Upon opening the treasure chest, Lu Xuanji looked inside.
He reflected that the Pure Yang Daoist Monarch had considered everything a successor might need.
Unfortunately, some things were beyond his expectations too.
Clearing his mind, Lu Xuanji consumed the Qi Fortune Fruit. As he swallowed it, he felt a cool sensation, as if eating strawberries, with a hint of grassy flavor.
Lu Xuanji closed his eyes to digest, and at that moment, his head seemed to glow with the light of destiny, which transformed into an orange hue, with a touch of purple at the center.
Gurgle!
As the Qi Fortune Fruit was digested, the destiny within him boiled away, constantly increasing, changing from orange to yellow, then green, cyan, blue, and finally violet.
The violet destiny swirled above his head like a purple sun, radiating scorching light, seemingly blinding.
Buzz!
With his destiny turning violet, Lu Xuanji felt as though he had bee the beloved child of the heavens.
Venturing out, he would encounter various fortuitous encounters, win the favor of beautiful women, and receive help from benefactors. Even when facing danger or powerful enemies, he would turn peril into safety. With his destiny turned violet, he seemed like a treasure trove, naturally attracting treasures and mystical encounters.
His future luck improved.
Lu Xuanji operated the Storage Technique, concealing his destiny, which shifted back to orange, appearing ordinary once more.
This ordinary appearance brought a sense of security.
Next, he opened the Pure Yang Scripture, which described awakening and strengthening the Pure Yang Dao Body, how to maximize its potential, and the manifestations and lifebound divine techniques associated with it, all of which were newly described.
Reading through the scripture, Lu Xuanji had a moment of enlightenment.
So, this is how the power of the Pure Yang Dao Body can be fully harnessed.
In exploring its potential, he had not even tapped into a tenth of its power.
"There’s no invincible constitution, only invincible cultivators. Because those invincible cultivators rely on their own prehension, they endlessly ponder and fully develop a constitution to its extreme, wielding terrifying power. Conversely, some constitutions haven’t produced mighty cultivators capable of adequately developing them, leading to their potential being unfulfilled!"
He closed the scripture and picked up the Pure Yang Order, performing a blood-bonding ritual.
With the Pure Yang Order, he could join Sword Island, receive training, and gain the acknowledgment of the Pure Yang Sword Spirit to bee his guardian.
Unfortunately, Sword Island had been destroyed, and could no longer be relied upon.
At its peak, the Pure Yang Sword Spirit was parable to a Harmonization powerhouse, providing protection that made survival almost certain as long as one didn’t court death.
Sadly, the Pure Yang Sword had been wounded grievously, its spirit severely injured, and had recently failed to possess someone, ultimately being devoured and refined by him. Thus, the so-called guardian was no more.
Holding the Pure Yang Order, he sensed the aura within, capable of withstanding three attacks for survival.
He then placed the Pure Yang Order into his Dantian.
Finally, he picked up the marriage contract, which contained about five hundred words detailing the marriage agreement.
Originally, the Pure Yang Daoist Monarch and the Dragon Monarch had made a bet, which the Pure Yang Daoist Monarch lost, agreeing that his successor would marry the Dragon Palace Princess as a Dao panion, resulting in this marriage contract.
Briefly reviewing it, he stored it in his Storage Bag.
Reviewing his gains, he found half a Pure Yang Sword and a treasure chest made from Dao Tribulation Gold, with only a few items, but each was of exceptional quality.
Leaving the subspace, he moved to the teleportation array location and began setting up the teleportation gate.
He hadn’t known how to set up teleportation gates before, but the Pure Yang Sword Spirit’s memory contained specific methods, and the difficulty was minimal.
In just three days, the construction was pleted.
As a streak of light, Lu Xuanji vanished.
Swipe!
Opening his eyes again, feeling the sun in the sky, Lu Xuanji laughed joyfully.
He then opened Baidu Map to confirm his position, finding himself about three hundred miles from Purple Sun Mountain.
He stood up and proceeded towards Purple Sun Mountain.
"You’re back!"
Upon reaching Purple Sun Mountain, Qing Lian looked at him and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I greet the ancestor. I almost died in that secret realm, but I also gained some rewards!" Lu Xuanji said with a smile.
"Did you find any spirit medicine inside that could cure my true self?" Qing Lian asked.
"No!"
Lu Xuanji replied.
"Without it, it seems my true self is doomed to perish!" Qing Lian said with a touch of sadness.
"Not necessarily!" Lu Xuanji smiled and said, "Although I didn’t find any spirit medicine, I did find the plete Yin Yang Sword Technique while looking for a cure for Golden Dawn Ancestor. Its descriptions are clearer. As for why Golden Dawn Ancestor failed at the Ninth Transformation, it was due to the absence of one crucial element!"
Qing Lian asked, "What element?"
Lu Xuanji replied, "Immortal Gold!"
"What does Immortal Gold have to do with the Nine Transformation Golden Core?" Qing Lian inquired.
"While the Eighth Transformation can be done without, the Ninth Transformation requires consuming the Immortal Gold, integrating it into the Golden Core to stabilize the transformation. But evidently, Golden Dawn Ancestor was not aware of this mon knowledge, leading to a half-failure... Thankfully, there is still a chance to save him thanks to a senior’s sealing!"
Lu Xuanji explained, "As for the Ninth Transformation, consuming Immortal Gold is mon knowledge. Since it’s mon knowledge, it’s not recorded in the secret manual."
"Because it’s mon knowledge, it’s not recorded. No wonder my Jin Family didn’t know!"
Qing Lian smiled bitterly, "The Lu Family prides itself on being a noble house, but in the eyes of those top sects, we’re nothing but bumpkins, newly rich folk!"
In the Barbaric Lands of the Southeast, Qing Lian felt a sense of superiority in front of Chu Country’s three great sects, as the Jin Family was a noble house from Central State that produced a Divinity Transformation cultivator. But to ancient powers like the Feathered Transformation Sect and Sword Island, the Jin Family was just a rural bumpkin.
For many Sword Island cultivators, what was mon knowledge was nearly secret lore to the Jin Family.
"But this is Immortal Gold, even those ancient sects have limited amounts!"
Qing Lian remarked.
"Fortunately, I found fragments of Immortal Gold there, ground them into powder, which can help Ancestor Golden break through the Golden Core!" Lu Xuanji chuckled, taking out a small bottle and handing it over.
The bottle contained golden powder, about ten grams.
Receiving the bottle and sensing the aura within, though it appeared to be ordinary metal on the outside, Qing Lian had no doubt, as there was no point in deceiving her.
"This is ten grams of Immortal Gold!" Qing Lian said, holding the bottle. "In the market of Central State, one gram of Immortal Gold is worth a thousand top-grade spirit stones, yet it’s priceless. A Divinity Transformation cultivator’s lifetime savings may not reach a thousand top-grade spirit stones. Now I understand why ordinary cultivators can’t coalesce the Nine Transformation Golden Core—either they lack money or they lack Immortal Gold!"
"These ten grams of Immortal Gold hold immense value."
"Even selling myself wouldn’t be worth a gram of Immortal Gold. How can I possibly repay you?"
