Chapter 1130: Divine Abilities
Su Chen simply couldn't dare to recall the process just now; the pain he endured was countless times more difficult than ever before!
He had no idea that these seemingly ordinary ten steps could be so terrifying!
He didn't even know how he managed to get through!
However, at this moment, he felt a kind of satisfying joy!
Because he succeeded!
At that moment, he glanced downward, and Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming were looking at him with extreme worry!
"Su Chen, how are you?"
Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming asked in unison as they saw Su Chen looking over.
Just now, Su Chen had vomited a lot of blood, clearly indicating that his situation was not optimistic; naturally, they were very worried!
Su Chen originally wanted to speak but found he temporarily couldn't utter a single word!
He could only manage to smile at both of them, indicating he could still hold on...
After a while, Su Chen finally spoke to the two of them:
"Try it yourselves; see if you can come up now."
The oppressive force around him had vanished, but he wasn't sure if Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming would encounter it upon ascending, so he asked them to give it a try!
Upon hearing this, Lan Xinyi walked towards the steps, but as soon as she stepped onto them, she felt the same oppressive force and impact as before!
"It's still not possible!"
Lan Xinyi shook her head and said to Su Chen:
"You go in alone; we'll wait for you here!"
Su Chen immediately understood; it wasn't that the oppressive force had completely disappeared, but that he had overcome all the steps and completed the trial!
"Alright then, wait for me!"
Su Chen said, not believing there was another way into the palace; otherwise, the test of the steps would be unnecessary!
After speaking, Su Chen turned and walked into the palace, his heart filled with anticipation, having gone through such difficulties to reach this point!
Upon entering, he discovered the space inside was quite large, and the lighting was adequate!
On the main platform of the palace, there was a high pedestal; besides a long desk, there was nothing else!
Yet, the palace's surroundings were opulent, contrasting sharply with the ruins they had encountered before!
However, Su Chen was not focused on the decorations; upon entering, he sensed an exceptionally dense Yuan Qi!
Its richness surpassed even the large Gathering Yuan Formation he had set up!
Su Chen followed the direction of the Yuan Qi emission and arrived at a corner where there were two small boxes, seemingly the source of the Yuan Qi!
Su Chen first opened one box, and upon doing so, he was utterly shocked!
Because inside the small box were various Spirit Fruits and some elixirs!
Once he saw the contents of the box, Su Chen's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance!
Su Chen picked up each item and examined them; some he recognized, but there were others unfamiliar to him!
Unquestionably, these were very precious treasures, comparable to the Jade Spirit Pill, or even more valuable!
Then Su Chen opened another small box, and this time he was completely awe-struck!
Spirit Stones, an entire box full of Spirit Stones!
Though the box was about the same size as the previous one, it held some two to three hundred Spirit Stones!
That's not the key point; the key is the quality of these Spirit Stones was exceptionally high!
The Yuan Qi contained within these Spirit Stones was far superior to any Su Chen had obtained before—it was simply incomparable!
The value of each Spirit Stone was enormous!
He always felt he lacked cultivation resources, having none! But now, suddenly having so many resources felt like overnight wealth!
Su Chen did not hesitate, directly placing all the items into the Cangyue Ring, as if someone might compete for them!
Luckily, he had the Cangyue Ring, or else it would be inconvenient to transport them!
Quickly enough, those two boxes were emptied entirely!
Su Chen then took another round to see if there might still be treasure hidden somewhere!
Su Chen believed that reaching this point meant treasures wouldn't be hidden too deeply, given they had already passed several checkpoints!
If it were someone else, they wouldn't even reach this point!
Firstly, there's no breaking through that formation, meaning the Stone Chamber couldn't be found, the mechanism wouldn't be triggered, and definitely not descended!
The most crucial was the terrifying stair test!
At this stage, what reason would there be to hide anything?
Truth be told, Su Chen vaguely felt that the ten-layer stair test was about testing steadfast will and character. Cultivation was secondary!
No matter how strong one's cultivation, as long as the mind has even a slight instability, one probably wouldn't succeed!
Just then, Su Chen suddenly discovered that on the desk below the high pedestal in the palace's main position, a purple light cluster appeared!
"Hmm, what is that?"
Su Chen murmured curiously to himself and then walked over to the platform, quickly reaching the desk's side!
The purple light cluster hovered in front of him, extremely dazzling!
Curiously and cautiously, Su Chen stretched his hand towards the light cluster but felt nothing!
How did a light cluster suddenly appear?
Su Chen was very puzzled and curious!
At that moment, the light cluster slowly vanished, and unexpectedly, a jade slip appeared in Su Chen's hand!
Su Chen didn't even know how the jade slip ended up in his hand, nor where it came from!
Su Chen felt like the purple light cluster had been absorbed by the jade slip!
Not help but studying the glistening jade slip!
"Boom!"
At this moment, the jade slip suddenly released a purple glow that shot into Su Chen's mind!
"Thousand Hand Seal!"
A segment of profound information suddenly flashed in Su Chen's mind, and he exclaimed!
Fortunately, he had already experienced information from the previous three cultivation techniques appearing in his mind, so he quickly calmed down and carefully examined the sudden information!
Thousand Hand Seal—Divine Abilities!
The first line of information Su Chen saw was this!
Afterwards was the introduction of the Thousand Hand Seal and its cultivation method, quite complex!
In his mind, Su Chen continued exploring, instantly feeling joyous!
It turns out the Thousand Hand Seal is a martial skill, and a very powerful one!
Upon starting, a single palm strike can form three palm prints, each capable of being real or illusory, entirely controlled by thoughts!
He couldn't help but think: In actual combat, using this martial skill, opponents would never know which palm print is real—how could they defend against it?
Suppressing his excitement, Su Chen continued reading the information in his mind, growing increasingly exhilarated!
