Hermit in the Mountains

However, at the last moment, he abruptly cut off this opportunity for breakthrough.

The remaining fortune was used to nurture the Myriad Paths Pearl, accelerating the gestation of the two unknown laws.

He did gain something; he could break through anytime he wanted.

His greatest gain was that he understood what the "Dao Fruit Realm" was, and how to proceed after reaching the Dao Fruit Realm.

He had gained some insight and direction regarding the next realm after the Dao Fruit Realm.

The "Dao Fruit" is crucial to his future path in the Dao, and cannot be formed casually.

The principle of "all paths lead to one" is indeed true, but he always felt it wasn't quite perfect.

Two unknown laws were born while the Myriad Paths Pearl's original space was still being nurtured.

He had a strong feeling that condensing the "Dao Fruit" with the three fundamental powers was the path he should take from now on.

Only when his potential is fully explored can his foundation be considered complete.

The Dao Fruit Realm may be a watershed or transitional stage, like the Immortal Tribulation Transcending Realm.

If I do the math, only a week has passed since I went into seclusion.

He focused his mind on the Myriad Paths Pearl and sensed that the power of the artifact for proving the Dao had greatly increased.

His mind entered the virtual world of myriad paths, and he glanced at the time. It was already the end of the year, and 2028 was about to come to a close.

With a sudden thought, he quickly reviewed various documents awaiting processing and summarized external information.

He read the reminder document sent by Zhang Yuanfu and opened it.

The Jin family has safely arrived at Kurong Mountain and is currently residing in a side courtyard of the Mortal Abode.

The reminder file was sent three days ago.

Gu Changsheng replied to Zhang Yuanfu, telling him to bring Jin Yuanbao and his two siblings to Changsheng Peak to see him the next day.

After sending the message, he quickly scanned through various information to learn about recent events in the outside world.

What surprised him most was the impact of establishing the Longevity Cult.

It actually triggered a response from the will of heaven and earth, and countless cultivators of the Dao Seeds heard what he said when he founded his sect.

Fortunately, he didn't make any careless remarks.

If he says, "Use the innate treasure - the Myriad Paths Pearl to suppress the fortune."

That would make him a public enemy, and top powers would likely covet the treasure.

Currently, the outside world only knows the three words "Myriad Paths Pearl" and will not think of it as an innate supreme treasure, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

He glanced at the list of congratulatory gifts sent by various forces, which included many high-quality spiritual materials.

There are also some strange and unusual items added to the festive atmosphere.

Gu Changsheng roughly understood why they had sent over these strange and unusual items; it was probably because they themselves didn't understand the effects of these items.

There's no point in keeping it; we might as well give it to him as a lucky charm.

He might find treasures in them, and he'll be grateful for their kindness, so he won't lose out no matter what.

He sent a message to Zhang Yuanfu, asking him to bring some unusual and unusual gifts up the mountain the next day.

Opening blind boxes can be a fun activity when you have some free time.

After reviewing various documents and information, Gu Changsheng turned his attention to the development of the Virtual Myriad Realms.

With a single glance, the progress of scene development is laid bare.

The virtual Mount Kuru is a one-to-one replica of the real Mount Kuru, with a city belt stretching for four thousand kilometers at its foot, filled with independent towns and cities.

As you ascend the mountain, there is a city cluster every ten kilometers.

From the foot of the mountain to the summit, there are ten city zones, with hundreds of thousands of markets, caves, lakes, and forests of all sizes.

With Mount Kurong at its center, a series of enormous virtual cities are situated around it.

Despite their proximity, they resemble independent virtual spaces, making it impossible to observe the neighboring cities.

The next day, early morning.

Gu Changsheng appeared alone in the Changsheng Palace outside, and absorbed the Investiture of the Gods, the Human Emperor's Seal, and the Myriad Souls Banner into his body.

He sat cross-legged on a pure white lotus, suspended one meter above the ground.

The Pure White Lotus is modeled as an ordinary lotus platform.

He whispered a single word into the air.

"Enter--"

The word "enter" floated lightly, yet it reached the entrance of the Yellow Wind Palace, five hundred meters away.

The word "advance" rang in the ears of Zhang Yuanfu and the others.

Before long, Zhang Yuanfu led the three siblings, Jin Yuanbao and his sister, into the Hall of Longevity. The four of them stopped at a distance of three meters.

The four bowed in unison and said, "Disciples greet their teacher..."

After bowing, Zhang Yuanfu presented a spatial ring with both hands. "Teacher, this is what you asked me to bring."

On the Pure White Lotus, Gu Changsheng gently hooked his right finger, and the spatial ring floated into his palm, transforming into white light and being stored in the Myriad Paths Pearl.

His gaze swept over Jin Yuanbao and the other two, their fortune, karma, background, and cultivation level entering his mind.

The three siblings before us have similar fortunes and backgrounds, which is excellent.

The little girl's karma is the purest; she has no history of killing, and she is clearly well protected.

"Yuanfu, you may step back now."

"This disciple takes his leave!" Zhang Yuanfu did not hesitate at all, bowed with his hands clasped, and left the main hall.

After Zhang Yuanfu left, Gu Changsheng had a thought, and the Hall of Longevity was enveloped in transparent gas, preventing any detection or sound from escaping.

He called out the names of the three men, "Jin Yuanbao, Jin Yinbao, and Jin Yubao."

The three siblings, Jin Yuanbao, Jin Yinbao, and Jin Yubao, bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciples Jin Yuanbao, Jin Yinbao, and Jin Yubao greet our teacher..."

Gu Changsheng cut to the chase, "Bring out your magical treasures for this humble Taoist to see."

The three siblings, Jin Yuanbao, summoned the innate spiritual treasure embryos within their bodies.

A basketball-sized gold ingot appeared in front of Jin Yuanbao, radiating golden light;

A small, silvery-white tree floated in Jin Yinbao's hand, with jade coins, each round in shape and square in shape, hanging from its branches.

Jin Yubao held a jade basin in his hands, and the rim of the basin emitted a faint golden light.

Gu Changsheng raised his right hand and summoned three magical treasures, which flew to his front.

The gold ingot, money tree, and treasure basin trembled slightly as they approached the Pure White Lotus.

The three siblings, Jin Yuanbao and his sister, sensed the fear emanating from Lingbao.

Their earlier guess was correct; their teacher possessed a treasure even more powerful than their own spiritual treasures.

Perhaps it is the Myriad Paths Pearl that suppressed the fortune of the Longevity Sect.

Gu Changsheng activated his Myriad Paths True Eyes to probe inside the three spiritual treasures, and three lines of information appeared in his mind.

[Gold Ingot: An innate spiritual treasure embryo, capable of suppressing wealth and fortune, possessing the power to connect with the heavens through wealth.]

[Money Tree: An innate spiritual treasure embryo that absorbs spiritual energy, yin energy, and incense offerings to condense into three jade coins. Different qualities of jade coins contain varying amounts of spiritual energy, yin energy, and incense offerings.]

[Treasure Basin: An innate spiritual treasure embryo, gathering wealth and treasure energy. Consuming wealth and treasure energy can improve the quality of the spiritual treasure.]

Gu Changsheng instantly understood the relationship and abilities between the three spiritual treasures.

The money tree produces three types of jade coins, which can circulate among cultivators, the underworld, and the heavenly court. Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of the jade coins, ghost cultivators absorb the yin energy, and immortals absorb the incense offerings.

After a cultivator uses the jade coin, a faint aura of wealth and treasure will be generated and return to the treasure basin.

These riches and treasures can be consumed to improve the quality of spiritual treasures;

With this effect, the three spiritual treasures possess enormous potential and can accompany them as they grow.

It has limitations on improving the quality of other spiritual treasures, being one grade lower than the Treasure Basin.

After a cultivator uses the jade coins, the resulting wealth and fortune will gather within the gold ingot.

Gold ingots consume wealth and treasure, which can offset a small portion of the power of lightning tribulation and eliminate a small amount of karma.

With a wave of his right hand, Gu Changsheng sent the three magical treasures flying back to their respective owners.
