Chapter 107: The Old Ancestor Has Given an Order! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The Dongli Family can be considered one of the cultivation families with quite a deep foundation within the Chiyuan Immortal Sect.

It is just that this cultivation family is famous for business most of the time, rarely participating in spell duels, treasure hunting, or internal power struggles, thus appearing much more low-key on the surface.

In fact, the Old Ancestor of the Dongli Family is a genuine Golden Core Elder!

Coupled with a rare Spirit Body and a successfully cultivated matching Great Divine Ability.

Even in the eyes of the high-level members of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect, this Dongli Old Ancestor holds a significant status.

At this very moment.

This Old Ancestor of the Dongli Family, Dongli Qiudao, as one of the Immortal Sect Elders, is sitting in meditation in an Elder-level Cave Abode at the Immortal Sect Main Peak, studying a new Secret Technique.

This Old Ancestor had originally thought that under his arrangements, before the true arrival of this Immortal Sect catastrophe, his descendants would each have a way out and their own opportunities for development.

And before he fell, his old face should still be able to help his clansmen avoid most disasters.

After all, the ancestral teachings of their Dongli Family, ever since he became the head of the family, have been to be kind to others and not harbor grudges.

Yet he never expected that after such a short time, a direct descendant would actually call him through the Spirit Mirror.

"Hmm?"

"How is this possible!"

"The Spirit Mirror I refined, even if observing the Immortal's True Disciple, or the current Nine Great Elders, could not possibly shatter!"

"Could it be that the white-haired youth is gifted and possesses some kind of rare Spirit Body?"

Dongli Qiudao's heart stirred, and he actually became interested.

A pair of eyes turned black and white in an instant.

This is also the Great Divine Ability that Dongli Qiudao relies on to have become a Golden Core: the Insight of All Things Eye.

Borrowing the blessing of Dongli Qiudao's rare Spirit Body regarding the insight of heavenly secrets, it gives him a special advantage in the art of divination.

And regarding the potential backlash of divination.

This Dongli Family Old Ancestor has also made full preparations.

Even if it is just divining the shattered Spirit Mirror that has a deep connection to his own opportunities.

And the clansman involved is only a junior in the Qi Refining stage.

He does not hold a heart of contempt just because the matter is small.

Dongli Qiudao made preparations, setting up nine layers of protective measures for his Divine Soul around the Cave Abode.

Plus, Dongli Qiudao is currently within the mountain-protecting formation of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect Main Peak.

He can also borrow a portion of protection provided by this formation.

Dongli Qiudao believes that with this setup, even if he were divining the first-generation Chiyuan Xianren, he would not suffer a backlash even if he failed!

Everything is ready!

Dongli Qiudao took out a Copper Mirror Spirit Treasure that looked identical but was actually the Mother Mirror.

He and this Spirit Treasure have been in mental communion for hundreds of years; with a single thought, he immediately connected to the shattered Copper Mirror in the Overseas Islands.

"Eh, it really did shatter because of a backlash!"

"Interesting, let this old man see exactly what remained that caused this."

"Watch my method of tracing the origin!"

In this instant, Dongli Qiudao suddenly had a palpitation from a sudden whim.

This caused Dongli Qiudao to stop abruptly at the last moment.

At his level, a sudden whim is only a warning from heavenly secrets.

However, a warning from heavenly secrets is not necessarily bad; it could also be a great opportunity to change the future!

Dongli Qiudao's eyes flickered with black and white colors, and after his emotions surged for a few seconds.

Dongli Qiudao still decided to continue the divination!

If the Chiyuan Immortal Sect were still in its golden age, he naturally would not take the risk.

Even if the target seemed to have a high probability of the benefits outweighing the risks.

But now, the things happening in the Sect Master's Hall, which even they, the Golden Core Elders, cannot enter...

Cast a cloud over Dongli Qiudao's heart, causing him to feel a sense of urgency to seek change.

And now, this trace of palpitation is seen by Dongli Qiudao as a kind of Hope for change!

A kind of new possibility!

Swish!

The Spirit Mirror emitted white light.

Dongli Qiudao's eyes shot out black and white Qi, which entangled with this white light in an instant!

Hum!

A scene appeared and enveloped this Dongli Family Old Ancestor!

He only felt the surroundings turn into a Void as black as ink.

Dongli Qiudao discovered that before his eyes, everything around him seemed to be in pure darkness.

Except for feeling a certain immense pressure landing on his body, making him want to bend his knees and bow, and kowtow sincerely, he could see nothing else...

No!

It is not that he cannot see!

It is that... the other party is too magnificent!

He... only saw a shadow of a tiny part of the other party's magnificent figure!

A flash of inspiration.

Dongli Qiudao immediately felt the scene before him begin to retreat rapidly, after he moved further and further away from his previous position.

It is unknown how much time had passed, but he finally caught sight of a certain great outline ahead that could not be described in words.

At this instant, Dongli Qiudao suddenly halted his retreating form; upon seeing that outline, he could not even make out its specific appearance.

Just this first glance.

Made Dongli Qiudao know that he had seen the eternity within eternity.

The greatness above greatness.

The Supreme of the past, present, and future!

The Supreme Lord who remembered everything, was able to reproduce everything, and held the authority of time.

And it was just this one glance.

Dongli Qiudao's divination vision shattered with a boom.

His black and white eyes exploded simultaneously, yet not a drop of blood appeared; there were merely two terrifying holes on his face.

And the Spirit Treasure Copper Mirror in his hand also cracked with a 'crack' sound, revealing a terrifying fissure that nearly split it in two.

The nine-fold arrangements around the Cave Abode.

All burned up and turned into ashes.

Even on this Immortal Sect Main Peak of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect, many Cultivators on duty clearly sensed that for that instant, the entire mountain peak's grand formation seemed to have suddenly shaken?

Fortunately, after an emergency inspection, the grand formation was safe and sound; they could only attribute it to perhaps a crack of Evil Qi having opened nearby and being quickly sealed due to the existence of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect's grand formation.

"Ha, ha... hahaha."

In the Cave Abode of the Dongli Family Old Ancestor, the blinded Dongli Qiudao let out the satisfied laughter of a truth-seeker after having seen the truth.

"I saw it!"

"I saw the true Supreme, the truly great existence!"

"What Evil God, what Immortal, they are completely unworthy of being compared to it."

"This is the existence truly different from our level; this is the existence worthy of one giving everything to worship from the heart..."

"The Supreme who holds the authority of time and the memory of all things."

"The great existence that can reproduce everything that has memory!"

"I, who cannot know your honorable title and can only describe the great projection from the side..."

"Am willing to become your most loyal hound and servant from now on..."

Dongli Qiudao was divining the Mark left behind on the Spirit Mirror because it had come into contact with the Memory Scepter.

After seeing the phantom of that Supreme who held the authority of time and the memory of all things within the true origin of the Memory Scepter.

Even if it was just an outline, just a phantom.

The power level of that higher dimension it contained, aided by the special feedback of the divination, still caused Dongli Qiudao's state of mind—which had forged a Great Divine Ability, attained the Golden Core fortune, and was as firm as a rock...

To shatter just like that!

And after being recast following the shattering, it produced a kind of fanatical faith and worship toward the higher-dimensional existence due to great terror.

Thus.

The Dongli Family branch clansmen who were waiting bitterly for an answer in the Overseas Islands, Xuangui Island sea area.

After being tormented by unease for a long time, the armored middle-aged man finally discovered that ripples had appeared on the Spirit Mirror in his hand again:

【The Old Ancestor has an order!】

【My Dongli clan, regardless of status, must not offend the Honored Envoy!】

【If the Honored Envoy has any needs, we must cooperate with all our might to please them!】

【Those who disobey will have their parents and children implicated! The kin will be expelled from the clan and forbidden from returning for three generations!】

"Honored Envoy?"

The armored middle-aged man widened his eyes, and the young sword cultivator secretly looking at the mirror beside him was also completely bewildered.

They were just about to confirm if they were seeing a hallucination.

The mirror surface suddenly rippled again.

It was a message sent by the current head of the Dongli Family:

【That was indeed the Old Ancestor's order just now; you must not make any mistakes!】

【Furthermore, you must quickly draw the portrait of the memory of the white-haired youth you saw before, so I can distribute it to every branch!】

【Remember, from today on, we of the Dongli clan are the most loyal hounds and servants of that Honored Envoy!】

"Hiss!"

"How is this possible... what exactly is the origin of that youth from just now!"

"Why did the Old Ancestor go to investigate and end up finding a master for us?"

"The Old Ancestor is a Golden Core Old Ancestor of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect, how could this happen!"

"Could it be that the white-haired youth is actually a Great Divine Ability Cultivator capable of making even the Old Ancestor and the Chiyuan Immortal Sect behind him submit!"

The armored middle-aged man gasped.

The young sword cultivator was even more terrified, cold sweat pouring down, his legs going weak.

Fortunately, fortunately his father was cautious enough not to directly offend the other party.

Otherwise... not only would their branch be wiped out.

I fear the entire Dongli Family would fall from grace for offending such a Great Divine Ability Cultivator!

What kind of sin did their branch commit to encounter something that even Immortal Sect novels wouldn't dare write, something that only exists in theoretical legends!

Su Ping rode the Da Hei Yu back to the small town by the coast.

He threw the Da Hei Yu back into the Pot Heaven.

Su Ping did not know that because of the Memory Scepter, he had inexplicably gained a group of loyal hounds behind him.

After returning to land, Su Ping put on a mask to restore his original appearance, used his Divine Sense to restrain the aura of a Great Cultivator, and went to a small town tavern to taste the seafood.

Then he listened to the new stories from the mouths of the storytellers.

As branches of Cultivation World families continuously migrated to the seaside.

These storytellers' new stories contained a lot more content about slaying sea monsters.

Especially the appearance of those large Tall Ships.

It is rumored that more and more sea beasts of ten to twenty meters have also become prey for the people.

Even the ports have begun to organize fleets in an attempt to go deep-sea fishing.

Not only because deep-sea fishing can catch more fish and more valuable sea beasts.

Su Ping also heard from the streets and alleys that someone was deliberately spreading rumors.

It is said that fishermen who escaped after encountering disaster claimed that far beyond the Overseas Islands, there exist Immortal Islands.

Those islands have five-colored rays of light in the morning and evening, and Spirit Beasts soar into the sky to play.

These islands are naturally called Immortal Islands in the mouths of mortals.

But in the eyes of a Cultivator, an Immortal Island is clearly an island that possesses a Spirit Vein!

An island with a Spirit Vein is the place where branches of Cultivation World families should stay.

Even if the grade is a bit lower, it is not something the barren Overseas Islands can compare to!

Su Ping estimated that even if the Cultivator families felt the rumors were not very credible.

They ultimately could not be one hundred percent sure it was impossible.

Then these families would more or less send ships to join the deep-sea fleet, and then this deep-sea voyage would become some kind of major trend.

It's just that he doesn't know if someone is really plotting something behind the scenes.

Or if they are simply unwilling to die of old age in the Overseas Islands and want to take a gamble while they still have the capital!

After eating the local snacks and satisfying his cravings, Su Ping left the port town and visited Golden Sword City along the way.

Su Ping saw that this once prosperous large city was already devastated due to a fierce battle between Cultivators, and even now it had only recovered a small part of its vitality.

However, the landmark building of this place, that giant sword, seemed not to have been affected much and was still silently stuck in its original place.

While sighing, Su Ping kindly found the remaining local wealthy families and borrowed the Sealed Dharma Artifacts that could still be found from their hands.

After all, there is no telling when these Sealed Dharma Artifacts will finish purifying here.

They currently have no manpower to build a Temple, hold a Dharma Assembly, and have people pray day and night.

A Great Cultivator did indeed come, and after purifying the wandering souls and confirming there were no Evil Spirits, he left quickly.

Mortals must ultimately rely on themselves to recuperate.

Since that is the case, it is better to let Su Ping use them first.

Anyway, it is all for the sake of purifying Evil Spirits and protecting the great cause of the Cultivation World.

Giving them to Su Ping can even speed up the purification progress of the Sealed Dharma Artifacts!

Su Ping also stopped by Yunshan Market on the way, exchanged for Superior Pills, and bought pills as well as some materials.

Setting sail this time, having noticed some anomalies and that the Dongli Family clearly had designs on Xuangui Island, Su Ping prepared to stay in Jinque City and Water Blue Star to go Fishing for the next few weeks, and wait until his merit was enough, he had practiced his divine ability, and started Foundation Establishment before going to Xuangui Island to fish.

He figured that no matter how aggressive the Dongli Family is, they should be able to give the face of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After all, his Foundation Establishment is not to ask for Spirit Stones, but just to go fishing and perceive the world.

At worst, he will also sign up for a Dongli Family treasure membership.

…………

Pot Heaven.

Su Ping and the exorcist youth Yun Kong ended a real-combat session where every strike landed on the flesh.

This time, relying on his greatly increased Divine Sense and the improvement of his overall physical quality, Su Ping gained the upper hand for the first time.

Emboldened, Su Ping began to think about having White Crane Boy and Yun Kong come up together to spar with him next time!

After resting for a while, he drew some False Dragon Blood and gave it to the Da Hei Yu Chiwen, watching it begin to work hard to digest the False Dragon Blood.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and his gaze turned to Shanawati, who was working hard at learning to draw Spirit Talismans at the foot of the Human-Faced Locust Tree in the Burial Ground.

This young but clever girl was completing a Gathering Qi Talisman in one go.

This is one of the simplest First Tier Spirit Talismans.

But no matter how simple, it still belongs to the First Tier Spirit Talismans!

Shanawati can draw such a Spirit Talisman; in the Cultivation World, she is already a formal Talisman Master and can open a shop to earn Spirit Stones!

"As expected of a Blood Talisman Spirit Body, a genius of the talisman path!"

"It's only been a few days, and it feels like she's caught up to my progress in the talisman path!"

"Hmm? Has she already discovered the little trick of how to utilize her Special Constitution?"

Su Ping discovered that when Shanawati was drawing a new talisman, she used a needle to prick her index finger and then let a drop of blood seep onto the talisman paper.

And then, it was done in one go!

A Small Protection Talisman that even Su Ping hadn't learned yet was also successfully drawn by this Shanawati!
