Chapter 99: Primal Chaos Altar

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

The expected supernova explosion didn’t occur.

When w.a.n.g Lu closed his eyes and braced himself, he had put the Non-Phase Sword Bone defense to the limit, yet what he met was just a strange silence.

After a moment, a hesitant voice of a woman broke this silent. “w.a.n.g… em, Sect Leader, what kind of special ceremony are you holding?”

w.a.n.g Lu opened his eyes and caught the partly teasing, partly doubtful face of the Holy Maiden Feng Ling. He then turned his head; the natural scenery of the mountain and the w.a.n.g Family Village were still as beautiful.

There was no explosion, nor surging stormy sea of spiritual energy. Beside him, a one man tall gray sphere lied quietly on the ground.

w.a.n.g Lu coughed and waved at the dirty old man and the others to act. This old man, knowing what just happened, nodded and, together with Wu Feihua, cast their illusion spell to cover the scenery ten meters around w.a.n.g Lu.

This was also inline with their previous plan. Once the altar was smoothly established, they were to cover it with illusion technique, so that the villagers would not be able to see any flaws.

As soon as the illusion was activated, w.a.n.g Lu had nothing to worry about; he curiously reached out and touched the sphere’s surface. All of a sudden, his Primordial Spirit trembled!

w.a.n.g Lu was amazed to find out that the gray sphere and his Primordial Spirit had established a trace of inseparable tie. At the same time, he also could feel a gentle suction force, and the nearby surrounding spiritual energy was slowly sucked into the sphere. After a moment, the spiritual energy was once again dissipated… Although the scale was small, this was certainly the characteristic of spiritual energy tide!

After he gawked for a while, w.a.n.g Lu slightly opened his mouth, showing a look of disbelief.

“d.a.m.n! Is… this a unique altar type?”

This altar should’ve been a perfect Jade Condensation Altar, but after that weird comet debris had mixed in, it turned into this thing!? What was this? Was there any other spherical altar in the Nine Regions?

w.a.n.g Lu recalled that from Elder Lu Li’s Altar Encyclopedia, there didn’t seem to have a similar record. As for other ancient books, such as Nine Regions’ Record of Strange Things, they also never mentioned the existence of this kind of spherical altar… Despite his achievement as the Spirit Sword’s top student Erudite, he actually could not identify what was amazing about this altar!

However, not being able to determine based on his book knowledge didn’t mean that he couldn’t. An on-the-spot investigation was more than sufficient to do that. w.a.n.g Lu closed his eyes and his Primordial Spirit gradually penetrated inside the sphere. By observing its internal structure through their ties, with his knowledge, he could soon judge the characteristic of the altar.

However, once his Primordial Spirit was inside, he discovered that the interior of this spherical altar was chaotic! Once the spiritual energy was absorbed in, it immediately turned into a chaotic thing, which he was completely unable to observe!

“Tsk, this is indeed a unique type of altar, it’s a top grade haute style!”

There was no trace of internal structure, thus the characteristic of this altar could not be a.n.a.lyzed. Therefore, through the intensity of spiritual energy tide, as well as the difference between the spiritual energy absorption and dispersion, w.a.n.g Lu roughly determined that it was an altar of around sixth or seventh rank.

This was slightly inferior to the ideal Jade Condensation Altar… w.a.n.g Lu was somewhat disappointed. However, he quickly discovered that things were not as simple as that.

Although the intensity of the spiritual energy tide was low, every time it absorbed and dispersed the spiritual energy... it seemed like the amount of the spiritual energy was slightly more than the previous. w.a.n.g Lu had patiently waited for ten rounds and, with his keen spiritual energy perception, confirmed his judgment.

He had actually seen this altar characteristic in the book, which could be described in two words: growth type!

“Interesting…”

There was an unwritten rule in the Immortal Cultivation World; anything, regardless of magical treasure, flying sword, or altar… as long as it belonged to this “growth type”, its value could be doubled immediately! Because this property was too rare!

There were only a few of this growth type altar in the Immortal Cultivation World. Extrapolating based on his experience, when the recently built altar, which was around sixth or seventh rank, fully growed to its potential, it was not unusual for it to be able to upgrade things one or two ranks from the original rank—this was far better than his expected result.

Right now, the only question was: although this spherical aura could absorb spiritual energy, its internal structure was simply chaotic, and thus, its output was completely random. w.a.n.g Lu had tried seven or eight spells to activate it, to no avail!

“d.a.m.n! A daring altar aren’t you!?”

However, since the highbrow move was invalid, he chose the popular move. w.a.n.g Lu sighed, pulled back his right foot and then fiercely kicked the sphere.

The next moment, the sphere suddenly trembled, then it crazily rotated. Before long, an opening appeared on its top, from which a thing was spat out and then fell to the ground; it was crystal clear and brilliant.
