Chapter 1525: Great Divine Techniques

Celestial Monarch Mountain was incredibly vast. Even though the Celestial Monarch River was exceptionally wide, it still seemed insignificant compared to the entire Spirit Mountain. A Market was situated halfway up the mountain, while the peak was covered in pristine white snow, resembling the white hair of an old man in his twilight years. Beneath this snow lay the number one dojo of the Southern Wilderness Province—State Governor Liu’s Monarch Sword Dojo.

State Governor Liu’s Daoist name was originally Celestial Monarch. However, upon reaching a certain age, he realized that all Cultivators in the world—even those at the Nascent Soul stage—were far too insignificant compared to heaven and earth. Thus, he changed his Daoist name to Monarch Sword. Of course, because his status as a State Governor of the Righteous Sect was far more noble than his identity as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, most Cultivators still respectfully referred to him as Lord Governor.

At this moment, Nascent Soul Cultivators were gathered within the dojo. Aside from the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the five great Nascent Soul Powers, Mansion Master Xiao, Prince Wang, and State Governor Liu were also present. This was the Nascent Soul Trading Conference that followed the grand Nascent Soul gathering. It served as a banquet to settle past grievances, a trading event, and a handover ceremony for the updated Mansions. Of course, at this time, Mansion Master Xiao had to be respectfully addressed as Xiao Zhumu, and as for Prince Wang, he no longer needed to be addressed with the “Mansion Master” title.

“Everyone, the Profound Celestial Demon Sect is growing restless, and the various Sects in the Central Domain are also showing signs of turbulence. Every Divinity Transformation expert wants to expand their territory and find Spatial Nodes. Therefore, our Nascent Soul Powers must unite and work together to protect the Sect’s Southern Wilderness Province,” State Governor Liu said, picking up a Bronze Wine Cup and looking at the crowd.

“Consider this wine a toast from this State Governor.

“After all, our Southern Wilderness Province now has one more Nascent Soul Cultivator. In the future, when facing those old demons of the Nanman Province, our chances of winning will be even greater. Even if we enter the Earth Immortal Realm later on, we might be able to look out for one another.”

Ye Jingcheng and the others raised their cups in succession. The wine in their cups was none other than the Cyan Dragon Brew that Ye Jingcheng had tasted before. Naturally, while the wine vessels were not small, the wine inside was only a customary shallow layer. Cyan Dragon Brew was so precious that even State Governor Liu did not have much of it.

After taking a sip of the wine, Liuyun True Monarch and True Monarch Liu Yuan both relaxed their brows, as if much of the gloom in their hearts had dissipated. Regarding the current Mansions, although the Liu Family still held three, the high-grade Tianshu Mansion had been swapped for a low-grade one, which was a considerable loss. The Liuyun Sect had actually suffered the greatest loss, but there was nothing they could do. Their strength was the lowest to begin with, and they had no background in the Righteous Sect.

However, just as State Governor Liu had said, the current situation between the Southern Wilderness Province and the Nanman Province was quite unstable. If a conflict broke out, Nascent Soul Cultivators like them who reaped the profits from the Mansion Markets would not be allowed to leave. Having an extra Nascent Soul Cultivator now naturally brought an extra measure of stability.

Furthermore, the strength displayed by the Ye Family was entirely beyond what a newly advanced Nascent Soul Clan could compare to. It was entirely possible that they would surpass the Profound Puppet Sect and the Liu Family in the future. Coupled with the fact that Ye Jingcheng was extremely close to the Blood Red Faction, the crowd could not help but feel a bit of envy and awe toward him.

“Qianchen Daoist, you have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. I believe you still have some areas of confusion. Let us start with a sharing session to exchange our insights,” State Governor Liu said again after drinking the Spirit Wine. He then took the lead in sharing.

It had to be said that State Governor Liu’s preaching was of an extremely high caliber. Even though Ye Jingcheng was not a Sword Cultivator, he still benefited immensely. Although the Ye Family possessed quite a few inheritances, their insights were ultimately shallow. For example, the Purple Mansion nurtured treasures, the Golden Core nurtured techniques, and at the Nascent Soul stage, one could truly evolve Small Divine Techniques into Great Divine Techniques, which had infinite marvelous uses.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was particularly moved. The fusion of his five Lifebound Divine Techniques was essentially the perfection of one Great Divine Technique. Moreover, his Five Elements Divine Techniques could definitely be considered top-tier among Great Divine Techniques.

After State Governor Liu finished speaking, the other Nascent Soul Cultivators also began to share their insights one after another. Ye Jingcheng gained somewhat from all of them.

After the Nascent Soul sharing session came the trading conference. However, during the trade, the Essence Blood that Ye Jingcheng wanted to exchange for was still nowhere to be found. As for Tier Five Advancing Pill Spirit Medicine, others either didn’t have any or only had what Ye Jingcheng already possessed. Even when Ye Jingcheng brought out a Spiritual Peach capable of extending one’s life by a hundred years, he still failed to exchange for the treasures he wanted. In the end, he only managed to trade for a few Tier Five Spirit Materials, gathering a bit more material for his Tier Five Lifebound Magical Treasure. Ye Jingcheng’s Black Tortoise Shell was now only lacking the carapace of a Tier Five Demon Emperor.

Meanwhile, the Junhe Prefecture’s Treasure Tower was established right beneath the dojo. The entire tower radiated soaring golden light and vigorous energy, appearing exceptionally animated and extraordinary. At this moment, Ye Jing Hu, Ye Yunxi, and the others were following Mansion Master Liu of the Junhe Prefecture inside.

Mansion Master Liu was precisely a descendant of State Governor Liu. Of course, although he was the Mansion Master, his authority within the entire Junhe Prefecture was quite a bit smaller, as State Governor Liu resided on Celestial Monarch Mountain on a daily basis.

“Everyone, we will skip the first and second layers directly. I also urge you all not to activate your Divine Sense to inspect the surroundings,” Mansion Master Liu said, remaining rather polite toward the group.

Even though they were all Golden Core Cultivators whose Cultivation was slightly lower than his, they were all under two hundred years old and were the Cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Province most likely to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Potential stars like Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi, in particular, earned a fair bit of his respect. However, rules were rules, and the laws of the Righteous Sect were exceptionally ruthless. If they were truly broken, not even the direct descendants of a Nascent Soul Power could escape punishment.

“Naturally,” Ye Jing Hu, Liu Yuansheng, and the others replied.

Hearing this, Mansion Master Liu felt much more at ease and led them up to the fourth floor. The treasures here were all placed within Spirit Discs. The Spirit Discs were linked to a Spirit Gathering Array, ensuring that not only would the Spiritual Energy of these treasures not diminish, but they would even receive a nurturing effect.

“This horn…” Ye Jing Hu was the first to spot a Thunder Rhino Horn, immediately taking a great liking to it.

“This is the horn of a Tier Four Peak Thunder Rhinoceros Celestial Beetle Demon King,” Mansion Master Liu introduced.

“Then I want this treasure!” Ye Jing Hu was currently lacking just one piece of refining Spirit Materials for his Lifebound Magical Treasure, and this item was perfectly suitable.

Ultimately, Ye Yunxi chose a Silver Needle Treasure set. The set contained exactly twelve silver needles, all of which were Water Attribute Treasures at the Tier Four High Grade. This alone was enough to show the generosity of the entire Southern Wilderness Province; they hadn’t just carelessly taken out some random treasures to fool them.

Compared to Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi’s swift selections, the other Cultivators were much slower. The Ye Family actually possessed quite a few treasures, so it was obvious what they were lacking. The other Golden Core Cultivators, however, hesitated for a long time before making their decisions. They spent a full hour selecting before they each withdrew.

About thirty thousand miles south of the Tianshu Mansion, there was the Double Hill Spirit Peak. In the very beginning, this hill was obscure and nameless, merely a peak containing a Tier One High-Grade Spiritual Vein. At this moment, however, the peak was surrounded by layered clouds and surging seas of mist, with the two hills having long since transformed into towering giant peaks. Spirit Birds could faintly be seen flying above, and Spiritual Energy was abundant.

This peak was known precisely as Ye Talisman Mountain. The Cultivator currently acting as the Guardian of Ye Talisman Mountain was Ye Jingtting. But at this moment, she suddenly noticed numerous Spiritual Ships flying in from the surroundings. Most of these were Tier Four Spiritual Ships, alongside quite a few Tier Three Spiritual Ships. There were even many Tier Two and Tier One Spiritual Ships. This prompted Ye Jingtting to continuously issue commands via Transmission, raising the Arrays high and placing all Cultivators under strict lockdown.
