Psychic Inventor In Cultivation World

"Luna says it's possible but Luna has to confirm the order from both Masters before proceeding," She said while staring at Lerna with her big round eyes, she was folding her hands behind her back, and seemed a little nervous when talking to her.

Lerna looked at her acting all shy and found her behaviour quite pleasing to the eyes.

According to the previous instructions, Luna takes both Lerna and Rex as her Masters, because both of them were the new owners of the Tomb, she needed the consent of both of them before following an order.

"You can do whatever he says, and don't need to ask me every time," Lerna said without hesitation.

Rex smiled, he couldn't help himself, he swirled his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. Lerna didn't resist him and was thrown into his embrace.

"You heard her," He said with a smile.

Luna nodded her head like a rattle then waved her hand towards the map model.

The true devil cultivator had just finished collecting his loot and was about to start moving but then he heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other and the passage to enter and exit the place got blocked by a new stone door.

He became vigilant, he was still thinking about what was happening when he noticed that small leech-like insects were coming in through the tiny space between the wall and the stone door that blocked the passage.

He backed off and observed the leeches continuously coming in and forming a heap near the wall.

In less than a minute, all those leeches combined to form a humanoid creature… The Leech.

This Leech was slightly different from the one that fought Rex. This Leech was taller, it had four arms and a long three-meter tail.

The man sneered after he realized that the lifeforce signature coming from the Leech was low and there was no sign of it using Qi. Instead of being more cautious, he was delighted thinking that he had now triggered some hidden trial.

Rex looked at him behaving like that and shook his head. There was no need for him to see what was going to happen next, the Leech was simply an unkillable existence in the Middle Realm.

The poison Rex used wasn't made in the Middle Realm that's why he considered the Leech as a taboo existence in the Middle Realm.

"Let's go back to the treasure hall," Rex said.

Luna nodded and brought them to the treasure hall.

If such a ring was lying on the street then no one would even believe that it's an Ancient Artifact many would die for.

"Master wants to use it? This is not a battle type or defense type artifact, every artifact adds to the burden on the user's soul and body, an Ancient Artifact is rare but it's also a big burden, moreover once connected the only way to separate it from the host is to destroy it," Luna said.

This was the reason why Crimson Sun Emperor didn't use it, he already had many artifacts on his body although some of them broke when he fought his last battle, but before that, he didn't want to get connected to an Ancient Artifact which he couldn't use and raise his burden. His only truly trusted companion was Saintess Kissandra so he didn't have much use for such a ring and gave it to her, he planned to study it or let his offspring use it.

"An Ancient Artifact is still an Ancient Artifact, if I cannot use it then I will study it but after refining it, a refined Ancient Artifact will only attract hatred while an unrefined one will logic less enemies," Rex said as he looked at his hands. He was thinking about which finger should he wear it.

"Wait," Lerna stopped him then took the ring from his hand.

He was wondering as to what was she thinking when she took the ring, grabbed the second last-second finger of his right hand, and put the ring on it.

The ring was bigger so it easily slid to the other end of his finger, Lerna released his hand then nodded in satisfaction.

Luna looked at the ring then at her, not understanding what was happening.

[It's an Ancient Artifact and not a wedding ring,]

'It's a side effect of reading too many novels from the earth,' Rex chuckled.

Rex then focused on the ring, he guided his spiritual sense and probed it, suddenly a mysterious feeling covered his whole body, not just body, his soul also seemed like it was getting probed.

He didn't resist in any way.

Suddenly a part of his soul was sliced off out of nowhere, it caused him to feel intense pain but by now pain felt like an intangible friend to Rex. He just slightly frowned for a moment then turned back to his normal self. The ring didn't stop there, it also started to absorb his blood without causing a single wound on his skin.

Rex felt a burning pain in his chest, he lessened his robe and saw the enigma of a round eye on his chest, it was made of thin purple lines. The eye was round so it was hard to tell if it was vertical or horizontal, the enigma looked more like a round purple diagram rather than an eye but when Rex looked at the ring, it made him feel that it was an eye and not some complex diagram.

After around 10 minutes, the ring stooped behaving lawlessly and became dormant again but unlike before, Rex could feel a deep connection with the ring. If he wished the ring to disappear it will disappear together with the enigma, if he wished it to appear then it would appear with the enigma.

'Although I have heard that Ancient Artifact eats the same thing as their user and shares the energy in their body but now that I feel it, this thing literally does it,' Rex thought while looking at the ring.

Although he refined it but using it wasn't simple as using a normal Ancient Artifact, he can also not Appraise It. Ancient Artifacts are known to be very mysterious and are on a whole different level compared to Treasure Artifacts, the host has to spend time in understanding their Ancient Artifact themselves and gain control over it.

Rex then moved to the main cultivation technique «Brilliant Sun God Scripture», he took it out and opened the scroll.

After scanning it once, he gave it to Lerna.

"«Brilliant Sun God Scripture» is a special body cultivation technique, you haven't started cultivating using cultivation technique yet, and as a monster race your physique is your strongest point so cultivating a body cultivation technique is the best thing for you, don't worry about the resources we have our ATM Shuang," Rex patted his chest and said.

Lerna took the scroll from his hand and nodded with a serious expression, until a few weeks ago she believed she was already strong enough to walk unhindered in the four continents but first that Calamity Lord from Relion Family and then the Leech, they all reminded her how powerless she was at the time when she started her journey that's why she wanted to cultivate her strength without any delay.

[Giving her a body cultivation technique... You sure love to play with fire,]

'Humph, just shut up, Others cannot start cultivation as soon as they get the technique and she will be cultivating like that for the first time so by the time she gets a hang of it I will already be a Sky Body Formation Expert and can use the other Blood Tempering Pill in Zakiya's hands, I will then add all my status point in END, you know what that means right hehehe...' Rex sneered.

[Such a deep scheme...]

Rex didn't think about cultivating «Sacred Blood Seed Formula» himself, it wasn't a problem to follow the body cultivation path too, if he can't keep up then he could simply abandon it midway. The problem was his «Black Diamond Physique» that supports the dark attribute, if he gets the «Brilliant Sun Body» too then they will reject each other.

Rex looked at the blade for a second and walked to «Sacred Blood Seed Formula», he similarly opened the scroll, but this time just as he opened the scroll, a light shot out from it and entered his head.

Ding...

[You have acquired the «Sacred Blood Seed Formula»]

Rex then looked at the scroll, the method was still there but this one was overly complex and completely wrong. He understood that Crimson Sun Emperor wanted to limit the number of users that can get this formula. Under such a situation even if someone got the formula and their companion asks them what happened they would simply make an excuse.

No one wants to share the gain that they can get alone.

What surprised Rex was the fact that Crimson Sun Emperor didn't use this method on the main cultivation technique but this formula, which shows how much he cared about it.

Rex thought for a moment, then collected all the treasures in his inventory.

He was planning his next move on what to do with the pyramid when Luna alerted him.

"Master someone from the upper realm has made its appearance in front of the tomb," Luna said.

Rex frowned and moved back to his room to check the situation from the 3D map model.

.........

A few days ago...

Uncharted Deep Blue Sea...

In the Middle Realm, there are many uncharted lands and... Sea, that are ranked depending on the difficulty level of exploring them.

According to the correct situation, people call Misty Maze Forest as the number one uncharted land because of the King Of Forest but before Zakiya's appearance, the title of the deadliest region was in the hands of Deep Blue Sea.

Suddenly, the void rippled and a black warp gate appeared in the mid-air several meters above the raging sea waves.

A silhouette in a white dress stepped out of it.

It was a young man, he wore a long white robe and a conical white hat. Two long curved blades were hanging behind his back and his face was covered in a white mask.

The mask was strange, it didn't have eyes or mouth slots instead there was a sliver design of a snake-like creature on it. The creature's body structure was similar to a snake but its eyes, scales, tail, and the pattern on its body gave it an extraordinary presence making it look like a Divine Beast.

After the man came out, the black gate behind him shrunk and disappeared on its own.

He waved his hand and a big Sky Ship appeared in the air, the ship had a glass-like metallic surface, it had a slender body made to minimize the air resistance, the model of the ship was definitely not something people in Middle Realm uses.

Furthermore, a silver snake symbol similar to the one on his mask was present on the side of the ship.

"The sect is ruthless, I haven't even had my breakfast and they send me for such troublesome work," He muttered to himself.

Just then he saw a shadow zooming in on him from above, he leisurely looked up and saw a big whale-like creature opening its big mouth and pouncing on him.

The man touched his chin.

Seafood? Not bad,' He thought. His clothes emitted a white glitter that turned into a blinding light making him look like a light ball in the whale's eyes. In the next second, a gigantic purple snake came out of the blinding light and swallowed the big whale in an instant.

After swallowing the whale, his body shrunk, he again turned into his humanoid form and landed on the deck of the ship.

"Too salty," He thought then waved his hand, and the ship dashed into the distance with a 'swoosh' sound.
