Chapter 39 - The Sacred Land of Tianxuan! You're Even Better at Pretending Than Me! Xuanqing!
Chapter 39 The Sacred Land of Tianxuan! You’re Even Better at Pretending Than Me! Xuanqing!
Once a cultivator steps into the Xuanfu Realm, they open up an inner world. From there, they cultivate a sea of purple energy known as the Purple Qi Dao Sea.
This thing isn’t just a catch-all storage space—it’s much more important than that. Most crucially, you can nurture your life-bound treasure—your natal artifact—within it. Every cultivator has this precious item, and Chu Tian was no exception. His was a nine-tiered pagoda.
However, because he had ridiculously high standards, this pagoda was still just a prototype and didn’t even have a name yet. He had been waiting for some powerful crafting materials so his natal artifact would be extraordinary from the moment it took shape.
Now, with the appearance of Eternal Immortal Gold, his urgent problem was finally solved. Moreover, Xuanqing’s Ancient Mystic Immortal Body seemed capable of producing Ancient Mystic Primordial Qi.
That’s the kind of energy from the dawn of creation—on the same level as “Purple Qi from the East.”
If he could incorporate it into his artifact, it would absolutely take it to the next level. In the future, once he became an Emperor Lord, this natal artifact alone might be enough to rival those of other Emperor-level beings. Of course, that was all for the future.
“Innate Dao Embryo!”
Chu Tian remembered that this was a special physique that naturally harbored the Dao. Whatever you think or do aligns closely with the Great Dao, making it much easier to comprehend and rapidly increase cultivation!
“I recall that if a Reincarnation Sacred Body combines with an Innate Dao Embryo, it can give birth to the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo—the ultimate Dao-nurturing physique!”
“They say the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo is the number one physique. Born at the Saint Sovereign level and practically destined to become an Emperor Lord!”
Chu Tian began scheming—he needed to find Shi Hao a wife in the future—preferably one with the Innate Dao Embryo. That way, they could give birth to an Emperor-level genius and grow the strength of Saint Demon Mountain!
“System, what is Immortal River Water?”
“Is it really from the Immortal River in the Immortal Realm?”
Indeed—it was. The Immortal River had been just a small stream in the mortal world millions of years ago.
After evolving for countless ages, it gained spiritual properties and became the Immortal River.
“If you want to know its effects, just soak in it,” said the system.
“Soak in it?”
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow before catching on.
“A bath?”
“Ah, I see. Once I’m back at the Palace of Freedom, I’ll give it a try.”
Hopefully, the Immortal River Water wouldn’t disappoint. Soon, the Innate Dao Embryo fused completely with his physique, and in his Purple Mansion, a tiny figure appeared, sitting cross-legged.
Looking closely, this figure was a miniature version of Chu Tian. This was the Dao Embryo—born with the Dao, constantly in a state of cultivation and enlightenment, and capable of feeding back those insights to Chu Tian!
“System, from now on, just transfer immortal gold and other treasures directly into my inner world. No need to announce it.”
“How many times have I told you—you really don’t understand the meaning of low profile!”
“You’re better at pretending than I am!”
“Getting addicted, huh?”
Yeah… a little addicted.
“……”
If the system had a physical form, Chu Tian would definitely give it a big slap. This guy clearly didn’t understand the principle of keeping a low profile to survive.
Chu Tian looked down on the system with disdain—he had long since seen through its petty schemes. Every time it had something good, it just had to cause a huge commotion.
Even the ninety-nine layers of protective formations around the Free Spirit Palace couldn’t block out its showiness. It was just too flashy.
When Lin Chen and the others saw that Chu Tian had finished talking with Xuan Qing, they all came over. They had been watching from a distance earlier—Chu Tian’s generous actions didn’t just impress Xuan Qing, they had conquered them as well.
Lin Chen looked at Xuan Qing with envy. This guy actually got to become the senior’s disciple—did that mean his talent was even better than his own?
He felt a bit dejected. If he went to ask, would the senior really accept him?
Su Xiaorou held his hand tightly and smiled gently.
“The most important thing for a person is confidence. Whether or not you can become the senior’s disciple…”
“I believe that on Saint Demon Mountain, you will definitely shine in your own way!”
“Thank you.”
Lin Chen regained his confidence. That’s right—he needed to believe in himself!
Even if Chu Tian was unwilling to take him as a disciple, he couldn’t lose heart. After all, he was about to become an official core disciple of Saint Demon Mountain. The gap wouldn’t be that big!
Chu Tian glanced at the group and smiled. “We’ve been out for a few months. It’s time to return to the sect!”
Everyone smiled when they heard that. They were finally going back!
Tianxuan Sacred Land.
In the quiet of night, under the high-hanging bright moon. Two elderly men wearing gold and silver robes stood atop a building, hands behind their backs, gazing at the moon.
The gold-robed elder said, “The Grand Ruins are about to change. The destruction of the Xuan You Sect was only the beginning.”
The silver-robed elder nodded.
“Indeed. It seems the ancient races are waking up—some disciples spotted signs of them a few days ago.”
“It’s also time for those hidden families and sect forces to reveal themselves. The current Nine Great Super Sects are no longer worthy of the name.”
“Their strength doesn’t match the title of ‘Nine Great Super Sects’ anymore—after all, a grand era is slowly approaching.”
“Yes, it’s been 30,000 years since the Ascension of the Ancient Profound Emperor…”
“For 30,000 years, the entire starry sky has been silent. Without the power of a Holy Venerable, crossing the stars is far too dangerous.”
The gold-robed elder sighed—time passed too quickly.
“This has also caused the connection between the Yanhuang Realm and other major planets to weaken over the past 10,000 years.”
“Contact the Starry Sky Ancient Sect. Launch the Immortal Ranking Project—to deter those ancient powerhouses about to awaken!”
“I believe the other four regions will also act against the awakening of ancient races.”
“Tomorrow, I’ll go in person—and ask them whether they still have any shame! Hmph!”
As a supreme sacred land, there was no trail they couldn’t uncover. The fall of the Xuan You Sect had traces of the Starry Sky Ancient Sect behind it. They discovered that before the sect’s downfall, Xuan You Sect had close dealings with that sect.
Some powerful members of the Xuan You Sect had led experts from the Starry Sky Ancient Sect into their grounds. That very day, the Xuan You Sect was wiped out. To say they had nothing to do with it—no one would believe it!
“Oh, right.”
The gold-robed elder suddenly said, “That saint-grade talent who left the sect went to the Qian Kun Grotto-Heaven to attend a recruitment ceremony—but was rejected.”
The silver-robed elder snorted coldly.
“Leaving the sacred land on your own—we won’t stop you. But you will pay the price.”
“In the Grand Ruins, and even all of Beidou, which force would dare disrespect Tianxuan?”
The gold-robed elder shook his head and chuckled.
“His life is ruined now. Joining a small sect will only bury him completely…”
“Even with a saint-grade talent, he can forget about reaching a high cultivation realm.”
Though they felt a bit of regret about Xuan Qing’s departure from the sect, what they felt more was anger. Tianxuan Sacred Land had put great effort into training him, yet he left just because he didn’t become the Holy Son—utterly lawless!
Xuan Qing didn’t become the Holy Son because he simply wasn’t good enough. After all, the current Holy Son had terrifying talent—far beyond what Xuan Qing could match!
