Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 324 Ten Thousand Waters

"The Purple Palace Enclosure?"

As Zhan Hongxiu's figure disappeared and the restriction was restored, a series of footsteps sounded.

Fang Qing, dressed in a black robe, also appeared here.

He gazed at the barrier before him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Is a cultivation technique something so inconvenient? Dao-Born Pearl, give me... a transformation!"

As the Dao Sheng Pearl spun around, the original True Core of the "Swallowing the Sea Technique" within Fang Qing's Dantian Qi Sea was quietly dissolved, replaced by a verdant True Core, also at the Perfect Core Formation level!

The "Turtle and Crane Longevity Formula" at the peak of the Core Formation stage!

Although it has no natal spirit pet, no life-extending ability, and even finds it difficult to cultivate and improve.

But it is indeed the genuine divine power passed down from the Zhou Tian Xing Gong!

He reached out and gently brushed the barrier.

Whoosh!

The barrier collapsed instantly, and Fang Qing vanished in a flash...

……

"Old Turtle..."

A white jade mountain peak, with red sleeves spread out, walking on foot, like a climbing ant.

As she sensed the power of the restriction, she thought to herself, "Why do I have a bad feeling? Is this place really safe? Has no outsider come here for ten thousand years?"

"Of course, don't underestimate the power of the Fifth-Order Star Constellation Formation."

The old tortoise said, "I met this 'Jade Origin Peak Master' years ago. I know he transplanted a Heavenly Infant Fruit tree in his own spiritual herb garden. This place has been deserted for a long time, so there must be ripe Heavenly Infant Fruits here… After you take them, go to the Heavenly Hall and the Myriad Laws Pavilion… Hehehe, I'll take all the good stuff those old guys left behind this time!"

"And there's a ring-shaped mountain nearby, that was the cave dwelling of some Supreme Elder... This person was skilled in weapon crafting, a near-fifth-tier weapon crafter... There might be a replica of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure hidden inside the cave..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hongxiu was filled with excitement, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, her desire for enlightenment remained steadfast, and she inquired, "Is there any opportunity to achieve Nascent Soul status within this Purple Star Enclosure?"

Even now, in the cultivation world of the East Sea, Nascent Soul cultivators still hold supreme status.

The Nascent Soul cultivator is still a legend from ten thousand years ago.

However, while Zhou Tian Xing Palace doesn't claim to produce Nascent Soul cultivators generation after generation, it has produced several Nascent Soul Venerables, so it should have the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

When this was mentioned, Old Turtle's voice hesitated slightly:

"At the highest point of the Myriad Laws Pavilion, there might be secret techniques to aid in the Nascent Soul stage, as well as the breakthrough insights of several Nascent Soul Venerables... It could be considered a fortuitous opportunity for Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Our sect's opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage was reportedly passed down from our founding ancestor... that was countless tens of thousands of years ago. Legend has it that when our ancestor was still in the Nascent Soul stage, he unexpectedly befriended a 'Soaring Kunpeng'... that was a true 'Spirit,' comparable to a Nascent Soul Venerable..."

"And that true spirit Kunpeng nurtured a supreme elixir within its body, which it gifted to the Ancestral Master… Using this as the main ingredient, the Ancestral Master drew upon the power of heaven and earth from the Sea Eye to refine it into an unparalleled Nascent Soul Elixir. Consuming one elixir allowed one to become a Nascent Soul Venerable… The remaining few served as the foundation of the Zhou Tian Star Palace, nurturing several Nascent Soul Venerables over the next tens of thousands of years… But whether there are any left, I truly do not know…"

"A elixir for transforming into a Nascent Soul?"

With a heart full of longing, Zhan Hongxiu then arrived at the spirit herb garden behind the cave. Through the colorful restrictions, she saw a Heavenly Infant Fruit tree and its hanging fruit.

"Heavenly Infant Fruit?!"

……

"There have been so many opportunities, it's impossible to count them all..."

Fang Qing strolled along the Purple Palace Enclosure, secretly calculating with his hand: "Oh? There seem to be two little mice? Judging from the divination... they've gained unimaginable good fortune through the help of outsiders, but it's actually an ominous sign..."

He had a guess; it was probably the two, Zen Master Dazhi and Fairy Luo.

As former branches of the Zhou Tian Xing Palace, Shuiyue Palace and Leiyin Temple naturally wanted to explore the inner workings of Ziwei Temple.

However, it was not a coincidence that these two were able to enter the Purple Palace this time. Rather, it was through the coordination of their actions when they or Zhan Hongxiu activated the restriction that they were able to break in and gain many benefits.

However, the Ziwei Enclosure is the core of the Zhou Tian star palace, and there are unspeakable dangers. Therefore, one may die here, hence the ominous omen!

Fang Qing cast another divination for himself, and it turned out to be "good fortune hidden within misfortune"!

"It seems... this place is more dangerous than expected."

He took out the Sea-Swallowing Token and unleashed a burst of magical power upon it.

raging!

Above the Devouring Sea Decree, flames shot into the sky, pointing in a certain direction.

Fang Qing had no objection and followed along.

……

"Amitabha... Why are you following this humble monk, benefactor?"

On a white jade staircase, the Zen Master Dazhi had a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead, as if he were carrying a giant mountain on his back, and his back was somewhat hunched.

He turned around, gazing at the radiant Fairy Luo, and couldn't help but ask, "The Purple Palace is brimming with opportunities; why do you insist on competing with this humble monk for the 'Pavilion of Ten Thousand Laws'?"

Fairy Luo smiled gently: "Naturally, it's an order from our sect, and I have no choice... The 'Ancestral Hall' is probably empty, and the 'Heavenly Hall' is not open to either of us... As for the Heavenly Infant Fruits and imitation spiritual treasures in the caves of the sect leaders and supreme elders... the sect has those too. If we're talking about where we can obtain great benefits, it's only in the 'Myriad Laws Pavilion,' which is not restricted to all disciples... How about we share this place and then seek other opportunities?"

"Amitabha... It seems that the Grand Palace Master has now reached the Nascent Soul stage and is aiming for the Divine Transformation stage..."

The Great Zen Master clasped his hands together and said, "Regardless of what kind of mystical technique we obtain within the Myriad Dharma Pavilion, we must each make a copy. How about that?"

"That's excellent... It seems that the holy monk of Leiyin Temple is also not far from reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

Fairy Luo smiled knowingly: "If we could obtain the legendary 'Essence of Nascent Soul,' wouldn't that be an immense achievement?"

"Why bother testing me, benefactor? We both know that... the last 'Nascent Soul Elixir' within the Zhou Tian Star Palace has already been used up... the only remaining opportunity to reach Nascent Soul status lies with the Myriad Laws Pavilion."

When the two Zen masters reached the top of the steps, they saw an antique-style pavilion, sheltered by a dim light.

Fairy Luo released a talisman, clutching the fragment of the 'Water Moon Hook' in her hand. After silently sensing for a moment, she opened her eyes, a hint of joy appearing on her face: "The restrictions here are weak... I can forcefully open it without needing to cultivate the power of the 'Turtle and Crane Longevity Technique.' It truly deserves to be a place for the disciples..."

"Speaking of longevity, there was once a woman in the cultivation world of the East Sea who cultivated this technique..."

The Great Zen Master said, "Our temple has always wanted to see this woman, but we have never been able to. Could it be that she has been taken into the Water Moon Palace?"

"That's not true." Fairy Luo shook her head. "Moreover... even if it were the 'Turtle and Crane Longevity Technique,' it might not have been personally passed down by that Nascent Soul Venerable from back then... it's just a fragment from the outer hall, and since the restrictions can't be broken, it's not very meaningful..."

"Alright, the restrictions here still require our help."

She summoned the fragment of the Water Moon Hook, and upon witnessing this scene, even the Great Zen Master activated his Thunderous Sound Bell...

……

Fang Qing stepped onto the bluestone slabs one by one and walked to the end.

He looked up slightly and saw a magnificent ancient hall with three large characters written in ancient seal script on the plaque above it: "Tongtian Hall"!

Snapped!

Fang Qing grabbed the "Sea Devouring Token" in his hand, and the flames still pointed into the hall.

"Is this the place you wanted to bring me to?"

"The Heavenly Palace, where the Heavenly Treasures are stored?"

He chuckled to himself.

Fang Qing naturally coveted the so-called "heaven-reaching spiritual treasure".

According to the Venerable One of the Nascent Soul stage, the power of this Heavenly Treasure should far surpass that of the Purple Mansion Magic Treasure, yet it is still inferior to a 'True Treasure'.

Even in the realm of Qi cultivation, it would probably be an extraordinary treasure, requiring at least the three pieces of the "Dutian Blazing Flame Banner" to be combined into a set to be comparable.

"But how could the people of Zhou Tian Xing Gong not use it?"

"Even if they weren't used then, by the time the sect was wiped out, all the powerful treasures would definitely have been activated..."

"Could it be... that some ancient demon is being suppressed down here? Is the array's core a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, just waiting for me to take it so it can wreak havoc on the cultivation world?"

He stepped forward, sensing the restrictions outside the 'Tongtian Palace'.

"The restriction is very strong... faintly exceeding the fourth level, giving me the feeling of the restriction of Changyuan. A direct attack is obviously unrealistic."

Fang Qing smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

The power of the "Turtle and Crane Longevity Technique," which had reached the perfected Core Formation stage, surged, and the layer of restriction instantly melted away, revealing an opening large enough for one person to enter.

He secretly performed a divination in his mind and immediately strode inside.

Tread!

The Tongtian Hall was dark and silent until he entered, when one bronze lamp after another lit up.

As far as the eye can see, there are five high platforms, on which are portraits and offerings...

Layers of light curtains protected the high platform, but four of them were already empty.

Fang Qing first looked at the first portrait and found that it depicted a small banner surrounded by clouds, conveying the essence of yin and yang harmony.

"The 'Mysterious Heaven Banner,' a treasure forged by the ancestral master 'Mysterious Heaven Divine Venerable'..."

The platform was empty, apparently having been taken away by that 'Mysterious Heavenly God' long ago.

Fang Qing looked down at the next empty platform and found that the scroll depicted a small bell.

"Thunder Bell?"

On a nearby high platform, there is an image of a jade hook.

"Water Moon Hook?"

"These two Heavenly Treasures are also gone... but the Zhou Tian Star Palace has subordinate Thunder Sound Palace and Water Moon Palace... now they have become the 'Thunder Sound Temple' and 'Water Moon Palace,' two of the nine major powers in the East Sea..."

"These two families actually have Nascent Soul stage masters?"

"It seems the so-called rebellion is just Old Turtle's side of the story..."

Fang Qing looked at the remaining two platforms, one of which enshrined the 'Spirit-Slaying Sword', but it was also empty.

The last remaining high platform enshrines a small tripod, which is not the image on the scroll, but a real treasure!

"The Myriad Waters Cauldron?! A supreme spiritual treasure of the 'Sea-Swallowing Technique' lineage?"

Fang Qing held the 'Sea Devouring Token' and felt the fluctuations of the token, and even the pulsation of the 'Sea Devouring Technique' itself.

"The so-called 'Sea Devouring Demon Sect'...could it be like Shuiyue and Leiyin, a Nascent Soul lineage of the Zhou Tian Star Palace? They just rebelled later?"

"But ultimately, it was the last Nascent Soul cultivator—Venerable Fuyu—who completed the process of reclaiming and unifying the realm?"

He scanned the area again and found that there were only these five high platforms enshrining the Tongtian Lingbao, and no trace left by Venerable Fuyu.

The "Spirit-Slaying Sword" belonged to a Nascent Soul cultivator known as the "Sword Master," not to the "Fuyu Venerable."

The novel "Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms" is full of classic quotes, so come and find resonance.
