Chapter 1372
Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, Supreme Treasure
Ye Yang's year in the vast ocean was not in vain; he was taken aback when he met her.
This person is Qu Nishang, the youngest disciple of the Canghai Ancestor, and also a Canghai Dao Seed. She is exceptionally talented and has unlimited potential.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, why are you blocking my way?" Ye Yang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Qu Nishang raised her head and looked directly at Ye Yang.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I have something I wish to give you. Please accept it."
Chapter Three: The Seven Apertures of Exquisite Wisdom, The Covenant
Ye Yang looked at Qu Nishang, who was blocking his way, his eyes full of doubt.
Although he had met Qu Nishang a few times, they were not very familiar with each other. Why would she suddenly give him a treasure?
Moreover, Qu Nishang is a Dao Seed of the Vast Ocean, with a noble status. Judging from what he said, the treasure in his possession must be extraordinary. Why would she give it to him so easily?
"Fellow Daoist Qu, I cannot accept rewards without merit. Please enlighten me."
Ye Yang remained calm and composed, showing no sign of greed.
He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Qu Ni Chang must have had her own purpose in suddenly giving him the treasure.
Upon hearing this, Qu Nishang's shyness deepened. She took a deep breath, as if making a tremendous decision, and slowly raised her right hand, taking out a pure white, crystal-clear jade stone from her sleeve. The jade stone was about the size of a thumb, with seven small...
The exquisite holes, within which a faint light seems to flow.
It exudes a rich and pure immortal aura; simply getting close to it refreshes the mind and body, and makes one's Dao power more refined.
This jade stone has a unique shape and exudes a spiritual aura; it is clearly no ordinary treasure.
Ye Yang's gaze fell on the jade, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
He could sense that this jade contained an extremely vast and pure power, its grade far exceeding any divine object he had ever seen.
"This is……"
Ye Yang frowned slightly.
Qu Nishang handed the jade stone to Ye Yang.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade, a priceless treasure of my master, containing extremely pure power of law."
"It can help cultivators comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, break through cultivation bottlenecks, and greatly assist in breaking through to the Mahayana realm."
"Seven-aperture exquisite jade?"
Ye Yang was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although he had never seen the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade, he had read about it in ancient books.
This item is a supreme treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, appearing only once in millions of years. It contains the fundamental laws of heaven and earth and can help cultivators cleanse their hearts and comprehend the laws.
It has an immeasurable effect on both cultivators in the Tribulation Realm who break through to the Mahayana Realm and cultivators in the Mahayana Realm who improve their cultivation.
Such a priceless treasure, how could the Ancestor of the Vast Ocean have allowed Qu Ni Chang to give it to him? This is simply too unbelievable.
Ye Yang quickly took a step back, waved his hand, and said in a solemn tone.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, you absolutely must not! The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade is the most precious treasure of Ancestor Canghai, priceless beyond measure. How could I possibly accept it so easily?"
He knew that the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade was too precious. If he accepted it, he would owe a huge favor, and he would find it difficult to refuse if Ancestor Canghai made any requests in the future.
Moreover, he was not familiar with Qu Nishang, and the fact that she suddenly gave him such a treasure must have an unknown purpose, so he had to be cautious.
Seeing this, Qu Nishang's face showed a hint of anxiety, and she quickly said.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, you don’t need to refuse. This Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade is not a gift I gave you privately, but something I asked my master for and specially gave it to you.”
"Oh?" Ye Yang frowned slightly, his doubts deepening.
"Why did you ask Ancestor Canghai for this Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade and give it to me? Please explain, fellow Daoist. If you have any requests, please feel free to speak them."
"I will not refuse as long as I can do it, but I really cannot accept this Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade."
Qu Nishang took a deep breath, raised her head, looked directly at Ye Yang, and spoke solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, to be honest, I asked my master for this Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade because I need your help."
"I know that you are now in the late stage of the Tribulation Realm, only one step away from the Great Ascension Realm."
"The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade can help you break through to the Mahayana Realm more quickly. I hope you can accept this Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade and break through to the Mahayana Realm as soon as possible."
At this point, Qu Nishang's voice lowered, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"I am a Dao Seed of the Vast Ocean. Although my talent is not bad, I have been stuck at the early stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm for many years and have been unable to break through the bottleneck."
"Once you break through to the Mahayana Realm, you will become a top expert in the starry sky, possessing power that reaches the heavens and the earth. If you can successfully break through, you can also help me break through my current bottleneck and help me improve my cultivation as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang suddenly understood, but was also somewhat surprised.
After all, the value of this item far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.
But he also had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Qu Ni Chang is a disciple of the Canghai Ancestor. If she wanted to break through her bottleneck, the Canghai Ancestor would surely have helped her. Why go through all this trouble?
Using a jade pendant with seven orifices to seek something for oneself?
Moreover, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade is the most precious treasure of the Ancestor of the Vast Sea.
Without the tacit approval of the Canghai Ancestor, Qu Nishang would never have been able to obtain it and give it to herself.
Thinking of this, a flash of understanding appeared in Ye Yang's eyes. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Combining what the Xuanwu Sacred Beast had said earlier with the attitude of the Canghai Ancestor, he gradually came to an answer.
The Ancestor Canghai had received a great favor from the Xuanwu Holy Sect, so in principle, he should have done his best to help me break through to the Mahayana realm.
But he waited until after the barter conference was over before he was willing to give me some pointers.
Moreover, Qu Ni Chang suddenly gifted herself a jade pendant with seven orifices.
While it may seem like he's trying to help her break through her bottleneck, there's probably still the shadow of the Old Ancestor of the Vast Ocean behind it all.
Ye Yang knew that the sea was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
The Old Ancestor of the Vast Ocean faces the covetousness of many enemies, and his situation is not optimistic.
As for himself, he has obtained the inheritance of the Xuanwu Holy Sect and mastered the supreme divine power of the Immortal Fixation Technique. Once he breaks through to the Mahayana Realm, he will become an extremely powerful ally.
On the surface, Ancestor Canghai's actions seemed to be repaying a favor to the Xuanwu Holy Sect by gifting him the Seven Aperture Exquisite Jade to help him break through to the Mahayana Realm. In reality, however, he was trying to gain a lot with a small investment, hoping to form an alliance with him and make him his ally to help him overcome the current crisis.
Qu Ni Chang was merely a pawn pushed out by the Canghai Ancestor, using her request to conceal the underlying alliance.
After all, while the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade is precious, it is not indispensable for Ancestor Canghai, a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm.
Once he breaks through to the Mahayana realm, the assistance he can gain will be far more valuable than a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade.
This move by the Old Ancestor of the Vast Ocean is undoubtedly an extremely worthwhile deal.
A moment later, Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes. The doubt in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a sense of understanding.
The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade will greatly help him break through to the Mahayana Realm, allowing him to avoid many detours and reach the Mahayana Realm sooner.
For him, forming an alliance with Ancestor Canghai was not necessarily a bad thing. Although his Flying Heaven Sect was gradually recovering, its foundation remained weak.
If they could gain the protection of Ancestor Canghai, a Mahayana cultivator, the development of the Flying Heaven Sect would be even smoother.
Moreover, the enemies that the Old Ancestor of the Vast Ocean faces may also be his future enemies.
Joining forces with the Old Ancestor of the Vast Ocean to fight the enemy can also reduce some trouble for oneself.
As for helping Qu Nishang break through her bottleneck, it will be a piece of cake for him in the future.
Moreover, Qu Nishang is a Dao Seed of the Vast Ocean, possessing limitless potential. If one can cultivate a good relationship with her, she might become an asset in the future.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, I understand."
Ye Yang looked at Qu Nishang and said in a solemn tone.
"I will accept this Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade. Rest assured, if I am able to successfully break through to the Mahayana Realm in the future, I will definitely lend a helping hand to help you break through your current bottleneck and help you improve your cultivation as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Qu Nishang's eyes.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye! I knew from the beginning that Fellow Daoist Ye is a person of great loyalty and righteousness."
Seeing Qu Nishang's delighted expression, Ye Yang nodded slightly, but he knew very well that this was not just a simple transaction, but an alliance concerning the future.
He raised his hand and took the seven-aperture exquisite jade from Qu Nishang's hand; it felt warm and smooth to the touch.
A surge of pure law power instantly flowed into his body, causing him to tremble and his Dao heart to become even clearer.
My understanding of the laws of heaven and earth has also deepened.
"This Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Ye Yang sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Qu Nishang spoke again.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, this exchange event is filled with treasures, and all those who have come are patriarchs at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, possessing great treasures and harboring great ambitions."
"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Qu."
Ye Yang nodded slightly.
"The barter conference is about to begin. If you are also going to attend, we might as well go together."
A hint of joy appeared on Qu Nishang's face.
"I was just about to go to the Glazed Palace, and I thought I'd go with Fellow Daoist Ye."
Ye Yang nodded slightly, turned around and transformed into a streak of cyan-gold sword light, flying towards the direction of the Glazed Divine Palace.
Qu Nishang followed closely behind, her figure flashing as she caught up.
Along the way, the two flew side by side, and Qu Nishang would occasionally introduce Ye Yang to the situation of the Glazed Palace and the rules of the Barter Conference.
Ye Yang listened patiently, occasionally asking questions, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became more harmonious.
The currency used in this barter conference is not ordinary spirit stones, but immortal stones.
Immortal stones are formed from the convergence and condensation of spiritual stones, containing a richer immortal energy. They can be used not only for trading but also for cultivation.
Ordinary cultivators would find it extremely difficult to possess.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang understood.
Although he had previously killed several powerful experts at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm and seized many treasures and storage bags.
It would be better to exchange the treasures you have for immortal stones first, so that you can bid for the treasures you want at the grand event.
The two flew for about an hour before arriving above the Glazed Palace.
From afar, a colossal palace floats in the vast ocean, its entire structure crafted from five-colored divine jade and inlaid with countless gems and spiritual pearls.
The palace was surrounded by clouds and mist, filled with an ethereal atmosphere, and countless cultivators moved about, creating a scene of great prosperity.
Ye Yang and Qu Nishang sheathed their swords and stood above the Glazed Palace, their gazes slowly sweeping over the palace below.
The scale of the Glazed Palace was far greater than he had imagined, and powerful restrictions were placed on the palace.
Within the palace, countless cultivators could be vaguely seen.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, let's go in quickly. The competition has already started. If we wait any longer, some of the good treasures may be auctioned off to others."
"it is good."
Ye Yang nodded slightly, and then flew towards the Glazed Palace together with Qu Nishang.
As soon as you step into the Glazed Palace, a rich aura of immortality washes over you, mixed with the scents of various rare treasures, making you feel refreshed and invigorated.
Inside the palace, there were countless display stands.
On the display stand, all sorts of treasures were on display: immortal herbs that exuded a rich medicinal fragrance, Dao artifacts that contained powerful Dao energy, rare minerals and spiritual materials, as well as cultivation manuals and jade slips containing supernatural abilities. The variety was dazzling and all-encompassing.
Countless cultivators surrounded the exhibition stand, whispering among themselves, their eyes fixed on the treasures on the stand, filled with greed and anticipation.
Some cultivators have already begun negotiating with the disciples of the Glazed Palace to exchange for immortal stones, preparing to bid on their desired treasures.
Ye Yang's gaze swept quickly across the display stands in the palace, and he was secretly shocked.
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the treasures inside were exceptionally precious and rarely seen by outsiders.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please wait here for a moment while I go and get you a list of treasures."
Qu Nishang said to Ye Yang.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Qu."
Ye Yang nodded slightly.
Qu Nishang turned around and walked towards one side of the palace.
Ye Yang stood still, looking around. He noticed that there were many familiar auras in the palace, all of them Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm ancestors.
There were also some cultivators whose auras were unfathomable, clearly from hidden races and forces, whose strength was formidable and should not be underestimated.
Among them was an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a white Taoist robe. His face was aged, but he was vigorous and his eyes were bright.
He has already reached the peak of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, and is only one step away from the Mahayana Realm.
Beside him were several disciples at the Void Refinement Realm, gathered around a display stand, talking in hushed tones, their eyes fixed on a piece of black ore on the stand, their eyes filled with greed.
"He is the Hermit of the Setting Sun in the Blessed Land of Setting Sun."
This Daoist Xieyang is incredibly powerful. His natal Dao treasure, the Xieyang Heavenly Wheel, is already a top-grade Dao artifact, a treasure that can be called a world-suppressing treasure.
He came here for the treasures at the barter conference, hoping to find an opportunity to break through to the Mahayana realm.
"It seems that the competition at this barter conference will be very fierce."
A moment later, Qu Nishang walked over from a distance with a list and handed it to Ye Yang.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is the list of treasures for this exchange event. It details all the treasures up for auction and their starting prices."
Ye Yang took the list and quickly scanned it.
The list is filled with dozens of treasures, each with a detailed description and starting bid.
Most of them are mid-to-low-grade immortal treasures and Dao artifacts, with only two or three high-grade immortal treasures, and only one top-grade immortal treasure, the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo.
Azure Dragon Embryo: An acquired Azure Dragon embryo made of Yi Wood, containing pure Yi Wood power and dragon energy, which can assist cultivators in breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. If one is exceptionally talented, one can also use this to refine the dragon energy and condense the Azure Dragon Dao.
This lays the groundwork for future spiritual practice.
Its starting price was as high as tens of thousands of immortal stones, and as soon as it was listed, it attracted the attention of many Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm experts.
Several powerful patriarchs, including Daoist Xiyang, had long been eyeing him covetously. (End of Chapter)
