Chapter 2640 Lu Boya’s Calamity

Lu Boya laughed and said, "After these two tests, I believe you have the ability to fight against the Luo Clan."

Lin Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "Mister Lu, it's just a meeting, why do we need to do such a test? If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have died from the Magnetic Wind Belt long ago."

Lu Boya laughed and said, "You are you, and others are others, and there is absolutely no comparison between them. Furthermore, although I left Miluo Grotto Heaven sixty years ago, I know everything that has happened in the Eternal True Realm in recent years.

"Others may not be able to enter the Magnetic Wind Belt, but you definitely can. After all, even the Immortal Imperial Clans of the Sixth Heaven Domain now know that you have a trump card in your hand that is able to fight against law powers. In this case, it should be no problem to fight against the spatial law power in the Magnetic Wind Belt."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the nine restriction layers and the test of the Eternity Coffin, they had originally been prepared for you. It would be strange if you couldn’t solve them."

Lin Xun suddenly realized that Mister Lu had thought carefully about these two tests.

"But, why did I need to collect Divine Magnetic Iron?" Lin Xun asked.

Lu Boya simply said, "Take out your life-bound Emperor weapon."

Lin Xun immediately took out the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and handed it over.

Lu Boya held it in his hand and inspected it for a long time. With a look of amazement in his eyes, he finally said, "This treasure is no longer comparable to ordinary Emperor-grade weapons. Although I don't know the full breadth of its true capabilities, I can see that the whole treasure is imbued with a very well hidden whiff of immortality. In addition, there is also the aura of law powers, which is quite magical. I think you must have treated this treasure as your life's work over the years."

Lin Xun couldn't help but voice his admiration, "Mister Lu, you have a good eye."

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron had survived the unprecedented strange tribulation and was also reshaped by that tribulation. It had absorbed his essence, qi, and spirit, and was also imbued with the power of the Phoenix Flame of Order.

Over the years, some of the treasures that Lin Xun has seized had immortal matter, and they were almost all refined by the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.

Even without mentioning these, his weapon had been immersed in the nourishment of Nirvana law power for many years, which had made it completely different.

At the very least, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was no longer too weak to fight against immortal-grade weapons!

Mister Lu laughed and scolded him, "What good eye? When did you become so slick?!"

He had watched Lin Xun grow up, and he had been strict and demanding on him since he was a child. Thus, when Lin Xun was a young teenager, he had a calmness and wisdom that his peers did not have.

However, because of this, he had also lacked the liveliness and energy that a teenager should have had. This was somewhat of a pity.

Mister Lu was still very pleased when he looked at Lin Xun, as if a seedling he had planted with his own hands had now grown into a towering tree that could shelter others from the wind and rain alone!

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Mister Lu, tell more about Divine Magnetic Iron."

Mister Lu handed the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to Lin Xun and said, "Although I can't help you further improve this treasure, I know that Divine Magnetic Iron, as a rare divine material, can not only be used to refine immortal-grade weapons, but also withstand the power of time."

Lin Xun was surprised and asked, "Withstand the power of time?"

"Yes, your great-grandfather's Blade of Light and Shadow has a hundred thousand pounds of Divine Magnetic Iron within it, so it has a bit of the power of time within it. Otherwise, ordinary treasures would not be able to withstand the erosion and destruction of the power of time."

Lu Boya then continued, "The Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer is an innate talent related to the power of time. When you awaken its fourth stage, you can condense the power of time into a law and imprint it in your own life-bound Emperor weapon. This way, when you fight, you can exert the power of time with every move.

"And this is exactly why your great-grandfather was feared by the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain!"

Lin Xun was shocked and finally understood Lu Boya's good intentions. Making him collect a hundred thousand pounds of Divine Magnetic Iron was clearly paving the way for him to condense the law of time in his weapon in the future!

Lu Boya smiled gently and said, "The nine layers of restrictions covering the outside of Miluo Grotto Heaven before were the nine formations used in refining Divine Magnetic Iron and condensing the law of time. I believe you have now understood all the mysteries behind them. Now you also have a hundred thousand pounds of Divine Magnetic Iron. When you step into the immortal realm, you can condense a strand of the law of time in your sword cauldron."

Lin Xun was excited. The nine layers of restrictions actually had such a deep meaning behind them! This was completely beyond his expectations, and it was obvious how attentive Mister Lu's arrangements had been!

Although Mister Lu did not say much after they met, nor had he shown any excitement or loss of composure, it was obvious that he spent all of these years planning and scheming for him. This kind of meticulous care warmed the depths of his heart.

"If you are touched, then just say it. I will not treat you as harshly as I did back then," Lu Boya said with a smile.

"Uh..." Lin Xun also smiled and said, "I just don't understand why a hundred thousand pounds of Divine Magnetic Iron can only imprint a wisp of law power of time."

Lu Boya glared at him and huffed, "You must have experienced the power of the Blade of Light and Shadow. Luo Yunshan did not have the innate talent of the Great Abyss Heaven Devourer, nor had he mastered the law of time, but he was still able to use it. How terrible was the power of the Blade of Light and Shadow? Yet it only had a wisp of law power of time."

Lin Xun said, "What if I have more Divine Magnetic Iron on hand?"

Lu Boya was startled. Then he realized something and responded with a strange look, "Apparently, the recent rumors are true. The Divine Magnetic Mountain in the Magnetic Wind Belt was indeed taken away by you."

Lin Xun smiled and admitted to it.

"In this case, then it is indeed possible to imprint more than a wisp of law power of time, but I have never tried it. When that time comes, we can work on it together." Lu Boya pondered.

"With Mister Lu's help, it's definitely possible,” Lin Xun flattered him slyly.

Lu Boya pointed at his student and laughed.

This kid.. is really different from how he was as a child!

"Mister Lu, what is your cultivation level now?" Lin Xun suddenly asked. This was something he had been wondering for a long time.

Lu Boya thought for a moment and said, "I have recovered about eighty percent of my previous cultivation. Well, it is probably equivalent to...a Heavenly Longevity Immortal in this epoch. However, in terms of killing others, with my skills with dao runes, I don’t need to worry much even if I need to face off someone at the Nirvana Spirit Stage.”

Heavenly Longevity Stage?

Eighty percent recovered?

Lin Xun was surprised and said, "Mister Lu, then why were you being chased around by people like Yanxing and the Nameless Esteemed Emperor when you were in the lower realm?"

This was truly not making any sense to him. If it was because he had been suppressed by the law power of the lower realm, then Yanxing would have also been suppressed. However, she was the one who had destroyed the mine prison with her own hands, forcing Lu Boya to escape!

In short, his teacher from back then...was too weak.

"This involves the Five Dao Decays." Lu Boya didn't seem surprised that Lin Xun would ask this question and explained, "Your mother should have told you that I was coincidentally lucky enough to survive from the last epoch, but even though I was helped by your great-grandfather, my cultivation was still affected by the Five Dao Decays.

"This kind of calamity was born from the destruction of an epoch, and it is extremely terrifying. The so-called Five Dao Decays are the body, soul, heart, mind, and cultivation. All five aspects will suffer from the effects of the Five Dao Decays.

"Body calamity is also called the catastrophe of the shell. Once it gets affected, the body will decay, rot, and die.

"Soul calamity is a calamity targeting the soul.

"Heart calamity is the most bizarre. Once the heart is in trouble, one’s state of mind will collapse and one will become insane.

"Mind calamity targets willpower. Even if a wisp of a person’s willpower was left in the world, it will still be wiped out.

"And the cultivation calamity is naturally aimed at one’s full cultivation.

"Under the Five Dao Decays, all living beings, regardless of their level of cultivation, will be destroyed forever. Even those who are as powerful as Immortals will not be able to escape the threat of the destruction of their epoch!"

His voice was low, revealing a strong sense of fear, "The last epoch was so brilliant and glorious, but only a small number of people were able to survive its destruction.

"Back then, through a pure fluke, I was lucky enough to block this disaster and survive with the help of a talisman treasure left by the sect.

"However, for countless years, I have been suffering from the influence and effects of the Five Dao Decays..."

Lin Xun couldn't help but shudder after hearing this as he thought of the law spirit, Wushuang. She was the law spirit of the Genesis Realm and had been supreme, above all living beings. Unfortunately, it was also during the destruction of the epoch that she had encountered the Five Dao Decays and almost ended up disappearing!

In addition, according to Mister Lu, even those who were as powerful as Immortals would also be threatened by such a catastrophe! This made people feel terrified just thinking about it.

"When I was in the Eternal True Realm, your great-grandfather used a forbidden secret method to help me dissolve some of the power of the Five Dao Decays within me so that I could maintain my peak combat power."

Lu Boya explained, "But after your great-grandfather left, and I fled to the lower realm with your mother and uncle, the dormant Five Dao Decays in me broke out, and my cultivation was on the edge of collapsing. I had to endure these torments and lie low. Otherwise, how could I have watched you and your parents fall into horrendous danger back then?"

His voice was full of resentment, helplessness, and bitterness. The Five Dao Decays! Only after one had truly experienced them would one understand the horror of being under such a calamity!

Lin Xun finally understood at this time why the Mister Lu of his memories was so weak back then. It turned out that all this was related to the Five Dao Decays.

"Are you still affected by such a calamity now?" Lin Xun couldn't help asking.

Lu Boya nodded, "Back then, your great-grandfather and I had conducted many tests and deductions, and finally came to the conclusion that if we don't see through the mysteries of eternity and immortality, we will never be able to truly eliminate this strange power.

"That's why your great-grandfather was so persistent in attacking the Eternity Door. He was worried that one day in the future, he would also encounter the Five Dao Decays, and planned to prepare countermeasures in advance, but unfortunately... In the end, he failed..."
