CHAPTER 668: CHAPTER 493: I’VE FIGURED IT OUT!

Whether it’s the ’Undying Gold Stone’ or the ’Heavenly Mysterious Ice’, the resources listed on this list are hardly ever used by Fourth-order Cultivators.

The materials on the list add up to a substantial value.

This Zhou Yan claims to use these resources to cultivate True Immortals for the Daoist sect.

’Cultivating True Immortals’ might indeed be true.

But these resources will likely never be used on those Fourth-order Disciples.

"This Zhou Yan!"

"Daring to ask for such a high price, it seems he really has the power to create True Immortals steadily."

After all, if he could only cultivate a mere four, five, or seven, eight True Immortals, it wouldn’t be worth this price.

Fu Danzi knows this well and knows that Zhou Yan surely knows he knows.

There’s only a thin layer of paper between the two.

Chen Jichuan, in his quest for rapid cultivation and to acquire cultivation resources from the Daoist sect, has practically laid his cards on the table. However, Fu Danzi doesn’t expose it and calmly says to Chen Jichuan, "These things are not a problem. But once the resources are ready, what are your plans?"

These resources are precious, and even Fu Danzi doesn’t dare to give them directly; he needs to hear something concrete from Chen Jichuan before handing them over.

"It’s not hard."

"All our Daoist Disciples are outstanding in Shenzhou, and almost everyone at the Fourth-order Peak has the potential for Proving Dao True Immortal."

"Any Fourth-order Peak member can be arranged, and the Disciple will preach for them. Those with deep foundations and strong fate are not far from Proving Dao True Immortal. If the Sect Leader has someone who needs special attention, the Disciple can pay particular attention to them, giving them extra help, and the hope for proving the Dao should be higher."

Chen Jichuan has already abandoned concealment.

He’s nearly outright claiming, ’I can mass-produce True Immortals.’

"You this—"

After hearing this, Fu Danzi became somewhat skeptical for the first time.

But thinking about the ten True Immortals that successively proved the Dao in Dongqi Palace and East River Palace, he had to acknowledge that Zhou Yan might not be exaggerating.

It’s just that.

In the past, it took several eras to prove a single Dao.

Now with just a meeting of lips, Zhou Yan, a mere new True Immortal, can casually create and mass-produce one True Immortal after another, which makes it hard for Fu Danzi to accept.

"Isn’t this going too far?"

Fu Danzi, looking at the unconcerned Zhou Yan, for the first time suspected whether encouraging him to cultivate True Immortals was too aggressive.

...

Shangshan Dao Palace.

Watching Zhou Yan leave, Fu Danzi paced in the hall for a while, thinking back and forth, feeling that today’s matter needed to be discussed with the teacher.

"Disciple Fu Danzi, requests to see the teacher."

Fu Danzi respectfully bowed, his voice echoing in the Dao Palace.

In the next moment.

A Daoist appeared in the Dao Palace.

With white hair and beard, full of celestial air and Daoist presence.

It was none other than Fu Danzi’s teacher, the founding ancestor of the One Origin Dao Sect, the leader of the Daoist sect, and the first immortal on the ’Qingshi List’—

Yiyuan Ancestor Master!

"Teacher."

Fu Danzi greeted the teacher upon his arrival, then recreated the scene of Zhou Yan’s visit in the hall.

After Yiyuan Ancestor Master saw it.

Fu Danzi smiled wryly and said, "This Zhou Yan speaks so grandly, I have no assurances in my heart, thus I’m disturbing the teacher’s meditation."

"Creation of True Immortals."

Yiyuan Ancestor Master pondered slightly and said, "Ancient Immortals have unfathomable powers. At their level, cultivating True Immortals is not difficult. This Zhou Yan’s prosperous fate, perhaps with the inheritance of Ancient Immortals, allows him to cultivate rapidly and help others prove the Dao True Immortal."

Yiyuan Ancestor Master stands at the very top of Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.

Indeed, he has long transcended Shenzhou Heaven and Earth, cultivating in the Twelve Big Heaven and Earth, standing at the pinnacle of the cosmos. His Daoist Ghostly Skills are such that few can claim superiority over him, apart from the Ancient Immortals high above, you’d find hardly any throughout the universe’s stars.

For this reason.

The average True Immortal does not know the great power of the Ancient Immortals, but Yiyuan Ancestor Master stands closer and has certain knowledge.

However, those who reach the level of Ancient Immortals are already impervious against all calamities, and even casual True Immortals rarely catch their eye. If one still needs their help to prove the Dao, such a cultivator inherently lacks cultivation value.

Thus, Ancient Immortals seldom help others prove the Dao.

The ones they care for are only those True Immortals on the cusp of taking the final step, hoping to enter the Ancient Immortal Realm, and become impervious against all calamities like them.

For example, the ’Fuliu Immortal.’

He refines the ’Sky-reaching Mountain’, wandering the universe, to give True Immortals more opportunities, hoping that from these True Immortals, a truly transcendent existences could emerge like them.

For instance, the creator of the ’Tribulation Armor’ Divine Skills.

His intention in creating this Divine Skill was also to assist True Immortals in transcending tribulations, hoping they could join the ranks of peers.

An Ancient Immortal’s perspective has already transcended the universe.

Just as True Immortals don’t bother helping each Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator ascend, Ancient Immortals would not idly assist each Fourth-order to prove the Dao True Immortal.

But if Zhou Yan has the inheritance of an Ancient Immortal, possessing part of their great powers, creating multiple True Immortals is not impossible.

"What does the teacher mean?"

Fu Danzi looked at Yiyuan Ancestor Master.

Yiyuan Ancestor Master smiled and said, "This is good. No need to worry. The skill of helping others prove the Dao does not concern Ancient Immortals. Even if Zhou Yan cultivates hundreds or thousands of True Immortals, it would only attract the covetous eyes of a few Fourth Realm True Immortals. The Daoist sect is more than capable of handling it."

"Hundreds or thousands of True Immortals?"

"Does Zhou Yan really have such capability?"

Fu Danzi hopes Zhou Yan can cultivate many True Immortals for the Daoist sect, but in his heart, he expected only a few dozen at most.

Hundreds or thousands?

There are just over a thousand True Immortals in the entire Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.

"Ancient Immortals’ great power is immeasurable."

Yiyuan Ancestor Master sighed with emotion.

This is the realm he longs to reach. Over the tens of millions of years, he has caught glimpses of the brilliance of Ancient Immortals, already filled with admiration. If Zhou Yan indeed obtained the Ancient Immortal inheritance and focused on cultivating True Immortals, it wouldn’t be surprising to cultivate hundreds or thousands of them.

When it concerns Ancient Immortals.

All things are possible!

"If it really could be like this, the demons would surely not sit still."

Fu Danzi said.

"No worries."

"Nothing that can stir up waves."

Yiyuan Ancestor Master couldn’t help but smile.

Fu Danzi felt relieved upon hearing this.

...

Dongqi Immortal Palace.

Chen Jichuan returned to the Five Phases Hall, a smile appearing on his face.

"Undying Gold Stone."

"Cosmic Light True Water."

"Fish-Dragon Cold Iron."

"These are enough for me to quickly forge an Immortal Body and surpass the Fourth Step."

Chen Jichuan took out the first portion of resources given by Master Fu Danzi.

Among them are resources for enhancing Daoist cultivation.

There are also treasures for cultivating Divine Skills, especially treasures needed for Fourth Realm Divine Skills cultivation.

These resources are extremely precious in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth and rarely found outside. Even if Chen Jichuan had more source jade, it would be challenging to gather these resources quickly.

But fortunately, he has the Daoist sect at his back.

This time, he set aside concerns, preparing to fully cultivate True Immortals for the Daoist sect, asking the sect for these resources without any guilt.

"As long as the sect doesn’t call a halt, I’ll continue cultivating True Immortals, continuously seeking the necessary cultivation resources from the Daoist sect."

"It’s a win-win."

"Once I’ve exhausted the sect’s resources, by then, my cultivation and Deus ex Machina will already be substantial. By then, I can further collaborate with external forces and True Immortals, setting clear prices. How hard is it to prove Dao True Immortal? Where I can reliably produce True Immortals, business will surely thrive."

"Impetuously cultivate True Immortals, quickly enhancing Daoist Ghostly Skills."

"I won’t worry about more for now."

"If the plan does fail, the enhancement of Daoist Ghostly Skills is real, and so is the enhancement of Divine Skills. Worst comes to worst, I die and go to another Dao Fruit World, starting anew."

After proving Dao True Immortal, Chen Jichuan has enough self-preservation prowess, coupled with the extreme difficulty in acquiring cultivation-aiding resources, so he has no other options now. Since he possesses such a deadly weapon as ’Enlightenment,’ he might as well go all out.

’Enlightenment’ can help Fourth-order Cultivators prove the Dao, not only that.

Later on, when he advances to the Second Realm and Third Realm, with enough strength, he can trade with Third Realm and Fourth Realm True Immortals, ’enlightening’ them, assisting their cultivation, thereby earning exceedingly rare resources.

"There’s just no way to ’enlighten’ Ancient Immortals!"

"Otherwise, if I could latch onto an Ancient Immortal, there would be no shortage of resources, and my Daoist Ghostly Skills would surely rise as swiftly as a rocket."

After opening his mind, Chen Jichuan only felt the path ahead was broad and bright.

However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Now, he must start by forging the ’Immortal Body’ and by cultivating True Immortals for the One Origin Dao Sect.
