Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Lu Wenwu was very interested in the Immortal Gods of this world.

Getting to know them through these mythological archaeology college students was undoubtedly a good choice.

Sooner or later, he would have to interact with the local cultivators.

Now that he was right in front of these "relics", there was naturally no reason to let the opportunity pass.

Thus, after they had eaten some egg-filled pancakes and rested for a while, Lu Wenwu immediately decided to set out for their destination—Daoist Fire True Monarch Temple.

No one had any objections.

They were here to visit this temple, so there was naturally no reason to refuse.

Walking along the road, Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, about this Dao Fire True Monarch of yours, how much do you know? What kind of person was he?"

"The senior doesn’t know?" Xu Qiao widened her eyes.

Gu Taixing quickly tugged at her.

This girl, why doesn’t she have a filter on her mouth!

Realizing she had misspoken again, Xu Qiao was about to explain, but Lu Wenwu waved his hand.

"I don’t really know much about these Ancient Immortal Gods. The era I lived in no longer had traces of them, and I was never particularly interested in such matters, always engrossed in cultivation. Naturally, I hadn’t heard of them. Could you tell me about them if you can?"

"So the senior is a cultivator from the very early human era, and now he is at least eighteen or nineteen thousand years old!" Qian Qian showed a look of realization on his face, "What would the senior like to hear about? We juniors will share all we know!"

Lu Wenwu scratched his head, pondered, and said, "Just start by telling me about the True Immortal’s life events and how he is depicted in your records."

Qian Qian immediately replied, "Dao Fire True Monarch holds a very high position in our Eastern myths and legends, at least in the top five among the Ancient Immortals in the Celestial Court of the Immortal Realm. His power is far superior to ordinary Immortals, which is why we refer to him as the True Monarch..."

According to Qian Qian, simply put, this Dao Fire True Monarch was quite formidable, considered a top-tier powerhouse among the Ancient Immortal Gods and far superior to a slew of ordinary Immortal Gods.

If placed in the current era, his power would easily qualify him for the position of Celestial Emperor or Divine King.

This is why Qian Qian and the others were so excited when they discovered a temple offering sacrifices from the Mythical Era.

Qian Qian also briefly mentioned other information they knew about the Immortal Gods, as well as what they knew about the current state of cultivators, giving Lu Wenwu a broad concept of this world.

He was just unsure about how strong these guys really were, which made Lu Wenwu quite expectant.

An A~S-level quest wouldn’t have weak opponents.

"By the way, after all this time, haven’t you found a way for everyone to embark on the path of cultivation?" Lu Wenwu asked casually like he was chatting.

At this topic, everyone’s expressions immediately turned gloomy.

Ye Gong-loving Yan Chao shook his map, grimacing, "Still no progress. In this current era, those with cultivation talent are still as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn, pitifully few."

"Without that Spirit Root, people like us can’t even sense the Spiritual Qi dispersed between heaven and earth. At most, we can make our bodies somewhat stronger through some special training methods, but that’s still within the range of ordinary people."

"It’s a bit embarrassing to say it, but the reason we wanted to visit the Daoist Fire True Monarch Temple was to see if any ancient experts left some kind of treasure that might allow us to tread the Immortal Path."

"After all... this is something left from the Mythical Era!"

Spirit Root...

Lu Wenwu discreetly used his Spiritual Power to scan the physical structures of these college students.

They didn’t seem any different from ordinary people on Blue Star.

What exactly is that Spirit Root?

Lu Wenwu was puzzled.

He pondered a bit and placed his finger on Gu Taixing’s wrist.

"Xiaogu, let’s do an experiment, don’t resist."

"Yes, Senior."

Lu Wenwu operated the Influence Body Refining Skill, transmuting a wisp of pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Power from within himself, channeling it through Gu Taixing’s Ren and Du Meridians, following his Void Vein to perform a Minor Circulation.

"Do you feel anything?" he asked.

"Feel?" Gu Taixing’s face was somewhat bewildered, "It seems... it feels a bit warm inside my body? All the previous fatigue is gone!"

"That’s all?" Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow, "You didn’t feel like some kind of airflow was moving within your body, feeling as if you could control its movement?"

Gu Taixing shook his head, "Senior, I didn’t feel anything."

"Is that so, I understand now."

Lu Wenwu casually dispersed that wisp of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, merging it into the other’s Qi Blood, and then said nothing further.

Lacking the Spirit Root means they can’t cultivate, which is a common setting in online novels and something often encountered in cultivation quests, so he knew about it.

However, according to Lu Wenwu’s understanding, even if someone can’t cultivate at all, being guided through like this should allow them to distinctly feel the presence of "Spiritual Qi".

In many cultivation quests, cultivators who have achieved success would help young children find Qi Sensitivity in this way, laying a foundation for cultivation.

But Gu Taixing was different.

Not only did he not sense "Spiritual Qi", but he also couldn’t even absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power Lu Wenwu actively infused into him, only absorbing an extremely tiny wisp.

Probably equivalent to the energy one could absorb from directly eating food.

This was also the case when they drank from the Spiritual Spring earlier; part of the energy from the Spiritual Spring filled up the deficit in their bodies, restoring them to a normal healthy range.

The remaining Heaven and Earth Primordial Power was all wasted.

This left Lu Wenwu very puzzled.
