The name of this scroll sounds incredibly powerful.
"Is it a Magic Treasure? Or an even more formidable treasure?"
Su Bai tossed the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror in her hand, trying to open it.
It didn't move.
"Hmm?"
"Why won't it open?"
After trying again, she still couldn't open it.
At this moment, Su Bai suddenly thought of something, and she immediately left the Secret Realm where the Treasure Distribution Rock was located, returning to her own courtyard.
Holding the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, she approached the mysterious Immortal Vine.
As Su Bai drew closer, she saw the Immortal Vine react, its branches becoming more active and swaying.
The Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror in her hand also seemed to sense the Immortal Vine, floating up from Su Bai's hand and then opening automatically.
The scroll, once unfurled, was initially blank, but as time passed, a spiritual force seemed to enter the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror from the Immortal Vine.
Runes began to appear one by one on the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror.
Su Bai looked at the runes on it, recognizing them one by one.
"Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine, a spiritual wood of heaven and earth, blooms once every thousand years, producing seven flowers in total, then after another thousand years of gestation, the flowers bear fruit. The fruit contains the Five Elements Qi and can be used to refine Magic Treasures…"
Then, the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror continued to display the method for refining this Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine.
After reading it, Su Bai expressed,
"What a scam!"
"So powerful!"
This item, as recorded in the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, is very powerful. After becoming a Lifebound Treasure, it can even unleash a seven-colored divine light that can cut through anything.
Just its growth and fruiting alone require a full eight thousand years!
If it were given to someone else, they wouldn't be able to use it at all!
Only Su Bai could use it.
Moreover, even if one only obtained the Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine without the assistance of the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, they couldn't even dream of refining it into a Magic Treasure.
Once the Immortal Vine fully grows, the Primordial Chaos Qi it carries is not something an ordinary Cultivator can touch.
As for the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, it was indeed not the type of Magic Treasure Su Bai had guessed; it belonged to a supportive exotic treasure.
Its function is to identify items of Primordial Chaos, then query their usage methods, and protect the host from being harmed by Primordial Chaos Qi.
If one were to insist on using it as a Magic Treasure, because of its tough texture and its ability to block Primordial Chaos Qi, it could indeed be used as a defensive Magic Treasure.
As for how its effect compared to other defensive Magic Treasures, Su Bai didn't know.
"Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine… Five Elements Qi…"
She felt that she could indeed use it, and using it to refine a Lifebound Treasure was truly a good idea.
Before, she had wanted to find a treasure to refine into a Lifebound Treasure. According to Su Bai's thoughts, besides nurturing one Lifebound Treasure in her Dantian, she should also be able to nurture one in her Seven Chakras.
"Then this Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine will be used to make a sword scabbard, and as for the Five Elements Qi, I'll use it to refine seven Flying Swords."
Exactly eight Magic Treasures, to be used as a set.
As for the Luo Yan Xuan Ji Umbrella she was currently using, she would see if it could be enhanced further as a supplementary Magic Treasure. If so, she would refine it as well and use it as her usual signature Magic Treasure. If not, she would replace it directly after her cultivation improved.
And refining the Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine did not require finding other Materials.
She only needed to wait until it matured, then directly use the Immortal Vine as the medium and refine the Five Elements Qi into it.
As for how to separate the Primordial Chaos Qi during the refining process, that's when the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror would come into play.
Su Bai hadn't expected that the thing she was currently cultivating would eventually become her Lifebound Treasure.
What made Su Bai a little awkward now was this:
This Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine had actually matured long ago, but because it had been continuously obscured by Primordial Chaos Qi, Su Bai hadn't noticed it.
At this moment, with the Primordial Chaos Qi separated by the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, what appeared before Su Bai was a ten-thousand-year-old Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine…
The Immortal Vine was ten thousand years old, and the seven flowers growing on it had also matured, growing into seven gourd-shaped fruits at a visible speed.
Inside the gourds was the Primordial Chaos Qi.
If Su Bai were to refine it into a Lifebound Treasure with her current strength, it would take a very long time.
Of course, once refined, the power of the Magic Treasure would certainly be extraordinarily strong.
Su Bai put away the unfurled Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, then first injected her spiritual power to simply refine it a bit.
Once she could use the Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror, she would use it directly to pluck the Primordial Chaos Immortal Vine fruits planted on the ground and temporarily store them within the treasure mirror.
As for the Immortal Vine itself, she naturally pulled it up by the roots and collected it.
Now was not the time to refine a Lifebound Treasure.
Once she started, several years would surely pass.
After two years of effort, Su Bai finally understood the function of the Formation around Xu Changge.
However, understanding it was one thing; how to get Xu Changge to leave was something Su Bai truly had no idea about.
That Formation did not resemble a Tier 3 Formation.
Tier 3 Formations could already shift the space within the Formation, used to separate enemies, and also create different Formation spaces to trap enemies.
But the Formation used by the Six Sects was even beyond that.
"Is it a Tier 4 Formation?"
Tier 4 Formations had an even greater mastery over space than Tier 3 Formations.
They could completely Seal off space within a specific range.
While being indestructible, sealing and trapping enemies were not an issue.
At this moment, Su Bai was at her wit's end.
She had spent two years just to understand the Formation runes, and it turned out the Formation wasn't Tier 3, but Tier 4!
If it were Tier 3, Su Bai could try to break it with effort.
Tier 4 was completely out of the question!
"Xu Changge, what should I do?"
Thinking of this, Su Bai rubbed her temples in distress.
"Whew~"
After taking a deep breath, the distress on Su Bai's face disappeared, and she calmed down again.
She began to organize the information she knew, hoping to find a way to break the situation.
First, there was the Six Sects' side.
They had gathered Formation Masters to block the Restriction, and the nearby sea area was also sealed off. Ordinary Loose Cultivators could no longer enter the Secret Realm, and the Six Sects wouldn't let them in.
On that side, she only knew Xu Changge. The only one who could possibly save Xu Changge might be her Master.
"But Xu Changge's Master is also a member of a Sect. For the sake of the greater good, the Sect wouldn't let Xu Changge, a Tier 3 Formation Master, leave."
So, there was no way forward with the Six Sects.
And out here.
Su Bai only knew that the owner of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had some ideas about that Secret Realm.
However, Zhang Zihua seemed to be excluded by the Six Sects, and Zhang Zihua also didn't want to lower his status and shamelessly enter the Secret Realm. He was just waiting for the Six Sects to be unable to hold on and beg him before he would act.
What was Zhang Zihua's reason for entering the Secret Realm?
From the Jade Slip given by the other party, Su Bai knew that Zhang Zihua was a Cultivator from the Mystic Heaven Cultivation World on the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where resources were more abundant.
There was absolutely no reason for him to come to Great Yun.
Unless there was something in Great Yun that Zhang Zihua wanted.
And that thing was in the Secret Realm of the Outer Sea.
"What could it be…?"
As Su Bai was thinking, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She seemed to have obtained a fragmented map from the Storage Pouches of White Cloud Daoist and Heitu Old Man.
Thinking of it now.
The place depicted on that map was somewhat similar to a place in her memory.
And that place seemed to be one of the Secret Realms left behind by the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.
Something that could attract a great Cultivator like Zhang Zihua must not be ordinary.
Could this Ten Thousand Demons Hall Secret Realm be one of them?
Thinking of this, Su Bai narrowed her eyes. She felt that she might have a chance to rescue Xu Changge.
"Let's give it a try."
