Tai'a Compass?

Tai'a Compass?

Yi Yun knew about this item; it was a national treasure of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

When Yunhuang Purple Cloud Emergence, the Tai'a Divine Kingdom used the Tai'a Compass to find treasure. In fact, the Tai'a Compass was mostly used for treasure hunting, so it was also known as the Treasure Seeking Compass by the common people.

"And what was the result of the divination?" Yi Yun asked.

The result was... a terrible omen!

The middle-aged Scholar looked solemn. "Actually, before the divination, I myself had an ominous premonition. I couldn't predict what the future would hold."

The middle-aged Scholar shook his head. The future is the most mysterious and unpredictable thing. It is too difficult for a sage to foresee the future. He can only have a vague premonition.

"Shepherd Boy..."

Yi Yun was unsure of what to feel. Originally, the Tai'a Divine Kingdom had only begun martial law and contacted allies to prepare for war because of the appearance of the Shepherd Boy. Whether the actual Beast Tide would occur was still an unknown.

People hoped it was just a false alarm, but now, judging from the words of the Lord of Tai'a Divine City, the Tai'a Divine Kingdom is probably really facing a disaster.

Recalling his meeting with the Shepherd Boy, Yi Yun found it hard to believe that the seemingly peaceful and gentle boy, like a country farm boy, was a murderous demon whose appearance would be accompanied by a bloodbath.

What kind of person is he?

"Yi Yun, the future of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom is uncertain. This divine kingdom has existed for far too long, and I sense a trace of decline emanating from it... I cannot see its future, but I suspect that this calamity might be an opportunity for the Tai'a Divine Kingdom to rise from the ashes. If it survives, the divine kingdom may be reborn, but if the outcome is different..."

The middle-aged Scholar stopped there and didn't continue.

Yi Yun was alarmed. The situation seemed more serious than he had imagined. Could such a large country really be destroyed?

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Yi Yun, you deserve the most credit this time, and I will reward you. You are about to break through to the Yuan Foundation stage, and I have a pill here that you can use right now."

Lord of Tai'a Divine City spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun took the porcelain bottle, opened the cap, and a deep red pill, as red as blood, mischievously rolled out.

Just holding this pill made Yi Yun feel a burning sensation in his palm, as if he were holding a ball of fire.

"Many years ago, I obtained a Primordial Relic Medicine called Dragon Blood Lingzhi. This Primordial Relic Medicine looks exactly like Lingzhi. If you cut its root and cap with a knife, a bright red sap, like blood, will flow out, hence its name."

"Dragon Blood Lingzhi is extremely difficult to capture, even more so than the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng you obtained. I used it as the main ingredient to refine the Blood Yang Pill. The Blood Yang Pill is an extremely Yang medicine. You originally cultivated the Pure Yang Law, and because of your fortuitous encounter, you now possess a portion of the Pure Yang Body. Consuming this Blood Yang Pill before you break through to the Yuan Foundation stage will greatly benefit you!"

"Breaking through to the Origin Foundation Realm and taking the Blood Yang Pill would be a waste for an ordinary person, not to mention a waste of spiritual energy, they would probably explode and die after taking it. But I believe that giving you the Blood Yang Pill is making the best use of it."

"At that time, I will make Heaven-grade Rooms on the ninety-ninth floor of the Central Divine Tower so you can cultivate in seclusion and break through. The Blood Yang Pill will make your Origin Foundation Realm even more solid!"

"Remember, the Origin Foundation Realm is extremely important. Yuan means 'first' and Ji means 'foundation.' The Origin Foundation Realm is the foundation of your martial arts. You must build your Yuanji solidly, as it concerns your future achievements!"

After hearing the middle-aged Scholar's many words, Yi Yun felt genuinely grateful. Such favorable conditions were probably the highest level of treatment any young martial artist in the entire Tai'a Divine Kingdom could enjoy when breaking through to the Yuanji stage!

He worked sincerely for the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, and the Tai'a Divine Kingdom treated him well; such a relationship was extremely rare.

"This is for you too!"

As the middle-aged Scholar spoke, he handed Yi Yun a wooden box.

The wooden box had an antique design. Yi Yun took it with both hands and felt a sudden weight in his hands. This wood was many times heavier than iron.

It is Heavenly Darkwood.

Yi Yun recognized this type of wood. Heavenly Darkwood is harder than gold and iron, and can remain unrotted even after being buried underground for 100,000 years. However, the Heavenly Darkwood wood box in Yi Yun's hand was covered with the marks of time, looking mottled and old. He had no idea how many years this box had been through.

Yi Yun opened the wooden box. Inside, there was a piece of yellow silk, on which were placed nine jade slips.

All the jade slips were laid out in a row, each one larger than the last. Yi Yun could feel the warmth of the jade slip in his hand, as if he were holding flesh and blood.

"This is... the <Tai'a Sacred Law>!" Yi Yun's eyes lit up.

"Indeed, these are the complete set of jade slips for the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. These nine jade slips correspond to the nine levels of the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, with fewer jade slips available at higher levels. In particular, the ninth jade slip is a unique copy!"

"Since ancient times, emperors of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and Lord of Tai'a Divine City, all those who have achieved great mastery in the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, have attempted to replicate the ninth level of the <Tai'a Sacred Law> jade slip, but all have failed. The few copies that exist are far too different from the original!"

Copying a cultivation technique is extremely difficult, requiring the copyist to have mastered the technique to have this ability. And to master the <Tai'a Sacred Law> to perfection is even more difficult.

"I am now passing these nine jade slips to you. They are the foundation of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom! It is widely believed that the <Tai'a Sacred Law> was created by the Founding Divine Emperor the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, but that is not true... This set of sacred laws was obtained by His Founding Divine Emperor from an ancient ruin. These nine jade slips in your hands are the original versions that His Majesty the Divine Emperor brought out from the ruin!"

"From now on, the jade slips will remain with you. If a disaster truly befalls you, I will take them away. You... do not yet have the ability to protect them."

"These nine jade slips are impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire. They have been passed down in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom for millions of years and have always been preserved intact. I don't want them to be lost in my hands!"

As the middle-aged Scholar spoke, he looked at Yi Yun solemnly and placed one hand on Yi Yun's shoulder.

Yi Yun felt that the hand was very heavy.

These nine jade slips were actually original jade slips left behind by the Founding Divine Emperor, and their value is self-evident.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Tai'a Divine City gave him the original jade slip for cultivation.

This kindness is truly immense.

The Lord of Tai'a Divine City placed such high hopes on Yi Yun, thinking that in case anything happened to the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, he could leave some seeds for the kingdom.

Once these seeds take root and sprout, they can grow into towering trees in the future...
