“Phew… it’s over.”
Seeing the System prompt, Lu Qingyang could not help but let out a breath.
He felt tired just watching this simulation.
A full thousand-plus years of activity, and over six hundred of them were spent being hunted.
Even more miserable than the Great Sage of back then by a hundred years.
“But… that woman actually hid something on me.”
“Was she afraid someone would find it, so she quietly placed it on me and added a mark on top of that? That way, unless her true body personally came looking, no one else could find it?”
“That’s not a bad method either.”
Having thought it all through, Lu Qingyang could not help but sigh at the intelligence and cunning of these simulated figures.
“Thankfully, I have the retrieval function. Whatever was hidden on me, I can naturally bring it back too!”
Looking at the last item on the retrieval panel, Lu Qingyang’s eyes flickered.
He had heard a little about the Human Tribulation Pearl in previous simulations.
It was said that when a Nine-Turn True Immortal broke through to Human Immortal, they had to pass the Human Immortal Tribulation.
Only by passing the Human Immortal Tribulation could one become a Human Immortal.
As for the Human Tribulation Pearl, it was a rare treasure of heaven and earth that a True Immortal was fortunate enough to condense while undergoing the Human Immortal Tribulation.
Though it was of little use to a Human Immortal themselves, its aid to children and juniors undergoing the Human Immortal Tribulation was extremely important.
If one obtained a Human Tribulation Pearl, it would save a great deal of effort during the tribulation, and the success rate would rise considerably.
“Human Tribulation Pearl…”
“A good thing, it’s just that it isn’t of much help to me now. Even if I bring it back, who knows how long until I can use it.”
By the same reasoning, that Natal Essence Blood was likewise of no great help to him now.
Lu Qingyang shook his head, setting these thoughts aside for the moment.
Clearly, there was something among the retrieved items this time that stirred his heart far more.
“A complete set of Immortal Artifacts!”
“Tsk tsk, the things used by guards and protectors in the Immortal Realm are, upon arriving in the lower realm, rare peerless treasures!”
Lu Qingyang’s gaze flickered, and he was rather excited inwardly.
A true set of Immortal Artifacts meant true invincibility for him in the Prison Dragon Realm!
He did not dare imagine it — if he donned a complete set of Immortal Artifacts.
Paired with his Pseudo-Immortal Puppet, combined with the Nine Heavens Trapping-Extermination Formation, who in this world could contend with him?
At this thought, Lu Qingyang hesitated no longer, and directly spoke in a soft call.
“Retrieve! The complete set of Immortal Artifacts!”
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, retrieval successful.】
【Item Name: Five Elements Immortal Tools】
【Item Origin: Bestowed by the Immortal Lord during the simulation】
【Item Analysis: Five Elements Immortal Tools, a first-tier complete set of Immortal Artifacts, comprising one Immortal Armor, Immortal Robe, Immortal Spear, Leg Armor, and Heart Armor】
【Item Note: Though they are the most ordinary standard-issue Immortal Artifacts, for an ordinary True Immortal they already count as rare treasures.】
“Hua!”
As the System prompt fell.
Piece by piece, ancient implements flowing with radiant color and flickering with extraordinary pressure appeared before his eyes.
Each of these ancient implements emanated a shocking Immortal Might.
Especially that Immortal Spear, jade-white throughout.
Its pressure was even more terrifying!
Only…
“This… why are these Immortal Artifacts all so crude?”
Lu Qingyang blinked, and before he could even feel joy, he was frozen in place by the objects before him.
“This… how is it that the Immortal Armor doesn’t even finish refining the Raw Ore Stone, and directly inscribes formations?”
“And this Heart Armor… it’s worn on the inside at least, so it should be a bit smoother.”
“With such sharp edges and corners, such crude craftsmanship, how was it even forged?”
“And… this pair of Leg Armor, this…”
“These things seem to have terrifying pressure, but… no matter how I look at them, they don’t seem reliable.”
Lu Qingyang carefully observed the Immortal Artifacts before him.
He knew their power was certainly extraordinary.
After all, the materials used were all things he had never seen or heard of.
At a glance, they were legendary Immortal Ore.
Only, the refining method was extremely crude.
If he were the one refining them, they would never be so shoddy.
“Forget it, forget it. They’re Immortal Artifacts after all. As long as they’re usable, that’s fine. I’ll refine them first and worry later.”
Lu Qingyang shook his head, shifting his attention to the Immortal Artifacts.
Then, with one hand, he formed hand seals and sent streaks of spiritual power into the Immortal Artifacts.
“Rumble…”
Instantly, a vast Immortal Might erupted from the many Immortal Artifacts.
As if resisting Lu Qingyang’s refinement.
“Hmph, none of you are Immortal Treasures, and you still want to block me!”
“Wait until you have consciousness before you try to resist me.”
Lu Qingyang’s mind stirred. He waved his hand, increasing his spiritual power output.
In an instant, the Immortal Artifacts were refined one after another, each bearing the mark that belonged solely to him.
“It’s just a pity that though I can refine these Immortal Artifacts, I’m afraid I’ll struggle to unleash their full power.”
“With my current cultivation, being able to unleash fifty percent is already impressive.”
“But… fifty percent is enough!”
Thinking this, Lu Qingyang did not rush to upgrade his attributes or begin Return to True.
Instead, he first summoned Jiangxin.
“Jiangxin! If you encounter a Demon Race Great Vehicle later on, notify me!”
“Beep beep, received, Master!”
Jiangxin responded respectfully.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang finally turned his attention to the Attribute Panel.
“Tier 21 Family Background really is good! Even the starting scenario is swapped to the Immortal Realm!”
“It’s just a pity it’s the lowest tier of the Immortal Realm, but that doesn’t matter.”
“As long as I keep upgrading my Family Background specifically, sooner or later, I’ll start with a bang!”
A thought flashed through Lu Qingyang’s mind, and he decided to save these Simulation Points for now.
He would continue upgrading Family Background later.
At this moment, another crisp System prompt suddenly rang in his ears.
【Ding! Return to True has cooled down.】
【Yes/No to begin Return to True?】
“It’s here!”
“This time it’s a genuine Immortal Realm Return to True!”
“As long as I endure the hard times early on, I’ll be able to experience the life of an Immortal ahead of schedule!”
With a stir of his thoughts, Lu Qingyang chose yes without a shred of hesitation.
“Weng!”
In that instant, the scene before his eyes changed.
The same start as always, the same darkness as always.
Only this time, the spiritual qi in the air was unprecedentedly dense!
In the Return to True Immortal Realm, within a remote canyon, inside a Great Vehicle tribe.
Lu Qingyang was born here…
