Chapter 207: Return to Beidou, the Daoist Heavenly Venerate Responds

~15 min read 2,847 words

"What a huge harvest!"

Standing outside Kunlun, looking back at that towering, magnificent Kunlun Mountains, Zhang Xuan still had a dreamlike, surreal feeling.

Only the heavy Immortal Cauldron and the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda within his Sendai told him that all of this was true and real.

The Immortal Cauldron is very special; every trace of the Great Dao on it contains unique, great secrets, including not only flowers, birds, fish, and insects, but also the sun, moon, stars, and the gods of ancient times.

Zhang Xuan himself could gain many insights just by sensing it, and if he used the senses of the Nine-Orifice Stone Man from the Shenmu World, he could feel even more of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It seems that many of the Great Daos within the entire Zhetian World are encompassed within it.

This does not look like an Immortal Cauldron, but more like an Origin Cauldron of All Things; the origin of all things in heaven and earth seems to be upon it, as if it has inscribed the Great Dao of the entire world.

Zhang Xuan was somewhat mesmerized watching it; it is an Immortal Artifact crafted personally by the Emperor.

It contains much of the Emperor's Great Dao, and there are many Great Daos of heaven and earth within it that are very useful to Zhang Xuan.

Especially this Origin Cauldron of All Things, which accommodates all the rules of heaven and earth and then casts them into one body, which is very inspiring for Zhang Xuan's Eight-Nine Profound Art.

Zhang Xuan held it in his hands, silently experiencing and silently polishing it.

However, his cultivation realm is not yet profound enough, so even with the perspective of the Nine-Orifice Stone Man, he cannot comprehend too much.

After searching carefully, Zhang Xuan did not continue to comprehend it, but instead took out the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda and held it in his hand, playing with it carefully.

Zhang Xuan knew the origin of the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda very well; it was left behind by that Gu Xin'ao who was able to contend with Qingdi back then.

Gu Xin'ao's talent and aptitude could truly be called supreme.

It is a pity that he met Qingdi in the same era.

Although Qingdi is very lackluster now, basically not bubbling up inside the Bronze Pagoda, having fallen into a muddled state and encountering the ominousness of his later years.

But in his youth, Qingdi was truly peerless at his peak, as an Undying Divine Medicine that had gained sentience, and furthermore, he had gained sentience while rooted in the Green Copper Tripod within the Immortal Pond.

Transforming from an Undying Divine Medicine into a human form, his talent, aptitude, and potential truly beat the vast majority of people.

Among the Ancient Great Emperors, he is considered one of the most formidable; if not for walking the wrong path, Qingdi could basically be confirmed to become the third or fourth immortal Red Dust Immortal.

Gu Xin'ao could only despair when meeting Qingdi in the same era.

After being defeated in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he could only watch as Qingdi left everyone behind and became a supreme existence.

But from this aspect, one can also see the strength of Gu Xin'ao; being able to contend all the way with a Qingdi whose talent and potential were so powerful, one can imagine how outrageous Gu Xin'ao's talent was.

It is a pity that he did not make it to the end after all.

Zhang Xuan sighed slightly, then carefully polished the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda and left his own mark on it.

At his level, if he really wanted to refine a weapon, he could almost make it interweave with the Dao and logic, and even make it gestate a partial deity, because Zhang Xuan himself is already approaching the Saint Realm.

Even on Earth, this world could hardly exert strong suppression on Zhang Xuan; in an era like Earth's, which is generally a world of depleted spirituality, he possessed unfathomable Divine Power.

Zhang Xuan spent a full half-month outside the Kunlun Mountains polishing and refining the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda.

For him, he had long been prepared in this regard; whether it was the "One Weapon Breaks Ten Thousand Laws" from the Dao Scripture or the later Soldier Secret, the refining of weapons was unparalleled in the world.

It was just that Zhang Xuan had been troubled by the lack of suitable materials on hand, so he had never refined a weapon he was satisfied with; now that he had the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda, he was naturally like a fish in water.

However, the difficulty of shaping the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda also exceeded Zhang Xuan's expectations; it was very difficult to forge and refine it with the Dao fire naturally derived from his body, and very difficult to shape it into a complete form.

"How did Ye Fan refine the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron?"

Zhang Xuan touched the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda, which had only changed its shape slightly after half a month and still maintained its general pagoda shape, feeling a bit puzzled.

Thinking carefully, the root of Ye Fan's Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron seemed to have been refined in the Fire Domain, using the Bodhi Seed to shape the root of the Myriad Things Mother Qi in the depths of the Fire Domain.

"I don't need to do that now; after all, the entire initial embryo has been beaten into shape. I only need to beat my Dao and logic, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that I understand, into it, let it gradually gain sentience, and then keep it in my primordial spirit to brew."

After Zhang Xuan carefully polished and understood it, his mood became increasingly pleasant and natural.

He had already felt a close connection established between him and this God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda.

To celebrate, he used the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art to extract a wisp of Origin from a wisp of Quasi-Emperor blood picked from the God-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda.

Then he used this wisp of Origin to baptize himself; suddenly, his entire skeleton was crackling, his skin felt like it was bursting, and his primordial spirit was glowing like a boiling, burning sun.

If he were in Beidou, Zhang Xuan suspected that with such an operation, he would have rushed directly into the Saint Realm; fortunately, he is on Earth now.

Although Zhang Xuan took away the Green Copper Tripod and much of the Heaven and Earth Essence began to feed back into Earth, that change is minimal for now, and Earth is still relatively considered a place of depleted spirituality.

Cultivating in this world is like searching for an oasis and water in a desert, incomparably difficult.

Coupled with Zhang Xuan intentionally suppressing himself, although all five secret realms were glowing and rumbling thunder sounds were coming from his body after swallowing that wisp of Origin, he did not cross into a higher realm or reach a higher level after all.

"Not bad."

Zhang Xuan experienced his own state and finally felt comfortable and at ease.

He even compared his own state with the Nine-Orifice Stone Man gestated in the Shenmu World, feeling that his current state was perhaps a bit stronger than the Nine-Orifice Stone Man at the same realm, and his heart became even more relaxed.

"If I can't beat a natural Saint Spirit, then I basically shouldn't think about becoming a Great Emperor. This situation is fine now; all the secret realms are complete, and my strength has reached a higher level."

Zhang Xuan looked over the entire Earth and felt a sense of comfort and ease emanating from his heart.

"Now that the matters here are finished, I still have to go to Beidou when I have time; Earth is too barren, there aren't even any powerful cultivators."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed, but he did not leave immediately.

He went to visit many of Ye Fan's classmates; for those who needed money, he let moss provide these people with certain conveniences, whether in stock investment or other aspects. With moss helping in the dark, these people were like having gods helping them, making it very easy to get rich.

Their overall life would be quite comfortable, and they could live for a long time; as for the parents of Ye Fan and Pang Bo, Zhang Xuan taught them the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Originally, Zhang Xuan had made such plans in preparation for Ye Fan to return to Earth and provide Zhang Xuan with some help after he became successful.

Looking at it now, Zhang Xuan himself is already a big shot and can help Ye Fan in return, so the efforts made in the early years did not have much meaning.

However, the Nine Yang Divine Art itself was not of much use to Zhang Xuan now; he took a trip to Kyoto and the place where Pang Bo's parents lived to re-comb through the bodies of these few elderly people.

At the same time, he fed them some spring water drawn from the Immortal Pond in the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

This peculiar spring water was even more useful than the spring water under the Nine Wonders Immortal Tree in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land; it was the essence of heaven and earth.

After they consumed and refined it, they felt their overall state had become decades younger, and their state had probably returned to around thirty years old.

Moreover, in this process, the Nine Yang Divine Art was naturally cultivated to completion, and even parts of their Bitter Sea were stimulated.

Zhang Xuan thought about it; since things had already been done to this point, it didn't matter if he did a little more.

He recorded the cultivation method of the Wheel Sea with MOSS, and had MOSS teach them silently afterward.

It was the Sea of Bitterness Chapter from the Dao Scripture that was left behind.

As for the dragon horse within the Kunlun mountain range, Zhang Xuan did not bother with it; neither did he pay any mind to that powerful Demon Race member guarding Hangu Pass who had also reached the Zhan Dao Realm.

After silently handling the surrounding affairs, Zhang Xuan prepared to embark on a journey once more; he wanted to return to the Beidou region.

Having had the experience of sitting and discussing the Dao with the most top-tier figures of Beidou, returning to Earth, although life was peaceful and worry-free, always brought a faint sense of loneliness.

Compared to Earth, compared to this kind of peaceful and stable life, Zhang Xuan still preferred a little excitement in his life.

Although he did not like taking risks, he felt very comfortable being with those powerful figures of the Cultivation World.

"I took the Immortal Cauldron, and I also took the God-Marked Purple Gold; although this opportunity is mine now, and I even used top-tier scriptures to trade for it.

"But in the end, it counts as taking a portion of Ye Fan's things; settling his parents and Pang Bo's parents well can be considered giving him an explanation."

Zhang Xuan looked back at Earth, then, without hesitation, used the functions of the Chat Group to initiate a shuttle once again.

As long as a Chat Group member has been to a place, the Chat Group can be used to teleport people there, and since Qingdi's footprints covered the world, especially Beidou, Zhang Xuan could easily return to Beidou using this function.

When he felt the Heaven and Earth Essence become dense once again, and that sense of faint suppression disappeared, Zhang Xuan's entire heart stirred; he felt the relief of a giant boulder that had been pressing on his chest for a long time being removed.

At this moment, spiritual light was even flickering within his body, and he had the feeling that he could not suppress it and was about to rush into the Saint Realm.

"Compared to the protagonist of the version, my cultivation breakthrough is simply too easy!"

Zhang Xuan could not help but shake his head; compared to Ye Fan, who went through thousands of hardships and countless setbacks before breaking through to the Saint Realm.

Zhang Xuan's kind of breakthrough was as simple as eating and drinking water.

But thinking about it carefully, it was very reasonable, because Zhang Xuan had directly obtained things that Ye Fan would have found very difficult to acquire after going through thousands of dangers in the early stages.

The remains of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that had reached the Saint Realm, a dragon king cub that could grow to the Ancestor Dragon realm, the population of an entire city in a world, the Origin of a Great Saint who was the Heavenly Court Lord of an assassin organization...

The Origins of so many figures were all swallowed by Zhang Xuan using the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art; this was even more demonic than a demon.

If the successor of the Ruthless Person of Beidou were as ruthless as Zhang Xuan, their cultivation realm would have already rushed to the heavens.

"Sigh, looking at it this way, my breakthrough is still logical and reasonable!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed.

This time when Zhang Xuan returned, he did not go to a very distant region; he was still in the vicinity of Shencheng.

It was just that because his own strength and realm seemed a bit uncontrollable and he was about to break through again, Zhang Xuan stabilized himself first and did not immediately go to Shencheng.

Compared to the last time, the Heaven and Earth Essence of Beidou seemed to have become even denser this time; Gai Jiuyou was silently pushing the world of Beidou from behind, and the recovery of Essence was faster than Zhang Xuan had expected.

The breakthrough seemed to be faster and smoother, but Zhang Xuan felt that he was not fully prepared yet; mainly because the God-Marked Purple Gold Tower had not been refined to perfection, and it was still missing a little something.

The time he had obtained the God-Marked Purple Gold Tower was too short, only half a month or so, and he had not truly merged his own will with the God-Marked Purple Gold Tower completely; if he were to break through now, it would be difficult for the God-Marked Purple Gold Tower to rise to the level of a Transmitted Saint Weapon along with Zhang Xuan.

There were still many places and areas that required Zhang Xuan to further polish it.

And while polishing, Zhang Xuan also felt the notification sent to him by the Chat Group.

"Reached Tier 4 Great Accomplishment, about to step into Tier 5!"

The notification sound was not very loud, but Zhang Xuan could feel it clearly.

He felt a unique joy in his heart.

And it was at such a time that someone in the Chat Group suddenly looked for him.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Xuan's heart stirred, and he could not help but open the Chat Group; during this period, he had been in a relatively excited and nervous state, either in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, not daring to open the Chat Group at will, or later busy refining the God-Marked Purple Gold Tower.

He had not really looked at the Chat Group, but now that someone was calling him, it made Zhang Xuan's heart stir, and he took the initiative to open the Chat Group.

Meng Qi: 【@Zhang Xuan, there is a response. Brother Zhang Xuan, didn't you ask me to help you get some materials for the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid before? There is a response now.】

As soon as Zhang Xuan entered, he saw such a message, and his heart could not help but feel happy.

He had felt that the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid was not enough before; it was mainly because there were many people who wanted to use it and needed to use it.

To deal with the most terrifying Dark Turmoil, there had to be at least a few more Quasi-Emperors.

That Great Saint of the Cai Family needed to use some, and then that Wei Yi of the Tianxuan Holy Land needed to use some.

The living Old Madman could also use some to let him enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm ahead of time.

If that Dongfang Taiyi who cultivated both the Taiyin True Scripture and the Sun True Scripture could break the seal and come out, he could also be given some; he was not too far from the Quasi-Emperor Realm either.

Just this batch of figures alone could consume a large portion.

And this batch of figures all needed the strongest Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid.

Every refinement required the consumption of massive amounts of divine materials, which Zhang Xuan simply could not provide, and he had always been very troubled by this.

And now, everything had finally ushered in a turning point.
