Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 373 The Four Symbols Compass
The Taiping Sect, with its clear and bright spiritual energy, has not yet been affected by the chaos of the outside world.

On Muyu Island, Jiang Chen returned with a full load. But the moment he stepped into Qingxin Xiaozhu, he saw that figure again. He was still tall and imposing, but compared to the past, he had a more iron-blooded air about him.

"Jiang Chen greets Senior."

With his mind focused, Jiang Chen bowed deeply to the newly returned Daoist Yuan Gang.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang Daoist turned his gaze over and carefully examined Jiang Chen. A slight smile appeared on his usually stern face.

"Your essence, energy, and spirit are all complete, truly excellent. Now you are only one Impermanence Flower away from laying a superior foundation for the Dao."

With a hidden glint in his eyes, Daoist Yuan Gang saw through Jiang Chen's background at a glance.

After refining the Qian Yuan Bone-Changing Pill and the Vajra Fruit, Jiang Chen's original shortcomings have been made up.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen bowed again in gratitude, since both treasures were bestowed upon him by Daoist Yuan Gang.

Seeing Jiang Chen like this, Daoist Yuan Gang waved his hand.

"I gave you the item, but it is your ability to make it this effective."

"My lifespan is nearing its end. My purpose in leaving the sect this time is twofold: first, to settle past grievances, and second, to bring you, a promising talent, back with me. Now that my cultivation is complete, it is time for me to return. Take care of your own affairs as soon as possible, and then come back to the sect with me."

A murderous aura emanated from him, and Yuan Gang Daoist gave his explanation.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was not surprised and nodded. He had been preparing for these things all along, and now only some loose ends remained to be finished.

"Yes, senior, I will take care of these miscellaneous matters as soon as possible. However, some troubles have occurred in Nan Jing Kingdom recently, and I need some more time to deal with them."

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen stated his position: Nan Jing Kingdom was too small and no longer offered him much assistance. However, regarding matters of the divine path, he intended to leave behind a seed.

Hearing this, Daoist Yuan Gang didn't say much. However, when Jiang Chen was about to turn around and leave to make arrangements, Daoist Yuan Gang spoke up again.

"The Four Symbols Daoist's inheritance is very special. You do not have the Four Symbols Body and are not the chosen one. Even if you obtain the relevant inheritance, do not cultivate it. At most, you can refer to it. Over the years, cultivators who have cultivated the Four Symbols inheritance have basically not had a good ending. They stirred up disasters and eventually died in disasters."

With a deep, resonant voice, Daoist Yuan Gang gave a word of advice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly startled and wanted to say something, but Yuan Gang Daoist waved his hand to interrupt him. Everyone has secrets, and he had no intention of delving into them. He knew that Jiang Chen had considerable good fortune, but which genius didn't? Not to mention others, he himself was a good example.

Seeing Yuan Gang Daoist like this, Jiang Chen said nothing more and turned to leave the courtyard.

He did have some secrets, but there was nothing to hide from Daoist Yuan Gang. Two Purple Mansion Treasures and one Earth Treasure were indeed of low value, but they probably meant nothing to Daoist Yuan Gang.

For Jiang Chen, his greatest secret is actually his soul.

"To be able to obtain these things at the Qi Refining stage, this little guy's methods and destiny are quite remarkable."

"The Four Symbols inheritance surprised me somewhat. I originally thought that this place only had one scattered inheritance, which would at most stop at the Purple Mansion level and not amount to much. But I didn't expect that a Four Symbols seed has actually emerged. Could it be that the true inheritance of the Four Symbols Daoist is about to appear in the world?"

After Jiang Chen left, Yuan Gang Daoist observed the heavens and the qi (vital energy) and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The Four Symbols Daoist's origins are quite mysterious. He has established lineages in many places. Because his cultivation method is related to calamities, each appearance of him causes quite a stir. If the core lineage of the Four Symbols Daoist really appears in Yu Huan Continent, it will be a problem for the Impermanence Sect. "Forget it, I'd better not get involved in the Four Symbols lineage for now. Even if the Four Symbols lineage really appears, others will naturally handle it."

Shaking his head, Yuan Gang Daoist stopped thinking about it and withdrew his gaze.

On the other side, the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire rotated, giving rise to creation, and Lu Xuanping's originally nearly decayed body returned to normal.

"What's going on? Why did I have a bad feeling just now?"

Opening his eyes and looking up at the sky, Lu Xuanping frowned. This place was already far away from Huoyuan City, so in theory he shouldn't be being watched.

"Is it an illusion?"

After carefully sensing the situation and confirming that the ominous feeling had completely dissipated, Lu Xuanping slowly withdrew his gaze.

"No matter what, my family's great grudge has finally been avenged, and the souls of my family members can finally rest in peace."

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lu Xuanping calmed his mind.

Using himself as bait, and relying on his inherited general principles and the Four Symbols Body, he successfully outmaneuvered Chen Yongzu, not only avenging the destruction of his family but also seizing Chen Yongzu's foundation and further perfecting himself.

"By turning my fortunes around and seizing Chen Yongzu's foundation, I have finally completed the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Manual. It is no longer a fragmented version. In addition, the divine power of the Four Symbols Body has been further stimulated, and my path of cultivation is now smooth sailing."

Looking inward at himself, and seeing his Dao foundation that had already undergone transformation, Lu Xuanping felt a surge of joy.

He originally cultivated the Calamity Water Mystic Scripture, and only forged a mid-grade Calamity Water Dao Foundation. Now, however, he has completed the transformation and become a high-grade Four Symbols Dao Foundation. The four symbols of earth, wind, water, and fire intertwine and transform into a mysterious compass in his Qi Sea. Every rotation can trigger changes in the four symbols, which is very mysterious.

"With the achievement of a superior Dao Foundation and the completion of my inheritance, reaching the peak of the Purple Mansion realm should not be a problem. What I need to do next is to cultivate diligently, reach the peak of the Dao Foundation realm as soon as possible, and then find a suitable local treasure to open up my Purple Mansion realm."

"With the Four Symbols Qi obtained from Chen Yongzu, my chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion are higher than those of ordinary people."

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Lu Xuanping began to make some plans for his future cultivation. However, rare treasures were hard to come by, let alone those involving good fortune. Obtaining them would probably not be an easy task.

"Nanjing Kingdom is located in a remote area and is not a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. It is already difficult to nurture a Corrupted Spirit Corpse Curse Pearl. It would be difficult to find a second treasure here."

"If I want to find a suitable local treasure, I still need to go out. Besides, my family was wiped out and I have avenged my great enemy. I have nothing to hold me back here."

As his thoughts shifted, Lu Xuanping's mind quietly merged with his own Dao foundation.

At that moment, the four elements shifted, the compass turned, and in the darkness, it guided him in a general direction.

"Is your fortune in the east? If so, then head east."

Following his intuition, Lu Xuanping looked eastward and made a decision.

By using Chen Yongzu's body to overcome his tribulation and successfully changing his fortune, his Dao foundation underwent a transformation, acquiring a profound ability to guide his destiny. Although it was vague, it was already extraordinary, since the concept of destiny is ever-changing and difficult to comprehend.
