Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1345: Chapter 719: Collection

Li Yuanba couldn’t have anticipated that the place he entered earlier was actually this small building.

He wasn’t too surprised; it was just that when he entered the hall, he didn’t sense the presence of a spatial formation.

Reflecting on it now, the ancient sect probably used not an ordinary spatial formation, but refined the entire hall into something akin to a magical treasure.

This kind of technique is still in use today; the Treasure Pavilion and Book Collection Pavilion that Li Shiming took from the Yimu Cave Heaven of the Fuliu Sect are of this type.

However, the technique of this hall is not the same as those two architectural magical treasures; perhaps some refining methods from long ago have been lost.

Li Yuanba pondered for a moment and then attempted to re-enter the hall using the ’Divine Foot Skill’; the space movement once again brought him into the hall.

As he entered the hall, he felt the Spiritual Energy within and looked at the lotus growing in the shallow spirit water; he sensed that the hall lacked Spiritual Energy.

He took out a vein-locking plate, which sealed within it a Great Cultivator Spirit Vein.

He cast a spell, and the vein-locking plate released Spiritual Energy outward.

A great amount of Spiritual Energy surged into the hall, and he immediately noticed that the walls of the entire hall were faintly glowing. If he used ’Divine Sight’ to magnify, he would see that the light was actually from the Spiritual Power Pattern absorbing Spiritual Energy.

The hall seemed to come alive, with Spiritual Energy flowing through the hall’s Formation’s Spiritual Power Patterns, restoring the hall’s original functions.

Li Yuanba saw that the water pool where the lotus resided was slowly increasing in water volume.

Why was the spirit water in that pool so shallow? It was because over a long period, the lotus had been slowly consuming it.

Fortunately, the consumption of spirit water by the lotus is minimal, and after absorbing the spirit water, the lotus can transmit some energy to the hall, keeping the ancient Array Rune functioning with minimal energy to remain until now.

Li Yuanba further discovered that the originally incomplete ancient spatial Array Rune was in the process of being restored.

He thought of an important matter: if the ancient spatial Array Rune was repaired, how would he enter the hall?

He also thought about how Master Shi Dong had no space movement ability. Since Master Shi Dong could enter here, he must be able to enter without relying on space movement ability.

There must be something he hadn’t noticed; previously, his attention was entirely on the four walls of the hall and the lotus in the pool.

He checked several more times again but still found nothing.

He was somewhat reluctant to believe that Master Shi Dong’s array abilities were superior to his, even though the Array Runes used in the hall were extremely ancient and different from modern Array Runes. He still couldn’t accept being inferior to Master Shi Dong.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the ancient, incomplete spatial Array Rune in the hall had been repaired.

He tried it; he could no longer use ’Divine Foot Skill’ to leave the hall.

If he couldn’t find a way to exit the hall, he would have to destroy it.

Such a scenario worried Li Yuanba; if the hall was destroyed, the environment for the lotus’s growth would also be ruined, and the lotus would wither and die.

He regretted his reckless actions, trapping himself inside the hall.

At this point, he thought of Master Shi Dong’s soul crystal ring, seeking any clues it might hold.

He sent his Divine Sense into the soul crystal ring and immediately discovered the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat.’

Earlier, from a distance, he could only sense that the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ was of fourth-grade top-level quality.

Now, with his Divine Sense scanning it, he realized he was mistaken; this medium-sized Flying Boat was of even higher quality.

On the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat,’ he found a Speed Rule Imprint, not like his Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword, which automatically generates during the Artifact Tribulation with a gift from the heavens.

The Speed Rule Imprint he observed was inscribed onto the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ by some technique of a cultivator.

If evaluated by the Cultivation World’s standards of magical treasure quality, the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ should be between a fourth-grade top-level Artifact Tribulation Treasure and a Spirit Treasure.

No wonder the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ could achieve such terrifying speeds, surpassing even Li Yuanba’s ’Divine Foot Skill’.

Of course, if Li Yuanba’s cultivation were a bit stronger, enabling him to freely use ’On the Spot,’ the speed of the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ would fall short.

Additionally, the original Li Shiming’s seamless ’Divine Foot Skill’ was even faster than the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’s’ speed.

However, the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ is capable of continuous travel, excelling in long-distance journeys, while even if Li Yuanba’s cultivation allowed him to freely use ’On the Spot’, it wouldn’t be feasible for continuous long-distance travel.

Li Yuanba was thrilled; the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ was undoubtedly the highest-level flying vessel he had ever encountered.

When he wanted to imprint the Master Recognition Technique onto the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’, he suddenly realized it had an owner.

This meant that Master Shi Dong wasn’t the owner of the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’, and its owner was someone else.

His expression slightly hardened; from his understanding of great cultivators from major powers, a medium-sized Flying Boat of such a grade as the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ shouldn’t belong to a great cultivator.

Perhaps the recognition imprint inside ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ belonged to some great figure from the White Emperor Sect, and the thought made his scalp tingle.
