329: Chapter 329 The Grand Finale

However, the selection of the Sect Master for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was somewhat dramatic.

The Sect Master who took the stage this time belonged to the Family that was the rival of Situ Kong's.

They saw that Situ Kong's Family had been wiped out, and they also saw that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect had not been destroyed in a short period of time.

So they stepped forward and won the support of the majority of Cultivators.

In the end, at a great cost, they exchanged for a nascent soul forming pill from the Treasure Pavilion.

Only then did they successfully give birth to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Because only a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could sit firmly in the position of Sect Master.

Gu Changan didn't care about any of this; he just Cultivated quietly.

He would increase one level every year. When Cultivation became tedious, he would travel around the world to see the sights.

Just like that, ten years passed.

Relying on the accumulation of resources from the treasure gathering basin, Gu Changan reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

The next step would likely be the Soul Transformation Stage.

However, he had no direction on how to advance.

Gu Changan planned to have a chat with the three Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators.

As it turned out, the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and the one from the Northern Alliance both hid and refused to see him.

Only the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Tianji Pavilion put on an expression of being ready to die for a cause.

After Gu Changan explained his purpose, the other party finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the other party stated that they didn't know much either.

To advance to the Soul Transformation Stage, one needs to have certain achievements in a specific Domain.

For example, with fire-attribute Spells, one must reach a level of comprehending certain rules.

The more complete the rules one comprehends after advancing to the Soul Transformation Stage, the greater the power of the Soul Transformation Stage will be.

Gu Changan instantly thought of the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator in front of him; since the other party was a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Tianji Pavilion,

then what they were best at should be Divination!

So the rules they comprehended should be related to Divination!

The rules comprehended by the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect should be related to ghosts.

As for the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Northern Cultivation Alliance, he didn't know what they had comprehended!

Having obtained the answer in his heart, Gu Changan wanted to take his leave.

However, as if having a premonition, he looked toward the Sect Master's main hall of the Tianji Pavilion from afar.

There seemed to be an exceptionally large Opportunity for him there, but he just didn't know what it was.

Gu Changan now had nothing to fear, so under the surprised gaze of the other party's Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator,

he directly entered the other party's Sect Master's main hall.

His gaze locked directly onto the Sect Master of the Tianji Pavilion.

At this moment, Gu Changan could be certain that the Tianji Pavilion Sect Master before him had some connection with his treasure gathering basin.

Since it concerned his Golden Finger, it was impossible for him to let it go easily.

He directly took action to capture him.

However, to prevent the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Tianji Pavilion from acting, he also remained secretly on guard against the other party.

As it turned out, the other party only showed a bitter smile and did not step forward to stop him.

It seemed the other party's attainment in Cultivating the rules of Divination was very deep.

Knowing he couldn't stop him, he could only comply with him!

Gu Changan began to perform a Soul search on the Sect Master of the Tianji Pavilion.

In this way, everything came to light!

It turned out that the Sect Master of the Tianji Pavilion was the artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin, and moreover, just a sliver of the artifact spirit.

This sliver of artifact spirit had performed a Possession on the Sect Master of the Tianji Pavilion, passing down the Legacy for over a thousand years.

Generation after generation of Sect Masters had been possessed by him.

He then performed a Fusion of the memories of over a dozen generations of Sect Masters.

As for the main artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin, it was still suppressed under a Bronze Stele in the back mountain of the Tianji Pavilion.

Gu Changan's heart grew fervent, but he still looked toward the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Tianji Pavilion beside him.

"Your sect's back mountain is suppressing something of mine!"

"You won't object if I take it away, will you?"

The Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Tianji Pavilion simply did not dare to offend Gu Changan; he could only shake his head with a bitter smile and silently retreat, standing far away.

Gu Changan gave him a look that said 'you are very sensible.'

Then he went to the back mountain of the Tianji Pavilion and directly destroyed the Formation of the Bronze Stele.

As for the Bronze Stele, Gu Changan naturally put it away as well.

After all, this was something capable of suppressing the artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin.

There was no need to say more about what level of treasure the treasure gathering basin was.

The existence that could suppress its artifact spirit was either a treasure of the same level or not much worse!

Gu Changan judged it to be either a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure or an Innate Spirit Treasure.

But an Innate Spirit Treasure was probably unlikely!

A Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure was the most likely possibility.

Gu Changan observed the Treasure Qi on it; it was actually a purple Treasure Artifact? An Innate Spirit Treasure?

Gu Changan was overjoyed. He tried to put it into the treasure gathering basin, but he actually couldn't put it in?

Gu Changan could only briefly refine it and take it into his Sea of Consciousness.

As for beneath the Bronze Stele, an entity identical to the treasure gathering basin's main body directly flew out.

This was presumably the artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin.

But how could Gu Changan allow it to merge with the treasure gathering basin?

If they merged, who would the treasure gathering basin listen to then?

Just looking at the character of this artifact spirit and the situation with the Sect Master of the Tianji Pavilion, one could tell what the situation was!

A mere sliver of the artifact spirit had caused such a big mess!

Gu Changan didn't dare to delay; he directly used Xiao Lei's Soul Transformation Stage lightning energy to bind it in the center.

He began to use the Soul energy of over 70 Ghost Kings from the supreme grade ten thousand souls banner to constantly wash over the artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin.

He bit by bit erased the sentience of its artifact spirit.

After all, even that sliver of the treasure gathering basin's artifact spirit could possess the Sect Master of the Tianji Pavilion and cause so many things.

Let alone the entire artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin.

Only when all sentience was erased would Gu Changan dare to feel at ease.

Just like that, after seven times seven, forty-nine days of refinement, the sentience of the treasure gathering basin's artifact spirit was erased, leaving only the purest memories and instinctive control.

Gu Changan had the 70-plus Ghost Kings guard the perimeter, and Sugar Bean released a Blood Refining Formation to protect his body.

The Sword Pill Soul Slasher swayed beside him.

Only then did Gu Changan feel some sense of security, and he slowly let the treasure gathering basin and its artifact spirit merge together.

As a result, the multi-colored light emitted shot straight into the sky, directly telling the entire Cultivation world that there was a supreme treasure here.

But Gu Changan wasn't worried at all, because he was now considered one of the top powers in the world.

Not to mention there was also the Soul Transformation Stage Xiao Lei standing right here.

And in the distance, there was the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Tianji Pavilion.

In a place where two Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators were present, who would dare to come?

Most Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, sensing the pressure of the Soul Transformation Stage,

could only start observing from a distance.

On Gu Changan's side, his heart was greatly shaken; the artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin and the main body of the treasure gathering basin had merged.

The treasure gathering basin underwent a huge change.

Gu Changan's Divine Soul was pulled into a massive space.

There were various elements here: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Time, and Space!

Gu Changan suddenly understood why the treasure gathering basin could replicate everything.

Because it originally contained all elemental rules!

Not to mention the elements before him should be the rules themselves.

As long as Gu Changan understood and became familiar with the elemental rules before him, he could become the strongest Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.

At that time, wouldn't Ascension be as easy as grasping with his hand?

He could casually build an Ascension passage himself!

Then Ascension would not be an urgent need for him.

Because in this Cultivation world, he was invincible!

He could just lay low and slowly grow stronger, mastering these ten types of rules one by one.

Then after the Soul Transformation Stage, even if he ascended, he would be the strongest within the same rank!

After putting away the treasure gathering basin, Gu Changan bid farewell to the Soul Transformation Old Ancestor of the Tianji Pavilion.

He needed to find a place for long-term secluded meditation.

To carefully comprehend these ten rules, and of course, to find some Medicinal Pills that could improve Comprehension Ability or understanding.

Currently, these matters all fell upon the Shadow Dust Pavilion.

Gu Changan thus began his secluded meditation.

Gu Changan's presence no longer existed in the world; there were only legends of Gu Changan.

Legend had it that there still existed a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator in the world, and he was the number one person in the current Cultivation world!

Of course, another organization rose in the world, called the Shadow Dust Pavilion!

The Shadow Dust Pavilion did not control any organization or power in the world!

But within any organization, there were the figures of Shadow Dust Pavilion Cultivators.

It seemed like the Cultivation world was not unified!

But in reality, it seemed the Cultivation world had been unified once again!
