Chapter 322: Survive 322
So it went. By leveraging the Phoenix’s ability to fully revive itself numerous times, Gu Yang was able to fight his way through the entire cave dwelling, reach the Scripture Pavilion, and get his hands on the divine scripture.
Then, he turned back around and cut his way through the fray, escaping out of the cave and back onto the surface.
Throughout the entire process, he used the simulator a total of ten times, consuming 400 points of energy.
He acquired a divine scripture of utmost significance to him and harvested more than 300 points of energy.
The loss wasn’t too great, but the entire process was incredibly perilous.
If it wasn’t for his Blood Bat pet beast as his trump card, he wouldn’t have dared to risk this. If things truly went south, releasing the Blood Bat swarm would surely have led him through the heavy encirclement.
However, if the Blood Bat swarm were to be dispersed, it couldn’t be recovered through the simulator. Thus, he had been refraining from using it throughout.
He has a better use for this trump card.
Gu Yang didn’t fancy taking risks as long as he had the simulator. Dangerous endeavors that could be preemptively resolved by the simulator weren’t worth doing.
However, this situation was exceptional. If he didn’t dare to risk a little, the divine scripture would be destroyed by the eldritch creatures.
No matter how you looked at it, now that the divine scripture was in his possession, the risk taken was worth it.
“Lad, how did you pull it off?”
At this point, Hammer’s voice rang in his mind, laden with heavy suspicion.
Gu Yang replied, “Secret.”
The voice snorted disdainfully before going quiet.
Gu Yang carefully tucked the divine script away and then set off towards Huangmu City.
With Luo Kun dead and Huangmu City left defenseless without its mightiest guardian, it was hard to station himself there anymore. He planned to notify them, so that the people in the city could prepare themselves accordingly.
He didn’t encounter a single eldritch creature all the way there.
Apparently, all the eldritch creatures from the surroundings had congregated deep underground.
“Lad, what’s your name? Which Sect do you belong to?”
After a while, Hammer couldn’t help himself and initiated the conversation once again.
“Gu Yang, unaffiliated with any sect. And you, what should I call you?”
The voice answered arrogantly, “I am the Massive Spirit Hammer, an Earth Grade Spirit Treasure.”
Although Gu Yang did not have a deep understanding of Spirit Treasures, from Hammer’s tone, it seemed that a Spirit Treasure of this grade was pretty formidable.
At the very least, it was quite formidable to him.
He said, “How impressive can an Earth Grade Spirit Treasure be? Now that the Way of Heaven is deceased, you will not receive the replenishment of Spirit Qi once you leave that cave dwelling. In the end, you will disperse due to the dispersal of your Primordial Spirit.”
The Massive Spirit Hammer sounded a bit deflated, “There is a way around it. As long as I find a Human Immortal who acknowledges me as their master, and gains the supply of Immortal Elements, I can protect my Primordial Spirit.”
Human Immortals refer to those at the Celestial Being realm and also those at the subsequent realms of the Hollow Void and the Law Manifestation.
Gu Yang scoffed, “Given the current state of this heavenly cave world, do you think there’s any Human Immortal who would willingly provide you their precious Immortal Element?”
At this, Massive Spirit Hammer fell silent.
Reality was indeed brutal. With the state of affairs in the Yellow Springs cave world, let alone whether there were any powerful beings at the level of Human Immortal, even if there were, they would find it impossible to replenish their Immortal Elements and would not invest it into nurturing a Spirit Treasure.
Gu Yang then said, “You might as well acknowledge me as your master. In this world, only I can afford to nurture you.”
“You don’t understand. Your cultivation level is too low. If I acknowledged you as my master, it would put a heavy burden on you. It would do more harm than good.” Massive Spirit Hammer’s tone wasn’t as arrogant as before; instead, it became a bit dispirited.
This was indeed a new perspective for Gu Yang.
He knew too little about Spirit Treasures at this level.
He changed the topic, “Hammer, how did the Yellow Springs cave world turn into such a state?”
“If my guess is right, it should be the tribulation of the River Styx.”
Massive Spirit Hammer said somewhat nostalgically, “Deep underground in the Yellow Springs cave world, there’s a branch of the River Styx. My master had sealed it off a long time ago.”
