NOVEL NEXT Chapter 230 Evolution of the Mountain Seal
Black Cloud old monster waved his hand, and the jade box in his hand flew into Zhao Yu's grasp.
Zhao Yu flicked his finger, and the bottle containing the Spirit Pill of the Xuan Yu Mountain also fell into the hands of Black Cloud old monster.
Upon receiving the bottle, Black Cloud old monster took out a Spirit Pill and scraped off some powder to swallow. Only then did he reveal a hint of satisfaction, putting away the bottle and stepping down from the high platform.
A beautiful Nascent Soul cultivator, with an attractive appearance and dressed in a goose-yellow silk skirt, came onto the platform. She took out a jade box, opened it, and revealed a crystal stone exuding refined Demonic Qi. She said, "Fourth-Order Yin Demon Stone, a top-notch Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for cultivating Demonic Path Divine Powers.
I'm looking to exchange it for a Spirit Pill that can enhance early-stage Nascent Soul Mana or the ten thousand-year Manifold Moon Star Blue Fruit!"
The gaze of the beautiful Nascent Soul cultivator fell upon Zhao Yu in an instant.
Zhao Yu glanced at the Yin Demon Stone without any ripple in his demeanor. He had not cultivated any Demonic Path Divine Powers.
Several Nascent Soul old monsters transmitted their voices in an attempt to purchase that Fourth-Order Yin Demon Stone, but the beautiful Nascent Soul cultivator shook her head, refusing.
Next, Nascent Soul cultivators continuously stepped onto the platform, presenting various rare and invaluable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Zhao Yu was quite moved by several of them; unfortunately, he had nothing that could pique their interest in exchange.
After the trade meeting had ended, Black Cloud old monster came to Zhao Yu's side and transmitted a message through a Spell, "Meet at the summit of Feather Mountain on Cloud Bird Island in three months!"
Zhao Yu then left Wind and Rosy Clouds Island and returned to the Immortal City of Heavenly Separation.
The Immortal City of Heavenly Separation, cave mansion.
"This trip to Wind and Rosy Clouds Island has been enormously fruitful! With the Stone Flame, my Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power will reach new heights!"
Zhao Yu immediately executed the Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power, and with a wave of his hand, the red Heavenly Separation True Fire enveloped the Stone Flame and plucked it directly.
The Heavenly Separation True Fire enveloping the Stone Flame almost destroyed it as a surge of violent fire energy erupted from the Stone Flame.
Zhao Yu frantically urged his Mana and his fire control technique, allowing the Heavenly Separation True Fire to suppress the Stone Flame little by little, and then wrapped it up before swallowing it whole.
After swallowing the Stone Flame, Zhao Yu circulated the Dao Fruit of devouring to refine it bit by bit.
One and a half months later, inside the Quiet Room.
"Finally, it's fully refined! With this, my Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power has integrated two types of divine flames! Even mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would probably struggle to withstand my Heavenly Departing True Fire!"
Zhao Yu stimulated the Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power, and a red flame danced in his right hand, transforming into various shapes like a Fire Crow, Flame Snake, and Jiao Dragon.
At this moment, the might of Zhao Yu's Heavenly Departing True Fire had already far surpassed that of the True Lord of Heavenly Departure. In terms of destructive power, it even exceeded his Mountain Great Handprint Divine Power.
"Next, I should refine my Lifebound Magic Treasure Mountain Seal!"
Zhao Yu swallowed the Divine Soil of Yellow Celestial and then began to absorb its power and fuse it into the Mountain Seal by circulating the Dao Fruit of Devouring.
Half a month later, inside the Quiet Room.
"Success!"
Zhao Yu opened his eyes, and with a spread of his fingers, a Mountain Seal flew from his hand, emitting an earthy-yellow Spiritual Light. At the same time, he could sense a close consciousness emanating from the Mountain Seal.
"Mountain Seal."
"Low-grade Spirit Treasure (0/10000)."
Zhao Yu's lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, "I've finally refined a Spiritual Treasure that belongs to me! After the Mountain Seal advanced to become a Spiritual Treasure, its might increased by a great margin once more!
With this, even if a Sword Cultivator of the same order were to wield the Qingling Divine Sword, it's uncertain whether they could break through the defense of the Mountain Seal!"
Spiritual Treasures are rare; typically, Nascent Soul Cultivators would spend countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and over a millennium to refine one. Some Spiritual Treasures are consecutively refined by a Nascent Soul power generation after generation before they are finally successfully refined.
If it weren't for possessing the Dao Fruit, Zhao Yu would not have been able to refine the Mountain Seal into a Spiritual Treasure in such a short period of time.
Atop Feather Mountain on Cloud Bird Island.
"Why hasn't Zhao Yu arrived yet?"
A tall, beautiful Nascent Soul Cultivator dressed in azure palace attire, with snowy jade-like skin and exquisite features, passed a trace of displeasure in her eyes as she spoke.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator, dressed in scholars' attire, with a handsome visage and a youthful look, smiled gently and said, "Fairy Lingxia, the appointed time for assembly has not yet arrived; it is us who have come early."
A skinny, somewhat ugly Nascent Soul Cultivator in black robes stood silently to one side without saying a word.
"Here he comes!"
The Black Cloud Old Freak looked up into the sky and saw a beam of Escape Light speeding from afar, settling down at the summit of Feather Mountain and revealing a figure, which was indeed Zhao Yu.
"Black Cloud Old Freak, who are these fellow Daoists?"
Zhao Yu looked at the three Nascent Soul old freaks and frowned slightly.
Black Cloud Old Freak said, "These three are my good friends, Fairy Lingxia, Sanjue Scholar, and True Lord Kumu. Everyone, this is City Lord Zhao Yu of Heavenly Separation Immortal City."
True Lord Kumu said coldly, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off! We shouldn't waste time!"
"In that case, please follow me!"
Black Cloud Old Freak directly used an Escape Technique, turning into a pitch-black light and flying toward the Blue Sky Sea.
The other four great Nascent Soul old freaks also cast Escape Techniques and closely followed behind.
After the five Nascent Soul Cultivators flew for thousands of miles across the Blue Sky Sea, an island spanning a thousand miles, dense with foliage but devoid of Spiritual Energy and uninhabited, appeared before them.
In the Blue Sky Sea, many islands devoid of Spiritual Energy were not guarded by cultivators, and just a few sea demons coming ashore could turn the island into a bloody river, killing all mortals. Hence, islands without cultivators rarely had mortal inhabitants.
"This is the place!"
Black Cloud Old Freak arrived in front of an ordinary-looking cliff, his eyes flashing with a scorching light as he looked at the smooth cliff face.
Zhao Yu swept his Divine Sense over the cliff face, but discovered that it was just a completely ordinary cliff without any special features.
Sanjue Scholar's eyes flashed with excitement as he said, "Ordinary formations and prohibitions can't deceive the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Level! The fact that this ancient ruin can conceal itself from our Divine Sense means it must surely belong to a God Transformation Grand Sect. And not just any God Transformation Grand Sect, but one that has connections with the Upper Realm!"
Black Cloud Old Freak pointed to a completely unremarkable spot on the cliff wall and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please place your palm here and input the Mana of the Mountain Sutra into it."
Zhao Yu immediately crushed a Fourth-Order Illusion-Breaking Talisman and a Divine Eye Talisman, his pupils emitting a dazzling light as he looked toward the cliff wall.
Under the power of the Spirit Talismans, Zhao Yu could see that what seemed to be an ordinary cliff wall was actually a door concealed by spells.
This door rose a hundred feet tall, engraved with countless mysterious Spiritual Patterns, and where Black Cloud Old Freak pointed, there indeed was a palm-sized recess.
Zhao Yu carefully examined the Spiritual Patterns on the door, relying on the profound research of Fourth-Order, mid-grade formations to study the mysteries within the Spiritual Patterns on the door.
