Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Lu Wenwu thought for a moment but didn’t come to any conclusions.

Well, it’s true; he’s not really cut out for reasoning or sociology.

It’s better not to dwell too much on these things.

Thinking this to himself, Lu Wenwu slightly waved his hand, and the dilapidated temple doors opened on their own.

Perhaps due to years of neglect, even with the nurturing of Spiritual Qi and remnants of past formations, these ancient objects, existing for countless millennia, were as fragile as flickering candles in the wind.

The two faded light red doors shattered in unison, scattering like dandelions blown in the breeze, with decaying wood chips falling everywhere.

Hiss...

Upon hearing the explosion of the doors, several future mythological archaeologists shuddered, gasping sharply.

My dear ancestors!

Please be gentle!

This is a well-preserved Temple of Dao Fire True Monarch from the Mythical Era!

A few university students were heartbroken, to the point they could hardly breathe.

But because of Lu Wenwu’s identity as the ”Path-Opening Ancestor,”... they didn’t dare to speak up, so they could only look on with pained expressions.

Noticing the students’ heartache, Lu Wenwu gave them a helpless look and explained on his behalf, ”You can’t blame me; even built with Spiritual Materials, if not maintained for so many years, it will still decay.”

”No, not at all, just do as you please, you don’t have to mind us.” Gu Taixing quickly said.

Lu Wenwu shrugged, indifferent to this.

The furnishings inside the temple were quite simple, unlike the luxurious and intricate temples in scenic spots that Lu Wenwu had in mind.

Inside, apart from a divine statue about three meters tall and plaques on the altar table, there was only a couplet so weathered that the characters were indecipherable.

The material of this divine statue was unknown, yet it remained lifelike till this day, exuding a fiery majesty mixed with a touch of benevolence.

Lu Wenwu scanned it with the Eye of Insight, finding nothing special.

It was just an ordinary divine statue once nourished by Spiritual Power, containing a trace of the Split Soul of Dao Fire True Monarch, likely used in the past for communication and decrees.

Almost all objects inside the room now had no Energy fluctuation left.

Perhaps some items that looked like priest’s offerings were once powerful Magical Artifacts, but with the passage of time, they turned into ordinary items.

Hmm...

If sold as artifacts, they might be quite valuable.

For the first time, a few university students had entered such a newly ”unearthed” and relatively well-preserved ancient temple, and seemed very excited.

After turning off the phone’s flashlight, Gu Taixing started taking pictures frantically while excitedly discussing with the others, estimating the origin and age of this temple based on what they had learned.

Lu Wenwu stepped forward, politely greeting the divine statue.

Then he reached out and pulled out the three large incense sticks stuck in the incense burner on the altar table.

These three sticks were still intact, never having been lit.

The incense sticks were at least the thickness of a pinky finger, half a meter long, and a deep red through and through, subtly emitting a refreshing fragrance.

[God-Inviting Soul-Nourishing Incense (D)]: 39/50

[Current Status]: Spirituality Lost, Effect Reduced

Was this actually an Extraordinary item?

Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow.

The Power fluctuations he sensed earlier were exactly from these three sticks of incense.

”Sorry, there’s no treasure here you’re hoping to find.” Lu Wenwu said, holding the three sticks of incense. ”As you can see, apart from these three sticks of God-Inviting Soul-Nourishing Incense, everything else is just ordinary items, which might fetch a good price if sold.”

”Selling them!? Absolutely not! Keeping them in the hands of so-called collectors is pure waste!” Yan Chao exclaimed excitedly, ”Elder, this is the first time we’ve found a Dao Fire True Monarch divine statue so well-preserved. The craftsmanship, the material, it’s invincible!”

”It’s up to you, it’s your freedom, anyway these things are useless to me.” Lu Wenwu nodded slightly.

Spotting the key point, Qian Qian stepped forward, curiously asking Lu Wenwu while looking at the three incense sticks in his hand, ”Elder, I heard you mentioned earlier that the name of these three incense sticks is God-Inviting Soul-Nourishing Incense? Do they have any special effects? We’ve never come across their name in the books.”

”It’s probably used to communicate with Immortal Gods, with a side effect of enhancing the soul?” Lu Wenwu speculated uncertainly, ”You know, I’m not well-versed in this kind of stuff.”

Xu Qiao couldn’t help but sigh, ”God-Inviting Soul-Nourishing Incense... I really want to return to school quickly and research the effects of these three sticks of incense. Offerings used for Ancient True Monarchs must be precious.”

”That’s easy enough, just try them.

Lu Wenwu said as he snapped his right fingers.

Instantly, three golden flames flickering with sunlight’s radiance ignited at the tops of the God-Inviting Soul-Nourishing Incense, burning them shallowly gray.

An exotic fragrance instantly diffused.

The three incense sticks released a pure white mist, spreading continuously in all directions.

Amazed and bewildered, several individuals instinctively inhaled, immediately feeling their thoughts becoming active, minds opened up, and even their brains, fogged from prolonged fatigue, were relaxed and clear.

The comfort akin to soaking in an ice bath on a scorching day gradually spread throughout the whole body.

The ordinary university students like Gu Taixing, with no Cultivation at all, couldn’t resist this wondrous effect on their souls, and one by one, they fell to the ground, sleeping soundly without a care for their image.
