After obtaining the "Fragment of the One Yuan Golden Elixir Manual," I diligently cultivated and have now reached the peak of the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness stage... This method is called a fragment because the cultivation methods after becoming an immortal are lost, but the scriptures for the first four realms are quite complete, and it also includes a lot of knowledge on alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, talismans, etc... Hmm, the alchemy technique is the most abundant...
I've been managing this cave dwelling for decades, setting up seven or eight formations. Even a master of the Gathering Void and Merging Dao would find it difficult to break through in a short time... Who is the owner of this voice? How could she easily break all the formations I set up without me even noticing? ... I heard her say that her senior uncle Taiqing is from the Yuanshi lineage or the Tongtian lineage.
Cao Ya, with a solemn expression, bowed and said:
"I am Cao Ya, a person from the Yin Shang Dynasty. I accidentally obtained immortal techniques and only managed to enter the realm through arduous cultivation. I am not a descendant of the Taiqing Sage."
He still needs to make this clear: one cannot arbitrarily claim to be a disciple of a sage.
If the sage were to sense this and send down a bolt of heavenly lightning, wouldn't he be instantly reduced to ashes?
The pleasant female voice seemed somewhat surprised:
"Not from the lineage of Master Taiqing? Oh, I see."
She said one sentence and then fell silent; it's unclear what she understood.
Cao Ya thought for a moment, then activated several layers of complex magic arrays and walked out of the cave.
It's no use against that mysterious female cultivator anyway.
The exit of the cave is a mountain cave that looks only half a meter long and wide. In fact, Cao Ya has set up an array to deceive people.
Of course, it won't work against powerful figures.
Outside the cave, beneath an ancient tree that would take more than a dozen people to encircle, a graceful figure stood.
Upon exiting the cave, Cao Ya saw a female cultivator dressed in a white Taoist robe with a black belt around her waist.
The female cultivator had a graceful figure, elegant demeanor, and beautiful appearance. The afternoon sunlight slanted across her face, making it sparkle and shimmer, highlighting her lovely figure.
Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat, not because of the female cultivator's beauty, but because he couldn't sense any aura about her at all.
It should be noted that he is at the peak of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, and has superimposed the power of his own from other worlds. Even if he is no match for Gathering Emptiness and Merging with the Dao, he can still exchange a few blows. At least he will not be unable to sense the aura at all.
This female cultivator is most likely an immortal.
"This humble Taoist, Cao Ya, greets this immortal." Cao Ya spoke respectfully, without the slightest hint of disrespect.
The female cultivator smiled, her voice calm:
“I am a disciple of the Sage of the Jie Sect, known as Guiling. I was passing by this mountain when I saw you cultivating. You seem to have the aura of my senior master Taiqing. Therefore, I spoke to disturb you. Please do not take offense.”
The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit?! One of the four great disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master... Hmm, with the Investiture of the Gods about to begin, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit is probably more than just a celestial being; she's at least a Golden Immortal...
Cao Ya was startled, then worried. Surely his secret wouldn't be discovered by the person in front of him?
The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit smiled and said:
"Although you have not yet entered the lineage of Master Taiqing, our meeting is a matter of fate, and I have a method to give you."
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Ya was stunned. What? Did I hear that right?
Why are you being so kind to me, when we're not even related? You're even giving me a Dharma teaching… We're complete strangers, it's our first meeting, and I'm not a disciple of the Jie Sect. What reason do you have to favor me? I'm not even from the Taiqing lineage… Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, you've got it wrong…
Cao Ya was inwardly puzzled, but on his face, he showed a look of deep gratitude and said:
"I will never forget your kindness, my fellow Daoist."
Why not take advantage of this opportunity? The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit guarantees you a Golden Immortal cultivation level. The methods she teaches start with a Celestial Immortal, and reaching the Mysterious Immortal or Golden Immortal levels is not impossible.
As for the cause and effect of this, future generations will have to make amends to the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit.
Of course, the Investiture of the Gods was too significant, with immortals and gods falling in droves, so he wouldn't get involved in that mess.
The Holy Mother Guiling died during the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods and was not listed on the Investiture of the Gods list, which had both good and bad aspects.
The downside is that you lose your cultivation level from your previous life and have to start from scratch. The upside is that you can continue to cultivate and even aspire to become a Great Luo or Quasi-Saint.
Once a wisp of true spirit is listed on the Investiture of the Gods, whatever cultivation level it had in its previous life, it will remain at that level for countless years thereafter, without being able to make any progress whatsoever.
The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit is a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual tortoise who attained enlightenment; her morality is profound and her mysteries are boundless.
During the Investiture of the Gods, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit defeated Ju Liusun. When Ju Liusun was being pursued, the Guide of the Daoist stepped forward, subdued him, and revealed his true form. He then ordered his disciples to take him in, intending to bring him under the tutelage of the Western Religion.
Unfortunately, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was destined to die. She escaped the Investiture of the Gods, but was destined to perish in this calamity.
The boy had originally captured a mosquito, but mistakenly released it. He targeted the Holy Mother Tortoise Spirit and pounced on her. Her magic was sealed, and she was as still as a tortoise. How could she possibly resist?
In an instant, all of the Turtle Spirit Mother's magical power, essence, and cultivation over countless millennia were drained, and her primordial spirit dissipated. No matter how unwilling she was, her three souls and six spirits were sent back to the six realms of reincarnation.
However, Cao Ya did not know who the reincarnation of the Holy Mother Guiling was or where she was reborn.
When the cause-and-effect relationship is calculated, it will become clear.
In a flash, Cao Ya figured it out and therefore did not refuse the kindness of the Holy Mother Guiling.
His cultivation method, "The Fragment of the One Yuan Golden Elixir," only reached the stage of Gathering Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao. It was unimpeded before becoming an immortal, but there was no corresponding method after becoming an immortal. At this time, he hoped that the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit would provide a method of cultivation after becoming an immortal.
Whether one cultivates or not, using this as a reference to create one's own immortal techniques is always much better than creating something entirely out of nothing.
Most importantly, he didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Guiling Shengmu's actions. If he refused, he would anger Guiling Shengmu and be killed on the spot. Who would he complain to then?
If even his soul is lost to the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit, then he'll be truly finished.
The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was unaware that Cao Ya had countless thoughts running through her mind, most of which were complaints about her.
She pointed with her left index finger, her slender fingers like jade, her fair wrist like frost, and a ray of light shot out, landing in Cao Ya's palm.
The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit said in a lighthearted tone:
"This is a method I created myself, called the 'Turtle Spirit Immortal Method,' which also includes some of my annotations."
Cao Ya gently pressed the light onto his forehead, and instantly, boundless knowledge appeared, beginning with the words: "Turtle Spirit Immortal Techniques: Celestial Immortal Chapter".
Although it was only the chapter about celestial beings, it was enough to make Cao Ya happy.
Now, Xuanxian no longer has to worry.
He also discovered the annotations of the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit, which explained various profound meanings.
It seems that the Holy Mother Guiling truly had nothing to hide, and by giving her a method, this Heavenly Immortal Chapter became perfect.
Cao Ya quickly expressed her gratitude, saying she was very thankful.
The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit smiled, secretly having her own plans. Cao Ya cultivated the Golden Core Technique, which might belong to the lineage of Grandmaster Taiqing. Forming a good relationship wouldn't be a problem.
Besides, she only gave out the Celestial Immortal chapter, which is irrelevant to the overall situation. She kept the Profound Immortal chapter and the Golden Immortal chapter, the essence of the "Turtle Spirit Immortal Technique," very closely under her control, and even her fellow disciples didn't know about them.
Thirdly, when she passed by this mountain, for some reason, she suddenly had a sudden inspiration. Her divine sense swept over the area and she discovered this rogue cultivator named Cao Ya. She had a feeling in the dark, and for some inexplicable reason, combined with the previous two reasons, she decided to give Cao Ya a method.
And so the present situation came about.
"Alas, the Primordial Continent is about to face the calamity of the conferment of gods. It's always good to make more good connections," sighed the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit.
