Chapter 65 The Tomb of Bibi Dong?!
Inside the luxury suite on the top floor of the Tianhai Hotel.
Lu Xingchen lay sprawled on the large presidential bed, the silky sheets clinging to his skin, providing ultimate comfort.
He closed his eyes slightly, let out a long sigh, and murmured, "It's finally over."
The celebration banquet for the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament was a grand feast of networking.
Lu Xingchen quietly completed his initial plan at the banquet, not only bringing the powerful and influential people of Tianhai City under his control, but also taking the opportunity to eliminate the potential threat of the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie.
The initial team building has yielded results, and now he can finally relax and enjoy a moment of peace.
As for the small hotel he had stayed in before, he had long forgotten about it. Compared to the hotel's cramped space and rudimentary facilities, the comfort and convenience of the Tianhai Hotel were undoubtedly more attractive.
Although the hotel rooms were already sold out during the competition and were in high demand, Lu Xingchen, as the champion of the youth group of blacksmiths, had privileges that were hard for ordinary people to imagine.
When he expressed his intention to check in to the hotel front desk, the manager, after verifying his identity, immediately stepped in to coordinate and prepared a presidential suite that had been reserved for him. He respectfully handed him the room key and treated him with the utmost courtesy throughout the process.
As his fingertips unconsciously traced the smooth surface of the bed, Lu Xingchen's mind involuntarily conjured up Mu Xi's pretty face with a blush.
When he told everyone that they were going to check into a hotel, the girl was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then, as if she had made a huge decision, blushed and extended an invitation to him: "Actually, my family also owns several properties in Tianhai City, and we have spare rooms. Would you like to come and stay with us?"
To make the invitation even more enticing, Mu Xi added, "My dad's friend had to temporarily leave one of his cats with us the other day because of some unforeseen circumstances. That cat is really interesting; it can not only stand up, but it can also do backflips! It's currently staying in my room. Do you want to come and see it?"
When the girl said this, her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and the blush on her cheeks was like that of a ripe apple, making her incredibly adorable.
To be honest, Lu Xingchen was indeed quite curious about the cat that could do backflips, but splitting into multiple virtual personalities had taken a toll on his mental energy, and he felt dizzy and needed to rest.
In the end, he politely declined Mu Xi's offer and chose to check into the hotel alone.
"I'll see that cat another time," Lu Xingchen murmured softly, slowly closing her eyes and letting her body sink into the soft bed, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
After resting for about half an hour, his mental energy gradually recovered and became abundant. A peculiar thought, like a tender sprout breaking through the soil, quietly grew in Lu Xingchen's mind.
Now that he has reached Sequence Four, is it possible for him to create extraordinary items himself?
"The sealed artifacts that appeared before were basically products that appeared randomly under the influence of the Chaos Sea."
I've already reached Sequence Four, so simply invoking the power of the "Chaotic Sea" shouldn't be difficult.
Acting on his thoughts has always been Lu Xingchen's style. He abruptly sat up straight on the bed and began his experiment.
An hour later.
"It works!"
After some experimentation, Lu Xingchen discovered that the plan was indeed feasible. By using his own blood as a guide, he could direct the power of the Chaos Sea to a certain item, making it a sealed object.
However, this process is also full of unknowns. Although sealed objects can be created, their specific abilities are unknown, which has led to the creation of many strange things.
【Level 3 Sealed Item: 3-041】Erotic Magazine
[Ability: "The Power of Eroticism"—The publication contains a wealth of subtle yet highly seductive information. Once viewed, the viewer's mind will be firmly captivated, unable to extricate themselves, unconsciously immersing themselves in reading page after page.]
[Negative effects: It strongly arouses the viewer's emotions, causing a surge in hormones and putting them in a mild state of arousal. This may lead to a surge of bold and inappropriate thoughts, and impair their rationality to some extent.]
Things like the one above are utterly useless; aside from creating unnecessary trouble, they have almost no practical use and are complete failures.
Of course, there are good things as well as bad things.
For example, like the one in front of him, Lu Xingchen picked up the pendant in his hand and assessed its abilities using the "0-02" method:
[Level 1 Sealed Item: 1-002] Teleportation Pendant
[Ability: "Instant Teleportation" - Each activation consumes only 100 points of mental energy, requires no warm-up, and allows the user to perform unlimited spatial jumps without any cooldown time.]
[Negative effect: For those who are lost, the landing location of spatial jumps is completely random and there is no pattern to follow.]
It's possible to remain in the same spot after a jump, or it could instantly appear tens of thousands of meters in the air, at the bottom of the deep sea, in volcanic lava, or even in other dimensions; it could appear anywhere.
That's right, this thing is an improved version of the level eight soul tool "Teleportation Pendant" that Duan Xuan gave him.
The original teleportation pendant could only teleport short distances within a kilometer range, and had a cooldown time of up to ten minutes.
For ordinary Soul Masters, this might be a rare life-saving artifact, but for Lu Xingchen, who has already reached the Spirit Domain Realm and can teleport by manipulating spatial elements, it is rather useless.
If faced with an opponent capable of disrupting spatial fluctuations, this pendant would be utterly useless, like scrap metal. That's precisely why he didn't hesitate to use it as experimental material.
Unexpectedly, the results of the renovation were so amazing!
With no distance restrictions and no cooldown time, each activation only consumes 100 points of mental energy, which is almost equivalent to unlimited use for Lu Xingchen, whose mental energy is as high as 46,000 points.
In his view, the negative effect of "random landing location" was not a drawback, but rather contained enormous potential.
"The landing site is unknown, which gives us a lot of room for maneuver!"
Lu Xingchen smiled confidently, then took out a calligraphy brush from his pocket, which was the "0-01 Writer's Brush".
This sealed artifact possesses the terrifying ability to alter reality and determine cause and effect, which perfectly compensates for the teleportation pendant's shortcomings.
Lu Xingchen held the number "0-01" and slowly wrote it in the void. Golden characters appeared like flowing light:
[Lu Xingchen will next use the "1-002" teleportation pendant. The teleportation location will be the current room floor. The process is safe and the holder will not be harmed.]
The moment the command was written, "0-01" emitted a faint light, then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, Lu Xingchen could clearly feel that his mental energy was being consumed, amounting to about 100g of his mental energy, which was negligible.
"here we go."
Lu Xingchen silently recited the command in his mind, and with a thought, activated the teleportation pendant.
"Buzz—"
'
As 100 points of mental energy were consumed, the teleportation pendant suddenly burst out with a dazzling silver light, and a powerful spatial force enveloped Lu Xingchen's body.
He felt a blur before his eyes, and his body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, passing through a thin membrane-like barrier. The next second, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and his feet landed firmly on the solid floor.
"Om one"
As the silver light faded, Lu Xingchen stood on the floor of the room, looked down at his feet, then looked up at the bed he had just been lying on, a satisfied smile on his face.
"It really works."
He felt his body was in good condition and had no discomfort. His total mental energy consumption was 110 points, which was exactly as expected.
This experiment was flawless.
"Each sealed item has its own advantages and disadvantages, but as long as they can be used flexibly and cooperate with each other, the so-called disadvantages can be transformed into irreplaceable advantages." Lu Xingchen played with the pendant in his hand.
Without the assistance of the "0-01 Writer's Pen," this teleportation pendant is indeed an extremely risky sealing artifact, as the unknown landing location could pose a deadly danger.
But as long as you can use "0-01" to lock in the location in advance and avoid risks, it becomes a real magic tool.
With its instant teleportation ability that has no cooldown, low consumption, and no distance limit, it has unparalleled advantages whether used for traveling, avoiding danger, ambushing, or evacuating, making it a true "travel artifact".
"Speaking of which, since this pendant can teleport me anywhere, can it take me to treasure lands like Dragon Valley Minor World or the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
Another new idea popped into Lu Xingchen's mind uncontrollably, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
With the ability of "0-01", as long as specific content is written well, it seems that entering these places is really not difficult.
"The dragon bones of the Dragon Valley Small World, the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the dragon soul and bones of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings—these are all valuable items."
Lu Xingchen stroked his chin, suppressing the restless thoughts in his heart for the time being. He decided to deal with the problem of the soul spirit first.
His second soul needs a large amount of dark and evil energy as its foundation, but the concept of "large amount" is too vague, and no one can define the specific amount. Only by collecting as many relevant resources as possible can the soul be successfully born.
Dark-attribute treasures are relatively easy to find, and they occasionally circulate in major auction houses and black markets, but items with evil attributes are extremely taboo.
Lu Xingchen raised his hand and picked up the "0-01" Destiny Notebook, originally intending to write down instructions directly to search for the specific location of dark and evil attribute treasures.
But when the specially made brush touched the paper, he inexplicably changed his mind. The brush tip slowly glided across the paper, writing down a completely different instruction:
[Lu Xingchen will next use the "1-002" teleportation pendant to transport him to a place rich in dark and evil treasures. This place is safe; Lu Xingchen will arrive safely and unharmed.]
After finishing writing, Lu Xingchen frowned as he looked at the words in his notebook.
This instruction is too vague. It does not specify a particular location, nor does it limit the level or quantity of the treasure. Given the characteristics of "0-01", such a vague instruction should be difficult to take effect.
He wrote it this way mainly out of a sudden flash of inspiration, and he wasn't really sure if it would succeed.
"Perhaps it should be written in more detail."
Lu Xingchen was preparing to modify the instructions when he suddenly felt his mental energy draining away like a flood breaking through a dam. In the blink of an eye, a full one-tenth of it was consumed.
"Damn, it actually worked!"
Lu Xingchen blinked. He knew very well that if the written instructions were invalid, "0-01" would never have consumed his mental energy. Now that his mental energy was inexplicably flowing away, it meant that this seemingly vague instruction had actually worked!
However, before the surprise had faded, a strong sense of unease welled up inside me.
The rate at which his mental energy was being depleted far exceeded his expectations: two-tenths, three-tenths, four-tenths...
In just a few breaths, nearly half of his mental energy was consumed before it gradually calmed down.
Lu Xingchen rubbed his forehead, gently shaking his groggy head, utterly shocked: "It actually consumed 23,000 points of my spiritual energy in one go! This teleportation location is definitely not simple!"
It should be noted that his current mental strength is as high as 46,000 points, far exceeding the 20,000 points of an ordinary Limit Douluo.
This was the first time he had ever used so much mental energy since he started using "0-01".
"Could it be that I'm being teleported to some independent, smaller dimension?" A thought popped into his mind.
According to records in the Soul Guidance Network, minor planes are unstable spaces that depend on the main world for their existence, like satellites of the main world.
These smaller planes vary in form; some are filled with violent energy, while others contain abundant minerals and rare treasures. Some even retain relics and traditions from ancient times.
Super powers like the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Sect, and War God Temple are able to continuously acquire resources and maintain their strength precisely because they control several smaller planes.
"With my current strength, even if I accidentally wander into some dangerous small dimension, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get out unscathed."
Lu Xingchen quickly calmed down and began to analyze the advantages.
He is a Sequence Four Manipulator from the Audience Path, and his mental strength has reached the advanced level of the Spirit Realm. He also has many sealed artifacts in hand, so ordinary dangers can't do anything to him.
Moreover, "0-01" has already promised the safety of the teleportation location, so there shouldn't be any life-threatening situations.
However, out of caution, Lu Xingchen did not immediately activate the teleportation. He sat cross-legged on the carpet, circulated his cultivation technique, and began to recover his depleted mental energy.
Half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes. The spiritual power in his spiritual sea had returned to its peak state, and the abundant power gave him a boost of confidence.
Lu Xingchen picked up the teleportation pendant and took a deep breath: "Let's begin."
As he focused his mind, he channeled one hundred points of spiritual energy into the pendant, causing the spatial patterns on its surface to burst forth with a dazzling silver light.
A spatial force even stronger than before enveloped his body, and the surrounding air began to distort and fold, forming a huge spatial vortex.
Lu Xingchen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, passing through layers of spatial barriers at a speed beyond imagination.
"Buzz"
After an unknown amount of time, the pull of spatial power suddenly disappeared, the silver light dissipated, and Lu Xingchen's figure landed steadily on the solid ground.
"Is this our destination?"
Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and first spread his mental energy out like a tide, enveloping the surroundings and being vigilant against any possible danger.
At the same time, he finally saw what this unfamiliar world looked like.
A golden sun hung in the sky, but its light was not warm and gentle; instead, it carried an eerie heat, shining on the earth and making the air dry and stuffy.
The land beneath their feet was not the brown or black commonly found in the main world, but rather a deep purplish-black. The soil seemed to contain some kind of viscous energy, emanating a faint fishy stench and a chilling aura.
The golden sunlight contrasted sharply with the purplish-black earth, creating an extremely eerie and oppressive scene.
"Something seems off about this little world."
Lu Xingchen frowned slightly. He could sense that the dark and evil energy within this small world was far more vast and pure than he had imagined. It was practically an "energy treasure trove" tailor-made for his second soul spirit.
But besides the power of darkness and evil, there also seems to be the power of light and holiness, as well as some other things.
Just then, his gaze was drawn to the scene two hundred meters ahead.
There stood three one-meter-high "stone tablets," all black with some indistinct patterns engraved on their surfaces, reflecting a cold luster under the golden sunlight.
"This is?"
Lu Xingchen's heart stirred, and he stepped forward, concentrating his mental energy on the three "stone tablets" to examine them carefully.
As he got closer, he was shocked to discover that they were not stone tablets at all, but three ancient-looking tombstones full of the vicissitudes of time!
The three tombstones are arranged in a "品" shape. They are made of neither stone nor jade, but have a cold, hard metallic texture. Their surfaces are covered with signs of weathering, as if they have stood here for countless years.
When Lu Xingchen's gaze fell on the tombstone in the middle, his pupils contracted slightly.
In the very center of the tombstone, five large characters were clearly engraved in an ancient and vigorous script: The Tomb of Bibi Dong!
