Chapter 285 - 247: Past Life’s Dao Companion, Cyan Spirit Zhenren

Chapter 285: Chapter 247: Past Life’s Dao Companion, Cyan Spirit Zhenren

Additionally, there were three pieces of Tier Four Ore and over twenty pieces of Tier Three Ore.

There were numerous Elixirs for Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, as well as some for buffs and healing.

Two sets of Tier Four Middle Grade Array Flags.

One set was for concealment and isolation. The other was for Defense.

’This will make my future secluded cultivation sessions much more discreet.’

Xu Chang’an nodded repeatedly.

A Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator’s Storage Bag would naturally be filled with Talismans, Spirit Stones, Magic, and Secret Techniques!

After taking inventory of the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator’s belongings, Xu Chang’an moved on to the Storage Bag of the Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Inside were three Tier Four Spiritual Items, over twenty Tier Three Spiritual Items, and various other resources like Ore.

There was also a Tier Four Breath Concealment Technique.

This haul far exceeded Xu Chang’an’s expectations.

Clearly, these two Nascent Soul True Monarchs had reaped a hefty reward in the Cyan Yang Secret Realm!

Too bad it all ended up in Xu Chang’an’s pocket.

After finishing his inventory, Xu Chang’an began to frantically devour the Spiritual Herbs and Plants, Elixirs, and Ore.

One by one, he swallowed the Tier Four Spiritual Items as if they were common resources.

Tier Four Spiritual Items contained a terrifying amount of Energy. Not even a Great Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm would dare to consume them one after another like Xu Chang’an.

But with the help of his panel, this was nothing.

The Spiritual Items, the pieces of Ore, the Elixirs—they all transformed into a surging, hot current that was absorbed by the panel.

The numbers on the panel changed continuously.

10,000!

20,000!

30,000!

...

When Xu Chang’an had devoured every last consumable resource, the accumulated Energy on his panel had reached over 160,000.

’These Storage Bags alone contain several Top-Grade Magical Treasures. Plus, there’s a huge amount of resources I can sell! If I sell everything, I can accumulate at least another hundred thousand or so Energy!’

’If I could do this one more time, I could probably advance directly to the Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm! A shame... opportunities like this don’t come often. This time in the Cyan Yang Secret Realm was a stroke of luck. The Human Race Nascent Soul Cultivators were injured, and many Demon Kings were keeping them occupied! Otherwise, even if I had gained something, it wouldn’t have been this much!’

’Most importantly, there was an element of luck. If I hadn’t obtained the Great Sun Essence beforehand and comprehended a new Talent Divine Technique, I would not have been able to suppress and kill a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!’

Xu Chang’an continued to reflect, reviewing every detail of what had just happened and weighing the gains and losses.

In that battle, he had suffered considerable injuries from several head-on clashes in his effort to secure a decisive kill.

After taking a few high-grade Healing Elixirs, Xu Chang’an began to recuperate from his injuries.

Ten full days later, Xu Chang’an slowly opened his eyes.

His Demon Body and Spirit were resilient, and his Bloodline was formidable. His recovery speed was far greater than that of the Human Race and Demon Race cultivators at the same Realm.

Ten days had been enough for him to recover from his injuries.

’It’s time to return to Canglan!’

His original plan was to return to the Canglan Cultivation Realm upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. However, an unexpected detour had advanced his Cultivation to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm. His combat strength could now match a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, and with a burst of his Divine Techniques, he could even slay a Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator!

With such power, he would be much more confident upon his return to Canglan!

’Canglan...’

Xu Chang’an narrowed his eyes as scenes from his memories flashed through his mind.

In his past life, he had cultivated to the Late-stage Core Formation Realm. By a stroke of luck, he joined a team of Core Formation Zhenren to explore a Secret Realm.

The members of this Core Formation Zhenren team didn’t know each other. There were seven or eight of them, all at Late-stage Core Formation.

Normally, Xu Chang’an would not have been so reckless as to join them.

However, he had formed a Golden Core, giving him a solid foundation and placing his combat strength among the top tier of the Core Formation Realm.

Moreover, his Dao Companion, Cyan Spirit Zhenren, was exceptionally talented and had also formed a Golden Core.

The two of them traveled together, exploring the Secret Realm as a pair.

Although he was wary of the other Core Formation Zhenren, he joined them readily because both he and his Dao Companion were Golden Core Zhenren who could watch over and help each other.

But...

His luck was terrible. Not long after the exploration of the Secret Realm began, he was severely injured by a Mechanical Puppet inside.

He had intended to leave, but because his Dao Companion was in perfect condition, he insisted on continuing the exploration.

After all, opportunities were limited and wouldn’t come again!

As they explored deeper, they unexpectedly triggered an Array.

This Array had no killing power, but it scattered them to different parts of the Secret Realm.

He and his Dao Companion, Cyan Spirit Zhenren, were separated!

And then...

He was ambushed by a fellow Cultivator and lost his life.

’Lingyun Immortal Sect, Jin Tianbo!’

A cold glint flashed in Xu Chang’an’s eyes.

Jin Tianbo, also known as Golden Cloud Zhenren!

For the sake of the Secret Realm’s opportunities, he had even launched a sneak attack! Though Xu Chang’an had been on his guard, he was already seriously injured and still fell victim to the treacherous blow.

A feud of life and death must be avenged!

He had only two goals for this trip to Canglan.

First, to avenge the life-and-death feud from his past life!

Second...

Xu Chang’an’s thoughts drifted for a moment.

Bright eyes and pearly teeth, fine brows over graceful eyes, skin like jade that outshone frost and snow, so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch.

A pair of slender, jade-like hands, soft as if without bone, with fingers like jade and nails painted a vibrant red.

As she took graceful, lotus-like steps, silver-chained earrings hanging to her delicate collarbones would sway.

This was his Dao Companion from his past life, Cyan Spirit Zhenren, Yin Nian.

Overflowing with Talent, she possessed a Celestial Spirit Root and, moreover, the Cyan Spirit Body!

As early as the Qi Refining Stage, she was hailed as a Nascent Soul Seed!

Back then, Xu Chang’an had only a Middle-Grade Spiritual Root and ordinary aptitude.

The gap between them was visibly immense!

However, certain things happened later on.

They brought the two into contact. Afterward, they went through hardships together, overcame many twists and turns, and formed a deep bond.

Finally, at Xu Chang’an’s Core Formation celebration, he confessed his feelings.

By then, Xu Chang’an had formed a Golden Core and also had hopes of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm!

The Sect no longer obstructed their union as it had before, and instead offered many blessings!

From then on, they became Dao Companions!

He had gone from a low-level junior cultivator to a Late-stage Core Formation Zhenren! From having ordinary aptitude and being looked down upon, he had ultimately won the beautiful woman’s hand!

If the events of his past life were laid out one by one, they could fill a book. With all his experiences, he could have been considered a legendary protagonist.

Well, if it weren’t for the part where he died at the end!

’Is she... doing alright?!’

Recalling the various events of his past life, Xu Chang’an’s heart filled with a rare warmth and eagerness.

Without further hesitation, he transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the horizon.

The Canglan Cultivation Realm was adjacent to the Qingyang Cultivation Realm.

The Storage Bags of the several Nascent Soul True Monarchs all contained Jade Scrolls with information about the Canglan Cultivation Realm.

Over one hundred and ten years had passed since Xu Chang’an began his new life of cultivation.

For ordinary mortals, over a century was a lifetime. But for a major power structure like the Cultivation Realm, it was barely a blip on the radar.

The power structure of the Canglan Cultivation Realm hadn’t changed much.

Canglan Hall was the hegemon of the Cultivation Realm, rumored to have a Divinity Transformation True Venerable in its ranks.

Immortal Mist Sect, Lingyun Immortal Sect, Hengjian Immortal Sect, and Liuyun Immortal Sect.

These Four Major Sects were the top four powers in the Canglan Cultivation Realm.

Below them were numerous other Sects and cultivation families.

Within the Four Major Sects, each one had at least one Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

For example, the Immortal Mist Sect, where Xu Chang’an had belonged in his past life, had nine Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the surface. One of them was a Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

And that was just what was publicly known!

In his past life, after Xu Chang’an formed his Golden Core, he was considered a reserve member of the Sect’s semi-core decision-making circle.

He was privy to some information.

Secretly, the number of hidden Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Sect was at least double that!

Most of these Nascent Soul Cultivators were out gaining experience and seeking opportunities. They rarely stayed within the Sect.

The depth of the Four Major Sects’ foundations was beyond what an ordinary Cultivator could ever imagine.

Xu Chang’an’s mortal enemy, Jin Tianbo.

Belonged to one of the four top Sects, the Lingyun Immortal Sect.

If Xu Chang’an wanted revenge, he would need to do some planning and put in some effort.

The two Cultivation Realms were extremely far apart, separated by hundreds of thousands of li.

An ordinary Cultivator could spend their entire life trying and still not be able to easily travel to the other Cultivation Realm.

However, this naturally didn’t apply to Great Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm.

A few months later, Xu Chang’an arrived in the Canglan Cultivation Realm.
