"Ah? I apologize?"
Liu Mu was completely stunned after hearing that.
He was the one who had been beaten so badly, yet he had to apologize to someone else. What kind of logic was that?
But just as Liu Mu was about to argue his case,
the next moment, he was stopped by a cold gaze, the warning in it very clear.
"....."
Liu Mu felt extremely aggrieved but dared not act out in the slightest.
After all, this was a Holy Land Deacon.
Crushing him was no different from crushing an ant.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Liu Mu endured the intense pain throughout his body, forced himself to bend at the waist, and performed a grand bow to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's gaze flickered slightly.
He hadn't expected this purple-gold token to be so effective.
Even a Holy Land Deacon had to show him some respect, allowing him to disregard certain rules.
Afterward, Lu Yuan no longer bothered to contend with him, turned around, and strode away.
...
A day of Cultivation in Yunlong Stream.
Lu Yuan had made several minor Realm Breakthroughs one after another, benefiting greatly.
He was not far from Bitter Sea Realm Fourth Rank.
That Emperor Scripture Mind-Cultivation Technique had laid an incredibly solid foundation for him.
With his current Physical Body strength, fighting across several minor Realms was as easy as eating and drinking, without the slightest difficulty.
"Let's go back and consolidate my Cultivation first."
Lu Yuan thought to himself, then walked directly towards his residence.
A moment later.
He passed by a peculiar mountain peak.
His inner Chaotic Origin actually began to circulate involuntarily at this moment.
It seemed to be drawn by some mysterious power.
"Hmm?"
Lu Yuan stopped and gazed towards the peak.
He could clearly feel that the power was emanating from the peak.
He wondered what it was that could cause his Chaotic Body to resonate.
And just then,
the System's prompt suddenly echoed in Lu Yuan's mind.
"Ding, detecting the host's current experience, triggering an option reward."
"One, go to the peak to investigate, reward five hundred catties of Origin."
"Two, ignore it and go straight back, reward one High Grade Magical Artifact."
"A reward has been triggered!"
"Five hundred catties of Origin and a High Grade Magical Artifact!"
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
In the Cultivation world, various weapons and Magic Treasures also had clear Rank divisions.
Magical Artifacts, Magic Treasures, Spirit-Communicating Magic Treasures, Divine Weapons, Saint Weapons, Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons.
And a High Grade Magical Artifact had considerable power.
Even ordinary Inner Sect Disciples might not possess one.
In terms of value, it was significantly higher than five hundred catties of Origin.
However, having triggered System rewards several times in a row,
Lu Yuan had roughly figured out the pattern.
Only experiences that could affect his life trajectory to a certain extent would trigger the System prompt.
Therefore, there must be something extraordinary on that mountain peak.
It was worth investigating.
Immediately, Lu Yuan no longer hesitated, changed direction, and walked directly towards the nearby mountain peak.
...
The mountain peak was steep, with strange, jagged rocks.
There was basically no complete path.
Even with Lu Yuan's powerful Physique, he felt somewhat tired after climbing for so long.
But fortunately, half an hour later, he finally reached the summit, and the Chaotic Origin within his body became even more active.
Before him, an ancient stone tablet, completely black and shimmering with dark light, stood there.
It didn't seem very conspicuous, but it gave off a strong sense of oppression, as if even the blood flow rate had slowed down considerably.
At this moment, beside the stone tablet, there was also a man in white, standing tall.
He looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a handsome face like jade, elegant as an immortal, and an extraordinary temperament.
"Eh? An Outer Sect Disciple?"
The man in white turned to look at Lu Yuan, letting out a soft exclamation, seemingly a little surprised.
"Come over."
"Since you can find this place, it means you have a predestined connection with this object, and perhaps you can obtain a great fortune."
The man in white smiled slightly, his words gentle, giving a feeling like a spring breeze.
"Excuse me, what is this?"
Lu Yuan stepped forward, observing the stone tablet, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"A tablet made of chaotic stone." The man in white explained.
"chaotic stone!"
Lu Yuan's expression hardened upon hearing this.
No wonder he felt a strange sense of belonging when facing the stone tablet, as if they shared the same Origin.
This chaotic stone was a supreme treasure comparable to immortal gold-grade Materials.
Countless years ago, a Great Emperor once used this material as the main component to forge an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, shaking the entire universe.
This was enough to show its rarity.
Moreover, with such a large size, its value was absolutely immeasurable.
"May I ask, Senior Brother, what great fortune you just mentioned?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then asked again.
With such a large piece of chaotic stone placed here,
the important figures in Wan Chu Holy Land would naturally not be unaware.
Most likely, there was another mystery.
"The tablet inscription."
"Our Wan Chu Holy Land has been established for hundreds of thousands of years."
"The most profound secret Legacy are all derived from these nine Chaotic Stone Tablets."
"However, the scriptures engraved on them are all incredibly obscure."
"Disciples without a predestined connection simply cannot comprehend them and will only waste time."
"Therefore, these nine Chaotic Stone Tablets were sealed by the important figures within the Sect using supreme methods."
"Their appearance time is uncertain, and their appearance location is uncertain."
"Only Disciples who are fated with the stone tablets can feel a connection in their hearts and find this place."
"For example, people like you and me."
The man in white spoke softly.
"I see, thank you for informing me, Senior Brother."
Lu Yuan's expression cleared.
"Hurry up and comprehend it."
"Who knows when the stone tablet will disappear."
"Good!"
As his voice fell,
the two of them each occupied a corner and began to comprehend the Chaotic Stone Tablet.
Lu Yuan activated his eyesight, gazing intently at the tablet above.
In an instant, he felt as if everything around him blurred.
The countless Dao symbols inscribed on the Chaotic Stone Tablet seemed to come alive, each flowing with ancient Dao rhyme.
In Lu Yuan's eyes, they continuously intertwined, rearranged, and recombined.
Endless profound principles and endless Dao sounds resonated in his heart, incredibly mystical.
Thus, the two of them sat cross-legged, both falling into a deep state of Dao comprehension.
...
After an unknown amount of time.
Rumble!
A shaking sound rang out.
The Chaotic Stone Tablet glowed, as if it had developed its own consciousness, flying up from the mountain peak and disappearing into the void.
"What a pity...."
The man in white awoke from his Cultivation, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
He must have failed to fully comprehend the obscure scriptures on the stone tablet.
On the other hand, Lu Yuan's eyes flickered continuously, his spirits high, seemingly having gained much.
At this moment, both of them stood up and exchanged glances.
Lu Yuan could sense that this man in white was definitely no ordinary person.
His strength seemed terrifyingly powerful.
"May I ask Senior Brother's name?" Lu Yuan asked.
The man in white smiled and said, "With your talent, we will meet again very soon."
"At that time, you will naturally know."
As his voice fell, a divine rainbow flashed, and the man in white drifted away.
