Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Lifebound Magic Treasure (Part 1)
Ti seed to freeze at this mont.
A giant palm carrying an unmatched might was about to clasps the magical treasure flying warship within its fingers.
The cultivator ambushing Wang Chen was clearly no ordinary Golden Core True Person, his technique “Control Heaven and Earth” had evidently reached an extrely high realm.
Without any fancy maneuvers, he completely relied on his powerful cultivation realm to press down on Wang Chen with no chance of resistance.
He left him utterly powerless to fight back!
However, just as the Golden Core cultivator was about to grasp the flying warship, a narrow rift suddenly tore open in the sky ten miles away, and from it burst a sword light of dazzling brilliance.
It instantly cleaved through the giant palm!
“Ah!”
A piercing scream erupted abruptly, and a thunderous roar of shock and anger exploded, “Yan Wushuang!”
Inside the flying warship, Wang Chen’s mind and spirit abruptly relaxed, and he regained his ability to move.
Yan Wushuang was Long River True Person’s real na.
The last talisman Wang Chen had activated was precisely to call for help from his ntor!
Long River True Person’s physical body was still within the Western Sea Sect Mountain Gate, but with the precision location of this treasure talisman, he delivered a heavy blow to the assailant through space.
And it freed Wang Chen from his perilous situation.
The Golden Core cultivator, having lost a palm, was furious to the extre, but did not lose his reason. Before his voice fell, he transford into a streak of light and vanished without a trace.
He suffered a significant loss.
Just to deal with Wang Chen, a minor Purple Mansion cultivator, he ended up sacrificing a palm.
It is well known that limbs are extrely important to cultivators; once they suffer damage, it becos exceedingly difficult to breakthrough to a greater realm.
The higher the cultivation level, the heavier the loss.
Although there are ways to recover, once at the Golden Core stage, the newly regrown limbs can never compare to the original ones, and might beco a fatal weakness at so critical mont.
Long River True Person’s sword had, in effect, removed at least half of the opponent’s Dao fortune!
But as enraged as he was, he did not dare to stay and seek revenge—better to have green mountains under which one can keep from worrying about firewood, staying alive is always better than losing one’s life.
The next mont, a strong pulling force erged from the space rift, wrapped around Wang Chen’s magical treasure flying warship with a sudden tug, and the latter was imdiately pulled into the rift.
Wang Chen felt the world spinning around, as if thrown into a massive vortex, losing all control.
But this sensation lasted rely a mont; when he ca to his senses, he was astounded to find himself atop Boat Leaf Peak on Long River Island, with the shrunken magical treasure flying warship hovering quietly before him.
Above the cloud platform, Long River True Person sat cross-legged in a white robe.
Wang Chen hurriedly perford a salute, saying, “Thank you, Master, for saving this disciple’s life!”
“There is no need for formalities.”
Long River True Person said with a smile, “As a master, it is my duty to protect my disciples. If you were to lose your life on this mission representing our sect and lineage to the Western Region, where would my face as your teacher be?”
Wang Chen said with a wry smile, “Disciple truly did not expect the Buddhist Sect to be so shaless!”
A high-tier Golden Core setting an ambush for a mid-tier Purple Mansion practitioner—it was utterly without bottom line!
Originally, Wang Chen had the protection of the magical treasure flying warship, and with two treasure talismans bestowed by Long River True Person, he could escape from a primary-tier Golden Core even if defeated. He had not expected to encounter a high-tier Golden Core!
Fortunately, Long River True Person had anticipated this possibility and had given him another life-saving talisman.
“They won’t admit to it,”
Long River True Person said leisurely, “The one who made the move was Qiu Jianshan, who has quite a history with our West Sea Sect.”
This senior Golden Core is currently a Loose Cultivator, but before solidifying his pill, he was an Inner Sect Disciple of the West Sea Sect, and Long River True Person knew him.
However, Qiu Jianshan later betrayed the West Sea Sect and to avoid the Sect’s pursuit, he fled into the Western Region to hide.
No one knows what kind of opportunity he ca across, but he actually succeeded in forming his Golden Core.
It seems he had a significant connection with the Buddhist Sects of the Western Region, so he was willing to beco an enforcer for the Buddhists, ambushing Wang Chen, a Purple Mansion cultivator, without regard for the dignity of a Golden Core.
“Qiu Jianshan is a man of narrow mind and never forgets a grudge; having suffered a great loss this ti, he will surely harbor resentnt,”
Long River True Person said with a grave voice, “He can’t do anything to the teacher, but he will definitely co after you again, so in the coming ti, don’t leave the Sect lightly and cultivate in seclusion on the island.”
Wang Chen naturally had no objections, “Yes.”
Long River True Person nodded, “However, you need not worry too much, I severed one of his hands and even if he gets the Red Lotus White Lotus Root from the Buddhist Sect to reconstruct his limb, it would take him years to recover his cultivation.”
“Still, Qiu Jianshan has a number of disciples, and most of them are ruthless and vicious fiends, so you must be on guard!”
Heeding advice can fill a stomach; Wang Chen was of course not the kind to be ungrateful or foolish. When his master had spoken to such an extent, how could Wang Chen court trouble himself!
He simply changed the subject, “Master, I plan to customize a Lifebound Magic Treasure and I ask for your guidance.”
This encounter made Wang Chen realize that despite his strength being stronger than cultivators of the sa tier, against higher-level enemies, he severely lacked ans to protect his life.
If Long River True Person had not taken precautions, the outco Wang Chen would have faced is self-evident!
Although there were many treasures on him, there was not one that was the most suitable for protecting his life and offense. Treasures like the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon, Thousand chanisms Changing, Creation Cauldron, Upper Clear Qiankun Mirror and so on were not sharp weapons designed for battle.
As for the Hidden Dragon Staff and Red Nether Sword, they were a tier lower.
It was only Wang Chen who felt this way; any other Purple Mansion cultivator would be laughing in their dreams to have as many treasures as he did.
Yet, the dangers Wang Chen had to face were beyond what other Purple Mansion cultivators could imagine!
Creating a personalized Lifebound Magic Treasure was rely to increase his chances of surviving life-threatening crises a little bit.
“Lifebound Magic Treasure…”
Long River True Person pondered for a mont, then said, “Normally, given your current cultivation realm, it is a bit early to begin crafting your Lifebound Magic Treasure.”
Normally, only high-tier Purple Mansion cultivators consider or prepare to refine Lifebound Magic Treasures.
To increase their chances of successfully solidifying the Golden Core.
Purple Mansion cultivators with a Lifebound Magic Treasure do indeed have a slightly higher chance of success.
But Lifebound Magic Treasures are not easily obtained; the heavenly and earthly materials needed for their refinent could bankrupt an Immortal Cultivation family.
And it also requires the service of at least a Golden Core tier Refinent Master!
“Well then!”
Long River True Person waved his robe sleeve and handed Wang Chen a Jade Slip, “Contained within are records of 759 types of Magical Treasures, covering all five elents and astrological attributes. Take it back with you and study it thoroughly, then tell the teacher which Lifebound Magic Treasure you decide on.”
“I will give you so materials afterwards.”
Wang Chen was imdiately overjoyed, “Thank you, Master!”
This was the advantage of having the backing of a Sect and a master. If he were just an ordinary Loose Cultivator, not to ntion getting material for a Magical Treasure for free, he wouldn’t even think of easily obtaining a Jade Slip that records Magical Treasure information.
With the support of Long River True Person, he was even more confident in crafting the most suitable Lifebound Magic Treasure for himself!
