Chapter 849 - Steady Wind

Cultivators that came out of the Blue Profound Ruins could appear anywhere in the Desolation Jedi. After Yang Junshan came out, he immediately burrowed into the ground and opened up a cave, and hid and cultivated there for a few days.

At this time, various Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasureppeared one after another in Desolation Jedi, and the fighting between cultivators from various forces and different races for their Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures s became even more intense.

However, Yang Junshan turned a deaf ear to it, and did not waste time getting involved, he focused all of his energy on refining the Pure Spirit Celestial Qi in his body.

Under the circulation of the Nine Translator Arts, Yang Junshan realized that he had seemingly underestimated the speed at which nine man true energy could refine the Pure Spirit Fairies. Originally, he thought that it would take at most a year, at most half a year’s time to successfully advance to the Taihang Realm, but now it seemed that the time was going to be greatly shortened and it would be natural for him to advance to the Taihang Realm in at most half a year.

The Pure Spirit Qi was the origin of the Immortal Body that Huang Ting was able to condense, and in essence, it could already be considered a strand of Immortal Qi. The quality of the item was extremely high, and many low level cultivators would find it difficult to refine it, but it could not be denied that the higher the quality of the legacy cultivators used to cultivate, the faster they would be able to refine the strand of Pure Spirit Qi.

Ever since Yang Junshan obtained the Mountain Nine Translators’ Manual, although he had kept it a secret, he had never given up on guessing and verifying the rank of this inherited cultivation technique. The most obvious target of comparison was the “Heart Fire Red Lotus Art” that Yang Junhao cultivated.

Therefore, it could be said that he understood the full extent of this art. Yang Junhao could be considered a prodigy, but after the daily exchanges, Yang Junshan was completely sure that the rank of the Mountain Nine Flames Meridians was above the Red Lotus. Yang Junhao did not dare to underestimate this art.

He remembered that when Yang Junshan came to this conclusion, his heart was beating wildly with excitement, and he was secretly naturally overjoyed.

However, when he was at the everlasting dense forest, he found out from Ziyuan that the scarlet wooden cane on his body was most likely the Fire Elemental Treasure, Fusang Wood Branch. It could help a cultivator’s cultivation technique rank up by a level, which meant that the “Heart Fire Red Lotus Art” that Yang Junshan was cultivating in right now was already a low-grade Dao realm inheritance.

It was a good thing that Yang Junshan was relatively calm when he heard the news, and did not reveal any suspicious expression. If not, he did not know if Daoist Ziyuan would have taken any unhappy measures when he found out that he had a middle stage Dao Inheritance.

The refinement of the Pure Spirit Qi was progressing step by step, and Yang Junshan was able to allocatortion of his energy to refine the Primal Chaos Token in his Dantian.

Ever since he had obtained this item, other than a sentence that was initially engraved in his mind by a voice, he had been unable to obtain any other information from it.

Inside his dantian, the residual mace’s artifact spirit, the Pangolin, was constantly provoking the Primordius, but it still could not obtain any information from it.

“Is this really not a magic treasure?”

Yang Junshan had already asked the Pangolin more than once, and the disappointment in his voice could not be concealed.

“No!”

The Pangolin’s reply was resolute and decisive. “If it really is a magic treasure, it should be considered as having an artifact spirit. However, if this item has an artifact spirit, it can’t be hidden from me.”

“Then is it possible that it is the original body of a treasure that erased the artifact spirit, or perhaps the original body of a daoyin apparatus?”

Not only did Yang Junshan not give up, he even had higher expectations of him. The complex and profound patterns on the Primordius were exactly the same as the dao halves of the stone. If it really wareasure, he definitely would believe it to be a daoyin apparatus.

Don’t be delusional, “Pangolin said without hesitation.” This item may be related to the Dao Realm, but it’s definitely not a daoyin apparatus treasure. Did you see the profound patterns on the token?

Before, it was already very unhappy thaangolin took up the position of the center of the pangolin, but now, it had gained another object. This made the tiger spirit, who had always regarded the pangolin as its territory, very dissatisfied, but now, it was helpless, because it was not a match for the pangolin.

Even though he already knew the result, Yang Junshan still could not hide the disappointment on his face. He could only focus on the time he had obtained the Primordial Medallion, when that voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Compared to the anticipation Yang Junshan received from the Primordius, the information revealed by that voice had actually caught his attention even more. Especially the appearance of Patriarch Nine Nearby’s name;

If there was no surprise, the voice that directly sounded out in Yang Junshan’s mind should have been left behind by Grandmaster Cang Xuan. Furthermore, his words clearly indicated that he was inferior to Grandmaster Jiuren, and considered himself to be inferior to him.

One had to know that when Yang Junshan found out about Grandmaster Jiuren’s existence, he tried to find out about his background. Other than being certain that he was from Heaven-Shaken Sect, there were very few stories about him in the cultivation world.

Yang Junshan felt that it was strange. From the name of the Mountain Nine Transformations, it was obvious that this Dao Tier technique was created by Patriarch Jiuren, which was why he had named it after himself. However, to be able to create this kind of inheritance, no matter which sect in the cultivation world, they should all be famous.

At the very least, it was clear that the Great Divine Cultivatohousand years ago held him in high esteem. Even Grandmaster Cang Xuan, who was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, admitted that he was inferior. From this, it could be seen that this Grandmaster Jiuren was at least a peak existence that was not inferior to Grandmaster Cang Xuan, the Daofather Huang Ting.

However, for some reason, Patriarch Jiuren did not seem to have many achievements among the low level cultivators. On the contrary, he seemed to be very well-known among the Great Divine Cultivator.

As for the latter half of the message that Cang Xuan Ancestor left, Yang Junshan was a little confused, but he was certain that Grandmaster Cang Xuan did not seem to have succeeded in rising to the Immortal Realm in the end. Furthermore, it seemed that it wasn’t that he was weak, but rather he had been plotted against and died.

It seemed that even if one became an immortal, they might not necessarily be able to walk free and unfettered. They would still be unable to get rid of the swindlers. Furthermore, at that level, most of the time, they would just kill no blood.

Thinking about this Grandmaster Cang Xuan’s final words of warning, Yang Junshan couldn’t help but take out the formation notes written by the Grandmaster Cang Xuan himself from his storage treasure. He then turned them to a certain page in an extremely familiar manner, and once again carefully studied the records of a secret art inheritance.

“It’s an array stealing technique. Who would have thought that it was actually created by Grandmaster Cang Xuan in the beginning?”

When Yang Junshan was reading Ancestor Cang Xuan’s handwritten letter, he inadvertently discovered the record of the secret art of theft, as well as the process and history of how Ancestor Cang Xuan had created and used this secret art. He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, and say that Ancestor Cang Xuan was actually the true creator of the secret art of theft.

Thinking back to the time when the array theft technique was spread out in the cultivation world, it should be because of this set of array inheritance letters in the Blue Profound Ruins of the Desolation Jedi. It was just that he did not know who had obtained this manual back then, but it was very likely that they were people who did not know much, otherwise this array theft technique would not have been spread to the entire world.

Now that the letter had fallen into Yang Junshan’s hands, with Yang Junshan’s attainments in formations, he naturally knew the value of the object in his hands, so there was no possibility of it being leaked out.

Perhaps some of the experts in the art of array formations would be able to deduce one or two things from seeing Yang Junshan’s hands, but those were merely the basics of array theft. Even the array theft secret technique that Yang Junshan had mastered before seeing this manual could only be considered as an introduction, and the things that were recorded in the jade scrolls were the true profound array theft secret techniques.

In the past, Grandmaster Cang Xuan was known in the cultivation world as “Grandmaster Duo Bao”, so one could imagine how useful this secret art of Stealing could be.

Of course, what was recorded in this jade scrolls of Patriarch Cang Xuan could be said to be all-encompassing, and a complete array stealing technique was only one of the inheritances recorded in the jade scrolls. In fact, to Yang Junshan, the value of this jade scrolls was even more important than the complete inheritance of the two-way magnetic and magical light that he had obtained.

However, in reality, he had already reached a bottleneck in recent years. Although a grandmaster level formation master seemed to be only a step away from him, in reality, only he himself knew of the difficulties involved in taking this step.

However, now that he had obtained this scroll, not only did it contain detailed records of Grandmaster Cang Xuan’s formation experiences, it also contained a large number of experiments, as well as cases of laying down the formation, as well as the process of deducing the formation. It could be said that Yang Junshan’s obstacles in becoming a Grandmaster of the formation had been completely cleared, and the path he would take in the future had even been pointed out.

On this trip to the Desolation Jedi, although Yang Junshan had only obtained one Universe Stone from the twenty-four Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures, whether it was the Pure Spirit Immortal Qi, the two instruments of the Amethyst Light Inheritance, or the jade scroll and the two-way magnetic and magical light Inheritance, they were all worth as much as the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures, or maybe even more.

However, just as Yang Junshan was immersed in the joy of raising his cultivation level, the changes in the outside world caused him to be unable to help from temporarily stopping the refinement of the Pure Spirit Qi, because no matter who it was, they would not feel like nothing had happened if seven or eight rays of light flew past their heads.

When Yang Junshan emerged from the underground cave, he looked in the direction where the light had fled to. Wherever his eyes looked, he could see an enormous tornado connecting the heaven and earth of the Desolation Jedi!

In reality, this gust of wind was still around thirty to fifty kilometers away from Yang Junshan, but for the high order cultivator of the realms of life, it was extremely normal for it to affecadius of tens of kilometers. Furthermore, there were definitely not just a few cultivators that had gathered under this gust of wind, Yang Junshan did not want to be shocked into going berserk by others during the crucial moment of his closed door cultivation.

In fact, Yang Junshan had not even reached the vicinity of the tornado, and was already almost certain of the type of Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures that would cause such a commotion.

Only a heavenly treasure like the wind calming bead could cause such a large-scale phenomenon.

Yang Junshan could not help but sigh at his luck in his heart. Before, he had always searched for it but to no avail, but now, he clearly did not need this item anymore.

Yang Junshan did not control his light speed, he only moved slowly on the ground, moving extremely quickly. Compared to the other cultivators who were gathered near the Heavenly Wind Whirlwind, Yang Junshan’s mood was much calmer.

When he was abouundred meters away from the windstorm, Yang Junshan stopped in his tracks. In his line of sight, there were no less than fifteen cultivators who had currently gathered around the windstorm, and it was just that previously, he had experienced too many examples of people being besieged because of stealing treasures, so no one dared to step forward and take the treasure.

Most of the cultivators glanced at him, and upon discovering that he was only a Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator, they shifted their attention to him. However, there were a few gazes which constantly circled around him, and when Yang Junshan’s gaze met them, he saw that the face of Heavenly Dipper Realm’s cultivator, Master Zheng of the Purple Wind Sect, was filled with frost.

Yang Junshan looked behind him, and discovered that there was only one person following him, one less than when he was chasing after Yang Junshan. Yang Junshan thought that maybe the missing one had already fallen, or maybe he just died in Xu Tiancheng’s hands, so that was why this Zheng Zhen hated him to the bone?

It was just that he had never killed anyone from the Purple Wind Sect before.

But why did this person look at him with a sneer?

Yang Junshan’s heart moved as frost surged within his eyes. When he looked at his surroundings again, he actually discovered a few hidden silhouettes.

Among them, there were other cultivators that were ready to take action, but there were also a few Purple Wind Sect s, including at least three Adept Tai Gang s. More importantly, these Purple Wind Sect cultivators were not gathered together, but were scattered around the tornado, faintly forming a circle, surrounding all the cultivators that coveted the wind calming bead.

Could it be that the Purple Wind Sect wanted to catch all of the cultivators that were coveting the wind calming bead?

Although wind calming bead s were extremely restraining towards Feng Xing cultivators and the Purple Wind Sect was famous throughout the cultivation world for their bloodline, Purple Wind Sect was definitely not willing to let the wind calming bead fall into the hands of others. However, it was still a waste to try to catch all the cultivators that had gathered here in one fell swoop.

However, if they were just going to snatch the wind calming bead, then the people from Purple Wind Sect were indeed the strongest group, but to put up such a front was too big of a fuss, and also because of the conflict over the wind calming bead, it was extremely possible that they would miss out on the opportunity because they did not have enough time to help out.

Thinking about the sneer Daoist Master Zheng had given him, Yang Junshan suddenly realized that the Purple Wind Sect was scheming something. Compared to obtaining the wind calming bead, killing Ziyuan’s incarnation and cutting off her path of cultivation were the most important things, and Yang Junshan himself was afraid that she would catch hold of him and beat him up later on.

No matter how much wind calming bead restrains the wind element, only one will not be able to move the Purple Wind Sect’s powerful foundation, and a Taoist Hua Gai who stole the Purple Wind Sect’s inherited ability and is about to pass on the thunder tribulation is the true thorn in the side of the Purple Wind Sect!

They had calculated that if Ziyuan’s clone wanted to reach the Taoist Realm, she would need the help of the wind calming bead. However, Yang Junshan still had doubts in his mind, could it be that they did not know that Ziyuan’s clone had already entered the Blue Profound Ruins and obtained the Pure Spirit Qi?

Logically speaking, Xiao Xianger should have already known about Ziyuan’s transformation into a Spirit Cleansing Qi after leaving the Extinction Domain a few days ago, so she should know that Ziyuan’s transformation should no longer require wind calming bead to advance into a Daoist Realm. Then why would she put on such a front?

Yang Junshan’s eyes flickered, he could not understand the cause and danger behind it. He rolled his eyes, and used his sleeves to hiday of light that shot into the ground beneath his feet, then revealed a look of uncertainty and timidity, and retreated back of three li. This distance could guarantee Yang Junshan’s escape the moment he realised something was amiss, and at the same time, he would not be surrounded by the Purple Wind Sect.

Yang Junshan’s departure once again attracted a few disdainful gazes, the face of the Purple Wind Sect’s Spiritual Master Zheng became even gloomier, but he did not make any other movements, obviously not wanting to ruin the situation the Purple Wind Sect had secretly set up for him alone.

Yang Junshan became more and more assured, and at the same time, a few more light beams descended from the sky. Right now, the amount of cultivators gathering in the surrounding area was increasing, and although no one was making a move, the atmosphere was becoming more and more oppressive, as a large battle was about to erupt, or perhaps it was just a small fuse.

And then, under the shocked and confused gazes of many people, a small fluctuation of spiritual energy came from the previously empty area. An earthen yellow light suddenly exploded from the ground, and a bead that flickered with spiritual light crashed into the tornado at an unfavorable speed under the gazes of many high-level cultivators.

Magic tool, that earthen yellow bead was actually a mid-grade magic tool!

After placing down twenty of the spirit cultivators, the one with the lowest cultivation level was Heavenly Dipper Realm, but right now, in front of everyone’s eyes, the first thing they were going to do was actually a magical equipment!

What made them even more speechless was that, perhaps because of the unexpected appearance of this magical artifact, none of the dozens of people present actually moved to stop it!

This joke was made so funny that people didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!

Dozens of gazes looked at the place where the magic tool had first appeared. Countless strands of spiritual consciousness instantly swept over that empty space, even bringing about waves of cold wind. However, in the end, none of them were able to detect it.

Only Spiritual Master Zheng seemed to have sensed something, as he looked towards the distant Yang Junshan. Even though the place the artifact wasn’t where Yang Junshan was standing previously, it was only a few dozen meters away.

“Ding!” A crisp sound came out from the wind, pulling everyone’s attention back to where they were standing!

Everyone had instantly forgotten about the item just now, because after this sound, the huge tornado immediately became chaotic, the magical equipment actually accurately caught and hit the wind calming bead, and then a fist sized green bead was knocked out of the tornado, flying straight towards the location of Master Zheng.

“This is bad…”

“Be careful…”

“Do it…”

In an instant, all sorts of roars, sound transmissions, spirit light glows, sacred art rumbles and light treasures were released. Spiritual Master Zheng and another Heavenly Dipper cultivator beside him were instantly drowned in these magnificent colors, the two Heavenly Dipper cultivators did not even have the time to think of how to deal with the incoming wind calming bead s, and all traces of their existence were erased from this world.
