65: Zhongzhou Xiuxian World

[Afterwards, you asked the Stone Turtle many questions about the Cultivation World of that era.]

[He answered them all one by one, which benefited you greatly.]

[It turned out that in that era, the Cultivation World could be described as a hundred flowers blooming.]

[Although Qi Refining was the mainstream cultivation method at the time, it only accounted for about thirty to forty percent of the total number of Cultivators.]

[Soul Refining, Body Refining, and even Beast Taming, Corpse Driving, Faith, Ghost Cultivation, and Gu Cultivation were all real.]

[And these, which are now called minor paths, were capable of reaching the True Immortal realm back then.]

[The Demonic Path of that time was not despised by everyone as it is today.]

[The Demonic Path of that time was similar to the Corpse Dao, only using the dead to Cultivate.]

[It was only because some people were eager for quick success and killed people when there were no corpses available that the Demonic Path ended up being reviled by everyone.]

[After telling you everything he knew, the Stone Turtle's body began to collapse.]

[He had existed for too, too long.]

[Waking up this time had exhausted all of his remaining strength.]

[However, this time, he passed away very peacefully.]

[He even said one last sentence before completely collapsing.]

["Your Highness, I believe you will definitely be able to rebuild Great Azure!"]

[Hearing this, you were speechless for a long time.]

[After absorbing the Spiritual Qi overflowing from the Dragon Vein, you sat in meditation on the spot and began to learn the Divine Ability.]

[In the eighth year, you successfully learned the Immortal Emperor Heaven Opening Seal, the Myriad Thunder Finger, and the Son of Heaven's Golden Body.]

[These three Divine Abilities were all extremely powerful.]

[You made the Immortal Emperor Heaven Opening Seal your natal Divine Ability.]

[In the ninth year, you visited the Ji Family.]

[Since you had no intention of establishing a Family this time, you did not take Ji Qingxuan with you.]

[You stayed at the Ji Family temporarily, which made all the Cultivators of the Ji Family feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.]

[Three months later, the Great Wu Dynasty began to collapse, and the Ji Family began to migrate towards the core area of the Great Wu Dynasty.]

[You followed far behind Ji Qingxuan's team.]

[Before long, familiar words appeared in your ears again.]

[However, this time, before Chu Han could speak, you grabbed him and directly performed a Soul search.]

[Dan Juezi still wanted to resist, but at this moment, the gap between him and you was like clouds and mud; how could he possibly be your opponent?]

[Soul searching...]

[Soul searching...]

[Familiar memories appeared in your mind. This time, you still did not find out how he managed to restore Dan Juezi to the Undergoing Tribulation realm.]

["It seems this really was his own Opportunity..."]

[You muttered to yourself.]

[However, despite this, you had no intention of letting Chu Han go.]

[Because once he successfully restored Dan Juezi, too many uncontrollable factors would occur.]

[After the Soul search ended, you grabbed Chu Han's body and refined it instantly.]

[Afterwards, you demanded a wisp of Soul power from Dan Juezi without allowing any refusal, and then left the place.]

[The tenth year.]

[The war in the entire Eastern Continent Cultivation World had fully erupted, but at this time, the war had nothing to do with you anymore.]

[This time, you planned to go take a look at other Cultivation Worlds.]

[The road to the Nanyang Cultivation World was the Luanshen Sea, while the road to the Central Continent Cultivation World was the Beast God Mountain Range.]

[It was extremely dangerous here; even a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator could lose their life if they were not careful.]

[Generally speaking, a Soul Transformation Cultivator would never dare to cross this place alone.]

[But you were an exception.]

[With the support of your various talents, not only were you safe all the way, but you also successfully crossed the Myriad Beast Mountain Range in just two years.]

[And during this period, you also encountered many Yao Beasts with good talent.]

[It was just a pity that the Cultivation Technique you were practicing now was the Immortal Refining Demon Scripture, not the Great Wilderness Beast God Scripture.]

[The twelfth year.]

[Having arrived successfully, you began to inquire about the situation in the Central Continent Cultivation World.]

[You discovered that the strength of the Cultivators in the Central Continent Cultivation World was much stronger than those in the Eastern Continent.]

[Even the number of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators on the surface reached forty or fifty.]

[And among these Cultivators, many had already survived multiple Lightning Tribulations, unlike in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World, where there were very few people who had survived even the second Lightning Tribulation.]

[Moreover, the Central Continent Cultivation World was very large; even the Taichu Imperial Court, known as the number one power in the Central Continent Cultivation World, only occupied twenty percent of the land here.]

[After hesitating for a moment, you chose to head to the Taichu Imperial Court to see if you could nip this Gu Xunxian in the bud.]

[In the thirteenth year, you explored all the way and arrived at the Taichu Immortal City.]

[This was the core area of the entire Taichu Imperial Court.]

[Although there were top-tier Spiritual Veins in the city, providing free cultivation for many Cultivators, the monthly entry fee was a significant expense.]

[In order to stay here for a long time, you finally decided to sell the Great Wilderness Palm.]

[This was a Tier 7 Divine Ability; although it corresponded to Void Tempering Cultivators, it was no longer of much help to you.]

[You came to a place called the Su Family Auction House.]

[Because of the same surname, this place made you feel especially close.]

[After you stated your purpose, the owner of the auction house personally welcomed you.]

[He told you that five days later, the Su Family Auction House would happen to hold an auction.]

[If you could put this Tier 7 Divine Ability up for auction then, it would definitely sell for a good price.]

[You agreed to him.]

[And you agreed with him that you would come to the auction five days later.]

[After leaving the auction house, you bought a courtyard.]

[Although the courtyard was not big, it barely counted as a place to stay.]

[You started to stay here temporarily and inquired about the situation of the Taichu Imperial Family.]

[However, the result shocked you.]

[At this time, the Tai Chu Emperor had just ascended to the throne not long ago and surprisingly did not even have a single wife or concubine.]

[You were stunned.]

[If this was the case, didn't that mean Gu Xunxian had not been born yet?]

[If you could intercept Gu Xunxian's mother, would this person not come into this world?]

[You felt like you had discovered a blind spot.]

[But you soon realized something was wrong.]

[Because you did not know who Gu Xunxian's mother was.]

[You didn't even know who the Tai Chu Emperor might marry as Empress in the future.]

[There was no other way; knowing nothing, you could only watch the plot development of the Taichu Imperial Court here, hoping to make changes in the next simulation.]

[Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.]

[The auction began.]

[The person hosting the auction was named Su Qingya, the daughter of the auction house president, Su Yuanbang.]

[This woman's cultivation was extremely high; at only twenty-something years old, she possessed the strength of a Golden Core.]

[Although it was nothing compared to you at twenty-something years old at the fifth level of Soul Transformation, looking at the entire Cultivation World, she was already a rare existence.]
