356: Pure Yang Immortal Seed, a way to break through the upper limit of heaven and earth

The thirteenth floor, in the desert.

The ancient hall, half-buried in the sand, emitted profound sounds.

“Little friend, this Physique of yours…”

“Hmm?”

Chu Jiang looked at the half-ruined ancient hall. A metal man, covered in rust, appeared before him.

“Senior, what is your esteemed name? Is there something wrong with my Physique?”

The metal man's expression changed, and he said, “I am the True Spirit of the Trial Tower. You may call me Shanjun!”

“You possess several Physiques. Perhaps I was mistaken just now!”

That's right.

How could that kind of Physique descend upon this world?

“Hmm!” Chu Jiang did not delve deeper into this question and continued, “Senior Shanjun, is this the thirteenth floor? Are there any other trials?”

Moreover, he had passed the twelfth floor but hadn't triggered any rewards.

“No. Your ability to pass the first twelve floors has already proven your peerless talent. In this era, I have waited for thousands of years, and you are the second!”

The metal man slowly said.

“This era? Are there other eras? Who was the first?”

Chu Jiang asked.

The metal man said, “This Trial Tower has appeared in different eras and belonged to different forces.”

“The Hundred Nations' Struggle, the Great Qin's unification, and then your Great Chu Dynasty!”

“In this era, the first was Yuan Shouyi, and the second is you.”

The Hundred Nations' Struggle, Great Qin, Great Chu—this Trial Tower spans at least three Dynasties. Doesn't this mean that this metal man has lived for at least ten thousand years?

“Senior Shanjun, you transmitted me here. What do you wish to say?” Chu Jiang went straight to the point.

The metal man said, “Become a Legacy Saint of my Pure Yang Sect, and I can also help you Breakthrough the Heaven And Earth limit!”

“Oh?” Chu Jiang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he raised an eyebrow. This metal man said he was the second person.

Clearly, Yuan Shouyi had also met him, and evidently rejected the metal man.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn.

“There is no free lunch in this world. What does Senior wish for?”

Chu Jiang said in a deep voice.

The metal man smiled faintly and said, “This truly is a free lunch. The Pure Yang Sect was a Great Sect in ancient times. The Sect was suddenly destroyed, and I received orders from the Ancestral Master to invest in the Prodigies of the Human Race in the years to come.”

“You are not the first batch. Before you, I have already invested in more than ten people.”

“I am only responsible for executing the Ancestral Master's orders. As for why, I am not clear either.”

Chu Jiang asked, “Then why didn't Yuan Siming accept this Legacy? If he had agreed, wouldn't he have been able to Breakthrough to the Rongtian Realm earlier?”

The metal man calmly said, “He calculated that a thousand years later, a second person would come to the thirteenth floor.”

“Your Heaven And Earth is not peaceful. The ancestral 脈 has been invaded, devils run rampant, powerful factions are everywhere, and crises abound. Therefore, he left the Opportunity to you!”

“He is indeed a Prodigy. Without any external help, he broke the Heaven And Earth limitations and successfully made a Breakthrough!”

“Even if he failed during the confrontation and perished midway, he still left an Opportunity for a comeback for the future!”

Chu Jiang understood. A thousand years ago, Yuan Shouyi could have inherited the Legacy of the Pure Yang Sect and Breakthrough to Rongtian.

But he refused, choosing instead to Breakthrough with his own strength.

He left the Opportunity for future generations.

If he unexpectedly perished, the Demon Suppression Division would still have a chance to turn the tide.

A second Rongtian Realm expert could extend the Great Chu's lifespan for a period.

This was a great righteousness.

Chu Jiang questioned himself, admitting that he certainly couldn't have done it—an Opportunity before him, yet he refused it, leaving it to future generations.

For such a person, he, Chu, could only feel admiration.

“Alright, I accept!”

Chu Jiang nodded.

The metal man smiled, opened his chest, extended a mechanical box, and a hazy ball of light appeared.

“Senior Shanjun, this is…”

Chu Jiang's face showed a strange expression.

When this ball of light appeared, an extreme Pure Yang Qi swept across the entire desert.

It was even more majestic than True Phoenix Blood.

It was definitely a top-tier treasure.

The metal man said, “This is a Pure Yang Immortal Seed unique to my Pure Yang Sect. It possesses myriad wonders. Even in ancient times, countless people sought one but could not obtain it. After ten thousand years, only the last one remains!”

“It can allow you to Breakthrough the shackles under Heaven And Earth limitations and advance to Rongtian!”

“Pure Yang Immortal Seed?”

Chu Jiang's eyes lit up. In ancient times, seeds held many mysteries. They could increase the probability of advancing to Rongtian, greatly boosting combat power, and were divided into ordinary seeds, spirit seeds, and special spirit seeds.

Ordinary seeds had minimal effects.

Now that Heaven And Earth was suppressed, even special spirit seeds might not be useful.

Only Immortal Seeds.

Anything that could be called an Immortal Seed was definitely a rare treasure.

In the present day, it was a treasure valuable enough to make countless transcendent Great Sects fight over it frantically.

“This Pure Yang Immortal Seed needs to be planted in your sea of magic power and slowly nourished. The day it blossoms into a Pure Yang Flower is when you will advance to Rongtian.”

“The Pure Yang Immortal Seed can refine Heaven And Earth Treasures to accelerate your Cultivation progress. Fire-attributed ultimate Yang objects are best!”

The metal man reminded him.

Chu Jiang took the Pure Yang Immortal Seed and nodded slightly.

As long as there was a way to advance to a higher Realm, this was not a problem.

“Oh, right. After you fuse with the Pure Yang Immortal Seed, there's a drawback!” The metal man seemed to remember something and said.

“A drawback?”

Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow.

“Once fused, your body will become a coveted prize, similar to a woman's Absolute Yin Physique. It will have a fatal attraction to women and will be targeted by powerful female cultivators!”

The metal man coughed dryly and said.

“There's such a good thing?”

Chu Jiang said with a strange expression. He thought it was some fatal factor. What kind of drawback was attracting women?

“You'll understand slowly in the future…”

The metal man shook his head and remained silent. Chu Jiang was still too young and had never experienced being captured by a powerful female cultivator to be used as a Cauldron, drained completely, and wishing for death.

Back then, a certain unlucky Prodigy of his Pure Yang Sect was captured by an peerless female Devil Head and used for three years straight.

When he returned, he was completely crippled. His Pure Yang Physique had turned into Pure Yin, and there was not a trace of Yang Qi in his body.

“Senior, are there any treasures left on the twelfth floor?”

Chu Jiang put away the Pure Yang Immortal Seed and continued to ask.

Metal man: “You've already taken the most precious thing in the Trial Tower. Do you still want treasures…”

Chu Jiang: “It's not that I'm coveting Senior's treasures, but I have OCD. The first nine floors all had treasures, and suddenly the twelfth floor has none. It feels empty…”

The metal man looked at Chu Jiang's figure and suddenly felt a little regretful. Should he not have given him the Pure Yang Immortal Seed?

However, Chu Jiang was the second person in thousands of years. He had no choice. If this world was eroded and destroyed, he would have no future either.

Just then.

With a wave of the metal man's hand, more than a dozen balls of light burst from his body.

“That's all. You are the last Saint of my Pure Yang Sect. Just pick three!”

The metal man generously said.

If the Heaven And Earth limit could not be broken, and the Demon King returned, Chu Jiang would indeed be the last Legacy Saint of his Pure Yang Sect, although this Saint was just a bare commander.

All kinds of treasures, dazzling array.

Medium Grade Magic Treasures, and even High Grade Magic Treasures were present.

There were also Formations, Heaven And Earth Treasures, Medicinal Pills, high-level Puppets, and so on…

Chu Jiang ultimately chose three.

A sixth-grade Water Spirit Orb.

The Grand Capital Formation, capable of resisting attacks from a Rongtian one-layered expert.

A High Grade Magic Treasure, the Heavenly Net Umbrella.

“Senior, farewell!”

Chu Jiang cupped his hands, preparing to leave.

“Wait!”

The metal man hesitated but still spoke, handing Chu Jiang a white jade compass.

“This is a Bloodline compass for detecting descendants of the Pure Yang Sect. If you meet any in the future, please look after them, if any descendants still exist!”

This was not in his orders, but having served the Pure Yang Sect for ten thousand years, even as a machine created by the Pure Yang Sect, he had his own thoughts and emotions.

“No problem!”

Chu Jiang said with a faint smile. Not to mention that he was already a Saint of the Pure Yang Sect, even if he was the only one, with just this one Pure Yang Immortal Seed, he had no reason to refuse.

It was an easy task.

With that said.

A pillar of light enveloped him, and Chu Jiang disappeared from the thirteenth-floor space, heading to the outside world…
