Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1635: Chapter 879: Enlightenment with the Pen, Primordial Yang on the Horizon

Zhao Xuan Ye paused in his steps, his eyes scanning the child in front of him, filled with amazement.

This...

Zhao Xuan Ye, being knowledgeable and experienced, immediately recognized the child as a True Spirit incarnation, and was truly shocked.

"This old man Zhao Xuan Ye is here today to seek an audience with the great Daoist, and I hope you, little Taoist friend, can announce my arrival."

After speaking, Zhao Xuan Ye took out a gold element law crystal the size of a mung bean and handed it to Jin Zha.

Jin Zha’s eyes lit up, and he immediately snatched the crystal, quickly stuffing it into his mouth and swallowing it.

Zhao Xuan Ye smiled without speaking, but thought proudly to himself, "I knew no Spirit Treasure True Spirit could resist the temptation of a law crystal."

After swallowing a piece of the law crystal, Jin Zha’s expression relaxed slightly, and he casually said to wait here, then his figure flashed, disappearing from sight.

A few breaths later, Jin Zha reappeared, grabbing Zhao Xuan Ye’s arm and said coldly, "The lord wants to see you, come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xuan Ye felt a dazzling golden light before him, then a moment of weightlessness, followed by solid ground.

Zhao Xuan Ye looked around, quickly spotting a clear Jade Pond, nearly overflowing, with a layer of colorful law crystals laid below.

The next moment, the water parted, and Zhao Sheng flew out from below, slowly landing in front of Zhao Xuan Ye.

"This old man pays respects to the great Daoist!" Zhao Xuan Ye quickly bowed in salute.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. Why have you come to see me in such haste?"

"To inform the Daoist of good news. In the past two months, this old man discovered a Red Demon Mother Monkey has successfully conceived a Spiritual Embryo."

Zhao Sheng’s heart stirred, he smiled and said, "Indeed, this is great news. Tell me, how should I reward you?"

"No, no! This old man is merely doing his duty, no need for the Daoist’s reward. Furthermore—"

Before he could finish, Zhao Sheng interrupted him suddenly.

"Ah... Merit must be rewarded, faults must be punished! You performed your duties well, you must be rewarded."

After speaking, Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, then said, "On the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion, there’s an Immortal Scripture called the ’Sky Demon Transformation Technique.’ Though incomplete, it’s still a superior technique. You should go and study it, it will likely benefit you greatly. Here’s a Passage Talisman, take it."

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng took out a Jade Talisman from his sleeve and casually handed it to Zhao Xuan Ye.

Zhao Xuan Ye held the Jade Talisman with excitement, repeatedly bowing to express his gratitude to the Daoist.

Zhao Sheng waved indifferently, then inquired about the mother monkey’s pregnancy period.

Zhao Xuan Ye put away the Jade Talisman, and seriously said, "To report to the Daoist, according to the Ancient Scroll of Ten Thousand Beasts, a Red Demon Horse Monkey typically takes a hundred years to give birth to a monkey baby. The Daoist will need to patiently wait for about a century."

"A hundred years?" Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered slightly, pondering silently.

A moment later, his gaze steadied, and he said in a deep voice, "Well, a hundred years it is, I can wait!"

Just a hundred years, it was merely the time to enter a retreat. Zhao Xuan Ye couldn’t understand why the Daoist spoke so solemnly.

He truly didn’t understand, he didn’t understand that the person before him could open a Grotto Heaven at any time but still needed to patiently wait a hundred years.

Zhao Xuan Ye, cunning in his old age, didn’t bother asking the Daoist why he said this, but instead, he excused himself.

Zhao Sheng did not retain him, immediately instructing Jin Zha to take him out.

Jin Zha promptly responded, stepping forward to grab his arm, once again turning into light and disappearing.

A breath later, Jin Zha hurried back, eyes fixed intently on his master, filled with longing.

Zhao Sheng patted his little head, saying, "Little fellow, can’t wait any longer, right? I’ll write it for you now."

As he spoke, a Broken Pen flew out from his brow, quietly landing in Zhao Sheng’s hand.

At the same moment, Jin Zha gleefully untied his bellyband, revealing his jade-like white belly.

Zhao Sheng slit open his palm, letting the blood flow into the Broken Pen, quickly staining the tip red.

Then, he held the Broken Pen, swiftly drawing the tip across Jin Zha’s belly.

In an instant, a blood-colored character for "sorrow" appeared vividly.

Wow!

As the blood character formed, sorrow welled up in Jin Zha’s heart, and he began to cry loudly.

Droplets of "tears" fell from his eyes, hitting the ground one after another, quickly turning into gold beans.

Witnessing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly shouted, "Jin Zha, if not now to comprehend sorrow, then when?"

Jin Zha seemed enlightened, immediately transforming into golden light, diving into the Jade Pond, instantly disappearing without a trace.

As an extremely rare outcast life in the All Heavens and Universes, the cultivation path of a True Form Spirit Treasure is both simple and challenging.

To progress from a True Form to Primordial Yang, it sounds easy, but in reality, it’s as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Who could know that the innately human Seven Emotions and Six Desires are treasures that True Form Spirit Treasures long for immensely yet are almost unattainable.

True Form Spirit Treasures must possess genuine "emotion" to ignite the Primordial Yang Fire.

No matter whether it’s joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, as long as a spirit treasure truly comprehends one emotion, the Primordial Yang Realm is no longer a dream.

Yet, throughout history, those from True Form Spirit Treasures who advance to Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures are one in ten thousand.

In a sense, the Five Directions Five Elements Mirror gained divine favor.

Because they all have a master possessing a supreme treasure capable of altering destiny.

In the past ten years, except for Jin Zha, the other four Zhas were all "enlightened" by Zhao Sheng with a pen.

Jin Zha corresponds to... sorrow,

Mu Zha is... anger

Water, fire, and earth correspond to: fear, joy, and thought respectively.

Five Elements correspond to Five Emotions, aligning precisely with traditional cultivation concepts.

Zhao Sheng’s act of "enlightenment" with a pen, directly spared the Five Elements Cave Heaven Mirror countless years of grinding, practically akin to a "one-step ascent."

It can be foreseen that soon, the Five Elements Mirror will sequentially ignite the Primordial Yang Fire, becoming one in ten thousand Primordial Yang level spirit treasures.

...

Burial Immortal Ruins, Yuanxu Square.

The workshop wasn’t very large; the streets were eerily quiet.

Below a stone tower made of Giant Stones, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged on the ground, spreading out a large Beast Skin in front of him that was piled high with various treasures.

Soon, an Alien Practitioner with light green skin, over a zhang tall, stopped in front of the stall, pointing at a blackened wood stump, asking, "Taoist, what’s the price of this item?"

Without lifting his head, Zhao Sheng said, "Ten pieces of Pocket World Jade, or an equivalent amount of Principle Crystals, no attribute limitations."

The Alien Practitioner immediately bargained, "Isn’t that too expensive? Just a piece of rotten wood, how can it be worth such a price! One Pocket World Jade, and I’ll take it."

Zhao Sheng sneered, "Haha, how rare is a ten-thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Wood; it’s not something a single Pocket World Jade can exchange for. Do you want to trade, or not, just get lost!"

"Deal! But, I’ll only offer three pieces of Pocket World Jade."

As he spoke, the person suddenly reached out for the Ten-thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Wood.
