Chapter 895: Chapter 901: Thank You Gift
Dao Tong had successfully transcended the Ascension Tribulation, and suddenly, a Spirit Light descended from the heavens.
In an instant, celestial energy permeated the air, flowers fell chaotically from the sky, and Earth Spring Golden Lotuses surged upward; a mysterious and profound Taiji Golden Bridge, connecting two realms, appeared beneath Dao Tong’s feet.
Dao Tong stepped forward, ascending into the guided celestial light.
As Dao Tong reached the middle of the bridge, he released two beams of Spirit Light from his hand—one fell into the hands of Zhirui, and the other into Grand Peak’s.
"This gratitude, I hope you will accept it and not decline," he said.
Dao Tong’s hearty laughter echoed through the air, "Fellow Daoist, let’s meet again in the Upper Realm!"
The laughter reverberated for a long time.
The surrounding Nascent Soul Cultivators looked curiously at the Jade Slip in Zhirui’s hand, guessing its contents.
"Since it’s a gift from Dao Tong, young friend, you should accept it," Grand Peak joked, "Even if you wanted to refuse, you couldn’t find Dao Tong now."
With Grand Peak’s words, no one else could ask for the Jade Slip from Zhirui’s hands.
"Then this junior shall respectfully obey!" Zhirui bowed slightly and securely stored the Jade Slip.
As the thunder from the tribulation dissipated, the crowd naturally dispersed.
Zhirui then approached Zhen Yunzi and said, "Please escort me out of the sect gates, Fellow Daoist. Having been away from home for many days, I must hurry back."
"Why not stay a few more days in the sect to digest what you have observed from the tribulation?" Zhen Yunzi advised.
But Zhirui was resolute, so Zhen Yunzi had no choice but to accompany him as he left.
Indeed, just as Zhen Yunzi had said, having witnessed the tribulation, Zhirui not only gained a clear understanding of Ascension Tribulation but also garnered some cultivation insights which he indeed needed to process swiftly.
But he had spent too long at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect! Especially with the public gratitude from Dao Tong, it would surely attract covetous eyes.
Even with Grand Peak’s intervention, it would not deter the greed of the crowd!
Should a conflict erupt, there was no doubt that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would not stand by Zhirui.
Thus, while their relationship remained amicable and before matters turned sour, leaving swiftly was the best way to maintain a good relationship.
As for those insights? With space at hand, once Zhirui left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s gates, he could simply find a secluded spot and enter a space to mediate on them.
"Zhixuan, may your journey be smooth!"
Zhixuan felt somewhat reluctant, but there wasn’t much sadness as coming and going were normal for cultivators.
"Continue cultivating diligently! Maintain your Dao Heart!"
Suddenly, a Jade Box appeared in Zhirui’s hand, which he presented to Zhixuan, "These are some Precious Pills I refined."
But he secretly transmitted, ’This is a specially made Spirit Sealing Jade Box, which can extend the preservation of Spiritual Objects. Inside are three White Lotus Seeds I refined multiple times with the Purification Principle, which should help neutralize some Evil Qi.’
The official version of Spirit Sealing Jade Case was too bulky and conspicuous. This was an adaptation by Jiang Fengwu after his Divine Transformation, based on the prohibitions of the Jade Case. Although its effects were not as powerful as the original, it was much better than ordinary jade boxes.
’Also, try to avoid choosing the Five Mixed Realms when you ascend! Da Qing confided that after his breakthrough, newly awakened bloodline inheritance advised him that the Five Mixed Realms frequently experience great battles, and the strength of cultivators there is not the strongest!’
Of course, should the Ten Thousand Swords Sect establish a Sect in the Five Mixed Realms, then Zhixuan’s ascension would be much safer with mentors and Sect protection.
’Understood.’
Almost all cultivators from various powers, after their ascension, found it impossible to communicate with their original sects, even the life tokens left behind would become ineffective due to the barriers between the two worlds.
Thus, even a great power like the Ten Thousand Swords Sect did not have much intelligence about the Five Mixed Realms.
The Li family was able to know, entirely relying on the bloodline inheritance awakened by the Contracted Spirit Beasts, and this was the only aspect in which the Li family was ahead of other major powers.
However, this was not stable, because the bloodlines of the Spirit Beasts were too complex, with countless ancestors, so apart from the most fundamental inheritances, such as cultivation techniques, other inheritances were random.
Just like Xiaoqing and Cang after breaking through to fifth order, they had no idea about the news from the Five Mixed Realms.
After bidding farewell to Zhixuan and Zhen Yunzi, Zhirui flew to a secluded forest, used his Divine Sense to survey the area, confirmed no one was nearby, and then immediately flashed into his space to begin contemplating the insights on Ascension Tribulation.
Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, his aura had slightly improved, and besides that, he had a better understanding of the intensity of the Thunder Tribulation, which would facilitate his preparations when it was his time to transcend.
"I wonder what gift Dao Tong has sent."
Zhirui, filled with anticipation, took out the Jade Slip, inserted his Divine Sense into it, and then became engrossed, not even noticing Shen approaching him.
After a long while, Zhirui emerged from the Jade Slip, sighed deeply, and said, "Such a precious thank-you gift."
In the Jade Slip were methods on how to easily overcome the Wind Fire Inner Tribulation, Nascent Soul Cultivation insights, and finally, the insights on transcending tribulation and ascension!
Such a Jade Slip, if placed in the outside world, would likely drive all cultivators mad!
With this precious Jade Slip, Zhirui’s confidence in ascending had at least increased by twenty percent!
"Jiu! So many years have passed, why hasn’t the Qilin Egg hatched yet?" Shen complained, "You should take it out of the space."
For some reason, the Qilin Egg had become very active recently and could even control Spiritual Energy to move itself.
It was wreaking havoc in the space, messing up the newly planted Spiritual Medicines, which now required replanting, unnecessarily increasing Shen’s workload, and he really couldn’t take it anymore!
Upon hearing Shen’s litany of complaints, Zhirui thought, "Could it be that it’s about to hatch?"
With that thought, he flew to where the Qilin Egg was placed and asked, "Are you about to come into the world?"
"It seems so, I faintly feel it." 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Zhirui, hearing this, was overjoyed; after so many years, the moment had finally arrived, when he had almost thought it would take thousands of years to hatch.
Although after hatching, it would still need to start from the first order, with the Qilin’s capabilities, the cultivation speed would likely be as rapid as a rocket.
Of course, Zhirui would not allow such a situation to arise; he would suppress the Qilin, helping it to build a solid foundation.
The foundation determines the upper layers!
If one does not value the foundation, regret would be too late in the future.
"Do not wreak havoc everywhere, or if you anger Shen, and he imprisons you, I won’t release you," Zhirui warned.
With so many years of cultivation, Shen had already become a third-order Devil Spirit, and although the Qilin’s bloodline was of an extremely high grade, it was currently just an egg, and even after hatching, it would merely be first-order; dealing with it would be easy for Shen!
"I understand," the little Qilin replied nonchalantly.
Zhirui shook his head, seeing that his words hadn’t been taken seriously.
However, he didn’t wish to say more; after all, no matter how much he said, experiencing it once would leave a more lasting impression.
