Open up and break into another world

Hundreds of spirit artifacts, each with a unique appearance, quickly gathered around Xu Ming; there were giant bears, giant lizards, male lions, minotaurs, dog-headed people, beautiful women, young girls, soldiers… As for the creatures conjured by formations, they were not summoned.

These pseudo-lifeforms surrounded Xu Ming, chattering incessantly.

“Brother Ming, you refined the Misty Rain Battleship so quickly?”

“Brother Ming, you truly are an ally of life and death to the old master! Your cultivation speed is simply faster than the peerless geniuses in the Thirty-Six Sacred Grounds!”

“I feel that we will soon be able to follow Brother Ming and roam the Endless Continent!”

The treasures corresponding to these spirit artifacts included Dao artifacts, Venerable artifacts, and even a few Semi-Divine artifacts.

Of course, the combined value of those Semi-Divine artifacts was not as great as the Misty Rain Battleship. The Misty Rain Battleship was a warship-class Semi-Divine artifact, and also the proudest treasure of Old Man Ku Duan.

“Brother Ming,” Little Yellow said, “The old master didn’t leave behind any formations to assist in refining these treasures. With your current strength, you should be able to refine Dao artifact-level treasures; as for Venerable artifact-level treasures, you won’t be able to refine them!”

Unable to refine Venerable artifact-level treasures?

Xu Ming said, “I have refined a mid-grade Venerable artifact before!”

“Oh?” Little Yellow was slightly surprised, and then said, “That mid-grade Venerable artifact must not have had a spirit artifact, right? Treasures with spirit artifacts, even if the spirit artifact actively cooperates in the refining process, are much more difficult to refine than treasures without spirit artifacts! — Of course, their power is also much greater!”

“Uh…” The mid-grade Venerable artifact Xu Ming refined, the “Myriad Fiend Soul Pearl,” indeed did not have a spirit artifact.

“Then Little Yellow, on the Misty Rain Battleship, are there any… Venerable artifacts without spirit artifacts?” Xu Ming’s eyes lit up.

“Yes!” Little Yellow said, “However… treasures without spirit artifacts were all collected by the old master in his storage ring. Only these treasures with spirit artifacts were placed outside because the old master was afraid they would be too bored being locked in the storage ring for a long time.”

Storage ring!?

Xu Ming’s gaze immediately locked onto the majestic male lion.

The true form of this male lion was Old Man Ku Duan’s storage ring.

“What level of treasure are you?” Xu Ming was very concerned about this question.

If it was a Dao artifact-level treasure, Xu Ming would be able to happily refine it; but if it was a Venerable artifact-level treasure, then he would be rather disappointed.

The male lion shyly said, “Dao artifact.”

Xu Ming’s eyes suddenly widened, sparkling brightly.

“Dao artifact!?” Xu Ming was truly excited and thrilled, “Then what are you waiting for? Quickly go and bring your true form over! — Brother Ming is going to favor you and refine you!”

“Yes!” The male lion hurriedly ran off excitedly to “bring himself.”

Little Yellow smiled from the side, “Brother Ming, storage rings are different from other treasures. The grade of storage rings is generally not very high; a Dao artifact-level storage ring is already very heaven-defying!”

“Mm!” Xu Ming nodded.

“However…” Little Yellow added, “I remember that the old master seemed to have done something to the storage ring…”

“Done something?”

Soon, the male lion “held” himself and ran back.

“Brother Ming, Brother Ming, this is my true form!” The male lion presented the storage ring to Xu Ming as if seeking credit.

This was a golden storage ring, shaped like a curled-up, sleeping male lion.

“Old Man Ku Duan’s storage ring…” Xu Ming could hardly imagine what kind of amazing wealth he would possess once the storage ring was opened!

The male lion also actively cooperated, so that this new master could more easily refine himself.

“Treasures with spirit artifacts are indeed difficult to refine!” Xu Ming discovered that refining this storage ring was actually much more difficult than refining a mid-grade Venerable artifact before!

Difficult as it was, Xu Ming’s mental strength still smoothly penetrated into every corner of the storage ring and successfully imprinted his mental mark.

“Refining successful!”

A substantial joy flickered in Xu Ming’s eyes. He couldn’t wait to open the storage ring, and then… he froze.

Not frozen in surprise, but…

Inside the storage ring, Old Man Ku Duan had actually set up a restriction…

There was also a short video left by Old Man Ku Duan:

“Ally of life and death, if you can refine my storage ring, then you must have successfully refined the Misty Rain Battleship, right?”

“I deliberately left a formation to assist in refining on the Misty Rain Battleship, in order to let you quickly have a life-saving trump card — the Endless Continent, although it has endless opportunities, is also extremely dangerous; a single carelessness may lead to your fall! If you encounter any great danger, as long as you hide in the Misty Rain Battleship, you will at least be safe!”

“You are an ally of life and death that I have waited millions of years for! I still hope that you can transcend life and death and attain godhood, so don’t die so easily!”

“Of course, your strength is still weak now. When using the Misty Rain Battleship, you must disguise the Misty Rain Battleship a bit; for example, disguise it as a Dao artifact-level warship, so as not to attract the attention of top-level experts.”

The “top-level experts” in Old Man Ku Duan’s mouth are probably at least at the Dao Lord level.

“And I set up a restriction in the storage ring, also for your consideration — if you suddenly obtain all my wealth, then your cultivation path will be too smooth, and you will easily lose your fighting spirit.”

“Therefore, I have divided the treasures in the storage ring into three parts and set up restrictions separately.”

“The first part contains Dao Lord-level treasures, such as Dao artifacts without spirit artifacts, as well as Dao stones, runes, formation disks, and so on. When your realm reaches the Dao Lord level, you can break the seal — remember, it is truly achieving Dao Lord, not relying on special means to possess strength comparable to Dao Lord.”

Xu Ming originally wanted to try to use his cheat to forcibly break the first part of the restriction. But now that Old Man Ku Duan has said so, then there is definitely no hope.

However, Xu Ming was not in a hurry at all.

After all, he would not need “Level 5 Cheat Points” before truly becoming a Dao Lord. As for the Level 4 Cheat Points needed at the Spirit Realm level, Xu Ming still had tens of millions, so he was not short for the time being.

When he becomes a Dao Lord and needs to use Level 5 Cheat Points; the first part of the restriction will naturally be broken.

Old Man Ku Duan’s image was still narrating to himself:

“The second part contains Dao Venerable-level treasures, such as Venerable artifacts, etc. When you achieve Dao Venerable, you can break the seal.”

“The third part contains all the treasures I have collected in my life! When you achieve Dao Master, you can break the seal!”

Although Xu Ming could not obtain any of the treasures in the storage ring for the time being; Xu Ming understood that he probably would not lack cheat points all the way to the Dao Master level! — After all, Old Man Ku Duan died of old age and left all his treasures to him!

“Little Yellow, you should keep this storage ring for me for now!”

Xu Ming did not dare to carry this storage ring with him. If he lost it, he would really be in tears — it was safest to put the storage ring on the indestructible Misty Rain Battleship.

Xu Ming then turned his gaze to the other spirit artifacts — with his current strength, Dao artifact-level treasures, and even top-grade Dao artifacts with spirit artifacts, were completely sufficient for him to use.
