Chapter 37: The Awakening of the Tool Spirit
Yang Tong returned home safely and without incident. His parents didn't ask him many questions, thinking that going out for a walk after dinner was a good thing.
Yang Tong returned to his room, took out the Earth Soul Crystal, and gazed at the beautiful crystal in his hand, secretly admiring it. This thing was a treasure used by Void Ninth-Grade powerhouses to break through to the Sacred Realm! Besides the fundamental improvement of strength and cultivation, the most obvious benefit of advancing from Void to Sacred Realm was the increase in lifespan. A Void-Grade powerhouse could only live for 5,000 to 6,000 years, while a Sacred Realm powerhouse could live comfortably for 10,000 to 20,000 years!
This is a very frightening data, what concept is 10,000 to 20,000 years? From the beginning of human civilization to the 21st century, it's less than 10,000 years, right? Living for so long, it's simply an old monster.
For some dying Void Grade powerhouses, the Earth Soul Crystal is a treasure that will drive them crazy, and they will stop at nothing to get it, whether it's spending all their wealth or risking their lives.
Yang Tong dug out two pieces, if the news gets out, it's certain that Yang Tong will either be offered as a sacrifice or directly dissected like a white mouse. The latter is more likely because Yang Tong is too weak.
Yang Tong didn't dare take out the piece of land soul crystal again, and simply handed it over to Tong Qian with a meaning: "Absorb!"
The copper coin jumped out of the sea of consciousness and wrapped up the piece of land soul crystal, transforming into a beam of light that rushed into Yang Tong's sea of consciousness. In an instant, the land soul crystal was absorbed completely.
A surge of energy returned from the copper coin, and the second, shallower imprint on the copper coin began to recover. Meanwhile, Yang Tong fell asleep.
When Yang Tong woke up, he suddenly felt that the whole world was different. No, it should be said that the world had not changed, but Yang Tong himself had undergone a surprising change. He only felt that his ears were clearer, his eyes were brighter, and his senses were more acute.
"What's going on here?" Yang Tong muttered to himself, actually he had also guessed that this must have something to do with the copper coins absorbing the soul crystal last night.
"Master, congratulations, your soul has condensed." A young and tender voice sounded, oh, to be precise, it sounded in Yang Tong's mind.
"What? Who's speaking?" Yang Tong jumped in fright.
"Master, I am the spiritual essence of the Innate Spiritual Treasure. I have just awakened from a long slumber. In your sea of consciousness, I directly convey meaning through the sea of consciousness, not through language. You only need to think about speaking with me and silently transmit your thoughts to communicate with me." The spiritual essence replied.
"Are you Town Soul?" Yang Tong asked.
"It is and isn't, my name is Luo Bao. I am the original spiritual treasure of the pre-heavenly realm, while the others - Zhen Hun, Qing Feng, Fang Yuan, and Luo Bao - are all just manifestations of my spiritual consciousness, not the actual treasure spirit. I was forged from the highest source of the Great Dao before the separation of yin and yang, and my true form is that of a golden ingot. My name is Luo Bao Jin Qian! During the war of Xianmie, my master died in battle, and I was struck, causing my manifestations to fall asleep, leaving only four spiritual consciousnesses behind, waiting for the day when they would be reunited with their master. The main spirit, however, sank into a deep slumber within the Zhen Hun purple ingot. It wasn't until the moment I awakened that I realized that in the endless cycles of reincarnation, this one purple ingot had never been claimed by anyone, which is why I had never woken up before." Luo Bao replied.
Yang Tong was stunned, this matter was too mysterious, four copper coins, he picked up the purple copper coin where the master spirit slept, his luck was simply too good.
It wasn't until Yang Tong heard the explanation from Lingbao that he finally understood. It turned out that the Earth and the universe where the Milky Way was located were low-dimensional universes, which is why Ziqian had been buried all along. At the moment when Yang Tong unintentionally recognized him as his master, Ziqian activated the residual energy inside and came to this world of higher dimensions than the universe where Earth is located, in order to find other incarnations of Lingbao's treasure. Only then did he bring his soul with him and cross over to the Fengxuan Continent.
Originally, under normal circumstances, the instrument spirit hidden deep within the Purple Qian would awaken when Yang Tong's cultivation reached at least the Void level, allowing him to rely on his own soul power to achieve this result.
However, a piece of land soul crystal caused the instrument spirit to wake up ahead of time, which was absolutely a great thing for Yang Tong.
"Hmm, this world is indeed suitable for cultivation. The Purple Qi has suffered significant damage, and the master needs to take out some more spirit stones, oh, it should be standard crystal stones to replenish energy and thoroughly repair the second rift." Lu Bao suggested.
Yang Tong was no longer a super poor ghost like before. Now Yang Tong's family was wealthy, and he unhesitatingly took out several standard crystal stones.
The copper coin sucked lightly for less than half a minute, and the enormous energy in several crystal stones was drained.
"Not enough!"
Yang Tong took out three more coins to absorb, after half a minute, he took out three more, using a total of ten coins, and instantly used up half of the standard crystal stones he had just bought.
"The second crack in the copper coin has been repaired, and the function of opening the heavenly eye has been activated. It has the effect of seeing through illusions and can more intuitively see the evolution of the laws of heaven and earth. However, the master has not yet transcended the mundane, so the function is temporarily sealed and cannot be used."
Yang Tong listened for a moment and asked: "Do you have any way to make me wake up as soon as possible? Since my natural awakening is too uncertain, artificial awakening is too expensive."
"I analyzed the civilization of the world where the master is, and although there are some differences in the cultivation process, it can be said that they are generally similar. Based on various spiritual artifacts, I can see that the humans in this world have received part of the legacy of the Xian civilization and then developed their own path. As for the overall level of civilization, I am still unable to evaluate it, but from these so-called spiritual artifacts, I can see obvious signs of the method of refining Xian treasures. Awakening, Earth, Sky, Void, Sacred Realm, Demigod, True God... These are equivalent to the seven realms of cultivating immortality: Leaving the Mundane, Building the Foundation, Forming the Elixir, Nurturing the Embryo, Transforming into a Spirit, Merging with the Body, and Achieving Immortality." Luo Bao said, thinking for a moment before continuing, "Although I don't understand the difference between building a divine kingdom, igniting the divine fire, and finally ascending to immortality, I think the boundaries between them won't be too different."
Yang Tong listened with rapt attention, and it turned out that the legendary immortals on earth were real, and people could really cultivate immortality. However, the immortal civilization had disappeared, and the human civilization he was in now could be said to be a kind of alternative continuation of the immortal civilization.
"But this world's cultivation system is still not systematic enough, and from the perspective of spiritual tool development, it relies too heavily on external objects. In our era, the path of cultivation was passed down from the immortal saints, spreading throughout the civilized world, with extremely systematic methods for cultivating from mortal to immortality, especially the step of transcending mortality, where at least five or six out of ten mortals could transcend, but now, the awakening step has trapped many mortals, with an awakening rate of only one in ten thousand, it's too backward."
