Chapter 1134 - 570: Slow to Strike (Part 3)
As for the East Sea, it is naturally guarded by the East, with Ziwei Zi overseeing it. The lineage of the Penglai Supreme True Sect received his true teachings, and now not only blocks the foreign monsters from invading the Central Plains, but has also pushed back from Penglai to the East Sea’s Three Mountains.
However, Ziwei Zi had already reincarnated a long time ago. Across these vast distances, Lingxu seemed not to have interacted with this Junior Brother from his past life, only vaguely calculating that he might still be active around the East Sea area. As for the Xuanzhen Sect, it should be a secondary branch of the Supreme True Sect, according to the Three Mountains Bloodline Generation naming order. Currently, the disciple is in the same generation as Scholar Hong Liang, so it seems there is nothing amiss in terms of lineage.
Thus, Chen Xuantian extended a courteous greeting,
"So it’s Senior Brother Bu Shiren, I’ve long admired your great name, it resonates like thunder in my ears, pardon my lack of respect."
Bu Zishan quickly replied,
"Just call me Shiren, Senior Brother."
"Alright, Bu Shiren."
"..."
"Fellow Daoist, what exactly do you intend?"
The Yu Shan Bone Sword was already revealed, wanting to get right to the point with no time for dilly-dallying.
Bu Shiren wasn’t the type to hide things either. With a flick of his hand, he summoned a gourd, from which Treasure Light burst forth, slowly revealing a Bright Pearl.
"This Pearl of the Abyss, I found it in the Jiao People’s Royal Court. This pearl is neither a clam’s birth nor a dragon’s exhale, but a refined essence born from the Earth Vein of Yingzhou and the tides of the East Sea.
Every 600 years, at the peak of the tidal force, a drop of Jade Ointment seeps from the tide hole on the eastern cliff of Yingzhou, its color like moonlight. Over 1,300 years, this ointment accumulates into a womb, which breaks to reveal the pearl. The world shakes, and for three days, there are no tides in the East Sea.
This treasure has three mystical uses: First, as a Mystic Nether Treasure, it can be used to forge a Spirit Platform Boat, achieving Divinity Transformation. Second, it transforms into the Primordial Liquid of the Vast Ocean, which when forged into an Elixir, equates to a millennium of hard cultivation. Third, it can nourish the Dao Foundation, reshape the root bone, transform the pearl womb into blood, and rebuild the Golden Body.
Shiren, having come to the Central Plains for training, unexpectedly encountered this grand sword fighting event. He wishes to use this item to exchange for a chance to participate, to compete with the Mystical Sect True Inheritance, and witness the Nine Peaks Peak."
Before Yu Shangu could speak, Chen Xuantian almost jumped up,
"Me, me! I’ll exchange with you!"
Everyone turned their heads, and his two brothers coughed,
"Ahem, ahem, brother, don’t embarrass us...""But the thing is quite good, cough, cough..."
Indeed, logically speaking, a 1,300-year-old Bright Pearl, a great treasure for Divinity Transformation, who wouldn’t be tempted?
This time Chen Xuantian was so defenseless, wasn’t it just because he had his millennia-old treasure seized! Who knew that another one would deliver itself! How could he not be moved!
Yu Shangu was also momentarily stunned, for he had been stuck at the Golden Core stage for many years, originally seeking a cure and the way of Soldier Disintegration. The other party clearly knew his situation and specifically brought out such a treasure to exchange for this opportunity, which inevitably tempted him as he turned to look at the two Fairy Bixias.
The little Junior Sister and Senior Sister also understood the importance, so the Senior Sister proactively said,
"You Ying is injured, this battle concerns the Mystic Sect’s fate, so I will step back for now."
Yu Shangu gratefully nodded,
"Alright, you go first this time."
"Thank you!"
Bu Shiren was straightforward, directly tossing the gourd to Yu Shangu.
Yu Shangu forced himself to calm his excited heart, accepted the gourd, and continued calculating, elated beyond words.
Chen Xuantian watched from the side, also smiling broadly, full of murderous intent, eager.
Great! Enough is enough! Initiate the catastrophe!
"Wait, hold your hand!"
Damn, are we still fighting or not...
Everyone turned their heads again, and saw an Immortal Boat Treasure Ship, protected by the five-colored Treasure Light, under the guard of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, slowly descending from the Cloud Platform Peak, entering through the opened net. A veiled Female Official walked out from the ship’s bow, loudly proclaiming,
"The Five Liang Chief Clerk is bestowed by my Immortal Palace as a 600-stone official, a court official with a copper seal and black ribbon, serving as a General Assistant Envoy, first among the clerks.
Now that everyone belongs to the Immortal Alliance, sharing the same roots and branches, my lord can also lend a helping hand, is that not so."
The Mystic Sect crowd was silent for a moment, they couldn’t say she was wrong, after all, the Immortal Alliance is an alliance with the Immortal Palace, but can a mere Immortal Palace do anything?
Chen Xuantian was also speechless for a moment, after all, it sounded like they were here to help him, offering a favor, but can a mere Immortal Palace do anything?
Then the Female Official held up a Jade Box, tossing it from the ship’s bow,
"My lord says, this treasure sword was used by an old friend, please Chief Clerk wield this sword, pass this tribulation, and meet again afterwards."
Chen Xuantian wrapped it with Vigorous Qi, catching the Sword Box, not in a hurry to open it, curiously asking,
"I wonder what your lord’s surname is, what is he called?"
"My lord is named Yu Zao."
The Female Official replied, seemingly understanding the outcome, without looking back, returned to the cabin.
Yu Zao? Emperor Yu Zao, the one with twelve dragon rolls for ritual offerings to Yu Zao?
