Chapter 548 - 247: I Don’t Know What a Bottleneck Is, and I’m Not Interested in Breakthroughs (2)

Before his eyes lay heaps and heaps of spirit stones.

These spirit stones were piled together to form a small mountain, emitting a unique greenish glow that belongs to spirit stones.

Apart from some materials, elixirs, and talismans, the most were some tools used for divination, magical artifacts, a large box of jade slips, and over a thousand Qiankun Bags from the Armored Race that looked very familiar.

Lu Wenwu sighed inwardly.

In circles, these resources eventually ended up back in his hands.

Unfortunately, all this random stuff seemed to be of little use to him.

There was already a small mountain of tremendous resources piled up in the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, all high-quality from the previous little world.

After some thought, Lu Wenwu took out a box of jade slips collected by the Destiny True Venerable and put them in his backpack, preparing to browse them later along with the Armored Race’s jade slips.

He then threw all the Qiankun Bags into the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, intending to have the Celestial Fire Demon God sort them out later.

Outside the Life and Death Talisman, the Celestial Fire Demon God felt a pang of anxiety, nervously saying, "Demon Venerable... I..."

"Do you want the same fate as these two idiots?" Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow.

"No, I dare not." The Celestial Fire Demon God laughed dryly, "Whatever Brother Wu says goes."

"That’s better."

Lu Wenwu nodded in satisfaction and poured a handful of elixirs into his mouth.

The taste was a bit bitter.

This was something he casually took from the Destiny True Venerable’s storage bag earlier, shown by the Eye of True Sight to be a commonly used Qi Replenishing Elixir for the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Now he ate five or six in one go, and the effect seemed passable.

Just not as good as those from the system’s store, but enjoyable enough.

He looked down at the devastated ground and the vanished Celestial Star City, and, after much thought, flapped his dragon wings and flew southeast.

That was where the sea was located.

After the battle with three Divinity Transformation cultivators, the original geological structure here was completely destroyed.

Even the lingering resonance of the spirit vein had been utterly annihilated by the aftershocks.

The aftermath and consequences of battles between Divinity Transformation powerhouses were already extremely terrifying.

With the addition of the demon qi and blood evil qi released by Lu Wenwu, the result was even more severe.

Without a Divinity Transformation cultivator to sort out the spiritual qi or to cover the place with an array, the original site of Celestial Star City would become uninhabitable within five years, and cultivation would be impossible.

This destructive power, exaggerated by the fleeing Mo Lu True Venerable, would inevitably be credited to Lu Wenwu.

As long as Lu Wenwu remained within the sphere of influence of the Immortal Dao Alliance, the next force sent to intercept him would undoubtedly be of the late-stage Divinity Transformation.

Facing powerhouses, Lu Wenwu was unafraid and only felt excitement.

But he had reflected a bit earlier and felt that it was inadvisable to rush at the moment, and he needed to settle down for a while.

Since coming out of the last dungeon, he had not had much time for cultivation before being blocked at the resurrection point, leaving him with no time to carefully comprehend the previous changes in cultivation before being forced into successive battles with powerhouses.

This was not good.

Given his current state, it was necessary to find a place to sort through the vast gains he had accumulated and thoroughly convert them into combat strength.

Moreover, the investigation of the Cyan Profound Sword Sect needed to be put on the agenda since this was the main storyline task.

To find longevity cultivators that have survived for thousands of years, the prospects on the human side were bleak, and the information provided by the Celestial Secret Tower was but a scratch.

Within the Demon Race, there was a strong, highly civilized faction with the True Dragon Race, who inherited from their ancestors, making them undoubtedly a very good choice.

The destination of Lu Wenwu’s journey was the depths of the sea.

He intended to witness this world’s underwater Dragon Palace and hoped not to be disappointed.

If he could enter relying on the True Dragon Battle Body, that would naturally be great.

If not...

Then this poor Daoist knows a bit about convincing dragons with virtue!

"Later, come with me to my little world and help me sort through those spoils. Keep what’s useful, and have the mechanical assistant build a warehouse for the rest and categorize them." Lu Wenwu instructed while flying.

"Okay, Brother Wu."

The Celestial Fire Demon God felt his heart tremble—even though he didn’t have a heart for a long time and didn’t know what a mechanical farmer was.

He now more firmly believed that Lu Wenwu was the next Dragon Emperor of the Immortal Realm.

Who in the late-stage Nascent Soul could carry a little world with them all the time?!

This was simply extraordinarily heaven-defying!

"What does Brother Wu consider ’useful’?"

"Keep what’s good for farming, and keep what’s good for cooking. The rest is useless."

"???"

The Celestial Fire Demon God almost thought he heard wrong and confirmed again.

"Brother Wu, are you sure...about keeping what’s good for farming and cooking? And not throwing them away? Aren’t you directly using those spirit stones, magical artifacts, elixirs, and heavenly treasures?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Wenwu looked at him in surprise, "Why would I need spirit stones, elixirs, and heavenly treasures that are useless?"

...Useless?!

The Celestial Fire Demon God was stunned.

"But... but those things can aid your cultivation, or... or support your realm breakthrough! At least... you should need these things, right?"

Lu Wenwu patted Mao Mao’s dog head and explained with a smile, "A person’s eating speed has a limit, as does the speed of absorbing spiritual qi. You think these things can speed up your cultivation because you’ve never reached the limit."

"For me, whether relying on heaven and earth spiritual qi for cultivation or devouring and refining elixirs and spirit stones, the speed is the same. Because I can independently reach the maximum devouring and refining speed, these are useless to me."

"Then...what about realm breakthroughs?" the Celestial Fire Demon God stammered, "Being able to increase the chance of breakthroughs is still good."

Lu Wenwu shook his head with a smile, "Since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I have never known what a bottleneck is. In other words, I have never known what belongs to the bottleneck at my current realm. After all, I have always cultivated a magic technique that surpasses my current realm by a large margin."

"Even...by two."

All Laws Connect to God.

This realm, normally attained at the Peak of S Rank, had already been completed by Lu Wenwu when he set foot on the path of cultivation.

And the realm above All Laws Connect to God is something even many Ascension God Powerhouses find hard to reach.

Lu Wenwu has already taken half a step into it, steadily advancing toward that human world’s unseen scenery.

In terms of magical techniques and divine techniques, Lu Wenwu acknowledges that his talent is not top-notch and requires some time to accumulate. It would be great if someone could guide him.

But in fist technique and cultivation, all he needs is time.

Or perhaps...

Some enemies’ selfless contributions?

Let me come back after settling down at the East Sea Dragon Palace and test my purity!

Little did Lu Wenwu know, as he made up his mind to head to the East Sea while conversing with the Celestial Fire Demon God, the Immortal Dao Alliance was in complete chaos.

In the headquarters of the Immortal Dao Alliance, at the Sacrificial Hall, the soul tokens of both Destiny True Venerable and Flashing Light Sword Venerable simultaneously shattered, and the mourning bell tolled eighteen times, resonating above all the immortal sects!

The simultaneous fall of two Divinity Transformation True Venerables shook all top immortal sects within the Immortal Dao Alliance, leaving them puzzled as to what exactly happened.

In Celestial Secret City’s Celestial Secret Tower Pavilion, and the Sect Ancestral Hall of the Infinite Sword Sect, the duty disciples of the two major forces witnessed the extinguishing of their Supreme Elder’s life lamps, their faces all changing dramatically as they staggered toward the Sect Leader’s chamber.

They could not believe that the mourning bell was mourning their own Supreme Elder.

In the depths of mountains within the Five Elements Array Sect, in an extremely concealed space.

This place couldn’t even be called a cave mansion, only having a few meditation mats, and a few obscured figures were meditating, exuding an increasingly deep and profound pressure.

As the mourning bell tolled, several figures simultaneously opened their eyes.

At the same time, deep within the space, a gray ancient altar suddenly shattered, releasing large swaths of thunder and light.

The heat instantly raised the temperature here several times, making the quiet place near the Spirit Vein Dragon unbearably hot.

A charred figure stumbled out from inside, nearly collapsing unconscious on the ground.

Who else could it be if not the fleeing Mo Lu True Venerable?
