Chapter 469 - 242: Qi Mansion Celestial Spirits

Liou Yuan’s muttering echoed in the secret chamber, then gradually subsided into silence.

His face was clouded with worry, and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

Originally, he thought that the ghost ship could only affect his Heart Demon.

Now it seems that its power can already project into reality.

This is undoubtedly a terrible piece of news; Liou Yuan still has no clear understanding of the ghost ship, doesn’t know where it came from, and doesn’t know what level of power it possesses.

It simply feels like its existence itself is something terrifying.

Now being targeted by such an unknown force, Liou Yuan feels overwhelmed.

"What exactly does it want to do?"

Liou Yuan gently murmured and then turned his gaze to the ’卍’ mark on his chest.

Afterward, he focused his mind, mobilizing Geng Metal Spiritual Power towards the mark, trying to smooth it out with spiritual power.

As a result, when approaching the mark, the spiritual energy passed through without any obstruction, not touching the mark at all.

Liou Yuan was not discouraged and summoned Cyan Nether Sword Qi instead.

When Cyan Nether Sword Qi was released, the stone walls of the secret chamber couldn’t withstand the sharpness of the sword qi, leaving countless tiny sword marks.

However, when the sword qi touched the mark, the result was no different from before.

Apart from being visible to the eyes, it seemed as if the mark didn’t exist.

Liou Yuan even tried to touch the mark with his Divine Sense, but the outcome was still the same.

"Nonexistent?" Liou Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed.

It’s not nonexistent; rather, apart from seeing it with his eyes, all the methods under Liou Yuan’s control cannot affect it.

Similarly, the mark doesn’t seem to have caused any substantial harm to Liou Yuan.

Since the mark appeared, Liou Yuan hasn’t felt any changes in his body.

Realizing this, Liou Yuan’s complexion got a bit better.

"At least I don’t see any deadly danger for now."

"But having this thing on my body still feels eerie and frightening; I must find a way to remove it after I achieve Foundation Establishment."

Just then, the Compass within Liou Yuan’s body began to stir again.

The residual energy of the Compass suddenly rippled, revealing a dense series of text inside him.

[Detected Dark Prison Seal]

[Danger Level: Level Two Class A]

[Remove Dark Prison Seal to receive Class A Golden Core inheritance]

"Level Two Class A!" Liou Yuan’s eyebrows raised.

Danger Level One is Foundation Establishment.

Level Two is Golden Core.

Han Zhenzi was wildly fierce, breaking through the defenses of both righteous and evil factions in Youhuang State single-handedly; yet, the Fixed Star Compass rated him only as Level One Class A.

The Alien Star Evil taken by Daoist Huixie, also tremendously fierce, was merely rated as Level One Class A danger.

The mark left by the ghost ship on Liou Yuan has already reached the level of Level Two Class A.

It proves the mark has reached the Golden Core level, no wonder Liou Yuan feels helpless against it now.

"The mark left by the ghost ship alone is comparable to the dangerous level of a Golden Core."

"What level is the ghost ship then, Nascent Soul?"

Liou Yuan’s recently relaxed expression tightened again.

Anyone being targeted by something of such a level would feel terrified.

Thus thinking, Liou Yuan again looked at the reward for removing the Dark Domain Yin Seal.

"Class A Golden Core inheritance."

Class A, the highest rank of the cultivation technique.

Liou Yuan hasn’t found a Class A Foundation Establishment technique, let alone a Golden Core one.

Not only him, but the entire Cyan Feather Realm probably doesn’t have a technique of that level.

Because removing the Dark Domain Yin Seal grants you Class A Golden Core inheritance, this made Liou Yuan momentarily forget the terror of the ghost ship, his breathing turned rapid.

"Class A Golden Core inheritance! I wonder if the five major Golden Core inheritances left by Ancestor Jing Xuzi in Five Extremes Mountain are Class A!"

"If I get this Golden Core inheritance, my path to Golden Core is hopeful!"

Liou Yuan learned about the five major Golden Core inheritances from Zhao Zhuoran after finishing his Outer Sect training and picking cultivation techniques in the Inner Sect Skill Pavilion.

Five Extremes Mountain founded its sect and stood in Cyan Feather Realm for five thousand years based on those five major Golden Core inheritances.

Moreover, Liou Yuan couldn’t let the ’卍’ mark stay on him forever; after Foundation Establishment he would definitely find a way to remove it.

Combined with the temptation of the reward for removing the Dark Domain Yin Seal, the dread in Liou Yuan’s eyes quickly turned into determination.

"Once I achieve Foundation Establishment, I must find a way to remove it."

"If there’s no way, I’ll go beg the Sect Leader with my elder brother."

Sect Leader Xuanyi is the strongest person Liou Yuan can approach.

With his elder brother, the Patriarch of the Liou Family, appealing on his behalf, Xuanyi wouldn’t easily refuse.

If Xuanyi couldn’t remove it, Liou Yuan felt there were few in Cyan Feather Realm who could, and at that time, he would accept it.

Having made up his mind, Liou Yuan no longer felt tangled and slowly put his discarded clothes back on.

"Now that the Qi Mansion is opened, the Star Acupoint is settled, I’ve passed the two most dangerous checkpoints of Foundation Establishment; what’s next should be easier."

"I just need to spend some time condensing the Qi Mansion via the condensation method from the ’Geng Metal Refining Form Skill,’ then I can formally establish Foundation."

The appearance of the Dark Prison Seal was merely an interlude.

It won’t harm Liou Yuan for now, so pressing on Foundation Establishment remains his urgent task.

Upon this thought, Liou Yuan retracted the scattered Divine Sense back into his body.

With his palm, he skillfully manipulated the Seal Skill, starting to draw the spiritual energy inside the chamber towards his body.
