Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 384 Sect's Gift of Treasure
Seeking the Dao Peak, a thousand feet high, is filled with spiritual light. All who come and go are cultivators, some riding demonic beasts, others climbing clouds and mist, displaying the grandeur of immortals.

In the Shoushi Hall, under the watchful eye of an old man, Jiang Chen channeled a stream of spiritual energy into a treasure mirror.

In an instant, the treasure mirror shone brightly, bursting forth with a length of nine zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Upon seeing this scene, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and his spiritual light shone nine zhang high. This was definitely a superior Dao foundation. The key point was that this was not the limit. The spiritual light was still surging upwards, trying to break through the limit.

"Could it be that we're going to produce a flawless Dao foundation? This..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, and looking at Jiang Chen again, the old man's face was full of disbelief.

He was considered an elder of the Impermanence Sect and was originally a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, he had no hope of reaching the Purple Mansion realm, so he took a sinecure in the Guardian Hall. But over the years, he had never seen a flawless Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At the same time, the invisible barrier was broken, and the nine-zhang-long spiritual light rose again, completely transforming into a pillar of light that burst out of the hall and illuminated all directions.

This unusual phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and the entire Daowen Peak suddenly fell silent at that moment.

"This is a spirit-testing pillar? Does this mean someone has achieved a flawless Dao foundation?"

Some people, with their keen insight, immediately guessed what it was.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

The Impermanence Sect is a true Daoist sect, with Heavenly Phenomenon True Lords presiding over it throughout the ages, and its existence has never been interrupted. However, even so, there are not many people in the sect who can forge a flawless Dao foundation. Many disciples of the Impermanence Sect often never see a single one in their entire lives, from birth to death.

As the strange phenomena continued to spread, more and more attention began to be drawn to Seeking the Dao Peak. A flawless Dao Foundation is a rare sight, occurring only once every thousand years. Among the Celestial Phenomenon True Monarchs of the Impermanence Sect throughout the ages, the majority possessed a flawless Dao Foundation. While a superior Dao Foundation could also lead to a Celestial Phenomenon, the probability was undoubtedly much lower.

To some extent, condensing a flawless Dao foundation can already be considered a Dao seed.

"First two were precious bodies, and now there is a flawless Dao foundation. These disciples recruited from outside have truly produced some geniuses."

"At the end of five hundred years, disasters were turned into blessings, and fortunes rose. This should be the result of changes in heaven and earth. The way of fortunes is mysterious and profound."

Looking out over Seeking the Dao Peak, several figures standing in the void seemed lost in thought. As high-ranking members of the sect, they knew more and had different perspectives on the issues.

While the outside world was bustling with excitement over the appearance of the flawless Dao Foundation, inside the Shoushi Hall, the void shifted, and a phantom jade book quietly descended.

"Jiang Chen, the 3,600th generation disciple, has achieved flawless Dao. According to the Law of Impermanence, he can obtain a low-grade protective treasure, a third-grade spiritual object, a life-sustaining thread, and a second-stage Three Treasures Golden Pill."

His voice was indifferent and calm. In that instant, Jiang Chen seemed to have stepped into another space, where all sorts of treasures appeared before him, including magical artifacts, pills, and secret techniques.

"Is this the sect's treasure trove? It is truly vast and boundless."

With a sudden thought, and following the guidance of the unseen, Jiang Chen began to choose his reward.

As his thoughts shifted, the treasures that appeared before him changed accordingly, being selected one by one according to his requirements.

"For protective artifacts, choose the Primordial Qi Banner."

With his mind made up, Jiang Chen first selected a protective artifact. This Primordial Chaos Banner, with its combination of offense and defense, was still very useful to him in his current state, far more suitable for his body than the Five Sacred Mountains Stone Staff and the Three Tribulations Subduing Fire Chains he already possessed. Most importantly, this Primordial Chaos Banner contained the profound mysteries of the Primordial Chaos Technique, which would greatly help him both in his current stage of comprehending the Six Qi Spiritual Techniques and in the future in uniting the Six Qi to refine the precious technique.

After setting the Primordial Chaos Banner, Jiang Chen turned his attention to spiritual objects.

"With the foundation of my Dao established and the true Qi replenishing itself, I can feel that the bottleneck in my soul has loosened. I just need to add a little more fire and I should be able to overcome it."

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Chen began searching for treasures related to the soul.

Such treasures are very rare in the outside world, but the Impermanence Sect has a considerable foundation and there are still some similar treasures.

"The Soul-Slaying Pearl is a third-tier spiritual object. It has an extremely strong tempering effect on the soul. Its only drawback is that it is explosive. If a cultivator is not careful, he may injure his own soul. However, this is not a problem for me, since my soul has sufficient self-healing ability."

"The most important thing for me now is to break through the third-tier bottleneck. If this spiritual object is too mild, it will not be of much use to me."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen made his decision and confirmed his choice.

At that very moment, the void shifted, the treasure vault vanished, and Jiang Chen's consciousness returned to reality. At this time, four orbs of light appeared beside him, containing the four treasures he had obtained.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve and pocketed all four treasures.

Leaving aside the Primordial Qi Banner and the Soul-Slaying Pearl, which he chose himself, the Second-Rank Three Treasures Golden Pill is an extremely precious second-grade spiritual pill that can help cultivators harmonize their essence, qi, and spirit, and stabilize their foundation. Although it is only second-grade, it is difficult to refine and has outstanding effects. In terms of value, it surpasses ordinary third-grade treasure pills.

As for the Life-Sustaining Silk, it is an extremely special treasure. It is a precious treasure that can always temporarily keep Jiang Chen alive, no matter how severe his injuries are.

Theoretically speaking, even if a Celestial Phenomenon cultivator were to make a move, it would be difficult to completely eliminate Jiang Chen in one strike. This is also a form of protection that the Impermanence Sect provides for its talented disciples. Of course, if Jiang Chen were to be targeted by a Celestial Phenomenon cultivator, he would undoubtedly die with just the Life-Sustaining Silk.

Even so, in terms of value, the Life-Sustaining Silk is still undoubtedly the number one among the four treasures.

"Congratulations, junior brother! Congratulations on your flawless attainment of the Dao! The celestial phenomena are promising."

"These are the necessary items for disciples of the sect. Please accept them, junior brother."

Seeing Jiang Chen collect the treasures, the old man who had been waiting on the side stepped forward with a smile on his face and a hint of flattery in his eyes. He was already a withered skeleton in a tomb, while the other party was a rising star. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party would definitely be a big figure in the sect in the future.

He naturally had to be humble in the presence of such a person.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled and responded, taking the items.

There were quite a few items: a set of sect robes, an identity token, and a rather special magic artifact, the Tai Xu Mirror. This Tai Xu Mirror was a sub-artifact; although its grade was not high and it was merely a magic artifact that could not be further refined, it was connected to a treasure of the sect and was quite mysterious.

Jiang Chen should have retrieved these things long ago, but he was focused on cultivation, so he was delayed.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Leaving behind a message, Jiang Chen walked out of the Shoushi Hall.
