Free Web NovelChapter 1255: Chapter 959: Winter Has Arrived (2)
The facts are indeed like this.
Everyone present were orthodox cultivators back in their days, doing good deeds within their capabilities, much like Bai Heqing who diligently secured peace in Anping Town, but for years saw little reward.
After enduring hundreds and thousands of years, they met Mr. Jiang, and suddenly everything went smoothly for them. To forcibly attribute this to the deep blessings accumulated from years of virtue seems too ethereal and elusive.
"There’s some truth in this, yet cultivators still believe in it, don’t we?" Hu Zhile covered her mouth and laughed: "Speaking of that Leisure Sect disciple who, after finding the cause, wanted to find a new way, searching for methods to accumulate blessings and virtues.
In their Otherworld, wars often erupted.
The battlefields were numerous, with corpses of various races piling up after battles, often leading to outbreaks of corpse poison epidemics.
The disciple had limited strength and couldn’t prevent the wars and chaos. After years of research and investigation, he finally created a cultivation technique—a technique that could ’utilize waste’ by refining remains in the battlefield and transcending souls.
It is said that the technique is quite miraculous, able to refine corpses into ashes and extract the remaining energy from flesh and bones, called ’essence’. Essence is a pure form of life energy that cultivators can absorb.
In this way, it not only solves the rampant epidemic caused by mountains of corpses; it allows the dead to return to dust, and it can be used by oneself for cultivation..."
Jiang Yuan softly spoke: "Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique."
Hu Zhile nodded, replying: "Sir is right, it is said that this is a mandatory cultivation technique for all members of the Leisure Sect. Initially, it was used in refining bones, not considered an evil technique, for at first its intent and result were good, at least reducing the spread of corpse poison.
Later, the disciple taught this technique to the inner sect disciples of the Leisure Sect.
The initial intention was to have them also engage in refining bones, which could accumulate blessings and refine essence, rapidly growing their own cultivation. However, at some point, this cultivation technique turned into an evil technique against living people, devouring cultivators!"
"Since the Leisure Sect can use essence to cross tribulations, even evil cultivators need not fear being struck by lightning, thus they became increasingly reckless. In a short time, the Leisure Sect members surged dramatically, even riding this momentum, there appeared many fake disciples of the Leisure Sect."
She sighed heavily: "That ’Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique’ was also dissected and spread, many evil cultivators learned a sliver of it, committing atrocities to create corpse nourishing lands. I’ve heard the number of evil cultivators in the Otherworld has multiplied, fearing that the culture of the cultivation realm might worsen."
Yun Mo gazed at the Cloud Concealment Sect disciples working diligently in the Divine Mountain, speaking softly: "No wonder the Cloud Concealment Sect, skilled at divination, has come to Sir Jiang, likely having foreseen the heavy crisis..."
Before he could finish his words, a muffled thud was heard from the Furong Spirit Pool.
Amidst the falling snow, the number of lotuses in the pool dwindled, yet the Carefree Lotus bloomed, swaying charmingly in the cold wind.
Everyone looked over to see a figure in a blue-green robe laugh wildly as he flew out, "Hahaha! I have finally succeeded in refining it! Hahaha!"
After landing, he tidied his attire and solemnly bowed, "Many thanks for the master’s grace, I have successfully refined the Cyan Dragon Divine Power, what should I do next, I ask the master’s guidance."
[Special Mission: Azure Dragon]
[Task 5: Patiently wait for Huo Jun to refine the Cyan Dragon Divine Power, completed. Reward: Divinity +20; Divine Bone +20 issued]
[Task 6: Dispatch demon cultivator Huo Jun to clear the blockage in the Extreme East Secret Realm. Reward: Divinity +30; Divine Bone +30]
[Extreme East Secret Realm corresponds to the timing, as the world’s burgeoning place.
However, the vacancy of the Four Symbols Divine Beast Azure Dragon has long led to a severe blockage of vitality. Dispatch demon cultivator Huo Jun to enter from the Deadwood Cave and conduct clearing in the blocked secret realm.
The entire process requires enduring the grinding of death energy that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand, thereby washing away sins to atone for merits, revitalizing the place to benefit all beings.]
The moment the person exited the closed cultivation, a new task appeared in the system.
In the Spirit Pool, Bai Yunqi, who was meditating, was startled by this muffled sound, his flood dragon head emerging from the aura-filled pool, just seen by Huo Jun, whose spirit was high after exiting closed cultivation, "Bai Yunqi, see, your blessings aren’t deep enough, allowing me to pick up the big win to take the place of Divine Beast Azure Dragon!"
"Show some shame." Yan Xuan flew from the Turquoise Pool quickly, unabashedly remarked to his future colleague: "This opportunity was originally left for Bai Yunqi by master, but he adamantly followed master not wanting to stay in the Wilderness World as the Four Symbols Divine Beast, leaving the chance to you. You’ve picked what others discarded, cawing like a crow."
Huo Jun’s old face turned red instantly.
His exit interrupted Hu Zhile and the others’ gossiping, Jiang Yuan, eager with a new task, smiled and said: "To refine the Cyan Dragon Divine Power so quickly, you indeed have a fateful connection with this divine position, with excellent talent.
Logically, in winter it’s the turn of the northern Black Tortoise to guard, and the eastern Azure Dragon should sleep waiting for spring. But now the Four Symbols Divine Beasts are absent, less emphasis on tradition.
I’ll send you to the training place now, upon completion, it will be your ascension as the Azure Dragon."
Here in the small courtyard, there’s no need to hide it.
Even the hundreds of new Cloud Concealment Sect members who moved in are all taken in as guests, with everything managed by the omnipresent system, they know it’s no harm.
Regardless of whether it’s the Extreme North Secret Realm or Extreme East Secret Realm, except for oneself and the concerned demon, outsiders have no ability to interrupt their ’redemption’.
"Thank you again, master!" Huo Jun, with hands trembling slightly out of excitement, had already forgotten the joke from Yan Xuan.
Whether picking Bai Yunqi’s unwanted opportunity, when I succeeded, it would be my ascension, the Divine Beast Azure Dragon would be me, irreplaceable!
Last time when sending Yan Xuan to the Extreme North Secret Realm, the mode of transport was a paper Gundam.
Today, to send Huo Jun to the Extreme East Secret Realm, Jiang Yuan contemplated ceremonial needs shouldn’t be spared, thus he took out a Gundam from his storage bag and blew on it.
The unique skin personal immortal ship made of paper suddenly glimmered with metallic luster, growing into an eighteen-meter tall Freedom Gundam in the wind.
"Swoosh!"
Its impressive wings spread wide, shocking Shi Hu, Huo Jun, and others who had never seen such a sight, leaving them agape.
"What kind of Divine Artifact is this?"
"Looks somewhat like a human but not quite, seems to be wearing some kind of armor."
"With wings, does it fly?"
"Congratulations for guessing right, it does fly! This is an immortal ship crafted by master, it’s incredibly fast..."
......
Upon seeing the strangely shaped immortal ship again, the courtyard members still found it fascinating, unable to imagine the inspiration Mr. Jiang had to create such a unique form.
But certainly, it was eye-catching, ever since today, this strange flying vessel remains the favorite topic among enthusiasts. Its origin, destination, and the wonderment of which Artifact Refining Master crafted it, are hot topics.
Hou Ze already imagined Mr. Jiang piloting this immortal ship, soaring again in the Wilderness World, surely sparking a new frenzy of exploratory mystery.
But Jiang Yuan didn’t think much, he was eager to take Huo Jun to his task.
Whether Black Tortoise or Azure Dragon ascending, both resolve the issue of the Power of the Celestial Dao and the fall of the Wilderness World timely, significant to the entire world.
Freedom Gundam took off, amidst the snowy sky shooting up to the cloud layers, catching the eyes of the distant Cloud Concealment Sect disciples in the Divine Mountain, "Sect Leader, quickly, look what is that!"
"Such a strange shape, and such fast speed!"
Cang Rui looked up just in time to see the Freedom Gundam flying away rapidly, saying quietly: "Many times the ancestor commanded me to caution you all, not to be curious about anything regarding Mr. Jiang, nor attempt divination, or else suffer backlash risking your lives."
Xie Chenyuan, who nearly died once, blushed slightly and hurriedly lowered his head.
But many fellow disciples surrounded and quietly asked what it really was, since he was the first sect disciple to reside in the small courtyard, witnessing much.
Xie Chenyuan had to softly explain, it was merely an immortal ship crafted by Mr. Jiang.
Even Fu Qingzhou, the revered immortal ship crafting master, exclaimed in wonder, even begging to bow under Mr. Jiang’s tutelage.
"Immortal Ship? So it seems Mr. Jiang has urgent matters and went out again? Truly busy he is."
Hearing his junior sister say this, Xie Chenyuan whispered: "Last time the immortal ship was deployed, Mr. Jiang sent the senior Yan Xuan to the Land of the Extreme North for training, aiding its ascension as the Divine Beast Black Tortoise. This time Senior Huo emerged from closed cultivation presumably sending him to the training place, aiding his ascension as Divine Beast Azure Dragon."
Divine Beast?!
Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon?!
Cang Rui gazed at Xie Chenyuan in shock and confusion, thinking though knowing Mr. Jiang is formidable, this boast was indeed exaggerated?
