Like the Nine Volumes of Killing Arrays, the Nine Volumes of Illusion Arrays are based on Daoist Qingyu's understanding of array formations. The Divine Array Heart is a secret technique that can temporarily enhance the power of an array and unleash even greater strength.
After a moment's thought, Xia Mangqing chose the inheritance on the left.
He has now achieved the unity of the two forces, so the "Divine Array Heart" is not very useful to him. On the contrary, the "Illusory Heart Divine Eye" can allow his Heavenly Eye to evolve and transform again.
Moreover, compared to the illusion array, the killing array is more practical in using the method of combining two forces, which can greatly enhance the power of the refining energy.
As for other aspects, they were all roughly the same, so the choice wouldn't have much of an impact, and Xia Mangqing didn't consider them too much.
After receiving the inheritance, Xia Mangqing left the side hall. The beautiful woman saw him and pointed to a spacetime teleportation array, saying, "From there you can go to the third floor, or leave this tower. You can choose for yourself."
"However, if you leave, you will no longer be able to enter this tower."
"Okay." Xia Mangqing nodded, choosing not to leave now, but instead went directly to the third floor.
The third level of the tower is a world of flames. Upon entering, Xia Mangqing learned that the trial of this level was to have slaughtered people in this world for a hundred years, and the opponent was a flame life form born in this world.
These flame beings are all very special, much like the strange bats in the Dark Sea. The weakest is comparable to the World Realm, and the strongest is comparable to the Second Step Dao Lord.
The test is more difficult than the first level, but his strength has improved a lot. He has comprehended the method of combining the two forces of the array, and its power is comparable to the strongest path.
By using this illusion array, one can influence even a second-step Dao Lord.
In addition, he also obtained a set of eternal divine weapons of the highest quality flying swords, which could also enhance his strength.
"out!"
With his flying sword out, Xia Mangqing immediately began his slaughter.
Ordinary flame beings had no power to resist and could be annihilated in an instant. Even flame beings comparable to Dao Lords were unable to contend with them and were swiftly killed.
Only a flame-like being comparable to a second-step Dao Lord would require Xia Mangqing to use all his trump cards to kill it.
One of the biggest gains from a century of slaughter was that the sinful divine weapons he had used to kill ordinary flame beings had all been refined into top-grade Dao divine weapons.
This new method of refining sinful divine weapons was learned by Xia Mangqing at the Da Mo Academy after he became a disciple of the Da Mo Dao Jun. The level of top-grade Dao divine weapons has also reached the limit of refining sinful divine weapons.
After all, all eternal divine weapons have an origin, and the origin is generally based on the Dao of the Eternal Emperor. In other words, the growth limit of a sinful divine weapon is a top-grade Dao divine weapon. Unless the Eternal Emperor integrates its origin into it and forges some stronger wonders, it can truly transform into an eternal divine weapon.
However, the Sinful Divine Weapon at the level of a top-grade Dao Divine Weapon is more suitable for Xia Mangqing. After all, it was refined with his blood and can be regarded as a crude version of his natal divine weapon. In his hands, it can unleash even greater power.
"For close combat, top-grade Dao Divine Weapons are sufficient for now, but we also need to find a way to forge a Natal Divine Weapon."
Xia Mangqing thought to himself that, in terms of quality, the natal divine weapon belongs to the eternal divine weapon, but its origin is based on the user's Dao, so it has strengths and weaknesses. The advantage is that the natal divine weapon can be upgraded as the user's "Dao realm" improves.
It could even transform into a cosmic treasure.
Of course, to transform into a cosmic treasure, one must at least fuse with the strongest Dao and achieve eternal Dao, thus attaining a supreme level of Dao. Only then is it possible for one's natal divine weapon to transform into a cosmic treasure.
"The forging of a natal divine weapon is extremely difficult. I must seize the opportunity to become the disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor. Only in this way can I have the chance to come into contact with the Eternal Emperor, who is capable of forging natal divine weapons."
Xia Mangqing had a clear idea: to forge a natal divine weapon, only an Eternal Emperor could do it, and even then, the Emperor had to be an expert in weapon forging.
Currently, the best solution is to become a disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor.
After figuring this out, Xia Mangqing did not rush to enter the fourth level. He had been killing with weapons such as knives and swords for a hundred years and had gained many insights into the way of using weapons. Now that he had passed the test and the third level had returned to peace, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to sort out what he had gained in the past hundred years and continue to try to create a new path.
He then shared his memories again before entering the Time Treasure to continue his seclusion.
In the Heavenly Wood Holy City, Xia Mangqing emerged from his cave.
Three thousand years have passed, and he has temporarily suspended his seclusion to participate in the treasure-hunting competition in Tianmu Holy City.
"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please come this way."
A Chaos Immortal dressed in the robes of a Tianmu Sect disciple greeted Xia Mangqing.
Xia Mangqing is somewhat famous in the world realm of Tianmu Holy City, not for any other reason than that he is strong enough and rich enough!
Over the years, some disciples of the Tianmu Sect have also cooperated with him during his adventures and know his strength.
Similarly, they also knew that Xia Mangqing had spent two to three million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid in Tianmu Holy City over the years. Such an astonishing foundation was unmatched by ordinary Dao Lords of Life and Death.
Naturally, this also attracted the attention of some living beings.
However, he is strong enough that ordinary Dao Lords are no match for him, so unless he runs into a powerful figure, he will not suffer any harm.
"Fellow Daoist Yunhe."
Xia Mangqing walked towards the young Chaos Immortal. This person was a disciple of an Eternal Emperor of the Tianmu Sect. He was extremely extraordinary and had already embarked on a strong path, and could become a Dao Lord of Life and Death at any time.
However, given his status, he naturally knew about the strongest path and how to merge with it. Therefore, he did not break through but continued to hone himself, hoping to go further and create or even merge with the strongest path.
Xia Mangqing and he met during an adventure, and the two worked together for a while, so their relationship was fairly good.
"Let's go, we'll head straight to the Yu Bao Realm."
Yunhe said directly that this treasure competition is very grand and is jointly organized by three major forces. The main venue is Feiyu Tower, but only those with the strength of a fourth-step Dao Lord can enter.
The Blackwater Pavilion and the Yubao Palace are prepared for beings whose strength is below the fourth step Dao Lord level.
The Yu Bao Realm is a chaotic world specially created by the Yu Bao Palace for this treasure-hunting competition.
"Let's go." Xia Mangqing nodded, and then the two transformed into rainbow light and fled together to the Yu Bao Palace. They then entered the Yu Bao Realm under the guidance of a servant.
The Yu Bao Realm is a very ordinary chaotic world, nothing special, after all, it was created temporarily.
At this moment, countless beings were seated in the heavens and on the earth within the realm. There were hundreds of thousands of beings at the World Realm, and even several thousand at the Dao Lord level. However, all of them had concealed their auras. Otherwise, the interaction of the auras of so many powerful beings would have instantly annihilated this chaotic world.
In addition, a special array restriction was set up in this chaotic world. The presence of such an array restriction meant that killing was forbidden in the Yu Bao Realm. Otherwise, it would be considered an act of defiance against the Tianmu Sect. Given the strength of the beings in this realm, no one could escape.
Xia Mangqing and Yunhe landed on a cloud of mist. Divine fruits and celestial wines were laid out there. The two sat down cross-legged and began to chat.
"I've heard that there are many good items at this treasure competition, including some natal divine weapons." Yunhe comes from the Tianmu Sect, and this treasure competition is jointly organized by the Tianmu Sect. Given his status, he can indeed know some information.
"They actually have a natal divine weapon? They'll probably fight tooth and nail for it."
Xia Mangqing sighed. He wasn't thinking of buying his natal divine weapon right now, for no other reason than that he couldn't afford it.
A typical personal weapon is worth over ten million cubic meters, and a higher quality one can easily be worth tens of millions of cubic meters.
Although his clone gained a lot from his adventures, his net worth was still less than ten million, let alone enough to buy his natal divine weapon.
"Yes, if the natal divine weapon is suitable, those Dao Lords of Life and Death will definitely fight for it at any cost, and there will be a good show to watch." Yunhe said with a smile, "In addition, I heard that there are several kinds of eternal-level divine objects, including one called Eternal Divine Light, but it is not auctioned in the Yu Bao Realm, but at the Fei Yu Tower."
"Tsk tsk—they even have eternal divine light?"
The Eternal Divine Light moves at an unimaginable speed. It can be said to be the fastest divine object in the Eternal Realm under normal circumstances. Capturing it is extremely difficult and requires countless preparations.
Such divine objects are generally only contested by the Eternal Emperor, because their value is too great, and the Dao Lords of Life and Death, unless they are the first-level Dao Lords of the Dao of Light, have no hope of refining them.
"Yes, the treasure competition in the Yu Bao Realm has quite a few divine artifacts. Brother Qingxuan, you have cultivated the nine secret techniques created by the Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Gods, so perhaps you could take a look."
Yunhe reminded him, and Xia Mangqing nodded. He definitely wanted to learn the nine secret techniques in the next chapter, but he didn't have that much Chaos Spirit Liquid right now, so he planned to buy "Nine Origin Divine Fire" to cultivate first.
As the two were chatting, a Dao Lord of Life and Death dressed in a black dress appeared in the void. Judging from his aura, he should be a Third Step Dao Lord.
"Fellow Daoists, the Treasure Competition of the Universe Treasure Realm is about to begin."
The female Daoist smiled faintly, then waved her sleeve, and wisps of immortal clouds drifted down in her direction. She then spoke, "The first batch of treasures consists of ten thousand Daoist divine weapons, all of the highest quality. You may bid at any time and choose the treasures you desire."
The event was just a warm-up, yet they had already brought out ten thousand top-grade divine weapons, so it's foreseeable that this treasure-hunting event will be astonishing.
Neither Xia Mangqing nor Yunhe bid. Apart from some special types of Dao Divine Weapons, ordinary top-grade Dao Divine Weapons held little appeal for them.
This first batch of treasures was also prepared for ordinary world beings who could come here.
"The second batch of treasures consists of one hundred ordinary eternal divine weapons."
"Each Eternal Divine Weapon starts at 10,000 cubic units of Chaos Spirit Liquid. You may bid freely, but the highest bidder will win."
After all ten thousand divine weapons of the Dao were sold, the female Daoist waved her hand, and another hundred auspicious clouds carrying one hundred eternal divine weapons appeared in the void.
Each participant can choose different divine weapons to bid directly. With the strength of that female Daoist's soul, even if billions of living beings bid at the same time, she can clearly remember and distinguish them, and there is no possibility of any mistakes or omissions.
After auctioning one hundred ordinary Eternal Divine Weapons, another one hundred mid-grade Eternal Divine Weapons and one hundred high-grade Eternal Divine Weapons were also auctioned.
In the bidding for the top-grade eternal divine weapon, Xia Mangqing actually bought two pieces, using more than 700,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.
Firstly, it is a time-related eternal divine weapon. If this eternal divine weapon is used by a World Realm cultivator, it can stably maintain a thousand-fold time acceleration without the cultivator consuming any mana. Even if a Dao Lord uses it, it can stably maintain a hundred-fold time flow rate.
Secondly, it is a piece of armor with seven layers of divine rune restrictions, which can reduce the power of attacks by 90%. With Xia Mangqing's strength, he can easily withstand even the attacks of a third-step Dao Lord.
