2106 If you don’t keep up with the times, you will be left behind and eliminated
I, Yingda, am going to reach a new peak in my life today!
The thin man opened his arms. At the same time, he activated all of his defenses, strengthened his physique, and activated the protection of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯.
While it was a great joy that a treasure had selected him as its owner, it should not be forgotten that this treasure was a Tribulation Transcender-level divine weapon. Even if its quality might have declined due to it having been in the ground for so long, it should have still retained the might of a Profound Sage-level magical treasure.
If a magic treasure of such a level were to crash into him, the impact would be quite strong, so he could not allow himself to get hit by such a divine weapon without setting up any defenses.
After all, he did not want to end up on the first page of the Beast Realm’s Daily Cultivator tomorrow.
While it was a good thing to be in the headlines, the reason was a factor that had to be considered.
If the reason was positive, then countless beast cultivators would look up to you, and you could become a star in one fell swoop.
However, if the reason was negative, then you could become a laughingstock in the eyes of the Beast Realm’s people for a period of time.
Yingda was a man with some experience.
Although he had never come across a Tribulation Transcender-level divine weapon before, it did not mean that he had no idea as to what it might be capable of.
With his defenses fully activated and set up, Yingda happily welcomed the treasure.
As the treasure was unearthing itself, it created loud, rumbling sounds. The earth shook tremendously, and it seemed as if the world could flip upside down at any moment.
Fortunately, Yingda had artificially created a passage for the treasure to go up through. The treasure only needed to move up along this passage, greatly reducing the vibration and tremors as it unearthed itself.
“I can see it.” As the treasure approached him, Yingda saw the appearance of the treasure.
It was an ordinary-looking stone tablet, which matched Yingda’s preferences.
“Boom!”
The stone tablet crashed into Yingda.
The protective magical technique on Yingda’s body was smashed apart. Next, the spiritual energy and magical treasures that protected his body also broke down.
However, with so many layers of cushioning, Yingda got to touch the tablet without dying. The final layer of protection that he had set up using the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯ allowed him to survive.
“Hahaha! Little thing, you’re really enthusiastic,” Yingda laughed and said. His entire body lay on the stone tablet as he stroked it with his arms.
“A Tribulation Transcender-level divine weapon! A genuine Tribulation Transcender-level divine weapon!” Yingda quickly reached this conclusion.
He came to this conclusion as he had once come across a Profound Sage-level magical treasure and been exposed to its pressure—and its pressure was far less than that of this stone tablet!
He stroked the stone tablet happily.
Mine, mine, it’s mine…
Today is truly a lucky day.
❄️❄️❄️
In fact, Yingda’s luck today was truly good.
After the stone tablet was drawn over by the magical technique being cast by Song Shuhang’s wooden body, it had only broken through the ground with ordinary speed and power. The speed at which it was being pulled was not that fast, and the true power of the stone tablet was not activated.
Otherwise, with it being a magical treasure that Senior White Two had forged before becoming the Wielder of the Will, if its full power were activated, even a slight bump from it would have been enough to annihilate Yingda.
After the stone tablet crashed into Yingda’s body, its momentum did not diminish, and it continued to rush toward the surface.
“Okay, okay, stop acting like a child. You can stop moving.” Yingda stretched out his hand and placed it on the stone tablet. Then, he poured his spiritual energy into it.
No matter what item a cultivator encountered, as long as they scanned it with their mental energy and poured their spiritual energy into it, things would generally work out for them. This was common everywhere in the universe.
However, when Yingda poured his spiritual energy into the stone tablet, he discovered that his energy was rejected.
This stone tablet did not accept his spiritual energy.
Yingda looked confused.
What’s going on?
Didn’t this stone tablet choose me as its master and even jump into my arms?
Then, why isn’t it accepting my spiritual energy?
It’s almost as if this stone tablet is being summoned by another force…
Wait, could it be that it didn’t choose me as its master?
This thought suddenly appeared in Yingda’s mind.
But if it didn’t recognize me as its master, then who is summoning it?
Who else is here besides me?
“Daoist Turntable!” Yingda quickly thought of the tiger cultivator, Daoist Turntable.
Besides him, there was only Daoist Turntable in this crystal world.
If it was not him, then it had to be Daoist Turntable.
“No, it can’t be him. Daoist Turntable is in the middle of comprehending the General Principles Inheritance Chapter of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯. How could he be the one summoning this stone tablet?” Yingda frowned again.
So, what the hell is going on here?
Could it be that there are still people hiding in the dark, waiting to reap the rewards?
“Stop!” Yingda placed both of his hands on the stone tablet, trying to suppress it.
It was reckless for him to do so, and he knew it himself.
But at this time, he had started to lose his reason.
The murmuring from the evil ring broke through the seal of the spear and reached his ears.
“Do you want power? Do you want longevity? Do you want to break through? Wear me, and you can have everything you desire.” The whispers from the ring were filled with evil temptation.
This level of temptation seemed to have gone up a notch.
According to Yingda’s previous answers, it began to use “longevity” to tempt him further.
Yingda gritted his teeth and shouted, “Get out of my head! I’m still far away from old age and death. My lifespan is still long. I don’t need anything from you!”
While it was true that he wanted to advance, the part about his lifespan coming to an end was a lie.
His answers had been a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Otherwise, how could he have resisted the evil treasure’s temptation and regained his composure so quickly?
The murmuring stopped.
After a while, the voice sounded again, “So, what you want is a partner?”
It was a new line.
The evil treasures now had the ability to collect data from all the “infected”, which helped form a large database.
In this way, the lines were no longer as predictable as before and were ever-changing.
For example, like when facing Yingda, the evil treasure would first ask the usual question, [Do you want power?]
And after being rejected, it would search through its huge database in an attempt to find a similar “event” and take on the next step to tempt Yingda.
The world is constantly progressing. If you don’t keep up with the times, you will be left behind and eliminated!
“It seems that you really do want a woman. Wear the ring, and you will have the most beautiful girl in the universe.” The murmurings became very magnetic.
Yingda: “…”
Do you think I’m a pervert?
What I want is the power to suppress this stone tablet! I want this stone tablet!
“Wait… If I put on the ring, I can ‘borrow’ the power from the ring to suppress this stone tablet.
“As long as I can quickly suppress the stone tablet and then take off the ring, the evil energy of the Netherworld should not be able to devour me.
“Yes, as long as I’m fast enough, my will should be able to hold on.”
This idea came to Yingda’s mind.
While he was thinking this, his body had already moved.
The spear broke apart once more.
The ring floated out, hovering in front of Yingda.
