Chapter 44: Mystery of the Infinite Ring
“Baptism of Holy Light! Purify it!”
A beam of holy light descended onto the surface of the box. The red coloring that coated its surface promptly drew back, revealing its original color.
“Such a dazzling golden light! I wonder what good things are in here…”
After casting a simple spell, Mike was brimming with excitement as he prepared to open the box.
The moment his fingertip made contact with the box, streaks of red light emerged from its crevices as it opened.
[Congratulations on obtaining an Infinite Ring]
[Congratulations on obtaining an Auto Demon Repelling Formation]
[Congratulations on obtaining a Miracle Fragment]
Mike was overjoyed as he gazed at the three treasures in the box.
[Hidden Information: Infinite Ring. Quality unknown. Can be used to cast spells. Its ability is equivalent to a God-tier staff. The host will receive a rare skill upon wearing it for the first time.]
[Hidden Information: Auto Demon Repelling Formation Blueprint. Grandmaster-grade. Once the formation appears, it will follow the host indefinitely. It is equivalent to an exorcism halo. Regular Exotic Beasts below Overlord-tier will be unable to cause any damage to the host.
Materials required for the formation to be crafted: 3 King-tier Exotic Beast Fangs, a bottle of King-tier Exotic Beast Blood essence, and a Prismatic Crystal.]
[Hidden Information: Miracle Fragment. Legend has it that Miracle was created by the God of Creation, Ogallas. Miracle has six divine sky pillars. This Miracle Fragment is a broken piece of one of those six divine sky pillars. It can be used to craft divine equipment.]
‘The God of Creation, Ogallas? Could he be the God of Creation that Kyle mentioned? The main god that dominates the entirety of Miracle?
‘This Auto Demon Repelling Formation is quite interesting… I’ve heard of the first two materials. As for the Prismatic Crystal… We’ll think about it later.’
Mike picked up the Infinite Ring from the box.
The ring itself was a dark green color, and impenetrably hard. At its inlay rested an aquamarine gemstone that was emitting a strange glow.
Mike couldn’t wait anymore, and proceeded to put on the Infinite Ring.
[Connecting with host, absorbing energy… Connection successful!]
The moment he did, he felt his spiritual world affected by a powerful force.
As he closed his eyes, a scene similar to the Sky Palace appeared in his mind.
As Mike gazed in awe at the towering buildings of the Eastern world, a beautiful maiden emerged from the Sky Palace, walking toward him.
The girl’s face resembled a peach blossom, and her figure was like a fleeting shadow. She was dressed in ancient eastern clothing and made her way lightly toward him.
“It’s been 3,000 years. I didn’t think that I would be able to see Earthlings again.”
Mike gawked at the girl before him, stunned. He had never seen such a more beautiful lady in his life.
Even the past female stars that he had seen on old Earth television programs dwindled compared to her.
“May I ask if you are a fairy from Miracle?”
Mike asked in a daze.
“Fairy! Hahahaha, it’s been a long time since anyone’s called me that.”
The woman’s lips curled into a smile. Mike looked into her eyes that seemed to be filled with the essence of spring, and felt his heart ripple.
“I am the master of this Infinite Ring. I’m imprisoned here because I was defeated in a Miracle war three thousand years ago.”
Mike stared at the young lady in front of him. He had not expected her to be three thousand years old.
“Earthling, now you’ve appeared and released the first seal attached to this spiritual ring. I can give you a cultivation technique that surpasses anything seen in the entirety of the Miracle world, but on the condition…”
“The condition would naturally be to help you release all the seals of this spiritual ring, right?”
Mike interrupted her, speaking matter-of-factly.
“Don’t get too excited so soon. That, of course, is a necessary prerequisite. Apart from that, you also have to help me find someone.”
“Who?”
“It’s the so-called creator of your Miracle word, the god Ogallas!”
Mike couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble.
Hadn’t the hidden message mentioned the creator god Ogallas just now? Now this… probably an old lover of the creator god, pops up immediately after that.
“Why do you have to consider such a small request for so long? I simply want you to help me find him, not kill him. Do you really need to think about it that much?”
The young-looking girl’s goading showed that she was clearly used to pure-hearted youths like Mike.
“Alright, alright. I promise you!”
“Good! If that’s the case, I may as well tell you that my name is Zhao Ruoxian, and I’m one of the main eastern gods of this Miracle world. The creator god, Ogallas, is the person who sealed me back then.”
Only when she finished did Mike come to a realization. This Zhao Ruoxian and the creator god weren’t old friends. She wanted his help to find her enemy in order to take revenge.
Just a moment ago, he had been lucky enough to survive the encounter with the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast. Now, he was going to make an enemy out of the creator god, Ogallas. Mike couldn’t help but feel a hint of fear in his heart.
“Do you see the Heavenly Palace behind me? The cultivation technique I promised you just now resides in it. As for which technique is fated to befall you, that will depend on yourself.”
Mike gazed at the Heavenly Palace behind Zhao Ruoxian as he asked, puzzled.
“In such a big Heavenly Palace, how am I going to find a cultivation technique that suits me?”
“Everything depends on fate. Go quickly, I need to rest.”
“Hey, hey! You haven’t told me the method to release the seals! How many seals are there that haven’t been opened?”
Mike’s voice faded away.
Zhao Ruoxian raised her hand, and a breeze carried her away as she flew into the sky. Soon after, she disappeared from Mike’s sight.
“You want me to find someone, but you won’t tell me where to find them. You want me to help you open the seals, but you won’t tell me the method. You want me to find a cultivation technique that suits me, but you won’t show me the way. In such a huge Heavenly Palace, how would I know where to look?”
[Hidden Information: The first floor of the Heavenly Palace is filled with ordinary low-level cultivation techniques. There are very few high-level ones among them. The second floor is filled with high-level cultivation techniques, but most of them are unsuitable for growth. The third floor is filled with ordinary books. However, the most powerful cultivation technique in the entire Heavenly Palace exists in a mysterious room on the third floor. The key to accessing the room is at the top of the Heavenly Palace.]
‘Fortunately, I have a hint from the hidden information. It looks like the most powerful cultivation technique in the Heavenly Palace will belong to me.”
Mike walked toward the palace, pushing open the heavy golden doors. The Eastern surroundings that graced his eyes had only ever existed in the descriptions of the Golden Throne Temple in the ancient books.
A towering Golden Colossus stood as the centerpiece on the first floor of the Great Hall. Above the Colossus’s head hung a plaque made of pure gold. Inscribed on it were the words, ‘There is no door to the immortal method, no road to seek the path’.
On both sides of the main hall were rows of bookshelves made of fragrant jade.
The tiles on the floor were made of glass. As the doors shut behind him, Mike witnessed in awe the legendary Eastern World’s Temple with his own eyes.
‘I can’t stay here for too long. I need to find the mysterious room quickly!’
