Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1241 - 554: Purple Void Sovereign Lord of Brahma Energy, the Dew of Germinating Seeds_2
It took a whole day, but Lin Xun, alongside White Elephant Senior Brother, tirelessly managed to lick the Imperial Palace map clean, virtually pocketing all items of value.
[...]
[As night fell and all was silent, only the moonlight draped like silk over the desolate halls.]
[At the stroke of midnight on the night of the fifteenth, when the moon is full, you pushed open the doors of the Qinan Hall, lit the candles inside, and the ’Purple Void Sovereign Lord of Brahma Energy’ on the shrine remained a cold clay statue, showing no sign of abnormality.]
[You lit the three sticks of high-quality purple sandalwood incense you had prepared, offered incense in front of the statue in the sequence of center, left, and right, then bowed respectfully to the Sovereign...]
[As the incense smoke curled up into the void, it seemed to call upon a great presence...]
[In the hands of the Sovereign, the Clay Treasure Vase began to flicker with a faint light, and the inner walls of the vase silently wept droplets of sweet dew, which gradually collected into a fountain, filling the entire vase.]
[At this moment, the ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’ you possessed seemed to respond, beginning to glow and heat up.]
[Will you cast the ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’ into the Treasure Bottle?]
Lin Xun was invigorated.
"My guess was correct, Emperor Wu indeed had an object similar to the Glazed Karma Fire Seed."
According to the records of daily activities, Emperor Wu would come here on the night of a full moon to make offerings, waiting for the Sovereign’s Treasure Bottle to overflow with sweet dew before dropping in the glowing object.
After absorbing the sweet dew, the object Emperor Wu carried would purge the Malice that had tainted him.
However, the purifying object Emperor Wu received was much weaker than the Glazed Karma Fire Seed; it needed to draw sweet dew before it could purify Malice.
Furthermore, even with such an object, Emperor Wu, who could dispel Malice once a month, eventually fell into Extreme Evil, becoming a Proxy of the Evil God.
From this perspective, the object can at best be referred to as a junior version of the Glazed Karma Fire Seed.
[You step forward and cast the ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’ into the Treasure Bottle...]
[The moment the seed sank to the bottom of the sweet fountain in the bottle, the brimming fountain visibly lowered its water level, creating a small vortex with the glittering Glazed Karma Fire Seed at its center!]
[Your sole item ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’ is beginning to sprout!]
[Your mastery over this item is increasing!]
[Current sprouting progress: 1%]
[Current sprouting progress: 2%]
[...]
[Current sprouting progress: 10%]
[The sweet fountain in the Treasure Bottle has been completely absorbed, leaving not a drop.]
[You wait a long time, once again offering incense to the Sovereign statue in respect, yet you see no more sweet dew seeping from the Treasure Bottle, only to retrieve the still unsprouted ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’.]
Lin Xun checked his inventory for the item.
The description of Glazed Karma Fire Seed remained unchanged, the only addition being the note [Current sprouting progress: 10%]
"Only ten percent? If it can only absorb once a month, wouldn’t that take six times, a full half year’s time?"
Just as Lin Xun found the method to upgrade the Glazed Karma Fire Seed and was yet to be happy, the situation at hand left him speechless.
The process length of challenging Chapters is typically one to two months, and even if not stuck on any obstacle, the slowest strategy wouldn’t take more than three months.
If he were to wait half a year, the Chapter’s climactic event might have long concluded.
Staying in the Imperial Palace foolishly waiting once a month for the opportunity, until the Glazed Karma Fire Seed sprouted, could absolutely not be the correct strategy.
"There’s too little water; it’s simply not enough. Is there a way to get more sweet dew?"
[You fall into deep thought, scrutinizing the Sovereign statue up and down.]
[The craftsmanship of the sculptor is extremely exquisite, managing to carve the unique rhythm of Daoist Nature into the hard and cold Stone God Statue.]
[The Sovereign’s posture is graceful with sky-blue brocade robes revealing skin as smooth as creamy snow, shining with a clear jade light, her full and round chest, and slender waist, suggest that even though her facial features are carved very vaguely, the Sovereign’s true countenance must be extremely beautiful.]
[For some reason, this unfamiliar Sovereign statue gives you a feeling of déjà vu...]
[After observing for a long time, you fail to find any hidden secrets on the statue.]
[Will you leave the Qinan Hall and wait for the next full moon night to come again?]
Without hesitation, Lin Xun presses ’No’.
He starts to ponder the ritual process that causes the Treasure Bottle to produce sweet dew.
Both Emperor Wu and he must wait for the night of the full moon, and only after burning incense and worship would the Treasure Bottle produce sweet dew.
"Could it be the incense?"
Sons of Evil have statues erected all over the Vermilion Red Land, with countless devout followers and disciples, constantly providing a stream of Power of Incense Fire to the Son of Evil, contributing a vast amount of experience points.
[With this thought, you immediately switch to the Son of Evil’s Shell and conduct the Power of Incense Fire from all directions of the Vermilion Red Land towards the statue.]
[Malice transformed into tendrils of incense, entwining and climbing towards the Sovereign statue...]
[However, just as the tendrils of Malice were about to touch the Sovereign statue, it flashed with pure white light, and the approaching tendrils of Malice fizzed and dissolved as if they were lard encountering fierce flames...]
[It seems the Sovereign statue has a strong aversion to the Incense Fire of Malice.]
Lin Xun slaps his forehead: "Sorry, almost forgot that friendly big shots avoid Malice like the plague."
