The Dao Artifact, the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber

The golden-haired woman Venerable Six Cultivations once reached the realm of the Seventh-Grade Venerable, but for some reason, she fell back to the realm of the Sixth-Grade True Lord. In the end, she built the "Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations" for herself and buried herself in it.

Then, the Venerable Seven Cultivations, representing the Four Cultivations and Six Cultivations Ones and all their (numerical) practices, walks in the world?

In other words, if one signs a contract and becomes Eight Cultivations... will one day in the future replace the Venerable Seven Cultivations?

At this moment, the blonde woman asked again, "So, do you want to sign the contract?"

Song Shuhang replied, "Senior Six Cultivations, at least let me understand what 'Eight Cultivations' is all about, right?" He was still completely clueless; how could he dare to sign a contract so casually?

"I knew you'd ask that question... so I was prepared." The blonde woman reached into her bosom and pulled out a gem Spell Imprint. This was one of the many methods monks used to imprint 'images' before the invention of cameras and the like.

"Found it. Luckily, I still had it. Although it's quite old, it's still watchable," the blonde woman said.

As he spoke, Six Cultivations activated the Spell Imprint gem, which projected an image of an Ancient Tomb.

It was also a simple stone chamber tomb, but the coffin inside was made of silver. Inside the stone chamber, there was a plaque that read, "[The True Monarch Five Cultivations buried their past bodies here]".

This is the Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations.

In the video, the lid of the silver coffin slowly slid open, and a figure emerged from it. The figure wore a faint smile and appeared approachable.

When the person inside the coffin was revealed, Song Shuhang immediately exclaimed, "True Lord Dustfall?!"

The one who emerged from the silver coffin was none other than the 'True Lord Dustfall' from the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Song Shuhang remembered that True Lord Dustfall was a very patient senior.

Not long ago, when the senior members of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' were fighting the 'Blood Demon,' it was this True Lord Dustfall who sat next to Song Shuhang and explained the battle situation to him.

Later, in the 'Hand-held Tractor' competition, Senior Dustfall entered the top five and has now entered the 'Primordial Ruins' with Venerable White.

True Lord Dustfall is actually a 'Five Cultivations'?

"True Lord Dustfall? Oh... you mean that descendant of the Five Cultivations, who's over thirty generations removed? That little fellow is quite promising, becoming True Lord at such a young age," the blonde woman replied casually.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Thirty generations of descendants, and they still look exactly alike. Just how Tyrant must this 'Five Cultivations' genes be?

Is it possible that from the grandfather to the father, uncles, and great-uncle of True Lord Dustfall, they all look exactly alike?

In the video, the ancestor of True Lord Dustfall, 'Five Cultivations', floats above the silver coffin, facing a young cultivator, seemingly patiently explaining something.

Song Shuhang looked at the young cultivator's face; it was none other than the 'Venerable Seven Cultivations'!

However, the Venerable Seven Cultivations in the image is still very young, and his cultivation level is above the Fourth-Grade Xiantian of the Innate Realm—because the Venerable Seven Cultivations in the image is also riding Sword Flight.

Is this a scene from when the 'Venerable Seven Cultivations' explored the Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations before signing the contract to become the 'Seven Cultivations'?

At this point, the "Five Cultivations" in the picture began to be explained.

"Seven Cultivations is not a profession, and signing the contract is not to take you as a disciple... To be precise, whether it's Five Cultivations, Six Cultivations, or Seven Cultivations, it's not a lineage of Daoist titles or professions; it's a Dao Artifact!"

Like his thirtieth-something-generation descendant, True Lord Dustfall, Five Cultivations was also a very patient man who explained things in great detail.

Dao Artifact?

The young Venerable Seven Cultivations in the portrait looked somewhat bewildered.

Song Shuhang, who was also present, was somewhat bewildered.

(Number) Xiu, is it a Dao Artifact? Although I don't know what Dao Artifact is, it should be a type of magic weapon? But why is it related to magic weapons?

The True Monarch Five Cultivations continued to explain, "This Dao Artifact is called the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber.' It has Nine-Turn Seal on its blade, each seal increasing its power by First-Grade. When I received the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber' from the Four Cultivations, it was at the fifth grade of power. I refined it to the sixth grade, achieving perfection, and then handed it over to the Six Cultivations, who will continue to refine it."

In the portrait, the young Venerable Seven Cultivations said, "So, after inheriting the Daoist title of 'Seven Cultivations,' one must also inherit the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber'? Then, continue to refine it, and one day in the future, when I have achieved perfection, hand it over to 'Eight Cultivations'?"

"That's right." The True Monarch Five Cultivations nodded and said, "Then, would you like to sign a contract with me? Once you sign the contract, the legendary Dao Artifact 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber' will be yours!"

"No way." Venerable Seven Cultivations refused. "After inheriting the Daoist title of 'Seven Cultivations,' not only will I have to spend energy refining this 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber,' but I will also be subject to the limitations of this blade. One day in the future, I will have to hand over this 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber' to someone else. What will I gain in the process?"

"Hehe, if there weren't enough benefits to tempt cultivators, how could we possibly willingly inherit this 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber'?" True Monarch Five Cultivations laughed heartily.

"When you officially take over the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber,' you will receive a complete scroll of the <Nine-Turn Phoenix Technique> from the Dao Artifact. This is a complete cultivation method sufficient to advance you to the Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal, without any omissions! In addition, as you become the master of the Dao Artifact, you can also experience and inherit the cultivation experience and insights of the previous masters of the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber.'"

In other words, by grasping the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber,' one can open a path to the pinnacle of cultivation.

"Furthermore, during our cultivation process, we cultivators cannot avoid enduring Heavenly Tribulation. Heavenly Tribulation are merciless; if there is even the slightest mistake during the Tribulation Transcendence process, we will be engulfed in Tribulation Fire and suffer eternal damnation," sighed the True Monarch Five Cultivations.

In the scene, the young Venerable Seven Cultivations nodded secretly.

Heavenly Tribulation is the most terrifying and unavoidable calamity on a cultivator's path of cultivation. Throughout history, at least a quarter of cultivators have not died of natural causes, but have perished under Heavenly Tribulation.

"And as long as you possess the Dao Artifact 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber,' even if you fail your Tribulation Transcendence one day in the future, you will not be Body-and-Soul Annihilation. Of course, although you will not be Body-and-Soul Annihilation, in order to conceal it from the 'Heavenly Dao,' the wielder of the 'Nine-Turn Phoenix Saber' will also need to pay a price after failing the Tribulation Transcendence..."

When the True Monarch Five Cultivations finished speaking, Song Shuhang already understood what the 'price' was.

The price would be the same as the White Jade Lion's Four Cultivations: under the protection of the 'Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber,' their cultivation level would be restricted, turning them into something akin to an 'avatar.'

It's better than being Body-and-Soul Annihilation.

"But don't worry, even if we pay the price, there are still ways to make amends," said the True Monarch Five Cultivations with a smile.
