Synthesize a Golden Reward!

"The clone has reached the boundary of the invincible domain!?"

Hearing the system notification, Cang Lan froze for a moment before bursting with joy.

After waiting so long, he had finally reached the edge of the protective barrier.

Seven days!

Do you know how I spent those seven days?

At that moment, Cang Lan really wanted to roar.

His Nine-Star Dou Master clone had spent more than six full days walking before it found the boundary!

Even accounting for the vast grassland making travel more difficult, it had still covered nearly a hundred li in seven days.

A protective barrier spanning two hundred li in every direction.

Was the system really that worried he would show off and get himself into danger!?

With a thought, Cang Lan had the clone continue onward.

What he needed now was to expose his location and lure the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill over.

As long as it remained within the invincible domain, he would not fear the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill's pressure and could safely put a ring on it!

Following Cang Lan's command, one clone took a step forward. Yet before its body had fully crossed the boundary, a terrifying pressure swept over it.

"Bang—"

The clone immediately exploded, turning into a cloud of white energy mist that drifted back to Cang Lan's true body.

Even with the clone's shared vision, Cang Lan had not had time to see what was happening outside before the clone was crushed apart by the pressure within the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion!

However, that pressure was merely an innate feature of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

In the original story, the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion was the final dungeon before the ending. Those who ultimately entered it were without exception titans of the Dou Qi Continent.

The weakest among them were all Dou Saints.

It was probably not that Dou Venerables did not want to come.

Under the Emperor's pressure within the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, even a Dou Venerable would explode and die the moment they arrived!

Fortunately, he had plenty of clones. He only needed to keep sending them flooding out beyond the barrier.

The repeated energy fluctuations from their explosions would eventually draw the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill over.

He had already waited seven days.

Another day or two made no difference!

"Let's synthesize the Blue Rewards first!"

Retracting his vision from the clone, Cang Lan immediately calmed himself and looked at the four blue orbs of light within the system space.

The Emperor Grade Nascent Pill would come knocking sooner or later!

There was no need for him to rush.

He would synthesize a batch first and see what good stuff he could get.

He needed to strengthen his foundation first!

With a plan in mind, Cang Lan silently thought, "Reward Synthesis!"

As Cang Lan's thought fell, a blue, illusory screen suddenly popped up above the black notebook.

On the blue interface, four square patterns occupied the corners. Thin, illusory circuit lines linked them together before extending toward a square pattern in the center.

The four orbs of light suddenly floated out, transforming into blue streams that merged into the illusory screen, each taking a corner.

Immediately afterward, the connecting lines lit up with brilliant golden radiance, and the entire blue screen began to tremble!

"Bzz—"

Light from all four directions converged toward the center, accompanied by a faint hum.

Cang Lan held his breath, anticipation flashing through his eyes.

There was a 10% chance that synthesis would yield a Golden Sacred reward.

There was a 20% chance of obtaining a Golden Legend.

He had already received the legendary-grade European Emperor Physique.

The only reward that could truly make him look forward to it was a Sacred reward!

"Psh—"

The sound of steam escaping came from the screen. The four Blue Rewards had vanished completely, leaving behind dazzling golden light.

"Ding, congratulations, Host. You have obtained an ordinary Golden Reward!"

"Ding, would the Host like to open it?"

"Open!"

Hearing that the fusion had produced ordinary rewards, Cang Lan did not feel too disappointed.

After all, there was only a 10% chance of obtaining a sacred reward.

If I get it, I'm lucky; if I don't, it's fate!

Besides, no matter how ordinary a golden reward was, what it yielded would not be worse than a Blue Reward.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Reverse Summoning Gate."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Thunderous Spirit Puppet."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Sealed Absolute Thought Sword."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Passage Through All Heavens."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Cloud Palace."

"The above rewards have been distributed to the system space. Please inspect them yourself."

System Bacteria's notifications rang out one after another before quickly falling silent.

At the same time, four dazzling golden orbs had appeared in Cang Lan's system space.

The moment the rewards appeared, Cang Lan swept his consciousness through the system space, and information on the reward items surged wildly into his mind like a gathering golden storm.

"Hiss—"

Cang Lan mobilized the soul power within his body and tightly wrapped it around the massive flood of information that had suddenly entered his mind.

A moment later, after receiving all the information on the rewards, Cang Lan crooked his lips into a mysterious smile!

Sealed Absolute Thought Sword: Half-Divine Artifact, also known as the Sword of Vow Protection. This sword was formless, yet better than a tangible blade. It could pass judgment upon sacred love. Only sincerity could allow affection to grow over time...

After learning its function, Cang Lan had no plans to merge it into his soul.

After all, formless swords were the deadliest.

The Sealed Absolute Thought Sword's ability was fairly decent as well.

It could subject love to a soul judgment. As long as the other party was sincere enough, even a player or a flirt could emerge unscathed beneath this sword.

However, if the one being judged tried to lie their way through it and PUA their way past the test, the Sealed Absolute Thought Sword would pass judgment, seize the thing most important to them, and then continue judging them.

Powerful as the Sealed Absolute Thought Sword was, Cang Lan had seen too many heaven-defying golden rewards. Since this was only a half-Divine Artifact, it did not even enter his consideration.

Besides, Cang Lan had a proper view of love. He had no need to judge the person he loved most.

If there was no love, then after taking the money, please don't cause harm!

That had always been Cang Lan's guiding principle.

After all, once either a man or woman in a relationship had something that needed to be judged...

There was basically no need to judge it at all!

Those who understood, understood!

Passage Through All Heavens: As long as the user could pinpoint the exact location of another world among the myriad heavens, they could traverse the void, break through the world barrier, and travel there. Entering the Primordial World was not advised...

Cloud Palace: A divine object that could grow large or small and was incomparably sturdy...

Reverse Summoning Gate: Could disregard world barriers and reverse-summon one person from the myriad heavens...

Thunderous Spirit Puppet: Could ignore any barrier. No one below the Dou Emperor realm could cause it any harm. By leaving a soul imprint on it and infusing it with Dou Qi, it could transform into any shape...

When his consciousness read the information on this reward, Cang Lan nodded to himself in satisfaction!

There was no other reason!

With the Thunderous Spirit Puppet, although he himself could not leave the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion—

He could use the Thunderous Spirit Puppet to learn about the outside world's timeline!

Moreover, no one below the Dou Emperor realm could harm it. One could easily imagine how astonishing its defense was.

Emmmm...

Did I miss something?

Cang Lan suddenly froze, thinking to himself.

"By leaving a soul imprint on it and infusing it with Dou Qi, it can transform into any shape!?"

Infuse it with Dou Qi!!!

It could transform into any shape???

And it had incredibly powerful defenses as well!!!

Cang Lan's gaze abruptly turned solemn.

Was System Bacteria frantically hinting at something?

At that moment, a bold idea formed in Cang Lan's heart!
