"Don't disappoint me, Zhou Yi, after giving you such a huge advantage," Li Yu stopped laughing and glanced at the scene displayed by the system, "Next is the plot involving the Great Thunder Sound Temple."
Brushing off the dust from his clothes, Li Yu stood up. "I can't just sit idly either." Gazing at Mount Shu in the distance, Li Yu smiled. "This place also has the Taoist lineage left by Chi Songzi. The lineage itself isn't of much use to me, but the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool is extraordinary."
The system had scanned and recorded the resource information of this world, but that was just information, not the actual items. To materialize these items, the system needed to consume energy. However, if the items were directly collected, they would exist in the resource library as physical objects, requiring no energy for exchange.
"The Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool is where Chi Songzi washed his sword and comprehended his swordsmanship. It contains endless sword energy and supreme sword intent. These can be directly collected by the system. Such good things shouldn't go to waste."
Riding on a beam of light, Li Yu flew towards the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool. Following the system's guidance, he quickly arrived near the pool.
Ahead stood a towering peak, as if a giant sword pointing towards the sky. Invisible sword energy rang out with a sharp, cold clang, piercing the clouds.
"Impressive!" Even from a distance, Li Yu felt as if countless blades were slicing through him.
"System, collect the sword energy!" At his current strength, Li Yu couldn't withstand this sword energy. Moving forward would only expose him to even more terrifying sword intent, strong enough to kill saints and sages. Li Yu had no intention of risking it.
The system's resource collection function was incredibly powerful, capable of gathering all matter and energy. However, it could only continuously collect resources, not handle the explosive force of a battle.
A black hole appeared around Li Yu, endlessly absorbing the surrounding sword energy. Without the threat of the sword energy, the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool was just a steep mountain peak.
Riding the light, Li Yu flew upwards, collecting sword energy along the way, until he reached the summit.
At the peak, there was a clear lake. The sparkling waves weren't from water but from countless sword lights. By the lakeside stood a few ancient pines, their twisted branches resembling old dragons, strong and ancient. Under the trees was a stone table, lying like a reclining ox.
"This is where Chi Songzi comprehended the Tao?" Observing the scene at the summit, Li Yu felt an overwhelming, world-splitting sword intent soaring into the sky, capable of cutting through everything.
"What powerful sword intent!" Despite the system collecting the sword energy, Li Yu still felt uneasy about this sword intent. "Chi Songzi's sword intent is indeed invincible! It's a pity that even such a near-world-destroying existence couldn't achieve immortality and ultimately had to sit and pass away."
In this world, the path to immortality was severed. Even achieving the status of a Great Emperor only granted a lifespan of ten thousand years at most, which was truly unfortunate.
"This invincible sword intent, this sword path that breaks all laws, let me display its power!" With a wave of his sleeve, Li Yu commanded the system to speed up the collection of the surrounding sword energy. As time passed, the sword energy became thinner until it was completely absorbed from the mountain peak.
"These sword energies are extraordinary, but the most formidable is the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool!" Li Yu turned his gaze to the sword-light-filled lake, smiling. "Even Ye Hei didn't dare touch this in the original story. Its power is evident."
The Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool was Chi Songzi's sword-washing pool. He spent most of his life here practicing and comprehending his swordsmanship. The pool, constantly influenced by his sword intent, contained sword lights in every drop, holding supreme sword intent. When unleashed, it could destroy the world.
"This Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool has immense power and shouldn't be missed." Approaching the lakeside, Li Yu pointed at the water, releasing an invisible black hole.
"Clang!" Infinite sword lights surged like waves, with countless swords ringing. The coldness was bone-chilling, as if the pool was roaring in anger. However, it was all futile. The system rapidly absorbed the lake's endless sword lights, and within ten minutes, the enormous lake dried up.
Gentle breezes and light clouds surrounded the now serene peak, devoid of the sharp sword energy.
"Great! This is a huge harvest!" Glancing at the "Resource Library," Li Yu saw the sword-light-filled Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool and beamed with joy.
While the system had scanned all the resource information of this world, materializing them consumed significant energy. For instance, materializing the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool would nearly deplete his thousand-plus energy points. Without a steady energy source, Li Yu couldn't afford such extravagance.
Now, having acquired the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool, he could harness its power without draining the system's energy. Chi Songzi's sword intent and the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool gave Li Yu immense strength without consuming the system's energy, aiding his high-sage performances and ensuring his safety.
"By now, Zhou Yi should have reached the Great Thunder Sound Temple ruins." Looking up at the sky, Li Yu smiled. "With the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool, I don't have to worry about overusing the system's energy. I might as well hitch a ride to the Big Dipper Domain!"
A beam of sword light shot skyward as Li Yu, using the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool's power, flew towards Mars.
At this moment, on Mars, Zhou Yi and his companions had just exited the giant bronze coffin.
"Where is this?" Surveying the desolate, reddish-brown landscape, Zhou Yi saw nothing but a barren wasteland devoid of life.
"Celestial Book Spirit, where are we?" asked Zhou Yi, his mind focused on the "Celestial Book of Supreme Purity."
"Your Majesty, this is the first stop on the starry path, Mars," replied the Celestial Book Spirit. "Mars was once a great holy land, but it has since declined. Ahead lies the ruins of the Great Thunder Sound Temple. You will find valuable treasures there."
"The Great Thunder Sound Temple? Buddha's Great Thunder Sound Temple is here?" Shocked, Zhou Yi looked towards the faint glow in the distance.
"The Grandmaster said to offer the Bodhi tree as a sacrifice when I reach the Great Thunder Sound Temple. It seems he foresaw this," Zhou Yi thought, taking a deep breath. "I hope the Great Thunder Sound Temple holds the treasures I'm looking for!"
