Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 171 - Ruyi Pagoda

Chapter 171: Ruyi PaG.o.da

Wei Huo had to go into seclusion for five years. This kind of seclusion was not what everyone thought it was. He would not lock himself in a cave and not eat or drink for five years. He would not focus on his cultivation and come out after five years.

That was not the case. Wei Huo only planned to spend five years to cultivate the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill, break through the tower, and master the bronze cauldron. He would then refine a magical weapon that belonged to him.

Wei Huo’s realm was the Legendary realm mentioned by the Naga. It was also the Legendary Golden Core realm. The Golden Core did not refer to the Golden Core realm in novels. Instead, it referred to the perfection of a person’s spirit. One’s path was already determined. There were no flaws in one’s emotions or spirit, which were identical both inside and outside. It was a spiritual fusion.

This state was like a Golden Core. It was round, s.h.i.+ny, and flawless. It had the most perfect spherical shape.

It would not be a problem if one used Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation to explain it. However, it was very difficult to improve one’s realm. Not only did one need to acc.u.mulate insight for a long time, but more importantly, one needed an epiphany!

Without sufficient knowledge and experience, without enough life-and-death tests, one would not be able to obtain a strong spirit without mental cultivation and physical training. If one did not comprehend this, one would not have a perfect spirit.

Previously, Wei Huo had only used the system to train his Qi for over 100 years. In the end, he had still been at the Normal level. His soul had not become stronger. He had only been able to make a small difference during the Qi-Training process. He had not cultivated seriously at all. He had only made the necessary poses and the system had given him an extended lifespan.

That was all. If he had not experienced so much and witnessed life-and-death situations, thus enriching his life, how could his soul’s strength have increased?

One had to know that the Qi Method had existed before the time halt. However, who could obtain 500 years of lifespan by practicing for 100 years?

It would be good if one could obtain more than 10 years after training for 100 years.

Cultivation was not just about training. One had to purify one’s heart and gain enlightenment. Otherwise, one’s strength would not increase.

Wei Huo had to focus on cultivating the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill. To be specific, the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill was known as ‘low-temperature stillness’. Not only could low-temperature stillness freeze one’s soul, but it could also strengthen it. Most importantly, this skill had the same effect as a low-temperature hibernation chamber. It could temporarily pause one’s ‘time’ and allow one to travel across the long pa.s.sage of history to the future.

If he mastered this move and no one around him found a way to extend their lifespan, he could freeze time for himself by using the low temperature and stagflation method. He could only unfreeze time when he found a way to extend his lifespan.

At the same time, Wei Huo could find an Immortal Tomb or a Dragon Vein when he was about to die. He could freeze himself and wait for a long time before unfreezing himself.

Five years was not considered a long time in Wei Huo’s opinion. In the blink of an eye, five years had pa.s.sed. Wei Huo had first practiced the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill to the first level, which had made his domain colder.

He had gone to the tower every month in the past five years. However, he had only obtained 20 level beads. No matter how hard he tried, the tower would not reward him with level beads. It seemed like 20 was the upper limit.

In the past five years, Wei Huo had mastered the usage of the bronze cauldron. He then used Mithril and the tiny bit of gold he had obtained to refine a flying sword.

In reality, after reaching the imposing field level, he had the ability to control objects. However, Wei Huo had never found a good magical weapon that could be used to kill enemies. Now that he had personally made a flying sword, like the Naga’s Great Ancestor, he could control his weapon and fly out to cut each enemy’s head.

However, Wei Huo’s sword was not considered a flying sword. It was more like a short sword. The sword was only as long as half an arm and was made of Mithril. It had also been refined using the Dark Yin Ice Soul Skill, which caused the sword to glow coldly and emit a chill from time to time.

Wei Huo had obtained a Cold Light Sword.

The tip of the sword was made from the vibrating gold that Wei Huo had obtained by chance. Fortunately, he had reached the Domain level. Otherwise, he would not have been able to refine gold into a sword tip.

After the Cold Light Sword was completed, Wei Huo branded it with his Divine Sense. That way, he could use his Divine Sense to control the sword and make it fly thousands of meters away.

In the past five years, Wei Huo’s level had been upgraded to Level 70. It was getting harder and harder to level up. Wei Huo believed that it was difficult for the other players as well. Just like in any other game, newbies had advantages, but no matter how many benefits they had, they could not catch up to the top players. Wei Huo was still ahead.

Over the past five years, more and more traveling merchants had arrived. The rumors about the three super cities of the Dragon-Soaring Continent had also reached Wei Huo’s ears. It was said that the three super cities had been built like steel fortresses. Unless an Epic-ranked beast attacked them, it would be impossible to break through their defense.

Due to the special characteristics of the golden light, many large cities were protected. It would be best if this city was also a safe zone.

Wei Huo thought about it carefully. After obtaining the Ruyi PaG.o.da and exploring the tomb, it was time for him to return to human society!

Wei Sha had woken up from the ice seal and her strength had risen to the Rare rank. However, System Number Two was still sleeping. He did not know when it would wake up.

On the first day of the fifth year, Wei Huo walked into the Naga’s steeple again. 15 days later, he walked out with a nine-story tower in his hand.

He was initially happy about obtaining this treasure after successfully charging into the tower, but Wei Huo was also a little speechless. The Ruyi PaG.o.da was just like the incubation system. It was a little mischievous.

‘Ruyi PaG.o.da: Epic stage. There are nine levels in total. The wielder can set the checkpoint of each level on their own. The wielder can also choose to have the guardian and monsters guard each level. Only creatures with no resistance can be recruited. If a creature successfully breaks through the tower, it will be released.’

He could change the Ruyi PaG.o.da’s name. The current names he could choose from were Ivory PaG.o.da, Lolita, and Anta[1].

‘Note: Collecting too many creatures of the same species will change the name, appearance, and nature of the tower.’

‘Note: The Ruyi PaG.o.da is currently at Level One. It will level up after taking down 10 Epic-ranked creatures.’

Wei Huo was speechless as he held the Ruyi PaG.o.da. It was indeed Epic-ranked equipment. It could actually grow. It could change the name and appearance of the tower as it suppressed different creatures. Most importantly, it could level up. However…

What was a Lolita?

What was an Anta? Something that never stopped?

After obtaining the Ruyi PaG.o.da, Wei Huo had collected enough Dragon Qi in the Dragon Lock Well. The Dragon Qi was not a living creature, so the Ruyi PaG.o.da’s name did not change.

Wei Huo returned to the crowd of Naga and found the Naga’s Fengshui Master.

It was finally time for the tomb to open!

[1] -ta in Chinese means paG.o.da.
