Chapter 10: Advanced Rune Potions

He equipped the Mechanical Angel Arm Guard on his right arm, then covered it with his robe and began to nurture it with Source energy.

With Source energy nurturing and the touch of the demonic, in just a few days, Gunei would be able to freely use the Mechanical Angel Armor.

This would allow Gunei to gain the ability to fly before becoming a Transcendent Master, by borrowing the Mechanical Angel Armor.

At the same time, he would possess combat power truly comparable to that of a Transcendent Master.

After all, normal Transcendent Masters could all fly.

Previously, although Gunei was not inferior to an ordinary Transcendent Master, if the opponent took to the air, Gunei had no way to pursue them.

Subsequently, Gunei began to collect the many mechanical remains here.

While scavenging the various mechanical remains,

Gunei also searched through the important memories in Yali's mind.

The foremost among them was naturally the "Advanced Rune Potion."

Before long, Gunei would need to advance to become a Transcendent Master.

With his own safety assured and his strength steadily improving, Gunei naturally turned his thoughts to the matter of his own soul.

He could already sense that the chieftain-level Death God Beast bloodline within him was about to evolve into the lord level.

As for his soul, it was still at the elite-level peak.

Naturally, Gunei needed a more powerful soul rune potion to elevate his soul to the chieftain level and then the lord level.

From his time in the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent, Gunei had learned that

the Holy Feather Dark Source large-scale transcendent world also had soul-type rune potions capable of raising the soul to the elite level.

In fact, the market for rune potions was quite developed.

However, high-level soul rune potions that could elevate the soul from elite to chieftain level did not exist in their world.

Rune potions represented the limit of their world's research in alchemy.

After a meticulous examination of Yali's soul, Gunei gently shook his head.

"Although high-level rune potions exist in the Saint Haigaer high-dimensional world, their numbers are quite scarce."

"Moreover, they are all controlled by those divine kingdoms. Not to mention Transcendent Masters, even among the powerful at the level of divine envoys, only a very few can obtain them."

"It seems that obtaining high-level soul rune potions from other transcendent worlds is basically impossible."

"I will have to research them myself." Gunei pondered lightly.

"First, I need a more advanced and powerful 'Alchemy Manual' to use for idling, to raise my level first."

"Then, I can conduct research using the essence life water produced by my Elf Life Tree and a large number of powerful transcendent materials."

"As it stands, this first step is already difficult. Currently, I don't have a powerful alchemy manual in hand. I could seek help from the Morning Radiance Source Clan Hall Master on the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent, hoping they might have one."

"Secondly..."

As he pondered, Gunei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"From Yali's mind, I found some teleportation array coordinates for the Saint Haigaer high-dimensional world, specifically free coordinates on the edge of the battlefield, which are very suitable for me to enter Saint Haigaer."

"Even a Transcendent Master entering Saint Haigaer would only be at the level of a common soldier."

"Only by reaching the divine envoy realm does one barely qualify to enter Saint Haigaer."

"On the battlefield of Saint Haigaer, killing enemies and turning in their corpses can earn battle merits."

"Many mercenary-like divine envoys form groups on the battlefield, hunt enemies, turn in corpses, earn battle merits, and then exchange them for powerful transcendent equipment, transcendent manuals, magical items, and even more expensive treasures."

"The Mechanical Angel Armor I have in hand was exchanged by this Yali from the battlefield."

"Unfortunately, this guy had only refined it for less than a year before it fell into my hands."

"Even rare treasures like the Divine Crown can be exchanged with battle merits on the battlefield."

"Indeed, a high-dimensional transcendent world is different."

"For now, my best course is to cultivate steadily in the Oya Continent, improve my strength, spread the name of the Nightmare Dominator, and bring more transcendents into the Blood Dream Arena system. Then, in the future, there will be many places I can go and many sights I can see." Gunei mused softly.

About an hour later,

the broken mechanical remains were all collected by Gunei.

"Continue clearing the aberrant creatures, and then I can have a long period of stable idling cultivation."

...

Three days later.

Gunei passed through the transcendent gate

and returned to the Star Observation Tower.

At that time, Muland Elkeri was stationed outside the transcendent gate.

As Gunei landed, Muland Elkeri, dressed in gray robes, looked over with a smile.

Apparently, Muland Elkeri had also learned from other transcendents stationed at various nodes that the aberrant creatures had been largely cleared and that the Void Source Channel was temporarily safe.

"Thank you for your efforts, Lord Gunei. The guards have informed me of the results of the clearing."

"In fact, many of them even witnessed your methods of clearing."

"I must say, the digestive capacity of a Blood Curse Master's blood pool is truly astonishing!" Muland Elkeri said with a light laugh.

"Mm." Gunei nodded slightly.

That the blood pool could digest various organisms was not a big deal if a bit of it became known.

"Since the Void Source Channel has been cleared, if there's nothing else, I should return to go into seclusion for cultivation." Gunei said.

"Mm." Muland Elkeri nodded gently.

"By the way."

Just as he was about to leave, Gunei seemed to suddenly think of something and spoke up.

"While clearing the aberrant creatures, deep in the channel, I found signs of impact, as if mechanical remains drifting in the transcendent starry sky had collided with it."

"Oh?" Muland Elkeri raised an eyebrow.

"Mechanical remains?"

"Part of them were devoured and digested by those aberrant creatures. As you know, those aberrant creatures have very strong digestive abilities."

"But I still managed to find some."

Saying this, Gunei turned his hand and produced a piece of debris the size of a palm.

"Life metal?" Upon seeing it, Muland Elkeri exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's life metal." Gunei did not conceal it.

After all, in Gunei's hands, this life metal was still just debris and would serve no other purpose.

However, some mechanical components forged from life metal, such as Source Energy Furnaces and high-energy ray guns, which contained a wealth of transcendent technology, might be of help to the research department of the Transcendent Association.

"By the way, here are some things I found: a Source Energy Furnace and a high-energy Source Energy ray weapon."

Saying this, Gunei took out those items one by one.

Seeing these things, Muland Elkeri's eyes sparkled with divine light.

Essentially, the Oya Continent was still isolated from the outside world, in a state of isolation.

Thus, technologies from the outside world, such as steam furnaces and Source Energy furnaces based on Source Energy research, would be of great help to their transcendent world.

The steam core had already been replicated through imitation.

And these strategic technologies from the outside, like "Source Energy Furnaces" and "High-Energy Source Energy Rays," would greatly benefit their transcendent world.

"These things are truly priceless!" Holding these items, Muland Elkeri sighed with emotion.

"But for me alone, they are of little use. Only by giving them to the Transcendent Association can they realize their greater potential." Gunei said.

Through his interactions over this period, Gunei had come to trust Muland Elkeri.

He did not mind entrusting these things to him.

Holding these items, Muland Elkeri gave Gunei a deep look.

"The Transcendent Association always remembers your contributions."

"Once you advance to Transcendent Master, the Yulan Empire will personally open a seat for you. Then you will be fully qualified to participate in decisions at the Imperial Congress level."

"You should know that there hasn't been such a change in a century. Not only because you will become a deity in the future, but also because you have made immense contributions to the entire Yulan nation."

"The Congress?" Gunei rubbed his brow.

The Yulan Congress was the core of the nation's power.

The Yulan royal family was merely nominal; the true controllers of the Congress's power were the top divine envoys, ancestral spirits, and powerful imperial capital aristocrats.

As for becoming one of them, becoming a ruler who could dominate or even manipulate the nation's power,

Gunei would certainly not refuse.
