Chapter 113 Treasures of the Secret Realm, Seed of the Sword

A grand gesture, a grand gesture.

Where is the lack of sincerity?

The Void Refinement expert from the Sword Sect is incredibly sincere!

The remnant soul within the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant communicated with Lu Heng.

The two are now an absolute community of shared interests, bound together by fate.

Almost immediately, if it weren't for the old man, a powerful figure in the Void Refining Realm, saying that this was only the first benefit...

Knowing full well just how precious a treasure from a secret realm is, the remnant soul wanted to persuade Lu Heng to agree immediately.

The treasures of the secret realm, as the name suggests, can be carried with you and contain the treasures of a secret realm!

The minimum requirement for a refiner is that they must be at the Void Refining Secret Realm.

Only those powerful beings who have touched upon the laws of space within the Void Refining Realm can refine a secret realm into a treasure.

For individual cultivators, it is the perfect cultivation cave, the most ordinary secret realm, and the resources that can be developed there.

Even in the realm of spiritual refinement, it would be considered a massive quantity.

Even in times of crisis, when one seeks refuge in a secret realm treasure, most cultivators, even those skilled in refining secret realm treasures, cannot forcibly refine a secret realm treasure.

For one faction, the treasures of the secret realm are priceless if they are merely used to cultivate resources and nurture the next generation.

Even in normal secret realms, only those with the power of a True Monarch of Refining Gods are qualified to possess them and able to protect them.

But the treasures of the secret realm are different.

Convenience and privacy are not mentioned for now.

If it is absolutely necessary to simply offer the treasures of the secret realm to the imperial court, it will be enough to obtain the court's protection, and even be enough to earn further rewards from the sect or aristocratic family.

Even a court with an emperor wouldn't take a secret treasure lightly.

Lu Heng didn't speak. As a mere cultivator in the Body Refinement Secret Realm, he was clearly aware of one thing.

That is, even if he obtains the treasure of the secret realm, is he really capable of refining something of that level?

As expected, the old man continued, "Although I can give you the treasure of the secret realm directly now, you cannot refine the treasure of the secret realm without refining your divine soul before you can refine the secret realm."

So before I leave, I will give you a token so that you can return to the secret realm after you leave.

Lu Heng wasn't disappointed that he couldn't directly obtain the treasure from the secret realm.

What's meant to be his will be his, and what's not meant to be his can't be kept even if you force it.

Now that he is carrying a secret treasure, leaving the secret realm is like a child carrying gold through a bustling city; he simply has no ability to protect it.

Their fate was destined to be utterly tragic.

However, as an elder who had reached the Void Refinement stage, his bringing up this matter in advance was not without reason.

It's likely they have more to say, and their words are quite clear: as a benevolent connection, it's not just about one secret realm treasure.

Even one treasure from a secret realm might be enough.

However, the elder, a powerful figure in the Void Refining Realm, intended to add more weight to this auspicious connection.

"Don't be disappointed. Although the treasure of the secret realm cannot be given to you directly, and this secret realm has disappeared, you will probably receive unnecessary attention as well."

But before leaving the secret realm, you can simply go and take any rare and precious treasures you desire.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

The secret realm only opens once every few decades, and people occasionally throw some medicinal herb seeds into it, so the resources it contains are actually enormous.

In the old man's opinion, for Lu Heng, whose cultivation was only at the Body Refinement Secret Realm, this was not a great resource, but it was definitely not bad either.

"Thank you, senior, but this is unnecessary." Lu Heng paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

If he were truly a scion of a noble family, or a rogue cultivator who had entered an unclaimed secret realm, then so be it.

However, as a member of a branch family, bringing out so many resources from the secret realm at once is tantamount to courting death!

Lu Heng then explained the reason.

"Senior, there's no need for such a large amount of resources."

"This junior is not worthy of such treatment—"

Even the old man, a master of the Void Refinement stage, was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

I almost doubted that I had heard correctly.

Perhaps it's because it's been dormant for thousands of years that its spirit and body have developed problems.

A young man who had reached the pinnacle of body refinement in the secret realm was actually just a member of a third-rate family, and a branch family member whose life and death were not in his own hands and whose upper limit was restricted.

This isn't just absurd; it's completely counterintuitive.

Lu Heng could only explain that he had a certain opportunity, and even experienced a bloodline reversion.

Evolution is actually very similar to the nature of bloodline atavism, so it's not exactly a lie.

"Young friend's situation has certainly broadened my horizons." The old man readily accepted Lu Heng's statement.

No wonder he has such great fortune!

In the case of a chosen one, even the most bizarre things seem normal.

According to destiny, the other party is capable of averting a great calamity for the Sword Sect in the future!

It would be strange if it weren't outrageous.

"In that case, I will first provide you with some cultivation resources in the secret realm."

Besides the treasures of the secret realm—

"This is another great gift I've prepared for you, young friend." The old man's expression remained unchanged as he said this.

But even with the previous grand gift being a treasure from a secret realm, Lu Heng still couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"A sword seed," the old man said directly, not intending to play the riddle game.

"Senior, may I ask what the Sword Seed is?" Lu Heng asked immediately.

The remnant soul might also know, but it certainly wouldn't know as clearly as the Void Refinement expert before it.

"Young friend, do you know anything about talent?" the old man asked.

Lu Heng naturally understood and answered truthfully.

"That's good then. The purpose of the Sword Seed is to grant people talent, a swordsmanship talent that can grow!" the old man replied with a sigh.

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment. He didn't even need to ask the remnant soul; he already knew that this sword seed might be a truly priceless treasure.

While he wouldn't belittle himself, he wasn't confident enough that others would rather give good things to outsiders than to their own family.

If it truly has such a heaven-defying effect, even if it's useless to someone who has already reached the Void Refinement stage, the Sword Sect is a sect, and the elder must have descendants.

If that's the case, then it means that the Seed of the Sword is most likely limited.

Lu Heng immediately thought of the conditions for clearing the secret realm.

The unparalleled level of the Body Refining Secret Realm!

Perhaps the conditions for refining a sword type are inevitably related to this!

Instead of making wild guesses, Lu Heng chose to ask the old man.

The old man nodded helplessly, "If such a good thing really exists, I will naturally leave it to those good-for-nothing descendants."

But alas, they were not fortunate enough to have that blessing.

Without reaching the pinnacle level and possessing sufficient talent, one simply cannot refine this sword seed that I obtained by chance.

Even if it could be forcibly refined, it would still be a waste of a treasure.
