Chapter 844: Chapters 591-592: Heavenly Net
Standing motionless on the Peacock Dragon, Ming Xuan was completely dumbfounded. The same magical artifact in different hands could display such a stark difference—this was simply unbelievable!
Seeing Ming Xuan's stunned expression, Xin Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "With your current level of strength, it would take at least eight swipes to seize the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk. Yet earlier, you couldn't even land a single swipe. Now… do you understand the importance of mastering magical artifacts?"
Gulping with difficulty, Ming Xuan nodded bitterly. It was true… When he first obtained this artifact, it took him all his efforts to make eight consecutive swipes to succeed. But earlier… when Xin Yun wielded the artifact, Ming Xuan couldn't even manage a single swipe. If this had been a real life-and-death battle, Ming Xuan would already be a dead man.
Although the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk is merely a mid-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, once it strikes, it's nearly unstoppable. While other Innate Spiritual Treasures can block it, the Disk's sheer agility allows it to evade interference and directly target its opponent!
In other words, when wielded skillfully, the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk is practically invincible. Even if you were holding the Chaos Bell, it would be useless. As long as it circumvents the Chaos Bell, it can still slice through your body. There's nothing that can effectively intercept the cutting force of this artifact—it's like a miniature super-powered chainsaw!
The Cosmic Light emitted from it blocks all forms of visual tracking and ensures automatic accuracy. However, even with these attributes, this artifact remains a mid-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure. To illustrate… while it's immensely powerful, it can still be countered as Ming Xuan proved. If attacked continuously and its momentum depleted, its power will sharply decline. Once its rotational speed slacks off, even hitting a target wouldn't amount to much damage.
This is an artifact that demands great technical mastery and intellect. With exceptional skill and ingenuity, it can even hold its ground against Innate Supreme Treasures. However, without proper technique, it's barely a mediocre mid-tier Spiritual Treasure.
Once activated, the artifact automatically emits Cosmic Light and locks onto a target. You could say… it's a type of artifact that, once unleashed, requires minimal further intervention. But… "minimal" doesn't mean "none."
During its flight, the artifact can still be actively controlled. Thanks to the rotational mechanics of the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk, its flight paths are extraordinarily agile. Much like a flying saucer, its trajectories can reach surreal levels of precision. Even at top speeds, it's capable of making abrupt 90-degree or even 180-degree turns! Such maneuverability is impossible for other flying-type artifacts to achieve.
When mastered, this artifact becomes comparable to a Supreme Spiritual Treasure. Handle it poorly, and it's nothing more than a scrap artifact. While it barely qualifies as a mid-tier Spiritual Treasure, it's unreasonable to expect it to unleash any significant power. In many scenarios, it might even fare worse than low-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Holding the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk in his hand, Xin Yun pondered for a moment before lifting his head to look at Ming Xuan. Smiling, he said, "This is indeed a fine artifact. You did a great job this time."
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan's eyes lit up with excitement. This was the first time he had actually managed to help Xin Yun. Although the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk was impressive, to Ming Xuan, it was no different from trash.
What Ming Xuan treasured most was the Five-Colored Divine Light. Even though Xin Yun's encouragement had made him value magical artifacts a bit more, he still considered artifacts like the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk to be junk. Simply put, its style clashed with his approach. He had no time to study the Art of Controlling Treasures for the artifact. To him, that time would be better spent further refining his Five-Colored Divine Light. Once fully mastered, the Five-Colored Divine Light could effortlessly capture something as troublesome as the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk.
After a brief moment of thought, Xin Yun pushed the Diamond Fruit toward Yi Luo Xiang, saying, "You'll have to participate in the next round of competition. Can you handle it?"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang confidently nodded and accepted the Diamond Fruit. At the same time, Xin Yun pointed to the magical artifacts on the table, saying, "Since you're in the competition, these three artifacts will be temporarily under your control. No matter what, you must ensure victory!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Luo Xiang's eyes immediately lit up. She quickly reached out, grabbed the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk, and exclaimed with delight, "In that case, I'll choose the Meridian Cosmic Light Disk. With this little guy, I don't need the other two artifacts. This one is my favorite, and it's the most suitable for me!"
Shaking his head with a smile, Xin Yun didn't say much. He simply stored the other two artifacts and calmly explained, "Right now, there aren't enough artifacts to go around, so I'll temporarily keep them. However… anyone who needs one can request it from me anytime. I can use the Tai Chi Diagram to deliver the artifact to your hands instantly. It's no different than carrying it in your pocket."
No one opposed Xin Yun's arrangement. While the artifacts could be entrusted to someone else, the question was: who should that person be? And on what grounds? This could easily lead to conflicts.
They could rotate the artifacts among everyone, but that would be even more troublesome. If someone urgently needed one, would they have to go around asking who currently had it? That might be manageable during normal times, but in a critical moment, such delays could result in disastrous consequences.
