The Mirror Legacy - Chapter 1311: Seeking Help (II)
Chapter 1311: Seeking Help (II)
Lu Jiangxian weighed the matter in his heart and sighed inwardly, Deceiving a Golden Core Realm cultivator is exceedingly difficult. It is easy to say, but if Chi Buzi can obtain the Purple Mansion Realm chapter of Chougui Water Seeking Method, saving him is not impossible. At the very least, I must ensure that I leave no traces.
Lu Jiangxian was in fact far more interested in the Hunyi Immortal Wall. The largest force behind his leap in strength had been the Three Drums Wall within the Green Pine Grotto Heaven. At its root, the Three Drums Wall was also an immortal wall. That meant the immortal art Lu Jiangxian had long been seeking finally had a lead.
No wonder… No wonder I followed the Li Family throughout the Eastern Sea and never found a trace of it. So it was hidden beneath the seabed, reinforced by several layers of forbidden and even immortal formations. I do not know whether it can be passed through.
He fell silent for a moment, listening as Shaohui reported the information. He paused briefly, then revealed a hint of interest as he replied, “A treasured land that can evade a True Monarch? It may be a trace left behind by my heavenly self. Go there and try to see whether you can establish contact with the heavens.”
Chi Buzi immediately nodded respectfully. Speaking of Dao attainment, there was only this one immortal general in the heavens who could truly make him submit. That discourse on the Dao, let alone a True Monarch, would not have been an exaggeration to call immortal.
Zhen’gao said casually, “To break through to a divine ability, you are seeking the Purple Mansion Realm technique of the lower realm Chougui Water Seeking Method. Who knows which cultivator of the near ancient times wrote it? How could the heavens possibly have records of it?”
Chi Buzi’s heart suddenly relaxed, as he was filled with both shock and joy.
So that supremely wondrous thing truly gives birth to a divine ability through resonance with the Immortal Foundation!
He naturally knew that different techniques produced divine abilities with slight differences, but his own divine ability had broken through without any technique at all. It was possible there was no corresponding method to be found. He had been uneasy and had not even dared to ask. He felt immense relief.
So it is truly so. Truly so. As long as the source of the Purple Mansion Realm method can be found, it will do. The Chunyi Dao is full of fools from top to bottom. There are far too many loopholes to exploit.
His eyes brightened at once as he bowed. “Many thanks for your guidance, my lord.”
Zhen’gao slightly moved his chin to show he understood and said softly, “Since you have made this decision and will face that True Monarch sooner or later, it is better to make preparations early. Once you have obtained the method, return and report to Shaohui.”
Chi Buzi relaxed, but Dangjiang grew nervous and asked quietly, “My lord, may I ask about the cost of these immortal merits?”
Lu Jiangxian was eager for Chi Buzi to quickly arrange his escape route and continue catching demons for him, and immediately replied in a gentle tone, “No need to be nervous. This will be recorded under Immortal Official Liu. As for you, Chi Buzi, you must hurry and exchange for the Morning Cold Rain technique. At the very least, cultivate an Immortal Foundation. Later, after your memories are altered, you can cultivate it to a divine ability. After all, a severed Dao is the best protection. It speaks better than a thousand words and can soothe that True Monarch’s suspicions.”
In truth, Lu Jiangxian had mentioned it because that technique was already mostly compiled and could soon be handed over to fulfill the obligation.
Morning Cold Rain was not rare to begin with. There were eight or nine copies stored in the treasury. The Foundation Establishment Realm chapter could be written in the blink of an eye. As for the subsequent Purple Mansion Realm chapter, it required no particular grade or secret techniques and flowed effortlessly, making it easy to complete.
Chi Buzi naturally understood his meaning. In truth, he wanted to cultivate this art more than anyone, as soon as possible. His heart was anxious, and he nodded repeatedly as he said with a bow, “Many thanks for your guidance. This subordinate will go at once.”
He bowed again and said, “As long as I can preserve my life from Pristine Water’s hands, Buzi will certainly not disappoint you.”

Palace of Radiant Purity Supreme Yin.
The bright moon gleamed as Lu Jiangxian stood beside the translucent white jade seat. His gaze passed across many palaces and settled upon the two people within a small pavilion.
Several streams of multicolored light burst forth from nothingness and gathered before him. They flowed into his palm, and quickly condensed into a tiny point of light.
“Chi Buzi truly acts efficiently. He already offered up the Merciful One Yuguang.”
This peacock was far more capable than the previous female peacock. That one had nothing in its head but Buddhist methods once refined into talisman qi. This one at least possessed some foundation in the Immortal Dao, with scattered techniques. But what was especially rare was that it also carried a Merging Fire technique.
A fifth grade Purple Mansion Realm technique, Karmic Flame Heart Binding Art, cultivating the Immortal Foundation Black Crow Following Desire. Aside from the Karmic Flame Heart Binding Art, Yuguang also possessed one or two secret arts related to Great Peacock Karma. Lu Jiangxian further learned that this demonic peacock had an ancestor who was a great Buddhist cultivator and had once been the mount of the Revered One Suxikong.
No wonder peacocks hold such renown in Buddhist lands. With such origins, how could it not be significant?
He flicked his finger, setting the Karmic Flame Heart Binding Art aside, as he separated the peacock’s soul.
These Merciful Ones were indeed easy to obtain, but their cultivation was truly pitiful. Their understanding of the Immortal Dao and innate ability was lamentable. Yuguang was stronger than the female peacock, yet only by a limited margin. If he was released, he would merely be another person who could speak.
He could only turn his hand and store the art away for future use, contemplating deeply as he regarded the soul, At least it is a Purple Mansion Realm soul. It will be quite useful for shamanic spell arts. At worst, this soul will act as a trump card. As for Pristine Water… he may be returning.
Chi Buzi was merely a useful chess piece to him. Once Pristine Water returned, this piece would be ruined, even if he survived. In any case, he could no longer be allowed to offer demonic creatures. Losing his memories for a short time would suffice. No matter how ruined he was, it was better than death. At the critical moment, if Chi Buzi attained the Dao of Valley Water, it would certainly bring a tremendous turning point.
I will have to face Pristine Water sooner or later. Having one more piece is better than having one less.
He calmed his mind and looked outward through the mirror.
In the depths of the great void, a vast brilliance was slowly descending in places unseen. A powerful sense of resonance rose from afar, and the world within the mirror likewise flashed with bright radiance, causing Lu Jiangxian to slowly raise his brows.
Even with Lu Jiangxian’s level of control over Metallic Essence, the wisp of Bright Yang Metallic Essence sealed within the mirror began to stir. At the entrance of the immortal palace, the tallest and most luxurious heavenly gate radiated light and trembled faintly.
All kinds of Bright Yang spiritual qi and radiance interwove in the sky, dyeing the entire horizon a brilliant gold.
Lu Jiangxian raised his hand. The wisp of Bright Yang Metallic Essence emerged from his fingertips, like a cone of golden light, rapidly expanding and transforming, condensing into one face after another.
All radiance suddenly contracted and finally transformed back into a scene at his fingertips.
It was a dark and grim mining site. The first wisp of sunlight in the sky fell from the clouds upon miners whose bodies were smeared with blood and sweat, each with a different expression. A youth with a slightly pale face and resolute features slowly raised his head.
The Bright Yang Fruition has chosen its bearer.
