Chapter 409: Powerful Altar

When Fang Lie finished the refining ritual and carefully sat down, he immediately sensed this treasure’s extraordinary nature!

First, all his senses sharpened dramatically. At the Jade Pool’s center, a mysterious power had previously suppressed his senses and divine sense, limiting his vision to barely a hundred zhangs. Even nearby objects appeared blurred.

But upon sitting on the altar, Fang Lie’s vision cleared instantly. Every detail within several miles became crystal clear, surpassing his normal observational abilities.

His divine sense underwent the most shocking change—strengthened by an unknown force, its resilience and potency increased over tenfold! Fang Lie felt his wire-like divine sense could now slice through ordinary iron as easily as cutting tofu.

More astonishingly, a torrent of pure spiritual energy surged into his body from below—no cultivation effort required! Normally, cultivators relied on cycling energy to draw spiritual energy into their bodies. Yet here, river-like quantities of immaculate energy flooded his system automatically.

This infusion rate dwarfed his normal cultivation speed by hundreds of times. Crucially, this energy carried traces of Heavenly Dao laws within its purity.

Internal inspection revealed why. A colossal magic tornado—dozens of zhans thick—swirled above his Qi Sea, funneling vast magical power from the void. His Qi Sea expanded visibly under this deluge, unlike the faint mist produced during regular cultivation.

Even without spirit pills, this speed seemed unreal. The treasures within his Qi Sea reacted vigorously. The Linglong Qi Locking Tower ballooned to hundred-zhang scale beneath the energy pillar, refining the magic tornado into dense azure essence.

The Innate Nirvana Fire Nascent Fetus positioned itself beneath the tower, gulping the enhanced energy before spewing dozens of robust Dao pattern karps—triple its usual output. These karps now bore vivid scales and whiskers, radiating intensified Heavenly Dao laws.

"Bird Bro!" Fang Lie mentally shouted. "Look! The nascent fetus is producing premium karps!"

"Divine marrow’s no common material," came the lazy reply. "Its immortal energy naturally breeds superior karps. Nothing special."

"With this speed, I’ll soar through cultivation realms!"

"Don’t get cocky," Bird Bro warned. "This torrent only seems impressive because your Qi Sea’s small. Once it spans thousands of miles, this inflow will feel inadequate. Keep striving, youngster."

Fang Lie gasped. "Then how can I ever reach the 120,000-mile requirement?"

"Difficult, but achievable," Bird Bro assured. "Feed Five Elements essences to make the altar grow. Its expansion means stronger energy flows. Meet its demands, and your speed stays high."

"Fifth-rank materials cost fortunes!" Fang Lie groaned. "Enlarging this altar slightly would bankrupt me!"

"True improvement requires hundred-li expansions," Bird Bro stated. "Selling Mo Sect might cover it… temporarily."

Fang Lie nearly choked. "That’s impossible!"

"Ever heard of plunder?" Bird Bro’s tone turned sly. "Righteous sects battle demonic ones daily. Raid a few strongholds—like that Sword Fortress haul matching Mo Sect’s years of income—and watch your coffers swell."

Fang Lie’s eyes narrowed. His undying nature made high-risk raids feasible. "One hundred years of pillaging could grow this altar tremendously…"

"Exactly! This isn’t just some cultivation tool—it’s a large treasure weapon with plugin functions! Offense, defense, support—it does everything! I’ve crafted few treasures with such potential. Make it your life-bound treasure!"

"But I already bound the Blazing Dragon Cannon!"

"Who said you’re limited to one?" Bird Bro chuckled. "This altar’s worth breaking rules for. Now quit whining and start planning heists!"
