Luo Feng didn't waste too much time dwelling on this matter. If the crafting time needed to be extended, then so be it.
As long as he could craft a Mystic Ice Blade that satisfied him, that would be enough.
Next, Luo Feng turned his attention to the silver treasure chest.
A silver treasure chest that emitted a seven-colored glow and could even fly—this naturally piqued Luo Feng's curiosity.
Now, the silver treasure chest lay motionless on the ground.
Had it grown tired of flying, or simply chosen to stop?
Without hesitation, Luo Feng approached the silver treasure chest and picked it up.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a mysterious seven-colored rainbow faintly wrapped around the chest, shimmering beautifully.
Just the appearance alone was enough to captivate Luo Feng.
He hoped the item inside wouldn't disappoint.
Luo Feng extended his right hand and opened the silver treasure chest.
Opening the seven-colored treasure chest:
"Obtained Perfect-Grade Seven-Colored Glazed Pagoda: +1"
"Obtained Perfect-Grade Flying Talisman: +10 minutes"
Ten Thousand-Fold Reward:
"Obtained Mythical-Grade Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda: +1"
"Obtained Perfect-Grade Flying Talisman: +10,000,000 minutes"
"Holy shit, a Mythical-Grade artifact? A Divine Artifact?"
Luo Feng's expression turned to one of shock as he heard the system's notification. He had actually obtained a Mythical-Grade artifact?
This...
Was he about to strike it rich?
He had only just arrived in the ocean a few days ago, and now he had a Mythical-Grade artifact?
A pagoda radiating nine-colored light floated out of the silver treasure chest.
White, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black.
From bottom to top, it had nine layers, each corresponding to one of the nine colors.
The interplay of these hues was dazzlingly radiant.
Could this be the legendary Divine Artifact?
Just its appearance alone screamed power.
With trembling excitement, Luo Feng reached out with his right hand to touch the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda.
But then, something astonishing happened.
The Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda dodged his touch.
"Ding. The Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda senses too much killing intent in your right hand and refuses to be touched by it." Luo Feng was stunned.
Could it really detect the dirty work his right hand had done in the past?
Feeling a bit speechless, Luo Feng immediately used his Legendary Grappling Hook to snatch the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda. As soon as he held it, a stream of information flooded his mind.
After processing it, Luo Feng froze. The Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda was actually a support-type Divine Artifact—and it could only unleash its full power when wielded by a woman? This was awkward.
If he claimed it for himself, he wouldn't be able to maximize its potential. Moreover, as a support artifact, it wouldn't significantly boost his combat strength.
After some thought, Luo Feng decided to give the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda to Tang Xuewei. It would be perfect for her to support him.
Luo Feng didn't hesitate and immediately directed the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda toward Tang Xuewei. Suddenly, the pagoda erupted with a brilliant light.
What happened next left Luo Feng utterly astonished.
It completely surpassed his understanding.
He saw the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda actually circling around Tang Xuewei.
Tang Xuewei, witnessing this, also wore an expression of shock and confusion. As she observed the pagoda's movements, it seemed she understood what it meant.
Slowly, Tang Xuewei extended her right hand.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda actually landed in her palm.
The moment she made contact with it, the pagoda suddenly vanished, and a flood of information surged into her mind.
Immediately, she felt her head grow dizzy, her body swaying uncontrollably as if about to collapse.
When Luo Feng noticed the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda disappear from Tang Xuewei's right hand, he was utterly bewildered. What was going on?
Even if the pagoda was more suited for women, there was no need for such an extreme reaction, right?
Before Luo Feng could ponder further, he saw Tang Xuewei's body tilting. He quickly accelerated, rushing out of the Ice Spring.
He caught her just before she hit the ground.
"Wei, what's wrong? Answer me! Did that Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda do something to you?"
At Luo Feng's last words, Tang Xuewei completely lost consciousness.
Luo Feng looked down at the unconscious Tang Xuewei in his arms, his face filled with worry, his eyes reflecting rare concern.
He began to think rapidly—what had just happened?
Tang Xuewei had only collapsed after coming into contact with the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda.
This had to be related to the pagoda.
Could it be that the pagoda had entered her body?
Just as Luo Feng was deep in thought—
BOOM!
A deafening thunderclap echoed.
The sky darkened with thick clouds, lightning flashing ominously.
Luo Feng was so startled by the sudden change in the sky that he nearly jumped out of his skin.
Out of nowhere, a thunderous explosion.
He looked up directly above him—the black clouds were multiplying.
Countless bolts of lightning gathered within them.
Luo Feng had an overwhelming premonition: soon, thunder would strike.
He couldn't recall making any vows.
Why would lightning target him?
Unless...?
A bold speculation formed in Luo Feng's mind, drawn from his years of reading novels.
This Thunder Tribulation had been triggered by the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda.
The emergence of a Divine Artifact often provoked a Thunder Tribulation to hinder it.
Because every Divine Artifact defied the natural order.
Those that couldn't withstand the tribulation would be obliterated by the lightning.
Those that survived would emerge even more powerful.
If this was truly the case, they were in serious trouble now.
Luo Feng currently lacked the strength to withstand the Thunder Tribulation. He quickly turned to the Black Tortoise—its defenses were strong, but could it possibly endure this?
The Black Tortoise, seeing Luo Feng's gaze, immediately understood the situation.
In its adult form, it wouldn't fear mere lightning.
But right now, it was barely a day old—just a newborn.
It had no ability to withstand the force of the thunder.
And judging by the ominous clouds gathering in the sky, this Thunder Tribulation was going to be devastating.
It quickly shook its head, indicating it was powerless to help.
Seeing the Black Tortoise's reaction, Luo Feng felt even more uncertain. He said, "Never mind whether you can withstand it or not. Right now, your shell is the toughest thing we've got here. You'll take the first hit later, and I'll figure something out."
Just then, Tang Xuewei in Luo Feng's arms began to emit a nine-colored glow. Luo Feng was immediately drawn to this strange phenomenon and looked down at her in his arms. The phenomenon lasted only nine seconds before vanishing without a trace.
While Luo Feng was still puzzling over what had happened, suddenly, the sky began to clear. The dark clouds completely disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened. These changes left Luo Feng utterly dumbfounded.
Could it be that the Thunder Tribulation took pity on him because he was too handsome to strike?
"Luo Feng, what's wrong? Why am I in your arms?" Hearing Tang Xuewei's voice, Luo Feng's face lit up with joy.
Luo Feng quickly explained, "You suddenly fainted and were about to fall, so I caught you."
