“The Heaven-Mending Stone?”
Hearing these three words, Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief.
This item was indeed extremely rare.
Not to mention now, it was nearly extinct even in ancient times; even a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord would find it difficult to obtain a single piece.
But Li Chang’an was deeply fortunate; he had obtained one in the desolate sand tribe’s world.
In the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm, a mysterious powerhouse took thirty percent of that Heaven-Mending Stone.
“The remaining Heaven-Mending Stone should be enough to restore the Azure Wood Sword to its complete state,”
Li Chang’an pondered.
No wonder the divination had shown great fortune.
This stone not only helped him obtain the Ancient Wood Origin but might also allow him to receive the Nascent Soul inheritance.
Thinking of this,
he told the sword spirit, “Senior, I may have obtained a Heaven-Mending Stone.”
“Hmm?”
The sword spirit seemed quite surprised.
“Do you know what the Heaven-Mending Stone is? It’s a treasure from the mythical era, long since exhausted over the ages. It’s impossible for it to still exist in this world. How could you possibly have it?”
He suspected Li Chang’an had mistaken another treasure for the Heaven-Mending Stone.
Before this, Li Chang’an was merely a Golden Core cultivator, with limited knowledge; it was normal for him to make a mistake.
Li Chang’an didn’t waste words, directly taking out the Heaven-Mending Stone and asking the sword spirit to examine it.
“Senior, is this the Heaven-Mending Stone?”
“This…”
The sword spirit was stunned, reaching out to gently touch the Heaven-Mending Stone.
After a moment, he said in an incredulous tone, “This is indeed the Heaven-Mending Stone. Back then, Qingmu searched the entire cultivation world and couldn’t find it, yet you found it! Is your luck even stronger than Qingmu’s?”
“Perhaps this junior was just lucky for a moment.”
“Just lucky for a moment wouldn’t find this thing. Your luck is probably unparalleled in the current cultivation world!”
The sword spirit’s gaze shifted from the Heaven-Mending Stone to Li Chang’an, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He scrutinized it closely for a long time.
“I underestimated you. The cultivation world is full of talented people, with geniuses and prodigies in every generation. You are the best of this generation.”
“Senior, you flatter me.”
“Quite modest, not bad.”
The sword spirit nodded slightly, increasingly satisfied with his appearance.
He continued, “Your luck is heaven-defying; you even obtained a treasure like the Heaven-Mending Stone. Finding my fragments won’t be difficult. If the Azure Wood Sword is restored to its complete form, my memories might also be restored, and I will naturally remember the location of the inheritance.”
In other words, the day the Azure Wood Sword is complete will be the day Li Chang’an receives the inheritance. Even
if he doesn’t receive the inheritance, it doesn’t matter.
This sword excels in killing; even without the Azure Wood Heavenly Lord’s command, its power alone can pose a fatal threat to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
As long as it is restored to its complete form, Li Chang’an will essentially have an extra fifth-tier trump card that he can use at any time.
The problem is…
Li Chang’an doesn’t know how to find the Azure Wood Sword fragments.
“Senior, I’m not good at treasure hunting. My spirit beast has a talent for it, but its rank is too low, not even fourth-tier. How can it find your fragments?”
“That’s not difficult. I should be able to sense the location of the other parts. It’s just that I’m too weak right now. Continue to infuse me with Evergreen Magic Power. Once I’m strong enough, I’ll help you find them.”
“Alright.”
Li Chang’an wasn’t in a hurry and continued to nurture the broken sword with Evergreen Magic Power.
The sword was indeed too weak; even he could sense its obvious weakness, making it impossible to use much power.
The sword spirit made a second request: “Besides Evergreen Magic Power, you also need to take me to see the Azure Wood Divine Tower. It’s not just a purely sealing spirit treasure; it has the ability to find treasures and can help you find the other fragments.”
“Senior, once my cultivation is consolidated, I’ll take you to meet Senior Azure Wood Divine Tower.”
Li Chang’an immediately promised.
In the following days,
he remained in seclusion deep within his cave, his cultivation gradually stabilizing.
…
Meanwhile,
at the Myriad Array Sect, in the Foreign Affairs Hall…
Yao Lanqin stepped into the main hall, picked up a jade tablet engraved with “Changqing Mountain,” and changed the “Golden Core” designation on it to “Nascent Soul.”
After doing this, she used her magic to send the jade tablet high up, placing it alongside the jade tablets of many other Nascent Soul factions.
At this moment, Ren Huan happened to arrive at the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Seeing this scene,
he smiled and asked, “Junior Sister, has someone from an affiliated sect achieved Nascent Soul?”
“Yes, it’s Li Chang’an, the Lord of Changqing Mountain. He recently achieved a True Nascent Soul.”
“So it’s him.”
Ren Huan naturally recognized Li Chang’an.
Not long after the Blood Crystal Secret Realm opened, he had heard of a Golden Core cultivator named Li Chang’an who was cowardly and afraid of the Blood Sacrifice Array,不敢入密境寻宝 (dared not enter the secret realm to search for treasures).
At that time, he didn’t pay much attention. It was only
after his later trip to the Wugu Clan’s secret realm that he gained a better impression of Li Chang’an.
If it weren’t for Li Chang’an, Wu Yu would have died in the secret realm, unable to obtain the treasures in the temple, and would not have become Luo Yu’s disciple.
“He was unremarkable before, with little strength, but this sudden Nascent Soul formation is most likely related to Wu Yu. It seems Wu Yu gave him quite a few treasures.”
Thinking of the many treasures in the temple, Ren Huan felt uneasy.
But it was too late; there was nothing he could do.
Even if Wu Yu hadn’t opened the temple, he couldn’t have obtained its treasures. After all, he didn’t have the bloodline of the Wugu clan and could only ask a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord for help, which would ultimately be in vain.
Yao Lanqin suddenly spoke up: “Senior brother, is the Blood Sacrifice Array in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm related to you?”
“Blood Sacrifice Array?”
Ren Huan shook his head, denying it.
“Junior sister, that Blood Sacrifice Array is of extremely high grade, likely a fifth-order array. My array skills are only fourth-order high-grade; how could it be related to me?”
“Master said that the Blood Sacrifice Array as a whole was left from ancient times, but some damaged areas were repaired in recent years.”
Yao Lanqin spoke coldly, her gaze fixed on Ren Huan’s face, not missing a single change in expression.
“A fourth-tier superior-grade Dao-suppressing technique, combined with your special spiritual body, is enough to repair that part of the damage.”
“Don’t worry, junior sister, I would never do such a thing.”
Ren Huan smiled and made a solemn promise.
Having received his assurance, Yao Lanqin didn’t ask any further questions and turned to leave the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Ren Huan narrowed his eyes, watching the direction she left in, lost in thought.
Just then,
he suddenly received a message from the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord.
“Come to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.”
“Yes!”
Ren Huan dared not delay, sparing no expense of top-grade spirit stones, and hurriedly rushed to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.
The secret realm was still a sea of blood, with mountains of withered bones.
Enormous blood-red vines, like a giant python, covered most of the sky.
On the vines,
the Myriad Blood Fruit had ripened.
It was entirely scarlet, its surface covered with blood-red lines resembling veins, releasing a rich, bloody aura.
The Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord, draped in a blood-red robe, looked coldly at the Myriad Blood Fruit.
“The quality of this fruit is lower than I expected.”
Hearing this,
Ren Huan’s heart skipped a beat.
This was his first time serving the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord, and if he didn’t do well, he certainly wouldn’t be trusted
by the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord. The quality of the Myriad Blood Fruit was related to the quantity and quality of the blood sacrifice cultivators; poor quality meant the blood sacrifice wasn’t done well enough.
And he was the one who presided over the blood sacrifice.
“What should I do…”
He couldn’t help but feel anxious. If he couldn’t think of a way to make up for it, the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord would definitely be disappointed in him.
At this moment, the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord spoke again.
“Can you sense the emotions of this fruit?”
“Emotions?”
Ren Huan was taken aback and carefully sensed it.
Soon, he discovered that this fifth-tier spiritual fruit was releasing an emotion of hunger, seemingly wanting to devour more flesh and blood.
Mixed within this emotion was a special aura.
He was familiar with this aura.
“Li Chang’an!”
Ren Huan was somewhat surprised.
Why did this fifth-tier spiritual fruit want to devour Li Chang’an?
Could it be that Li Chang’an’s flesh and blood were special?
He couldn’t figure it out for a moment, so he could only say to the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord, “Senior, I sensed that this spiritual fruit wants to devour more flesh and blood, especially the owner of that aura.”
“That’s right, do you know that person?”
“Yes.”
Ren Huan nodded without hesitation.
He immediately told him, “That person is Li Chang’an, the master of Changqing Mountain in the south of the Myriad Array Domain.”
“Li Chang’an? What is his cultivation level?”
“Early Nascent Soul stage.”
“Go and kill him, and bring his corpse here.”
“Yes!”
Ren Huan immediately agreed.
He had no grudge against Li Chang’an, but in order to please the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord, he didn’t mind killing one more person.
Anyway, he had already killed tens of thousands of cultivators, one more wouldn’t make a difference.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I’m sorry, I can only exchange your life for my path.”
Ren Huan secretly calculated.
“He has just reached the Nascent Soul stage, his foundation is shallow, I can kill him easily, this matter should not be difficult, I can soon offer his corpse to Senior Blood Transformation…”
…
That night.
Changqing Mountain, the cave gate slowly opened.
Li Chang’an stepped out of the cave and bowed to Luo Yu, who was protecting him outside.
“My cultivation has been consolidated; thank you for your protection, senior!”
“Hmm, cultivate diligently. Your talent is not low; you may be able to embark on the path of Nascent Soul.”
Luo Yu encouraged him.
Then,
he explained the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage to Li Chang’an.
Li Chang’an focused intently, carefully noting down every word.
Before he knew it, it was midnight.
A golden light appeared before his eyes.
[The divination has been updated]
[Today’s divination: Neutral]
[You’ve been targeted by Ren Huan, but Ren Huan dares not act because Luo Yu is present.]
“Ren Huan?”
Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.
He had no grudge against this man, so why was he targeting him?
“Could it be because of the Black Feather incident?”
“No, if it were truly because of that, he would have acted long ago, not delayed until now. It must be something else.”
“It’s a pity Senior Luo is here, otherwise I would definitely capture him and question him thoroughly.”
Li Chang’an remained silent, pondering silently.
To him now, a Nascent Soul cultivator was nothing.
Even without using his Seven Emotions Profound Art and the Mind-Questioning Technique, he was confident he could face Ren Huan head-on.
Of course, Ren Huan also had a trump card: a fifth-tier technique.
Using the Seven Emotions Profound Art and the Mind-Questioning Technique against him would be more prudent.
“I’ll find a way to capture Ren Huan after Senior Luo leaves,”
Li Chang’an decided.
He didn’t show any abnormality and continued listening to Luo Yu recount the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
At this moment,
he suddenly sensed Ren Huan’s aura.
“Here he comes.”
Li Chang’an remained calm and waited quietly.
Ren Huan also sensed Li Chang’an’s presence, but he didn’t make a move, because he noticed Luo Yu was also there.
“Why is Master at Changqing Mountain?”
Ren Huan was startled.
In the courtyard of Changqing Mountain, Luo Yu and Li Chang’an sat facing each other, one speaking and the other listening, like a master and disciple.
Ren Huan himself was Luo Yu’s disciple, but he rarely received such treatment.
“Does Master intend to take Li Chang’an as his disciple? This is troublesome.”
Ren Huan felt a headache coming on; he had already made a promise to the Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord.
If Li Chang’an were to be taken as a disciple by Luo Yu, the trouble would far exceed his expectations.
“Master must have already sensed my presence. If I leave now, it will definitely arouse Master’s suspicion.”
Ren Huan dared not make a move at this moment, nor did he dare to leave directly.
Left with no other choice,
he could only smile, take out a piece of fourth-grade spirit wood, and head towards Changqing Mountain.
Not long after, he landed in the courtyard and bowed to Luo Yu.
“Disciple Ren Huan greets Master!”
“Hmm.”
Luo Yu nodded slightly and glanced at him.
“What brings you here?” “
This disciple heard that Fellow Daoist Li has successfully formed his Nascent Soul, and has come to congratulate him.”
He presented the fourth-tier spirit wood in his hand.
This wood was quite valuable, suitable for a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Wood element, and a fine congratulatory gift.
Li Chang’an did not refuse and accepted it on the spot.
“This guy must be feeling quite aggrieved.”
He clearly came to kill, but had to change his purpose to offering a treasure; anyone would feel aggrieved in that situation.
He smiled, “This wood is extremely useful to me, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ren!”
“It’s good that Fellow Daoist Li finds it useful.”
Ren Huan smiled broadly, seemingly quite familiar with Li Chang’an, and offered some congratulatory words.
After a short conversation,
he brought up another matter.
“Fellow Daoist Li, to be honest, I have a request.”
“Please speak, Fellow Daoist Ren. If I can help, I certainly will.”
“This matter is not difficult; it concerns my junior brother, Wu Yu.”
Ren Huan explained that he had some conflict with Wu Yu due to the matter of the Wu Gu Clan ruins.
After all, they were fellow disciples, and they would inevitably run into each other again.
He didn’t want things to get so tense.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I’d like to trouble you to act as a mediator and ease the tension between me and my junior brother,”
Ren Huan slowly explained his purpose.
He didn’t have much interaction with Li Chang’an, and his late-night gift-giving seemed suspicious. This request made things more reasonable and less likely to arouse Luo Yu
‘s suspicion. Li Chang’an replied, “I will try my best, but everything depends on Wu Yu’s wishes.”
“I understand, thank you for your trouble
, Fellow Daoist Li.” As he spoke, he took out another treasure as payment for the matter.
After chatting for a while, he bowed to Luo Yu, “Master, this disciple is returning to the sect to cultivate.”
“Hmm, go back.”
“Yes!”
Ren Huan breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left Changqing Mountain, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
Luo Yu said to Li Chang’an, “You don’t need to worry too much about his matter with Wu Yu; focus on your own cultivation path.”
“Senior is right,”
Li Chang’an nodded in agreement, while pondering Ren Huan’s true purpose.
Several more hours passed unnoticed.
Night faded, and dawn broke.
Luo Yu finished his guidance and left Changqing Mountain.
“Senior, take care!”
Li Chang’an said respectfully, seeing Luo Yu off.
With that, the matter of Nascent Soul formation came to an end, and Changqing Mountain fell completely silent.
At this moment, the
sword spirit suddenly transmitted a message to him.
“Li Chang’an, that Ren Huan has a fragment of the Azure Wood Sword on him!”
Hearing this, Li Chang’an’s spirits lifted.
He had thought this matter would take a long time, but unexpectedly, news came so quickly.
“Senior, are you sure?”
“How could I mistake the aura of the Azure Wood Sword? I am still weak and cannot sense far, but he was just standing in front of you, there’s no mistake!”
The sword spirit was very certain; it was indeed a fragment of the Azure Wood Sword.
“Take him down as soon as possible. If I can merge with that fragment of the Azure Wood Sword, I can become stronger.”
“Alright!”
Li Chang’an already wanted to take down Ren Huan and ask him his reasons for attacking.
Now he had another reason.
In the following days,
Li Chang’an occasionally used his divination power to deduce Ren Huan’s location.
Before leaving, Ren Huan had not erased his aura.
Using these auras, Li Chang’an could make precise deductions.
However,
the first few deductions were not smooth.
As soon as he started, a sense of unease arose in his heart, forcing him to give up.
“It seems Ren Huan is inside the Wan Zhen Sect.”
Li Chang’an knew very well the source of this unease.
Inside the Wan Zhen Sect, there were fifth-level diviners, and more than one.
These fifth-level diviners would use divination techniques to weave a celestial net above the sect to resist external diviners’ deductions of the Wan Zhen Sect.
If Li Chang’an forced his deductions, he would definitely touch this net, causing the fifth-level diviners of the Wan Zhen Sect to notice.
Although he had the protection of the divination symbols, preventing him from being “searched for causes and effects,” it was still somewhat dangerous.
“Try again. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll put this matter aside for now and go to the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty to bring the sword spirit to see the tower spirit.”
Late that night, Li Chang’an made another deduction.
This time it went smoothly.
He deduced Ren Huan’s location without sensing any danger, although the location was somewhat vague.
“He seems to have left the sect and is in a region not far from the Myriad Arrays Sect.”
“Strange, why is the divination so blurry? Could he possess a high-level treasure that influences divination?”
“Never mind, I’ll go check it out first.”
Li Chang’an quietly left Changqing Mountain.
Not long after,
he arrived in the central region, approaching Ren Huan’s location.
“This is the ancestral land of a Nascent Soul family, an affiliated family of the Myriad Arrays Sect. Ren Huan might be here to assign sect tasks.”
“We can make our move on his way back to the Myriad Arrays Sect.”
“However, he is ultimately a disciple of a Heavenly Monarch, and possesses the special ‘Blood Array Spirit Body,’ not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Let’s see what the divination reveals first.”
Li Chang’an patiently waited.
Soon, midnight arrived.
A golden light appeared.
[The divination has been updated]
[Today’s divination: Ominous]
[You used the Seven Emotions Mystic Art and the Mind-Questioning Technique to trap Ren Huan in an illusion, but you were unable to break through the spiritual shield released by the low-grade fifth-tier armor .
] [After Ren Huan woke up, he used a fifth-tier talisman, forcing you to use the Realm-Splitting Talisman to escape.]
“An ominous divination.”
Li Chang’an frowned slightly, repeatedly reading the divination’s contents.
The problem lay with that fifth-tier armor. Once
a piece reaches the fifth tier, it will generally develop a spirit, and even if Ren Huan is unconscious, the spirit can still block Li Chang’an.
Unless Li Chang’an also possesses fifth-tier techniques, he cannot defeat Ren Huan.
“As expected of a renowned Nascent Soul disciple, I underestimated him, and I also underestimated the core disciple of the Nascent Soul Immortal Sect.”
Li Chang’an sighed inwardly.
This matter was more troublesome than he had anticipated.
He was temporarily unable to deal with the fifth-tier armor, and Ren Huan couldn’t defeat him either; neither of them could overcome the other.
The sword spirit suddenly asked him, “Ren Huan has already come out, why haven’t you made a move yet?”
“Senior, he has a fifth-tier spirit armor protecting him. I don’t have fifth-tier techniques. Can you break through that armor?”
“This…”
The sword spirit stared in the direction Ren Huan had left, pondering for a moment.
“If I were at my peak, breaking the armor wouldn’t be difficult, but I don’t have much power. I’ll go find the Azure Wood Divine Tower first and ask for his help.”
