Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Mu Yue, I feel that the 5th-turn cultivator is much stronger than the 4th-turn cultivator." Brook said.

Brook's Blood Demon and Diamond abilities were at very high levels, and his Magic Resistance and Defense were significantly higher than those of ordinary Rank 4 cultivators. Furthermore, his Defense Ring doubled his Magic Resistance and Defense stats. He had originally thought that even a Rank 4 cultivator, let alone a Rank 5 cultivator, would be unable to break his defense. However, in the recent melee, Brook had been sent flying multiple times. Those Rank 5 cultivators were far more powerful than he had imagined.

"Yes. When you reach the 5th turn, in addition to being able to wear legendary equipment, you will also be blessed with zodiac accessories; 5th turn monks can also wear other special equipment, such as fashion; there is also a kind of Nirvana equipment, which can be integrated with legendary equipment or above, which is equivalent to having one more set of equipment attributes than the 4th turn monk. Therefore, the 5th turn monk will be much stronger than the 4th combat monk, just like the difference between the 1st turn monk and the novice monk." Wenren Muyue explained.

"What are the zodiac signs and Nirvana equipment you mentioned?" Brook asked.

"The Zodiac is a type of accessory. There are 12 of them. They significantly increase attack stats. If you collect half, or all 12, they'll grant a set effect, with a chance to freeze or slow enemies, or form a small energy shield to block some damage. The Zodiac map is on the 6th level continent, so it's not convenient for us to enter right now."

"As for the Nirvana series equipment, it can only be dropped by special humanoid monsters. Do you remember the ancient magic souls on the third floor of the underground palace abyss? They are those humanoid monsters. They are dead imperial monks who have been resurrected for some unknown reason, like a rebirth of Nirvana. Unfortunately, they have lost their sanity and become no different from monsters. These humanoid monsters are very powerful, but fortunately, most of them are in the Warcraft battlefield. The equipment that drops from them is called Nirvana equipment."

"There are many types of Nirvana equipment, such as Ancient, Pangu, Antiquity, Primordial, Origin, Era, Eternal, Creation, etc. Our ancestors discovered that this kind of Nirvana equipment can not only be worn, but also be Nirvana-fused with legendary equipment and above. They form a pair of 2, and if you put together a pair, there will be a set effect. The whole set of equipment can add a lot of attributes." Wenren Muyue said in detail.

Brook understood. No wonder the 5th-turn monk was so powerful. It turned out that he had an extra set of Nirvana equipment.

"Fifth Rank is a hurdle. Once you reach it, you're considered a master. You know, my sister doesn't need to do any experience quests now, including the Jade Pendant, Formation, Blood Demon, and Diamond Demon Subduing Hall quests. After reaching Fifth Rank, you can directly claim experience scrolls and Demon Subduing Hall quest rewards every day. It's very convenient."

"However, it is quite difficult to upgrade to the 5th turn. We used to be able to use the 3rd turn pill and 4th turn pill to open up the blood nodes and reincarnate quickly. But it is difficult to get reincarnation pills above the 5th turn. Therefore, even those who are very diligent have to accumulate blood essence for at least a year and a half before they can upgrade to the 5th turn." Wenren Muyue said again.

"No wonder. Gu Zhizi sold me more than ten 10th-turn pills, but I haven't got a single 4th-turn pill yet." Brook said.

"I heard that rank 5 pills can only be obtained by killing high-level monsters in the Warcraft battlefield. However, high-level monsters are not only powerful, but also intelligent. Even if they cannot be defeated, they know how to escape. They are very difficult to kill."

Brook nodded. It was the Warcraft battlefield again. He had to go there sooner or later.

"Do you have to be level 5 to enter the World of Warcraft battlefield?" Brook asked.

"That's not the case. Theoretically, anyone can enter. But it's too dangerous inside. It's easy to die before reaching the fifth level. Also, once inside, one must complete a specific task or stay for a sufficient period of time before being allowed to leave. In short, it's easy to get in but difficult to get out. Even for cultivators above the fifth level, few are willing to take the risk."

"The Warcraft Battlefield is permanently garrisoned by the Dragon Guard. Every 20 years, a massive beast tide erupts. During this time, the Empire sends additional personnel and calls upon major clans and independent cultivators to assist in the defense against the monsters. It's been 16 years since the last beast tide erupted. With less than 4 years left, we must improve our strength as quickly as possible to survive the Warcraft Battlefield."

"4 years..." Brook fell silent.

If one slowly accumulates bloodline essence, even with utmost effort, over four years, one can only reach the sixth level. Sixth level sounds impressive, but it's nothing in the Warcraft battlefield. Remember, Wenren Tianxiang, who had already reached the seventh level when they entered the battlefield, was nearly wiped out by the Warcraft, and he was the only one who survived.

4 years, 6 transfers, not enough.

Brook thought for a moment and said:

"Mu Yue, I want to go to the third level of the abyss and meet that ancient magic soul again."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two of them reached the third floor of the Abyss and quickly found the Ancient Mage Soul at the bottom of the map. This was a female mage holding a magic shield, level 180, with 130 million HP and 1800-2400 mana.

The last time he came, Brook was only at level 70. He was no match for this ancient magic spirit.

This time it's different. Brook's strength has increased significantly. Apart from anything else, his magic defense alone is as high as 576-1198. In addition, the artifact defense ring doubles the defense and magic defense, the skill necklace has a 100% trigger attribute cap, and the primitive shield has a 20% damage reduction. The ancient magic soul can't beat Brook at all.

But Brook and the others were very slow in hitting it, because the ancient magic soul would use a magic shield, and most of the damage was absorbed by the magic shield, making the attack very slow.

"Uncle Bo taught me how to beat it. Brook, lure it to the corner, where there is a depression, lure it in. Yes! Then we go to the other side of the corner and keep the distance as far as possible. Okay, here, let's beat it slowly." Wenren Muyue said.

Brooke followed Wenren Muyue's method and was surprised to find that after the ancient magic spirit's magic shield was broken, it didn't activate a new magic shield! Perhaps it was because of the distance, the wall, or its low IQ. In short, it continued to take damage but couldn't see the enemy; and if it couldn't see the enemy, it wouldn't activate the magic shield.

Without the protection of the magic shield, the Ancient Soul of Magic quickly fought. In less than 10 minutes, the two killed the Ancient Soul of Magic, and dropped an ordinary Red Moon equipment and an ancient bracelet.

远古镯：攻击/魔法/道术7-16，防御10-23。需要等级108。

If you collect the Ancient Bracelet and Ancient Finger, the Ancient Courage set effect will be triggered: additional attack/magic/Taoism 2-9, health 350, and agility 5.

Brook looked closely at the ancient bracelet. This was Nirvana equipment.

In terms of stats, the Ancient Bracelet is slightly better than the second-tier Cloud Bracelet, but not as good as the third-tier Taurus Bracelet. However, if you factor in the set bonus, it's still slightly better than the Taurus equipment. However, this Ancient equipment isn't worth much, as it's the worst of the Nirvana equipment.

This equipment can be worn right now, but its greatest use is to fuse with Legendary equipment and above. After fusion, the attributes of the legendary equipment will be added, including the set effect.

This is only the lowest-level ancient equipment among Nirvana equipment. If it is a more advanced Pangu, Taigu, or even Origin, Era, etc., it must be more powerful.

No wonder a 5th-turn monk is so much stronger than a 4th-turn monk.

"If you want to collect Nirvana equipment, there is an ancient war soul on the outskirts of the empire. We can go look for it. It also has a chance to drop ancient series equipment." Wenren Muyue said.

Brooke and Wenren Muyue had encountered that ancient war spirit before. It was level 180, had 260 million HP, and 2000-3000 attack damage. It was very adept at running and assassinating, and could easily send a foe flying. Because it was so difficult to fight and didn't drop any good equipment, the monks of the Empire avoided it as much as possible.

"No need. I just want to try to defeat the humanoid monster myself and take a look at the attributes of the Nirvana equipment." Brook put away the ancient bracelet and said, "Let's go to the first floor of the abyss. The Ice Palace Guardian has already been farmed. While the underground palace abyss is still in the family's hands, we should try to get as many medals, shields, and veils as possible."

There are only 3 days left for the 5-month ownership of the Underground Palace Abyss.
