Chapter 1559: Master Qi's Heaven-Defying Supreme Treasure!

Thank you, Lord Lu Xuan!

Qi Chunjiang's eyes flickered with undulating light, his temples frosted with stars, making him look like a scholar who has weathered many vicissitudes.

Compared to combat, he still preferred reading a bit more.

Back when he was in Everlasting Heaven, only because Lord Lu Xuan had disappeared and the Spirit Martial Emperor descended to the realm, seeing the situation about to collapse, did he suddenly attain enlightenment overnight and become a sword cultivator.

Of course, this sudden enlightenment overnight was not unrelated to the opportunity left behind by Lord Lu Xuan.

Now Lord Lu Xuan oversees the Butterfly World, together with Ye Shuang and Dieyue, these heaven-defying powerhouses, so for the time being there's no need for him to act personally.

Then… following his true heart, let's read.

During the several months on Gleaming Illumination Star, his state of mind grew ever more tranquil.

He faintly recalled some fragmented pieces of the past.

That small town, that boy from the muddy alley…… and the scene before he entered the town.

These memories were highly fragmentary, flashing by in an instant.

Lord Lu Xuan mentioned that, in the future, Cloud Cliff Academy would be destroyed.

So, after he joins Cloud Cliff Academy, can he alter its fate's trajectory?

Not long after.

Qi Chunjiang finished eating and came before Lu Xuan.

With a thought, Lu Xuan produced an ancient jade slip.

Within the jade tablet was sealed Cloud Cliff Academy's Vast Righteous Qi, as well as the Confucian-Dao aura.

The orthodox cultivation method of Cloud Cliff Academy is called the 'Holy Confucian Righteous Qi Classic'; its heaven-defying aspect lies in that by perusing the holy Confucian texts of the world, one can acquire extensive knowledge and strong memory, deriving Vast Righteous Qi, and there is little conflict among them.

This is the Vast Righteous Qi Dao Resonance that Lu Xuan seized from the Profound Observation Branch Academy of Cloud Cliff Academy.

Utterly pure, utterly profound!

You should know that this branch academy lies in the starry vicinity of Profound Observation Star; because of Yang Tianming's influence, there sits a powerful academy instructor, whose strongest Dao Resonance even surpasses the Dao Substantial Realm, entering the Dao Transformation Realm.

Qi Chunjiang received the ancient jade slip, immediately went to a nearby spot, sat cross-legged, and began to contemplate.

Boom!

When his divine sense entered the ancient jade slip, the surging Vast Righteous Qi immediately rushed to strike Qi Chunjiang, while a vast amount of powerful remnants' thoughts wailed forth.

One after another, voices rang out in Qi Chunjiang's Sea of Divine Sense, exploding like thunder.

"The Master said: 'Those who pass away are like this, never ceasing day or night!'"

"The Soldier said: 'The way of soldiers is deceit!'"

"Gathering the fern, gathering the fern, the fern also signifies rest..."

In a tremendous boom, Qi Chunjiang's landscape-ink-colored long robe billowed up, his sideburns and long hair fell down, and the surrounding Vast Righteous Qi directly transformed into a terrifying storm.

Lu Xuan opened his Insight Eye, secretly observing Qi Chunjiang's body.

Qi Chunjiang's inner world at this moment actually evolved numerous mysterious phenomena; at his Dao Foundation, a scroll unfurled, and those Vast Righteous Qi frantically surged into that scroll.

"This scroll…… is the primordial form of a supreme treasure."

Lu Xuan instantly discerned its essence.

Within that Vast Righteous Qi also lay the 'Dao' and 'Resonance' of the former academy instructors; although they had in some measure vanished, their spiritual traces still remained.

However, they were only extremely faint.

But upon Qi Chunjiang's Dao Foundation, that scroll, like a great sun, attracted those spiritual traces.

As if, as long as one could inscribe patterns upon that scroll, they would endure forever!

This is a deadly attraction!

Holy Confucians mostly do not like battle, yet they love fame, pursuing eternal imperishability, seeking renown for a thousand ages.

Lu Xuan felt somewhat moved, 'Indeed worthy of Master Qi.'

Besides this heaven-defying scroll, there also appeared the phantom of an ancient book, likewise a vague illusion, but exuding an inscrutable aura, even deeper than the Book of Ages.

Now this ancient book, merely opening a front page, pours forth endless Dao Resonance, radiance blazing.

Hiss!

Lu Xuan saw through all this as clearly as seeing fire, yet Qi Chunjiang remained completely unaware.

These two primordial forms of supreme treasures merely exist at the level of Dao Resonance, and only under Lu Xuan's Insight Eye can their traces be revealed.

At this moment, Qi Chunjiang began to continuously absorb these Vast Righteous Qi.

His cultivation was surging wildly!

Qi Chunjiang shockingly discovered that, whereas he had been actively absorbing, now the Vast Righteous Qi frenziedly surged into his body.

Two-Star Dao Lord Realm!

Three-Star Dao Lord Realm!

…

Gradually, Qi Chunjiang's body began to sway; this surging Vast Righteous Qi exceeded his capacity to bear.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force fell into Qi Chunjiang's body.

Like a spring breeze, like sweet rain, it showered down.

The Vast Righteous Qi within Qi Chunjiang's body, which was nearly boiling, began to calm down, becoming orderly.

In the end, Qi Chunjiang's cultivation settled at the Five-Star Dao Lord Realm!

This was equivalent to a baptism of sweet dew!

And it was flawless!

Just because.

The two primordial forms of supreme treasures existing within Qi Chunjiang's body washed away the mundane, letting those Vast Righteous Qi continually be purified; what Qi Chunjiang absorbed was the essence of the essence, without any impurity.

Thank you, Lord Lu.

Qi Chun Jing's eyes became even clearer.

He slowly rose to his feet, exuding an indescribable feeling; at a glance he looked like a scholar.

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad, Mr. Qi can later go to the Cloud Cliff Academy, the Observing Mystery Branch; it's not far from Yang Tianming's Observing Mystery Star, making it a good place to go nowadays."

Qi Chun Jing nodded, a warmth rising in his heart.

Lord Lu's address for him had unknowingly changed from 'General Qi' to 'Mr. Qi,' giving him a sense of profound mystery, as if fate itself had shifted.

Not far away, Elder Ye Shuang spoke, "I can draft a letter for you."

"Thank you, Elder Ye Shuang." Qi Chun Jing gave a slight bow.

In Elder Ye Shuang's illusory hand, a jade slip appeared, and she began to inscribe some ancient characters.

"Cloud Cliff Academy: Qi Chun Jing, Mr. Qi is gentle and jade-like, well-read, brimming with vast righteousness, sharing a slight affinity with someone, wishes to join the Cloud Cliff Academy, hoping for his safety. His talent is heaven-defying, he will surely lead the academy to rise again; no need for excessive hope, nor be indifferent—just right will do."

Moments later, Elder Ye Shuang handed the jade slip to Qi Chun Jing.

Qi Chun Jing accepted it and thanked her again.

Elder Ye Shuang smiled and nodded.

Lu Xuan said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, returning to the Vast Righteous Confucian Path can help you reclaim the past and reclaim yourself."

Qi Chun Jing blinked slightly, thinking to himself that Lord Lu must know his past.

But he was not attached to the past.

In this life, his existence in the Endless Heaven is already splendid enough.

What's past cannot be chased; why bother picking flowers at eventide?

Qi Chun Jing bowed to Lu Xuan again, then sat cross-legged, beginning to settle those insights.

Not long after.

Yang Ling'er, Qing Qiu, Wu Wo, and the others had also finished eating; Tie Xiao Qing began washing pots and bowls, while they came before Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan smiled, having cleared the star map of the Azure Cloud Sea, "Then, what I arranged for you is merely a participation; you just need to follow your hearts."
