Chapter 66: Memories of the Amethyst Dagger
As for the situation above rank 1, the boss did not say anything, but only said that the increase in lifespan at the Venerable realm would be different due to the different state of mind comprehended.
It took Liang Zifeng nearly 4 hours to sort out Black Robe's memory. Now he finally knew the relevant information about the Amethyst Dagger. It was a bit regrettable that even Black Robe did not know the specific origin of the Amethyst Dagger.
But Liu Er did not lie. The Amethyst Dagger was indeed of great significance to the Black Robe. It could be said that the rise of the Black Robe was due to the Amethyst Dagger.
By combing through Black Robe's memories, Liang Zifeng realized that the Amethyst Dagger did not seem to be something from this world either.
In fact, Heipao was originally the son of a wealthy merchant family. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and when he was 16 years old, his family was suddenly attacked by a group of men in black.
He managed to escape the pursuit and fled to a far and hidden cave, thus successfully escaping the disaster.
Then one day, the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, followed by lightning and thunder. The young man in black robe who happened to be at the entrance of the cave saw a scene that he would never forget.
Liang Zifeng also saw the scene at that time from the black robe's memory. The sky was originally covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, but suddenly a vortex appeared, causing the surrounding dark clouds to spin as well.
Not long after, the vortex suddenly split apart, and then the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be swallowed up by something. They disappeared without a trace in a few breaths, leaving only a long space crack in the sky, which still emitted a dark gray glow.
As soon as the space crack appeared, it began to shrink slowly. When it shrunk to one or two meters in length, a jade box fell out from the crack and landed near the hole of the young man in black robe.
Through the scenes in his memory, Liang Zifeng discovered that the jade box was emitting a lavender glow, and the young man in black robe reached out and picked up the jade box. The magical thing was that his hand did not touch the jade box, he just held the jade box in the air.
It was not until dawn the next day that the lavender glow of the jade box completely disappeared. Then the young man in black robe successfully opened the jade box. Inside was the blade of the amethyst dagger. The amethyst dagger originally did not have a handle. It was added by the young man in black robe later.
In addition to the blade of the amethyst dagger, the jade box also contained a jade slip, a ring, a page of gold foil, and twelve jade tablets.
On that piece of gold foil paper, there was an introduction to the amethyst dagger blade, jade slips and jade tokens, as well as relevant information about the ring.
It turns out that this jade box belongs to a peerless master, who opened a space channel through an ancient formation and threw the jade box into a secret realm to find the destined person.
This peerless master is the owner of a secret realm and is nearing the end of his life. His strongest means can only open a very small space channel. Unfortunately, after opening this space channel, the strong man will also use up his last bit of vitality.
This secret realm is called the Zixu Secret Realm. The purple crystal dagger is the key to open the secret realm, and the jade slip records a supreme body refining method.
As for the ring, it is a storage ring named Zixu Ring. This Zixu Ring is the key to whether one can sense the location of the secret realm.
If the Zixu Ring approaches the Zixu Secret Realm, it will send a message to the wearer. If the location reaches the requirements to open the secret realm passage, it will also send a message to the wearer.
As for the twelve jade plates, they are secondary magical instruments that can sense the Taoist secret realm. After infusing internal energy into the jade plates, if there is the aura of the secret realm within a hundred miles around, the jade plates will emit a dazzling light.
If the person who is destined to obtain the Zixu Ring passes the test, he can obtain the inheritance of the strong and become the master of the Zixu Secret Realm.
However, the prerequisite for opening the secret passage is to have the purple crystal dagger and the body refining technique must reach level 3 or above. For more than a hundred years, Black Robe has been searching for the secret realm all the time.
In order to find clues to the secret realm, the man in black robe even gathered refugees and borrowed the power of bandits to help him find the location of the secret realm. Unfortunately, after many years, only three of the twelve jade plates are left, and the other nine jade plates were either destroyed or taken away.
After sorting out the black robe's memories, Liang Zifeng relaxed, then took out the Zixu ring and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see any runes engraved there.
He tried to probe his mental power into the Zixu Ring, but unexpectedly encountered resistance. Moreover, among those forces that blocked his mental power, Liang Zifeng actually sensed the breath of the black robe.
"What's going on? Even the boss's storage ring doesn't have such a strong defense. Isn't the Purple Void Ring a product of this world? Then that secret realm is not a secret realm of this world either?"
"This is strange. If the peerless expert in that secret realm is more powerful than the strongest person in this world, then he should be from a higher level world. Then, that peerless expert would not make such a low-level mistake, right? He actually got the coordinates of the other end of the space channel wrong."
Unwilling to give up, Liang Zifeng tried again with his mental power, but unfortunately he still couldn't penetrate into the Zixu Ring. However, he found that the aura of the black robe seemed to be dissipating rapidly, and it would probably dissipate completely in more than an hour.
Liang Zifeng had no other choice but to put down the Zixu Ring and take out the secret book he got from Liu Er.
This is a very old secret book, as you can tell from the degree of damage it has suffered. I spent some time reading it in detail.
"So it's called the Great Light Avoidance Turtle Breathing Technique. It has three levels: restraining breath, selflessness, and light avoidance. Retaining breath is easy to understand, and selflessness is to reduce the sense of existence, right? What is light avoidance?"
Liang Zifeng read it several times again and after deepening his understanding, he finally realized what light avoidance was. It turned out that it could affect light. If practiced to the extreme level, one could achieve optical invisibility.
"Awesome, awesome! What level of secret technique is this? Mysterious level? Or Earth level? Oh, I remember that chameleon has several names, one of which is light-avoiding lizard. Could this secret technique be named after that?"
"How does it control light? Let me see. Oh, it turns out it's just an imaginary realm. No one has ever succeeded in practicing it.
In the imaginary realm, willpower is actually needed, and it seems to involve the power of the mind. It is actually through spiritual energy that the light is controlled. The person who created this secret method is really a genius."
"By the way, speaking of willpower and mental strength, when I was controlling the purple crystal dagger earlier, I seemed to have discovered something incredible. Willpower can actually merge with mental strength and my true qi, causing the true qi to mutate."
Liang Zifeng thought about what happened before, and he had a hunch that he had discovered something extraordinary, and this might be his greatest opportunity.
