Endless Marvels, Spirit Treasure Artifact Spirits

Lan Chang'an shook his head at the harsh cultivation conditions for the <Second Nascent Soul>, showing no interest for the time being.

Unless I advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in the future, thus missing the path to Spirit Transformation, and obtain a special spiritual treasure, I will consider it.

Of these Divine Ability abilities and secret techniques, the one that interested him the most was the <Dragon Riding Technique>.

It is a special supernatural Divine Ability passed down from the Fallen Immortal Realm in High Antiquity.

The caster can control or transform into a dragon shadow, soaring through the sky on it. Wherever the dragon shadow passes, there is no restraint, and it sweeps away gods, ghosts, and miasma.

The key to mastering the <Dragon Riding Technique> is to cultivate the True Intention of the Dragon Soul.

This secret technique can greatly increase escape speed and does not conflict with a cultivator's basic escape techniques.

The Grand Elder, Wei Lang, only cultivated it to the third level, corresponding to the Late Core Formation, before abandoning the technique.

The first three levels only require extracting the souls of third-tier Dragon Descendant to cultivate the True Intention of the dragon soul.

The fourth level corresponds to the Nascent Soul Realm and requires a fourth-tier Dragon Descendant Demon King.

The Azure Sea Merchant Alliance was a large and powerful organization, Wei Lang dared not offend the Nine Dragons Hall, so the plan was dropped.

Actually, in the Fallen Immortal Realm, the <Dragon Riding Technique> wasn't originally cultivated in this way.

Its creator possessed extraordinary comprehension and formed a bond with a fully formed True Spirit True Dragon. By observing the imagery of True Dragon soaring through the nine heavens, he created the <Dragon Riding Technique>.

However, ordinary cultivators, including some powerful figures, do not possess the extraordinary comprehension or fortuitous opportunity of that founder.

In the Fallen Immortal Realm, a fully-formed True Spirit True Dragon is comparable to a Tribulation-Transcending Earth Immortal, and can even contend with a True Immortal.

Worldly cultivators have no opportunity to observe and comprehend this.

Later, a shortcut version of the "Dragon Riding Technique" was developed, which involved extracting the souls of True Dragon descendants to cultivate the True Intention of the dragon soul.

"Hunting dragons and extracting their souls, once the number becomes too large, the karmic cause and effect of the source of the Sha Qi becomes difficult to resolve."

Having lived through Wei Lang's previous life, Lan Chang'an knew his concerns.

Even if they hunt secretly, as long as they accumulate enough Sha Qi, they will form karmic ties with the Dragon Descendant race and will eventually be discovered by the Nine Dragons Hall.

Therefore, the Dragon Riding Technique is almost a forbidden technique in the Heavenly Star Sea, and only one person might cultivate it to the fourth level or higher once every few thousand years.

Those who master the skill often disappear without a trace.

Rumors suggest they were killed by the Nine Dragons Hall; or perhaps they couldn't make it overseas and fled to the mainland.

Lan Chang'an, however, did not have such concerns.

The Nine Imprint Tablet can neutralize the source of Sha Qi, although it consumes the reserves of Reincarnation Power from the Sixth Life reincarnation.

He needed to hunt Dragon Descendant to cultivate the Blood Prison Dragon Baleful Art, so he wouldn't mind cultivating the Dragon Riding Technique as well.

With the blessing of [Black Sky Wings], Lan Chang'an's speed at full power could barely reach the level of the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

[Black Sky Wings] was made from late-stage fourth-tier Avian King, but it has lost a significant amount of its spiritual essence.

After so many years of nurturing with the Evergreen Art and the Mending Heaven Spirit Nourishing Art, his spirituality has basically recovered. Lan Chang'an's cultivation has advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, allowing him to unleash even greater power.

On top of that, the speed boost from the "Dragon Riding Technique" would be even more exciting.

Lan Chang'an's vision:

[Black Sky Wings] unfolds, blotting out the sky and transforming into a soaring dragon, dominating the heavens and the seas.

It's hard to say how high the escape speed can be improved.

But it's definitely cool enough!

Secret Chamber of the cave.

Lan Chang'an's consciousness detached from the [Nine Imprint Tablet].

Looking back on the life of the Grand Elder, he felt a certain amount of admiration for him.

Wei Lang's character was impeccable; he only married his childhood Miss Chi, in his entire life.

It was that confidante, the musical beauty "Fairy Kong," with whom she had a relationship that began with affection but ended with propriety.

At that time, my wife was already old.

Wei Lang and Fairy Kong were kindred spirits, admired each other, and shared common interests.

After the two parted ways, Wei Lang was heartbroken.

In his later years, he gained a deeper understanding of Dao of Musical Harmony, particularly the Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody ".

"Perhaps it was Dao of Musical Harmony gave him more to rely on, helping to restore his depleted mental and creative energy."

Lan Chang'an knew he couldn't do what Grand Elder Wei had done.

The cultivation of character through music prevented Grand Elder Wei from becoming mentally and physically exhausted; he only needed one dao companion for his long life.

Lan Chang'an lacked musical talent and did not possess such noble sentiments.

Therefore, whenever he arrives in a new place, he needs a fairy to comfort the long-lived man and alleviate the boredom and loneliness of his long life, to dispel the Heart Barrier on his Dao Path cultivation, and to restore his mental strength and fighting spirit.

While sorting through Wei Lang's life, Lan Chang'an was surprised to see a familiar face in Great Abyss.

One of them is the Great Cultivator of Sea-Suppressing, the True Lord Fuhai.

In the memories of the Fourth Life, the imposing figure of the True Lord Fuhai was far more oppressive than the confrontation at the Cloud Glow Sect that day.

This had a profound impact on Wei Lang and the Azure-Eyed Beast.

Another scene shows a familiar face.

That was a photograph of top-secret intelligence gathered by the Azure Sea Merchant Alliance, not a personal experience of Grand Elder Wei.

In the photo:

The Shadow Demon, a peak fourth-tier demon from the Demon Peak Realm, was injured and poisoned, and was being hunted down by the Master of Sky-Beyond Island and True Lord Ling Chun.

The intelligence footage was only a brief snapshot, lasting only a moment or two, as both sides were moving too fast to see clearly.

Especially the Shadow Demon and the Master of Sky-Beyond Island, whose escape speed almost exceeded the normal range of Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

The Master of Sky-Beyond Island is skilled in tracking and cultivates the <Heavenly Roc Evasion Art>, with semi-ethereal Roc Wings extending from his back.

In terms of direct combat, the Master of Sky-Beyond Island is not outstanding among the great cultivators.

However, its speed of escape is unparalleled in the Heavenly Star Sea, surpassing most Nascent Soul Late Stage.

The ability to cultivate the Heavenly Roc Evasion Art originates from the wind-elemental innate Innate Dao Body of Jiang Yufan, the Master of Sky-Beyond Island.

Lan Chang'an's first meeting with the Immortal Physician Ling Chun was in the memories of the Fourth Life Grand Elder.

A white veil veiled her face; a fleeting glimpse of her beauty.

Those eyes, like autumn waters shrouded in mist, held a quiet compassion that seemed to reside within them, like those of a sage healer.

The veil fluttered in the wind, her silhouette exquisitely beautiful yet veiled.

Her pale pink lips contrasted sharply with her slightly sickly pale face, highlighting her weary state of compassion and benevolence.

Even with Lan Chang'an's "experience," there was a subtle sense of amazement.

His focus, however, was on Shadow Demon.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Star Sea, unaware of the Shadow Demon's true nature, might mistake him for an assassin or a Devil Cultivator, severely underestimating his strength.

"It happened about two hundred years ago..."

Based on that intelligence report, Lan Chang'an deduced the general reason.

In the early battle to Demon Sealing, the severely injured Priestess Pu and Shadow Demon were pursued by a high-ranking cultivator and fled separately to the mainland and overseas.

The Shadow Demon, with its high cultivation level, attracted more firepower.

This demon disguised itself as a human and fled to the Sky-Beyond Island to recuperate.

After regaining his peak strength, he attempted to capture the Immortal Physician Changqing alive.

If it were a top-tier being in the mid- Nascent Soul Realm, the Shadow Demon's attack would have an extremely high success rate.

Even Nascent Soul Late Stage with weak foundations, Great Monarch Thousand Shadows has a high success rate.

This is a racial talent, an advantage in assassination.

As a result, even the mighty Shadow Demon not only failed, but was also outmaneuvered by the Immortal Physician Ling Chun and hunted down, fleeing in a miserable state.

The outside world underestimated the Shadow Demon's strength, assuming it was the Master of Sky-Beyond Island exerting his power on home turf.

From Lan Chang'an's perspective: The Immortal Physician Changqing is truly unfathomable!

Lan Chang'an was concerned about where the Shadow Demon had gone.

"According to intelligence, Shadow Demon was exposed in the Heavenly Star Sea, couldn't survive there, and fled inland."

Lan Chang'an looked deep in thought, and used divination to make calculations based on the available information.

Back in Great Kun's time, he reported Priestess Pu from the Demon Peak Realm; the outcome is unknown.

Lan Chang'an and Priestess Pu formed a bond of enmity and karma.

The Divination Grandmaster's intuition told him that the woman was still alive, and her karmic destiny had not been severed.

Shadow Demon Priestess Pu will most likely team up.

Judging from the details of the battle to Demon Sealing, the Shadow Demon was very worried about Priestess Pu's safety and risked his life to rescue him. Priestess Pu's identity in the Demon Peak Realm is definitely not simple.

Priestess Pu can't stay in Great Kun, will he join forces with Shadow Demon in Great Abyss?

Lan Chang'an calculated that upon reaching this point, he encountered strong resistance, and the divination results became increasingly uncertain.

A chill ran through him, a belated sense of dread washing over him.

When Lan Chang'an first entered the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in the Great Abyss, his strength was significantly different from what it is now.

Before obtaining the three life-saving trump cards from "Divine Monarch Jing"Spirit Transformation, Lan Chang'an was targeted by the Shadow Demon, and with the ambush of other powerful Devil Creature, it was a crisis and tribulation.

The visit of the Baolian Maiden prompted Lan Chang'an to leave Great Abyss ahead of schedule and flee to a distant overseas land.

"Fellow Daoist Jing, but you..."

Lan Chang'an took a deep breath, belatedly realizing the situation, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

If it wasn't a coincidence, but Divine Monarch Jing had foreseen his impending calamity and intervened to arrange it...

After achieving "Tianyi".

Even though Jing Wufeng coldly severed ties, it was more than enough of a kindness and consideration for his former friend.

Ten months have passed on Hidden Mist Island.

Lan Chang'an is 664 years old and has been away from Great Abyss for thirty years.

Inheriting the legacy of the Fourth Life, Lan Chang'an prioritized "re-cultivating" the <Azure Sea Concentration Art>.

In less than a year, he cultivated to the sixth level, corresponding to the Late Core Formation.

Such rapid progress is not only due to the advantage of a newly cultivated realm, but also to the foundation of a similar Secret Method, the Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art.

The enhancement effects of the Divine Sense Secret Method cannot be stacked.

Therefore, the sixth level only allows for a slight enhancement of Divine Sense.

Lan Chang'an estimated that after rebuilding to the seventh or eighth level, his divine Divine Sense should see a slight improvement.

After all, the two Secret Method have different focuses, and each offers some degree of improvement.

If Lan Chang'an hadn't undergone the Fourth Life and had truly started from scratch, his cultivation and advancement speed would have been far slower than with the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art>.

Because the <Azure Water Concentration Method> is suitable for water-based Cultivation Method, it is best suited for female practitioners.

Lan Chang'an and I are incompatible; forcing ourselves to cultivate will only yield half the results, a thankless and arduous task.

The Azure Sea Grand Elder obtained the top-level inheritance of the water system and entered the Dao through music, thus being able to cultivate it to the eighth level.

As for the <Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody>, since it is a water-based Cultivation Method, Lan Chang'an had no chance to cultivate it.

However, this did not prevent him from understanding and digesting the True Intention of "The Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody".

Azure Sea Grand Elder possessed astonishing comprehension, attaining the Dao through sound, and his actual mastery of the Returning Tide Melody surpassed the corresponding cultivation level.

By then, he had already missed the optimal age to reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Once Lan Chang'an fully comprehends and absorbs the True Intention of "The Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody," it will greatly benefit his future advancement to the late Nascent Soul Late Stage.

After transforming into his Fourth Life, Lan Chang'an made several attempts to descend into that Fourth Life.

The divine soul power of Azure Sea Grand Elder surpassed that of a peak Nascent Soul Middle Stage and approached the Nascent Soul Late Stage level.

He is about 70% of Lan Chang'an's level.

In that state, Lan Chang'an's spiritual power swelled to a terrifying level!

Even stronger than the Nascent Soul Late Stage True Lord Fuhai!

Lan Chang'an couldn't help but worry whether the [Nail-Head Arrow] could withstand the most explosive attack.

Fortunately, the [Nail-Head Arrow] was nurtured as a natal Law Treasure, and the material of its shaft had long since reached the top level of the fourth tier.

Unless it's subjected to high-intensity, continuous operation, it shouldn't break.

Lan Chang'an estimated that if the soul wood shaft of the [Nail-Head Arrow] was nurtured to the near-fifth rank, it would pose a significant threat to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

With consistent nurturing or investment of lifespan to accelerate its growth, the [Nail-Head Arrow] shaft will eventually reach near-fifth rank.

As a smaller Law Treasure, its growth and enhancement speed is much faster than that of the Green Profound Sword Formation.

However, the metal arrowhead of the [Nail-Head Arrow] is made from gold-iron meteorite material, Evergreen Art cannot nurture; another method will be needed in the future.

The effects of the Fourth Life are not limited to possession, enhancing the spirit, or improving one's state of mind.

By integrating it into the [Heaven-Splitting Axe] and nurturing its Artifact Spirit, the "sacrifice" effect far Master Lihuo.

Lan Chang'an then attempted to possess the "Puppet Spirit" where the Commander Puppet resided, through his Fourth Life.

As a result, Puppet Master Wei's True Puppet Spirit suddenly had an inspiration and showed signs of breaking through the existing bottleneck.

The Puppet Spirit's essence has been enhanced, faintly touching the mid-grade fourth rank.

Lan Chang'an was overjoyed, never expecting that the Fourth Life of the Azure Sea would have such a wonderful use.

Previously, the possessed Puppet Spirit of Master Lihuo had almost no effect on the breakthrough of the fourth-tier mid-grade True Puppet Spirit.

After communicating with Puppet Master Wei, Lan Chang'an deduced that the True Intention meaning that Bi Hai had comprehended in his Fourth Life was too profound.

It might have some effect on other Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but it would be hard to compare with the Fourth Life of Azure Sea.

The Fourth Life of the Azure Sea has endless uses, and Lan Chang'an plans three main applications for it:

The first copy descended upon Lan Chang'an himself, and was used for cultivating divine soul techniques, nurturing the soul wood of the [Nail-Head Arrow], and drawing talismans, significantly enhancing its effects.

The second portion was used to continue nurturing the Artifact Spirit [Heaven-Splitting Axe]. The time allotted was much less than before, but the effect was about the same.

The third part, possessing the Ghost Path Puppet Spirit where Puppet Master Wei resides, accelerates the nurturing of a mid-grade True Fourth Rank Puppet Spirit.

Normally, high-level Puppet must first reach the corresponding rank before True Puppet Spirit of the same level can be born. They are often uncontrollable, and the element of fortuitous opportunity plays a greater role.

Lan Chang'an had a premonition that the Commander of the Green-Armored Puppet might break with convention and give birth to a mid-grade fourth-order True Puppet Spirit first.

This gave him a sense of anticipation and secret delight, like he was cheating.

Several days later.

Lan Chang'an officially emerged from seclusion after the last Council of Elders.

After showering and changing clothes.

Fairy Zhao came to keep me company, brewing tea and playing the zither. The music was gentle and warm, filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

The music ended.

Lan Chang'an smiled and pointed out, "Shi Yao's rendition of the ' Lanting Ancient Preface ' just now lacked a few melodies... If it were improved in this way, it would better resonate with the spirit of heaven and earth."

Zhao Shiyao listened quietly, a flash of inspiration appearing in her eyes. She suddenly realized that Brother Lu was an unparalleled master in the Dao of Musical Harmony, shattering her previous preconceived notions.

Fairy Zhao listened with increasing fascination.

Her profile was like a painting, her figure graceful and her curves slender; her sky-blue fairy dress spread out, revealing a section of her slender calves, and even though she wore a plain white leggings, the beautiful lines of her legs still made people's imaginations run wild.

I don't know when.

As Lan Chang'an gave instructions, he embraced Zhao Shiyao's slender waist, her soft body against his chest, her cool fragrance refreshing and invigorating.

Zhao Shiyao offered no resistance. Her white head drooped gently, her thick, long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face flushed with a faint morning glow. Like a lotus just emerging from clear water, her skin was moist and rosy, making her even more beautiful and charming.

The two lingered tenderly for a long time, their embracing figures almost indistinguishable.

Only when Fairy Zhao's pretty face flushed red, her hairpins askew, her fairy dress disheveled, and she gasped for breath as if drowning, did she push Lan Chang'an away.

Call!

Zhao Shiyao exhaled a long breath of orchid fragrance, shyly turning her delicate body away, her lips as fresh and moist as dripping cherries.

"We have guests. Get ready."

Lan Chang'an sensed something, and gently sipped the lingering fragrance from his lips.

Not long after.

Vice Alliance Leader Wei Dongjun and a beautiful woman in a flowing dress landed on Hidden Mist Island in Flying Chariot.

The beautiful woman in the flowing skirt had a voluptuous figure and had recently advanced to the Late Core Formation. She was Chi Yuning, Wei Dongjun's dao companion and wife.

Lan Chang'an and Zhao Shiyao greeted him together outside the cave.

Zhao Shiyao changed into a simple white fairy dress, exuding a cool and dignified aura like the bright moon.

"Haha! Daoist Lu and Fairy Zhao are a perfect match, like a divine couple."

Wei Dongjun couldn't help but admire Lan Chang'an and Zhao Shiyao, who were dressed in white.

More than half a year has passed.

Upon seeing Lan Chang'an again, Wei Dongjun felt an inexplicable sense of affinity and closeness.

"It is an honor for Hidden Mist Island to have Alliance Leader Wei and Madam Wei grace our humble abode with their presence."

Lan Chang'an gave a half-smile.

As his Fourth Life incarnation came to mind, a sense of closeness and affection for his "grandson" welled up within him.

Today, Wei Dongjun brought his female relatives to visit, which in the Cultivation World signifies a further step in their relationship.

Coupled with their mutual affinity and closeness, the atmosphere was naturally warm and harmonious.

Zhao Shiyao and Chi Yuning chatted on the side.

Looking at Lan Chang'an and Wei Dongjun, the two women were somewhat surprised, and felt a strange sense of unease.

Lan Chang'an was mature and composed, with a warm and gentle gaze; Wei Dongjun listened attentively, nodding in agreement, his demeanor revealing respect.

Um?

Wei Dongjun was momentarily distracted and shook his head inwardly: How could he have been so confused as to almost mistake Elder Lu for a grandfather or elder?

"Perhaps Elder Lu inherited my grandfather's last wish and saved my life. Moreover, he supported me within the alliance just like my grandfather, which made me feel grateful and respectful from the bottom of my heart, thus creating this illusion."

This is the only explanation Wei Dongjun can offer.

His grandfather passed away, and for the past six months he has been filled with grief and longing.

Inside the tea room of Cloud Sea Abode.

"Elder Lu's life-saving grace and his immense contribution to the Merchant Alliance are debts I can never repay."

"This is just a small token of my appreciation; please accept it, Elder Lu."

Wei Dongjun took out two items.

First, there is the contribution token, which contains a huge contribution issued by the Merchant Alliance headquarters, far exceeding the amount for killing the Evil Flood Dragon.

Secondly, there was a heavy Storage Bag.

Lan Chang'an did not refuse, but after scanning the Storage Bag with his Divine Sense, he was slightly moved.

Every item in the Storage Bag is a masterpiece.

There are more than a dozen kinds of Tier 4 High-Grade or top-grade refining materials.

There are also two pieces of near-fifth-tier Mystic Gold Treasure Ore.

Several bottles of mid-grade fourth-tier water-type elixirs, and dozens of cans of beast food of the same grade.

There is also a mid-grade fourth-tier Azure Water Nether Lotus, which helps water-type Sacred Beast to concentrate their minds and advance to the mid-fourth tier.

Finally, there is a small fourth-tier Spirit Ship, which can be used to traverse the seas.

When traveling, riding a fourth-tier Spirit Ship not only protects against Demon Beast calamities but also allows one to enjoy the cultivation environment of a fourth-tier Spirit Vein.

As for the large amount of Spirit Stone consumed, it was nothing to Lan Chang'an's net worth.

This fourth-tier Spirit Ship alone is more valuable than the Storage Ring left by the Grand Elder.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, you are very thoughtful. This generous gift will be of great use to me and Lord Mystic Water."

Lan Chang'an bowed and thanked him.

He transformed into the Grand Elder and learned that Wei Dongjun possessed astonishing treasures.

Even so, Wei Dongjun's gift of gratitude was still considered sincere.

Among the treasures inherited by Wei Dongjun, those exceeding the value of a near- Tier 5 Treasure Ore or a fourth-tier Spirit Ship are few and far between.

This includes a powerful Ancient Treasure and a replica of Spirit Treasure, both of which are at the near-fifth rank.

Among the Spirit Plant is a [Azure Water Soul Lotus], which is of near-fifth-tier quality. If it is cultivated to the fifth tier, it can serve as a vessel for the Second Nascent Soul of a water-based Cultivation Method.

However, it is not suitable for Lan Chang'an to cultivate his Second Nascent Soul.

Because of cultivating the Second Nascent Soul Divine Ability, the Nascent Soul fragments that split off were also biased towards the wood element.

This is why very few people cultivate to the Second Nascent Soul.

The external conditions required for Cultivation World, and the cultivation process also involves considerable risks.

Upon reaching the Spirit Transformation stage, also known as the Soul Division Realm, one can cultivate External Incarnation normally, without the need for such complicated methods.

Before sunset, Mr. and Mrs. Wei Dongjun finally got up to say goodbye.

Wei Dongjun felt unsatisfied, and he felt inexplicably at ease and safe spending time with Lan Chang'an on Hidden Mist Island.

He left the cave with a hint of reluctance.

Lan Chang'an showed no intention of keeping his guest.

Before leaving, he made a request to Vice Alliance Leader Wei.

"Does Fairy Zhao wish to cultivate the <Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody> and the <Bixin Concentration Art>?"

Wei Dongjun was somewhat surprised and hesitated after some thought.

The top-tier inheritances and Secret Method of the Azure Sea Merchant Alliance are not passed down casually; they require the approval of several alliance leaders or the approval of the Council of Elders.

Lan Chang'an explained, "Shi Yao has a talent for music, making her suitable for cultivating the <Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody>. As a female cultivator with Spirit Root, her talent for water manipulation is also quite remarkable, which aligns with the <Bixin Concentration Art>."

Lan Chang'an could certainly pass on his Cultivation Method and secret arts directly to Zhao Shiyao.

However, to avoid being exposed, it's best to go through the proper procedures.

Wei Dongjun pondered for a moment and said, "The <Bixin Concentration Art> is fine. I will ask the elders of the Dharma Transmission Hall to relax the conditions, allowing us to exchange for the first six levels with contribution points."

"As for the <Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody>, as long as Fairy Zhao can master the introductory chapter within a certain time and demonstrate her Cultivation Method, I am confident that I can get Alliance Leader Zuo's approval for the main chapter and have it passed by the Council of Elders."

Zhao Shiyao was, after all, a native cultivator of the Merchant Alliance with a clean background, and coupled with Lan Chang'an's prestige, her request faced little resistance within the alliance.

The premise is that Zhao Shiyao has the talent for cultivation.

The first level of this top-tier inheritance, "The Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody," corresponds to the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. The subsequent levels correspond to the introductory stages.

Other water-based Cultivation Method can be smoothly transitioned to this one.

In the medieval era overseas, there was a person of extraordinary talent who cultivated to the Spirit Transformation stage using the "Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody".

However, this tradition requires a high level of musical talent and comprehension.

Even the leaders of the alliance had not cultivated this skill.

If one possesses high comprehension and musical talent, one can even reach a level of Cultivation Method that surpasses the level corresponding to one's own cultivation level.

Wei Dongjun lacked musical talent, but he cultivated another water-based Cultivation Method, the Thousand Abyss True Water Scripture, whose power was not much inferior.

After Wei Dongjun and his wife left.

Zhao Shiyao's brows furrowed slightly, and she said uncertainly:

"Brother Lu, although Shiyao has some talent in music, is she truly capable of comprehending a top-tier inheritance like the <Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody>?"

Zhao Shiyao's musical talent and comprehension are actually quite Higher Vehicle, but she is not a genius.

If I say you can do it, then you can!

Lan Chang'an gently stroked Fairy Zhao's fragrant shoulder, his tone revealing confidence and domineering.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Lan Chang'an cultivated discreetly on Hidden Mist Island, completely refraining from participating in the internal affairs of the Merchant Alliance headquarters.

This indifference to fame and fortune earned the unanimous praise of the alliance leaders.

Zhao Shiyao successfully passed the assessment and began practicing the main text of "The Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody".

Six months ago, she mastered the introductory chapter of "The Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody" at an unexpectedly fast pace.

His cultivation speed is second only to Azure Sea Grand Elder Wei Lang of the Azure Sea.

This surprised the three alliance leaders and elders somewhat.

Zhao Shiyao's musical talent and comprehension are indeed quite good. The higher-ups of the Merchant Alliance did not see anything amiss and were instead pleased with the outcome.

Zhao Shiyao has a clean background. If we can help her cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, it would be a win-win situation.

This will not only add a Nascent Soul Elder to the Merchant Alliance, but also allow them to bind themselves to the exceptionally powerful True Lord Lu.

Over the past three years, Lan Chang'an has devoted most of his energy to absorbing and digesting the insights and experiences of the Fourth Life.

The True Intention of Cultivation Method, Divine Ability and secret arts, and the myriad skills of immortal cultivation are gradually revealed.

The <Bixin Concentration Art> was successfully cultivated to the seventh level, essentially a "reincarnation and re-cultivation" without any bottlenecks.

His Divine Sense has improved slightly, less than halfway, but for his current level, it is already quite remarkable.

For those in the Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Sense faces diminishing returns.

Those veteran cultivators had to exert tremendous effort just to achieve even a slight improvement.

Lan Chang'an was already quite satisfied with his promotion of half a grade over the past few years.

These past three years have been spent cultivating and gaining insights.

Lan Chang'an occasionally gave Zhao Shiyao guidance in cultivating the "Azure Sea Returning Tide Melody.

With just a little effort, Zhao Shiyao stood out in this skill's cultivation, attracting the attention and support of the Merchant Alliance's higher-ups.

Lan Chang'an hasn't used his trump card yet.

If the "old man" were to possess one's body and impart the True Intention in a truly immersive way, the effect would be many times better.

However, the old man is very busy now.

Zhao Shiyao's cultivation level is not high enough, and she has not encountered any major bottlenecks, so it is not advisable to force her to grow too quickly.

Such methods will only be considered for use when Fairy Zhao advances to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"It's time to go out."

On this day, Lan Chang'an, who had turned 667, calculated the time again.

The timeframe for Spirit Treasure's tribulation is approaching.

He has a one-year transition period before entering the estimated period of several years of trials and tribulations.

He would spend the next year traveling, searching for remote locations, and waiting for the arrival of the Spirit Treasure Tribulation.

Lan Chang'an took out the [Heaven-Splitting Axe] and touched the thick, dark back of the axe with his palm.

In many areas of the Cultivation World, the [Heaven-Splitting Axe] is already considered a fifth-tier Spirit Treasure treasure, but it has not yet undergone the Spirit Treasure Tribulation.

Most Pseudo-Spirit Treasure belong to the category of "imitated Spirit Treasure" or are damaged and dropped Spirit Treasure.

The quality of counterfeit Spirit Treasure varies greatly. The inferior ones are similar to top-grade Law Treasure, but they only imitate the form, such as Lan Chang'an's [Five-Bird Poison Fire Fan].

If it gets even stronger, reaching the quality of near-fifth rank, it will be mastered by top-tier Nascent Soul Middle Stage or Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Pseudo-Spirit Treasure, it touches the threshold of Spirit Treasure, with its main material reaching the fifth rank, but its overall quality and refining restrictions are slightly inferior.

The [Heaven-Splitting Axe] has reached the fifth tier in quality refinement, so calling it Spirit Treasure wouldn't be wrong.

Lan Chang'an closed his eyes and sensed that the nascent Artifact Spirit within the Spirit Treasure was becoming increasingly active.

By delving deeper into consciousness, one can even sense some of the emotions emanating from the nascent Artifact Spirit.

Expectation, excitement, arrogance, tyranny, contempt...

Lan Chang'an received a variety of emotional messages.

He realized that the Artifact Spirit about to be born was definitely not an honest fellow!

Just then...

The spiritual consciousness within the Spirit Treasure fluctuated, transmitting a vague message containing an arrogant and awe-inspiring emotion:

"Young man! Protect me well and find a Secret Land to help me pass this First Spirit Treasure Tribulation!"

Lan Chang'an's expression froze; the cute and adorable image of the Artifact Spirit in his mind was instantly shattered!
