Heavenly River's Hidden Legacy, Spirit Eye Advancement

"Welcome, Yuanjun!"

From afar, Nishang Yuanjun saw Supreme Dao Li Sanxian bowing to her.

Her expression was slightly embarrassed.

She was acquainted with Patriarch Xuanding; they had known each other Previous Epoch.

This Li Sanxian attained enlightenment in this era, but she couldn't enter the Xuanwei in recent years, so we didn't actually have much interaction.

I only heard that he was the most outstanding disciple of the Supreme Dao in this era.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall Zheng Fa, whom she had met not long ago, and shook her head slightly.

Being late is already impolite, but to make such a comparison is truly Supreme Dao and inappropriate.

"I've been delayed too long." Seeing the slight surprise in Li Sanxian's eyes, Nishang Yuanjun explained, then changed the subject, "Where's the Xuanding?"

"The Founder is temporarily unavailable and is awaiting the arrival of the Primordial Sovereign."

Nishang Yuanjun frowned, feeling inexplicably anxious.

She knew that Xuanding wouldn't have been so rude unless things had gone badly.

This place is two hundred miles away from the Tianhe Sect, Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram can still be seen in the distance, floating in the void.

What lay before us was almost entirely a military camp.

The military tents stretched endlessly to the horizon, and even with her keen eyesight, she couldn't discern how vast the camp truly was.

Thousands upon thousands of cultivators moved about in the camp.

Some appeared to be on patrol.

Some of them seemed to be transporting supplies, refining elixirs, or even forging Law Artifact.

Busy, never stopping.

She couldn't help but look at Li Sanxian.

"There are now many members of the Nine Nether Devil Sect within the Tianhe Sect; we must be wary."

Nishang Yuanjun suddenly realized and asked, "So, the entire Tianhe Sect has been surrounded?"

"Indeed," Li Sanxian replied, "Most of the cultivators from my Supreme Dao and Vast Sun Mountain are here."

Nishang Yuanjun glanced at the camp again, then moved swiftly and flashed into a white tent. There, she saw a map, account book, and counting rods in front of Xuanding True Immortal. She didn't even look up when she entered.

Nishang Yuanjun was aware of Xuanding's eccentricities, and simply asked, "What's the situation?"

Patriarch Xuanding looked up, his brow furrowed. He didn't ask why she was so late, but simply said:

"The Vast Sun is weak."

Nishang Yuanjun frowned, not understanding.

Then, Patriarch Xuanding added, "We lack Law Artifact."

He uttered six words at once; it seems Xuanding is getting a little anxious...

She understood.

Setting up an array requires a large amount of manpower and resources.

Besides Spirit Stone, many Law Artifact Law Treasure are also needed.

Because of the powerful weapon-forging techniques of Vast Sun Mountain, many items used for setting up formations are made by them.

Embarrassingly, 20% of the Spirit Vein of Vast Sun Mountain were also destroyed.

Nowadays, the spiritual resources in Vast Sun Mountain are somewhat scarce.

Li Sanxian, who was standing nearby, thoughtfully added, "Cloud True Immortal of Vast Sun Mountain hasn't arrived yet; he's only sent a disciple."

She now understood why Xuanding was so angry.

Unfortunately, at present, Loose Immortal Luo has not yet been resurrected on Vast Sun Mountain, and there is only Cloud True Immortal among the Dao Fruit cultivators.

Since Cloud True Immortal is currently unavailable, Xuanding will likely have to take care of the Vast Sun Mountain disciples as well.

Given Xuanding's temperament, he is probably already annoyed and fed up with the disturbance.

She immediately felt relieved.

What does the problem at Vast Sun Mountain have to do with my Jade Pool?

Just the three of us?

"Yes, the people from Thunderclap Temple Thunderclap Temple probably about to set off. Cloud True Immortal will only depart after they arrive," Li Sanxian answered dutifully.

Nishang Yuanjun smiled, "Vast Sun Mountain really isn't in a hurry at all."

"It's urgent. He said he needs to arrange for Loose Immortal Luo's revival," Li Sanxian said softly. "However, they're probably afraid we'll turn against them, and are deliberately waiting for the people from Thunderclap Temple."

The expression on Nishang Yuanjun's face was also strange.

It seems like they're specifically targeting you, someone with the surname Li!

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor possesses extraordinary strength, and coupled with the Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation, he is truly a major threat to the Four Sects.

Moreover, this person also had old grudges with the Four Sects, making them mortal enemies.

He's causing trouble in the Tianhe Sect, which is making Four Sects very anxious.

But there are always people who are more anxious.

Jade Pool and Thunderclap Temple are far away in the Western Continent, which is not as good as Vast Sun Mountain and Supreme Dao, which are adjacent to the Tianhe Sect.

Therefore, the main force in this siege of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor still has to be the Supreme Dao and Vast Sun Mountain.

Of course, when the Tianhe Sect's territory is divided up in the future, these two sects will take the lion's share.

The problem is that the Four Sects were already on the verge of a complete falling out.

The reason why Cloud True Immortal, who should have been the most anxious, was so slow to arrive was, frankly, because he was afraid that Supreme Dao and he himself would surround and annihilate him first.

After all, this guy surnamed Li really did do something like that before...

Nishang Yuanjun couldn't help but glance at Li Sanxian, her heart filled with disdain:

Not only did they waste the great opportunity created by Sect Leader Zheng, they also made that guy surnamed Yun wary!

Seemingly sensing the look in Nishang Yuanjun's eyes, Li Sanxian coughed lightly and said, "Now that Yuan Jun is here, the formation on the north side of the Tianhe Sect will be entrusted to you."

Nishang Yuanjun looked at Xuanding Xuanding, who nodded and handed her several array diagrams.

She didn't refuse, putting it into her sleeve, and then asked Li Sanxian, "How long will it take to set up this grand formation?"

"With the combined strength of the Four Sects, it can be accomplished in forty years."

Nishang Yuanjun frowned slightly.

Thinking she couldn't wait, Li Sanxian said, "Yuanjun, this Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation is no ordinary matter..."

"It's not that I'm afraid of that, it's that..." Nishang Yuanjun shook her head, "My Four Sects sects are all focused on the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor and the Tianhe Sect, but what about the other Devil Ancestor?"

Silence fell over the tent for a moment.

It wasn't until the True Immortal Xuanding slowly spoke that he said, "The Devil Ancestor fears the Nine Nether."

Nishang Yuanjun paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, no longer hesitating, and changed the subject. "After destroying the Tianhe Sect, the territory will belong to you and the Supreme Dao."

"What happened to the treasures of the Tianhe Sect?"

The tent fell silent again until Li Sanxian chuckled, "It seems Jade Pool is quite certain that Venerable Tianhe left something behind."

"It seems that back then, Venerable Tianhe for Jade Pool..."

Nishang Yuanjun looked up at him, and the emotion in her eyes made Li Sanxian speechless for a moment, and he dared not say anything more.

"Try to find."

Patriarch Xuanding spoke.

"Indeed, in the last calamity, we searched the Tianhe but couldn't find it."

Nishang Yuanjun nodded.

Li Sanxian nodded in agreement. "This time, even if we have to turn the Tianhe Sect upside down... we will find it."

Nishang Yuanjun laughed and said, "Each relies on their own methods?"

Patriarch Xuanding nodded slightly, his eyes sharpening.

True Immortal Xuanding disliked small talk. After asking some more questions, Nishang Yuanjun simply took her leave and prepared to take her disciples to their residence.

Li Sanxian escorted her out of the camp, and halfway there he suddenly asked, "Yuanjun, is that thing really at the Tianhe Sect?"

"I don't know... but the Tianhe Sect must have kept something."

Upon hearing Nishang Yuanjun's words, Li Sanxian seemed completely convinced and asked no further questions, only adding:

"My Lord, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's methods are treacherous, and the cultivators in the camp may not be trustworthy. This array diagram also contains intelligence; I hope you will be vigilant."

Nishang Yuanjun replied decisively, "I understand. Even among the disciples of the sect, I will not easily reveal the details."

Li Sanxian said self-deprecatingly, "It was my fault for being so talkative."

Nishang Yuanjun and the others didn't stay in tents; after all, they were female cultivators and weren't used to it.

Fortunately, they had brought a magnificent hall with them, and the group settled in there.

She went into the room, took out the Comprehensive Mirror), opened the Spirit Message, and sent a message to Zheng Fa:

"Sect Leader Zheng..."

She thought about it and felt that the way she addressed her was a bit too distant, so she changed it to:

"Sect Leader..."

Seemingly feeling it was too intimate, she changed it again:

"Alliance Leader, I have just arrived in Tianhe and have already met with Xuanding..."

"There are 8,400 Supreme Dao cultivators here, Vast Sun Mountain has..."

"The formation will take another forty years to complete..."

Looking at the long passage in the Spirit Message from the Nishang Yuanjun, which seemed like a report yet also like casual conversation, Zheng Fa couldn't help but admire her:

Nishang Yuanjun, so delicate!

The deeper his relationship with the man, the more he felt how meticulous and thoughtful he was.

After she left the Nine Mountains Realm, she kept in touch with me frequently, even sending me messages every day.

This Yuanjun wasn't a chatterbox like Xie Qingxue; rather, she was deliberately trying to strengthen her connection and deepen their relationship.

But she doesn't waste words; every message she sends contains a lot of valuable information.

Upon closer inspection, Zheng Fa discovered that what she said described seven or eight tenths of the arrangement of Vast Sun Mountain, and two or three tenths of the situation of Supreme Dao.

As for Jade Pool?

Not even one-tenth.

That shows great tact.

Even if she is exposed in the future, the Nishang Yuanjun will still be completely innocent.

It must be said that the Divine Way, as a high-end service industry unique to the Xuanwei, seems to be quite a training ground for people.

After reading the message from Nishang Yuanjun, he handed the Creation Jade Disc to Xie Qingxue in the hall.

Xie Qingxue was puzzled at first, but after reading it, her face turned pale.

"The Four Sects have such a poor relationship, yet they can still unite to deal with my Tianhe..."

Xie Qingxue discovered the key.

Despite her apparent enjoyment in selling Vast Sun Mountain, Nishang Yuanjun is still quite enthusiastic about dealing with the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

I wonder what the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor and the others did.

Zheng Fa raised his hand and said, "Judging from what this Nishang Yuanjun said, it will take them another forty years to set up the formation. Sect Master Yan should be safe for the time being."

Actually, look at the intrigue and power struggles between the Supreme Dao and Thunderclap Temple.

He seriously doubted whether it could be accomplished in forty years.

This consolation was sincere, even somewhat reassuring.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingxue suppressed her anxiety and slowly nodded, saying, "Actually, I can go back later. My junior brother has already Nascent Soul Formation and doesn't need my care. I just need to ask the Sect Leader to give him some guidance in the future, so he can understand some things about the world."

This wasn't the first time Xie Qingxue had expressed this sentiment to him.

Even now, her dedication to the Nine Mountains Sect and her willingness to impart all her knowledge to the Nine Mountains disciples are also for this purpose.

Sect Master Yan... has a very good eye for people.

Zheng Fa looked intently at Xie Qingxue, unable to say anything.

This Fairy Xie is even more measured than the Nishang Yuanjun.

Despite wanting to save her master, she didn't even mention asking Zheng Fa or the Nine Mountains Sect to help.

However, Nishang Yuanjun's sense of proportion was very shrewd.

Xie Qingxue's sense of propriety stemmed from her thoughtfulness and kindness.

Seemingly understanding Zheng Fa's gaze, Xie Qingxue smiled and said, "I learned the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation at the Nine Mountains Sect. Even if I return, I can do so without anyone noticing. Sect Leader, there's no need to worry."

"Furthermore, I can also go and see if the Founder left behind a cultivation method for the next realm of the Celestial River Method."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

He summoned Xie Qingxue to discuss this matter.

The Yellow Court Scripture is very powerful, but it is also very troublesome to cultivate, especially since there is no precedent for this kind of Cultivation Method in Xuanwei. It requires you to create it step by step, which makes it even more difficult.

At this time, Zheng Fa's Dharma Body was at least at the level of Loose Immortal immortal.

Firstly, he was unwilling to let his strength become unbalanced again, and secondly, he was somewhat wary of the Fusang Wood. Therefore, he would not cultivate his Dharma Body any further in the short term.

Now, with the help of the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, his Yang Spirit has also been Corpse Liberation.

Based on this calculation, the next step for the * Yellow Court Scripture * is stuck on the Celestial River Method.

The problem is that the next step in the Celestial River Method is something the Tianhe Sect has never done before.

He didn't even know whether Venerable Tianhe had perfected the Celestial River Method back then.

Until the Three Patriarchs' Dao Contest, Venerable Tianhe gave him a pleasant surprise.

"The Daoist techniques demonstrated by the Founder that day..." Xie Qingxue affirmed, "Definitely surpassed the Body Integration Realm..."

"And it's pure Celestial River Method!"

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

He had also practiced the Celestial River Method, so he naturally had a sense of it.

Moreover, the Three Patriarchs' Dao Contest was essentially a display of the power of their own Cultivation Method.

Venerable Tianhe's character wouldn't allow him to demonstrate other methods.

The problem is... Venerable Tianhe, like a magician, showed off and then ran away, leaving Zheng Fa and Xie Qingxue both surprised and delighted, completely bewildered.

"The Founder must have had a purpose in demonstrating this method; perhaps he left behind a legacy somewhere," Xie Qingxue speculated.

That makes a lot of sense.

"I've already sent Xiao Yuying and the others to search for more of Venerable Tianhe's relics."

"Moreover, if it were only for this method, I wouldn't want you Fairy Xie, to take such a risk... The next step in the Celestial River Method, our Nine Mountains Sect will study it further; perhaps we can figure it out."

"Also, Venerable Tianhe might really dislike the Tianhe Sect..."

Zheng Fa rambled on and on, seemingly very confident in the research capabilities of the Nine Mountains Sect.

Xie Qingxue looked at him, then suddenly smiled, "What about time?"

"..."

"I naturally believe in the research capabilities of the Nine Mountains disciples, but will Vast Sun Mountain, Thunderclap Temple, and the Ancient Immortals give us that much time?"

Zheng Fa remained silent.

"Besides, what Founder relics can compare to the Tianhe Sect?"

Zheng Fa was increasingly speechless.

In a sense, the Tianhe Sect is the greatest legacy of Venerable Tianhe.

"Besides, I'm not going back because of that."

Zheng Fa opened his mouth, about to speak again, but Xie Qingxue added, "I am a sword cultivator."

Hearing this, Zheng Fa finally gave up and stopped trying to persuade him.

While the two were in silence, Uncle-Master Pang and Senior Sister Zhang arrived from Heavenly Market Enclosure, both with joy on their faces.

"How?"

"Very smooth! We didn't encounter many dangers along the way!"

As Uncle-Master Pang spoke, he took out a jade box from his sleeve, opened it, and inside were dozens of densely packed green jade bottles.

Zheng Fa also showed a look of joy.

This is the first trial run of the East-West Continent Trade Route.

For safety reasons, they didn't even use the Divine Firmament Warship, but instead had dozens of Nascent Soul relay the transport along the way—mainly to test whether the route was truly safe.

In this way, the delivery speed was very fast, and it took only four months to travel from Jade Pool to the Nine Mountains Realm.

What delighted Zheng Fa even more was that the item being transported this time was the Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew that he had always longed for.

He couldn't forget this thing ever since the Six-Sect Alliance Assembly.

There's no other reason than that this stuff is extremely beneficial for cultivating spiritual vision.

The most essential element of the "Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation" technique is the Spirit Eye Technique.

Otherwise, this Cultivation Method would be almost impossible to master—it would be too difficult for anyone to remember the composition of everything.

With the powerful Spirit Eye Technique, cultivators who have mastered the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation can adapt their Law Technique to the circumstances without needing to memorize them by rote.

The barriers to entry have been significantly lowered.

Therefore, during the first trial run of the trade route, Zheng Fa specifically requested this item.

The Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew isn't expensive; a bottle of it costs about a hundred Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew Spirit Stone, which is close to the cost of running the Nine-Chapter Calculation Formation once.

That's roughly the price of pills for the Golden Core Stage.

Of course, this was bought at Jade Pool.

If this were in the Eastern Continent, the price of this thing would be ten or a hundred times higher, and it might even be impossible to buy.

Nishang Yuanjun was quite generous; she instructed her subordinates to give the Nine Mountains Sect a cost price.

"According to Yuanjun, this stuff only lasts for ten or eight times before its effects diminish," Senior Sister Zhang said. "I wonder if it can further enhance the Void-Piercing Spirit Eye."

Uncle-Master Pang also looked somewhat excited. "Maybe it can help the Void-Piercing Spirit Eye advance to the Void-Piercing?"

The Void-Piercing Spirit Eye was his signature technique, and it was also an extremely important research tool for the Nine Mountains Sect.

However, since obtaining this spiritual eye, he has cultivated for thousands of years, but has remained at the second level of Microscopic Insight, unable to reach the threshold of the Void-Piercing.

Looking at those bottles of Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew, he couldn't help but feel envious and said, "How about..."

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly spoke up, "Junior Brother, why don't you give it a try?"

Uncle-Master Pang was taken aback. He looked at Zheng Fa, then at Xie Qingxue, and found that she was also nodding. He couldn't help but feel a little indignant. Everyone in the Nine Mountains Sect was now currying favor with Zheng Fa, and all the good things were going to him. There was no respect for teachers anymore!

Seeing the eager look on his face, Zheng Fa chuckled, "Uncle-Master, we still have doubts about the effects of this Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew. If there are any problems..."

Uncle-Master Pang understood, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

The Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew is a good thing, but it is, after all, a kind of spirit medicine that the Nine Mountains Sect has not studied. If it is taken rashly, no one knows whether there will be any problems.

But Zheng Fa drank it and it didn't cause him any major problems.

Having written the * Yellow Court Scripture *, he could correct minor problems at any time.

They are excellent candidates for the experiment.

But if someone surnamed Pang drinks recklessly and something goes wrong, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Uncle-Master Pang looked at Senior Sister Zhang and said in a low voice, "So, Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang, you were thinking of me..."

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at her senior uncle, and seeing that he seemed about to apologize, she simply said, "This disciple has no such intention."

"Then why, junior disciple..."

Uncle-Master Pang was halfway through his sentence when he looked into Senior Sister Zhang's bright and clear eyes and suddenly understood. He gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it! The Nine Mountains Sect has a bad atmosphere now!"

Zheng Fa smiled, opened a bottle of Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew, and poured it into his mouth.

A moment later, he felt a cool sensation in his eyes, along with a slight itch.

He used his Void-Piercing Spirit Eye, and silver light surged from his eyes as he looked around. He found that there hadn't been much change, but it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

Once the coolness and itchiness subsided, Zheng Fa simply picked up another bottle of Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew and drank it down.

Three bottles...

Four bottles...

Five bottles...

Under Uncle-Master Pang's slightly distressed gaze, Zheng Fa drank seven bottles of Hundred-Flower Spirit Dew in a row. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and suddenly some gold appeared in the silver light in his eyes.

The gold grew in abundance, coalescing into a cluster.

As the excruciating pain slowly subsided, Zheng Fa's eyes changed: the whites of his eyes turned silver, and his pupils became golden.

"It's done?"

Uncle-Master Pang called out softly, but Zheng Fa stared blankly ahead.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of the Nine Mountains Realm, revealing the Xuanwei scenery.

The view was distorted and layered, as if viewed through layers of glass, making it a little dizzying.

Zheng Fa had a sudden realization.

The first level of the Void-Piercing Spirit Eye has the effect of both seeing into the distance and observing qi.

The second layer is like a microscope.

The third layer... seems to be... perspective?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xie Qingxue and Uncle-Master Pang both gathered around, seemingly very curious.

Zheng Fa quickly turned his gaze to Senior Sister Zhang.

After all, looking at Xie Qingxue was a bit impolite to her.

Looking at Uncle-Master Pang, it's very impolite of him to look directly at his own eyes.
