Chapter 200: Intertwined Fates
Chapter 198
Cultivation had no time frame. Seasons passed in the blink of an eye, and eight months went by just like that.
Chen Jingzhai had no way of knowing what happened in the Eastern Ocean.
After all, the situation in the Tempest Ocean was unique, distorting the sect’s communication methods. All members were in Seclusion Training in the tower. Even if they were not cultivating, they would still be training there.
In the past eight months, Chen Jingzhai had comprehended all jade slips. He had also refined two spiritual treasure sources.
One was an item cauldron that was only a step away from becoming a spiritual treasure. After refining it, Chen Jingzhai deliberately placed it in the Primordial Essence World.
A stream of Innate Qi penetrated the spiritual treasure source of the spiritual treasure item cauldron. It allowed the item cauldron’s spirituality to manifest and produce an item cauldron child.
The item cauldron child’s appearance would prove that the item cauldron had upgraded to a spiritual treasure.
Chen Jingzhai named the spiritual treasure Star Cauldron and the item cauldron child Xing Lian since it was a girl.
Other than that, there was a spiritual treasure source Chen Jingzhai originally wanted to leave for Senior Sister Su Qinghuang.
Unfortunately, the spiritual treasure was unsuitable for others as it was a pure star treasure.
To be precise, it was a natal spiritual treasure prepared for cultivators who had cultivated the Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture. It was called the Star Divine Hunting Banner.
Once he refined the spiritual treasure, he could use the flag to draw in the power of the stars and condense the Star Deity.
......
Although the Star Deity was incomparable to the Star Deity conceived by the Golden Core, it still had a very strong power.
More importantly, the Star Divine Hunting Banner could be used for a cultivator’s manifestation beyond his physical body.
The manifestation beyond the physical body was an ability a Star Deity would naturally possess after the complete formation of the Star Deity.
The Star Divine Hunting Banner was one of the Star Divine Clan’s most iconic genuine artifacts and magic treasures.
70% of the disciples had regarded it as a natal magic treasure for cultivating after the formation of their Golden Core.
The three-faced Star Divine Hunting Banner could set up the Star Divine Formation. Thus, if the disciples of Star Divine Clan were grouped, even the disciples from other top sects in Heaven Star Territory would definitely not dare to provoke them.
Nevertheless, Chen Jingzhai did not refine the Star Divine Hunting Banner because it was not suitable for him.
Since he wanted to pave his own path, the spiritual treasure had to be refined from scratch.
After putting it aside, Chen Jingzhai counted the magic treasures in his hand. He had specially selected two superior Grade 3 magic treasures for Senior Sister Su Qinghuang. Then, he decided to give Sage Meng and Sage Zhang an intermediate Grade 3 magic weapon each. Finally, he selected two inferior Grade 3 magic weapons for Jiang Lin and Chu Jingsong.
Knowing that Chen Jingzhai had obtained the inheritance of the True Venerable Spirit Plane and the inheritance of Lord Yu, everyone did not refuse his generosity.
After refining their new spiritual treasures, they cultivated them separately.
Chen Jingzhai had absorbed an ocean of information from his many jade slips in the past eight months. He had gained knowledge and laid a solid foundation in cultivation. He had also finally developed some understanding of the situation in other territories.
Truthfully, he did not spend the entire eight months in Seclusion Training. Instead, he was in Seclusion Training half the time and was with Su Qinghuang for the remaining half.
They wandered around the tower, sitting and discussing the Great Path.
He did not hesitate to share with Su Qinghuang his learnings about technique creation or the in-depth analysis of the Hongluan Sky Scripture’s meditation passage, Foundation Establishment passage, and Golden Core passage. He even shared a framework for the Nascent Soul passage, followed by the Spirit Plane passage.
At that time, Chen Jingzhai did not find it difficult to do so.
With the celestial scriptures as his guide and his experience in technique creation, the only thing challenging him at that point was how to create a technique that completely complemented Su Qinghuang.
When the two were together, they would be on the twenty-fifth floor.
It was where the portable cave residence was, a space inside the tower. Its interior was very huge.
Su Qinghuang could remove her veil without regard.
When they were in each other’s company, it was inevitable that they would be intimate.
Su Qinghuang let Chen Jingzhai have his way with her. There were no restrictions in front of him.
Chen Jingzhai also flaunted his muscular body to her.
Nevertheless, the two did not consummate their relationship that easily.
That was because it would affect their future cultivation.
Both Chen Jingzhai or Su Qinghuang needed to be responsible for their own cultivation future.
Nonetheless, Chen Jingzhai was charmed by her beauty.
His initial attraction to Su Qinghuang’s looks, flesh and lineage had now developed into something more. She had found her way into his heart and soul.
“It’s time to leave. The sect has most likely dealt with Venerable Zhang,” whispered Su Qinghuang. She leaned on him and willingly allowed Chen Jingzhai’s hand to trail under her veil.
“I really don’t want to leave like this. Happy days are indeed too short.” Chen Jingzhai lamented with a heavy sigh.
That was his happiest and most carefree moment ever since his past life memories found him. He had let go of all pressure and enjoyed his time with Su Qinghuang very much.
“We still have a long future ahead of us.” With a flash of spiritual light, Su Qinghuang’s body glowed, and magic robes covered her beautiful porcelain-white figure. The veil on her face reappeared. “I will find you.”
“All right!” Magic robes also appeared on Chen Jingzhai’s body. However, he held her tightly and refused to let go of her.
After the Seclusion Training, he had to prepare to traverse the Woods Ocean Ancient Path.
Fortunately, Su Qinghuang already had the framework of the Nascent Soul passage with Chen Jingzhai’s help.
She only needed a long Seclusion Training before she could break through by creating the Nascent Soul passage. By then, her lifespan would naturally not be a problem.
“Let’s go!” Su Qinghuang stood up. “Go and see your maidservants. They should have improved after so long. In the future, they will watch you when I’m not around.”
Chen Jingzhai smiled and took her hand. They walked to the other floor.
Perhaps the parting was imminent. Su Qinghuang did not care about the beautiful maidservants next to Chen Jingzhai.
She had secretly reminded Hong Yu, Hong Chan, Hong Xiu, Hong Fu and the others to take good care of Chen Jingzhai during her absence.
As such, Su Qinghuang had even asked Chen Jingzhai to throw them into the tower to fight.
Downstairs, the maidservants were all fighting against different opponents.
Among them, the women of the Liu clan had made great progress. All of them had reached Level 7 of the Meditation Plane.
The four beautiful maidservants had all reached Level 9 of the Meditation Plane. Their next goal was to reach the Foundation Establishment Plane.
In addition to constant battles and tempering, the large number of Grade 1 elixirs and spirit pearls provided by Chen Jingzhai were the key to their rapid improvement.
The maidservants also had guidance from the tower boy and received pointers from Jiang Lin and Chu Jingsong from time to time. With sufficient resources, they would naturally improve in continuous battles.
Su Qinghuang had been focusing on the cultivation of the four beautiful maidservants. After all, they were also disciples of Luo Sheng Sword School. Once they had established their foundation, they could immediately enter the outer sect and become deacons in the future.
Nevertheless, they would definitely not choose to do so because they would get the best results from following Chen Jingzhai. After all, they had arrived at the Foundation Establishment Plane in such a short time. Previously, they could never imagine achieving this.
After a few hours, the tower ship that Chen Jingzhai refined from scratch to Grade 3 appeared in the Eastern Ocean region.
On the ship, everyone sat together and received the sect’s communication.
“I didn’t expect a True Venerable Spirit Plane to meet his demise in the Eastern Ocean. Moreover, it was the doing of Master-Uncle Gu Hongzi,” said Sage Meng softly and emotionally.
After getting out of the Tempest Ocean, he obtained a message from the sect’s communication and learned of what happened in the past eight months.
Gu Hongzi had gone down the mountain from the Golden Jade Sword Branch and killed Venerable Zhang with one sword blow.
That event had brought left a huge impact on everyone. After all, it had been many years since anyone had witnessed a battle between True Venerable Spirit Plane Cultivators.
“Would anything go wrong?” asked Chen Jingzhai.
“What could be wrong?” Sage Zhang laughed. “No matter how you look at it, it’s not our fault. He’s just a rogue cultivator in the Eastern Ocean. Even though he is in a True Venerable Spirit Plane, he shouldn’t have targeted our disciples and attacked them.”
“That’s right.” Sage Meng smiled. “Master-Uncle Gu Hongzi’s attack this time had also to create a shockwave. Perhaps people dared to attack us because we haven’t been active in the Eastern Ocean for many years.”
“What about Mystic Sound Pavilion?” Jiang Lin asked from the side.
“The True Venerable Spirit Plane from Mystic Sound Pavilion and the True Venerable Spirit Plane from Mingyuan Dao Sect have gone to Luo Sheng Sword School to apologize in person.” Sage Meng said, “They paid with a Grade 4 spirit plant to cover this matter.”
“What about Lord Yu?” Chu Jingsong chimed in, “Is he done for just like this?”
“Mystic Sound Pavilion has offered five magical treasures and a Grade 4 spiritual material,” said Sage Meng with a smile. “Ultimately, Jingzhai did not suffer any damages, and the one who died was the Lord of Mystic Sound Pavilion.”
“That’s right,” said Sage Zhang with a smile. “If Jingzhai were to die, Mystic Sound Pavilion would probably no longer exist. Jingzhai is a true disciple who has intertwined fates with the sect.”
“Intertwined fates?” Jiang Lin and Chu Jingsong were puzzled.
“Otherwise, why do you think Master-Uncle Gu Hongzi made a move?” Sage Meng passionately said, “Why is the status of a true disciple so high? Why is Jingzhai your Little Master-Uncle?”
To be nominated as the true disciple meant that one’s fate was tied to the sect. When that happened, both parties would prosper and suffer together. If Chen Jingzhai really fell, Mystic Sound Pavilion’s existence would be an issue.
The Luanyun Sword Celestial was not merely a decorative title. It represented true ability.
