The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 158 The Secret of the Stone Tablet
The auction in Xicheng finally came to an end.

When various forces learned that the token had finally fallen into the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty, they were not disappointed, but rather became eager to take action.

There were so many powerful people gathered in West City right now, a mixed crowd. Even though Xia Hong had successfully won the token at the auction, it didn't mean that he was the true owner of the token...

The law of the jungle has always been the cruel law of survival in the Tianluo Continent.

Thus, beneath the bustling West City, undercurrents surged like a brewing storm.

……

Inside a secluded courtyard in the west city, the gate was tightly closed. A spiritual formation appeared above the courtyard, with spiritual light surging, isolating it from the prying eyes of the outside world.

Lu Chen leaned back on a recliner in the courtyard, playing with the stone tablet in his hand. He looked at the sky outside the courtyard and smiled, "I'm afraid that countless people in West City are staring at the people from the Great Xia Dynasty right now."

Muchen shrugged and said, "After all, it's the token of the Second Palace Master. Although I don't know what it's used for, the Ancient Heavenly Palace is about to open. Having an extra token like this might give me an extra opportunity compared to others."

"Brother Lu, what's the point of spending over 20 million Supreme Spiritual Fluids to buy this broken stone tablet?"

"No matter how you look at it, it's not worth the price!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You just don't understand this. This stone tablet may seem like an incomplete spiritual initiation inheritance of magical powers, but it actually has a great effect."

"Do you know the Fifth Palace Master of the Ancient Heavenly Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Muchen was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Lu, are you saying that this inheritance is related to the Fifth Palace Master?"

"This is impossible. Isn't the Fifth Palace Master a Great Perfection-level Earth Supreme?"

"His inheritance requires at least great magical powers or even great perfection level magical powers to obtain it, right?"

Lu Chen shook his head slightly and said, "A small, incomplete magical power naturally cannot be the inheritance of the Fifth Hall Master. The price of True Spirit Initiation is extremely high. If the Fifth Hall Master were to use it, it would definitely be the inheritance of his most skilled magical power."

"At least he has started from the Great Perfection level, and it's possible that he has reached the level of peerless magical power."

"What I want to say is that the magical power on this stone tablet is the key to gaining the recognition of the sacred object, the Azure Divine Thunder Armor, held by the Fifth Hall Master."

"Cangqing Divine Thunder Armor?"

"Well, that's a mid-level holy object."

Lu Chen nodded. "A mid-level holy relic is worth at least 500 million Supreme Spiritual Liquid. Spending 20 million Supreme Spiritual Liquid in exchange for the recognition of a mid-level holy relic is a very good deal."

"As far as I know, this magical power known as Cang Lei Jin was derived from the Cang Qing Divine Thunder Armor. The Cang Qing Divine Thunder contained within it was also stripped from it. They are divine objects of the same origin."

"I see. No wonder you acted so decisively, Brother Lu."

"I'm afraid that the people at Tianya Tower also know the inside story, so they are fighting with you, Brother Lu, for it, right?"

Muchen frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.

Lu Chen nodded indifferently and said casually: "It should be. After all, they are a top force famous for selling intelligence. As long as their mysterious owner doesn't take action, we don't have to be afraid of them."

"But Brother Lu, a mid-level holy object is enough to tempt a supreme being of a higher level to snatch it away!"

Mu Chen smiled bitterly and couldn't help but remind him.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay. I have already informed the domain master, and she will be here soon."

"Besides, Tianya Tower sells intelligence every day, but it has offended many forces. Their owner usually dares not show up. At most, he sends a few thugs from the lower-level Supremes." "I can't wait for them to come over and make an example of them."

After hearing Lu Chen's explanation and seeing his calm demeanor, Muchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt a little at ease.

"Then Brother Lu, what do you need me to do?"

"Come with me and guard the gate for me. I am going to retreat and digest this incomplete magical power and the blue divine thunder."

Lu Chen waved his hand, then stood up and walked towards the training room in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Muchen hurriedly followed.

……

In the training room,

Lu Chen closed his eyes and meditated. Spiritual power flowed around his body, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was also continuously pouring into his body.

He continued practicing like this for a while before slowly opening his eyes. With a wave of his sleeves, a broken stone tablet appeared in front of him.

"According to the simulation, as long as you touch this object with your spirit, you can receive the inheritance."

Lu Chen held the stone tablet and said secretly in his heart.

"It's a pity that I chose the Phoenix Bloodline in my last simulation. Otherwise, I could have directly chosen the Azure Divine Thunder Armor and wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

"But without cultivating Cang Lei Jin, even if I choose to, I may not be able to refine it. I still need to cultivate this magical power."

Lu Chen sighed, then put the stone tablet against his brow. Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, the surrounding space had already changed.

In the golden space, golden leaves piled up on the ground, and in front, a huge ancient tree stood quietly. On the ancient tree, it seemed as if countless magical runes were engraved, slowly wriggling, giving people a sense of wisdom.

Under the ancient tree, a spiritual light suddenly condensed and finally transformed into a figure in a gray robe.

The figure had a delicate face, and on his forehead, there seemed to be a faint ancient pattern emerging like a palace, exuding a mysterious charm.

At the same time, a golden dragon was embroidered on the figure's robe, with its fangs bared and claws waving, exuding a ferocious aura.

Seeing this, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "He is indeed a disciple of the Ancient Heavenly Palace..."

Because the spiritual pattern between the figure's eyebrows is unique to the ancient heavenly palace. It can only be condensed by practicing the ancient heavenly palace's skills, and it is impossible for others to imitate it.

The figure smiled slightly, bowed to Lu Chen, and said, "I am Pang Tong, the chief disciple of the Fifth Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace. Today I will teach you the Cang Lei Jin."

Immediately, the gray-robed figure formed a seal with one hand and pointed a finger at the center of Lu Chen's soul's eyebrows.

boom!
The moment his fingertips fell, a roar suddenly erupted in Lu Chen's mind, as if there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and a huge amount of information rushed into his mind like a flood.

There seemed to be countless pictures in that information, each of which was a scene of the gray-robed figure named Pang Tong practicing during his lifetime, and each picture contained his insights into practice.

Lu Chen's mind just took a quick glance and was completely immersed in it, as if he had become Pang Tong himself. All the mysteries contained in the Cang Lei Jin were revealed to him without reservation.

This feeling was like an epiphany, and it made Lu Chen, who was experiencing the True Spirit Initiation for the first time, unable to stop. He simply blocked all his senses and immersed himself in this feeling without reservation...
