Chapter 617: Rising Yang Meets The Rainbow (II)
"What a pity… If I had a physical body, with just this Metallic Essence and the immortal techniques, I could reach Foundation Establishment Realm within three months and Purple Mansion Realm in six years..." Joy flickered in his brightened eyes as he muttered, "I wonder if there are other similar relics in this world. With just one glance, the rewards would be immeasurable!"
Suppressing his excitement, he silently reminded himself, "Caution… I must remain cautious. Though this Metallic Essence could make me a master strategist in this realm, I am still within the territory of the Golden Core Realm experts. I must tread carefully and proceed slowly."
As he pondered his plans, the murky glow in the sky gradually dispersed, casting down a ray of white light. Lu Jiangxian felt the gradual restoration of the mirror artifact's power. Though his anticipation for the jade buckle had diminished, his heart still stirred with some delight.
"Not only do I have three more talisman seeds, but the Supreme Yin Profound Light has also reached the power of the Purple Mansion Realm!" Lu Jiangxian's eyes gleamed faintly as he gauged the feedback from the world. Though he couldn't fully grasp the level of power associated with the Purple Mansion Realm, based on his past experiences, it likely meant that a direct strike could instantly kill a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.
"The Supreme Yin Profound Light must not be used carelessly..." His gaze lingered on the Bright Yang Metallic Essence before him. With a slight thought, the essence shifted, transforming into a beam of light and manifesting a human face.
This face appeared resolute and commanding, with a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes radiating a dignified masculine charm. However, it was not brutish or aggressive, but rather an inspiring and enthralling presence.
His brows were broad and smooth, and his golden pupils glowed faintly under the shadow of his nose, exuding an air of dominance and cunning.
"Great Ancestor of Wei, Li Qianyuan..." The Bright Yang Essence, passed down through countless years, instinctively displayed the visage of its original owner first. Gradually, the face morphed into that of a pale, slender youth, then shifted rapidly through a series of faces—each belonging to ancient cultivators who had once interacted with the Metallic Essence.
Finally, the sequence slowed and settled on the youthful face of an inexperienced young man.
