Black Tiger Mystic Altar Heavenly Lord

In a meditation chamber of the White Jade Pavilion, on the North Island of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes.

After finishing his purchases, he had returned to the hall housing the Hetu Company, jumped into his own great cauldron, and returned to the Canghuan Realm.

Time flowed very differently within the Myriad Worlds Ancient Boat and the Canghuan Realm. One day aboard the boat was a year in the Canghuan Realm.

That wisp of his divine sense had lingered aboard the ancient boat for less than an hour, but his actual body had already spent fifteen days in the Canghuan Realm.

Fortunately, his gains this time had been immense.

After taking the Reincarnation Dew, he had a safety net and could afford to be somewhat more composed and relaxed in the Canghuan Realm.

With the Concealment Incense masking the spiritual signature of his Fate Card as well, he temporarily had no need to fear being recognized by local cultivators anywhere in the Donglai Sea Region.

The problem of his spiritual meridian aptitude was now more than halfway resolved, too. Next, he only needed to focus on cultivation and make an all-out push for foundation establishment.

Once he became a True Disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect, he could prepare the second-tier [Sloth] potion to improve his spiritual meridian aptitude further. His future would surely be bright.

Judging by the current situation, as long as he made good use of Kunxu's Seven Great Medicines, forming a golden core in the future would be no problem.

He even had a very good chance of attempting to reach the nascent soul realm.

But I can't jump to conclusions yet. After all, my cultivation is still too low, and I lack a clear understanding of how difficult the Dao Path beyond the golden core will be.

Fang Hong thought somewhat conservatively.

He swept his hand before him, and three masses of treasured radiance immediately appeared.

They were the Azure Sky Divine Armor, the Divine Ability Talisman Seal, and the Primordial Golden Dipper.

He picked up the divine armor and examined it closely.

Outwardly, it was a solemn, majestic black gold statue clad in Daoist robes, only about a foot tall. Its body had a deep black base, outlined with gilded patterns and accented with flashes of reddish-gold lightning.

This divine armor's model was the "Black Tiger Mystic Altar Heavenly Lord"!

It appeared to be a mass-produced model from the Azure Firmament Divine Court. Aside from this one, the Azure Firmament Divine Court's shop also sold many other Buddhist- and Daoist-style suits of divine armor.

The most eye-catching of them was the "Mahavairocana."

Fang Hong cut his finger with his flying sword, dripped two drops of blood essence onto the divine armor, then circulated his magical power to refine it.

The black gold statue immediately seemed to come alive, abruptly breaking apart into countless black gold scales. In less than a breath, they wrapped him tightly from head to toe.

It was like the Iron Man suits in the films and television shows of his previous life, but with an added touch of immortal grace.

Fang Hong circulated his magical power slightly and exerted his strength, discovering that the divine armor contained an enormous reserve of spiritual energy. It merged with his magical power to produce a vast, mighty surge of power far beyond his current cultivation realm.

He rose and casually moved his limbs, finding that he could control the divine armor as naturally as his own arms and fingers, as though it were part of his body.

He could even clearly feel the faint sensation of the black gold fingers brushing against the air.

Magical power aside, the sheer physical strength contained in this divine armor alone rivaled that of a body cultivator at the foundation establishment early stage.

"What a treasure."

Fang Hong silently praised it, then picked up the Divine Ability Talisman Seal.

It was a palm-sized jade token engraved with intricate bird-shaped spell scripts. Immortal light flowed across it, making it extraordinarily wondrous.

He pressed the talisman seal against the divine armor's chest, and it immediately dissolved into immortal light and merged into it.

Immediately afterward, lines of spiritual patterns lit up, spreading from the divine armor's chest across its entire body.

Fang Hong felt the spiritual energy within the divine armor surge and roar, abruptly climbing another substantial notch!

At the same time, his sea of consciousness received a mystical thought: the formula for controlling the divine armor to activate this Divine Ability Talisman Seal.

Just like the Ice-Soul Mystic Light talisman seed in his sea of qi, it required only a slight stir of thought to activate the divine armor and unleash this divine ability called the "Tiger-Rope Demon-Binding Seal."

This was a seal art for binding opponents. Once unleashed, magical power transformed into chains of mystic light that could coil around and bind an opponent, sealing their magical power, physical body, and even divine sense.

At the Azure Firmament Divine Court's shop, this "Black Tiger Mystic Altar Heavenly Lord" suit of divine armor could be upgraded further, all the way to the fourth tier, where it would rival a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

There were as many as thirteen compatible Divine Ability Talisman Seals, and each additional seal would greatly increase the divine armor's might.

But this second-tier divine armor could currently hold no more than four Divine Ability Talisman Seals at a time.

After silently examining its sensations for a while, he picked up the second-tier Dharma Treasure, the "Primordial Golden Dipper."

When purchasing this treasure, Fang Hong had noticed the word "imitation" after its name. It was presumably modeled after that peerless treasure of legend.

The treasure was cast entirely from reddish gold and shaped like a square measure used for grain. Cloud patterns and Daoist seal scripts wound around its body, which was covered in mysterious secret talismans.

Its mouth was broad, and a mass of golden light at the bottom faintly generated a devouring pull.

"With this suit of divine armor, I have even more to fall back on."

With this divine armor's support, he could briefly gain combat capabilities comparable to those of a cultivator at the foundation establishment early stage.

However, the armor consumed an enormous quantity of spirit stones and placed a heavy strain on his body and divine sense. It could only be used against enemies for brief periods, not worn for long.

There was another point: the Kunxu Company had presumably deployed large numbers of this type of divine armor during its war against the local cultivators.

Even if ordinary low-level cultivators today could not recognize this divine armor's origins, once word of this treasure spread, it might attract the attention of the mighty figures of the various sects.

So I must be extremely cautious when using this treasure! Unless I have absolutely no other choice, I must never use it lightly!

Fortunately, I have the Fate Mirror, so I needn't worry about anything going wrong.

His thoughts then turned to Zhao Feixue of the Ghost King Sect.

This woman had tried to ensnare him with Ultimate Bliss Powder. Since her first attempt had failed, she probably would not let the matter rest.

Fortunately, she probably still did not know that he had largely seen through her identity and purpose. Their positions as attacker and defender had reversed.

With the Azure Sky Divine Armor and Kui Water Yin Thunder, plus the Fate Mirror to discern fortune and misfortune, if I still can't deal with this hidden danger, I'd be a disgrace to transmigrators.

A wicked, wild thought flashed through Fang Hong's mind.

This woman is only at the foundation establishment early stage. Why not test the [Lust] potion from the Seven Great Medicines on her?

He had originally intended to ask Fang Jian to deal with this woman, but now that he thought about it, if he acted himself and controlled her with the potion, it would be no different from gaining a foundation establishment servant.

According to the experimental results in the report on Kunxu's Seven Great Medicines, the secondary [Lust] potion differed from the primary potion. As long as the dosage was increased, it could produce significant effects even on cultivators at the foundation establishment early stage!

Its effects varied by individual and dosage, but its upper limit was the foundation establishment middle stage.

After all, many of the spiritual ingredients used to refine this potion were second-tier materials... As for its exact effects, he would have to verify them himself.

At a thought from Fang Hong, the divine armor trembled faintly, instantly detached from his body, and shrank back to about a foot tall.

Normally, this divine armor could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own and store it as its own spiritual energy.

But during intense combat, when its spiritual energy consumption surged, spirit stones would have to be supplied to keep it running.

After putting it into his storage pouch, Fang Hong rose and left the meditation chamber, heading upstairs with light steps to find Su Yao.

He wanted to test the effects of that "Hundred Flowers Spirit-Soothing Meridian-Nourishing Essential Oil" first.
