55: Immortal Refining Grimoire

You passed the Great Wilderness Beast God Scripture and the Desolate God Body Forging Technique to your descendants.

This time, you held nothing back.

Furthermore, because the Spiritual Qi in the Great Wilderness Region was thin, your cultivation speed was extremely slow, so you spent most of your time teaching your descendants.

Their cultivation levels increased extremely rapidly.

Year 65.

With the help of the Power of Leadership, your cultivation reached the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Although this was only your first Breakthrough, you believed that your future path would become increasingly smooth.

Year 71.

With the help of the Power of Leadership, your cultivation reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

By this time, everyone in the Su Family had already learned the Cultivation Technique you passed down.

You felt a bit idle.

You began to gather the few remaining cultivation resources in the Great Wilderness Region.

While on your way to collect resources, you passed by a place called Burial Immortal Mountain.

It was rumored that a True Immortal had fallen here.

After an Immortal perished on this mountain, their blood flowed out, giving this place Spiritual Qi far superior to other areas.

However, because this place was too eerie, no Cultivator came here to Cultivate.

You were somewhat skeptical.

After all, the entire Great Wilderness Region did not even have a Golden Core Cultivator; the most that could come to investigate this place would be a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

What could the eeriness spoken of by these people possibly amount to?

You walked into Burial Immortal Mountain, intending to find a place with more abundant Spiritual Qi for the Su Family.

But just then, you felt an inexplicable attraction.

The source of this was somewhat strange.

You could not tell whether your talent was guiding you or if something was attracting you.

After thinking for a moment, since you did not receive any warning from your Crisis Awareness, you ultimately decided to step into Burial Immortal Mountain.

The Spiritual Qi here was quite dense, and as you advanced toward the summit, the Spiritual Qi on Burial Immortal Mountain was sufficient for a Nascent Soul Cultivator to Cultivate.

You stood halfway up the mountain and looked down, discovering that this place was not like the rumors suggested.

It was just an ordinary mountain.

Perhaps it was only because the trees here were rather strange that those low-level Cultivators spread rumors.

But due to the lesson from the Ancient Wood Realm, you decided to test the Spiritual Qi conditions here.

You began to meditate and Cultivate here.

One month later, your body had not changed at all.

In fact, this Spiritual Qi was incredibly pure, far stronger than the Spiritual Qi you used for cultivation in the Great Wu Dynasty.

You destroyed the strange trees here, intending to return home and bring the Su Family members over.

However, just at this moment, a voice reached your ears.

"Young man, stay your steps. Do you know what year and month it is today?"

Facing this sudden voice, you were stunned for a moment, then scanned the surroundings with your Divine Sense, only to discover that the entire mountain was completely empty.

And just then, that voice came again.

You followed the direction of the voice and searched carefully with your Divine Sense, discovering that the one conversing with you was actually a Stone Turtle.

"A Stone Turtle can speak too?"

You were somewhat bewildered.

But then you remembered that this was a Xuanhuan world.

Even Tang Chuan could be reborn with Qi Refining cultivation, so having a talking Stone Turtle seemed reasonable.

You found the Stone Turtle.

Its surface was exceptionally smooth.

Although it appeared to have weathered many years of storms, it was spotless.

You told it that you did not know what year and month it was either.

Because in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World, every Imperial Dynasty had its own units for measuring time.

Upon hearing this, the Stone Turtle was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Then what about Great Azure?"

"Great Azure?"

Countless memories flashed through your mind, but you ultimately discovered that you had absolutely no knowledge of the Great Azure Imperial Dynasty.

You shook your head at the Stone Turtle, indicating that you did not know of this Imperial Dynasty.

"Sigh!" The Stone Turtle let out a heavy sigh and revealed its background.

It turned out that it was once the Great General Xuan Yu of the Great Azure Imperial Court.

And the Great Azure Imperial Court was once the hegemonic power of this world.

However, as time passed, the first Emperor of the Great Azure Imperial Court disappeared without a trace after his Ascension, and more and more forces became dissatisfied with the Great Azure Imperial Court.

Until finally, more than half of the Cultivation World rose up in rebellion, opposing the rule of the Great Azure Imperial Court.

And before it was completely sealed, the Great Azure Imperial Court had already reached a precarious state.

Only the then-Crown Prince Ying Xiao was still leading the Cultivators of the Imperial Court to resist.

But who would have thought that the Great Azure Imperial Court had long since vanished without a trace.

It seemed that Ying Xiao's path to restoring the nation had ultimately failed.

Subsequently, the Stone Turtle asked you again, who was the strongest Cultivator in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World today?

You did not know.

Although you knew the names of many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators from multiple simulations, you knew nothing about who was the strongest.

After all, these people were almost all in closed-door cultivation, and very few people could see them take action personally.

Seeing that you could not answer its question, the Stone Turtle spoke again: "Then do you know why the Eastern Continent Cultivation World is currently the weakest among the nine major Cultivation Worlds?"

You were bewildered.

You felt that this Stone Turtle's brain had been damaged from being sealed for too long; was this the kind of question a Nascent Soul Cultivator like you could answer?

But after hesitating for a moment, you decided not to contradict the Stone Turtle and replied, "This Junior does not know, I ask that Senior clarify."

"This is because the most powerful Dragon vein of the Eastern Continent Cultivation World has been suppressed."

"Among all the past Cultivation Worlds, the Eastern Continent Cultivation World had the most abundant Spiritual Qi, which is why such a powerful force as the Great Azure Imperial Court was born."

"But with the great war that year, the other major Cultivation Worlds, in order to plunge us into an abyss of eternal misery, actually directly suppressed the Dragon vein of the Great Azure Imperial Court."

Upon hearing this, you were somewhat puzzled.

After all, if the Eastern Continent Cultivation World's Dragon vein was truly so powerful, why didn't the people from those other Cultivation Worlds occupy it? Instead, they chose to suppress it?

Seemingly having seen what you were thinking, the Stone Turtle continued: "They could not occupy this Dragon vein because it had long been filled with various violent and mottled Spiritual Qi."

"Only someone with extremely powerful Bloodline Power can rely on the Immortal Refining Demon Scripture to refine this Spiritual Qi!"

"The Great Azure Emperor Ying 𬍡 was such a person, and you are also such a person; even the then-Crown Prince Ying Xiao was three points inferior!"

As the Stone Turtle spoke, a pitch-black book appeared before your eyes.
