Guan Yue had not flown back for long when he saw thousands of Disciples rushing towards the bottom of the Great Path. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking, "So many people are here to seek treasures. Will I be able to gain even a little? Perhaps I should listen to Gao Yuxin and try my luck."
Under Gao Yuxin's guidance, Guan Yue turned left at a fork in the road and entered a very secluded path. At this moment, Gao Yuxin spoke again: "Brother Guan, if you charge towards the red wall ahead, you can enter the Instrumental Tomb here. There are quite a few good things inside."
Guan Yue looked ahead and indeed saw a red wall. He activated his Origin Energy and charged towards the wall, only to find himself falling directly to the ground. It turned out that the wall was an illusion; he could simply step forward to pass through it, something even Gao Yuxin had not noticed.
Guan Yue looked back and realized it was a simple illusion, but placed here, it was difficult to detect. He made a mental note of this use of the Mysterious Array.
This might have been the original passage, but after adding the Mysterious Array, it became hard for people to notice.
"This door is so marvelous; how did you discover it?" Guan Yue asked in surprise.
"Using sonar reflection. It's quite simple to distinguish," Gao Yuxin replied dismissively.
Guan Yue was speechless and could only silently walk towards the Subtomb.
The Subtomb was also very magnificent, surrounded by intricately carved beams and painted pillars, with pavilions and towers. In the center of the tomb stood many grand buildings that emitted bursts of golden light. Curious, Guan Yue approached one of the Buildings and found that there were indeed many weapons arranged inside, gleaming brilliantly. There were numerous royal-grade Holy-Level Weapons, and perhaps even divine-level weapons arranged in an orderly manner, exuding a strong Fighting Spirit. Guan Yue's heart raced.
Just as he reached out to grab one, he felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, rendering him unable to move. He had no choice but to give up and slowly retreat. The restrictions on those weapons were beyond what a small Guan Yue could currently removed.
He could only search around to see if there was anything he could move, but even a stool was beyond his capability. He inwardly admired Dark Overlord Dansen Ruda; this fellow had made even the tomb so sturdy—what a terrifying figure he must have been in life.
Though feeling frustrated inside, there was nothing he could do but say to Gao Yuxin, "Let's go check out other tombs; I can't move anything here."
Gao Yuxin suggested, "Brother Guan, you can take the two golden leaves on the door of the middle room. I think they should be removable."
Guan Yue smiled, "With so many weapons unable to be extracted, I can only play with these two golden leaves in this place filled with Vermilion Jade and gold." Guan Yue approached the golden leaves, and suddenly, two beams of golden light shot out from them, directly aimed at his eyes. Guan Yue quickly reached for the golden leaves while channeling all his strength to suppress the light. He knew these two golden leaves must be valuable; Gao Yuxin had a good eye!
However, at that moment, Guan Yue found that he was unable to mobilize his Nine Pulse Will. He could only use the power of Mental Cage.
Guan Yue was even more surprised. He exerted maximum force in his punches and unleashed his strongest Consciousness Attack and Mental Attack just to barely suppress the brilliance emanating from the golden leaves.
But the attack from the golden leaves did not stop; instead, it sent a strong beam of golden light towards Guan Yue's hands, causing blood to flow profusely from his palms.
Guan Yue stepped back in alarm but felt no unusual sensations within him. He lunged forward again to grab the golden leaves, but they suddenly rushed into his body and disappeared. Following that, the blood on Guan Yue's hands quickly coagulated.
As Guan Yue was in shock, he heard an ancient voice whispering in his ear: "Young man, you are indeed a fated person. My Weapon Vault opens once every hundred years, and only one weapon can be taken each time. You may choose now."
Guan Yue's heart leaped with joy; had he really gained the recognition of the Weapon Vault? Could he truly choose a weapon?
"Yes, young man, you can choose. There are divine artifacts and Celestial Soldiers here for you to select from. However, your cultivation is too low to wield them effectively," the ancient voice seemed to tease Guan Yue.
Guan Yue hesitated greatly. What was a Celestial Soldier? It was a national treasure! The Southern Source Empire only had two divine artifacts and had yet to possess any Celestial Soldiers! If he took one Celestial Soldier, he would be the only person in the Southern Source Empire to own one! But would that be beneficial for him? With a precious item comes danger; perhaps it was better not to choose one. So what should he select instead?
Divine artifact? Sacred Weapon? Imperial-Grade Weapon? Elite-grade weapon? Guan Yue was caught in a dilemma; the dazzling array of weapons made it difficult for him to decide. At this moment, Gao Yuxin remained silent; she rarely interjected in matters requiring decision-making.
"Youth, I see your blood is exceptional and your Mental Strength is very powerful. Moreover, you have already formed a Sea of Awareness; many strong individuals will likely take an interest in you. It would be wise to choose something that can protect yourself. I suggest you select Sky Peak Tower; you can already control it. Furthermore, Sky Peak Tower is a growth-type weapon that will be useful throughout your life." This time, the ancient voice lacked any teasing tone and was sincere instead, causing Guan Yue to feel excited.
"Sky Peak Tower? Was it forged by Master Mo Jiao?" Guan Yue asked. At that moment, he recalled what Senmiyama-senpai had told him; Senmiyama-senpai also had a tower made by Master Mo Jiao: Pinnacle Tower.
"Young man, you know about the Sky Peak Tower, right? Indeed, this Sky Peak Tower is the work of Master Mo Jiao, and it is his representative work with extremely high utility. You cannot refine it right now. Let me help you." With the words of the elderly voice came an astonishing force that forcibly pulled the Sky Peak Tower from the Building. Then, the Sky Peak Tower gradually shrank until it became a dot, slowly disappearing before Guan Yue's eyes.
A realization immediately blossomed in Guan Yue's heart, and he quickly understood the purpose of the Sky Peak Tower.
The elderly voice continued to advise, "Young man, in the future, unless it's an urgent situation, it's best to use the Sky Peak Tower sparingly to avoid inciting greed in others and causing unnecessary trouble."
"I will remember your teachings, sir," Guan Yue bowed in gratitude, feeling very thankful for this old man.
The elderly voice said again, "If everything goes smoothly for you, we will meet again. My name is Wan Lishi."
"Wan Lishi—elder, I will remember you. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you," Guan Yue felt a stirring in his heart as if he had some premonition, but he couldn't grasp it at the moment and could only say this to the old man.
"Go on, explore other repositories; perhaps you will gain more benefits," the elderly voice slowly faded away. Guan Yue immediately sensed that the Sky Peak Tower was now securely existing in a space before his forehead.
At this moment, Guan Yue had no time to ponder further and asked Gao Yuxin, "How do I get to the other repositories?" He already knew from the ancient copper hammer that these several Subtombs were repositories.
Gao Yuxin quickly replied, "You just need to walk straight for fifteen hundred meters, then turn right for a thousand meters, and finally turn left and walk two thousand meters to reach the Source Repository."
Guan Yue promptly followed Gao Yuxin's directions toward the Source Tomb. Between the Weapon Vault and the Source Repository was also a layer of Mysterious Array. When Guan Yue arrived at this layer of Mysterious Array, the Weapon Vault began to rapidly darken. As Guan Yue stepped into the Source Repository, the Weapon Vault suddenly vanished behind him.
Guan Yue was startled and realized he needed to quicken his pace; otherwise, if someone else got ahead of him, he might miss out on benefits. So he hurried into the Source Repository.
The Source Repository was completely different from the Weapon Vault; it was a vast wilderness filled with blooming flowers and vibrant spring scenery all around. High mountains and flowing water created winding paths leading to serene spots, as if entering a tranquil world. Unknown birds flew freely while small animals lived comfortably. It was truly a feast for the eyes.
Guan Yue was momentarily stunned. What could be here? What exactly does Source Repository mean?
Guan Yue could only strive to feel the mysteries of the Source Repository. He knew that the Source Repository must possess the highest level of content, and he had to obtain it!
However, no matter how much Guan Yue tried to sense everything within the Source Repository with his spirit or consciousness, he could not perceive anything. The Source Repository felt like an expansive land, filled only with wind, flowers, and birds. Yet, Guan Yue did not believe that there was nothing within; there must be something.
But how could he discover it?
Time flew by, and Guan Yue's anxious heart gradually calmed down. He suddenly felt that the scenery here was so beautiful that it deserved to be appreciated with care.
Guan Yue once again quieted his mind and listened with his heart. Thus, he immersed his entire being into experiencing this Source Repository.
Indeed, gradually, it felt as if he had stepped into a springtime scene. The mountains greeted him, the waters welcomed him, the wind called out to him, the birds chirped in greeting, and the flowers joyfully said hello. Even small animals came to play by his side. Guan Yue felt that everything here had come alive, as if their existence had been waiting for his arrival.
As a result, Guan Yue began to bloom like a flower, sway like a breeze, soar like a bird, and stand tall like a hill. Suddenly, he realized that this place contained all Seven Elemental Will; could he enhance his Seven Elemental Will here?
At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Guan Yue's mind: if my Nine Pulse Will could merge with the earth and connect with all things, its power would surely be immense.
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui! Yes, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui must have cultivated in this way. She combined Water's Will with all things; her power would surely increase exponentially.
At this time, when Guan Yue communicated with all things in the Source Repository again, he deeply sensed the vast vitality of the earth and its creations. However, there were countless types of Willpower among them; Guan Yue could not communicate with them using a single Willpower alone. Moreover, he was unable to use Nine Pulse Will to engage with them simultaneously.
Thus, Guan Yue could only calmly engage in a spiritual exchange with all things in the Source Repository. After about an hour, he finally gained their true recognition.
