Chapter 486: Chapter 274: Cultivating the Ten Extremes Divine Techniques! The Gift from the True Monarch of Yin and Yang!

These are the more pressing matters.

As for these ten divine techniques, they’re just meant to enrich one’s strategies against adversaries.

And they might not even be used.

Because most of the time, one’s Sword Dao can resolve many issues.

...

Half a month later.

As Qi Chuan had already completed his breakthrough and entered regular cultivation, as the Supreme Elder of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he occasionally needed to handle sect affairs.

On this day, within the Myriad Flowers Hall.

Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch sat in the main hall, listening to Sect Leader Zhao Ming’s recent reports on the alliance between the two sects.

After listening, Qingyun True Monarch chuckled, saying, "This Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion sure know their place. As soon as they heard of your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Junior Brother Qi Chuan, they became completely subdued."

"If they can truly remain subdued, it would certainly be a good thing." Qi Chuan nodded slightly.

This reflected his true thoughts. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

If these two sects stayed subdued, he could enjoy some tranquility and avoid many troubles.

"Sect Leader, you must remain constantly vigilant about the movements of those two sects. Their strength is not to be underestimated, and since they are in the same state as us, they can easily affect our Immortal Sect. You must not be complacent due to their temporary submission, lest our sect suffers significant losses." After chuckling, Qingyun True Monarch’s expression turned slightly serious, giving a solemn reminder to Zhao Ming.

"Yes, First Supreme Elder." Zhao Ming responded with a cupped fist, knowing well the weight of dealing with two Nascent Soul Major Sects, he naturally wouldn’t dare be careless.

"Report!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan raised his eyelids, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He knew that the sound outside was that of a reporting disciple.

However, in the current main hall, two Supreme Elders were discussing matters with the Sect Leader.

If it wasn’t a major issue, they could not be disturbed suddenly.

What could be the reason for this report?

"Come in." Qingyun True Monarch also furrowed his brows slightly, saying.

Immediately, a reporting disciple entered from outside the hall, saluting towards the main hall above, then respectfully said, "To report to First Supreme Elder, Second Supreme Elder, Sect Leader, Yin Yang Mansion, upon hearing of our sect’s Second Supreme Elder’s advancement to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, specially presents a gift as a congratulatory gesture!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing these words, Qingyun True Monarch was very surprised, "Such a thing exists?"

Qi Chuan, along with Sect Leader Zhao Ming, also showed expressions of surprise upon hearing these words.

None of the three had expected Yin Yang Mansion to make such a gesture.

Previously, the alliance of Yin Yang Mansion and Cangjian Pavilion had jointly caused trouble for Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Even now, they were still in an alliance. Yet, who knew just after a few days, Yin Yang Mansion’s attitude turned around 180 degrees, even willingly presenting gifts for congratulations?

What was this sudden change in behavior?

"What gift, bring it up." Qingyun True Monarch said.

"Yes."

The reporting disciple immediately brought a tightly sealed Jade Box and placed it upon the Jade Table before Qingyun True Monarch and Qi Chuan.

"Why so mysterious?" Qingyun True Monarch was a bit puzzled.

However, after a divine sense sweep over the Jade Box, finding nothing particularly unusual within, a wave of his hand opened the box with a "snap".

Inside the Jade Box, there was an ancient yellowed paper, looking quite old at first glance.

On this ancient paper, some wavy and crooked lines were drawn, making it look like an old map.

Besides, next to this ancient paper, there was also a Jade Slip.

Qingyun True Monarch picked up the Jade Slip, glanced at it briefly, already understanding a bit, then input a Nascent Soul, making a voice emerge from the Jade Slip.

"This is True Monarch of Yin and Yang, upon hearing of the new advancement of True Monarch Qi Chuan to Nascent Soul Middle Stage in your esteemed sect, I present a humble gift: one Treasure Map, with modest intentions, in hope that the previous unpleasantness can be forgiven."

This voice unmistakably belonged to the True Monarch of Yin and Yang, whom Qi Chuan had heard before.

Qi Chuan felt a bit surprised after hearing this; he hadn’t expected the True Monarch of Yin and Yang not only to present a gift but also to record a voice in the Jade Slip as well—pretty considerate!

After hearing this, Qingyun True Monarch immediately struck out with a blast of mana, shattering the Jade Slip into powder.

Then he frowned, picking up the so-called Treasure Map from the Jade Box—the yellowed, ancient piece of paper.

After glancing at it, Qingyun True Monarch’s frown deepened, and he handed the Treasure Map to Qi Chuan: "It’s a Treasure Map from the Chaotic Demon Sea side, annotated by True Monarch of Yin and Yang, suggesting... that there’s an amazing opportunity to advance to the Great True Monarch Realm at the treasure’s location! He lacks the strength to explore it, hence presents it to us, suggesting that if we acquire any opportunities, we might consider sharing some of it with him."

Hearing this, Qi Chuan was indeed quite intrigued, thus he accepted the Treasure Map for a look, finding it exactly as Qingyun True Monarch described.

"Let me ask you, did Cangjian Pavilion also send a gift?" At this point, Qingyun True Monarch began asking the reporting disciple within the hall.

"Reporting to First Supreme Elder, they did not." The reporting disciple said.

"Alright, you may leave." Qingyun True Monarch waved his hand, dismissing the reporting disciple, then turned to Qi Chuan, saying: "Yin Yang Mansion has allied with Cangjian Pavilion, yet Yin Yang Mansion presents a gift while Cangjian Pavilion does not. Clearly, they’ve communicated and agreed upon something; this Treasure Map likely holds some intrigue that cannot be trusted."

Qi Chuan glanced at Qingyun True Monarch and found the latter watching him.

"Makes sense."

Immediately, Qi Chuan somewhat humorously said, "Certainly, there’s great danger and great crisis hidden within, we cannot trust it, might as well burn the Treasure Map directly to crush True Monarch of Yin and Yang’s malicious ploy!"

Saying so, a crimson flame ignited on his palm, intending to burn the Treasure Map.

"Hey!"

At this sight, Qingyun True Monarch couldn’t help but reach out, as if intending to stop him.

Instead, the crimson flames swayed and flickered, yet emitted no warmth, leaving the Treasure Map unscathed in the fire.

Qi Chuan looked at Qingyun True Monarch with a humorous expression.

"Ahem!"

Seeing this, Qingyun True Monarch coughed and rubbed his nose, saying: "We cannot lightly trust it, yet it’s not impossible to take a look at the site, to see what exactly Yin Yang Mansion and Cangjian Pavilion are scheming. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"Sounds good, actually I’m also quite interested to take a look." Qi Chuan smiled upon hearing this.

After all, this involves an opportunity to advance to the Great True Monarch Realm!

Great True Monarch, the last realm before Divinity Transformation, how many in the world have reached such a cultivation realm?

Which Nascent Soul True Monarch doesn’t desire to enter this realm?

Earlier, Qi Chuan had already seen that Qingyun True Monarch wasn’t one to stay idle.

Previously, he had used the excuse of advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage to suppress some of Qingyun True Monarch’s inner thoughts.

Now, having completed the breakthrough, some of Qingyun True Monarch’s internal ideas should begin to resurface.

Besides, it now relates to the opportunity of the Great True Monarch.

Even though it’s unclear whether it’s true or false, even if it’s fake, before it’s fully verified, it’s enough to make one anxious with anticipation.

With Qingyun True Monarch’s personality, surely he’ll want to see it with his own eyes.

As for Qi Chuan himself, of course, he’s somewhat interested as well.

He aims to reach the Great True Monarch Realm without relying too heavily on top-tier resources, even following a step-by-step cultivation, he’d eventually succeed.

However, if there’s a chance to expedite the process, he certainly wouldn’t mind that either.

Moreover, importantly, he believed that, given the individual strengths of True Monarch of Yin and Yang and Cangjian True Monarch, they couldn’t lay down any means too threatening.

At most, they could utilize some natural forces, which would reveal traces on-site upon detailed inspection.

Thus, there’s no harm in going once.

At worst, he can just take a look, and if it feels off, just leave immediately.
