His voice trembled, “What did you say, Divine Talisman Sect?!”
“Indeed, Divine Talisman Sect. From the tone of elder, it seems you are familiar with this Sect?”
Lu Qing’s heart stirred, somewhat taken aback by the Artifact Spirit’s reaction.
Could it be that the Divine Talisman Sect was some formidable Sect during the ancient era of Immortal Cultivation?
“Of course, I know this Sect; you could say that during the Ancient Era of Immortal Cultivation, the Divine Talisman Sect was one of the most powerful Sects.”
“That impressive?” Lu Qing was a bit shocked.
However, this revelation allowed “Yan” to see a clue.
“Looking at you, kid, could it be that you have some connection to the Divine Talisman Sect?
That’s right, your Divine Soul Power is extraordinary.
You are merely at the Qi Refinement Early Stage, yet you possess Divine Soul Power comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In the Ancient Era of Immortal Cultivation, disciples from the Divine Talisman lineage were renowned for their powerful Divine Souls.
Could it be that you’re actually an inheritor of the Divine Talisman Sect?”
The more “Yan” spoke, the more it felt its conjecture was correct.
However, soon it became puzzled again, “No, that’s not right. With the ancient Spiritual Energy depleted, all cultivators above the Golden Core were unable to escape the great tribulation of the Heavenly Human Five Decays.
Even the Divine Talisman Sect shouldn’t have had Divine Skills that would allow them to survive in this realm for tens of thousands of years.”
“There’s no need to guess anymore; I’m not a disciple of the Divine Talisman Sect, I merely chanced upon some of its inheritance.
The place we are now is a small cave dwelling left by the Divine Talisman Sect at some unknown time.”
“Just a bit of the Divine Talisman Sect’s inheritance allowed you to cultivate to this extent?”
“Yan” looked at Lu Qing as if he were looking at a monster.
You should know, in the Ancient Era of Immortal Cultivation, disciples of the Divine Talisman Sect were notoriously stringent in their talent requirements.
Many disciples from other Cultivation Sects, who would be considered geniuses, could potentially fail even to qualify for entry into the Divine Talisman Sect.
This also led to the Divine Talisman Sect being well-known, yet its number of disciples was not large.
Compared to other top Sects, it seemed a bit sparse in manpower.
But the disciples of the Divine Talisman Sect were known to be incredibly powerful and mysterious, far surpassing those from other Sects.
In that era, when the Immortal Dao was flourishing and prodigies were emerging one after another, few could manage to be accepted into the Divine Talisman Sect.
It goes to show how high the requirements were for cultivation talents in that Sect.
Yet now, with just a bit of inheritance, Lu Qing had managed to cultivate something significant on his own.
This cultivation talent could no longer merely be described as genius; even calling it devilish might not be an overstatement.
No wonder this kid managed to provoke Tribulation Clouds and pass through the Heavenly Tribulation just as the Spiritual Energy had begun to recover.
The Artifact Spirit finally understood just how fearsome Lu Qing really was.
“‘Yan’ elder, what is this Heavenly Human Five Decays Tribulation you just mentioned?”
Lu Qing was interested in a piece of information the Artifact Spirit had let slip.
“The Heavenly Human Five Decays, huh…” The Artifact Spirit shifted its gaze, “Kid, if you want to extract information from me, it won’t be that simple. How about we make a deal?”
“What kind of deal?” Lu Qing quietly watched the Big Cauldron.
“You want to know about the Ancient Era of Immortal Cultivation, fine, but you must also meet a few of my conditions.
For example, not to arbitrarily block my perception, you must allow me to be aware of the outside world at all times.
If you agree, I will tell you about the great tribulation of the Heavenly Human Five Decays.”
Seeing that the Artifact Spirit was negotiating terms with him again, Lu Qing smiled and said, “Let’s talk about it later. I summoned the Leaving Fire Tripod this time to ask elder to assist me, a junior, in a matter.”
“Yan” felt disappointed that Lu Qing did not agree to its conditions, but still couldn’t help being curious, “What matter?”
“This!”
Lu Qing took out the Qiankun Qi Bag from his waist, divided his mind into two and simultaneously activated two Spiritual Artifacts.
The Qiankun Qi Bag suddenly swelled and spat out a grey gourd.
Immediately after, the mouth of the Leaving Fire Tripod opened and swallowed it up, suppressing it.
The Plague Elder inside the gourd, who had initially felt the restraints around him suddenly disappear and was startled, hadn’t had time to rejoice when he found himself engulfed in darkness, entering another space.
This space was different from that inside the Qiankun Qi Bag; it was filled with a blazing aura, as if entering a furnace.
“What the hell is this place, another Spiritual Artifact Space?
Impossible! Even if that kid’s luck defies the heavens, he couldn’t possibly own two Spiritual Artifacts at the same time!
Otherwise, just casually activating one would consume enough energy to drain him!”
The Plague Elder was somewhat panicked inside, but still tried to reassure himself.
He strained to sense his surroundings, trying to penetrate the mystery of this space.
