Mira looked at the recipe in her hands and noticed she only recognized a few items on the list. That wasn't all as Mira was also shocked at just how long the list of ingredients was. It didn't just include herbs, but also various types of tals, beast blood, and beast cores, there were even so things that Mira didn't even know existed!
Like what the hell was a Dao Comprehension Stone?
She also needed things like Phoenix Blood, Golden Empyrean Winged Wolf blood, and various herbs for almost every type of elent she could think of.
Looking at the list of ingredients that definitely exceed over 30, Mira almost coughed up a mouthful of blood just thinking about how much ti she's going to have to spend searching for these obscure ingredients. Even if she were to go through the various trials to try and unlock these ingredients, Mira has no doubt that, at the very least, she's going to spend years trying to get these ingredients!
However, there were 2 things in this recipe that caught Mira's eye. One of them being sothing called 'Orb of Limitless Death and Infinite Life' and the last thing that caught Mira's attention was not an ingredient, but a warning!
It read:
'You have 2 years to gather all of the ingredients and break through to the Core Formation Realm. Should you fail to complete this task within the given ti limit, the recipe will be destroyed and Successor Mira XXXX will have her mory wiped of all knowledge regarding this recipe.
Good Luck.'
,m Now Mira really wanted to curse at not only The Guardian but whatever being created the recipe! So that's what she did!
"Fuck! A ti limit? Are you kidding ?! How am I supposed to gather all this crap?! It'll take a total of two years of just travel ti to find this shit, not to ntion actually getting them? What? You want to go through all these shitty trials just to get a single herb or tal? Fuck you! Who knows how long that'll take?! I might be stuck doing a single trial for months if they are really that hard!"
Mira started cursing out loud, but there was also another thing that didn't fail to escape Mira's attention. It's that Mira's last na was hidden. Actually, it wasn't exactly hidden, it's just Mira couldn't understand what it said nor could she read what was there.
This caused Mira to think of sothing that she's never thought about before…
In all her life, she's never had a last na. Or if she did have a last na, she can't rember it. Even when she spectated all of her various lives after one of the trials, she can't seem to recall any of her past or parallel selves having a last na.
Yet, her first na was always Mira…
That in itself was already weird. To always have the sa na in every reincarnation, in different worlds, in different languages, and even in different tilines.
Her na has always been Mira and has always been pronounced the sa regardless of the language. However, what's even more strange is the lack of a last na. It's not like she was always born in so remote village in a primitive world where last nas weren't a thing. Most worlds she was born in, almost everyone had a last na.
However, Mira can't ever recognize having a last na.
She felt a chill run down her spine, but before her mind could keep wandering, she was interrupted by The Guardian.
"No need to feel too shocked about the items on the recipe. Actually, you have quite a few of the ingredients with you already. I think your friends out there even have a few of the ingredients with them as well. Also, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get the blood of a Phoenix and a Golden Empyrean Winged Wolf. You'll just have to look for the more… obscure… ingredients. And before you ask, no, I won't help you identify those ingredients. I'll leave that up to you. I'll only help you with one of the ingredients."
Before Mira could say anything, the Guardian waved his hand and a Pinkish-blue slab of ice appeared in front of them. Yes, it was the sa slab of ice Mira used to sit on to cultivate not too long ago.
"This slab of ice is actually a small chunk of ice that was carved out of a piece of ice called Immorial Dao Comprehension Ice. Honestly, I have no idea how you actually got your hands on sothing like this. Even if this piece is just a fragnt and can't even begin to compare to the real thing, it's still not sothing that should be in the hands of a Foundation Realm pup. Even Immortals would kill each other for a chance at obtaining a piece of Immorial Dao Comprehension Ice and although you only have a small fragnt that's lost most of its power, it's still not sothing that should appear in the hands of soone like. However, this is also a good thing as the Core you'll be able to form when you break through to the Core Formation Realm will be even better than before and having this thing also reduces the number of 'pain-in-the-ass' ingredients you'd need to fetch by quite a bit."
Mira was quite surprised that The Guardian had such a high opinion of this slab of ice. However, it made sense because even Mira felt like this pinkish-blue slab of ice was quite special.
"I don't think I need to explain the benefits of you sitting on this thing to cultivate, but in case you don't know I'll explain. It boosts your affinity with the ice elent, boosts comprehension speed in both your Dao and any techniques, as long as they are related to the ice elent, boosts your cultivation speed, increases your resistance against the ice elent, and it also prevents any deviations in your cultivation. However, that's not the best part! The best part is these effects will continue to grow the stronger you get! Isn't that insane?! Instead of this thing getting weaker over ti, the effects only grow stronger!"
"If you use sothing this god-like as an ingredient for your Core, your Core will gain all of these properties as well. Not only that, but using the other ingredients on the list to help form your Core, it'll turn into sothing that even the real Immorial Dao Comprehension Ice could only dream of becoming!"
Now, Mira was shocked to the point that she didn't even know what to say. Wouldn't her potential basically be unlimited if she gathered all of the ingredients on this list and used them to form her Core?
Forget becoming an Immortal, wouldn't she be able to turn into a God, or in her case, a Goddess of Ice if she continued down this path? Maybe one day she'll get strong enough where she can even beat the shit out of the guy in front of her! How great would that be?!
"Hey!!! How dare you think about beating up?! What did I ever do to you?! I've only ever given you good things and this is how you repay ?!"
The Guardian felt his lips twitching as he read Mira's mind. Not only was she dreaming of becoming a Goddess, but she was also dreaming of ruining his beautiful face! He could even see scenes going on in her mind of her pushing his face into the dirt as she dug her heels into the back of his head!
He imdiately stopped digging through her mind as he saw more and more scenes of Mira turning him into an ice statue or Mira using him as a test dummy for her ice powers.
He knew this was Mira's way of telling him to stop going through her mind.
"Alright! That's enough with this prize! On to the next one!"
He snapped his fingers and brought Mira to what looked like an arena.
"There are only a few more rewards that are available to you right now and I think you'll find this one the most fascinating! I like to call it 'The Abyssal Battle Ladder', but in reality it's nothing more than an arena where your opponents get stronger the more you defeat. However, there are a few key things that make this place special."
"First of all, this place is based on your cultivation and whenever you have any sort of breakthrough in your cultivation, then your progress will reset."
"Second, there is no limit to the number of stages you can complete. How far you progress will be entirely dependent on your combat prowess. I will warn you though that at so point you will hit a wall that can't be overco with skill."
"Thirdly, you can earn points here by winning battles here. These points can be used to purchase almost anything and everything Firmant of Limitless Death and Infinite Life has to offer. You want an herb? You can use points to acquire it! You want to increase the Ti Dilation in the Infinite Garden? Just use your points! Now, you can also go through the specific trials in order to unlock whatever it is you need, but this is a much more direct way and you won't have to waste your ti doing sothing so annoying."
"The points you earn also increase exponentially depending on how many stages you can win. So for example, if you win 5 stages, you'd earn 62 points! 2 points for the First Stage, 4 points for the Second Stage, 8 points for the Third, and so on."
"Lastly, you get to keep your points even after your breakthrough and the Abyssal Battle Ladder resets. However, do keep in mind that the number of points you'll be earning will reset as well."
Mira's eyes lit up as she listened to the Guardian explain the specifics of this arena!
