The Transmigrator's Cultivation - Chapter 368

Originally, Xu Ziqing had already found his own path, which was the way of life and death reincarnation. The ten thousand woods inherently possess the cycle of life and death, and vitality always prevails over deathly energy.

He could derive the deathly energy from the killing intent of his shixiong during their dual cultivation, and although Rongjin was fierce and violent, devouring countless souls, even though he was slightly lacking now, with enough planning, it was not impossible to acquire it… Moreover, while the yang wood within him was not as abundant as the yin wood, there were still several trees among the secondary wood, allowing for a balance of wood energy… None of these were sufficient to be a bottleneck.

However, although Xu Ziqing’s temperament was gentle, he had been following his shixiong closely, witnessing his shixiong amass tremendous power and dominate all directions. As a man, coupled with his bond as a Dao partner with his shixiong, how could he lack ambition? Besides considering himself, he also didn’t want to lose face for his shixiong, which made him think more strategically.

Among the most important matters was the issue of the Zifu’s Small Universe.

Xu Ziqing’s Dao partner, Yun Lie, could open a small universe prototype at the Golden Core stage. Xu Ziqing’s path was different and could not replicate this method, but he had recently obtained a Sumeru Mustard Seed, which could bridge this gap.

By integrating the Sumeru Mustard Seed before forming his Nascent Soul, he could use the seed’s power to open a small universe prototype. Later, by leveraging the heavenly Dao principles during the Nascent Soul breakthrough, he could mature the small universe prototype, merging it with the Sumeru Mustard Seed and saving hundreds of years of hard work—just as Yun Lie absorbed the fruits of sword path and countless sword intents, Xu Ziqing could also have the Sumeru Mustard Seed, which naturally carried the laws of the world, aligning with his own path, allowing for the myriad trees to enter his body and generate a world.

Such a great opportunity, how could Xu Ziqing let it pass?

Thus, ever since obtaining the Sumeru Mustard Seed, he had nurtured it within his heart and essence, treating it with utmost caution compared to other seeds.

After many years, the essence of the Yimu continuously stimulated the Sumeru Mustard Seed, gradually restoring its vitality. However, it had not truly recovered.

If it were an ordinary person, they might feel powerless at this point, but the “Ten Thousand Woods Great Heart Planting Technique” was an exceptionally powerful legendary technique, always possessing its unique aspects.

This unique aspect not only allowed the emergence of a true plant distinct from ordinary wood-element cultivators but also enabled the listener to hear the voices of the ten thousand trees when they reached a certain realm—not just able to absorb scattered thoughts but also to gain insight into the needs of the ten thousand trees.

Thus, although the consciousness of the Sumeru Mustard Seed was weak after Xu Ziqing had nurtured it over the years, it was eventually able to convey its intentions.

For the Sumeru Mustard Seed to fully recover, it required Zhenyi Divine WaterTrue One Divine Water for nourishment.

This Zhenyi Divine Water was said to be passed down from ancient times, and now, it was essentially the Five Elements Divine Water.

Naturally, Xu Ziqing did not possess such divine water, which prevented the Sumeru Mustard Seed from recovering its vitality. The bottleneck lay in this.

Just as he was pondering, Yun Lie on the opposite bed opened his eyes, the black and gold light slowly retracting. He spoke, “What troubles you?”

Xu Ziqing replied, “I wanted to discuss this with you, Shixiong.” He explained the matter of his bottleneck in detail and raised some concerns, asking for his shixiong’s guidance.

Yun Lie pondered briefly, addressing his doubts, then said, “You can go to the Wanbao Hall and have a look.”

Xu Ziqing’s expression changed, and he smiled, saying, “That’s right, I almost forgot.”

The Wanbao Hall was a place where disciples of the Zhoutian Immortal Sect could exchange resource tokens for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It also allowed resources and spirit stones to be traded for needed items, akin to exchanges with external businesses and auction houses, though only inner disciples could enter.

In the vast and resource-rich Qianyuan Greater World, the Zhoutian Immortal Sect is renowned, and naturally, the resources and items within the Wanbao Hall are abundant and diverse.

It is said that there exists such a divine water here— even if they can’t obtain it all, finding two or three would save them a lot of trouble.

After the two made their decision, they quickly set off towards the Wanbao Hall.

After about half an hour of flight, they arrived at a deep valley filled with countless buildings, resembling a gigantic city.

At the core of the valley stood several extremely tall halls, surrounded by numerous streets lined with various shops, markets, and stalls.

Countless beasts and pets moved about, some able to soar through the sky and others running like the wind, all carrying well-dressed cultivators on their backs, radiating a brilliant aura, with numerous magical treasures in sight. Additionally, many cultivators flew by on swords or with escape lights. Once they reached the valley’s entrance, they bent down and entered the “city.”

This bustling scene rivaled the prosperity of the mortal realm.

Yet, amidst this prosperity, there was an air of transcendence, greatly differing from the mundane world.

Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie traveled swiftly and soon arrived in front of a grand hall, descending hand in hand.

The hall towered to an unknown height, occupying an immeasurable area, its imposing presence resembling a colossal structure.

Two young attendants stood guard at the hall’s entrance. Though their appearances seemed ordinary, anyone attempting to probe them with spiritual sense would likely be taken aback.

Xu Ziqing had previously read the jade slips preserved by the Wuling lineage, which contained a map of the Zhoutian Immortal Sect, marking places frequented by cultivators and providing descriptions of each.

Therefore, upon arriving here, he did not pay any special attention to the attendants, ensuring he behaved appropriately.

Xu Ziqing smiled warmly, exuding a gentle and handsome demeanor, while Yun Lie remained expressionless, naturally radiating a cold and stern aura.

Both were outstanding individuals, but since the surrounding crowd was filled with geniuses and talented people, they did not attract undue attention.

The two young attendants immediately noticed the tokens at Xu and Yun’s waists, maintaining silence and allowing them to enter.

These tokens were the disciple badges of the Zhoutian Immortal Sect, and anyone within the sect was required to wear them; otherwise, they would likely find it difficult to move an inch.

Upon entering the grand hall, it felt as if they had stepped into an endless expanse. Their vision was unbounded, as the area had been expanded through void techniques.

Numerous cultivators walked about the hall, and looking up revealed countless luminous orbs floating within.

However, Xu Ziqing did not gaze at those orbs but instead approached a young cultivator dressed in an apricot-yellow robe.

The young man’s expression was solemn, and his robe clearly indicated his identity. He was the steward of the Wanbao Hall.

As Xu Ziqing approached, the steward in the apricot-yellow robe slightly swayed, and another identical figure emerged from within him.

Before Xu Ziqing could fully comprehend the situation, he saw yet another figure emerge and head towards the hall from another direction.

Such a strange phenomenon surprised him a little. If he was not mistaken, this must be a technique of splitting the spirit and manifesting avatars. Each avatar contained a trace of spiritual thought, and responding to these avatars felt just like conversing with the young man in the apricot-yellow robe himself. Moreover, the responses from the avatars would also be conveyed back to the main body. However, to achieve such a feat, one must at least possess the cultivation of a Divine Transformation; otherwise, it would be impossible to appear so ordinary.

Without further thought, Xu Ziqing smiled at the approaching young cultivator and called out, “Senior.”

The young cultivator nodded slightly, saying, “What can I assist you two with?”

Seeing the avatar’s amiable demeanor, Xu Ziqing felt reassured and replied, “This junior needs assistance from the Five Elements Divine Water for cultivation. I wonder if there is such a thing in the Wanbao Hall and how I might exchange for it?”

A glimmer of yellow light flickered in the young cultivator’s eyes as he said, “There are three thousand six hundred types of Five Elements Divine Water. Do you have a specific description?”

Xu Ziqing was taken aback; he had not expected there to be so many types of Five Elements-related divine water. Initially, he had hoped for an easier description, but now it seemed more complicated. He quickly added, “It is not the ordinary Five Elements Divine Water. In ancient times, it was known as the ‘Zhenyi Divine Water.’”

The young cultivator nodded, “Those called Zhenyi Divine Water consist of five types of divine water, divided into five elements, all either Yang-attribute water or Yin-attribute water. According to this classification, there are eighteen types of Yin-attribute water and six types of Yang-attribute water. Please take a look.” As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Suddenly, a jade tablet appeared before Xu Ziqing, filled with numerous small characters and images.

Indeed, there were many types of Yin-attribute and Yang-attribute water. However, whether Yin or Yang, the five elements were not complete.

In the Yang-attribute water, there were deficiencies in metal and fire, while in the Yin-attribute water, there were deficiencies in wood and water.

Each was missing two types, making it impossible to seek out alternatives.

After viewing it, Xu Ziqing handed the jade tablet to Yun Lie, asking his shixiong to take a look as well.

Yun Lie glanced over, nodded slightly to indicate his understanding.

Seeing that both had finished examining, the young cultivator asked, “What do you think?”

Xu Ziqing pondered for a moment and replied with a smile, “Neither type can be gathered together, which puts us in a bit of a dilemma.”

The young cultivator said, “If the divine waters are incomplete here, you may try your luck at the Wande Hall.”

Xu Ziqing had the same idea but also appreciated the good intention of the other party, so he expressed his thanks and left with his shixiong.

As the name suggests, the Wande Hall is where the Zhoutian Immortal Sect issues tasks.

If there are treasures or resources that cannot be found in the Wanbao Hall, one can seek relevant information here.

Indeed, this place not only issues tasks for items needed by the sect but also gathers many messages related to heavenly materials and earthly treasures, all for the convenience of the disciples within the sect. Those in need can mostly find responses here.

Since Xu Ziqing could not find the divine waters in the Wanbao Hall, he would come here to search for information about the divine waters, which would help him find them. Whether he finds news of the Yang-attribute water or the Yin-attribute water, he would need to obtain that information first to exchange for the other three types of divine water in the Wanbao Hall.

Upon entering the great hall, he noticed that both inside and outside, the Wande Hall resembled the Wanbao Hall almost identically.

If there was any difference, it was that the floating luminous orbs inside had transformed into countless jade talismans.

Each jade talisman emitted light and seemed like a magical treasure, but within them lay a universe.

The information Xu Ziqing needed was hidden within these jade talismans.

A steward avatar in a robe approached and, upon learning what Xu Ziqing was searching for, flicked his sleeve, pushing over a portion of jade talismans, probably numbering in the thousands.

“These are all related to water attributes; you may search as you wish.”

Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart but first expressed his thanks to the steward.

Yun Lie stood by Xu Ziqing’s side and said, “I will search with you.”

Xu Ziqing felt warmth in his heart and brushed away his gloom, replying with a smile, “Thank you, shixiong.”

The two immediately released their spiritual senses and began searching among the myriad jade talismans.

After spending two to three hours, they finally filtered out five jade talismans.

Without a doubt, these jade talismans contained information regarding the divine waters.
