Chapter 38: The Eve of Leaving Holy Spirit Mountain, Obtaining a Divine Artifact
A week later, in the room of Meng Ling on Shengling Mountain. Meng Ling finally opened her own eyes.
"Hmm, it's so refreshing. What time is it now?" Meng Ling stretched her petite body, and suddenly, a series of crackling sounds came from her joints.
"Oh? Have you completely figured out how to use your own strength yet, Little Meng Leng?" At this time, the voice of the Great Elder once again reached Meng Leng's ears.
"Yes, Great Elder, this time I have fully realized the extent of my own strength. And in my spiritual world over the past few days, Sally and Carmel (the mysterious female voice in Meng Long's mind) have taught me many divine techniques. I believe that from now on, my safety should be guaranteed." Meng Long turned around to smile at the Great Elder behind him.
"Oh? Is that so, well, good. By the way, come to the Elder's Hall later, I have something for you." As soon as the words fell, the Great Elder's body seemed to melt away, gradually disappearing from Mengying's line of sight. Mengying knew that what had just arrived was only the Great Elder's illusion, and his true body should still be inside the Elder's Hall.
"Are you going to give me something? What is it?" Meng Ling dragged her chin and paced back and forth in the cave.
"Alright, since you're so curious, let's go to the Elder Hall now. Besides, I should get back to Konohagakure as soon as possible and bring back the things that the Great Elder gave me before leaving immediately." With that thought, Meng Leng flashed out of his room and rushed towards the Elder Hall on Mount Seirei at incredible speed. This time, however, Meng Leng was walking in mid-air, just like a Shinigami using Shunpo to create an invisible floor in the air.
About five minutes later, Meng Ling came alone to the front of the Elder Hall. She didn't stop and walked in directly.
"Great Elder, I've come. Is there something big going on?" Although Meng Ling was the one who came here for that thing, as soon as she heard the Great Elder's tone, she knew that this time the Great Elder had an ulterior motive.
"Hmm, Xiao Meng Ling arrived so quickly, the speed is quite fast. Alright, time is limited now, I'll simply tell you this: after you leave Sheng Ling Shan, unless you find the remaining 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue' scrolls or we summon you back, you absolutely cannot use the Reverse Spirit Technique to return on your own, do you understand?" The Great Elder said seriously.
"Why?" Upon hearing this sentence, Meng Leng was somewhat perplexed.
"This time after you leave, something extremely important will definitely happen on Mount Shengling. You absolutely cannot come back, and you must bring everything in this box back to Konoha (pointing to a wooden box in front of Meng). However, you absolutely cannot let anyone except yourself know what is inside the box." The Great Elder's expression became even more serious when he said these words.
"Hmm, I see. Then I'd like to ask, what's inside this big box?" Meng Ling picked up the box from the ground and carefully examined it in front of her eyes.
"You just take a look yourself, as long as you input your own mixed yuan divine power into the box, you can open this box." The Great Elder was still very serious. It made Meng Leng wonder if the "old-fashioned" old man in front of him was actually the kind and gentle Great Elder he had known before.
"Oh, I see." Although she said so with her mouth, Meng Ling still followed the method instructed by the Great Elder and input a thread of Chaotic Origin Divine Power into the small box.
"Ka...ba..." A crisp joint sound rang out, and Meng Ling finally saw what was inside the box.
"This...this is..." Meng Ling looked at what was left in the box in her hand and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Inside the small box, there were several items: a solid black armband, a bracelet set with four red gemstones, a pair of blue gemstone earrings, an emerald ring, a purple crescent-shaped diamond brooch and a white star-shaped hair clip.
However, these are not the things that make Meng Ling surprised. What really makes Meng Ling so surprised is the huge energy contained in these small things. After cultivating the Hunyuan God Force, Meng Ling felt that the energy contained in these small 'ornaments' was like the vast and boundless universe, as if it were the endless cycle of reincarnation, and the depth was unparalleled.
"Let me tell you something..." The elder stood up, slowly walked to Meng's front, and took out the black arm ring from the wooden box.
"This arm ring is called the Black Jade of Descent, it's a divine artifact that can enhance your right hand strength." The elder then pulled up Meng Ling's right hand and put the arm ring on her right wrist. Then he picked up the red bracelet again.
"This bracelet is called the Expulsion Red Jade, it's a divine artifact that can set up an absolute defense shield on your left wrist as its center." After saying that, he put this red bracelet on Meng Leng's left wrist. Then picked up that pair of blue earrings.
"This pair of earrings is called the Blue Jade of the Galaxy, a divine artifact that can instantly cover you with a suit of armor. The three strongest suits of armor inside are the Holy Spirit Light Armor, the Death Spirit Dark Armor, and the Blood Spirit Divine Armor. As long as you use the power of chaos to activate it, you can switch between these armors."
The Great Elder smiled and touched Dreaming's ears with a brush, and suddenly saw that Dreaming, who originally didn't have pierced ears, had a pair of earrings with blue gemstones on her ears. At this time, the Great Elder picked up the cyan ring from the box again.
"This ring is called the Azure Jade of the Heavenly Sky, inside it contains the sacred artifacts collected by the generations of Shengling Mountain. Your Tianyu Sword is also in there, and its usage is the same as the Blue Jade of the Milky Way." The elder helped Meng Ling put on the ring with a blue hexagonal gemstone on her left middle finger. Then he picked up the purple crescent-shaped brooch.
"This brooch is called the Cycle of Purple Jade, its function is to store all items, whether they are living or non-living, can exist inside. Moreover, the time inside can be decided by yourself, it's a space-time divine artifact." As he spoke, the Great Elder pinned this brooch on Meng Leng's left chest, a white robe with a purple crescent-shaped brooch, still very good-looking.
"Finally, this is the hairpin, it's called Sacred White Jade, a divine artifact that can withstand spiritual attacks. With this on you, you shouldn't have to fear spiritual attacks anymore, I know this has always been your greatest weakness." Da Rong smiled as he pinned the white hairpin onto Meng Leng's hair.
"Is this true? So this is what it means to 'hear the words of the Great Elder'...". Meng Le was shocked, and at the same time, her heart was extremely excited. She knew that if she really had these things, then in the world of Fire Shadow Ninjas, she could truly walk sideways.
"To be honest, anyone, no, any cultivator would dream of having these special divine artifacts on you, and I'm no exception. However, these divine artifacts can only be used by someone who has cultivated the 'Tian Dao Jiu Duan' and obtained the Hunyuan divine power, like you." The Great Elder said seriously.
"Is it because these divine artifacts can only be activated by the mixed yuan divine power within me?" Meng Ling already had an answer in her heart.
"Not bad, but you haven't shed blood to acknowledge ownership yet. You must do this one thing well in order to truly master these divine artifacts." As he spoke, the elder's right hand made a slashing motion, and suddenly several drops of golden-glowing blood appeared on Meng Leng's right fingertips. The elder looked at Meng Leng's golden-glowing blood, his expression stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. His left hand slightly raised, and the few drops of blood flew onto the surface of the six divine artifacts, gradually dissolving into them.
At the same time, the six divine artifacts that were originally worn on Meng Ling's body, which seemed somewhat mismatched, gradually transformed to a degree suitable for Meng Ling. Take the ring called Qing Tian's Cyan Jade as an example. Originally, Meng Ling couldn't wear it because it was too big, but after Meng Ling's blood recognition, the ring actually shrunk to a size that fit perfectly on her left middle finger, which also surprised Meng Ling.
"It seems those divine artifacts inside really exist." Dreaming of Leng thought to herself.
"Alright, finally in order to prevent these divine artifacts from being exposed outside, the Dragon God has especially made this for you..." As he spoke, the Great Elder took out a completely black arm guard and a white wrist wrap.
"What is this?" Meng Ling looked at the thing in Da Chang Lao's hand, feeling a bit puzzled. But she knew that the abilities of these things were absolutely not simple.
"These are the Dark Golden Armguard and the Emerald Crystal Gauntlets. Although they only increase the defensive capabilities of your left hand and the attacking capabilities of your right hand, these two divine artifacts have a special effect." The Great Elder raised one finger.
"Huh? Special ability? What is it?" Meng Ling asked curiously.
"It can hide the aura of any divine artifact, making it absolutely impossible for enemies to know that you have many divine artifacts on your body." The Great Elder said calmly.
"If it's really like this, then Elder, I have a question." Meng Ling raised her head and looked at the serious-looking Elder, saying slowly.
"What's wrong?" The elder was taken aback for a moment.
"Last time I asked you a question, I asked how many people had cultivated the 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue', and you told me it was four. So which four seniors successfully cultivated it?" Meng Ling asked with sparkling eyes.
"What's this about?" The elder hesitated for a moment before telling Meng Ling about the predecessors who had cultivated the "Tian Dao Jiu Jue".
