Chapter 517: Chapter 516: Elder Fang, Living Fossil, Treasure Selection

This is an open strategy, even more, a move to steal control from the source.

All of you from the Lower Realm, don’t you see the Divine Ruins as your enemy?

Fine, I’ll now offer you a new path to continue your cultivation.

Let’s see if you truly accept it.

It’s fair to say this is already an unsolvable problem.

Considering Ji Haoyuan and their understanding of human nature,

one thing is certain, as time passes, someone will inevitably succumb to temptation and adopt the method offered by the Divine Ruins.

This isn’t something a single person or force can prevent.

Even if they know the Divine Ruins’ method might have issues,

as long as there’s desire in your heart, someone will definitely fall to temptation.

At that time, it’s likely their own ranks will fracture into different factions.

In all likelihood, this is precisely the outcome the Divine Ruins desire to see.

When they considered this, everyone couldn’t help but turn their gaze to the three Mahayana cultivators, Lu Changsheng and others.

Seeking to see if they have devised any strategy to counter this,

and ascertain their stance on the matter.

"Submitting to the Divine Ruins is absolutely impossible."

Lu Changsheng decisively shook his head.

"The reasons for this, I won’t elaborate, you surely understand.

As for the rest..."

Lu Changsheng paused briefly before continuing:

"We’ll just have to wait and see how things unfold."

Clearly, some decisions can’t be made hastily or definitively.

Especially concerning intricate matters.

When you don’t even understand the so-called new method, what countermeasures can you talk about?

Currently, the only thing they can do is to assertively and resolutely express their stance.

As for what might happen afterward, whether anyone might act in secret or do something else, it’s beyond their control.

Even though they are Mahayana cultivators capable of issuing decrees,

they still can’t control everyone.

Moreover, they haven’t planned to do so.

After all, to truly understand or decipher something, you can’t do without some "little white mice" in the process.

These individuals atop this world’s pyramid can’t be overly rigid in certain matters.

Various methods and approaches can be flexibly adjusted when necessary.

Ji Haoyuan and others certainly thought of this point as well.

For a while, some of them felt a bit awed.

Several days later, news arrived.

It’s said that envoys from the Divine Ruins went to Dongyue Peak Sacred Land.

Which is currently one of the weaker holy lands in the Central Earth Divine Continent.

There’s only one Mahayana cultivator presiding over their sect.

By making Dongyue Peak Sacred Land their first visit, they clearly want to use it as a breakthrough point.

It’s uncertain what specific result this will lead to.

At the same time,

Ji Haoyuan also took the Token given by Saint Master Lu Changsheng to the Treasures Tower in the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

There, he once again encountered Elder Fang, whom he saw outside the Little Profound Realm before.

Ji Haoyuan still held considerable respect for Elder Fang.

After greeting him, Ji Haoyuan handed over the Token.

Elder Fang glanced at it, then smiled and nodded at him.

"Young friend, now that you are one of us, there’s no need to be so formal."

Hearing this, Ji Haoyuan shook his head, and with genuine sincerity, said:

"Regardless, Elder Fang, you offered guidance to me back in the day, so in front of you, I am still a junior."

With his current status, he had long learned many past secrets unknown to him before.

Before him, Elder Fang is comparable to a living legend of their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

Although his current cultivation is at the seventh stage, the Harmonization realm,

he had already learned from Master Tianxu and others.

Elder Fang was once not at this realm but at the same realm as the Saint Master and others.

This happened because he once fought multiple Mahayana battles to protect younger generations, resulting in severe injuries.

Among those younger generations was his master, Taixu Bai.

Moreover, there’s another critical reason as it’s said Elder Fang still possesses the ability to unleash peak Mahayana power once.

If he unleashes this power, it’s likely most ordinary Mahayana cultivators could be defeated by him.

Thus, showing respect in front of him is quite appropriate.

Elder Fang clearly appreciated Ji Haoyuan’s attitude.

He smiled and nodded at Ji Haoyuan.

"Nowadays, it’s quite rare for young talents like you, who, having achieved something, remain so humble.

Come now, I’ll lead you to select a treasure.

I assure you, you’ll find something satisfactory."

As he spoke, Elder Fang led Ji Haoyuan into the Treasure Tower.

In an instant, the world shifted with Dao choosing.

Ji Haoyuan found himself standing in a seemingly chaotic void.

Here,

The concept of space seemed lost,

becoming blurry and indistinct.

Countless streaks of light, like meteors, occasionally flashed by from various directions.

Ji Haoyuan immediately keenly realized the fleeting lights before him were rare treasures.

Among them were even several seventh-stage Mystic Treasures.

This profoundly shook him.

He hadn’t expected such an abundance of Mystic Treasures here.

"Do you have a particular treasure in mind?

Or should I gather all these treasures here for you to choose slowly?"

At this moment, Elder Fang smiled and turned to Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan was tempted.

If all those treasures could be gathered before him for close examination, it would undoubtedly make understanding their details easier and more thorough.

Yet, wouldn’t that be too troublesome for Elder Fang?

Ji Haoyuan couldn’t help but reveal a slightly embarrassed expression.

As Elder Fang noticed, he chuckled aloud.

"Young friend, you are here now, so no need for such formalities.

As for us cultivators, choosing our treasures is crucial."

Exactly what Ji Haoyuan was waiting for, Elder Fang’s assurance.

Upon hearing this, he nodded immediately and accepted, "Well then, sorry to trouble Elder Fang."

Elder Fang paused and then chuckled while shaking his head.

Not hesitating any longer,

he raised his hand, and instantly a net enveloped with myriad Dao symbols materialized.

He activated the net and tossed it forward.

Buzz!

A streak of light was instantly captured by the net.

Moments later, a banner circled by green whirlwinds appeared before Ji Haoyuan.

"Oh?

It turns out it’s this item."

Elder Fang looked genuinely astonished, then smiled at Ji Haoyuan:

"Young friend, your luck is considerable.

This banner is named the Eight Desolations Vanquishing Banner, quite a fine Mystic Treasure.

When activated, it conjures the Eight Desolations Divine Wind.

Even a Harmonization Celestial Monarch caught in it will have their Primordial Spirit instantly dissipated."
