Chapter 1229: Xuanhuang Essence, Revived (3)
"Remember, only a single consciousness can be imprinted on the Xuanhuang Essence," the silver-robed figure cautioned, his gaze penetrating. "Your two true selves share one consciousness, allowing simultaneous cultivation. However, should you be completely annihilated, the Xuanhuang Essence might fall into another's possession. I believe those Dao Zenithels would hunger desperately for such an ultimate treasure.
"Anyone below the level of Grand Supreme can claim ownership," he continued. "Only Grand Supremes, whose self-created Daos grow too powerful for the Xuanhuang Essence to contain, cannot use it to grant their mana and ether bodies Eternal Psyches.
"I strongly advise against spreading knowledge of this treasure," the silver-robed figure warned. "Refrain from cultivating it until you've established your Saint Realms and are fully capable of concealing the threads of destiny and spacetime. Otherwise, you risk exposing yourself."
"This junior understands," Wu Yuan replied, tension gripping his heart.
He suddenly realized the significance of the silver-robed figure’s earlier mention of Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu and the Heavenly Imperator; it indicated that he had comprehensive knowledge of the current situation in the cosmic sea. Yet he still counseled Wu Yuan against using the Xuanhuang Essence until he was capable of protecting himself.
If Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu learned of this treasure, she would undoubtedly covet it. Wu Yuan thought to himself.
To Dao Zenithels, the Xuanhuang Essence likely held even greater allure than Xuanhuang Dao Treasures. Possessing it meant being able to deploy peak combat power recklessly without fear of true death.
I must ensure this remains an absolute secret. Wu Yuan resolved. Upon my return, I'll refrain from cultivating it until I step into eternity and open my Saint Realm.
It wasn't that he distrusted Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu. Rather, the human heart was naturally vulnerable to temptation. The wisest approach was to avoid such temptation entirely.
"Senior, may I inquire about the second major function?" Wu Yuan asked respectfully.
"The second effect will be revealed when the time arrives," the silver-robed figure replied enigmatically. "Knowing it early on would hinder rather than help your cultivation journey."
"Hinder rather than help?" Wu Yuan was taken aback. What could be so mysterious?
