Chapter 770: The Power of the Magical Artifact

A torrent of information flooded into Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness in an instant.

Were it not for his unyielding will and formidable mental strength, he would have been overwhelmed by the deluge of information, potentially fainting on the spot or even losing his sanity.

The reason was straightforward: the Wujimen Mirror was a third-tier magical artifact. Even though it had lost its spiritual energy, the faint destructive power it emitted was still terrifying to an ordinary mortal.

And Wang Chen, at this stage, still belonged to the realm of mortals!

However, unlike other mortals in this world, he had extensive experience with such situations and managed to endure it fully.

The vast and chaotic information that surged into Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness quickly coalesced into lines of text, deeply etching themselves into his memory.

These texts were entirely composed of true seal characters!

Wang Chen was left speechless.

According to Shao Hongcheng, the Wujimen Mirror could only be opened after one had condensed true energy.

Shao Hongcheng had yet to break through to the Post-natal Great Realm, and thus, the Wujimen Mirror had remained dormant in his hands for decades.

In fact, even if he were to ascend to the Acquired Level, he might still be unable to activate the Wujimen Mirror.

This was because the mirror had nearly lost all its spiritual essence!

Moreover, he might not even recognize the true seal characters.

Shaking his head, Wang Chen began to organize the memories he had just acquired.

The information sealed within the Wujimen Mirror consisted of the middle and lower sections of the Wujixuan Skill, along with the refined and controlling methods of this magical artifact.

The latter was of no immediate use to him.

After a quick perusal, Wang Chen realized that the Wujixuan Skill was far more profound than he had imagined; it could be considered an exquisite cultivation method even in the Haotian Realm.

The middle and lower sections of the Wujixuan Skill were several times more complex and profound than the upper part. The middle section dealt with the condensation, control, and enhancement of true energy, with the highest cultivation achievable being at the innate level.

The lower section directly corresponded to the extraordinary state beyond the innate level, which was the realm of cultivators!

True energy would transform into true essence, nourishing and cultivating to harness the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, thus unleashing the ability to move mountains and fill seas!

Wang Chen suspected that the Wujixuan Skill originated from a Nascent Soul true immortal who had arrived in the Misty Mountains Realm.

Or perhaps a beast king.

This extraordinary practitioner founded the Wujimen and left behind a legacy in this world.

Unfortunately, by the time it reached Shao Hongcheng, it was nearly on the verge of extinction!

It was likely that Shao Hongcheng himself did not realize how powerful the Wujixuan Skill he cultivated truly was!

But without the right opportunity, this benefactor of Wang Chen would remain stuck at the Acquired Level.

With the follow-up techniques of the Wujixuan Skill, Wang Chen’s chances of breaking through to the innate level within a month greatly increased.

The only thing he lacked was the resources needed for cultivation.

For three consecutive days, Wang Chen secluded himself in deep cultivation, fully immersing himself in the methods of the middle section of the Wujixuan Skill.

For others, mastering these techniques might be an arduous task, as the middle section involved many concepts and knowledge from the world of cultivation that were impossible to grasp without proper understanding.

However, Wang Chen faced no such difficulties; in fact, he achieved entry-level comprehension by the second day.

【Name: Wang Chen (Chen Er Gou)

【Age: 16】

【Cultivation Level: Acquired】

【Technique: Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method (third level): 27/300】

【Skill: Wujixuan Skill (upper) (advanced level): 1/400】

【Skill: Wujixuan Skill (middle) (entry-level): 5/100】

【Skill: Bone Refinement and Blood Burning Technique (perfect mastery)】

【Qi and Blood: 0】

Interestingly, this technique was displayed in two parts on the unique abilities panel.

Wang Chen speculated that once he mastered the lower section, the three would merge into one.

However, Wang Chen’s biggest problem remained the issue of cultivation resources.

True energy did not appear out of thin air; it was derived from one’s Qi and blood.

If his Qi and blood were depleted, he would need to replenish them!

Through food!

Just as Wang Chen was considering whether to venture into the foggy area to hunt fierce beasts, Shao Hongcheng suddenly arrived at his residence, looking hurried as he said, “Junior brother, pack your things. I’m taking you somewhere!”

Though Wang Chen was puzzled, he trusted that Shao Hongcheng meant him no harm, so he quickly gathered his belongings and followed him out.

A carriage was already waiting at the entrance of the martial arts school.

Once inside the carriage, Shao Hongcheng spoke in a deep voice, “Junior brother, there are many people keeping an eye on the Hongyi Martial Arts School lately. It’s no longer safe for you to stay here, so I’ve arranged another place for you.”

If Wang Chen were still at the Marrow Refinement level, Shao Hongcheng would never have allowed him to leave the Hongyi Martial Arts School.

Within the martial arts school, he could still protect Wang Chen.

Now, however, the situation had reversed. If Wang Chen stayed, the Hongyi Martial Arts School would become a burden, hindering his cultivation.

An acquired martial artist is indeed powerful, but Chibi City is home to more than one or two such individuals. Moreover, while it is easy to dodge an open attack, hidden schemes are far harder to guard against. Shao Hongcheng couldn’t predict what tricks his enemies might employ.

Most importantly, the martial arts school was crowded, and many disciples had paid to study martial arts. Expecting them to keep secrets was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

After much deliberation, Shao Hongcheng decided to relocate Wang Chen.

Wang Chen had no objections to this arrangement.

The carriage wound its way through the city streets for nearly half an hour before finally stopping in front of a modest courtyard.

The location was remote, far from the bustling main streets, and the house itself was plain and unremarkable.

To provide Wang Chen with a stable environment for cultivation, Shao Hongcheng had gone to great lengths.

The house was staffed with two maids, tasked with tending to Wang Chen’s daily needs—cooking, making the bed, and other chores.

The two girls were orphans Shao Hongcheng had purchased years ago and trained meticulously, ensuring their loyalty was beyond question.

Once Wang Chen was settled, Shao Hongcheng handed him a copper token.

With this token, Wang Chen could freely enter and exit Chibi City, including venturing outside to hunt fierce beasts, without being subjected to inquiries.

This was exactly what Wang Chen needed!

Shao Hongcheng had arrived in a hurry and left just as swiftly, clearly under significant pressure.

Wang Chen didn’t ask many questions but silently resolved in his heart to repay this kindness in the future with wealth and prosperity.

The day after moving into his new residence, Wang Chen left to hunt fierce beasts outside the city.

He headed toward the mountains behind Chibi City.

These mountains rose majestically into the clouds, their grandeur partially obscured by mist.

Deep within their depths, countless fierce beasts and prey lay hidden.

Armed with the long knife and arrows from the Wujimen secret vault, Wang Chen set out on his hunting journey without fear.

This time, however, Wang Chen did not leave markers at intervals as he had done before.

After successfully activating the Wujimen Mirror, he had established a subtle spiritual connection with this magical artifact.

Wang Chen had hidden the Wujimen Mirror in a secret place within his residence. Now, even as he ventured into the mountains beyond Chibi City, he could still sense the artifact’s presence clearly.

This connection was far more reliable than any trail of markers or maps!
