Chapter 308: Golden Palace Radiant Origin Manual

Hearing him mention something the way of Great Compassion and Joyous Lotus, Lu Jiangxian immediately understood that this person was a Buddhist cultivator, potentially a Dharma Master who was as powerful as a Golden Core Realm immortal cultivator. He was secretly shocked but knew nothing much of the relationships between these Revered Ones and Dao Embryos.

Wanting to coax this Maha into revealing more information, he merely sneered and snorted coldly, "Heh!"

Maha Jinlian was greatly alarmed, thinking to himself, Indeed... this is an immortal. Even a Revered One comparable to a Dao Embryo is just a junior in front of him... This spells trouble...

He knocked his head to the ground repeatedly, begging loudly for mercy. Lu Jiangxian glanced at him and sneered. "I have been out of the world for a long time... Now, even such riffraff dares to spy on me!"

Lu Jiangxian originally intended to boast about being away for millennia, but realizing that too many words could cause mistakes, he decided to speak vaguely. Maha Jinlian observed the ancient patterns on the ground, feeling a sense of age, and thought to himself, I have never seen this... it must be at least a thousand years old! No wonder... No wonder!

In his heart, he cursed, How long did this old monster seclude himself to miss such cataclysmic events? No wonder he is still in the world... It's my misfortune to encounter such an old monster...

Maha Jinlian fawningly smiled, slapped his own face twice, and bowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Exalted Immortal... Since the upheaval sixteen hundred years ago, even Revered Ones and Dao Embryos have disappeared. This humble monk meant no offense... Please have mercy, Exalted Immortal!"

Lu Jiangxian reclined at the top as he listened, slowly furrowing his brows. He had heard that a war between the immortals and devils had taken place fifteen or sixteen hundred years ago. His heart was stirred, and he thought, There is indeed a problem. Given the nature of these Purple Mansion Golden Core Daoists and Mahas Dharma Masters, there must be an issue behind this Immortal-Devil War...

He shook his head slightly, feigning confusion as he said, "Upheaval? I have been out of the world for a long time and sensed vaguely that something was amiss..."

Maha Jinlian nodded repeatedly, answering, "The Heavenly Dao encountered problems, and the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations dissipated... You should have felt it too, Exalted Immortal. Since then, there have been no restrictions, no disasters or difficulties. We, who were imprisoned by Heaven and Earth for millions of years, finally gained great freedom and great enlightenment..."

Great freedom... Great enlightenment...

These words thundered in Lu Jiangxian's mind, stirring waves of thoughts within him. He kept his face calm and nodded subtly, his face blurring.

The time of one incense stick is almost up... Lu Jiangxian thought as he felt slightly anxious, knowing that he did not have enough time to delve into these matters further.

"Golden Palace Radiant Origin Manual, a Grade Four cultivation technique... The immortal foundation it forms is called the Radiant Origin Pass. Although the required Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is somewhat difficult to gather, it comes with a corresponding method for gathering qi. This immortal foundation was once cultivated by the northern immortal sects, and there is no inheritance of it in Jiangnan. This is perfect! The only problem is..."

Lu Jiangxian sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless.

This technique only reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm and stops at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, with no further path to the Purple Mansion Realm.

With a light flick of his sleeve, he conjured a golden book in his hand. Lu Jiangxian took up his brush and transcribed the Golden Palace Radiant Origin Manual, flipping through a few pages.

He then placed it alongside the shamanic spell book and murmured, "I will bestow this upon the generation of Xi and Yue. No matter what, this is still a better choice than those Grade Three techniques or any technique that has already produced a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator. Li Tongya has already been targeted by one... continuing to cultivate the River One Qi Technique is a bad move."

Lu Jiangxian understood well that if a Li Family cultivator achieved an immortal foundation and died, regardless of the distance, all their cultivation would be absorbed by him. This was verified by Li Chejing, which directly led to Chi Wei's failure to break through.

"In other words, no matter who is targeting Li Tongya, they will eventually fail. They will not be able to refine divine abilities for that Purple Mansion Realm and will have to find another Boundless Ocean to devour. If the disciples from the Li Family continue to cultivate this technique, they will just die prematurely... one after another. After three or five cases, a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator will definitely grow suspicious, and that would be troublesome..."

Having made so much progress in planning the future of the Li Family after a long period of idleness, Lu Jiangxian felt exhausted. He was inherently a lazy and unmotivated person. Placing the Golden Palace Radiant Origin Manual before him to avoid forgetting it, he then drifted back into his dreams.

Minghui had been waiting on the ground for the duration of one incense stick. Seeing Maha Jinlian's small face covered in cold sweat and occasionally trembling, it was clear he was under a spell.

Minghui's face turned mournful, and he lamented in his heart, It's over... It's over... That immortal cultivator must be more than just a Golden Core Realm cultivator! Now even Master might lose his life...

Raised by Maha Jinlian from a young age, despite his Master's volatile temper and frequent beatings, he had taught him many things and personally awakened his wisdom. Minghui held this kindness deeply in his heart. At this moment, he was filled with both sorrow and self-blame, crying out in anguish.

Unexpectedly, Maha Jinlian, with a vacant expression, opened his eyes, looking as if he had just awoken from a long dream. He frowned upon seeing him and said, "Minghui, didn't I send you to escort Lord Murong? Why have you returned so soon?"
