Chapter 1114: Celestial Apex Palace, Ancient Sundial
"Thank you, Master!"
Although Qingyue Lin had already reached the strength of a Fifth Rank Demonic Beast, he hadn't refined the horizontal bone in his throat and couldn't speak human language.
He could only kneel on the ground and send a grateful thought to Lu Xuan.
Seeing the spirit beast of the cave mansion, Lu Xuan was naturally pleased.
He watched as Qingyue Lin held the Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass and flew away swiftly. His gaze turned slightly wistful as he looked at the Wind Listening Beast, which had transformed into a wisp of clear wind, wandering around the cave mansion.
This seventh-rank spirit beast with unique abilities was very laid-back, neither competing nor grabbing, living freely.
Lu Xuan called the White Ape over.
"I'll be away for some time. If any fellow disciples come looking for me, tell them I'm in closed-door cultivation."
"It could be as short as two or three months, or as long as a year before I return to the sect."
"During this time, guard the cave mansion well. Qingyue Lin is busy with his breakthrough, so don't disturb him for a while."
He gave detailed instructions to the White Ape.
"I will remember your words, Master."
"As for Qingyue Lin, I'm also waiting for it to advance to the sixth rank soon."
"Fighting fifth-rank beasts is too boring; others might think I'm bullying it."
The White Ape grinned, revealing sharp fangs.
Lu Xuan shook his head with a smile and returned to the house to prepare for his journey to the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss.
The next day, he quietly left the Sword Sect and boarded the gigantic sword boat, entering the boundless void.
Nearly a month later, he finally arrived near the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss.
Along the way, he intentionally avoided other cultivators. Apart from encountering a few reckless Star Beasts and some suddenly formed spatial rifts, he didn't come across any other situations.
Even from hundreds of miles away from the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss, he retracted the gigantic sword boat, released Hua Meinu, and used a minor teleportation technique to quietly arrive in front of the black mist that enveloped the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss.
"The Incomplete Heavenly Abyss is located in a remote area, and the black mist that naturally has a restrictive effect, along with the Heavenly Star Sword Array I left outside, ensures that even after many years, there are no traces of outsiders entering."
After confirming that there were no abnormalities, he finally felt relieved and entered the sword array.
Landing on the ground, Lu Xuan's divine consciousness instantly locked onto the Eighth Palace in the spirit field.
The Eighth Palace had already blossomed with six spirit flowers, each layer of flowers revealing astonishing phenomena.
The seventh-layer spirit flower grew extremely slowly due to the lack of nourishment from a time-related treasure, and it would be a long time before it fully bloomed.
On the tiny flower bud, there seemed to be a transparent river rippling with layers of waves, flowing endlessly, giving one an involuntary sense of the passage of time.
Lu Xuan's mind and spirit gathered on it, sensing the detailed state of the seventh-layer spirit flower.
[Eighth Palace, Seventh Rank Spirit Plant, nurtured by the Void Realm Primordial Qi, has grown to the seventh layer, the Celestial Apex Palace. It requires superior spirit soil, pure spiritual energy, and high-level treasures imbued with the power of time to promote the growth of the spirit flower, transforming it from the illusory to the real.]
"Unknowingly, it has reached the seventh layer, the Celestial Apex Palace. As expected, it needs a time treasure to nurture it. Fortunately, I obtained the Time Arrow from the Sword Sect's treasury."
Lu Xuan sighed softly.
He still remembered that in the Joyful Star Cave, he had relied on his special ability to perceive detailed information about spirit seeds. He had obtained this rare seventh-rank spirit seed from an ancient stone.
After cultivating it for many years, it was finally reaching its conclusion.
As he was lost in his memories, a strange little arrow appeared before him.
The arrowhead was elusive, and the arrow shaft was adorned with deep spiritual light that flowed gently, resembling the transparent river on the Celestial Apex Palace's flower bud.
The arrow's tail trailed in the void, appearing and disappearing, and from it, one could sense a trace of the power of time.
"Although the seventh layer has been planted for several years, its growth is slow, and it still requires a time treasure to nurture it."
The last time Lu Xuan returned to the Sword Sect from the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss, he had been solely focused on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. After successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul stage and obtaining this Time Arrow from the sect's treasury, he finally had the opportunity to return to the Incomplete Heavenly Abyss.
"Since I'm here, I might as well directly mature the seventh layer of the Spirit Flower."
This thought appeared in Lu Xuan's mind, becoming increasingly intense.
He was eager to refine this Incomplete Heavenly Abyss into his personal spatial realm, and so he decided to use the Divine Wood Green Vase and the Primordial Tree Essence without hesitation, in order to quickly mature the Eighth Palace.
"The Vegetal Spirit Qi in the Divine Wood Green Vase was completely used up the last time I matured the Crossing Tribulation Flower. After a few years of replenishment, there is now more than half a vase's worth."
"As for the Primordial Tree Essence, there are still seventy-seven drops remaining, more than enough."
"After using it up, I'll take another trip to the Green Wood Star Cave."
"My relationship with the Supreme Pole Tree Mother is not bad. Now that I've advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and with the backing of the Cave Profound Sword Sect, if I negotiate properly, the Tree Mother shouldn't refuse."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
After making his decision, he no longer hesitated.
The Emerald Green Small Flask quietly appeared above the Eighth Palace, and strands of pure Vegetal Spirit Qi slowly drifted out from its mouth, seeping into the flower bud.
The transparent river on the surface of the flower bud flowed faster, as if drawing some special power from the nearby Time Arrow. In Lu Xuan's divine consciousness, he seemed to see the water level of the transparent river rising.
The Vegetal Spirit Qi from the Divine Wood Green Vase continuously infused the Spirit Flower, making it more and more vibrant.
Three days passed, and more than half of the Vegetal Spirit Qi in the flask was consumed.
Lu Xuan's expression remained calm, and a drop of Primordial Tree Essence quietly appeared before him.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
As the amount of Primordial Tree Essence absorbed increased, the Celestial Apex Palace grew at a visible rate. A strange Spirit Flower, formed by a time river, silently bloomed.
It wasn't until the ninth drop of Primordial Tree Essence that the semi-transparent progress bar at the bottom of the Spirit Flower was completely filled.
A white light orb quietly appeared in the center of the Spirit Flower.
"More than half a flask of Vegetal Spirit Qi and nine drops of Primordial Tree Essence were used to successfully mature just one layer of the Eighth Palace."
"That's just a part of a Seventh Rank Spirit Plant. If I were to start from scratch and mature a complete Seventh Rank Spirit Plant, I don't know how many resources it would take."
Lu Xuan thought to himself, gazing at the white light orb with intense anticipation.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light orb.
In an instant, the light orb silently shattered, and a shower of light rained down, quickly condensing into a slender river of light that swiftly entered Lu Xuan's body. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Obtained the Celestial Apex Palace, the Seventh Palace of the Eighth Palace, and acquired the Seventh Rank Treasure, the Ancient Sundial.]
As the thought vanished, an ancient sundial with mottled markings appeared before Lu Xuan.
The surface of the sundial was covered in large and small cracks, as if it had endured countless ages. Faintly, one could make out ancient inscriptions carved into its markings.
Lu Xuan's consciousness focused on the sundial, instantly understanding its detailed information.
[Ancient Sundial, a Seventh Rank Treasure, is said to have been left behind by the ancient barbaric humans. It contains the power of time and space, and by entering it, one can adjust the flow of time and influence the surrounding space-time.]
[When combined with the seven unusual treasures of Wind, Earth, Water, Fire, Yin, Yang, and Universe, it can refine an unclaimed heavenly abyss into a personal spatial realm.]
