Chapter 1

Yan Zhe was speechless.

He had just been lying comfortably on his bed playing a mobile game when his phone slipped, hit his forehead, and somehow, he was directly smashed into a transmigration!?

Transmigration wasn't the issue, but he had become an artifact spirit.

He was no longer even human!

Although he hadn't been doing well in the two and a half years since graduation, he was at least a handsome young man in the prime of his life; now, he couldn't even be a person.

For a moment, it was hard to accept.

I haven't even had a girlfriend yet!

After receiving all the information, Yan Zhe discovered that he seemed to have merged with a game he played before transmigrating called "I Have Myriad Divine Abilities."

To be precise, he had merged with the supreme dharma treasure in the game, the "Divine Ability Treasure Mirror."

The so-called "Treasure Mirror" meant a precious mirror.

He had become a square mirror, and the mirror could form a new divine ability seed every sixty years.

And identical divine ability seeds could be repeatedly produced by consuming Spirit Qi.

As a Treasure Mirror, he could not cultivate himself; he could only allow other living beings to obtain divine ability seeds and become Dao Seed hosts through the method of "Sowing the Dao."

When a Dao Seed host cultivated a divine ability and attained the Dao through it, Yan Zhe could obtain their Dao Fruit.

Simply put, it meant others cultivated, allowing him to attain the Dao.

But in essence, he was just a dharma treasure, merely an artifact spirit.

Perhaps because he had just transmigrated, he directly obtained the first divine ability seed.

【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】: Uses the endless vitality of the earth's rejuvenation to transform into spirit rain, nourishing all things.

This divine ability could not only be used to accelerate the growth of all things, but could also be used internally to heal injuries.

The divine ability was very strong, but he couldn't use it himself; only after devouring a Dao Fruit could he obtain the divine ability.

A so-called divine ability did not require mana to activate; it consumed Divine Sense to mobilize the power of the universe's origin to release.

Generally speaking, only great cultivators or powerful demons with inheritance could display them.

The Divine Ability Treasure Mirror was different from ordinary dharma artifacts; it could not store Spirit Qi, and Yan Zhe could not use spells; the only things he could use were divine abilities.

Right now, he couldn't do anything, though he could see through the mirror's surface that this was by a small stream, and he was leaning obliquely against a pebble.

It was like being locked in a prison, looking at the outside world through a narrow window.

At such a young age, he was locked in!

How he longed for a living creature to approach, even if it were just an animal with a little bit of spirituality; as long as it allowed him to complete the Sowing of the Dao, he could share the Dao Seed host's perceptions.

To truly feel the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During this time, a few small animals approached the mirror, but none could serve as a target for Sowing the Dao.

Until this day, a human figure appeared in his field of vision.

Yan Zhe was instantly extremely excited.

Come, look over here, look at me!

——

The Yuanshuo Jie had Nine Provinces; on the Nine Provinces, there were immortal traces and demons, with ten thousand races competing, seeking the immortal fate of true spirit eternal existence, towering and magnificent, forming a vast scroll.

Donghua Zhenzhou, within the Beihuang Yu.

Ziyao Immortal Sect, on Ling Zhu Feng.

Amidst the lush greenery, a cluster of palaces sat within the bamboo forest, surrounded by clouds and mist, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Outer Sect Affairs Office.

Deacon Yang Dong looked at the person before him, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Have you decided? Giving up your status as an Outer Sect Disciple means you will no longer receive the monthly Spirit Stone subsidy."

The person opposite had a square face and thick, straight eyebrows; looking at his face, he seemed like a middle-aged man, but in reality, he was already eighty-three years old.

Lu Yuantu nodded respectfully and said:

"The disciple failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, damaging my foundation, and I am already old; if there is no heaven-defying opportunity, there is no possibility of advancing further in this life, so it is better to return home to have children and bring peace to a region.

I ask the Deacon to grant permission."

Yang Dong sighed; although he had seen many such cases, he still couldn't help but empathize.

The immortal path was perilous, and it was possible to be lost at any step; just this step of Foundation Establishment stumped more than eighty percent of cultivators.

That he himself was able to break through was truly lucky!

Yang Dong took back Lu Yuantu's Outer Sect Disciple token, exchanged it for a Lay Disciple token, and at the same time gave him a wooden box carved with flowers and grass.

"Since you have decided, then choose a place on this map.

As a Lay Disciple, you need to hand over two hundred catties of low-grade Spirit Rice every year; the surplus is your own harvest.

These are the seeds, which can be sown on five mu of land; if there are no diseases or disasters, you can harvest three hundred catties in a full year.

Develop it well; in a thousand years, you might even become a great cultivation clan."

"Many thanks for the Deacon's guidance."

Lu Yuantu took the box with both hands, then pointed to a place and said:

"Let's go with this one!"

The place Lu Yuantu chose was named "Chanyun Village," which belonged to the territory of Lu Yang Zhou, one of the one hundred and seventy-three prefectures under the Ziyao Immortal Sect, under the jurisdiction of Tong Yue Fu and Wenxi County.

A few days later, he arrived in the village.

This was his hometown.

However, he had entered the Immortal Sect at thirteen, and now that he had returned, things had changed.

The elders were all gone, leaving only his nephew's family of five to guard the family business.

Because there was someone in the family who was a disciple in the Immortal Sect, the county treated them quite well; although they lived in the village, they had a high-gate courtyard and lived quite comfortably.

Upon learning of Lu Yuantu's return, the entire Chanyun Village began to take action, full of joy.

But Lu Yuantu declined all invitations, saw no guests, and came first to Chanyun Mountain behind the village.

He needed to find a place with active Spirit Qi to plant Spirit Rice; Spirit Rice had extremely high requirements for land quality, and ordinary fields could not be used for planting.

Looking left and right, this small stream side was very suitable.

Walking to the stream, suddenly, he felt something flash in his eyes.

Walking closer to look, he discovered it was actually a square mirror.

The base of this mirror was black, made of an unknown metal, and the mirror surface was like crystal, emitting a soft light.

Not an ordinary object!

But Lu Yuantu couldn't tell the quality of this thing; he couldn't see any array patterns, and there were no traces of carving, which was very strange.

He tried to perceive it with his Divine Sense.

The next moment, the mirror in his hand disappeared, and when he reacted, he was shocked to find that it had appeared in his Upper Dantian!

The human body has three Dantians; the Lower Dantian is the place where essence is stored, the Middle Dantian is the place where Qi is gathered, and the Upper Dantian is the place where the spirit is nurtured.

The Upper Dantian is where the Sea of Consciousness is located.

There are three grades of dharma treasures in the cultivation world: the lower are dharma artifacts, the middle are spirit tools, and the upper are spirit treasures.

Only spirit treasures can be hidden in the Sea of Consciousness.

Great fortune, great opportunity!

Lu Yuantu's breathing became a bit rapid for a moment; he found a stone to sit on, meditated for two breaths, and calmed his mood.

Only then did he sink his mind to check the changes in this dharma treasure.

A line of text appeared on the mirror surface:

"Divine Ability Treasure Mirror: One divine ability every sixty years."

Immediately after, a divine ability called 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 appeared in his mind.

It was actually a divine ability, truly a divine ability!

"Those with divine abilities use them to command the heavens. In the path of cultivation, the lower refine essence, the middle circulate Qi, and the upper refine the spirit."

Only great experts could come into contact with divine abilities!

In the path of cultivation, from bottom to top: Fetal Breath, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Dao Harmonizing, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Vehicle.

Above Spirit Severing are called great experts!

He was merely a Qi Refining cultivator, yet he possessed a divine ability.

Moreover, judging from the information on this 【Divine Ability Treasure Mirror】, every sixty years, he could possess a new divine ability.

With all the information gathered together, only four bright, golden characters remained in Lu Yuantu's mind.

"The Great Dao is within reach."

For a moment, he actually shed tears.

The breakthrough failed, the Dao foundation was damaged, and he had thought the path of cultivation was cut off from then on; he never expected to obtain such an opportunity today.

Although he only had a cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi Refining, he still had more than a hundred years of lifespan; by finding some pills to repair his body, he could still survive for two sixty-year cycles.

Two sixty-year cycles meant two divine abilities; even if this current divine ability couldn't help him make up for his foundation, he still had two more chances.

If Heaven wants to destroy me, I will still struggle; if Heaven does not destroy me, how can I give up on myself!

Bosses, after chapter sixteen, starting with the fourth-generation Patriarch, the plot takes off. If you don't see what's behind it, it's your loss!
