Chapter 743 - 529: Numerous Treasures (2)
Underneath each supreme treasure, there was a dense number of contribution points indicated—each amounted to billions.
Such astronomical figures were utterly beyond reach for him at this moment, possessing only 48,400 contribution points, like a mirage; visible but untouchable.
Chen Sheng pondered silently:
"It is said that the Xianling Clan continuously produces geniuses and strong individuals in every generation because their lineage possesses a branch of the Immortal Body, giving them extraordinary innate abilities from birth."
"Though a Great Success Immortal Spirit Body is not comparable to the Immortal Body forged by these three supreme treasures, it remains one of the most mystical physiques beneath the Immortal Body."
"Across numerous Grand Thousand Worlds, it is also a top-notch talent, no wonder Gu Xunzhen and Gu Qiuwu have advanced so swiftly."
Back in the day, at Heaven and Earth Sword Mountain, Chen Sheng had already achieved Integration Third Step Perfection!
While Gu Xunzhen and Gu Qiuwu were only at Integration Second Step Perfection, far behind him.
Yet, as the long years passed, and the world changed.
These two, relying on their innate talents and diligent cultivation, successively broke through their bottlenecks, surpassing Chen Sheng step by step, leaving him far behind.
Now, Gu Xunzhen has achieved Integration Fourth Step Perfection, singing all the way on the path of climbing the peaks, reaching the twenty-ninth peak.
And Gu Qiuwu, even more remarkable, with extraordinary talent, has reached the thirtieth peak, with one foot already stepping into the realm of Crossing the Tribulation, ready to break through limitations and achieve the title of Tribulation Crossing Daoist Monarch at any moment.
"It’s a pity that the Xianling Clan doesn’t pass down their bloodline, otherwise, I..."
Chen Sheng slightly shook his head, suppressing the emotion in his heart, and continued to scan the Treasure Vault with his Divine Thought.
Beneath the wondrous celestial treasures, the Treasure Vault contained many other treasures, all aimed at enhancing innate talents and insight, and increasing cultivation potential eternally.
Though they were not as overwhelmingly powerful as the aforementioned three celestial treasures, they far surpassed ordinary treasures, being the objects of countless cultivators’ dreams.
As Chen Sheng’s Divine Thought scanned through, a treasure imbued with Five Elements Dao Rhyme caught his eye:
"The Innate Five Elements Dao Embryo is formed by the condensation of chaotic Five Elements Qi, shaped like a round pearl and colored green, red, yellow, white, and black. Once refined, it can forge the Innate Five Elements Daoist Body."
"This Daoist Body is inherently favored by the Great Dao of the Innate Five Elements, making insights into the Five Elements Cultivation Technique twice as effective with half the effort, and absorbing Spiritual Qi much faster than an ordinary person."
"With such a Daoist Body, reaching the Crossing the Tribulation stage becomes extremely easy, and there is also significant hope for completely comprehending the Innate Five Elements and reaching the Mahayana stage."
He continued his exploration, thinking covertly:
"And then there’s the Wisdom Light Dao Fruit, shaped like an immortal peach, glowing and emanating innate wisdom aura condensed between heaven and earth."
"The fruit’s flesh contains immense wisdom energy, and after consumption, it can endow cultivators with exceptional insight, allowing them to see through the essence while deciphering the mysteries of the Great Dao, bypassing numerous detours."
"Even with the most obscure and hard-to-understand Innate Great Dao, it can be comprehended gradually and steadily, eliminating worries about insufficient insight."
Additionally, there were treasures like the "Dao Heart Nourishing Soul Pill" and "Innate Wisdom Root Herb," all aimed at eternally enhancing insight.
However, the contribution points required for each treasure were astronomical, requiring at least millions of contribution points each, and some even tens of millions.
Still out of his reach, even if he exhausts everything, he could only sigh in fascination.
Chen Sheng slowly withdrew his Divine Thought, thinking silently to himself:
"At present, I have accumulated 48,400 contribution points, compared to what these treasures require, they are but a drop in the ocean..."
"These treasures are beyond reach, but there may still be an opportunity to exchange for those more ordinary ones that enhance insight and abilities."
A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Sheng’s eyes, passing over those unattainable supreme treasures, and he directly locked onto a batch of treasures.
These treasures are all centered around improving insight, enhancing talents, and aiding cultivation potential, but each emphasizes different aspects and fits different circumstances.
Chen Sheng secretly noted, his Divine Thought flowing among various treasures to distinguish them carefully:
"These treasures can be roughly divided into two categories, each with its wonders, fitting different stages of cultivation."
"The first category is temporary comprehension enhancing treasures, with durations varying, usually lasting several Primordial Assemblies to millions of years, producing rapid effects, specifically for realm-breaking and gate-crashing purposes."
"The second category is eternal augmentation treasures, which, once refined, would permanently support the Dao Foundation and Primordial Spirit, offering lifelong benefits. The enhancement is weaker but can nurture for a long time, prepared for long-term cultivation."
"These two types of treasures, each has its wonders, with neither superior nor inferior, but dependent on current needs."
As Chen Sheng’s Divine Thought circulated, the shapes and effects of each temporary comprehension-enhancing treasure clearly emerged in his mind:
"The Wondrous Mind and Dao Incense is made from Innate Dao Heart Herb, primordial enlightenment dew, and blood soul flower, refined by an ancient alchemist, with the incense body appearing dark red, veiled in a mist of golden and red intertwined smoke..."
"Lighting this incense causes the smoke to enter the body, resonating one’s Dao Heart with the Great Daos of the heavens, lasting for five Primordial Assemblies."
"During this time, insight skyrockets several folds; even the sources of the most complex Great Daos can be swiftly penetrated to break cultivation shackles."
"Then there’s the ’Hundred Tribulations Insight Dew,’ formed by the insight soul aura within the catastrophe clouds of heavens, refined through countless tribulations, gathered and contained within an Innate Jade Bottle, with each drop holding immense insight soul power..."
"Consuming one drop nourishes the Primordial Spirit, purifies the soul perception, making it clear and transparent, significantly enhancing insight, and allowing cultivators to avoid Heart Demon interference during realm-breaking, achieving twice the result with half the effort."
Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the Jade Meditation Mat, quickly weighing pros and cons in his mind:
"The most urgent matter at present is to strive for Crossing the Tribulation!"
"Lack of potential and limited insight are the causes of my troubles."
"Eternal augmentation treasures are good, but may not resolve my current predicament."
"I have not pursued achievements of a single lifetime, but rather, the enlightenment of a hundred reincarnations and thousands of lives."
"If in this life I do not succeed in Crossing the Tribulation, even with eternal enhancements, it would be wasted effort, with future accumulation unheard of."
"I must take drastic measures, leveraging temporary amplification items to forcibly enhance insight and seize the best opportunity for realm-breaking!"
"Though temporary amplification items are time-bound, they are sufficient to greatly enhance my insight in a short period..."
"By then comprehending the core Laws of Blood Path, Sword Dao, Martial Arts, and Array Dao... greatly increasing the likelihood of breaking through Integration and stepping into Crossing the Tribulation!"
Chen Sheng was resolute:
"Only by first breaking through Crossing the Tribulation, accumulating more cultivation capital and prolonged lifespan..."
"Can I have the qualifications to pursue those eternally insight-enhancing supreme treasures and go further in the future."
Having made his decision, Chen Sheng no longer hesitated and, with a thought, began meticulously selecting from the first category of temporary comprehension-enhancing treasures.
He specifically chose the treasures that aligned with his own Dao path, which could aid in comprehending the core Laws of Blood Path, Sword Dao, Array Dao...
Only such treasures could maximize their efficacy and assist him in breaking through his realm quickly.
"The Blood Marrow Insight Balm, made with marrow of a blood path immortal beast, innate blood soul flower, and Insight Grass, containing vast blood path insight energy..."
"Once refined, it lasts for five hundred thousand years, granting great insights into the core of the blood path, requiring eighty thousand contribution points."
"The Sword Heart Enlightenment Sand, formed from the sword heart insight aura left by ancient Sword Immortals during their enlightenment..."
"Once integrated into the Sword Heart, it directly addresses the core of the Sword Dao source, lasting for three hundred thousand years, requiring one hundred and twenty thousand contribution points."
"The Myriad Array Insight Pearl, containing countless array pattern illusions, lasting for a million years, simulating and changing formations... aiding comprehension of the Array Dao source, requiring two hundred thousand contribution points."
...
Chen Sheng scanned each item with his Divine Thought, gradually locking onto those treasures suitable for himself, with a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
These three, if redeemed and refined during the push for Crossing the Tribulation, could significantly increase the chance of realm-breaking.
Then, he slowly withdrew his consciousness, allowing his surrounding Dao Rhyme to settle once more, quickly entering the state of diligent cultivation.
"There’s no need to redeem them for now, and I can’t afford to..."
"Breaking through Void Tribulation and achieving Void Tribulation Perfection is just a slow and steady effort, no need to waste treasures and contribution points pointlessly."
"Once achieving Integration Fourth Step Perfection, at the true impact of Crossing the Tribulation... will be the time to redeem these items and leverage them for realm-breaking."
