I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 423: Chapter 322: Purification, Transformation, Departure

Han Zhan’s entire body was enveloped in a faint golden glow, appearing sacred and beyond the mundane.

Inside him, the golden spiritual power washed through repeatedly, broadening and fortifying his meridians and making his bones even more indestructible.

The five Great Ruins absorbed and exhaled in unison, clouds rising, creating a magnificent spectacle.

It’s hard to imagine, if the remaining three Great Ruins were also discovered and opened, with all eight Ruins refining and cleansing the body, what kind of grand scene that would be and what kind of enhancement it would bring to Han Zhan.

The Taixu Return Collection, after all, is a Demon God Technique.

Perhaps, when all the hidden Great Ruins within the body are developed, he could truly reach heights comparable to a deity!

”Though I am currently at the Tier Seven Realm, with five Great Ruins simultaneously absorbing spiritual power from the outside world, my cultivation speed is at least a hundred times faster than before. It won’t be long before I reach Tier Seven Peak.”

”After Tier Seven Peak is Tier Eight, with the foundation laid by the Tier Nine Celestial Serpent and Tier Nine Sword Remains, breaking through Tier Eight will have no bottleneck.”

”The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Origin in the Fruit World of the Wilderness of Zhulu is much more abundant than on Blue Star. I can completely break through here.”

”Then comes the increase in power.”

As Han Zhan murmured to himself, he glanced down at his hands.

With a slight thought, the ancient and graceful Guqin appeared in his hands.

Then, like magic, the Shennong Cauldron, Nuwa Stone, and Kunlun Mirror all appeared before him one by one.

Though temporarily unable to summon the Xuanyuan Sword, the Four Great Divine Soldiers awakened before Han Zhan, lined up in a row.

With a wave of his hand, these four Divine Soldiers began to slowly rotate around him, freely emitting their unique radiance.

”Simultaneously gathering the four Divine Soldiers is no longer difficult for me now.”

”The pale golden spiritual power not only endures consumption better than ordinary spiritual power, but with the five Great Ruins operating inside, the speed of absorbing and refining spiritual power keeps pace with the consumption rate of the four Divine Soldiers!”

Upon reaching this conclusion, Han Zhan’s spirits lifted.

There was a time when he could use the Void Origin, relying on its ability to devour energy bricks, to achieve the impressive feat of bringing forth the four Divine Soldiers at once.

At that time, he relied on external forces.

However, now, the five Great Ruins of the Taixu Return Collection allowed him, for the first time, to awaken all four Divine Soldiers solely through his strength!

Han Zhan’s current combat power can absolutely rival Tier Eight!

And once he truly breaks through to Tier Eight, even seasoned powerhouses at Tier Eight Peak may not be his match.

On the path of the strong, Han Zhan took another significant step forward.

The higher he ascended, the more arduous the journey became.

Through the matters of the Taixu Return Collection and the Eight Urgent Fist Technique, he understood one thing more deeply:

Why did the other great forces fear the teacher so much, and why did they repeatedly attempt to besiege the teacher?

Because teacher Li Shutong is a genius.

Not just the kind of genius people talk about, but an absolute genius even among geniuses!

”The Taixu Return Collection is a Demon God Technique. The people within the Fruit World could not fathom it, and even someone as strong as Chi You could not cultivate it, yet the teacher was able to deduce a simplified version of the Eight Urgent Fist Technique through a fragmented text obtained from the ruins.”

”If the teacher hadn’t died, given more time, he would have definitely achieved transcendence. No one doubts this.”

”Once the teacher achieved transcendence, then, Blue Star would definitely undergo a complete reshuffle, which the great powers did not want to see.”

The teacher, even though he lived past a hundred years, it was still too short.

If given more time for growth, his heights would be limitless.

Looking again at those forces,

the old ancestor Shang Jianyue of the Can Shang Company, the leader Dream Demon Frog of the Longevity Company, each of them an old monster competing in preparation and foundation?

Compared to them, teacher Li Shutong had much less time to grow.

”However, after the teacher’s departure, the heavy burden now falls upon me.”

”My growth speed isn’t slower than the teacher’s, perhaps even more astounding.”

There’s no doubt, and it’s not Han Zhan boasting himself.

Who can, like him, ascend from Tier Seven, almost breaking through to Tier Eight in just over a year as if riding a rocket?

Han Zhan is certain that he will definitely replace the teacher as the new thorn in the side of the great powers.

This realization made him feel a sense of urgency.

Only by becoming stronger and leading Great Xia North County further, will he not fear the prying and plotting of the great powers.

Thinking this, Han Zhan refocused his attention on the beast hide scroll before him.

The Taixu Return Collection Cultivation Technique was already familiar to him.

As for why no one in the Jiuli Race could successfully develop the hidden Great Ruins within their bodies, he had his own suspicions.

”Jiuli Clan People are different from ordinary people, they have Demon God and Witch God blood flowing through their veins, and their physical qualities surpass the norm.”

”The Taixu Return Collection is a cultivation technique exploring the body’s secrets, and the stronger the physical qualities, the larger the hidden secrets are, making complete development incredibly more difficult.”

”The stronger the Jiuli, the harder it is to develop their secrets. Those who aren’t strong enough don’t need to develop them.”

Thus, the Taixu Return Collection technique now sits unused.

However, even if the Jiuli cannot successfully cultivate the Taixu Return Collection, with the Demon God Bloodline already flowing within and their means of transforming their bodies, it’s more than enough for them.

Han Zhan dispelled these thoughts, deactivating the awakening of the Four Divine Soldiers.

He sat cross-legged on the bed again, gradually replenishing the consumed golden spiritual power through the operation of the Taixu Return Collection, enhancing his realm.

...

When Han Zhan opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

A knock sounded on the door, Li Wu’s voice appeared outside.

”Han Zhan, Han Zhan? Han...”

Before he could finish speaking, the door opened.

Li Wu’s knocking hand halted in mid-air, and he scratched his head a bit awkwardly.

”Opening the door so fast?”

Li Wu muttered, then looked at Han Zhan who just walked out the door.

At a glance, he felt a bit disoriented.

How did Han Zhan, after just one night, seem like a different person?

But when asked where he changed, Li Wu couldn’t pinpoint it, only feeling it vaguely.

Unable to understand, he chose not to dwell on it.

Li Wu shook his head, discarding the idea of trying to figure Han Zhan out with his limited understanding since even the High Priest couldn’t see through him.

”What did you come to me for?” Han Zhan asked, seeing Li Wu lingering without speaking.

”The High Priest has given the mission, we can set off.”

Reminded by Han Zhan, Li Wu remembered the main business for which he came seeking him.

Saying this, he waved the beast hide he held in his hand.
