Chapter 986: Chapter 520: Eighth Life: Sword Nurturing Gourd, Arrival of the Void Dao Saint Master!
Inside the Supreme Peak.
With a flash of teleportation light.
The figures of Lu Yuan and Li Shouzhuo were enveloped in white light, disappearing instantly from their original location.
He felt the scenery before him change, and in the next moment, he appeared in another strange palace.
This palace was solemn and majestic, every brick and tile tempered by the passage of time, appearing exceptionally heavy.
And in the center of the palace stood a bronze statue of a man.
The man’s eyes were deep, wearing a black Daoist robe, with a tall and imposing stature.
In one hand, he held a yellow-skinned gourd, and in the other, a scroll of scriptures.
Even though it was merely a statue, it exuded an aura of majesty that made one irresistibly feel a sense of awe.
"Senior, is this the founding ancestor of the Cyan Cloud Sect?"
Upon seeing the bronze statue, Lu Yuan immediately guessed the identity.
"Correct, the Cyan Cloud Sect has existed for eight hundred and thirty-five years since its establishment."
"Throughout these centuries, thanks to the two supreme treasures left by the Ancestor, our Cyan Cloud Sect has repeatedly overcome crises."
As Li Shouzhuo spoke, he clasped his hands and bowed solemnly to the bronze statue.
Then he extended his hand.
The scroll and yellow-skinned gourd held by the bronze statue immediately transformed into two streams of light, floating quietly in front of him.
"This Sword Nurturing Gourd and the Ten Thousand Talisman Scripture are the two supreme treasures left by the Ancestor."
"The founding ancestor of our Cyan Cloud Sect was also a late-stage Celestial Destiny Great Power, possessing extraordinary skill in both Sword Dao and Talisman Dao."
"This Sword Nurturing Gourd was the Ancestor’s lifebound treasure, refined using an Innate Spiritual Object."
"Not only can it automatically refine a flying sword, but it can also seize others’ weapons for its own use."
"If encountered by a formidable enemy, with a slight activation, it can unleash a thousand swords, slaying enemies from a thousand miles away, possessing terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth."
"Back then, the Ancestor used this treasure in a confrontation with a Half-Step Void Dao practitioner, and never fell behind!"
Li Shouzhuo’s eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence as he explained in detail to Lu Yuan.
"As for this Ten Thousand Talisman Scripture, it is also the Ancestor’s lifeblood work, with mysterious origins known only to be obtained from an ancient ruin."
"After the Ancestor’s improvements and perfecting, it contains the methods for crafting and using tens of thousands of talismans."
"For example, the God-Banning Talisman I used against the Great Li Ancestor was personally crafted by the Ancestor."
"It can be said that this Ten Thousand Talisman Scripture is the supreme treasure that talisman cultivators have always yearned for."
Li Shouzhuo held nothing back, speaking candidly.
Theoretically speaking.
This is the core secret of the Cyan Cloud Sect, known only to successive Sect Masters or the Chief Supreme Elder.
But Lu Yuan was exceptionally talented, having reached the Celestial Fate Realm at a young age. With his aptitude and potential, surpassing the Ancestor of the Cyan Cloud Sect was only a matter of time.
Therefore, rather than hoarding these treasures, it was better for the Cyan Cloud Sect to take this opportunity to invest in Lu Yuan.
"The Sword Nurturing Gourd?"
Lu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly.
Having experienced many reincarnations, he was naturally familiar with flying swords.
Looking across the entire Cultivation Realm, sword cultivators were the most destructive group.
Their lifebound flying swords were extremely sharp, and hardly any cultivator of the same level dared to confront them directly.
However, refining a lifebound flying sword was extremely difficult, requiring the sword cultivator to use their own spiritual power to nurture and refine it day and night.
Then, through years of honing.
They would merge their spirit and will completely with the flying sword, allowing for seamless control and invincibility.
But while lifebound flying swords were certainly powerful, the refining process required a substantial amount of time and resources, inevitably slowing down one’s cultivation progress.
Therefore, although sword cultivators had astonishing destructive power, their cultivation speed often lagged behind other talents of the same level.
However, with this Sword Nurturing Gourd, it could automatically nurture a lifebound flying sword.
Most importantly, according to Li Shouzhuo.
This Sword Nurturing Gourd was crafted using an Innate Spiritual Object and contained a large number of Law Dao Marks.
If unexpected, by suddenly activating this treasure, it could even forcibly seize others’ magical treasures for its own use.
This function was truly heaven-defying, and in some ways, even more powerful than many Sacred Artifacts!
"Daoist friend, having successfully reached the Celestial Fate Realm is a blessing for our Cyan Cloud Sect. Consider these two treasures as my gift to you!"
Li Shouzhuo gently rubbed the yellow-skinned gourd, then handed it to Lu Yuan.
"Thank you, Senior. Then I won’t be courteous."
Lu Yuan did not hesitate, directly accepting the Sword Nurturing Gourd and the Ten Thousand Talisman Scripture together.
Although he already possessed several top-grade treasures, no one would dislike having too many trump cards.
Moreover, with the impending arrival of the Divine Fire Sect’s Void Dao Saint Master, each extra trump card meant one more chance for victory!
Seeing Lu Yuan accept the two treasures, Li Shouzhuo also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, as if recalling something, he spoke again.
"Powerhouses of the Divine Fire Sect are about to arrive at Great Li, and I’ve already arranged for Qingxuan to discreetly send some talented disciples to other regions."
"Lu Yuan, you have exceptional talent, why not join them and go to the Outer Domain to avoid the storm for a while?"
Li Shouzhuo spoke in a heavy tone.
Although Celestial Destiny Great Powers can dominate one area, before a Void Dao Saint Master, they are no different from ants.
And the Great Li Ancestor was a pawn of the Divine Fire Sect, yet the Cyan Cloud Sect dared to publicly execute him, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the Divine Teachings’ authority; they would certainly not let this go unpunished.
Therefore, upon learning of this, Li Shouzhuo had already prepared for the worst-case scenario.
