Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone Chapter 976 726: Ancient Altar

PS: Today's update is a bit short, I will update more tomorrow.

...

Ahead stood an ancient altar, its diameter spanning roughly ten zhang and its height exceeding one zhang, towering majestically. Runes pulsed with immortal Qi upon its surface, while anomalies shimmered above, hinting at the ephemeral shadow of the Immortal Realm and unfolding profound mysteries.

Platforms constructed from Five-Colored Soil encircled the altar, upon which offerings were arranged, suggesting a veneration of some primordial entity.

Approaching the altar, Lu Xuanji employed a Secret Technique, manifesting a colossal hand to seize it.

Instantly, the altar pulsed with a hum and settled into his palm.

He channeled his magical power to refine it; the ancient runes awakened, transforming and condensing until the altar was reduced to the size of a fist.

A thread of his Origin Essence Blood was then applied to the altar, initiating the refinement process.

The altar shifted and gradually yielded to the complete refinement.

Upon finalizing the altar's refinement, Lu Xuanji probed its essence and discovered a singular, high-grade array within. Intertwined arrays flickered and morphed, revealing supreme mysteries.

The array's intricacies surpassed comprehension.

A mere glimpse induced a dizzying sensation.

His expression vacant, Lu Xuanji subconsciously ceased his exploration.

His cultivation was insufficient to delve into such advanced arrays.

Matters exceeding one's capacity were best left unexplored.

His Divine Thought probed the altar, and information flooded his consciousness, confirming the altar's designation.

The altar was named the Origin Altar.

Its grade remained unknown.

The Origin Altar could transmute Spirit Medicine or Spirit Stones into Origin Qi. Absorbing this Origin Qi would aid in refining the Primordial Spirit and physique, continuously enhancing talent and the upper limit of potential, thereby greatly benefiting future cultivation.

This Origin Altar had once belonged to the Purple Mansion Immortal King.

In his youth, the Purple Mansion Immortal King possessed unremarkable talent, comprehension, and aptitude – merely average. Without extraordinary fortune, reaching the Golden Core realm would have been the zenith of his achievements.

However, through an unexpected encounter, he obtained the Origin Altar.

Utilizing the altar's power, he refined Origin Qi, remolding himself, elevating his talent and comprehension, and steadily advancing his cultivation until he attained the status of a Void Refining powerhouse.

Nevertheless, the Origin Altar possessed a limitation.

Specifically, once a cultivator's talent reached the level required for the Void Refining realm, the altar could no longer offer further enhancement.

Upon achieving Void Refining, the Purple Mansion Immortal King deemed the Origin Altar redundant. He relegated it to his Treasure Vault, leaving it within his Cave Mansion upon his ascension.

"Enhancing a cultivator's talent... it bears a resemblance to my Heaven Mending Cauldron!"

Lu Xuanji mused, a peculiar light gleaming in his eyes.

How crucial was talent on the path of cultivating immortality?

Immensely so.

Many cultivators with Five Spirit Roots struggled their entire lives, failing even to reach Foundation Establishment. Those without Spirit Roots remained ordinary mortals. Yet, individuals with Celestial Spirit Roots needed only minimal effort to attain the Golden Core.

Numerous major Sects and influential forces had established specialized facilities to augment cultivators' talent, thereby expanding their potential.

Of course, these enhancements had their boundaries.

His Heaven Mending Cauldron, for instance, was a Ninth Grade Spirit Treasure. The Heaven Mending Qi it generated could transform ordinary physiques into supreme Spirit Bodies, with no discernible bottlenecks until the Nascent Soul stage.

Beyond the Divinity Transformation stage, however, it exceeded the Heaven Mending Cauldron's capabilities.

Without further deliberation, he promptly stored the Heaven Mending Altar.

His movements swift, he continued his advance.

Proceeding onward, he reached a stone gateway. This was no ordinary gateway fashioned from mountain rock; it was forged from a unique Immortal Gold, robust and unyielding. The mere existence of this stone gate represented a significant boon.

Bang bang!

His long saber struck, reverberating as the arrays upon it were dispelled. The steadfastly shut stone gate slowly creaked open...

Just as Lu Xuanji prepared to enter, he instinctively paused. A potent wave of energy erupted from beyond the stone gate, striking his form directly. Immediately, myriad runes on his person flared, coalescing into a dark golden Gang Qi shield that materialized before him, abruptly nullifying the assault.

Crossing the threshold of the stone gate, he surveyed the chamber. Apart from a White Jade Table at its center, the space was otherwise vacant.

He approached the table and found a White Jade Box resting there. Upon opening it, a Token intricately engraved with words that were difficult to comprehend was revealed.

A slight frown creased Lu Xuanji's brow as he instinctively reached for his phone to perform a search.

He confirmed that the inscriptions were indeed ancient immortal texts, remnants from a long-lost era within the Purple Mansion World, starkly different from the modern immortal script used today.

The long chronicle of the Purple Mansion World had witnessed numerous upheavals and the passage of many eras, leading to significant divergences between ancient and contemporary scripts. The text before him hailed from an exceedingly ancient period.

"This is the Purple Mansion Order..."

As he deciphered these three characters, Lu Xuanji felt a surge of surprise.

The situation struck him as rather improbable.

In his imagination, acquiring the Purple Mansion Order would have involved a perilous escapade, a desperate battle fought to the death, and only then, perhaps, its attainment.

Alternatively, he envisioned a scenario where even after facing death numerous times, the Purple Mansion Order remained elusive.

Yet, here he was, obtaining it with such ease, an outcome that felt unfathomable and difficult to accept.

He held the Token in his hand and channeled his magical power into it, sensing an energy radiating outwards. However, the deeper formations seemed to require more power than he currently possessed; his cultivation level appeared too low to activate such a Grand Array.

"The Purple Mansion Order?"

Lu Xuanji mused, promptly tucking the Token away into his Grotto Heaven and suppressing its aura.

Still feeling a sense of unease, he proceeded to erect the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Array, securing it and concealing its emitted aura to evade external detection.

Following this, he exited the chamber, the surreal nature of his experience leaving him feeling as though he were still caught in a dream.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, the void resonated with a deafening roar, and the entire palace began to violently tremble. Countless beams of treasure light flickered and shone, manifesting as knives, swords, gourds, Tokens, clothing, battle armor, and a multitude of other treasures that transformed into streams of light, drifting through the void.

As these resplendent lights danced, a great rumbling emanated from the palace, causing it to directly explode.

At that precise moment, a woman materialized in the void. Her feet were bare, she was attired in red, and an ancient, domineering aura radiated from her. This was none other than Shi Yan.

Shi Yan executed a Seal Technique, activating the Treasure Collection Technique, which caused numerous treasures to stir and take flight.

The scroll suspended above her head pulsed, and an endless stream of treasures poured out, converging into the scroll.
