Chapter 3: The Birth of a Precious Treasure?

  Tianyuan Continent, Mingyu Mountain Range.

  This mountain range, on the Tianyuan continent, has always been a place of dread, and can be said to be one of the most dangerous places.

  For many years, the old villagers living around have known that this mountain contains countless dangers, and no one who enters can come out alive. The dark clouds shroud it every day, as if it were a gloomy ghostly lair, and the name of this underworld comes from this.

  "Haha, Shixiong, we've cultivated in seclusion for fifty years, now we can finally descend the mountain and travel!"

  At this time, a group of extraordinary young people, riding swords across the sky, as if shooting stars, instantly descended on the outskirts of the Nether Mountains.

  A fair-skinned, white-robed, handsome young man with an excited face was shouting at his fellow disciples around him.

  "Yes, I think of the Tianyuan Sect. Since landing on this Tianyuan continent, with unparalleled strength, we defeated all the native cultivators, forcing them to retreat one by one, for three thousand years already!"

  They are all the outstanding young people of the Tianyuan Sect, and this time they have come down from the mountain to travel around the Tianyuan Continent, explore, cultivate their minds, and seek a bigger breakthrough.

  "Wang Qi, my fellow practitioner, on our journey so far, the foolish commoners around us have been saying that the Mingyu Mountains are treacherous and inhabited by man-eating demons. Hmph, what a joke! These ordinary people don't understand anything, how would they know the methods of a cultivator like me?"

  "That's right, we cultivators are against the heavens to begin with. What's more, all of us have successfully built our foundations. With a Golden Elixir in our bellies and our techniques refined, even if we were to encounter some kind of demon, it would be looking for death!"

  Several fellow disciples chatted and laughed as they walked straight into the depths of the Mingyu Mountains.

  ……

  In the dim imperial mausoleum, Wang Qian was practicing the "Undying Scripture" with rapt attention.

  Time flies, years are like arrows, in the crystal coffin, colorful clouds shine brightly, misty and flowing, as if giving birth to a divine fetus.

  Wang Qian only felt that the Undying Secret Manual was profound and subtle to the extreme. After passing through the first layer of Jiemie, when he started practicing with his corpse, he finally felt the power of this technique.

  Boom!

  Endless crimson energy burst out from the Corpse Dan in his Sea of Consciousness, forming a sharp arrow in almost one breath, leaving his Divine Court and rushing towards the major acupoints and meridians all over his body.

  The physical body of Tianyuan the Great Emperor, after experiencing a long period of condensation and refinement, had reached an unimaginable level, as solid as diamond and as flexible as divine silk. However, in the past, it was all natural creation, although it was also extremely impressive, but it couldn't compare to Wang Qian's current mastery of the Undying Scripture, which was left behind by his minister, to cultivate the treasure.

  Every meridian was opened up by the crimson primordial energy, and the primordial energy inside his body had become extremely dense. This sudden eruption was like a mountain flood rushing forth, its momentum unstoppable, ferociously sweeping away everything in its path. In an instant, all the meridians throughout his entire body were cleared. His body was solid, his primordial energy abundant, and he was currently in a zombie state, so he didn't feel any pain at all. This allowed him to cultivate without holding back, clearing every single blockage in his meridians, leaving nothing behind. The crimson flood surged past, forming wide, sturdy meridians.

  "Haha, this is indeed the case of 'previous generations plant trees and later generations enjoy the shade'. The Heavenly Emperor Yuan was truly a great good person, even in death he left me such precious legacy! With this corpse, my cultivation of the Secret to Immortality will be twice as effective!"

  Wang Gan's heart and soul were all stirred up, the feeling of having his meridians unblocked made him feel as if he had taken a big puff of smoke, extremely comfortable and carefree.

  "Alright, I'm already at the Corpse Soldier realm myself. This refinement of the body is actually a simple matter for me! Continue to open up the acupoints!"

  After passing through all the meridians, Wang Gan didn't stop at all. His heart and spirit flowed freely, and all the primordial energy in his body circulated according to the mysterious route of the Undying Secret Classic. After that, he completely formed the Undying True Origin, which was blood-red, like blood jade, extremely beautiful, yet contained powerful destructive and tearing forces.

  Next, he continued to absorb the spiritual energy in the mausoleum, refining it into his own indestructible true yuan, and then began to impact the acupoints.

  The human body is extremely mysterious, more precise than the most complex and profound machine in the world. In the eyes of a cultivator, their own flesh is the supreme Taoist body between heaven and earth. Therefore, whether it's ferocious beasts or birds, mountains, rocks, or trees, once cultivation is successful, they will all transform into human form to better adapt to cultivation.

  Wang Qian watched the Undying Secret Classic, which recorded that in the human body, there are 480 million apertures, shining like the stars of the nine heavens, densely packed, and each aperture can cultivate a god with infinite divine power, shaking the heavenly might.

  So this immortal secret classic, in the cultivation of the realm of the dead, apart from having to open up all the meridians in the body, also needs to penetrate all the orifices in the body. In the future, it will absorb endless primordial energy, refine and transform it into itself, break through the void, and condense the divine spirit.

  Wang Gan cultivated on one side, and in his heart, he sighed with emotion. No wonder many cultivators didn't covet worldly pleasures; now he finally understood that when cultivating, the feeling of mysterious changes in his body was a pleasure that surpassed any worldly enjoyment.

  The moment he started impacting the acupoint, Wang Qian felt his body shake, and an unparalleled excitement surged in his heart!

  "My blood vessels are unblocked, although this zombie body of mine has not yet reached the most perfect state, but compared to many zombies, it's much better! My body is flexible and free to move, I can finally walk without jumping around like those legendary ones!"

  He thought of the zombies he had seen in those movies, stumbling and staggering like idiots, and felt a chill run down his spine. Now that he was one himself, however, he could shake off that awkwardness, and what a relief it was!

  Actually, this is just because Wang Qian's vision is relatively shallow. Those jumping zombies are all spiritual and chaotic, like newborn babies. The corpses they cultivate are naturally formed, with countless defects. Although they avoided the fate of rotting into white bones, their bodies were still stiff and could only jump around. How can it be compared to Wang Qian who cultivates the zombie ancestors' ultimate secret manual left behind by his lord?

  Whoosh!

  The wind howled and King Qian's hands suddenly rose, but he only gently patted the crystal coffin lid. The lid came off as if it had no weight, like a feather, floating down to the ground without making a sound.

  Sitting cross-legged, Wang Gan continued to practice his skills. With one rotation of the method, he felt a coolness on top of his head.

  Above the mausoleum, those carved sun, moon and stars, complex patterns, at this moment, all radiant with a vast, endless silver light, forming a substantial beam of light that shines through to Wang Qian's head, as if silver sand, merging into his body.

  "Hmm? The mausoleum of the Heavenly Emperor is indeed not simple, and it actually contains such a profound formation that can attract the power of the nine heavens to descend. However, this is just right, as the starlight's power is the most refined and pure, even higher than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It will be greatly beneficial for my cultivation!"

  Wang Qian suddenly discovered that since he had died inexplicably on Earth and come to the Tianyuan Continent, his luck had taken a turn for the better, with a trend of explosive good fortune. First, he was able to preserve his soul, then seize this corpse, and even obtain the "Undying Secret Classic", an unparalleled cultivation method. Now, he also has the Nameless Divine Array, which can mobilize the power of the Nine Heavens Star Force to flow through his body, truly a streak of good luck.

  Overjoyed, he completely gathered his mind and spirit, disregarding everything else, thoroughly immersing himself in cultivation. His body rumbled with a deafening sound, as if countless thunderbolts were constantly exploding within him. One by one, the apertures were opened up, forming mysterious chaotic spaces. The threads of creation energy flowed through them, seemingly nurturing something.

  Just as Wang Qian activated the formation at the top of the mausoleum, mobilizing the power of the nine heavenly stars, a mountain peak in the central part of the Mingyu Mountains suddenly erupted with intense energy. The starlight at the horizon surged greatly, and on this dark night, it could be seen clearly from tens of thousands of miles away.

  Silver light shines brightly, treasure light spreads everywhere!

  "Brother Wang Qi, look quickly!"

  In a valley thousands of miles away, several fellow disciples of the Tianyuan Sect were sitting cross-legged in meditation, absorbing the essence of the moon's energy. The atmosphere was serene and peaceful, when suddenly a loud roar broke the tranquility of the valley. All the cultivators who were immersed in their meditation opened their eyes, and beams of spiritual light illuminated the darkness, revealing their extraordinary abilities.

  "Li Shidi, what's your name... Ah!"

  This is Wang Qi, the leader of the Tianyuan Sect's disciples, with the highest cultivation and most noble status. Everyone naturally looks up to him as their leader. However, this senior brother was initially disturbed during his meditation and still had a lingering sense of discontent in his heart. In an instant, he widened his eyes and stared intently at a distant point in the night sky, where a breathtaking scene was unfolding like a celestial wonder.

  In the distance, a high mountain peak stood tall, completely transformed into a dazzling silver color, and in the darkness, it seemed like a lighthouse, shining brightly to all directions.

  All of Tianyuan Sect's disciples suddenly woke up and stared at the distant horizon in shock, as if witnessing a miracle where the Milky Way had turned upside down.

  "What a precious treasure has been born!"

  "A strange phenomenon appears in the sky, it must be a treasure born into the world. This radiance is absolutely not an ordinary spiritual light, but a supreme treasure light. Could it be that a precious artifact has emerged?"

  One of the disciples let out a loud wail, his voice trembling faintly.

  "What? Treasure?"

  "Hurry, hurry, with such a big commotion, I hope there aren't any other cultivators in this mountain range of the underworld. Let's go quickly!"

  That Wang Qi also couldn't remain calm, his face turned red, and he even emitted a bright red glow in the dark night, obviously a manifestation of his body's true yuan surging out of control, showing that his mind was unstable.

  "Wang Shixiong is right, this matter must be done quickly. If it's a precious artifact, then for our Tianyuan Sect, it would be an unprecedented opportunity! Hurry up and go, hurry up!"

  Several young disciples of the Tianyuan Sect were completely excited, their hearts beating wildly like crazy, rushing towards the depths of the night.

  Wang Qi let out a loud whistle and charged forward first, while flying through the mountains and forests, he also shook his hand and flipped out a small and exquisite jade sword. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and with a swing of his arm, the small sword disappeared into the night sky.

  "Haha, still Brother Wang Qi is calm and composed. Such a big matter must be reported to the seniors of the sect. What if some powerful cultivators come to seize it? We would definitely not be their match!"

  These days, the disciples of Yuanzong are all in the foundation-building period, and they can already control their swords to fly. When they move around, it's like lightning, fast beyond imagination, and in an instant, they can cover a distance of hundreds of miles.

  Almost at the same moment, some places near the Mingyu Mountains on the Tianyuan Continent had a faintly flashing light, and the piercing howling sound continued to come from the night sky.

  Yu Huashan, three thousand miles away from the Mingyue mountain range, a thatched cottage stood alone on the top of the mountain.

  "Hmm? The Mountains of Purgatory? A thousand feet of silver light, could it be that an extraordinary treasure has been born?"

  A faint whispering sound arose, followed by a flash of gray shadow, and Jade Flower Mountain was quiet once again.

  Mount Senzan

  Five thousand miles away from the Mountains of Purgatory, five rays of light shone brightly like a dragon, flashing across the night sky and disappearing without a trace.

  ……

  Tonight, the Tianyuan Continent, countless jade slips transmitted messages, countless sword lights shone brightly, and it could be said that a piece of news stirred up the quietness. The Mingyu Mountains, which had been silent for thousands of years, suddenly became lively.
