Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 827 - 325: Elder Lei Never Comes Back Empty-Handed (Double - )

Seeing Fu Dongsen being so cautious, he appears somewhat unlike a top expert like Huang Xuanpu...Forget it, let fate take its course; it’s fine as long as I’m not deployed in vain...

Lei Jun remained calm, continuing to wait patiently.

......

North bank of the Grand River.

Two human race experts quietly crossed the Heavenly Chasm of the Grand River.

Their cultivation in Spiritual Energy was profound, unlike Great Demons who would trigger violent reactions in the Spiritual Energy of the Grand River and Rivers.

The Spiritual Energy of the Grand River soared skyward, though tumultuous and fierce, the cultivation of this man and woman was profound, allowing them to currently remain unharmed.

The two were not people of the Great Tang Dynasty but came from another mortal realm.

Two Taoist experts from another mortal realm.

Shang Nan and Xue Xingzi.

"Has your sect’s Ziwei Sword resurfaced?" Shang Nan inquired.

Xue Xingzi’s expression was slightly serious and she nodded gently: "My intuition should not be mistaken."

She looked somewhat wistfully at the upstream west of the Grand River: "The disciples of Mount Shu here do not cherish the sect’s great treasures!"

Shang Nan smiled: "The world is ever-changing and unpredictable, but precisely because of this, Taoist friend, there is hope that you can reclaim this supreme treasure of Mount Shu..."

Xue Xingzi: "What Taoist brother said is very true."

Shang Nan’s gaze followed hers towards the upstream direction of the Grand River in the west: "Speaking of which, the Mount Shu Sect in the Great Tang Realm later crafted four remarkable magical treasures, once more standing alongside the Purple Azure Twin Swords, investing considerable thought into them."

In ancient times, the Mount Shu Alliance further merged to establish the Mount Shu Sect.

Multiple founding elders stood together, jointly establishing the foundation of Mount Shu.

As the long years passed, the most renowned undeniably was Bai Mei the first sect leader of Mount Shu, even regarded by many later generations as the founding ancestor of Mount Shu.

The Purple Azure Twin Swords left by him became the treasure protecting the sect, passed down to this day.

At the time, other esteemed seniors from various Daoist Artifact Refining sects who joined in the founding also left treasures.

Back then, alongside the Purple Azure Twin Swords, there were six pieces in total.

However, apart from the Purple Azure Twin Swords, the other four disappeared during the late Han Dynasty.

Successive generations of Mount Shu disciples in the Great Tang Realm have crafted four powerful magical treasures: the Taiyi Primordial Tower, Qingxiao Manor, South Bright Separation Fire Cauldron, and North Abyss Divine Spear, once again standing alongside the Purple Azure Twin Swords as the Six Harmonies Treasure, their renown enduring to this day.

However, earlier the Ziwei Sword was accidentally lost.

"The Emperor once said, apart from the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot, the original six great treasures of the sect disappeared towards the end of the Han Dynasty."

Xue Xingzi slowly said: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, time and space must have undergone significant changes, leading to the emergence of not just one mortal realm. As currently known, our sect’s six founding treasures scattered across different mortal realms."

Shang Nan pondered: "The Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot is in our Great Ming Mortal Realm, the Purple Azure Twin Swords are here in the Great Tang Realm, and the other three treasures’ whereabouts are unknown.

There may be other mortal realms, or they might have dispersed somewhere within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

He paused briefly and then looked towards the direction of Dragon Tiger Mountain: "The sacred land ancestral courtyard of the talisman sect, the Celestial Master Mansion, houses the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures and the Altar of Wanfa Sect, all located within the Great Tang Realm."

Xue Xingzi: "The Emperor is currently occupied, so we can only temporarily set aside matters concerning the Celestial Master Mansion. If we can find our sect’s Ziwei Sword first, it would undoubtedly be a great fortune, beneficial for our future endeavors."

Shang Nan: "If the Ziwei Sword truly emerges, we might face considerable competition."

Xue Xingzi nodded: "Fu Daoist, and... the branch of our sect on the Tang side."

Without waiting for Shang Nan’s question, Xue Xingzi candidly replied: "I have not personally encountered the Ziwei Sword in the past, relying solely on some foundational knowledge of the sect, so clues are scarce. Facing Fu Daoist and others, we might fall behind for now but can only attempt as best we can."

Shang Nan: "As long as we locate the right place, being slightly late is not an issue."

Xue Xingzi nodded gently.

Shang Nan continued: "Speaking of which, your sect’s branch on the Tang side crafted four remarkable magical treasures later on, which are quite extraordinary."

Xue Xingzi calmly nodded: "Indeed, although I have not personally encountered them, from what I’ve heard these four treasures are truly exceptional, especially the Taiyi Primordial Tower and Qingxiao Manor. With their ingenious design, though they may not surpass the Purple Azure Twin Swords in offense, their myriad wonders certainly justify their position as the upper and lower treasures among the Six Harmonies."

Shang Nan: "I heard that Qingxiao Manor is currently lost and ownerless, while the Taiyi Primordial Tower is with the Northern Black Emperor and Fu Daoist..."

Xue Xingzi: "Let’s focus on the Ziwei Sword for now."

The two exchanged a glance, both slowly nodding.

......

At the summit where the ancestral courtyard of the Mount Shu Sect is located.

Zhang Dongyuan saluted the sect leader Zhang Taigang, the uncle Xu Duan, and apprentice brother Ye Dongming before him: "Sect Leader Zhang, Elder Xu, and Apprentice Brother Ye, please stay behind, we are about to leave."

Behind him, two high merit elders of the Mount Shu Sect in the Seventh Heavenly Layer realm, He Dongxing and Ji Dongquan, made the same action.

Zhang Taigang and Ye Dongming returned the gesture: "Elder He, Elder Ji, and Uncle Zhang, please be cautious on your journey, we hope you can successfully reclaim our sect’s supreme treasure, the Ziwei Sword."

A faint blue sword light seemed to flicker on Zhang Dongyuan’s body.

Originating from another founding treasure of the Mount Shu Sect, the flying sword, Blue Abyss Sword.

Indeed, Mount Shu has never given up hope of retrieving the Ziwei Sword, making great efforts over the years.

Recently, the Blue Abyss Sword, originally of the same origin as the Ziwei Sword, managed to sense its presence, and combined with the assistance of other magic artifacts and magical treasures of Mount Shu, they finally derived clues to locate the Ziwei Sword.

With excitement, they soon made arrangements for Zhang Dongyuan to carry the Blue Abyss Sword and set out with He Dongxing and Ji Dongquan to seek the Ziwei Sword.

Sect Leader Zhang Taigang and two other high merit elders in the Eightfold Heaven realm, Xu Duan and Ye Dongming, remained at the gates with the North Abyss Divine Spear and South Bright Separation Fire Cauldron to await further news and take action.
