Chapter 2809: Relic
“Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus!”
At the end of the second floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da, Su Zimo stopped in front of a treasure chest and looked at a lotus flower in it with a tempted expression.
Even his Green Lotus bloodline was tempted.
Back when he was in the Battle Kingdom of the Green Firmament Immortal Domain, Immortal Queen Ling Long had mentioned this lotus flower to him.
The Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus was a lotus flower that grew in the Nine Heavens Era. According to the records of many ancient books, the Nine Heavens Era might be the oldest era since the present.
The Great Emperor of that generation was Great Empress Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden who created the Technique Reserve.
Back then, Immortal Queen Ling Long had seen records of the Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus in Great Empress Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden’s inheritance ground.
Countless eras and hundreds of millions of years had pa.s.sed since the Nine Heavens Era. All living beings of that era had long perished after countless eras and rarely left any traces.
To think that he would see a relatively complete Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus on the second floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da!
Although the Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus was already withered, it was definitely a great tonic for the Green Lotus True Body.
Legend has it that when a living Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus bloomed, a Divine Dragon would even be born in the center of the lotus flower!
Su Zimo’s gaze landed on the Battle Merits required on the treasure chest.
2,000 points!
The Nine Heavens Dragon Lotus could be considered as one of the most precious and rare treasures on the second floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da!
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and did not exchange for it immediately. Instead, he continued heading towards the third floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da.
The treasures on the third floor still covered a large area, be it spirit pills, medicine or universal treasures.
Furthermore, on the third floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da, Su Zimo saw even more spirit items that were originally extinct in the past eras!
There was a Nine Nether Orchid that only grew in the Nine Nether Era but was still alive!
Of course, this precious plant required a lot of Battle Merits.
Along the way, everyone from the Sword World exclaimed from time to time.
This was the first time many of them had come to the third floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da.
There were many treasures that even the four Peak Masters had never heard of!
Su Zimo walked forward and looked at the rare treasures one after another.
It was no exaggeration to say that the treasures inside were incomparably precious and some of them even tempted him!
However, so far, he had yet to find what he needed.
After cultivating to the Perfected One realm, apart from cultivation resources like Essence Spirit Stones, the most important thing for cultivators was to comprehend the Heaven and Earth and Dharmic Dao.
Many Perfected Spirits often had sufficient cultivation resources and the True Essence in their bodies had long been acc.u.mulated to its peak. However, they could not comprehend the mysteries of their realms and could only be stuck at a bottleneck, unable to advance an inch.
This was especially true for the last two realms of the Perfected One realm— Hollow Nether and Paradise Void—they had extremely high requirements for cultivators to comprehend the Dao!
Up till now, Su Zimo had already mastered two peerless divine powers, the Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng Sword and the Eight Tusk Divine Strength.
However, in reality, he still had a few divine powers that had been cultivated to the level of quasi-peerless divine powers.
For some peerless divine powers, such as Fleeting Moment, Six Paths of Reincarnation and Four Heads Eight Arms, with his talent and opportunities, there was a high chance of him comprehending them given time and continuous acc.u.mulation.
However, there were some peerless divine powers and even Dharmic Daos that he could not do anything about.
That included the three secret skills within the Taboo Mystic Cla.s.sic, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra. Up till now, he had only comprehended the Dharmic Dao of Impermanence.
There were still two other Dharmic Daos, No Self and Silent Nirvana, that he could not comprehend at all.
If he could comprehend the Buddhist Dharmic Daos to the extreme and synthesize the secret skills of the Dragon and Elephant races, he could raise the Buddha Dragon Elephant to the level of a peerless divine power!
Every single peerless divine power comprehended would cause a qualitative leap and improvement for cultivators!
When a cultivator comprehended a peerless divine power, the power of that peerless divine power would descend to cleanse and temper their bodies, bloodlines and Essence Spirits, giving them a complete transformation.
At the same time, after comprehending a peerless divine power and fusing the Dharmic Dao into the Dao Fruit, the cultivator’s Dao Fruit would become even stronger and their cultivation would increase exponentially!
The stronger the Dao Fruit, the stronger the Grotto-heaven condensed in the future!
Su Zimo searched as he watched.
Finally, his eyes lit up. He took a few quick steps and arrived in front of a treasure chest.
Inside the treasure chest was a stone the size of a baby’s fist. It was golden and round, crystal clear without any impurities and emitted a faint golden light.
It was the Relic of an Arhat!
Furthermore, this was the Relic of a Supreme Arhat!
In the Buddhist monasteries, Perfected One realm cultivators were called Arhats. The Dao Fruit of an Arhat was a Relic.
To Su Zimo, the most direct way to continue comprehending the Dharmic Dao of the Buddhist monasteries was to find the Relic of an Arhat.
Through observing the Relics and comprehending the Dharmic Dao of the Buddhist monasteries inside to verify what he had learned, he might be able to gain some insights.
Among all the Relics of Arhats, the Relic of a Supreme Arhat was undoubtedly the most precious!
That was because the Relic of a Supreme Arhat definitely contained a peerless divine power!
It the peerless divine power of the Buddhist monasteries was the Buddha Dragon Elephant, that would be of the greatest help to Su Zimo.
“The Relic of a Supreme Arhat.”
Right then, Lu Yun walked over and murmured when he saw the Relic.
Without hesitation, Su Zimo placed the Blessed Heaven World Badge in the groove on the treasure chest and spent a total of 3,000 Battle Merits to exchange for the Supreme Arhat’s Relic.
“What a pity.”
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that there were two fine cracks on the Relic.
A crack in the Dao Fruit meant that the Dharmic Dao contained within might be incomplete and would affect the comprehension of cultivators.
Lu Yun said, “Actually, there are some perfectly preserved and flawless Dao Fruits of Supreme Perfected Spirits on the fifth floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da.”
“However, each of the perfectly preserved Supreme Perfected Spirit Dao Fruits requires 5,000 Battle Merits!”
“So much!”
Su Zimo was secretly speechless.
“Actually, the most important thing when exchanging for the Dao Fruit of a Supreme Perfected Spirit is to comprehend the peerless divine power within.”
Lu Yun said, “However, in reality, even if you obtain the Dao Fruit of a Supreme Perfected Spirit, you might not be able to comprehend the peerless divine power within.”
Su Zimo nodded.
In order to comprehend a peerless divine power, one required talent, opportunity, luck, timing, acc.u.mulation, opportunity, karma and other factors —there could not be anything less.
If anyone could comprehend peerless divine powers with just the Dao Fruits of Supreme Perfected Spirits, there would have been Supreme Perfected Spirits everywhere long ago.
Lu Yun continued, “The reason why this Supreme Arhat’s Dao Fruit is placed on the third floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da is because it’s flawed.”
“Even though there’s just two tiny cracks, that’s a full 2,000 Battle Merits difference!”
“On the fifth floor of the Treasure PaG.o.da, not only are there Dao Fruits of Supreme Perfected Spirits, there are even Nine Tribulations Spirit Treasures.”
“Every single Nine Tribulations Spirit Treasure requires 5,000 Battle Merits as well!”
