Li Yang thought about it again and realized that it probably wasn't true.

Without Star Ash Soil, Divine Soil could barely be considered in a damaged state.

Since it's already unusable when damaged, it's even less likely to trigger this usage penalty, right?

It really is a blessing in disguise...

Thankfully, the Divine Soil was damaged, otherwise, my fellow disciples would have lost so much of their lifespan for nothing!

Li Yang clicked on the Tree Tower again, and detailed information about the Tree Tower popped up.

Treasure Name: Tree Tower.

Secret Treasure Specifications: Master.

Treasure status: Normal.

Treasure Details: This Star Plant Nursery, created by condensing a fragmented Realm Domain, can significantly increase the growth rate of Star Plant below Third Grade, greatly improve the purity of Star Core, and increase the probability of producing advanced Star Skill.

Cost of use: Each activation has a chance to trigger "photosynthesis". Once triggered, the people nurtured by the Tree Tower must strip naked and undergo "photosynthesis" in the sunlight for up to 48 hours.

Li Yang: "???"

What kind of weird side effect is this?!

That Tree Tower is so inappropriate! Does Professor Shen know about this?!

Wait a minute! Professor Shen used the Tree Tower for 28 years? Did that trigger photosynthesis?

The Tree Tower has just returned to the Agronomy Department, and they haven't had time to trigger this side effect yet.

And Professor Shen...

It must have been triggered already!

Li Yang quickly ordered herself to shut her mind; she shouldn't be thinking about this kind of thing. What if Professor Shen sensed it?

Although Professor Shen has become more and more amiable these days, there are still some bottom lines that should not be crossed.

Li Yang closed the introduction to the Tree Tower and looked at the last secret treasure.

Treasure Name: Invincible Shield

Secret Treasure Specifications: Divine Venerable.

Treasure status: Damaged.

Treasure Details: A shield that records the defensive principles of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. When used, it forms an Invincibility shield that can withstand any attack while it is active.

Cost of use: It will significantly shorten the user's lifespan during use.

Li Yang first noticed the specifications of the Invincible Shield; it was actually at the Divine Venerable level... Judging from this, the level above Master is Divine Venerable.

I wonder if there are any higher ranks than Divine Venerable?

The description of the treasure is indeed quite terrifying.

It is indeed related to the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The title "Invincibility" is truly well-deserved!

When Li Yang first ventured into the Tree Tower, she borrowed her teacher's Star Skill.

At the time, Li Yang was extremely envious of that Invincible Sun Shield, but he never expected that he would actually have a real Invincible Shield now.

Invincible Sun Shield is a Star Skill; although it is of a very high rank, it also has limitations.

When Li Yang uses the Invincible Sun Shield, he can only block damage from opponents two levels higher than himself at most.

But the Invincible Shield in front of us is different; in extreme circumstances, it might even be able to block a fatal blow from the Divine Venerable!

Looking at this Invincible Shield, Li Yang couldn't help but think of the story of the spear and the shield.

Since the Laws of Heaven and Earth include the concept of Invincibility defense, does it also include the concept of indestructible attack?

What happens when something indestructible meets Invincibility defense?

Doesn't that create a contradiction?

However, the Laws of Heaven and Earth also have limitations. For example, the Invincible Shield in front of us has a very high cost to use.

No wonder such a high-level treasure has such a low rating.

It is classified as a Divine Venerable, but this treasure is actually only rated as Third Grade.

I guess it's because the cost of using it is just too low.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the price of Divine Soil is also a reduction in lifespan; that's an extremely low probability event. As for the price of the Tree Tower, it seems ridiculous, but it's actually quite gentle. You can even get some Sun and calcium, so there's no real loss.

The cost of using this Invincible Shield is far too high.

Once activated, it will consume the user's lifespan.

This thing is simply a paradox.

The purpose of activating the shield is to save one's life, but to activate the shield, one has to sacrifice their lifespan...

Did they ultimately survive or not?

No wonder this thing has such a low rating.

It's really a useless thing!

Of course, this applies to others; for Li Yang, this Invincible Shield is incredibly powerful.

The lifespan of a normal person is limited.

For example, an ordinary person's lifespan is at most 100 years; after becoming Star Wielders, it will be extended to two or three hundred years; as one's cultivation level improves, one can even live for one or two thousand years.

Even so, below the Grandmaster, human lifespan is very limited.

Even for Grandmaster, lifespan cannot be said to be infinite; reaching ten thousand years is already quite remarkable.

A lifespan of ten thousand years is extremely long for a human; but it's nothing in the context of the Astral Realm.

Just like Lianxin and other long-lived species, their lifespan is often as long as 900,000 years.

Therefore, this Invincible Shield is quite useless for humans. Although it grants Invincibility, it can also lead to death shortly after activation.

But Li Yang is different!

Her current lifespan is already capped at 30,000 years; if she could constantly accumulate 30,000 years...

Then you won't have to worry about the Invincible Shield absorbing your power!

Of course, Li Yang hasn't tested it yet, and doesn't know how much of her lifespan it will consume after activation.

No matter how much you devour, it's all worth it to gain Invincibility defense!

For others, once their lifespan is over, their life is over.

But for Li Yang, even if his lifespan is over, he can still keep earning money!

Li Yang became more and more excited as she thought about it, feeling that this Divine Miracle trip had been incredibly profitable!

The current problem is that this Invincible Shield is damaged.

Thankfully, the system collected it; otherwise, such a treasure would have disappeared along with the Divine Miracle, which would have been a great pity.

Li Yang asked, "How do I repair the Invincible Shield?"

[Check if it will consume ten years of your lifespan.]

Li Yang said speechlessly, "Search."

[Please upgrade your weapon forging level; you can repair it once it reaches grade Third Grade.]

Li Yang: "???"

Then what?

[Whether it will consume ten years of lifespan, please continue the query.]

Li Yang wanted to fight Tongzi as soon as she could find her.

You're really ripping me off!

He only said one point that was completely meaningless, given his ten-year lifespan!

Li Yang wasn't in a hurry to continue searching; she needed to improve her weapon-forging level first.

Speaking of which, after the system panel was updated, she was able to view her various levels in detail.

For example, in the Pill Department, she has already advanced to the Third Grade Realm.

The Weapon Forging Department, lacking experience in weapon forging, is only at the Grade One First Stage.

As for Star Artifact and Star Curse... those are at an even lower level.

Since she had never used Star Curse, she was automatically classified as Gradeless.

Li Yang was eager to repair the Invincible Shield as soon as possible.

This is undoubtedly her greatest guarantee of safety.

Once they reach the Astral Realm, Professor Shen will no longer be able to protect her from every angle.

Although her teacher is in the Astral Realm, after the great Divine Venerable, she will definitely have to go into seclusion for a long time, and there will be no way to protect her in the short term.

Although some clues have been exposed this time, it will still take some effort to completely uncover the mastermind behind it.

Li Yang thought of the rights that Shen Binghua had fought for for her last time—going to the Sword Tomb.

"I wonder what the Sword Tomb is? Since we can pick up Growth-Type Divine Weapon, maybe we can quickly increase our weapon-forging experience?"

Li Yang isn't far from the Fourth Grade Realm. Once he fills in his Star Aperture and breaks through the realm through battle, he can steadily advance to the Fourth Grade! At that time, he can apply to go to the Sword Tomb.

Li Yang was quite looking forward to it. Firstly, since Shadow Moon was ruined, she needed her own divine weapon; secondly, she wanted to improve her weapon-forging experience to repair the Invincible Shield!

Li Yang then looked at the Star Skill section.

Her biggest gain from this Divine Miracle journey was the Invincible Shield, and the second biggest was learning this Star Skill.

"Time Rewind... what exactly is its effect?"

Li Yang clicked on the details of this Star Skill:

Star Skill Name: Time Rewind (Incomplete)

Star Skill Grade: Purple.

Star Skill Description: Allows you to leave a mark in a scene and view events that occurred within that scene over the past 24 hours through video playback.

So that's what Star Skill are like.

Li Yang finally understood.

She was somewhat disappointed. The words "Time Rewind" sounded more powerful than the Laws of Heaven and Earth, but the effect... was just like a surveillance replay.

The advantage is that the surveillance is very discreet, and it's not easy for someone to tamper with the footage during playback.

The downside is that there's only one day left, and that so-called mark can be detected and eliminated if discovered by someone with high Spirit Points.

Li Yang had a vague feeling that something was going on, but she didn't understand the Star Skill of Time Rewind, so she didn't take it too seriously.

However, Li Yang also noticed the system's description of it, which included the word "incomplete" in its name.

This Star Skill is an incomplete version, so what does the complete version look like?

Furthermore, the current Star Skill rank is relatively low; upgrading it might yield better results.

The purple Star Skill was truly domineering, directly occupying ten of Li Yang's Star Aperture.

It's no wonder that everyone is reluctant to waste their Star Aperture. After reaching the Third Grade Realm, although there are more Star Aperture, the Star Aperture required for Star Skill also increase accordingly.

Li Yang doesn't have much lifespan left, and since she can't use the Time Rewind Star Skill for the time being, she's not in a hurry to deliberately improve it.

Overall, this Divine Miracle trip was very worthwhile.

Although upon closer examination, the consumption is also quite high, such as a large number of quick-acting recovery pills...

If they could actually bring it out, it would be worth hundreds of millions.

However, Li Yang didn't dwell on it; she simply pretended that the money she couldn't bring out didn't exist.

"Awake?" Shen Binghua's voice echoed in her Spirit Sea.

Li Yang smiled sweetly and said, "Teacher Shen, thank you for your hard work."
