After a long ti, he had yet to see Chu Zheng return, yet under daily offerings, he experienced the Golden Body Spirit Communication Manifestation, which rewarded him and increased his cultivation speed significantly.
The temple dispersed the Yin Qi and also exhibited the effect of Gathering Spirit, gradually transforming the area into a Spirit Land, and over ti, Mu Xin chose to stay within the temple.
Although the solitude of over a century was felt, his gains were likewise substantial. His cultivation had soared from just entering the Third Realm to the middle stage of the Fourth Realm, just a step away from the late stage of the Fourth Realm.
Such a speed of cultivation was, compared to his own talent, at least saving him a century of arduous cultivation, nearly doubling it.
For a cultivator, this was indeed a rare opportunity. The years spent worshipping Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu in the temple also refined his Divine Soul, quieted it substantially, and his previously unsettled emotions gradually stabilized.
Chu Zheng pondered in reflection for a mont, then suddenly said, "I once told you, after a year, I would grant you an opportunity."
Upon saying this, he flipped his hand and produced two Seventh Order Supre Treasures, pushing them towards Mu Xin.
A cyan Jade Ruler and an ancient copper bell covered in dust.
These were the protective Supre Treasures Chu Zheng had prepared for himself before entering the Great Tomb, the Cold Spirit Ruler and the Soul Stabilizing Bell—one a weapon for battle, the other specifically guarding the Primordial Spirit.
Either of these treasures, arbitrarily chosen from within the Seventh Order, would be considered top-notch, hard-to-find Supre Treasures in the outside world.
However, for the now Chu Zheng, such Supre Treasures were not surprising, as he had no fewer than a hundred in his possession after becoming an Eighth Order Repairer; Seventh Order treasures no longer caught his interest.
After a brief consideration, Chu Zheng once again flipped his hand and tossed a Jade Talisman towards Mu Xin, also obtained from deep within the Great Tomb, a cultivation technique called "Nine Radiant Divine Firmant True Technique." Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
It included a path to attaining the Eighth Order, already an extrely rare thod of cultivation. The Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture that Chu Zheng's true self cultivated was no different.
Looking at the Supre Treasures before him, Mu Xin was montarily stunned, his pupils unconsciously dilated, and after a long while, a look of astonishnt appeared on his face.
He could not discern the grade of these two Supre Treasures, but from the oppressive feeling emanating from them, they seed much more terrifying than the protective treasures of his sect.
After a long while, Mu Xin reluctantly withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with slight trepidation:
"Daoist Venerable's gift is overly generous; Mu Xin dares not accept it without having rendered any service."
This opportunity was too significant, and he was initially hesitant to accept it. He did not feel that he had been of much use to Chu Zheng, rely guarding a door for over a century.
Such generous acts were astonishing; such opportunities, not to ntion guarding a temple for a hundred years, even guarding for a thousand or ten thousand years would find people willing to undertake it.
"I will not go back on my word, just accept it."
Chu Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly, then asked, "Would you like to leave with ?"
After leaving the Great Tomb, he planned to go to where the Heavenly Wutong was located. The situation in the Tianwu Realm was very chaotic with nurous races, and he needed a guide who knew the way, Mu Xin being the best fit.
"Naturally, it is my fortune that the Venerable Daoist wishes to bring along."
Mu Xin dared not refuse excessively, slightly trembling as he collected the two Supre Treasures. Touching that Jade Talisman, his heartbeat beca erratic once more, starting to accelerate uncontrollably.
This level of cultivation technique was sothing he had only heard about in rumors. The technique he cultivated was already the top technique within his sect, but compared to this "Nine Radiant Divine Firmant True Technique," it was still far behind.
"The entrance to the Great Tomb is about to close. If you have old friends or relatives inside the Great Tomb, you may send them a ssage, advising them to leave the Great Tomb as soon as possible, otherwise they will surely perish."
Recalling what Jian Shier had said earlier, Chu Zheng spoke up as a reminder. This information was top secret within the Great Tomb, not known to any creatures in advance.
Jian Shier had helped him quite a bit, and Chu Zheng would not get overly involved in this matter, especially since it related to a formidable entity from the Mythical Realm. Revealing this to Mu Xin was already the limit.
Hearing this, Mu Xin was suddenly startled, cold sweat breaking out on his back, and he quickly shook his head and said:
"When I left to gain experience, I accidentally entered this Great Tomb and had not yet had the chance to make friends before being brought here by the Venerable Daoist. My sect is very far from here, and rarely do sect mbers operate in this area."
"As it is, it could not be better."
Chu Zheng nodded slightly; this way, it had saved him quite a bit of trouble.
"Dao Lord, this temple..."
Mu Xin looked around, slightly hesitant. He had stayed in this place for over a hundred years and had grown accustod to it. Suddenly leaving now, he felt sowhat reluctant.
"You may stay here."
Chu Zheng slightly pondered, then drew a stream of Incense Fire Willpower from between the stars and injected it into the Divine Statue to maintain the spirituality of this Golden Body.
Fortunately, having had billions of followers in the Chaos Sea, with this Incense Fire Willpower to nurture it, even if no one worshipped it for thousands of years to co, it would not lose its divine wonders.
Leaving this temple would also leave Chu Zheng with an anchor point. Even if the Great Tomb was sealed and he departed, through this Golden Body, he could still know so situations inside the Great Tomb.
After glancing at the temple, Chu Zheng refrained from speaking further, turned, and stepped out of the temple with Mu Xin silently rising to follow.
After leaving the temple, Chu Zheng tore open a spatial passage, taking Mu Xin away from the plain where the temple was located and into a desolate valley.
Finding a rarely trodden corner, he casually dug a deep pit and buried a round bead and a ti-delayed ssage.
Leaving the Great Tomb, Chu Zheng naturally couldn't explain this directly to Jian Shier as it might attract unnecessary trouble; he could only leave without saying goodbye.
Two days later, this ssage would reach Jian Shier's hands.
As for the round bead, he had created it using the technique to imitate the lting Bead. Stored within it were so strands of Primordial Qi he had refined these days. This item was very useful for all beings except those practicing Immortal Martial Arts.
It was the sa for Jian Shier as Chu Zheng had already personally tested its significant benefits to cultivation.
After finishing these tasks, Chu Zheng did not linger any longer. Taking Mu Xin, he rushed towards the entrance of the Great Tomb.
Compared to when he arrived, his cultivation had grown imnsely. In less than half a day, he had passed through the torn space at the entrance of the Great Tomb and returned to the Tianwu Realm.
The mont he left the Great Tomb, Chu Zheng felt slightly unaccustod. It was noon outside, the concentration of Yin Qi between heaven and earth had lessened, and Chu Zheng could once again feel the abundant Yang Qi.
"If we are to go to where the Heavenly Wutong is located, how should we proceed?"
Chu Zheng was not in a hurry to travel and turned his head to ask Mu Xin.
"From here to the Heavenly Wutong, there is a considerable distance, and it cannot be crossed straight through, we would pass through many Taoist Orthodoxy and tribal territories. Without prior notification, it could bring trouble."
After pondering for a mont, Mu Xin had a plan, and said gravely, "Dao Lord can first follow back to the Sect Gate, where I will ask the Elder inside to help devise a plan, possibly choosing a shortcut."
The distribution of power within the Tianwu Realm was extrely chaotic. Countless tribes stood tall, with thousands of Taoist Orthodoxy, the Human Race's strength only at a moderate level.
Among the manifold Taoist Orthodoxy, there were ten top ones, most flourishing; each Taoist Master there had reached the supre domain, just a step away from the Realm of Ancient Myths.
Among the worlds Chu Zheng traversed in his incarnations, the foundations of the Tianwu Realm were the strongest, without equal.
Taoist Orthodoxy wasn't divided by species or tribe but by the cultivation techniques practiced. For instance, the tenth-ranked Divine Phoenix Dao, its Taoist Master, was a massive demon transford from a Divine Phoenix.
Despite this, there were still nurous Human Race powerhouses who allied under its banners, practicing Sorcery and even using secret techniques to transform themselves into Half-demons, taking pride in grafting feathers onto their bodies.
As there are two sides to everything, with Yin there is Yang; similarly, so of the Human Race, unwilling to mix with the Foreign Races, strongly opposed Otherkind. This portion of the Human Race, within the Tianwu Realm, found their situation precarious, bearing grudges against many tribal Taoist Orthodoxy.
Given the overly complicated relations between various powers, with Chu Zheng currently in the identity of a Yin Corpse, taking Mu Xin, a mber of the Human Race, and recklessly plowing ahead, they could easily invite trouble, necessitating long-term planning.
