Chapter 1317 Star Chessboard
Zhang Xuan did not practice in seclusion all the time. After all, cultivating the seedlings of the Origin Divine Tree did not require seclusion every day.
He only needs to take some high-quality natural treasures and refine them every once in a while.
He possesses seven divine veins, so it doesn't take long for him to refine these high-grade natural treasures. As long as there are sufficient resources, he can complete it successfully.
Previously, the rare treasures he exchanged from Fairy Ling Chen were just enough to meet the needs of refining the seven divine veins.
The seven divine veins will replenish the energy obtained from refining to the flower of the Origin Divine Tree that is parasitic on the fate star. The flower of the Origin Divine Tree will then absorb a large amount of the origin of the laws of heaven and earth for nourishment. In this way, a virtuous circle is formed.
As long as there are enough high-level spiritual materials to continue to supply, Zhang Xuan does not need to worry too much about the growth of the seedlings.
However, Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that although there was no shortage of high-level spiritual materials at present, what about the future?
The resources needed for the growth of the seedling of the Origin Divine Tree are enormous. In the long run, he must collect more high-level treasures from the ancient star battlefield to meet his future cultivation needs.
Fortunately, due to being parasitized by the power of cause and effect, the Dragon Spine Order will not count the high-level treasures he collected in the Ancient Star Battlefield.
This unexpected "loophole" actually allowed Zhang Xuan to freely search for what he needed in the ancient star battlefield.
Even if some items cannot be used temporarily, they can be brought to one's own small world for cultivation in the future just like the original master of the world, thereby enhancing the power of heaven in the small world.
Therefore, during this period of time, Zhang Xuan frequently stepped into the ancient star battlefield to search for high-level treasures.
Relying on his powerful physical cultivation ability, in the conventional area of the ancient star battlefield, as long as he does not enter the ruins of the ancient battlefield, those chaotic space-time turbulence and space cracks cannot pose a fatal threat to him.
But correspondingly, the number of high-level natural treasures that can be collected in conventional areas is scarce, far from comparable to the ruins of ancient battlefields.
After searching the ancient star battlefield for a period of time, Zhang Xuan decided to step into the ruins of the ancient battlefield again, and his target was the one that he had not explored last time.
Although he encountered danger and was possessed by inexplicable causal forces when he explored the ruins of the ancient battlefield last time, he also gained a lot. The Taixu Qingshen Tree and the Taixu Qingshen Mine were both obtained from here.
Moreover, compared with other unfamiliar ancient battlefield ruins, he was more familiar with this explored place.
Adhering to the principle of "it's better to do what is familiar than to do what is new", Zhang Xuan once again stepped into the ruins of the ancient battlefield.
With the shadow of the God of War formed by the force pattern totem leading the way ahead, Zhang Xuan was familiar with the route and soon arrived at the place where he obtained the Taixu Qingshen Mine during his first exploration.
At this time, this place had already been occupied by the power of the chaotic law, and there was no trace of the former Taixu Qingshen Mine and the disappeared "Holy Son".
In such a place filled with chaotic laws and vortexes of time and space, ordinary items cannot survive at all. Only high-level treasures of heaven and earth can resist its erosion.
In fact, Mo Yangzi, Master Jiuli, and Yu Chenzi often work together to explore the ruins of ancient battlefields surrounded by the turbulence of time and space.
But they could only move around on the edge of the ruins. The closer they got to the core area, the stronger the chaotic power of the Dao and the broken space cracks became, far beyond the tolerance of ordinary Void-Refining cultivators.
Even if the three of them let the mechanical puppets in the Refining Void Realm lead the way, it would be difficult to penetrate into the core area.
Only a physical cultivator like Zhang Xuan, who can condense the phantom of the God of War, has the opportunity to go deep into the core of the ancient battlefield.
The more core the area, the more likely it is to discover rare and high-quality natural treasures, and the harvest will be greater.
Zhang Xuan also possesses the Tianshu Famu. Although the effectiveness of the Tianshu Famu is greatly reduced in the core area of the Chaos Dao, he can still see the scenes within hundreds of miles around him. This greatly helps him search for high-level treasures in the core of the ancient battlefield ruins.
Sure enough, after Zhang Xuan advanced about 100,000 miles, he found a broken star chessboard in the core of the ancient battlefield ruins.
He used his spiritual sense to investigate and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a magical treasure. Although it was broken, the runes on it were still clearly visible, and there were dozens of black and white chess pieces attached.
This star chessboard, which is of the level of a universal spiritual treasure, is used by powerful monks to play chess against each other, using the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth as the chessboard patterns, and the magical powers of the laws of heaven and earth as chess pieces, to decide the outcome.
With the help of the star chessboard, the Taoist supernatural powers of powerful cultivators can be further amplified, and they can even fight against many enemies at the same level. This is the magic of it.
Unfortunately, the star chessboard that Zhang Xuan obtained had blurred and patchy patterns, many broken holes on the surface, and many chess pieces were broken.
Even so, Zhang Xuan quickly put the star chessboard into the storage space and sealed it up.
He knew that the star chessboard, which was of the Tongtian Lingbao level, was of extraordinary value. Although it was broken, if he brought it back to the small world and nurtured it with the help of the small world's power of heaven, it might be able to slowly recover.
In the original world, Taohuang Lao had used this method to repair many fake and even real Tongtian Lingbao.
As long as the time of recuperation in the small world is long enough, it is possible to fully recover.
After putting away the star chessboard, Zhang Xuan continued to move forward.
With the shadow of the God of War leading the way, the consumption of his physical body was reduced a lot. However, the deeper he went into the core of the ancient battlefield ruins, the stronger the destructive power exerted on him by the surrounding chaotic rules became.
Fortunately, Zhang Xuan's true demon body has been cultivated to a small degree of success, otherwise even with the help of the phantom of the god of war, it would be difficult for him to persist in the core area for too long.
Since he had finally come here, Zhang Xuan naturally didn't want to give up halfway.
He consumed a large amount of fifth-tier elixirs that he had exchanged from Fairy Ling Chen to restore his spiritual power, qi, blood, and consciousness.
Although these pills are only of the fifth level, they can still play a big role for Zhang Xuan's half-step refining realm.
However, it is extremely difficult to restore the Qi and blood through refining the virtual body.
In the core of the ancient battlefield ruins, the shadow of the God of War cut through all obstacles, and his energy and blood consumption was far beyond imagination.
Zhang Xuan had almost consumed more than half of the fifth-level elixir for replenishing qi and blood that he had exchanged from Fairy Lingchen.
"Compared with the sixth-level Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley, the recovery effect of these fifth-level elixirs is much inferior." Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But there is no other way at the moment. We can only hope that the next batch of Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley matures as soon as possible, then the situation may improve.
In this way, Zhang Xuan continued to move forward in the core area of the ancient battlefield ruins for more than a month.
During this difficult journey of more than a month, Zhang Xuan remained highly vigilant at all times.
The chaotic laws and broken space around are like lurking beasts that can launch fatal attacks at any time.
Every time he advanced a certain distance, he had to expend enormous energy to deal with various emergencies.
Although the shadow of the God of War was powerful, it gradually showed signs of fatigue in such a harsh environment.
As he went deeper, the space cracks Zhang Xuan encountered became more and more dense, and some of the cracks even emitted a strange aura.
