Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 45 Fortuitous Encounters and Treasures

Yu Daoxuan took out a treasure box from his storage bag.

Inside the box was a seven-inch-long dark silver talisman, its body shimmering with silver light and emanating an aura of annihilation.

The mere sight of it is enough to make one's hair stand on end and one's mind tremble.

This item is called the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and it is one of the most precious treasures he obtained from Flying Eagle Mountain.

That day, after escorting Bai Zhiwei home, I immediately went to Flying Eagle Mountain to search for the opportunity mentioned in her last words.

After searching for a while, he finally found a hermitage hidden in the mountainside.

Through some relics found in the cave, we learned about the identity of the cave's owner.

The owner of this cave dwelling is a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator named "Lianshan Sanren".

Yu Daoxuan had heard of Lianshan Sanren's name when he was in the sect. He was a rogue cultivator from the Purple Mansion in Nanming Continent a hundred years ago, and also a third-level high-grade talisman master. He was quite famous in the continent.

It was only from the other party's jade slip last words that we learned that once, on his way back from slaying demons on Icefire Island, he encountered a demon cultivator in the late Purple Mansion stage who claimed to be a protector of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

The demon cultivator praised his superb talisman-making skills and wanted to invite him to join the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Yu Daoxuan had seen the infamous reputation of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in the sect's scripture pavilion, and Lianshan Sanren naturally knew it as well.

In the cultivation world of the Great Li Islands, the struggle between humans and demons has continued to this day and is extremely fierce.

Just as human cultivators meticulously nurture demonic beasts, some powerful demon kings use extraordinary methods to cultivate and control humans, imparting celestial demonic techniques that can be cultivated to human traitors.

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect is a force formed by traitors and scoundrels of the human race. Their heinous acts are too numerous to recount.

Therefore, in the cultivation world of the Great Li Islands, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was notorious, and human cultivators hated it to the bone, vowing to eliminate it as soon as possible.

But it has never truly been destroyed, for two reasons.

One reason is that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect also has demon infant cultivators stationed there, and its lair is extremely well hidden, so no one can find its exact location.

The second reason is that the Heavenly Demon Technique, an evil cultivation method, can be practiced by anyone and has no requirements on spiritual root aptitude.

Moreover, before reaching the Golden Core realm, one's strength increases rapidly, as long as one continuously consumes human blood and food.

However, these cultivators will gradually lose their humanity, be overtaken by their bestial nature, and become extremely bloodthirsty and manic.

Ultimately, it became a monster that only knew how to kill and forgot itself.

Therefore, Lianshan Sanren, who was a fairly upright person, naturally refused outright.

Unexpectedly, the protector of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect suddenly turned ruthless and launched an attack.

Knowing he was no match for him, Lian Shan Sanren immediately fled.

However, the protector of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was highly skilled and caught up in a short time, severely injuring Lianshan Sanren in just a dozen moves.

Left with no other choice, Lian Shan Sanren resorted to a suicidal tactic, paying a heavy price to repel the enemy.

However, this battle damaged his very essence, and he escaped using a secret technique, hiding in this cave. Before passing away, he left behind his legacy, hastily writing this message.

His inherited treasures consist of three items: a jade slip recording his lifelong insights into the Dao of Talismans, a pair of golden wings, and finally, the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand.

This talisman is a natal spiritual artifact forged by Lianshan Sanren with all his heart and soul. It is of superior quality and contains the power of thunder.

Yu Daoxuan had carefully read the jade slip of talisman left by Lianshan Sanren and only then did he learn that this talisman had a different origin and was one of the twelve Heavenly God Thunder Talismans.

If one can refine twelve Heavenly Thunder Talismans, one can set up the supreme killing formation, the "Twelve Heavenly Thunder Talisman Formation".

Once activated, a torrent of divine lightning pours down, unmatched by cultivators of the same level, and can even be used to slay enemies of higher levels with the power of the formation.

Unfortunately, Lian Shan Sanren only managed to create this one piece in his entire life.

Even so, the power of this talisman alone is enough to threaten even a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level.

Moreover, this talisman is different from ordinary talismans; it is a precious talisman that can be nurtured with magical power to continuously enhance its power.

If he reaches the Golden Core realm in the future, he can upgrade the high-grade spiritual artifact-level Heavenly Thunder Talisman into a magic weapon.

In addition, the Heavenly Thunder Talisman can be used repeatedly. After the talisman's power is consumed, it can be stored in the dantian and restored through the nurturing of magic power.

After a day and a night of refining, Yu Daoxuan had initially refined the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

Due to insufficient strength, it is difficult to unleash the full power of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. At most, it can only exert three-tenths of its power, but it is still enough to threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yu Daoxuan stored the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his dantian, and then took out the pair of golden wings from his storage bag and began to refine them.

The Golden Feather Wings are also a high-grade spiritual artifact. When the wings are spread out, they are a full twelve feet long, and each feather gleams with a golden luster.

When not in use, it can be folded into a palm-sized gilded bracelet.

But once activated, golden light spreads across the sky, leaving only a golden afterimage as it breaks through the air.

This winged creature is extremely fast; even ordinary cultivators at the Purple Mansion level, who exert all their strength to fly at breakneck speed, would find it difficult to catch up.

The protector of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect who attacked Lianshan Sanren had cultivated the innate divine power of the Earth-grade bloodline demon beast "Azure Scaled Eagle," whose speed was no less than that of the Golden Feather Wings. That's why Lianshan Sanren was trapped here and died.

Another day and night passed, and Yu Daoxuan slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

The Golden Feather Wings have been initially refined and can be released and activated at will. However, like the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, they are limited by the user's cultivation level and can only exert 30% of their power.

With a flick of his magic, the golden wings instantly shrank into a palm-sized gilded bracelet that landed in his hand.

As Yu Daoxuan stepped out of the room, he was about to test the power of the wing when he saw Zhao Zhongling hurrying towards him.

A sense of unease crept into his heart, and he immediately asked, "Junior Brother Zhao, has something happened on the island?"

Zhao Zhongling quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior Brother Yu, the young master of the Hong family of Huai Shi requests an audience. He is currently waiting in the main hall. I wonder if Senior Brother would be willing to grant him an audience?"

"I'll go there now."

Yu Daoxuan agreed.

The Hong family of Huai Shi is the same family as Hong Yongning, so he should meet them both out of courtesy and reason.

A moment later, Yu Daoxuan arrived at the front hall, where a young man in blue robes, who appeared to be around thirty years old, stood with a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Upon seeing Yu Daoxuan enter the hall, the man quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hong Yong'an of the Hong family of Huai Shi pays his respects to Envoy Yu!"

"Having heard that Your Excellency Yu has arrived here to stay, the Hong family was unable to pay our respects immediately. We hope Your Excellency will forgive us."

"This is just a small gift to express the Hong family's goodwill; please accept it."

After saying that, Hong Yong'an reached into his storage pouch at his waist, took out a jade box, and opened it.

Inside the box lay a top-quality shell pearl, worth over two hundred spirit stones.

This amount is not small; it's equivalent to two years' salary for an inner disciple of the Qingyuan Sect.

Yu Daoxuan chuckled and waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Hong, there's no need for such formalities. Senior Brother Yongning and I are close friends, so there's no need for such formalities. Please take a seat and let's talk."

However, Hong Yong'an was so earnest and insisted on presenting the gift that Yu Daoxuan had no choice but to accept it after several attempts to refuse.

Some gifts, if you refuse them, will make the recipient unhappy.

Because Hong Yongning chose to befriend and help him when he was still in his humble beginnings, he still had a good impression of the Hong family of Huai Shi.

For a time, the two chatted about various matters, and both host and guest enjoyed themselves immensely.

Before long, Hong Yong'an's expression turned serious, and his tone became solemn: "I wonder if Your Excellency has heard of the matter of the prodigy from the Lü family of Guang'an?"

"Oh, I wonder what happened?"

Upon hearing the words "spirit child," Yu Daoxuan asked with slight curiosity.

He knew that in the cultivation world, "spirit child" generally refers to a child with a special physique.

Hong Yong'an slowly recounted the cause and effect.

A girl with the Yuan Yin Cold Soul Body appeared in the Lü family of Guang'an. The news was leaked for some unknown reason, which led to the people of the Asura Palace breaking into the Lü family's mountain gate and kidnapping the girl the day before yesterday. As a result, many members of the Lü family were killed or injured.

"After this news spread, all the major powers in the vicinity mobilized. The envoys stationed on several islands, including Qiaojia Island and Qingwan Island, have also sent people to search for traces of the Asura Palace."

Hong Yong'an gave a final reminder.

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I will remember this favor. If the Hong family ever needs anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Yu Daoxuan said solemnly.

Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Hong Yong'an repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Of course, of course, then I'll take my leave now!"

After being escorted to the palace gate, Yu Daoxuan gazed at the clear blue sky and began to ponder.

"Primordial Yin Cold Soul Body?"

Yu Daoxuan was deeply shocked when he heard this.

As a qualified cultivator, one must understand certain special physical constitutions in the world.

The Primordial Yin Cold Soul Body is a special constitution that is formed innately.

Those who possess this body, once they embark on the path of immortality, will cultivate at a speed far exceeding that of cultivators with earth-rooted spiritual energy.

Even a Golden Core sect like the Feathered Ascension Sect, once it learns of the existence of such a physique, would spare no expense to recruit such a person into its ranks and nurture them as the future of the sect.

Most importantly, those who possess this constitution have a trace of pure innate Yin energy within their bodies.

Those who cultivate together with him will have a significantly higher success rate in breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and the effect is even greater in breaking through the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion bottlenecks.

However, although Yu Daoxuan was tempted, he would not act blindly.

He had heard of the Lü family of Guang'an; they were a Foundation Establishment family from the northern sea region of the Qingyuan Sect.

Although one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators was summoned by the Qingyuan Sect because of the Yuhua Sect's pioneering work, the Lü family still has another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Unexpectedly, the Asura Palace broke through the mountain gate and abducted the spirit child, which shows how terrifying the foundation of the number one tribulation cultivator in the Southern Sea Continent is.

Therefore, his best course of action is to pass this message on to the sect and see how the sect reacts.
