarch’s "Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Divine Skill," and has access to the Profound Monarch’s reserves, the "Yushan Seventh Grade Profound Mystery Scripture" now contains thirteen Fifth-Grade (Nascent Soul Level) cultivation techniques, five Fourth-Grade (Primordial Spirit Level) techniques, and two Third-Grade (Void Refining Level, excluding the "Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Profound Skill").
However, this reserve is, after all, cultivation techniques from over two thousand years ago, and after so many years of iteration and upgrades, "Venus Fubo Lian Guang True Technique" put forth by Miaomiao Profound Monarch must surpass it in some aspects.
Still, this is not something Lu Qian urgently needs right now, so he’ll set it aside for now.
The next item was a Pill Book containing four exclusive Golden Core Level pill formulas. They cover restoration of bodily injuries, recovery of divine sense, augmentation of cultivation, and clearing the mind to prevent heart demons with Spirit Pills.
However, through exchanging pill formulas with the Danxia Sect, and due to current close relations with them, Lu Qian lacks nothing in terms of spirit pills. Yunshan Sect acquired pill formulas for treating physical injuries, restoring divine sense, and accelerating cultivation at the Golden Core Level, leaving only the heart demon prevention pill as the precious one.
Yet, it is still that case, not something Lu Qian urgently needs. Set it aside for now.
The third item was a short sword.
The sword shimmered brilliantly, with gold, red, and purple clouds swirling within its blade. The scabbard was adorned with densely packed, tiny, and translucent gems, inlaid into circles of talismanic patterns, appearing mysterious and wonderful.
Lu Qian couldn’t resist lightly gripping the hilt, causing the short sword to tremble, its resonance echoing through the grand hall. At the same time, Lu Qian felt a powerful suction from his palm, with his spiritual power surging through his acupoints into the short sword!
Startled, he shook the Dao Pattern to sever the flow of spiritual power, only for the sword’s resonance to cease, leaving just a faint gleam.
A Secret Treasure, the Celestial Urgent Three Light Sword!
Lu Qian shivered, and with his divine sense, explored further, finding, as expected, that the remaining two items were also Secret Treasures.
Miaomiao Profound Monarch, at least you’re not so stingy that you didn’t bring out some good stuff!
So-called Secret Treasures, they are extraordinary artifacts beyond the usual Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and Magical Treasures. Their foremost characteristic is surpassing cultivation limitations to unleash powers far exceeding the current cultivation level.
The Yunshan Sect currently possesses two Secret Treasures: one is the Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting, which can be activated by a minimum of nine Foundation Establishment and a maximum of eighteen, with the power of the Dragon-Slaying Sword depending on the number and cultivation of those activating it, ranging from the Early Stage of Golden Core to Golden Core Perfection.
The second is the Tunneling Armor Divine Decree, which, when used on a single target, greatly enhances escape speed, capable of making Foundation Establishment speed comparable to Golden Core. When used on groups, it can increase group speed by at least thirty percent.
Both treasures can be exceptionally effective, especially the Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting, which forms the foundation for Xuanguang Sect’s dominance over surrounding sects, allowing subordinates to attack each other like nurturing venomous insects. Now, it has become a part of Yunshan Sect’s heritage.
And now, three more Secret Treasures have been placed before Lu Qian.
Celestial Urgent Three Light Sword... the wielder channels spiritual power into the Celestial Urgent Sword, increasing its power with more spiritual power stored. When the sword is fully charged, releasing all its power in a single strike reaches the full might of Golden Core Perfection!
However, only a single wielder can charge it, and for a typical Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, fully charging the sword’s power would take about a year.
In other words, at most, one could launch a Golden Core Perfection level attack once a year with the Celestial Urgent Three Light Sword in hand!
Though the interval is a bit long, it’s nevertheless a trump card. Used wisely, it could even turn the tide of battle, deciding victory on a Golden Core Level battlefield!
What a treasure, Lu Qian’s eyes lit up, Miaomiao Profound Monarch, my earlier criticism of you being stingy was premature; I take it back.
