Chapter 475: 248. Daoist Foundation Magical Treasure, Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo (Combined Chapters 1 and 2)_4

Especially in the Lower Three Heavens and Middle Three Heavens, whenever Tang Xiaotang broke through a Great Realm, she always took less time, without exception. This remained true until they reached the Upper Three Heavens. After reaching the Upper Three Heavens, it took both of them about twelve years to advance from the Seventh Heavenly Layer to the Eighth Heavenly Layer, and the difference in their pace began to narrow. Looking back, the lower the realm, the greater Tang Xiaotang’s advantage had been; as her realm rose, her advantage diminished.

In a way, Xu Yuanzhen’s cultivation seemed to be getting faster and faster.

Lei Jun, having improved his own Root Bone and comprehension talent more than once, was particularly sensitive to this.

"Speaking of Root Bone Talent, I am not as good as you," Xu Yuanzhen said calmly. "I currently possess a Saintly Physique Aptitude, not an Immortal Body."

Tang Xiaotang let out a chuckle.

Lei Jun heard how Xu Yuanzhen phrased it, and his gaze flickered slightly.

At that moment, Yuan Mobai also looked over, his face showing a rare hint of curiosity.

Xu Yuanzhen remained unperturbed, as if she wasn’t talking about herself. "However, my Comprehension is above yours..."

Her tone was serene.

Tang Xiaotang, however, was not serene. "...Natural?!"

Xu Yuanzhen nodded nonchalantly.

Yuan Mobai clapped his hands in admiration. "Indeed so!"

"It’s commonly said that for Root Bone and Comprehension above the fifth grade, there are three tiers: Spiritual Body, Sacred Body, and Immortal Body for Root Bone; and Extraordinary, Clear Insight, and Serene Insight for Comprehension," Lei Jun said softly. "This is because, although rare, given the vastness of the world and its dense population, one or two such individuals might occasionally appear. However, even higher tiers have not been seen for ages, becoming like myths and legends, making it difficult for people today to discern their truth."

He had only seen such legends mentioned in ancient texts before. They were about the founding Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion. Within those lines, a level of Comprehension above the Tranquil Level was mentioned.

It is called Natural.

Taoist Laws are followed naturally; one is almost self-taught, taking Heaven and Earth as teachers, surpassing even the Tranquil Level’s ability to discern profound truths from subtle signs.

SWOOSH!

Tang Xiaotang stood up, paced back and forth several times in the room, then suddenly stopped, turned, and stared intently at Xu Yuanzhen.

Xu Yuanzhen casually remarked, "Your confidence has taken a hit."

Tang Xiaotang’s eyes widened as she watched Xu Yuanzhen for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter. Her features were already striking, and her smile at this moment was particularly radiant, illuminating the dark room.

"Senior Sister..." Tang Xiaotang’s eyes were brighter than ever, as if golden flames danced in her pupils. "If it weren’t for that old fox in Jinzhou, I’d be itching to spar with you right now!"

Xu Yuanzhen, quite composed, repeated her earlier words, "Then you’ll have to work much harder."

Tang Xiaotang nodded. "Of course, I will!"

With that, she turned, walked out the door, and disappeared.

Lei Jun asked, "...Has Junior Sister gone into seclusion to cultivate?"

Yuan Mobai replied, "It seems so."

Since Tang Xiaotang achieved the Divine Court Realm of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, she had spent most of her recent cultivation time pondering her newly created Divine Faculty Talismans. She had recently paid less attention to advancing her cultivation realm. But now that her Divine Faculty Talismans were taking shape and she had been spurred on by Xu Yuanzhen, she would likely take action soon. This was just her style—decisive and swift.

Xu Yuanzhen, however, seemed indifferent, now contentedly admiring her painting.

Lei Jun looked and saw that the painting captured a dark and stormy scene, devoid of any sunlight.

Senior Sister, you have such a wicked sense of humor.

"Whether Junior Sister was provoked by you, Senior Sister, I can’t say, but I certainly was," Lei Jun shook his head and chuckled. "Allow me to find a place to soothe my wounded spirit."

Yuan Mobai also laughed. "Is Chongyun planning to enter the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven?"

Lei Jun replied, "This disciple plans to visit Biyou Immortal Mountain."

Having advanced to the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm and become a High Merit Elder in the Celestial Master Mansion, Lei Jun could now freely enter and exit the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven. Previously, for disciples within the Celestial Master Mansion, Biyou Immortal Mountain, the core area of the Cave Heaven, was almost a forbidden zone. Now, with the growth of Lei Jun’s Cultivation Strength, he no longer needed others’ protection and could travel to the immortal mountain by himself.

Of course, he had no plans to stay there indefinitely. Firstly, the Celestial Master Mansion was currently short-handed. It wasn’t feasible for only High Merit Elder Yuan Mobai to hold the fort for extended periods, so Lei Jun would assist him. Secondly, Zhuo Baojie had just become his disciple. The upcoming period was crucial for Zhuo Baojie’s cultivation, and Lei Jun, as his master, needed to supervise and guide him.

After bidding farewell to Xu Yuanzhen and Yuan Mobai, Lei Jun arrived high above the Main Peak of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He looked up at the densely packed thunderclouds above, where purple lightning meandered and glinted, and raised his palm. In the center of his palm, radiance converged, manifesting a Talisman.

Thus, the gateway to the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven opened, and Lei Jun’s figure ascended, entering it.

Other areas were largely insignificant to the current Lei Jun, so he bypassed them. He headed straight for the Biyou Immortal Mountain range, the core of the Cave Heaven.

Around the immortal mountain, purple Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was densely concentrated. It was fiercely masculine and scorching, yet simultaneously contained an unfurling Vitality and an aura of annihilation.

Lei Jun strode through the thunderstorm, countless starlights automatically twinkling around his body. They condensed into individual Talisman Scriptures, resembling an endlessly flowing river of stars. The Star River flowed, crossing the ocean of lightning and heading straight for the summit of Biyou Immortal Mountain. Empowered by numerous star Talisman Scriptures, Lei Jun resembled a colossal Star God.

One of the wondrous applications of the Doumu Star God Dharma was that the Talisman Scriptures revolving around his body served for both offense and defense. They neutralized invading forces and, more importantly, could easily utilize the momentum of shifting stars to dissipate and borrow external power, converting it for his own use. Thus, as Lei Jun stood on the mountain peak, he was not only unharmed by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder but was also able to condense and extract wisps of Purple Thunder.

He then took out the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo, which had grown noticeably larger after absorbing the Kui Ox Blood. Stimulated by the surrounding wisps of Purple Thunder, dazzling Thunder Light erupted from the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo. Bolts of lightning intertwined and coiled around each other. In a blink of an eye, a massive net of lightning manifested, with Lei Jun and the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo at its center, coiling and expanding in an endless cycle.

At this moment, Lei Jun took out a large quantity of Mountain God Jade obtained after breaching the Lin Clan’s ancestral grounds in Jiangzhou. The purple thunder roared wildly, quickly smashing all the Mountain God Jade into fine powder. However, the shattered Mountain God Jade did not dissipate; instead, it transformed into luminous dust that still hung in the air above Biyou Immortal Mountain. This luminous dust enveloped Lei Jun, faintly forming an illusory mountain peak. The Biyou Immortal Mountain below seemed to tremble slightly in response. A large amount of Tao Containment condensed into runes, which then emerged.

Lei Jun then sat cross-legged. His Mana split into two streams, one Yin and one Yang, which continuously intertwined and flowed, harmonizing the various surrounding energies. The power of thunder also manifested the pivot of Yin and Yang. Through mutual exchange and supplementation, the Spiritual Power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and the Mountain God Jade, guided by Lei Jun’s control, continuously flowed into the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

An unprecedentedly vigorous Vitality began to burgeon within the bamboo shoot-like Magic Artifact. As time passed, the Golden Bamboo, already refined into a Magic Artifact, seemed to come alive. The bamboo shoot slowly began to change. Starting from its tip, it transformed incrementally. Bit by bit, it unfurled and grew. Eventually, a tall bamboo stalk appeared on the summit of Biyou Immortal Mountain.

Lei Jun smiled. With one hand, he formed a spell sigil before him; with the other, he pointed towards the bamboo stalk in the air. Torrents of lightning and the mountain peak formed from the Spirit Light of the Mountain God Jade were then absorbed into the long bamboo stalk. The dark black bamboo gradually turned azure. The golden light flickering on its surface gradually transformed into a purplish-gold.

Since Lei Jun was alone, he summoned the Celestial Master Seal and drew forth the Nine Abyss True Fire from it. Now, Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire jointly refined this treasure. The Magical Treasure gradually took rudimentary form.

The first Magical Treasure personally crafted by Lei Jun.

A treasure for his Dao Foundation.

Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo!
