Chapter 625 - 384: Tower of True Sight

Chapter 625: Chapter 384: Tower of True Sight

An Su sat alone in a gray attic. Lu Cang’s Sea of Consciousness was magnificent, so vast it was hard to believe it was merely a sea of consciousness. But this immense sea also exuded a profoundly oppressive, high-ranking pressure.

A Sea of Consciousness is also a manifestation of the mind.

By seeing a person’s Sea of Consciousness, one could probably get a sense of what kind of person they were.

And now, the feeling Lu Cang’s Sea of Consciousness gave An Su was that he was no longer a person, but a great being who looked down upon the mortal realm and its mundane affairs.

CLANG—

CLANG—

CLANG—

Forging really was a time-consuming affair.

Lu Cang normally didn’t bother simulating Forging in his Future Previews.

Crafting some complex pieces of equipment could even take more than a full day, like the one he was working on now.

Under the searing heat of the Melting Sacred Flame, the metal before him rippled like water.

It was a flawless long robe that shimmered with a rugged, wave-like light.

After the Flame receded, one could faintly see patterns flowing across the entire robe, resembling the sulci of a brain. Though made of alloy and iron, it was incredibly light and soft, even having a squishy texture, as if touching brain matter.

Yinda Brain Robe

Although Lu Cang didn’t take Yinda’s body, he did take his brain.

According to the secret tomes of the Living Furnace Church, the different body parts of different Reincarnators could also be used to craft and refine equipment.

The Scholar’s Brain

The Observer’s Eyes

The Warrior’s Fresh Muscles

The Mage’s Brain

The Defender’s Skeleton

...

Using special Secret Techniques, these parts could be forged into living equipment with unique Effects.

The world called them "Evil Armor."

But, in the end, this was just another form of power. Lu Cang had no qualms about using it.

As for why he hadn’t crafted equipment like this before...

’It was simply because my Level wasn’t high enough, and after it was, I didn’t have enough time.’

After all, he had only obtained the Divine Level·Heart of Complete Forging after becoming a Level 2 Blacksmith, and he hadn’t had any truly complete forging recipes before that.

So naturally, it had been difficult to attempt forging Evil Armor.

Now that he had the raw materials, he could finally craft one.

Yinda Brain Robe

Equipment Tier: Tier Two

Forging Effect: Yinda Living Brain — While wearing this equipment, you can directly comprehend the knowledge the brain’s original owner learned in life.

Forging Effect: Soft Water — This equipment is as light and soft as water.

Forging Effect: Serious Domain Field — While wearing this equipment, it is easier to enter a state of mental focus.

Enchantment Effect: Tower of True Sight — The wearer of this equipment gains a Tower of True Sight within their Sea of Consciousness, allowing them to observe the truth.

This was the Brain Robe Lu Cang had forged.

In terms of Forging Effects, this type of knowledge-enhancing clothing didn’t focus much on additional offensive or defensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any powerful Tier Two alloys that could provide a greater knowledge bonus.

He couldn’t produce any other useful Forging Effects.

Putting on the gray, incredibly soft Brain Robe, Lu Cang’s spirit re-entered his Sea of Consciousness.

The first thing he saw was the palace he had built for An Su.

An Su looked up at him.

Lu Cang was like a Divine Spirit, his gaze sweeping across his Sea of Consciousness as a god would survey the mortal world.

An Su rolled his eyes and pouted.

’What a show-off,’ he muttered internally, but kept his mouth shut.

He wasn’t one to get worked up over such things, however.

Lu Cang paid An Su no mind and, in an instant, arrived at a tower shrouded in clouds within his Sea of Consciousness.

Tower of True Sight

The Enchantment Effect of this robe was like a Sea of Consciousness structure granted by Professional Mastery after a certain Profession reaches Level 5.

Lu Cang had directly obtained a new Sea of Consciousness structure.

Eye of Truth: See the truth beneath fictional disguises.

It should be quite useful for things like dispelling falsehoods, seeing through disguises, and breaking illusions.

As for the Effect’s strength...

Lu Cang couldn’t say for sure.

At the very least, it definitely couldn’t see through the concealment of the Unsolvable Mystery, which meant there were certainly other things in the world it couldn’t penetrate.

In the end, it was just an Enchantment Effect, just a structure in his Sea of Consciousness.

TAP—

In an instant, Lu Cang arrived inside the tower.

Simultaneously, in the real world, Lu Cang slowly opened his eyes. They shone with a faint white light. As his gaze swept across the room, he made no new discoveries.

Immediately after, Lu Cang spread his Perception outward.

WHOOSH—

The moment his Perception expanded, every Reincarnator at Level 3 or higher in the entire Dark City looked up at the sky.

They had all felt a tyrannical Perception sweep over them!

This Perception was as dazzling as a visible, brilliant light.

But soon, the light vanished.

WHOO—

As this wave of Perception swept past, Lu Cang saw that the entire land was slightly dimmer, even more so than it appeared to the naked eye. Parts of the land were tainted with a purplish-black corruption.

’This must be the Abyss’s erosion that Yinda mentioned in his research.’

His suicide was partly my doing.

But setting aside the Destiny of his Death, his subjective reason for suicide was his discovery of the unsolvable problem of the Abyss.

Erosion and corruption were polluting the Empty Valley...

’And now, I’ve finally seen it with my own eyes.’

Lu Cang’s Perception continued onward, turning toward Lu Luwei’s group. They had already been fighting for a day and a night...

Once an Abyss Rift opens, Abyss Creatures will continuously fall out until the Abyss Rift closes on its own.

If an Adventurer’s Guild runs out of stamina or lacks the strength to deal with these Abyss monsters, the Kingdom will take over.

The remaining spoils of war would then belong to them.

This was a huge source of income.

The vast majority of small and medium-sized Adventurer’s Guilds, even if they formed an adventurer alliance, would find it difficult to kill all the Abyss Creatures.

However, Xiumi’s Adventurer’s Guild was proving to be exceptionally ferocious this time.

The Abyss monsters were all Tier Five, the same tier as them, yet they kept killing without a hint of fatigue.

Only the Mage seemed a little tired and was recovering her Magic Power.

’This rift should last for at least three more days...’

As Lu Cang thought this, he also looked toward the Abyss Rift.

Normally, people cannot enter an Abyss Rift. There is an extremely strong repulsive force, as if the Rules of the Abyss itself are telling you that you cannot go up.

But once a person enters the Abyss from a rift, they are, in fact, moving upward.

And due to the Rules, "up" is "down." Therefore, entering the Abyss is equivalent to exiting the Abyss through the rift.

Thus, no matter what, one cannot enter through the rift.

Looking inside, one would only see pitch darkness.

However, using the Tower of True Sight, Lu Cang could now see that on the other side of the rift, a pair of eyes was looking back. It was watching Lu Luwei and Xiumi.
