Chapter 319: Resources

Source power flowed within the transcendents’ bodies, just like blood flowing through veins.

This was a spontaneous and instinctive action, not even requiring the transcendents to control it. All it took was a thought, and they could manipulate source power to perform various techniques.

However, this Divine Source was like fat in Lu Ming’s body, growing wherever it was and moving as slowly as the shaking of fat.

Lu Ming could make this thing move, but the speed was unimaginably slow, almost stagnant.

This made it impossible to use the Divine Source in combat scenarios – how could the enemies give you time to mobilize the Divine Source?

Lu Ming felt that even if he spent 10 to 20 minutes mobilizing the Divine Source, the effectiveness of his offense and defense might not satisfy him. It was like having a lazy and disobedient subordinate; could he rely on him to complete the task he had assigned to him?

Jiu Han fell into deep thought.

Soon, Jiu Han spoke, “Godhood, it’s a matter of godhood. You don’t have godhood, so you can’t mobilize the Divine Source.”

The term “godhood” had also appeared in the attribute panel before.

Lu Ming immediately asked, “Teacher, what is godhood?”

“It’s the reward given by the Supreme God after reaching the top of the Heaven Ascension Stairs…”

As Jiu Han answered, he seemed to have thought of something unrelated to Lu Ming.

He paced back and forth in the classroom and only stopped to look at Lu Ming again after about ten minutes.

“You’ve done very well, but the remaining issues are not something you can handle.”

“Leave the rest to me. I’ll find a way for you to use the Divine Source properly… However, this will take time. I need to figure out some other things first.”

After saying this, Jiu Han continued.

“I have to go out to take care of something. In the meantime, you can go find Yan and have him take you to Area Three. I’ve prepared a new training ground for you there.”

With that, Jiu Han disappeared without a trace.

After returning to the small courtyard, Lu Ming immediately found Yan.

Yan also knew Lu Ming’s purpose for coming, so he promptly led Lu Ming to the front door.

Pulling open the door, a vortex-shaped teleportation entrance appeared before Lu Ming. Yan took the lead and stepped into it, with Lu Ming following closely.

After a fleeting sensation, they had already arrived in front of a ten-meter tall tower.

Looking at the tower, which appeared to be made of crystal, and the terrifying fluctuations of the void energy surrounding it, Lu Ming could not help but take a deep breath.

“What’s this?”

Yan replied, “This is the cultivation resources prepared by Teacher for Senior Brother.”

“A cultivation tower constructed entirely of the Eternal Stones.”

This was the method Jiu Han had mentioned that could quickly elevate Lu Ming’s Void Realm’s level.

By spending money…

Before Lu Ming could say anything, Yan continued, “There are other treasures in the tower imbued with the power of space and time, all of which can nourish Senior Brother’s strength.”

“Other than that, Teacher has left some other things for Senior Brother. Senior Brother, please follow me.”

With that said, Yan led the way into the tower.

The cultivation tower was ten meters tall and had three levels.

Entering the tower, they saw more scattered Stones of Eternity and other items imbued with Void Power., like the Flameheart Stones and Eternal Stones.After walking into the tower, he saw more scattered Stones of Eternity and other good things that contained the power of the void.

Even though Lu Ming had no real concept of money, he knew very well that the things contained in this tower were enough to buy dozens or hundreds of Ancient Cities.

Moving up to the second floor, there was nothing particularly remarkable on the second floor—just more Flamestones and Stones of Eternity.

After walking up to the third floor, Lu Ming saw a simple but cozy room.

The floor of the room was a pale blue green, and stepping on it emitted a faint coolness.

A woven straw mat covered the floor, giving off a subtle, refreshing fragrance.

Looking up at the ceiling, there was a large bright pearl shining down a warm red light.

There were four incense burners at the four corners, and something was burning in them, emitting a rich aroma that was unknown if it was pleasant or unpleasant.

Lu Ming could tell at a glance that this room was extraordinary.

Yan’s voice sounded in his ear again.

“The floor is made of Celestial Jade, which aids in cultivation.”

“The futon is one that the Teacher once used, woven from iron sprout divine grass. It helps in one’s concentration and significantly enhances the speed of cultivation.”

“The pearl above is the Morning Dragon Pearl, which can alleviate fatigue and enhance insight.”

“What’s burning in the incense burner are the roots of the Dao Sourceflower, a priceless flower with incredible value and a sacred item for cultivation.”

“There are also array formations in the room set up by Teacher personally, a large array embedded within smaller arrays, totaling eighty-one layers.”

After explaining all this, Yan paused for a moment and added with a hint of envy, “This place can increase Senior Brother’s Body Forging technique cultivation speed by a hundredfold.”

It could also increase the level of the Void Realm…

Lu Ming silently muttered to himself and looked at the entire room. He could not help but say, “Please thank Teacher on my behalf.”

This house was probably only fit for Divine Sons and Divine Daughters to enjoy.

Yan covered his mouth and smiled, “Teacher really has very high expectations of Senior Brother. I’ve been by Teacher’s side for quite some time, but I’ve never seen Teacher value a disciple so much.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Teacher show such enthusiasm.”

After chatting with Yan for a while, Yan tactfully left, leaving Lu Ming alone in the cultivation room.

Looking at the low-key luxurious cultivation room, Lu Ming took a deep breath, closed his eyes, sat on the futon, and entered the Void Space.

The capital of the Eternal Clan, Tian Du.

Coldwater Prison.

Prison warden Reynolds was accompanying Jiu Han, walking slowly towards the depths of the prison.

In the deepest part of the Coldwater Prison, the two of them stopped and looked at the large iron gate ahead, covered in dark rune array formations.

Reynolds said softly, “Teacher, this is where that person is imprisoned.”

Jiu Han nodded gently, “I’m taking the person away. The formalities will be dealt with later, there’s no problem, right?”

Reynolds immediately smiled and said, “Of course there’s no problem.”

Jiu Han had many disciples and grand-disciples. He was also a Divine Spirit Realm expert. Although such a person did not have an official status in the Eternal Clan, his reputation was probably not inferior to the top big shots of those important departments.

Reynolds opened the array formation restriction on the door and Jiu Han stepped inside.

Faint murmurs could be heard from inside the prison, but Reynolds could not make out what the two inside were talking about.

About half an hour later, Jiu Han walked out of the prison and left immediately.

After Jiu Han left, Reynolds looked at the prison again and discovered that it was already empty.

It took Jiu Han just over half an hour to travel from Xuanshui City to Tian Du.

When he returned to the Boshi Tower, Lu Ming had just entered the cultivation tower.

However, he did not pay much attention to Lu Ming. Standing in an empty room, Jiu Han waved his sleeve and a middle-aged man in a state of unconsciousness appeared at Jiu Han’s feet out of thin air.

Looking at this person, Jiu Han spoke softly.

“Qing Jue, Divine Spirit Realm, the god of the Qing Clan. Captured 100,000 years ago during the battle of the Qing Clan and has been imprisoned until now.”

“Hmm, let’s use you as an experimental subject..”
