C1457 Origin Stone
Just when the Guardian Spirit was killed by Tang Ruoqing and Zhong Kui, Yang Junshan took out two of the Tiger Spirits in the air.
After Yang Junshan had absorbed and refined the two Tiger's Spirit's Metal Elemental Essences, he had just felt that the amount of Gold Qi in his body had clearly increased by another step when he heard a conflict between Tang Ruqing and Zhong Kui's words in the valley. When he looked down, he was attracted by Zhong Kui's sword in the south.
The sword had surrounded the ball of essence from the beast spirit core. As it spun around the ball of essence, it was continuously absorbing the ball of essence and killing intent. Moreover, the sword was slightly trembling, as if it was emitting joyous sounds.
Yang Junshan couldn't help but feel astonished. If he remembered correctly, Zhong Kui's True Nan sword was already a low-grade immortal weapon during the great battle in the Heavenly Star Region. Now Zhong Kui was actually going to advance to a high-grade immortal weapon?
Yang Junshan had been a Golden Immortal for a long time, so he now had a general understanding of the situation of the Great Celestial Realm in the starry sky.
All in all, for the majority of Primordial Immortals, immortal artifacts were still a difficult target to hope for. Even among the Golden Body Immortals, there were plenty that could use a Dao weapon with their life treasures, but there were still many who could use one.
During the battle between the eight Golden Immortals, three of them had appeared. This was very eye-catching, but in the end, it was all because of the eight Golden Immortals. They were powerful existences even among cultivators of the same level.
Even with Zhong Kui's strength and the background of the ghost clan, he was still qualified to have a low-grade immortal equipment. However, Yang Junshan felt that if he had a mid-grade immortal equipment, it would only bring him disaster.
As long as one took a look at the Circulatory World's Sector Lord Primordius, an existence at the level of the Acupoint Charging Stage, or even if he was a world-shaking figure, the Haotian Heaven Mirror in his hands was only a middle-grade immortal equipment.
From this, one could see the rarity of middle-grade immortal equipment.
However, the second thing that surprised Yang Junshan was the fact that he had advanced from a low-grade immortal equipment to a middle-grade one. Was it that simple? Just by devouring the essence of a Golden Immortal beast spirit?
Yang Junshan knew that this was not the time for internal conflict, so he opened his mouth to interrupt the two of them. At the same time, he curiously asked, "Is Mr Zhong's sword going to be promoted to a middle-grade immortal equipment?"
Once Yang Junshan spoke, the tense atmosphere between Tang and Zhong instantly disappeared. Tang Ruoqing stared at the southern longsword that was devouring the metal element in the air in shock.
Zhong Kui was stunned when he heard this. He patted his head and said, "How is this a middle-grade immortal equipment? What virtue or ability does I have to have a middle-grade immortal equipment?"
As Zhong Kui spoke to here, a trace of happiness and complacency appeared in his eyes. He said, "However, I'm afraid that I'll soon have my first immortal weapon. Even though it's just a low-grade immortal weapon."
Yang Junshan was surprised, "The first one?" Isn't Mr Zhong's True South sword already a low-grade immortal equipment? "Before, in the Hua Tian Star Region …"
"Hehe," Zhong Kui's chuckle interrupted Yang Junshan's question, "At that time, it was only a secret technique of the Ghost Clan cast by Zhong Kui that allowed him to attach a strand of his own vital energy to the spirit treasure, allowing it to improve its quality in a short period of time. This is why it was able to compete with the immortal equipment in the opponent's hands, but was actually able to deceive you, Fellow Yang."
"Of course," Zhong Kui pointed his finger towards the southern sword, which was getting fatter and fatter, as his own vital essence poured into the sword. The sword vibrated with a joyful feeling, as the spirit of the sword had increased greatly, and he continued, "This is because my southern sword's quality has already reached the peak of a Superior Grade Dao Artifact. Otherwise, how deep is the gulf between a Dao Artifact and a Divine Artifact?"
Yang Junshan heard this and smiled enviously, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhong. Now it seems that the real time for Zhennan Jian to advance to a low-rank immortal equipment is here."
Zhong Kui laughed loudly and said, "There is still a long way to go, still a long way to go. This time, I have received an extremely pure source energy nourishment and can be considered to have met the requirements for a qualitative change. But if I want to cross that threshold, I will need to recuperate for another three to five years before I can do anything I want."
Yang Junshan also laughed, "It's only been three to five years, isn't it?"
At this time, Tang Ruoqing's ill-timed voice sounded again, "Compared to Fellow Daoist Zhong's life sword, I'm more curious about what kind of treasure you've obtained in this valley."
When Tang Ruoqing said this, even Yang Junshan was curious, however, Yang Junshan and Zhong Kui's relationship was not bad, and in the end Zhong Kui had taken the initiative to bring Yang Junshan in. Although Yang Junshan had some precautions and tricks up his sleeve, it was still not good to directly investigate Zhong Kui's secrets.
To Yang Junshan's surprise, Zhong Kui chose not to conceal what he had just seen. Instead, he openly displayed the treasures he had obtained.
"This is a Five Elements Origin Stone that the White Tiger Clan collects. My greatest purpose in coming to the White Tiger Secret Realm is to obtain it." Zhong Kui took out a Five-Colored Stone the size of a palm and held it in his hand.
"What? Five Elements Source Stone?" Even with Tang Ruqing's zombie-like face, she found it difficult to suppress the agitation in her heart when she heard this. She could not help but ask again, "Legend has it that it's the Five Elements Source Stone that can form the foundation of the Five Elements?"
When Yang Junshan looked at the Five Elements Source Stone, his expression changed again and again, looking extremely complicated.
Zhong Kui glanced at Tang Ruqing, then put away the Five-Colored Stone without hesitation. "You're overthinking it. The Five Elements Source Stone isn't as powerful as the legends say!"
Seeing the look of disbelief on Tang Ruoqing's face, Zhong Kui pointed at Yang Junshan and said: "For tens of thousands of years, there is only one method that can directly establish the foundation of the five types of Qi, and that is to choose the path of becoming a Saint directly through the flesh just like Fellow Yang. Otherwise, under any circumstances, it would be difficult to create the five types of Qi directly from the chest, not even the Five Elements Source Stone!"
Seeing how Zhong Kui was adamant, Tang Ruqing questioned, "Then why are you looking for Five Elements Source Stones?"
Zhong Kui looked at Tang Ruoqing with amusement, "Although it's impossible for the Five Elements Source Stone to form the Five Elements Foundation, it's still possible for it to directly open the foundation of one of the Five Elements Qi. If one is lucky, it's even possible for one to form the foundation of two of the Five Elements Qi."0
"After all, for the majority of metal immortals, opening the foundation of one's five energies is much more difficult than reaching mastery directly from one of the five energies in their chests. Aren't there a few examples like that of Celestial Lord Pan Fuming in the Starry Sky world?" Zhong Kui continued.
Tang Ruoqing couldn't help but nod in agreement. Zhong Kui's words revealed the true problems facing the majority of the Golden Body Immortals, which caused her to feel somewhat sympathetic.
After a moment, Tang Ruoqing suddenly reacted. With a complicated and bitter expression, she said, "If that's the case, then congratulations in advance! Fellow Daoist Zhong, you have advanced to the fifth layer!"
Zhong Kui smiled. His expression was filled with an indescribable color as he pointed out, "It's still too early. I don't have any hopes of being able to connect to any more Five Elements Fountain. As long as I can open and forge one of them, I'll be satisfied."
"You two, although it is a bit inappropriate, I would like to say that this does not seem to be the appropriate place to discuss these matters." Yang Junshan's tone was stiff.
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm a bit too proud of myself!"
Both of them noticed that Yang Junshan seemed to be in a bad mood. Strangely, both Tang Ruoqing and Zhong Kui apologized to Yang Junshan for his cold attitude.
However, Tang and Zhong Xiu did not know that the reason why Yang Junshan was in a bad mood was not because of jealousy or anything else, but because of the Five Elements Source Stone that Zhong Kui had displayed earlier.
Not only did Yang Junshan recognize the Five Elements Source Stone, he even had it. Furthermore, the Five Elements Source Stone he possessed was much larger than the one in Zhong Kui's hands!
However, the Five Elements Source Stone that he possessed, the precious treasure that allowed the Golden Immortals to use it to start their cultivation base, had long been used by Yang Junshan as the base of the Five Elements Thunder Dao Formation.
That's right, it was used by Yang Junshan to set up a formation!
Back then when he obtained this item on the Heavenly Constitution Island, he did not know that the Five Elements Origin Stones had such amazing uses. Moreover, even if he knew, he might not be able to understand it.
At that time, Yang Junshan was at most a low-level dao cultivator who had just recently advanced, and in the Circulatory World, besides the Sector Lords, he did not even have a single Golden Body Immortal. With Yang Junshan's current status, how could he understand the importance of the Five Elements Source Stone?
Feeling vexed, Yang Junshan walked with Tang and Zhong Wenshui towards the next secret location, thinking that other than this matter, they must send a message back to the family. Before the world of the cycle disintegrated, the Yang family would need to collect another rare treasure, and that was the Five Elements Source Stone!
While Yang Junshan and the other two Golden Immortals were wandering around the White Tiger Secret Realm, somewhere near the edge of the Heaven Flying Star Realm, Yang Junxiu, who had come through the Golden Orchid Seal to sense Yang Junshan, was caught in a dilemma.
Yang Junshan suddenly disappeared from her perception range. However, Yang Junxiu could still determine his location by relying on the Golden Orchid Seal. Thus, he could also determine the approximate location of Yang Junshan.
However, just as she lost her ability to sense Yang Junshan, an indescribable aura triggered the same reaction from her bloodline, as well as the resonance between her spirit treasure, the Soul Severing Saber and herself.
However, the problem was that from the direction of this strange and familiar voice, it seemed to be different from the direction in which Yang Junshan's aura had disappeared. This made it hard for Yang Junxiu to make a decision.
