I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 402: Chapter 308: Celestial Spring Clear Liquid

This was simply not the kind of power a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact could unleash!

Even a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact couldn’t compare to it.

As his life force continuously drained away, the Peak Foundation Establishment Demon was simply stunned.

For a moment, his brain seemed to shut down.

Why could a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact display power far exceeding that of a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact?

The next moment, a memory surfaced in his mind.

It was a memory of a conversation with another Inner Sect Disciple from his sect.

That Inner Sect Disciple was the grandson of the sect’s Artifact Refining Elder. According to him, the Celestial Demon Sect, a Core Formation Influence, had come to their Black Dragon Hall to report something.

This report was about a Foundation Establishment Elder from the Celestial Cloud Sect who had been Refining Spiritual Artifacts specifically designed to counter them.

If it had just been the Refining of a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. The key was that a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact designed to counter them was later created. This was a matter of great importance, so they came to report it.

Initially, the Celestial Demon Sect’s Artifact Refining Elder had judged that it would be difficult for the Spirit Refiner creating such Spiritual Artifacts to advance further. However, the subsequent developments exceeded their expectations.

After their sect’s Artifact Refining Elder examined the corresponding Upper Grade Magical Artifact, his judgment was that a top-grade version of such a Magical Artifact would be extremely difficult to Refine. The same applied to Spiritual Artifacts. As for the even higher-tiered Magical Treasures, it would be utterly impossible to create one.

The conclusion drawn from this judgment was that their Black Dragon Hall did not, and should not, pay it much mind. As a Nascent Soul Influence, they had many more important matters to attend to. There was no need to give special attention to something that couldn’t even threaten their Core Formation Elders.

After hearing this account, the Peak Foundation Establishment Demon had thought it made sense too.

A Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact designed to counter them could, at most, display the power of an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact. That truly wasn’t worth worrying about. If a Magical Treasure of this type could be refined, however, that would be a different story.

But now, there was a problem.

Even if that light red Long Sword, a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact, could unleash the power of an Upper Grade one, it shouldn’t be like *this*...

As his thoughts reached this point, the Peak Foundation Establishment Demon’s consciousness grew incredibly hazy.

His mind, which had always been sharp, could no longer turn.

Only after the Peak Foundation Establishment Demon was completely dead did Fang Yun’s figure appear.

Destroying the body to eliminate all traces, collecting the spoils of war—the entire process was as smooth as flowing water.

’He barely used any power just now. Was he being careless?’

Fang Yun pondered for a moment, shook his head, and then continued on his way.

The Peak Foundation Establishment Demon had used so little power to defend against his attack; his protective measures were thinner than paper. A gust of wind might have been enough to break through.

If this Peak Foundation Establishment Demon had defended with his full strength, Fang Yun could have seen just how powerful one of the top-ranking Foundation Establishment Demons from a Nascent Soul Influence truly was.

Fang Yun wasn’t disappointed that he didn’t get to test it. There would be other opportunities.

One Peak Foundation Establishment Demon had died, but there were other Peak Foundation Establishment Demons.

Easily obtaining 510,000 basic Talent Points was a very satisfying feeling.

The "Land of No Master" Secret Realm was vast enough that the chances of encountering others were low unless one was at a specific location.

As Fang Yun traveled onward, he didn’t sense any other powers.

"This is the place."

Fang Yun came to a stop near a lake.

According to the markings on the map, the place that produced the Celestial Spring Clear Liquid was on the small island in the center of the lake ahead.

On the island lived a peak Second Tier Mirror Beast.

When a Mirror Beast remains still, it mimics the surrounding scenery, blending into its environment.

The trees and rocks on the island could all potentially be Mirror Beasts.

Therefore, one must be extremely careful when setting foot on the island to avoid being ambushed by a Mirror Beast.

The Purple Mist Sect had already told Fang Yun everything they knew about the Mirror Beasts.

As for ambushes, Fang Yun feared them the least.

Before an ambusher could even spot him and launch a sneak attack, he would passively and instantly switch to a combat state. In this state, his perception would become exceptionally keen. This effect grew more pronounced as his Combat Talent’s star level increased.

Maintaining the concealment effect of his Half-Hidden Spirit Boots, Fang Yun put away the map and began to move slowly.

To an ordinary person, his speed was actually quite fast.

But to a Foundation Establishment Level Cultivator, his current movement speed was considered slow.

At this speed, the fluctuations of Fang Yun’s Spiritual Power were already minuscule. Coupled with the concealment effect of the Half-Hidden Spirit Boots, his current level of stealth was nearly identical to that of someone lying in ambush, completely motionless.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Fang Yun set foot on the island.

He hadn’t detected any abnormalities, nor had he found any Mirror Beasts.

The surrounding scenery all felt incredibly real; he couldn’t tell if any of it was a Mirror Beast.

The Celestial Spring Clear Liquid was located at the center of the island.

In five hundred years, this place only produced a single serving of Celestial Spring Clear Liquid, and one serving was just a single drop.

In other words, the last time someone entered the "Land of No Master" Secret Realm, there was no Celestial Spring Clear Liquid on the island, because an Inner Sect Disciple from the Purple Mist Sect had already taken a serving six hundred years ago.

He continued to move slowly.

As time passed, Fang Yun reached the center of the island. There, he saw a single, crystal-clear drop of liquid, floating just above a small tree.

This small tree looked perfectly ordinary, but it was one of the external manifestations of the "Land of No Master" Secret Realm’s origin power and could not be taken.

This type of Secret Realm was a small world in itself—a world rich in resources but where no true sentient life had been born. That was why it was called the "Land of No Master."

It had no master in the truest sense.

Even upon entering, one could stay for a maximum of seven days, with no way to extend the duration.

’The Celestial Spring Clear Liquid is right ahead, and the Mirror Beast still hasn’t discovered me.’
