Chapter 742 - 529: Numerous Treasures
The fierce wind has subsided, auspicious energy gently lingers!
Before long, Chen Sheng’s figure appeared like a Banished Immortal walking on clouds, gliding over the threshold of the main hall of the Eight Treasure Palace, landing steadily.
Inside the hall, jade pillars reached the heavens, immortal energy pervaded like a stream, spreading across the jade desk amidst crystalline flowers, forming a realm of quietude and pristine Dao.
Chen Sheng’s will and Divine Thought lightly brushed through, instantly probing the contribution point imprint inside the Named Disciple token of the Immortal Mountain.
Thousands of points were added, and he silently counted in his heart:
"Forty-eight thousand four hundred points!"
The origin of these contribution points was partly obtained by braving peaks.
The eighty-eight peaks of Immortal Mountain each conceal mysteries, and with every peak crossed, varying points are bestowed. The higher the peak, the richer the points received.
The second origin is the empty treasure spring in the depths of the Eight Treasure Glazed Pool.
This spring accumulates a pool every five Primordial Assemblies, redeemable for ten thousand contribution points.
"Over the years, despite seeing Heaven-Reaching Ancient Treasure Array Banners, I’ve never had the intention to exchange them."
"These contribution points must be saved for the most critical Realm-Breaking moment."
With firm resolve, Chen Sheng found a warm jade meditation mat and calmly sat down.
He observed himself internally with Divine Thought, pondering silently:
"The Void Tribulation has formed; I have steadily entered the fourth step of Integration."
"After Realm-Breaking, my lifespan will extend by three million years, leaving nearly four million years for diligent cultivation and refinement."
"In this lifetime, I lack the innate talent of a Daoist Monarch capable of grasping the Great Dao in an instant and progressing with Heaven-defying speed."
Chen Sheng’s heart was clear:
"Yet, with the long years of perseverance and the Immortal Dao Great Era, the vast inheritance of the Immortal Mountain, numerous opportunities lie ahead..."
"In this lifetime, I should be able to take another step forward!"
For him, taking another step forward was not merely a simple Realm-Breaking!
It was not only an ascent on the cultivation path but also for the next cycle of reincarnation.
Only by breaking through the current shackles can Chen Sheng acquire an additional talent during reincarnation, compensating for his shortcomings in insight and aptitude.
In the future, when reaching Mahayana and seeking Immortality, he would have more solid confidence and less uncertainty on the path ahead.
His thoughts became increasingly clear, proceeding slowly, cautiously, and step by step with solid progression.
His cultivation potential gradually exhausted, and his future path had two ways to proceed.
Firstly, relying on long years, grasp the essence of the Great Dao bit by bit, refine the Dao Foundation, and make steady progress through accumulation.
Secondly, use the contribution points to exchange treasures compatible with his path, leveraging their power to break through realms with half the effort.
"Travel both paths, maximize the effect!"
"The most suitable treasures for me naturally are those that eternally expand potential and enhance insight, only in this way can the shortcomings be compensated, and long-term benefits be gained."
With this thought, Chen Sheng slightly moved his Divine Thought, his fingertips pinching a spell, using the authority of a Named Disciple of the Immortal Mountain, his Divine Thought like a beam of light directly probing into the ephemeral shadow of the Immortal Mountain Treasure Vault.
The Treasure Vault shadow floated above the void, containing celestial treasures within.
Upon entry, myriad paths of Spirit Light soared into the sky, with auspicious energy swirling around the body.
Numerous celestial and exotic treasures floated within the Treasure Vault, some as brilliant as stars, with radiant luminescence and Dao Rhyme ascending to the heavens.
Within the Treasure Vault, many marvels are things rarely cultivated in the Grand Thousand Worlds...
Born when chaos first opened, generated by primordial energy, containing infinite mysteries, each capable of making ordinary cultivators compete fiercely.
...
"Treasures of the Three Great Immortal Mansions!"
"All are supreme treasures capable of forging an unparalleled immortal body, eternally enhancing insight, aptitude, and potential, the pinnacle of existence within the Treasure Vault."
The first is a treasure entirely white and shaped like a lotus seed, yet several times larger than ordinary lotus seeds, named "Innate Dao Heart Immortal Lotus."
This lotus grows in the Chaos Lotus Pool, absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, gathers the quintessence of the Great Dao, and matures over a trillion years.
After consumption, it completely purifies the Dao Heart, dispels Heart Demons, and forges the supreme "Dao Heart Clarity Immortal Body."
From then on, insight increases greatly, all laws can be quickly comprehended, no matter how obscure the cultivation techniques or mysterious laws, all can be understood instantly, never again disturbed by Heart Demons.
This type of immortal body experiences no hindrance in cultivation before Mahayana, even ordinary cultivators cannot glimpse the Mahayana Profound Meaning in their lifetime, yet can progress step by step, firmly understanding it, with an exceptionally solid foundation.
The second is a streak resembling flowing clouds, crimson red throughout, yet without a trace of heat, named "洞真仙焰" (Dongzhen Immortal Flame).
This flame possesses no Heaven-Burning, ocean-boiling power, but has the ability to enlighten and awaken, merging it into the Primordial Spirit, forging the "Everlasting Wisdom."
From then on, during cultivation, it automatically parses the mysteries of the Great Dao, even the obscure and incomprehensible innate Great Dao can gradually be penetrated, with infinite potential, once forged, it benefits for a lifetime.
The third is a block uniformly lustrous, resembling solidified fat, exuding a faint chaotic aura, named "混沌根源仙玉" (Chaos Origin Immortal Jade).
This jade marrow formed during the opening of Chaos, the first strand of wisdom root aura in heaven and earth, forged over trillions of years.
Refining it, one can forge the supreme "Chaos Immortal Body."
This immortal body naturally merges with the Great Dao without deliberate cultivation but can spontaneously perceive the Heaven and Earth Laws and the origin of the Great Dao...
Even without Heaven-defying opportunities, it can rely on this profound insight to steadily tread the path to Mahayana, with the chance of knocking on the door of the True Immortal.
"Such heavenly treasures are all astonishingly powerful!"
"If one can be obtained, forging the corresponding immortal body, achieving Mahayana cultivation is but a natural progression."
"Even knocking on the door of the True Immortal, there’s a sliver of hope!"
"But alas, these kinds of heavenly treasures are beyond my current aspirations!"
Chen Sheng shook his head lightly, his Divine Thought once again falling onto the three supreme treasures.
