Chapter 626 Kunlun's Gift of Treasures: A Heartfelt Thank You Gift (Part 1)
Looking at Zhao Mo, who was still firmly protected by the Xuanhuang Pagoda, even though he was being controlled by the Devouring Beast, the instinct of this natal magic weapon to protect its master still existed.
Their spirit is not so easily deceived.
Therefore.
Even though Wang Yu could see through the Xuanhuang Pagoda that Zhao Mo was frantically ramming against the tower wall, he was powerless to do anything about it, as this situation was not under his control.
Rather, it is the other person's instinct that is resisting this feeling of being unable to control their body and mind. Physical pain can often stimulate a person's mind and make their consciousness clearer.
Unfortunately, Zhao Mo's physical body was too strong.
Even if one instinctively tries to save oneself, one can't feel anything from the impact, which is why one keeps repeating the same movements.
Next, Wang Yu used a few tricks.
After restoring the space in this area to normal, he said to Li Chunyi, "Fellow Daoist Li, may I speak with you in private?"
"Okay, okay!"
Before the two even landed, Mo Lian's companions shouted from a distance, "Wei Wuxian, Sister Mo is just watching the battle. She didn't offend you, did she? The founder of the Mo family is an ascended being, and she has the Qingyun lineage backing her up. Don't make a mistake."
"oh?"
Wang Yu flicked his sleeve and sneered, "Then why don't you go and inform them, and see if the Qingyun lineage can reward you with a few pieces of junk as a thank you?"
"you……"
"Damn it, a demonic cultivator is a demonic cultivator. A leopard can't change its spots. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, he actually dared to lay a hand on Sister Mo. He must have taken a fancy to her beauty."
The female cultivators at the early Nascent Soul stage dared not say this last sentence openly; all they could do was glare at him angrily.
Utterly incompetent.
Upon seeing this, Li Chun also spoke up, "Brother Wei, although we are close friends, we can't do this kind of thing in the Xiaoji Palace. It's understandable to capture Zhao Mo because he was in a bad state, but Mo Lian..."
"You'll see soon enough. Consider this a return gift from me for giving you the Forgetfulness lineage. Fei's corpse is quite nice. If you want to thank me, you can send me another True Spirit corpse."
Li Chunyi: "..."
Since he couldn't be persuaded in public, he might as well give him some face for now. After all, he was no match for Wang Yu, so it was time to hold him accountable, and there were plenty of reasons to do so.
Instead of meddling in other people's business, he should go back and study the secrets of the boundless mortal world. The mystery of this method is something he has never seen before in his life. If he had not met Wang Yu, he might not have been able to learn it.
And so it was.
A moment later, inside the ice palace of the Little Extreme Palace.
After listening to Wang Yu recount the entire story, and then extracting the runes formed from Mo Lian's memories—this was the evidence, along with the Soul Demon Clan's schemes involved.
This made Li Chun stand up straight immediately.
This ruthless patriarch is increasingly losing the mindset he once had.
"Brother Wei means that Zhao Mo had already sensed something was wrong, so he used himself as bait to try to lure out information about the entire group of demon spies. However, he was careless. Fortunately, you were one step ahead and not only captured Zhao Mo but also saved his life."
"They even captured Mo Lian, the culprit who influenced Zhao Mo, and obtained these memories using special soul-searching techniques. She's still alive, and the demon race's secrecy restrictions haven't been triggered?"
Li Chunyi's summary is spot on; this is the truth.
"So, is this a gift for the Forgetfulness lineage?"
"What a wonderful gift, Brother Wei!"
Li Chun's eyes lit up, wishing he could become sworn brothers with Wang Yu on the spot. Since meeting Wang Yu, apart from the initial loss of his Daoist partner, he had been blessed with good fortune all the way.
If he could, he would rather lose three more of his Daoist partners to triple this good fortune.
"Could you quickly report to the upper realm and arrest all those suspected, lest they discover that Mo Lian has been captured alive and forced to cut their losses?"
"Absolutely, absolutely, these memory runes..."
"Don't worry, I've kept the original. This jade slip of divine consciousness is a copy of Mo Lian's memories. You can send it over if you have the means."
"That makes things easier."
Li Chunyi immediately set up an altar and performed a ritual. For cultivators with a lineage of magic, they usually also practice the art of [prayer talisman making]!
Normal talismans record the power of magic.
It can be activated with a little magical power.
Those with connections can write down the venerable name of the lineage's founder.
The talisman in the book, "Please invite *** to descend," is a typical talisman for summoning gods. In layman's terms, it's like making a phone call to summon someone, ensuring there's a signal and no delay within several nearby immortal realms.
This is related to a certain Daoist intuition of high-level cultivators. It is said that once a cultivator reaches the Dao Integration stage, even if they have never practiced divination, they will still have the instinct to predict and understand cause and effect.
Upon seeing unfamiliar rare and precious materials, one can perform a quick calculation.
You can then obtain the name, effects, and growth process. This is also true for cultivators, but often you can only see the past of cultivators at lower levels.
This is also why Wang Yu holds Xuande Zhenxian in such awe. The ability to calculate heavenly secrets that comes with breaking through realms is still a minor skill; the true immortality is achieved through the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.
It is highly possible that he is omniscient about a person's past, present, and future. If the item slot were not a physical item, he would probably be unknown whether he is alive or dead.
Let's get back to the main topic.
As long as a cultivator has reached the Dao Integration stage, they can sense the call from the unseen realm. However, the number of disciples in the Dharma lineage is small, so they can only save those they can, and it is not too much trouble.
Thus, a new art of talismans was created, the art of incantation!
The ability to be possessed by the patriarch, to be imbued with the patriarch's spirit, and to have the patriarch exert supernatural powers across endless spatial distances is one of the common life-saving methods possessed by disciples and saintesses of various lineages.
Unless it is life-threatening or there is an extremely urgent matter.
This special "communication channel" must not be used casually. Anyone who disturbs the patriarch's meditation will be severely punished, ranging from a beating and a stern warning to expulsion from the sect and never to be seen again.
Involving the demon clan's conspiracy, Li Chunyi directly opened the altar and reported to the ancestor of his lineage. As the talisman containing the jade slip containing divine consciousness burned out, the jade slip also turned into a wisp of green smoke and rose straight into the blue sky.
Li Chunyi wiped the sweat from his temples and said with a relaxed expression.
"It's all settled. Now we just need to wait for the Kunlun and Wangqing people to descend to the mortal realm. Brother Wei has made a great contribution this time and will receive many benefits."
"oh?"
Wang Yu appeared thoughtful but did not move. Instead, he waited with Li Chunyi for further reactions, and his private communication jade talisman received a number of messages.
They all wanted to buy a ticket, and the prices they offered varied widely. Most of them were top-tier treasures from the worlds where these Nascent Soul cultivators were born. It was just bad luck for the world to be associated with them.
The loss of the world's origin is not only due to the spiritual energy that cultivators have refined over many years, but also to the treasures they carry. The world itself also experiences a loss in its creation.
If this continues...
This would create a situation where the Great Thousand Worlds, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, would devour the origins of the Middle Thousand and Lesser Thousand Worlds. The nine peak upper realms are basically all super worlds nurtured in this way.
These things had little to do with Wang Yu; he only knew that he was dazzled by the selection of treasures, and there were indeed many good things.
There's still no resolution to Mo Lian's situation.
Most cultivators were worried about his character, and that once the coffin lid was closed, the list of treasures would expand several times over. Therefore, he just glanced at it and didn't reply to a single message.
...
at the same time.
The Realm of True Spirits, the Mountain Gate of the Forgetful Dharma Lineage.
Perhaps because the extreme cold makes it easier to suppress the fluctuations of emotions, the headquarters of Forgetfulness is also located on the top of a snow mountain called "Heartless Heaven".
The naming convention clearly references the Daoist temples of the Nine Immortals of the Human Race.
Hoping for a good omen, I hope that the Forgetful lineage can also give birth to a true immortal cultivator.
The Ruthless Heaven is located in the far north of the True Spirit Realm.
Upon receiving Li Chunyi's message, almost immediately, a cultivator at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm emerged from seclusion, rushing to the Ancestor to report the situation, disregarding the rules of the lineage.
Then.
In less than three breaths.
Having survived the three calamities and five declines, the being known as the "Supreme Forgetful Immortal," a peerless powerhouse ranked among the top ten in the human race's tribulation stage, emerged from seclusion with unwavering resolve.
They stormed into the southern part of the True Spirit Realm with lightning speed.
With unparalleled divine power, he instantly captured everyone in the Qingyun lineage and, while reporting to True Immortal Xuande, began to purge the demon spies from top to bottom.
Everyone associated with the Qingyun lineage was implicated; some were imprisoned, others were put on trial, and the process was incredibly fast.
This is the prevailing trend in the true spirit world!
Humanity comes first in all things. If anything involves harm to the demon race, it can be directly reported to the True Immortal for the highest level of handling.
Providing irrefutable evidence will ensure a smooth process.
No matter how strong your connections are, getting involved will lead to your demise!
certainly.
If a demon spy is discovered in the demon cultivation world, they might not attack you, but instead see it as a test to hone the younger generation, deliberately sending the demon cultivator to suffer a crushing defeat.
The Nine Realms represent the nine paths to immortality for the human race.
Although the customs and rules are under the jurisdiction of the Cangmang Immortal Palace, they also have a great deal of autonomy, if the human race is regarded as a dynasty.
The True Spirit Realm is the Son of Heaven, while the other eight realms are the eight kings who have been enfeoffed. How to govern them is not something that Xuande True Immortal will interfere with, but when the eight realms need to contribute, they must always be at the forefront of the fight for humanity.
This is the situation in the vast Immortal Realm.
As time goes by.
A month later, instead of the people from the Forgetful Lineage, the people from the Kunlun Lineage arrived first. This was quite reasonable; they were there to make amends for their mistakes and, incidentally, to save Zhao Mo.
He received orders from the Xuanhuang Battle Immortal Department.
Only one team of eight people came. The leader was at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm, and the rest were all at the Void Refinement Realm. The seven of them went directly to the Mo Clan's territory.
That Dao-Merging expert then came to the Lesser Extreme Palace.
Because they did not conceal their aura, Wang Yu and the others sensed it immediately and came out to greet them.
The moment they met, Wang Yu noticed that the seemingly otherworldly "old immortal" looked rather grim. He was standing in front of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, watching Zhao Mo repeatedly ramming against the pagoda wall.
The louder the booming sound, the more humiliated he felt.
The Forgetfulness lineage only has one Transcending Tribulation Immortal, whose strength is top-tier even among Transcending Tribulation cultivators. However, Kunlun has twelve Transcending Tribulation Immortals, yet they were outshone by their disciple.
He was severely reprimanded in the True Spirit Realm, and now he's come down.
What kind of pleasant expression could there be?
They also became somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Mo. Kunlun disciples were all geniuses among geniuses for generations. Although their numbers were small, their cultivation level was at least at the Dao Integration stage.
Zhao Mo is the newest disciple, who has not yet grown up. His senior brother, who is only one level above him, was a prodigy who was recruited a thousand years ago. This shows that Kunlun's elite training system is very effective.
Wang Yu and Li Chun exchanged a glance and performed the traditional greeting of juniors.
Synchronous track.
"Junior Wei Wuxian."
"Junior Li Chunyi."
"Greetings, senior." ×2
"I am called Qingxi Jushi. You don't need to be so polite. This matter is all thanks to you."
Qingxi Jushi waved his hand, his attitude quite amiable.
However, he didn't quite conceal his anger, but it was definitely not directed at them. After all, he was a powerful figure from the Kunlun lineage. He was angry, but he also knew the principle that grievances should be settled by the perpetrators and debts by the debtors.
They wouldn't hold a grudge against the two younger generation who had made contributions.
Qingxi Jushi knew Li Chunyi's background very well, so he gave Wang Yu a few extra glances and soon let out a soft exclamation.
"You've cultivated a secret technique to conceal the secrets of heaven?"
"That's right, Senior Qingxi has excellent insight."
"interesting."
He said it was interesting, but didn't seem inclined to probe further, and suddenly changed the subject.
"Zhao Mo, that wretched disciple, is so disappointing. He has clearly mastered the 'Purifying Heart Divine Mantra,' yet he couldn't even withstand the Soul Demon Clan's innate divine ability, 'Temptation of Demons.' It seems he hasn't been tempered enough."
Wang Yu lowered his eyelids. He knew that Qingxi Jushi had seen through the problem, but the other party did not seem to have any intention of pointing it out.
Li Chunyi could only laugh awkwardly, showing no intention of responding. Qingxi Jushi felt bored, calculating that the Mo family and several other friendly Nascent Soul families should have already taken their share.
With a flick of his sleeve, he took away Zhao Mo along with the Xuanhuang Pagoda, and then spoke to the two of them.
"This good-for-nothing disciple was arrogant and almost harmed himself and others. If it weren't for your quick thinking, he would have caused even greater trouble."
"This item is a branch of the Kunlun Divine Tree, known as the pillar supporting the sky, called the Jianmu. Although it is not as powerful as the original, it is still a top-level treasure for cultivators who have cultivated to open up a blessed land."
"It is most suitable for you to use soon. One day, the branch may even surpass the original. It will be given to you two as a thank-you gift from the Kunlun lineage."
They're incredibly wealthy!
Kunlun has twelve scattered immortals, and such a treasure is given away so easily. Wang Yu's breathing became much heavier, and Li Chunyi was not much better off.
Wang Yu was the main force in this matter.
He only provided assistance and relayed the message, so he shouldn't have received a reward of the same quality as Wang Yu. The bulk of his reward should have come from the rewards within the Forgetful Lineage.
Qingxi Jushi did this to give Wang Yu a heads-up.
His little scheme was seen through.
Kunlun didn't care and rewarded the Jianmu tree with a branch, treating the two as equals, thus regarding them as a gang. Wang Yu was grateful but also felt deeply ashamed.
Li Chun was immediately dazzled by the treasures and hadn't yet grasped their true value.
In theory, cultivators from the Nine Realms are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm unless they have received an imperial edict from one of the Eight Ministries or are performing duties within their purview. This is also clearly stated in the rules of the Immortal Regime.
Therefore, after exchanging only a few casual words, Qingxi Jushi took the initiative to leave.
A moment later.
Li Chunyi suddenly realized that it was too late to say anything, and immediately showed a bitter smile.
but.
Upon noticing Wang Yu, he quickly expressed his opinion.
"I feel unworthy to accept the division of the Jianmu tree, but it will certainly be of great benefit to the future creation of the Refining Void Paradise. I will be richly rewarded afterward, so as not to betray our friendship."
Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Brother Li, what are you saying? Do you think I, Wei Wuxian, am that kind of person?"
After being refused three times, Wang Yu finally nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I urge Xiaoji Palace to announce the matter of Mo Lian to the world and clear my name. Only in this way will I not be universally condemned at the next treasure exchange."
"Of course, of course! Brother Wei has performed such an extraordinary feat, how could Chunyi allow a hero to be wronged?!"
Seeing that the other party was becoming more and more exaggerated, Wang Yu quickly took his leave and fled. He could roughly guess that the Forgetfulness lineage would receive the greatest benefit.
But it can't be resolved in just one or two days.
Instead of wasting time waiting for rewards, he should go back and cultivate with Qingqing a few more times to increase his cultivation. According to Li Chunyi's wishes, the other party would transfer a portion of the reward to him to offset the value of the Jianmu tree.
"Excellent, excellent!"
