Absorbing the Spiritual Power of the formation back into his body, the silver armor on Tang Luo disintegrated into dots of light, scattering in all directions. The sounds of internal explosions also subsided. Grimacing, Tang Luo struggled to his feet and moved to the remnants of two small mountains of Divine Medicinal Plants. Sitting cross-legged, he began to eat again. Once he felt sated, he once again activated the formation to evolve his body. The feeling was indescribable and something he wouldn’t share with others.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The few little guys who followed Tang Luo to the first underground layer were completely captivated by the dazzling array of spiritual armors and weapons, unable to take another step.
Compared to the current craftsmanship, the most distinguishing feature of the spiritual armor from a thousand years ago is that they retained the shape of an armor. The underground palace was filled with full sets of these armors that looked like pieces of art, radiating brilliant lights. They looked much more majestic than the current spiritual armors which were shaped like jade ornaments or jewellery.
The reason why modern spiritual armors are shaped like jewellery is mainly for convenience. After all, martial artists face countless unexpected battles and they can’t afford to be unguarded. Therefore, craftsmen turned spiritual armors into a form that could be constantly carried by martial artists. But there was a price to pay for such convenience. In terms of force discharge and blunt instrument defense, modern spiritual armors were far inferior to the ones with complete armor shapes.
The arrival of Tang Luo had dispersed the fear of dying that had been haunting them. The sight of the majestic spiritual armor and weapons even made Tang Zheng and Tang Man forget all their hesitations. Only Tang Fengran was still comforting Tang Zhen. Little lad Xiao Zheng was also standing by, looking worried.
Xiao Zheng had never seen Tang Zhen in such a vulnerable state before. He was also curious to ask Tang Fengran about how her brother met them and why he had to kill Ji Fu. Even though Ji Fu’s corpse was cremated before they ventured down, the concern for his death was still lingering in the boy’s mind.
After Tang Fengran’s long comforting session, Tang Zhen finally regained her focus. The very moment her eyes became clear, she saw Xiao Zheng’s worried face.
With a burst of tears, she threw herself into Xiao Zheng’s arms, forgetting all about Tang Fengran who had been comforting her.
Looking at Tang Xing’s earnest attempts to soothe Tang Zhen by patting her back, Tang Fengran got up speechlessly. She too felt the need to pick a spiritual armor for herself.
The three boys who had entered the underground palace instantly felt that Tang Fengran, who had faced the formidable Blood Face, didn’t share in their relief. To her, the Blood Face was like a mountain standing in their way. Unless they could take down the Blood Face, there was no chance of escape. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Just like traveling, a mission where death is constantly at their heels could bring people closer together. Tang Zhen’s leap into Xiao Zheng’s arms seemed to fill her with immense courage. Suddenly, the Blood Face did not seem that scary.
In less than half a day, they had picked the armors and weapons for themselves. Although they did not have enough Spiritual Power to use the armors to their full potential, they were now at least properly equipped for defense against the Blood Slaves. Before going down, Tang Luo had instructed them to go to the third level to wait for him once they had picked their armors. They were also instructed to peruse the secret techniques and see if they could master any within a month.
Even Tang Fengran, who was the last to make her pick, was ready. They moved to the third level to choose suitable secret techniques, leaving only Xiao Zheng and Tang Zhen on the first level.
After a day of strenuous effort, Tang Luo finally completed all the body forging effects of the sixth-grade Undying Battle Body using a total of fifty-two thousand Divine Medicinal Plants.
“Finally!” Tang Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He never wanted to experience the effect of servicing veins again. The pain and itch of exploded veins was like the worst torture in the world. It took him a whole day to complete the servicing of veins because he had to keep interrupting the function as the pain was too unbearable. Though he several times thought of giving up midway, he eventually gritted his teeth and held on.
Next, he had to practice the last ten Divine Marks of the fifth-grade level, which were centered around the stomach area – the earth element, and were also his power core.
The first Divine Storage in his body was about to open. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t excited. However, learning from the previous experience, the first thing Tang Luo planned to do was to become an excellent farmer and stockpile the Divine Medicinal Plants.
There was a reason why the Han Family called these fifty Divine Marks ‘the Upper Fifth Grade.’ According to the previous consumption standards, to attain the fifth-grade Undying Battle Body, Tang Luo would need at least five hundred thousand Divine Medicinal Plants. The cost to achieve this was so colossal that even an entire nation wouldn’t be able to afford a large number of Undying Battle warriors. However, things would change once the Upper Fifth Grade Divine Marks were practiced. The Five Elements Formation in the body would continuously generate Innate Qi, providing a good forging material. Once the formation was activated, the Spiritual Power in all herbs would be twice as purified, greatly reducing the loss of herbs. Additionally, with his first Divine Storage being the stomach, Tang Luo could transform all things into food, which could enhance his absorption ability enormously. Combined with the one hundred thousand hectares of spiritual fields, it was hard to tell if it would be enough for him to push the Undying Battle Body to its limit.
Looking at the scroll in his hands, Tang Luo was filled with anticipation. Just imagining being able to knock anyone over with a single punch when he went out brought a wide smile to his face.
Humming an unknown tune, he swept through the fields like a silver whirlwind. He didn’t know how much energy would be needed to open the Divine Storage but decided to stock up anyway.
Picking five hundred thousand Divine Medicinal Plants should be more than enough. By his calculation, with a thousand plants per acre, he only needed to harvest five hundred acres to gather fifty-thousand plants. The Han family certainly was generous. There were a hundred thousand acres of spiritual fields, which amounted to a hundred million Divine Medicinal Plants.
This reserve surpassed eighty to ninety percent of sects out there. Only top-tier sects and sacred lands could compare. The Han family’s strength a thousand years ago was truly astounding, considering it had set up three such treasuries. If the Han family was so formidable even to modern standards, how powerful must the sacred lands like the An Family of Zhongzhou, the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, or the Martial Saint Mountain of Longzhou be after a thousand years of development?
Sometimes, the closer one gets to these sacred lands, the wider the unbridgeable gap loomed. It was like the gap between gods and mortals. If Tang Luo were just a rural noble son, he’d probably be scared to death.
But he was not just anybody. He had another set of memories. Having faced great terror, he remained unperturbed by these formidable sacred lands.
No matter if they are kings or generals, they take their positions by force, isn’t it?
