Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

231: Chapter 231 Obtaining Another Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure: The Lotus Lantern!In the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, inside the Hall of Longevity.

Another year passed.

Gu Yan still sat cross-legged on the taixu guiyuan prayer mat, in closed-door cultivation.

Cultivation, to put it plainly, is like grinding water—slow and steady.

You don’t notice anything in a day or two, nor in a year or two, but it accumulates over time.

It’s just like saving money in his past life; saving a little every day doesn’t look like much, but over eight or ten years, it becomes a significant sum.

This day.

[trait immortal lord fuzhe - red》 effect triggered, you have obtained a highest grade innate spirit treasure · Lotus Lantern]

Gu Yan didn’t pay much attention at first.

He just assumed it was the usual, some ordinary sundries, mostly useless.

But when Gu Yan took a look, he realized this time seemed different.

highest grade innate spirit treasure.

Lotus Lantern?

Gu Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

Lotus Lantern? He was familiar with this name.

In the mythological dramas he watched in his past life, this item belonged to Goddess Nüwa, later fell into the hands of the Three Holy Mothers, and then Chenxiang used this lantern to split the mountain and save his mother.

Gu Yan didn’t rush to look at the lantern, but first clicked on the detailed information provided by the trait.

[highest grade innate spirit treasure · Lotus Lantern》: When Chaos first opened and heaven and earth began to separate, there was a Chaos Green Lotus, blooming thirty-six petals, owned by Great God Pangu. Later, the Chaos Green Lotus disintegrated, turning into many Innate Spirit Treasures... and the heart of the lotus turned into the Lotus Lantern.]

[Effect 1 · Illumination of the Great Thousand: The light emitted by the Lotus Lantern can illuminate the Three Realms and Six Paths, discerning the Origin of all things.

Up to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, down to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, there is nothing it cannot illuminate, nothing it cannot see.

Wherever the light reaches, all falsehoods have nowhere to hide, and all illusions are automatically broken.]

[Effect 2 · Immunity to All Laws: The Lotus Lantern hangs above the head, the light hanging down, forming a light curtain.

This light curtain can resist all external evils, whether it is physical attacks or Divine Soul attacks, all can be significantly weakened. As long as the Lotus Lantern is not extinguished, the holder of the lantern stands in an invincible position.]

[Effect 3 · Purification of All Things: The light of the Lotus Lantern has a powerful purification force.

It can purify Devilish Qi, Demonic Qi, resentment, poison, and all filthy things, and can also purify Impurities and Heart Demon in the Divine Soul. It can also purify the Karma brought by the backlash of Heavenly Dao.]

[Effect 4 · Resurrection from the Dead: The holder of the lantern uses their own immortal essence to activate the Lotus Lantern, which can condense the remnant soul of the deceased, reshape the Physical Body, and bring them back to life.

The higher the cultivation of the target being resurrected, the more immortal essence is consumed. Below the Immortal Emperor level, all can be resurrected. Above the Immortal Emperor level, the effect is halved.]

[Effect 5 · Devouring Evolution: The Lotus Lantern can devour other Innate Spirit Treasures and Acquired Supreme Treasures, using the devoured items as nourishment to improve its own grade. If enough Spirit Treasures are devoured, the Lotus Lantern can evolve into a Chaos Spirit Treasure, or even a Chaos Supreme Treasure.]

[Warm reminder: This lantern is the same model as a certain Saint, and the effects are about the same. Everyone who has used it says it’s good.]

Gu Yan looked at it and was silent for a long time.

Illumination of the Great Thousand, Immunity to All Laws, Purification of All Things, Resurrection from the Dead, and it can also devour and evolve.

Five effects, each more exaggerated than the last.

Especially that Devouring Evolution.

A highest grade innate spirit treasure is already so Heaven-Defying; if it could go a step further and evolve into a Chaos Spirit Treasure, or even the legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure, how terrifying would that power be?

Gu Yan took a deep breath, his heart moved, and he summoned the Lotus Lantern.

This lantern was about a foot high, jade-white all over, shaped like a lotus flower about to bloom.

The petals were layered, thirty-six in total.

The lamp base was in the shape of a lotus leaf, with three lotus leaves supporting the entire lantern.

The leaf veins were clearly visible, as if it had just been picked from a pond.

The wick was a lotus seed.

That lotus seed emitted a warm and bright light.

The light was not blinding.

But Gu Yan could feel that the power contained in that light was enough to shake a Great Thousand World.

”Good stuff.” After Gu Yan praised it sincerely, he began to calculate his assets.

Not counting the Chaos set given to Dragon One, the Innate Spirit Treasures he currently possessed were: haotian mirror.

abi sword, yuantu sword.

Plus this Lotus Lantern.

A total of four items.

Four highest grade innate spirit treasures.

You must know, in the Immortal Realm, even many existences at the Immortal Emperor level, who have spent their entire lives cultivating and seeking, might not even be able to touch a highest grade innate spirit treasure.

And he, Gu Yan, now has four.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased.

Back when he broke through to the Immortal King First Level, he used the purple trait Floating Life Like a Dream to fight against two Immortal Emperor level existences.

That battle lasted for thousands of years.

Although it was in a dream, where time was not synchronized with the outside world, that realistic combat experience was of great help to his combat experience and the consolidation of his cultivation.

That time, he didn’t determine a winner.

Both sides fought back and forth, and neither could do anything to the other.

In the end, he ended the dream himself because there was no point in continuing to fight.

Now, his cultivation had already broken through from the Immortal King First Level to the Immortal King Second Level.

And he had added this highest grade innate spirit treasure, the Lotus Lantern.

His combat power was more than a notch stronger than before.

It was time to test it again.

Gu Yan thought for a moment and decided to add one more opponent this time.

Buddha Datongguang.

Having made up his mind, he immediately activated the effect of the Floating Life Like a Dream trait.

In the dream space.

Gu Yan had the haotian mirror above his head, reflecting in all directions.

In his left hand was the abi sword, and in his right hand was the yuantu sword.

As for the Lotus Lantern.

Gu Yan’s mind moved, and the jade-white lotus lantern slowly rose from behind him, parallel to the haotian mirror.

Gu Yan didn’t wear the Chaos set this time.

It wasn’t that the item wasn’t good, but at the Immortal Emperor level, the defensive effect of the Chaos set was somewhat lacking.

That set could resist any attack below the Immortal Emperor level.

The implication was that for those above the Immortal Emperor level, the effect was limited.

At most, it could bring about ten or twenty percent damage reduction.

Now that he had the Lotus Lantern, Gu Yan no longer cared about that ten or twenty percent damage reduction.

The Lotus Lantern’s Immunity to All Laws effect was an all-around defense—physical, Divine Soul, Spell, it could block everything.

The strength was much higher than the Chaos set.

Gu Yan stood still and scanned the Void Realm with his gaze.

Opposite him, three figures slowly emerged.

In the center was the Cang Emperor, wearing an imperial robe.

On the left was Emperor Haotian, Lord of the Divine Court, whose Aura was in no way inferior to the Cang Emperor.

On the right was Buddha Datongguang, wearing a golden cassock, with a halo of Buddha light hanging behind his head, solemn and dignified.

Three existences at the Immortal Emperor level stood side by side.

Each one was a figure who could make the Immortal Realm tremble with a stomp of their foot.

Of course, this was just a replication from the dream.

Not the real bodies.

But their strength, combat style, Divine Ability, and Spells were identical to the real bodies.

Gu Yan looked at the three figures opposite him and said calmly: ”Let the battle begin!”

As soon as the words fell, the two Immortal Emperors and one Buddha attacked simultaneously.

Emperor Haotian raised his hand, and a palm print descended from the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

The Cang Emperor pointed like a blade, and a divine light cut through the Void Realm, slashing straight down.

Buddha Datongguang put his hands together, the Buddha light behind him surged, turning into golden Buddha palms covering the sky, pressing down.

Three attacks, from three directions, struck simultaneously.

Gu Yan did not dodge.

The haotian mirror above his head shone brightly, the mirror surface turned, illuminating Emperor Haotian’s palm print.

The palm print was illuminated by the mirror light, its speed dropped sharply, and its power was weakened by a few points.

Meanwhile, he swung the abi sword in his left hand, and a blood-colored Sword Qi met the Cang Emperor’s divine light slash.

The two forces collided, and a visible ripple exploded in the Void Realm.

He swept the yuantu sword in his right hand, and the Sword Qi turned into an arc, shattering all of Buddha Datongguang’s golden Buddha palms.

In one move, all three attacks were received.

Gu Yan did not stop.

He stepped forward and rushed directly towards Emperor Haotian.

Emperor Haotian’s expression did not change, and he raised his hand to strike another palm.

But this time, the Lotus Lantern above Gu Yan’s head lit up.

The lantern light fell, and the moment the palm print touched the light curtain, it melted rapidly like snow meeting sunlight.

The Purification of All Things effect of the Lotus Lantern was not just about purifying Devilish Qi and Demonic Qi.

Even attacks at the Immortal Emperor level could be purified.

Of course, the consumption was not small.

Emperor Haotian’s palm print was purified, Gu Yan did not stop, and the abi sword pierced directly at the opponent’s brow.

Emperor Haotian dodged sideways and slapped Gu Yan’s chest with his backhand.

Gu Yan did not dodge or evade, letting that palm strike the Lotus Lantern’s light curtain.

Bang!

The light curtain did not move at all.

The Cang Emperor on the side struck from the flank, the divine light turning into millions of needle rains as fine as cow hair, shooting at Gu Yan covering the sky.

The haotian mirror turned, and the mirror light shone towards the needle rain.

Those divine light needle rains were hit by the mirror light and instantly lost their accuracy, flying around randomly.

Buddha Datongguang also took the opportunity to attack, and a golden Buddha light hit Gu Yan from behind.

That Buddha light was not an offensive Spell, but a binding Spell.

Buddhist Divine Abilities pay attention to the word ”save”.

If I can’t save you, I’ll trap you.

Gu Yan felt his body slightly lag, but the Lotus Lantern’s light curtain flickered again.

Wherever the light reached, that golden Buddha light vanished instantly like hot water on snow.

Gu Yan looked back at Buddha Datongguang and grinned.

”Old bald monk, you’re not good enough either.”

For a time, in the Floating Life Like a Dream space, Sword Qi crisscrossed, palm prints surged, and divine light and Buddha light collided, fighting until the sky collapsed and the universe shook.

Gu Yan fought more and more smoothly.

Last time in the Floating Life Like a Dream space, he was one against two, and although he didn’t fall behind, he couldn’t gain any advantage, and it was a draw.

But this time, it was completely different.

Although the opponents increased from two to three, he was actually more relaxed than last time.

The reason was simple.

The Lotus Lantern was too strong.

That lantern hanging above his head was like giving him an invincible buff.

The attacks from the three Immortal Emperors came, most were weakened by the haotian mirror, and the rest were blocked by the Lotus Lantern’s light curtain.

Less than one in ten of the attacks actually landed on him.

And the force of that less than one in ten attacks, with his Immortal King Second Level Physical Body strength and the Divine Ability 《Great Luo Heavenly Five Elements Immortal Golden Body》, it was no big deal to take it head-on.

On the other hand, with the abi and yuantu swords in hand, his 《All Beings Equal Sword Intent was sharp and peerless.

Every time he swung the sword, the three Immortal Emperor level existences had to deal with it seriously.

Especially the abi sword and yuantu sword, these two swords themselves were Sharp Weapons among the highest grade innate spirit treasures.

With the two swords combined, the power was even higher.

Plus the assistance of the haotian mirror and the Lotus Lantern, which could weaken the enemy’s attacks and interfere with the enemy’s judgment.

The combined use of four Innate Spirit Treasures was not a simple one plus one plus one, but an exponential increase.

Gu Yan moved freely in the Void Realm, his swords flying, feeling hearty and refreshed.

Fighting! Awesome!

The three Immortal Emperor level opponents were suppressed and beaten by Gu Yan alone.

This feeling was like playing a game in his past life with a cheat code turned on.

You attack me? I’m invincible.

I attack you? You lose health.

What are you going to use to fight me?

Of course, Gu Yan also knew that it would be difficult to decide the winner.

After all, the opponents were three Immortal Emperor level existences, not three wooden stakes.

Although they couldn’t break through the defense of the Lotus Lantern, they could still protect themselves.

But then again, last time it was one against two, and it was a draw, and the fight wasn’t easy.

But this time, it was one against three, and not only was he at ease, but he was also suppressing the three of them the whole time.

This gap already explained everything.

With one more highest grade innate spirit treasure, the Lotus Lantern, the increase in combat power was not just a little bit.
