Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda

Once they had become familiar with one another, Nan Ji finally asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Xiao, since this Enlightenment Tea has such effects, why are you and Cao Bao still..."

Nan Ji could not bring himself to say the rest.

But Xiao Sheng immediately understood. What Nan Ji meant was: Why were they still at the Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm?

The usually steady Xiao Sheng hesitated for a moment, his expression seeming to hold other thoughts.

Cao Bao, on the other hand, said carelessly, "Brother Nan, do you think everyone is like you, with an innate great deity as a master?"

After hearing Cao Bao, Xiao Sheng nodded. "My brother and I have cultivated for many years without anyone to guide us. We could not even enter the gates of Purple Cloud Palace."

Hearing the two of them, Nan Ji did not suspect anything and nodded instinctively. "That is true!"

After all, any being who could be a guest at Purple Cloud Palace was undoubtedly a Great Desolation powerhouse.

There were countless billions of beings in the Great Desolation, yet Purple Cloud Palace had only three thousand guests.

Thus, Nan Ji said nothing more. Although he could not impart the Three Pure Ones Primordial Scripture to them, he still shared his own inheritance and understanding while exchanging insights with the two.

Back and forth, the group spoke for several days before finally stopping.

With dark circles under his eyes, Cao Bao could not help complaining, "Brother Nan, what you told us is enough for me to digest for a thousand years."

"My brother and I thank Brother Nan Ji for bestowing us the Dharma!"

As he spoke, Xiao Sheng pulled Cao Bao along and prepared to bow to Nan Ji.

Nan Ji was so frightened that he jumped aside, hurriedly waving his hands. "Brother Xiao, how can you do this?"

Yet when he saw the earnest look in Xiao Sheng's eyes, Nan Ji could only helplessly accept their bow.

At the same time, Nan Ji could not help sighing inwardly.

Cultivation in the Great Desolation was truly difficult.

He might not be like those transmigrator armies, who started out by punching Hongjun and kicking the Three Pure Ones.

But at least he had been fortunate enough to enter Venerable Yuanshi's sect. As long as he built up enough favor, he would not need to worry about surviving in the future.

After the two finished bowing, Nan Ji suddenly slapped his forehead. "I nearly forgot something important!"

"Hm?"

Hearing that Nan Ji had other business, the two looked at him curiously.

Now that they were familiar with one another, Nan Ji did not hide anything and said directly, "Wuyi Mountain has Pure Void Luminous Jade. I want to get some and build palaces for my masters!"

After hearing this, Cao Bao burst into laughter. "Brother Nan, you came to the right people! Among the independent cultivators of Wuyi Mountain, there are only the two of us!"

As he spoke, Cao Bao pointed in a direction. "There, it's that way. Keep going, and there's plenty of it."

Xiao Sheng was somewhat curious. "What do you need that Pure Void Luminous Jade for?"

After all, spiritual energy was abundant in the Great Desolation now, so its built-in illusions were as useless as chicken ribs.

"Do not be fooled by the fact that I am a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. I am poor enough that my pockets jingle. Still, as a disciple, doing something is better than doing nothing."

Nan Ji could not say that spiritual energy would gradually grow thin in the future, but what he said was indeed true.

Thus, the two did not try to keep Nan Ji. They both went into seclusion to digest their recent gains.

Following Cao Bao's directions, Nan Ji transformed into his true form, an immortal crane, and searched through the skies.

It had to be said that the mountains of the Great Desolation were outrageously huge.

Just this single Wuyi Mountain was enough to keep Nan Ji flying for a long time.

The spiritual mist on Nan Ji's wings blended with the spiritual mist covering the earth, and Nan Ji discovered that aside from Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, Wuyi Mountain truly seemed to have no other independent cultivators.

Thinking of it this way, Nan Ji suddenly felt as though he had come to someone else's home to freeload.

After flying for several consecutive days, Nan Ji suddenly saw a flash of white light before him when he reached a certain place.

There it was!

Nan Ji looked closely and found that the mountain below was indeed covered in Pure Void Luminous Jade.

An expanse of white crystals shimmered with dazzlingly pure radiance. Within that white glow, strands of golden light faintly flowed, as though golden lotus blossoms dotted the scene.

The spiritual mist that had gathered over countless years turned the surrounding spiritual energy into fog, creating a spectacular sight!

Only then did he realize that with his original Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, he definitely would not have been able to take away such an enormous mountain of Pure Void Luminous Jade.

"Tsk! Did Eldest Uncle-Master know what I wanted to do, so he gave me this Exquisite Pagoda?"

Looking at the nearly endless stretch of Pure Void Luminous Jade before him, Nan Ji grumbled as he brought out the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

Nan Ji tossed the palm-sized Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda into the air. The pagoda swelled with the wind and, before long, shrouded an area of a hundred li.

Mysterious Yellow Qi poured down from beneath the pagoda, while the thousand golden bells along its sides transformed into enormous bells that rang without end.

"Tr-truly, it is an acquired merit supreme treasure!"

Although Nan Ji had already grown thoroughly familiar with the pagoda, the scene before him still made his mouth fall open.

Sure enough, having Eldest Uncle-Master's affection was wonderful.

All those bows, whether sincere or reluctant, now turned into excitement in Nan Ji's heart.

Thus, Nan Ji did not give it another thought and hurriedly activated his magical power, drawing all the Pure Void Luminous Jade within his sight into the pagoda.

As Nan Ji urged it on, immense suction erupted from the pagoda's base. Thunderous roars rang out continuously as the enormous mass of Pure Void Luminous Jade was instantly sucked into the pagoda.

All that remained was a gigantic pit in the ground.

After shrinking the pagoda, Nan Ji hurriedly put it away and sighed inwardly. Tsk! So there really is a reason the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will become thinner and thinner in the future.

A cultivator at the initial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm like him had already caused such damage to heaven and earth.

When the Witch and Demon clans fought, they would possess the power to burn mountains and fill seas. One could imagine what the Great Desolation would become.

As Nan Ji comforted himself that he was merely preserving the Great Desolation's treasures, he flew toward Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao with guilt in his heart.

After all, he had made such a huge pit in their home, and they were people he knew well. It was rather embarrassing.

Along the way, Nan Ji considered what excuse he should use, unconsciously slowing his flight to a crawl.

Hm?

"Did they break through in cultivation?"

"This disturbance is way too great!"

When Nan Ji reached the place where they had met, the ground as far as he could see looked as though it had been struck by a great powerhouse.

Seeing this scene, Nan Ji could not help sighing inwardly. Mm, it must be a breakthrough after long accumulation. I wonder what realm Brother Xiao and Cao Bao reached!

"Hey, Brother Xiao, Cao Bao! I'm back!"

Although Nan Ji had spent some time in the Great Desolation, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were the only ones he had truly spoken with much.

Thus, as though he had returned to his own home, Nan Ji called out carelessly.

"Hello?"

"Oh, they must still be stabilizing their realms."

Nan Ji recalled that when he had broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he had also needed a long time to stabilize his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Nan Ji did not suspect anything and intended to sit beside the stone table to wait for the two to emerge from seclusion, then properly apologize.

When Nan Ji looked toward the stone table, his pupils shrank slightly and his heart skipped a beat.

The stone table had already shattered into four pieces, while the stone stools had long since been reduced to rubble.

Even the stone cups atop it had shattered, leaving behind only a single cup bottom. Inside it was the unfinished Enlightenment Tea.

Could something have happened?

After all, no matter how someone broke through, they could not possibly blast the stone table and stools apart like this.

Looking carefully, there even seemed to be scorch marks from raging flames.

Could something really have gone wrong?

As though confirming Nan Ji's thoughts, an unfamiliar voice sounded behind him. "Eh? An unexpected gain?"
