Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 394 - 226. Pure Yin Immortal Body_2

Tang Xiaotang’s spirits lifted. "Master, you think so too?"

Lei Jun reminded from the side, "Junior Sister, the reason Master’s words cause skepticism is partly because of the other families among the Four Great Surnames and Six Esteemed Houses. On the other hand, it refers to the mysterious person who initially attacked the previous Sect Leader and later tried to snatch the Celestial Master Robe."

Tang Xiaotang puffed up her cheeks habitually. "That person... although his cultivation and strength are not bad, he’s sneaky and irritating. If it weren’t for him, the Celestial Master Robe wouldn’t have been lost in the first place!"

The opponent had also once used a Yin Moon Soul Stone on her, which made Tang Xiaotang even more infuriated whenever she recalled it.

However, her temper flared up and subsided quickly, and her thoughts swiftly turned to something else as she looked at Lei Jun. "By the way, about the Celestial Master Robe, did you make any new discoveries on your trip to the Southern Wilderness this time?"

Lei Jun said, "There are indeed new findings, but unfortunately, they are still not enough to retrieve the robe itself."

He showed Tang Xiaotang the Celestial Master Seal that had been revived and the dual-integrated Nine-colored Radiance.

Tang Xiaotang stood up. "Come, let’s go to the Rear Mountain Ancestral Tomb and the Altar of Wanfa Sect."

Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai naturally had no objections, following Tang Xiaotang out of the Celestial Master Hall.

「The three of them first arrived at the forbidden area of the Rear Mountain Ancestral Tomb.」

The Celestial Master Seal, although it was considered returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Ancestral Court before, was now truly awakened and cleansed of impurities, which was definitely a joyous event to comfort the spirits of the ancestors. At the same time, Lei Jun and the others also tried to appeal to the Rear Mountain Ancestral Tomb in hopes of further aid in the search for the Celestial Master’s Robe.

「After that, they proceeded to the Altar of Wanfa Sect, with the same goal in mind.」

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the Celestial Master’s Robe remained elusive, and Lei Jun and the others were still clueless.

Celestial Master Tang muttered to himself as they left the Altar of Wanfa Sect, "Could it be that another battle is necessary at the Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Ancestral Court?"

"We should avoid it if we can," Yuan Mobai glanced at Lei Jun, "so we don’t lose something else."

Lei Jun said, "Master, your words and look scare me and chill my heart."

He was now essentially bound to the Celestial Master Seal...

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on both you and the Celestial Master’s Sword on this trip," Tang Xiaotang reassured with a wave of her hand.

Her tone was as if she was certain that another disaster was inevitable, which did not comfort Lei Jun at all.

"It’s indeed strange for the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures to be lost one after another," Tang Xiaotang mumbled.

Lei Jun said, "Let’s talk about something more cheerful. It’s been many years since Mount Shu Sect was able to recover the Ziwei Sword, hasn’t it?"

When others were also unfortunate, one’s own misfortune didn’t seem so bad...

"Chongyun, show some decency," Yuan Mobai shook his head.

Tang Xiaotang then propped her chin with her finger. "That’s true indeed. The time it’s been lost is almost catching up with Our Sect’s initial loss of the Celestial Master Seal."

The Celestial Master’s Sword had already been recovered, and the Celestial Master’s Robe had been missing for less than ten years. As for the Celestial Master Seal, the time span from when it was lost until Lei Jun found it was indeed lengthy.

In regards to this, Dragon Tiger Mountain’s counterpart in misfortune was another Taoist Holy Land, the Mount Shu Sect. Mount Shu was a Daoist Alchemy Sect Holy Land, where everyone cultivated life-bound Magical Artifacts. Because Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures are intimately connected to the life of the cultivators, when a disciple of the Daoist Alchemy Sect perished, their Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures mostly perished with them.

From ancient times to the present, only a very few exceptionally special and powerful top-tier Magical Treasures have managed to survive after their owner’s death, ultimately becoming the Mount Shu Sect’s treasures of protection. At this point, it must be mentioned that Mount Shu Sect, worthy of its reputation as a Daoist Alchemy Sect Holy Land, has had a vast number of Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures crafted by successive generations. Despite many being destroyed, six top-tier Magical Treasures have remained, collectively known as the Six Harmonies Treasure.

Among them, the Eastern and Western treasures are hailed as the strongest two Flying Swords that Mount Shu has retained to this day. One is named Ziwei, and the other is named Blue Abyss; therefore, they are collectively referred to as the Purple Azure Twin Swords.

However, of the two great Flying Swords, the Ziwei Sword had been lost and has not been found to date. This remains a cause for regret among the Mount Shu Sect. Whenever a new disciple joins, the elders and fellow senior disciples earnestly caution them to be vigilant while traveling outside, in hopes of finding the Ziwei Sword.

"May Mount Shu soon recover the Ziwei Sword, and may Our Sect soon find the Celestial Master’s Robe," Lei Jun gave a Taoist bow.

He then turned to Tang Xiaotang and asked, "Junior Sister, although I cannot summon the Celestial Master Seal right now, I’m able to study the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans. What do you think?"

Tang Xiaotang said, "That sounds good, let me have a look."

However, she wasn’t aiming to cultivate the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder but to use them as a reference to further ponder her own creation of Pure Yang Immortal Thunder. Speaking of which, she was even more interested in the change in Lei Jun’s Comprehension than in the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans themselves.

"How do you feel about Serene Comprehension?" Tang Xiaotang asked with a smile.

Lei Jun expressed his feelings, "Junior Sister, I can finally feel a part of the happiness you experienced before."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaotang burst into laughter, unable to contain her joy. After she had laughed, she looked Lei Jun up and down without stopping, clicking her tongue and saying, "They say one’s Root Bone and Comprehension are innate, and the chance to improve them later in life is slim to none, a rarity throughout history. But for you, it’s as easy as eating candy."

Lei Jun replied, "It’s all down to luck, but it’s not at all simple."

Tang Xiaotang asked curiously, "Next, might you suddenly go from a Sacred Body to an Immortal Body?"

Lei Jun said, "If I could, of course, I would love to experience the full joy you have, Junior Sister. But such things can’t be forced. One can only go with the flow and find peace in whatever comes."

"This trip to the Southern Wilderness has brought me some gains; henceforth I’ll need to go into seclusion for a period of time," Yuan Mobai declared. "The Crown Prince’s visit to the mountain is no small matter, but as long as Our Sect maintains its resolve not to get involved in imperial family affairs, there should be no great trouble."

The Crown Prince seemed to be engrossed in poetry and painting, but his current departure from the capital and travels brought a subtle effect on the perceptions of others.

Tang Xiaotang waved her hand. "Master, you go ahead and don’t worry."

「With Yuan Mobai in seclusion, Lei Jun returned to the Edict Hall to continue his duties.」

Fortunately, it was peaceful there. Even though he, the Managing Elder, had been absent for many days, it did not matter much. Lei Jun sorted out the gains from his trip to the Southern Wilderness. In the following days, he would delve into the mysteries of the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans with Tang Xiaotang and continue his own cultivation.

After further improvement in Comprehension, once again researching Taoist Laws with Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun slowly began to keep up with her train of thought. Though, due to his current level of cultivation, most of the time it was still Tang Xiaotang talking and him listening.

However, after this period of accumulation, besides solidifying his acquired knowledge into his Tao Seal, another self-created talismanic art he was developing was gradually perfected and could preliminarily be considered complete. This self-created talismanic art would also become Lei Jun’s life-bound Third Law. Ever since he reached the Dao Mark Realm and left a spot vacant, Lei Jun now began to formally fill it.

This law, born from the High-grade Spirit Talisman, the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman of the Celestial Master Mansion, combined with Lei Jun’s self-invented Dual Polarity Yuan Magnetism Spell and the artistic conception and spiritual power of the Heavenly Eye Mirror, finally took shape.

Named, Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman.

Lei Jun refined the Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman into his life-bound Third Law and then continued to research and refine it further. Completely engrossed, he did not feel time flying by.

「Elder Lei focused on his cultivation, undisturbed by the chaos of the outside world, with only a few pieces of news catching his attention.」

Crown Prince Zhang Hui left the Pure Yang Palace, choosing to make his way from Guanlong to Mount Shu for his second stop, and continued to tour Mount Shu. He put the Celestial Master Mansion, one of the three great Holy Lands of the Taoist Sect, last on his itinerary.

As Yuan Mobai had put it, "You can have a thousand reasons, but I have my own firm idea." Consequently, Lei Jun didn’t pay much mind to the Crown Prince’s itinerary.

However, Zhang Hui’s visit to the Pure Yang Palace brought out a piece of news that attracted the attention of many outsiders, including Lei Jun.

He looked at Tang Xiaotang with a slightly odd expression and asked, "The Pure Yang Palace has produced a rising star with an Immortal Root Bone... a Pure Yin Body?"

Tang Xiaotang waved her hand. "She has been accepted into the sect for a while now, but she had been kept hidden until recently when it finally leaked out."

Lei Jun was unusually at a loss for words. This truly was black humor.

Well, it only sounded like black humor. Given the heritage of the Pure Yang Palace, a Holy Land of the Taoist Alchemy Cauldron Sect, there were surely ways to avoid delaying that favored daughter of heaven.

"Anyway, she certainly can’t compare to me," Tang Xiaotang said proudly. "She’s still at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, but the time she’s spent since her initiation has already surpassed the time it took me to reach the Seventh Heavenly Layer."

Lei Jun nodded. "I wonder how her Comprehension is."

It was normal for a certain young Celestial Master surnamed Tang to feel proud; even when compared to historically recorded geniuses with an Immortal Root Bone and Serene Comprehension, her speed of cultivation advancement was considered fast.

"Are people like her and me destined to be sworn enemies, as the stories you’ve told me suggest?" Tang Xiaotang scoffed.

Lei Jun glanced at her. "Or perhaps, they could be a couple, in that classic ’love and kill each other’ dynamic you hear about..."

Tang Xiaotang was taken aback. "Didn’t I make it clear just now? She’s a young girl."

Lei Jun said, "In some stories, these matters, gender isn’t such a strict limitation."

Tang Xiaotang’s eyes widened, but her gaze was unfocused.
