51: Chapter 51 Passing on the Magical Treasure!

【Trait "immortal lord fuzhe - red" triggered. You have obtained a Top-Grade Magic Treasure: eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda】

【eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda: Crafted using Innate Wutu Essence and Astral Core Crystals as primary materials, fused with the Earth Dragon Vein Qi of nine paths.

Contains eight layers of Restrictions. When fully activated, it can manifest the phantoms of the Eight Desolations Mountains to suppress all directions, making it as solid as a fortress.

Can withstand all attacks from Cultivators below the Void Refining Late-stage. Provides extra bonuses to Earth-attribute and Astral-attribute Divine Abilities. Can also serve as the core of a large-scale Formation, amplifying its power.】

With a thought, a small and exquisite nine-story pagoda floated before Gu Yan.

The pagoda was dark gold throughout, neither metal nor jade, with its body covered in Dao patterns resembling the veins of the earth.

Eight bells of different colors hung from each of the eight corners of the eaves, swaying without wind but making no sound.

“A Top-Grade Magic Treasure! The eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda!” A sharp light flashed in Gu Yan's eyes as a wave of joy rose in his heart.

The immortal lord fuzhe trait had surprised him once again!

Moreover, the description of the Magic Treasure this time was extremely clear: it could withstand all attacks from anyone below a Void Refining Late-stage Cultivator!

This significance was by no means small!

The departure fire burning heaven cauldron and nine heavens thunder pattern evil-shattering sword he had obtained before...

Although they were also labeled as Top-Grade Magic Treasures by the System, there was no clear explanation as to where their specific power limits lay.

He needed to explore and test them himself.

But this eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda directly stated its defensive upper limit.

This was equivalent to giving him an extremely clear reference point for his strength!

“Void Refining Late-stage...” Gu Yan silently pondered this Realm.

According to the information he had learned from Liu Qingyun's memories and the records of the Azure Wave Sect...

The Void Refining Realm, excluding top-tier Sects, was already at the level of Old Ancestors in many medium-to-large Sects in the Spirit Realm.

It was enough to hold sway over a region.

This pagoda's ability to withstand attacks below the Void Refining Late-stage meant that as long as he didn't encounter those old monsters, he would be almost invincible in terms of defense!

“Good stuff!” The more Gu Yan looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Pagoda-type Magic Treasures were already rare, mostly used for suppression, defense, and trapping enemies; this eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda was a masterpiece among them.

After the joy passed, a thought naturally surfaced.

“This pagoda... I don't seem to have much use for it in the Mortal Realm for now.”

With his Nascent Soul Ninth-tier cultivation and several powerful Mystical Arts, he could basically walk sideways in this Mortal Realm.

He wouldn't encounter an opponent who required the use of such a defensive treasure at all.

Instead of letting it gather dust here, why not...

His gaze seemed to penetrate the endless Void Realm, landing on that Incarnation in the Spirit Realm's Azure Wave Sect that was connected to his mind.

“Youhun is lurking in the Azure Wave Sect. Although things are going smoothly so far, the Spirit Realm is deep, and there's no guarantee he won't encounter emergencies or stronger opponents.

If he has this eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda for protection, his safety will be greatly enhanced, and he can execute plans more calmly.”

Thinking of this, Gu Yan's mind moved slightly, attempting to communicate with Youhun through the mental connection of the External Incarnation Divine Ability and transmit an intent about receiving the Magic Treasure.

A moment later, he received a response.

The Incarnation and the original body share the same Divine Soul source, so in theory, items can be transferred.

However, this requires consuming a significant amount of Divine Thought and spiritual power.

And there are certain requirements for the Magic Treasure itself.

It is best if the Magic Treasure has already been refined by the original body and imprinted with a Divine Soul brand.

This way, the transfer process will be smoother, and the Incarnation won't need to refine it from scratch after receiving it.

He would only need a little familiarity to gain control.

“The eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda hasn't been refined yet...” Gu Yan glanced at the dark gold small pagoda floating in front of him and no longer hesitated.

He reached out, and the pagoda fell into his palm.

Then he sat cross-legged and began to refine this Top-Grade Magic Treasure.

A few days later.

A dark gold light suddenly soared into the sky from the peak of Longevity Peak.

Amidst the clouds and mist at the peak, phantoms of eight towering mountains faintly appeared and drifted.

A heavy and boundless Dao charm spread out, giving the Disciples Cultivating in the entire Taiyi Dao Sect a strange sense of peace.

It was as if the ground beneath their feet had become more stable.

Gu Yan opened his eyes, and the eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda in his palm had shrunk to about an inch.

Like an exquisite pendant, it lay quietly, connected to his mind and moving as easily as his own limbs.

“Refinement successful.” He smiled slightly.

Without delay, he immediately focused his mind and activated the External Incarnation Divine Ability.

A speck of spiritual light shone at his brow, establishing a deeper connection with Youhun in the distant Spirit Realm's Azure Wave Sect.

He carefully wrapped the refined eight desolations mountain-suppressing pagoda along with a wisp of his Divine Thought imprint.

He followed that mysterious connection and transmitted it...

The process was smoother than he had expected.

Perhaps it was because the Incarnation was originally severed from him.

Or perhaps it was because the pagoda had been thoroughly refined, and his imprint was clear.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he sensed that Youhun had successfully received it.

And had begun to familiarize himself with the use of the pagoda.

Gu Yan let out a soft sigh of relief.

Transferring a Top-Grade Magic Treasure consumed a lot, leaving him feeling slightly fatigued in his Divine Thought.

But thinking that Youhun had gained a powerful trump card, he felt it was worth it.

Having finished all this, he turned his gaze back to his own Cultivation.

In the Nascent Soul Ninth-tier Realm, his Nascent Soul was identical to his physical body, about nine inches tall.

Its entire body flowed with a warm, jade-like clear light, and its features were distinct.

Around the Nascent Soul, nine faint golden Dao patterns, appearing both real and illusory, flickered, symbolizing his Perfection of the Ninth-tier cultivation.

At this moment, Gu Yan was in no hurry to charge at the Soul Transformation Barrier.

In the way of Cultivation, sometimes fast is slow, and slow is actually fast.

Especially during the leap between major Realms.

Gu Yan silently circulated the secret technique from the Nascent Soul Chapter of the Great Five Elements Reincarnation True Scripture.

This technique emphasized the Foundation and practice, focusing on accumulating strength to release it later.

With a thought, the spiritual power within his Dantian, as vast as a lake, began to circulate.

It did not surge and crash along the established Great Circulation route.

Instead, it turned into countless warm currents as thin as silk.

At an extremely slow speed, it permeated his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Even to every tiny corner of the ends of his Meridians.

This process was like a spring rain, silently nourishing things.

Everywhere each wisp of spiritual power passed, it seemed to be undergoing the most precise cleansing and tempering.

Time quietly slipped away in this almost static Cultivation.

Gu Yan knew well that this kind of seemingly painstaking and slow-progressing Cultivation was actually laying the most solid Dao Foundation for his future Soul Transformation.

Soul Transformation is not just the transformation of the Nascent Soul.

It is also the high-level unification and sublimation of the Three Treasures: Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
