The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1759 - 1755 Great Dao Principles

Shen Luo carefully put away each of the magical treasures, inspecting the other things within several storage magical tools, and soon a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan truly lived up to its reputation as a great clan passed down since ancient times, with abundant resources. Each of these storage magical tools was worth a fortune, especially the storage magical tool of Chief Strategist You Su, containing over hundreds of thousands of immortal jade alone.

In the earlier great battle, to activate the power of Destruction Mingwang, more than a hundred thousand immortal jade were consumed, front and back, but now it has all been replenished, with a huge surplus as well.

As for other precious materials, there were extremely many. Shen Luo did not care much for ordinary materials, but one thing surprised him delightfully.

With a flick of his sleeve, a purple crystal stone about the size of a human head, inscribed with many mysterious thunderbolt-like patterns, exuded an ancient aura.

"I didn’t expect to find such a large piece of Immortal Spirit Thunderstone here; now there’s hope for repairing the Hammer of Thor." Shen Luo’s eyes sparkled with delight.

The Hammer of Thor had been broken by the Hongming Saber earlier, and due to the lack of suitable materials, it had never been repaired. The Immortal Spirit Thunderstone and the Hammer of Thor share the same origin, making it the best material for repairing this treasure.

"Immortal Spirit Thunderstone! This is a celestial stone unique to the Heavenly Realm, collected by a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers dispatched by the Heavenly Court tens of thousands of years ago to forge the Heavenly Punishment Platform. Since then, it rarely remains in the world; who would have thought there would be a piece here!" Fire Spirit Child remarked, clicking his tongue at the aura of the Immortal Spirit Thunderstone.

"What kind of place is the Heavenly Punishment Platform?" Shen Luo asked.

"The Heavenly Punishment Platform is a mysterious location of the Heavenly Court, capable of gathering the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, and releasing it at specific times, like the power of the Thunder Tribulation that descends when a lower realm monk breaks through to the True Immortal Stage, it originates from the Heavenly Punishment Platform," Fire Spirit Child explained.

"I didn’t realize the Heavenly Court had such wondrous places." Shen Luo showed a surprised expression.

"As much as I hate to admit it, the Heavenly Court is indeed the most wondrous place among the Three Realms, a place where the Heavenly Dao converges. In the future, if you have the chance, you can go there more and take a look; it could greatly benefit your cultivation," Fire Spirit Child said.

Having heard this, Shen Luo suddenly developed a bit of curiosity about the Heavenly Court, but soon he refocused, looking at the Immortal Spirit Thunderstone in his hand.

"Fire Daoist friend, are you confident in using this thunderstone to repair the Hammer of Thor?" he asked.

"I have thoroughly researched the Hammer of Thor during this time. The hammer was broken by the Hongming Saber because that saber is too sharp, but the internal prohibition of the Hammer of Thor isn’t severely damaged. If I had top-quality lightning attribute spiritual materials, I would have already repaired it. Now with this piece of Immortal Spirit Thunderstone, repairing this treasure is a cinch," Fire Spirit Child confidently assured.

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Fire Daoist friend." Shen Luo sent the Immortal Spirit Thunderstone into the Free and Easy Mirror.

Just as he was about to withdraw his divine sense, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Fire Daoist friend, earlier you mentioned the Hongming Saber. After consecutively slaying several people in the previous great battle, its power suddenly increased dramatically, emitting attacks far beyond normal, but after one strike, it returned to its usual state. Why is that?"

"Is that so? Let me take a look at the Hongming Saber." Fire Spirit Child’s tone carried a hint of surprise, and he said.

Shen Luo sent the Hongming Saber into the Free and Easy Mirror, and Fire Spirit Child received the saber and began a meticulous inspection.

Seeing that it wouldn’t end quickly, Shen Luo continued to examine the few storage magical tools in his hand.

By the time he finished his inspection, Fire Spirit Child had also finished checking.

"Haha, so that’s it, I understand now! It turns out that the prohibition Emperor Xuanyuan set up back then was like this, seems like the old man couldn’t bear to destroy such a treasure sword." Fire Spirit Child laughed heartily and then sighed.

"What exactly is going on? Don’t just sit there sighing to yourself, explain it to me too," Shen Luo transmitted his voice to ask.

"This is a long story, and it has to start with Immortal Artifacts. You should remember I mentioned to you before that the Hongming Saber can devour the essence blood and souls of the slain to constantly enhance its power, correct?" Fire Spirit Child said.

"Of course, I remember." As he heard the matter concerning Immortal Artifacts, Shen Luo’s eyes flashed with peculiar brilliance, and he nodded.

"Then do you know what an Immortal Artifact is?" Fire Spirit Child asked in return.

"This... I’m not quite sure, I only know that Immortal Artifacts surpass the existence of magical treasures." Shen Luo was puzzled as to why Fire Spirit Child turned the topic to this, but he still answered.

"And do you know how to elevate a magical treasure to an Immortal Artifact?" Fire Spirit Child continued to ask.

"Why are you rambling on about these things?" Shen Luo said with some impatience.

"These matters are closely related to the explanation I need to give you; without understanding these, even if I said the reason for the Hongming Saber’s alteration, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend it," Fire Spirit Child said.

"Regarding the process of a magical treasure ascending to an Immortal Artifact, I’m not very clear either, I only know that in order to elevate a magical treasure to an Immortal Artifact, it’s required to integrate the sixty-four layers of prohibition within the treasure into one, and this was something you told me," Shen Luo said after a moment of silence.

"Correct, actually, the reason for integrating the prohibitions within the magical treasure is to allow the treasure to more conveniently birth the principles of the Great Dao," Fire Spirit Child said.

"The principles of the Great Dao?" Shen Luo’s gaze flickered.

"The so-called principles of the Great Dao refer to the profoundness contained within all things between heaven and earth. Comprehending even a sliver of it, whether it’s for our monks’ cultivation or for infusion into a magical treasure, the benefits are unimaginably massive. Actually, Immortal Artifacts are magical treasures that contain the principles of the Great Dao." Fire Spirit Child’s eyes gleamed with a longing expression as he spoke.

"According to what you say, the Hongming Saber is an Immortal Artifact, and its ability to devour the essence blood and souls of living beings to grow is the divine power of the Great Dao Principles contained within it?" Shen Luo pondered for a moment and then said.

"You aren’t dim-witted after all! Exactly so, such vile Great Dao Principles are exceedingly rare. From ancient times till now, few Immortal Artifacts can compare with it. If left unchecked, once the Hongming Saber’s power breaches a certain limit, it would develop spiritual wisdom, possibly even transforming, and becoming an extraordinarily fierce demon saber." Fire Spirit Child said.

"If that’s the case, it indeed is troublesome. However, what kind of prohibition did Emperor Xuanyuan cast inside the Hongming Saber? Please spit it out instead of teasing me like a storyteller," Shen Luo said.

"No patience at all, huh? I don’t know what kind of prohibition Emperor Xuanyuan placed in the Hongming Saber either, but I only know that this prohibition only sealed the core essence of the Hongming Saber, yet didn’t seal this saber’s Great Dao Principles. Currently, the Hongming Saber still retains its ability to devour others’ essence blood and souls, but this blood soul power can’t truly merge into the core essence of the saber; it can only be stored inside the blade, to be unleashed when activated — the more blood soul power accumulated, the more potent the attack." Fire Spirit Child rolled his eyes but still explained.

"So that’s how it is, why did Emperor Xuanyuan make such complications? Wouldn’t it be safer just to completely seal this saber?" Shen Luo nodded slightly, then said.
