Chapter 435: Yantian Sect's Secret Treasure

"He has great abilities, and his luck is at a thriving stage. If he is allowed in, he will most likely find the inheritance."

Yan Jing, who arrived later, was a little worried. He looked at the Yantian Sect's dojo with a bit of awe in his eyes.

I admire Chu Tai for being able to cultivate to this level in less than sixty years, but I am also afraid of his talent and luck. It is too dangerous to go against such a person.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yi naturally knew his child's worries and advised: "His Taiyi Immortal Sect's luck may be helpful in other places, but it is not applicable in Yantian Sect."

"how you said that?"

Taoist Yuntian was also a little curious. Yan Yi was an old senior in the world of cultivation. He had been reincarnated once before and had practiced for more than two thousand years in this life. His cultivation was considered to be at the first level among the fourth-grade celestial beings. He was also proficient in the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and had made great achievements in divination, deduction, and formations.

Therefore, among all the people present, Yan Yi is the person most likely to discover the secret of Yantian Sect.

“I saw darkness.”

Taoist Yuntian was somewhat dissatisfied with Yan Yi's answer, but before he could speak, he heard Yan Yi say, "A darkness belonging to a foreign land. A darkness filled with countless fragments of Taoist fruits from foreign lands."

"So, it's actually very dangerous in there?"

Yan Jing's question did not receive a clear answer.

"I do not know."

Yan Yi looked at his daughter, his pupils turned dark, making everyone who was being looked at feel fear.

"What I said before is all I have seen. My eyes have also been affected by this, but I am not sure whether it is dangerous or not. The only thing that is certain is that after entering, the fate of Taiyi Xianmen will be greatly suppressed, and may even be targeted."

"Then I'll wait outside."

At the same time that Taoist Yuntian made the decision, Shao Siming also fell into endless darkness.

This is the purest darkness. Apart from the concept of darkness, Shao Siming can feel nothing. He can't see anything in front of his eyes, his ears can't hear any sound, his nose can't smell any odor, and even his skin can't feel the subtle changes in the outside world.

Unable to escape, unable to move, even Chu Tai's strength became very weak and intermittent in this environment.

Chu Tai in Jinhua Cave Heaven stood up and looked in the direction of Yantian Sect with a hint of shock in his eyes.

It was the first time he had seen a power similar to that of "Lord in the Clouds". The two were different in essence, but they had certain overlaps in terms of covering up, concealing, and hiding.

He wanted to investigate further, but was blocked by the darkness and could not see the subsequent changes.

But Chu Tai is not alone, nor is he a casual cultivator; he has the inheritance of a sect behind him.

A large amount of information flashed through Chu Tai's mind, and he quickly found some ways to deal with it. When the connection became weaker, he contacted Shao Siming.

After receiving the instructions, Shao Siming immediately maintained his own mind and began to imagine the state of an unborn fetus, existing in the boundless chaos and darkness, returning to the care of the mother's body, resting quietly, accumulating, and growing...

In this state, Shao Siming's essence began to manifest itself, originating from the Dharma body of the Lotus Mother, from the Tianfu Jade Lotus of Daluo Heaven, and from the vital energy of heaven and earth in this great heaven.

The three intertwined in the darkness and gradually converged together.

During this period, the small spell of "All Good Things Are Fulfilled" once again played some role. This spell, which originated from Jiuliu Zhenjun, also played a certain lubricating role when facing the collision of the three essences.

It’s a pity that the status and power of the darkness around are obviously higher.

Chu Tai could feel that the atmosphere in the darkness was changing, and everything was becoming quiet. The three essences of Shao Siming were also affected by this change during the fusion process, and fell into a state similar to [stillness].

"Autumn orchids and elms, Luosheng in the hall..."

Chu Tai decisively recited "Shao Siming" in a low voice, and a faint green light emerged, resonating with the essence of Shao Siming.
Concepts such as gestation, revival, and rebirth gradually collide with the silence, tranquility, and emptiness hidden in the darkness.

As the two were in a stalemate, the foreign dharma bodies, the treasures of Daluo Heaven and the local vitality began to blend and change again and again, generation after generation, just like the process of evolution, mutation and selection of life, constantly updating and adapting to each other, until finally blending together.

During the whole process, Chu Tai gently struck the Donghuang Bell again and again. The slight shaking that was almost invisible to the naked eye brought about an almost imperceptible bell sound.

But it was this faint bell sound that stimulated Shao Siming's consciousness, which was sinking in endless darkness. It was also under these repeated stimulations that Shao Siming's consciousness began to expand upward and outward, like a baby bird about to break out of its shell.

“I am…”

Shao Siming moved her body, and a faint emerald green light danced around her, illuminating the area around her.

'This is……'

Shao Siming looked around and saw countless bone fragments, stone slabs, bronze tripods, stone pillars, silk cloth, bamboo slips, paper, and parchment scrolls floating in the air. The surface of each of these things was covered with dense and strange patterns, layer upon layer, in a very chaotic manner.

Shao Siming wanted to read but was interrupted by a figure.

"If I were you, I wouldn't think of observing those things. Your new consciousness is not suitable for contact with those things."

Shao Siming turned around and saw a figure wearing a black robe and hidden in the darkness. Judging from his exposed fingers and some white "beard" on his chest, he was probably an elderly man.

But when Shao Siming withdrew his gaze, all previous cognition disappeared, as if this person did not exist.

Only Chu Tai, who contacted Shao Siming again, felt something was wrong. While under the Donghuang Bell, he could feel the other party's breath and recall the other party's appearance, but he suspected that when he left the protection of the Donghuang Bell, he would probably gradually forget the other party's appearance.

"who are you?"

Chu Tai asked through Shao Siming's mouth. The figure was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "I thought you only got a little inheritance from Jiuliu, but now it seems that Jiuliu deliberately passed on one of his fundamental spells to you, and your aura..."

Facing the figure's irrelevant answer, Shao Siming spoke again: "Do you know Jiuliu Zhenjun?"

"Natural understanding."

After the figure responded, he was silent for a while before whispering, "If we were in the Pure and Eternal Blessing Heaven (the Immortal Manifestation Heaven), he and I would both be one of the Twelve True Lords. My title should be the Secret Treasure of Zhixu Dao, but now my correct title should be the Secret Treasure of Yantian Sect."

Chu Tai was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is the difference between the two?"

"The Secret Treasure of Zhixu Dao is the True Lord who guards the secrets of Qingjing Yongfu Datian, while the Secret Treasure of Yantian Sect guards the secrets of Yantian Sect."

As Master Mi Zang spoke, he walked forward to Shao Siming and pointed at the bone fragments, stone slabs, bronze tripod, stone pillars, silk cloth, bamboo slips, paper, and parchment scrolls beside him.

"These are the messages that Jade Calendar Master of your Great Heaven cut off from the soul of Secret Treasure Master of Zhixu Dao. All those who observed and interpreted them had a bad ending. At least none of the cultivators of Yantian Sect survived. The essence of Secret Treasure Master was refined by several cultivators of Yantian Sect into me, a living Sutra Repository."

"So, you have the inheritance of Yantian Sect in your hands?"

Shao Siming looked at Master Mi Zang and his eyes lit up.
