458: Gifts from all the peak masters

"Inside, I have inscribed all my insights regarding the seventh and eighth transformations.

The ninth transformation is infinitely profound; I have studied it for thousands of years... yet I have not fully grasped its ultimate mystery, possessing only a fraction of its form and spirit..."

Li Cen's voice carried a hint of open regret,

"If you, Martial Nephew, have the Opportunity to comprehend the seventh transformation, you will have few rivals in the Soul Transformation realm;

If you can Revered Master the eighth transformation... the path to Void Refining will be as smooth as the earth beneath your feet!"

"This is my congratulatory gift, fulfilling my previous promise. I hope you maintain a righteous heart, Revered Master Yin and Yang, incinerate all evil, and protect our Yin Yang lineage!"

Li Cen's gesture was nothing less than leading the way for others to follow!

The Revered Masters of the other nine peaks of the Yin Yang Sect—which one of them wasn't a shrewd individual?

Witnessing the outrageous power of Yao Delong's Heavenly Tribulation, combined with Li Cen's act of directly imparting the core Profound Truth of the peak-guarding secret technique,

They instantly understood the value of this newly ascended Soul Transformation expert—he absolutely could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary new Disciple!

Especially since this youth clearly possessed great opportunities and secrets; his future achievements would be limitless!

Now was the perfect time to forge good karma and deepen their relationship!

Besides, his Revered Master, Leng Yuekui, was still watching from the Void Realm!

She was famously protective and not to be trifled with!

Pill Cloud Peak!

A phantom image of a crimson jade Pill Furnace, nurtured by a profound fire Spiritual Vein, flickered,

A scarlet Medicinal Pill, the size of a longan, shimmering with light and possessing eight intricate spiritual patterns on its surface, streaked through the sky and arrived.

The fragrance of the medicine filled the sky, refreshing the soul; one could feel the throbbing desire of the Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul just by smelling it!

The Dan Chenzi's ethereal and deep Divine Thought came with a smile:

"Martial Nephew Yao, your Soul Transformation is successful, and your Primordial Spirit is newly born; your robust Foundation needs even more nurturing!

This is the 'Nine Tribulations Divine Fortune Pill,' which I spent seven times seven, forty-nine years to create,

Merging eighty-one varieties of ancient medicinal essences that strengthen the spirit and benefit the soul, using a wisp of 'Great Void Purple Qi' as a catalyst.

Consuming it can condense divine light and increase the resilience and power of the Primordial Spirit's Origin by thirty percent! My congratulations!"

Spirit Plant Peak!

A gentle female voice, like the growth of plants, rang out (Bai Lengchan):

"Congratulations... Martial Nephew Yao, the Great Dao has opened for you! This 'Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Cloud Ganoderma Mother Root',

Has the effect of reconnecting severed limbs, reshaping the body's Foundation, and nurturing the Primordial Spirit by infusing it with wisps of Mù Yǐ Běn Gāng Origin Qi to consolidate the source of consciousness... I gift it to you, hoping to dissolve some of the regrets from back then!"

A heavy and ancient Dark-green Jade Treasure Pouch quietly appeared; though small, the Aura of its truly precious Origin far exceeded that of ordinary spirit plants!

Yao Delong's gaze swept over it, slightly complex... yet calm.

Deep within a spiritual garden somewhere on Spirit Plant Peak, Vice Peak Master Bai Lengchan looked at the Dark-green Jade Treasure Pouch flying into the distance with a complex expression,

Her fingertips unconsciously dug deep into the warm, fertile soil. Her eyes were filled with bitterness and guilt:

"Back then, that heavenly vein ganoderma... if not for that villain Luo Baiya secretly controlling my Primordial Spirit... Sigh!

Now that he has achieved such greatness... I wonder if he still harbors resentment toward this 'stingy' elder..."

She watched the direction where the Jade Dew Gourd flew off, her heart filled with a mix of emotions,

In the end, she just sighed deeply and turned to tend to the immortal sprouts at her feet more diligently, as a way to atone.

Tuyao Peak!

Boom! An ancient and heavy diamond-shaped stone seal, shimmering with a brass luster and covered in profound gravity runes, tore through the air,

Exuding a grand Aura that suppressed the earth and remained as immovable as a mountain!

Peak Revered Master Black River of the Earth's low Divine Thought, sounding like grinding boulders, vibrated:

"Kid! Your Physical Body is powerful enough! Your Primordial Spirit is also tough enough!

I'm sending you a 'Mountain-Shaking Profound Magnetic Stone Talisman,' a small item I crafted by refining the essence of Wù Earth!

Slap it out during a fight; even a Late Stage Soul Transformation expert will be dazed for a long time if hit squarely!

Even one at the Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage would have to stagger! Use it well!"

Spirit Forging Peak!

A spark of golden-red flowing fire tore through the void and hovered before Yao Delong.

The flame dissipated, revealing a magnificent crimson ring shaped like a Vermilion Bird about to take flight,

Precious light flowed over it, and countless fine defensive runes were faintly visible.

Ou Yehong's loud, laughing voice boomed:

"Kid Yao! Congratulations! I know you have many treasures, and you certainly won't lack enemies!

I'm giving you a 'Red Phoenix Feather Spirit Ring'! Wear it well!

This ring contains a folded void-point space, best suited for hiding one's form and Qi to run for your life!

It can also automatically condense nine layers of 'Red Phoenix Fire Feather Shields'; even the Divine Abilities of an ordinary Mid-stage Soul Transformation expert would struggle to break through three layers!

An essential for slipping away when getting pummeled in a fight!"

Chiyan Peak!

A stream of pure crimson fire light shot over like a meteor,

Wrapped within the center of the flames was a Jade Slip, red as blood, with what looked like lava flowing inside,

Exuding a pure and explosive Aura of the Law of Fire.

Peak Revered Master Fairy Fiery Sun, Ji Yanshuang's Divine Thought was crisp and direct:

"The Crimson Kong Blood Flame Crystal Pith Jade Slip! Inside are several insights I had regarding the changes in the Law of Fire while comprehending the Void Refining Realm!

Consider yourself lucky that you caught me just as I finished organizing them! It should be of some use in consolidating your overbearing Pure Yang dao foundation!"

Her tone still carried the fiery straightforwardness characteristic of Chiyan Peak.

Spirit Water Peak!

A soft blue water light drifted over, transforming into a translucent ice-blue jade box that hovered before Yao Delong.

Unlike the previous Pill Furnace, vine shadow, and giant rock,

This water light followed closely after Li Cen's Nine Transformations of the Vast Sun light point, appearing somewhat reserved.

Peak Revered Master Immortal Master Liu Yue's Divine Thought remained cold, yet it seemed to hold a trace of unspeakable complexity:

"Martial Nephew Yao, this breakthrough was perilous, your Foundation is world-shaking, and with your Primordial Spirit newly born, your surging Divine Thought especially needs harmonizing.

This is the 'Spirit-Concentrating Ice Amber Bead' crafted from Ice Soul Starlight Secret Silver. Wearing it year-round can calm the heart and cleanse thoughts,

Helping your Primordial Spirit Origin condense and stay guarded within, protecting it from external evils, and further accelerating the operation and deduction of your Divine Sense."

This congratulatory gift clearly bore the characteristics of Spirit Water Peak's extreme Yin cold Qi, yet it subtly complemented Yao Delong's extreme Yang Origin.

Jinxin Peak!

A flash of incomparably sharp white-gold light passed, and a piece only the size of a fingernail,

But exceptionally heavy pure 'Innate Great White Geng-Gold Essence' appeared before Yao Delong.

Holy Mother Jin Xuan, Mu Xianglan's Divine Thought carried a clanging rhythm like metal scraping:

"Emerging from the tribulation, you should sacrifice a precious sword! Refine this into your Chixiao, and it can sharpen its edge by another thirty percent!

Divine weapons also need Geng-Gold Qi for nourishment! Take it!"

Thunder Marsh Peak!

A tiny yet violent and destructive purple-gold arc of electricity leaped over,

Finally condensing into a round bead the size of a pigeon egg, its entire body entwined with purple-gold lightning patterns,

Inside, it seemed as if a miniature thunderstorm was raging wildly! The terrifying Aura made the very void crackle and pop.

Senior Lei Zhenzi's voice rolled through like muffled thunder from the Nine Heavens:

"Kid! Fierce enough! Take a strand of my 'Thunderstorm Origin Qi'!

Nurturing it daily can strengthen your Primordial Spirit's sharp vigor! Trigger it to explode when meeting a powerful enemy!

Haha! I guarantee it'll give your opponent a 'surprise' they'll never forget!"

This gift was full of the irrational, explosive style of Thunder Marsh Peak.

Zhuàn Zhèn Peak!

Three shimmering jade talismans, each emitting different profound fluctuations, arrived through the air.

One was as red as fire, faintly transforming into nine dragons; one was as green as a forest, concealing hidden vitality;

One was as ancient as a mountain, with thick earth supporting all things!

Immortal Master Fu, Han Yunzhou's Divine Thought was as precise and clear as engraved Dao patterns:

"Martial Nephew Yao, these are three talismans for protection and attack: the 'Nine Dragon Flame Purgatory Array Talisman' (Attack, invoking fire balefulness to transform into nine dragons for the kill),

the 'Everlasting Life Talisman' (Defense/Healing, drawing upon the wood essence of the surroundings to empower oneself or heal),

and the 'Immovable Mountain-Suppressing Talisman' (Protection, condensing a thick earth barrier for defense). Minor arts of the Talisman Dao, perhaps they can be of use in an emergency."
