Within Sui Zhu Hall, Han Yi gripped the Yueguang Divine Spear, his eyes fixed on Celestial Venerable Sui Zhu as he waited expectantly for what came next.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Celestial Venerable Sui Zhu shook his head.
"Before I advanced to Celestial Venerable, I did indeed possess quite a few top-grade materials. Among them were supreme treasures capable of repairing ancient artifacts, as well as special supreme treasures that could replenish spirituality. But after I advanced to Celestial Venerable, I used them all up upgrading the Sui Zhu Seal."
"A Celestial Venerable ancient artifact is an extension of a Celestial Venerable's strength and is of utmost importance. I spent a vast amount of resources to raise the Sui Zhu Seal to the level of a Celestial Venerable ancient artifact in the shortest possible time."
"Even as for source crystals, I originally had far more than these two. They were accumulated over my long years of cultivation, but after I advanced to Celestial Venerable, they were consumed at a rapid pace."
Han Yi felt somewhat regretful, but Celestial Venerable Sui Zhu's explanation gave him a fresh understanding, from another angle, of just how important Celestial Venerable ancient artifacts were.
Suddenly, he thought of something else and asked.
"Celestial Venerable, this ancient artifact of mine is a God Venerable ancient artifact. During the Primordial Antiquity era, the Immemorial World had numerous ancient gods. Though those ancient gods fell, they more or less left behind inheritances. Some may have left behind hidden Divine Aperture Worlds, some Tombs of Gods may still remain, and some ruins may yet exist."
"Does Celestial Venerable know of such ruins? If they can be excavated, they may very well replenish the spirituality of my ancient artifact, directly repair its cracks, or even raise it to another level."
