The Lord of Void and Real

However, it seemed as if all his good luck had been used up yesterday. Today, during his journey, he didn’t encounter even a single Chinese yam, let alone thousand-year-old spiritual medicines.

Shen Luo wasn’t greedy, so he didn’t mind this. After leaving the Hundred Herbs Valley, he continued towards the direction of the square.

After about two hours of walking, he hadn’t reached the square yet. But in front of him, not too far away, appeared a majestic Xie Mountain Great Hall. It was well-preserved; compared to the ruins that he had previously seen, it was quite special.

Shen Luo’s eyes flashed with delight as he quickly walked towards the great hall.

However, before he got close, he suddenly spotted a white skeleton on the ground ahead. It was clutching a rusty, broken sword and was lying face down on the ground.

And as he continued further, two more skeletons appeared in the grass by the roadside. Both were pierced through the chest by a single white bone spear, nailed to the ground.

...

Shen Luo felt a chill down his spine.

Once he calmed his nerves and continued forward, he saw more and more scattered bones on the ground. Among them were some peculiar corpse skeletons with extremely wide joints and bones, which clearly didn’t belong to the Human Race.

When he reached the front of the hall, he found that skeletons were leaning against the palace door and the colonnades. Some were twisted in death, some had incomplete skeletons, some were killed by others, and some were clearly killed by their own hands.

Shen Luo’s brows furrowed as he witnessed this sight. He couldn’t help but imagine the scenes of their battles in the past, and a question arose in his mind. Could it be that these people had died in defense of this hall?

The moment this thought struck, he became even more curious. What kind of treasure could possibly be hidden inside this hall?

As he approached, he saw a skeleton still draped in clothing, sitting cross-legged in front of the door, blocking the entrance. He couldn’t help but feel a tinge of reverence for it.

“Elder, forgive my rudeness,” Shen Luo respectfully said, bending down carefully to move the skeleton.

However, as soon as his fingers touched the skeleton, its clothing suddenly collapsed and scattered like flying ash.

Right after that, a small thing fell from the skeleton with a soft “clatter”, rolling aside.

Shen Luo focused his gaze and saw the fallen object was astonishingly a jade brush, about half a foot in length. The brush was utterly crystal clear and its tip was small yet pitch-black, extremely appealing to the eye.

He quickly picked up the jade brush and examined it more closely. He then noticed that the emerald green color was not monotonous; it was interspersed with specks of silver light flickering and seven distinctively bright silver spots were arranged like the Big Dipper.

At the end of the Pen barrel, two small characters could be seen inscribed, “Seven Star”.

An idea struck Shen Luo’s mind. He held the brush, and a strand of mana from his Dantian immediately surged up, flowing into the brush.

The “Seven Star Pen” was seen to have specks of silver light that brightened like a miniature galaxy contained within, giving off a mesmerizing light.

Shen Luo let the pen move freely, tracing back and forth in the void, silver light flowed from the tip of the pen, leaving a trail in the void, and charm patterns of the Small Thunder Talisman began to appear.

However, before he could finish writing the latter half of the talisman, the half that was already drawn began to blur and gradually dissipated.

“With mana poured from the tip of the brush, it can form in the void and not scatter for a short time. This is truly remarkable… If this brush is used to draw talismans, it may be able to preserve the charm’s spirit to a great extent. The chances of forming a talisman should thus significantly increase.”, Shen Luo speculated upon this observation.

With this thought, he once again turned his inner mana and doubled its input into the Seven Star Pen.

The pen began to exhibit an odd phenomenon again. As he waved his pen to sketch, the light marking of the talisman reappeared in mid-air, but it dissipated before he could finish writing.

He tried five or six times, but each time was the same. No matter how much mana he poured in, the light mark’s duration was always very short, making it impossible to form the talisman in the void.

“Could it be that this object hasn’t been refined yet and so it can’t exert its full strength?” Shen Luo speculated.

Saying this, he immediately sat down cross-legged, placed the Seven Star Pen horizontally in front of him, silently recited the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique, and then spat out a ball of mana, which entered the body of the pen.

At the same time, his hands changed the magic spell, and rays of blue light erupted from his fingertips, surrounding the Seven Star Pen.

The pen then gently swayed, and a layer of silver light shone on its surface. Seven stars of the Big Dipper rose from it, each star released a series of charm patterns. The patterns diffused and formed a miniature silver light rune array.

“Seven-layered Forbidden Formation, by the looks of it, its rank should not be much different from the half-moon ring…”

Shen Luo gradually let go of random thoughts and started to feed strands of mana into the first array at the end of the pen handle, attempting to disrupt its forbidden formation.

Unlike the previous refining of the half-moon ring, the forbidden formation on this Seven Star Pen had a strong resistance to his refining. As soon as he tried to disrupt it, his effort was strongly rebounded, and the first wave of mana was forcibly repelled.

“Ha, it seems to have a bit of a temper.”

Shen Luo chuckled, his eyes suddenly focused, his hands changed the magic spell again, and he exerted his full strength to disrupt the rune array.

The Seven Star Pen flashed silver, and waves of void oscillations continued to ripple out from it.

…

Time passed quickly. After more than an hour, there was a soft “crack” from the front of the hall.

They saw a small burst of silver light explode on the Seven Star Pen, and the first prohibitive formation array shattered, turning into a piece of silver light that retracted back into the pen, illuminating the “shaking light” star at the end of the Big Dipper.

Shen Luo was overjoyed. He cast a strand of his divine sense into it, wanting to check the changes in the Seven Star Pen.

However, as soon as his divine sense entered the Seven Star Pen, it was directly sucked in and entered a strange dark space.

This square space inside was only a few feet wide and although no walls could be seen, an invisible force marked its boundary, clearly perceived by Shen Luo.

Shen Luo was slightly taken aback, thinking his divine sense was trapped somewhere, but then, with a thought, his divine sense freely exited.

He was puzzled and sent his divine sense into the space once again.

Just like before, his divine sense power could freely enter and exit this space.

Shen Luo looked around, seeing a piece of fragmented stone not far away. He quickly jumped up, rushed over, and picked it up.

He closed his eyes tensely, holding the fragmented stone in one hand and the Seven Star Pen in the other, his thoughts flickering slightly.

The next instant, Shen Luo felt his left hand lighten. When he opened his eyes and looked, he found that the piece of stone in his palm had disappeared into thin air.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he once again sent a strand of divine sense into the strange space inside the Seven Star Pen.
