Can Condense Twelve Primordial Spirits
Even if it's only 30%, it's enough to sweep away the vast majority of Heavenly Monarch, and even be able to fight against a powerhouse in the Early Tribulation Immortal Stage.
This Token essentially gave him a chance to "invite the gods".
The Heavenly Origin Patriarch then pointed to the jade Jade Slip.
"This is the 'Myriad Transformations Starry Skies Art,' Cultivation Method I obtained in a High Antiquity ruin during my travels Nine Provinces in my youth."
"This Cultivation Method focuses on the Primordial Spirit, allowing Cultivators to condense three additional Star Primordial Spirits on top of their existing Primordial Spirit."
"You already possess Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits. If you can master this method, you will be able to condense twelve Primordial Spirits. At that time, the range of your Divine Sense and your combat power will both reach a new level."
Chen Changqing's heart pounded wildly.
Twelve Primordial Spirit?
It should be understood that an ordinary True Lord is already considered a genius if he can condense three Primordial Spirits, but he now possesses nine Red-Gold Primordial Spirits, which is extremely rare throughout the ages.
If three more are added, reaching twelve Primordial Spirits, what a terrifying realm that would be!
Finally, the Heavenly Origin Patriarch pointed to the drop of liquid that emitted Golden Light.
"This drop is called Star Marrow Essence. It is a trace of my original essence that I extracted from my body when I broke through to the Ninth Layer Tribulation Immortal."
"Although you are currently at the Middle True Lord Stage, your Primordial Spirit is already powerful enough. If you refine this drop of Star Marrow Essence, the quality of your Primordial Spirit can undergo another transformation, and you may even have the opportunity to comprehend the Dao Resonance of the Heavenly Monarch Realm ahead of time."
Heavenly Origin Patriarch paused, his voice becoming solemn.
"However, I must warn you, this drop of Star Marrow Essence contains an extremely vast amount of energy. If you forcibly refine it with your current cultivation level, you may risk exploding and dying."
"Therefore, I suggest that you wait until you break through to the Late True Lord Stage, or even the Heavenly Monarch Realm, before using it."
Looking at the three floating objects in front of him, Chen Changqing felt a surge of emotions.
Any one of these three items would be enough to drive the entire Nine Provinces into a frenzy.
The Heavenly Origin Token is a life-saving trump card.
The Myriad Transformations Starry Skies Art is the core Cultivation Method for enhancing combat power.
Star Marrow Essence is a supreme treasure for breaking through realms.
This gift of gratitude is far too generous.
"Ancestor, this..." Chen Changqing tried to decline.
Heavenly Origin Patriarch waved his hand, brooking no refusal.
"You offered me the Tribulation Immortal Pill, granting me a new life and enabling me to break through to the Ninth Layer Tribulation Immortal. How can this kindness be repaid with just these three things?"
"Take it, you deserve it."
With a flick of his sleeve, the three items flew towards Chen Changqing instantly.
Chen Changqing dared not refuse any longer, reached out and took them, solemnly storing them into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Ancestor!"
He bowed deeply and respectfully.
Heavenly Origin Patriarch nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
"Besides these three things, there's something else I need to tell you."
Chen Changqing looked up at him, puzzled.
With his back to him, the Heavenly Origin Patriarch gazed at the vast, empty sea of stars, his voice becoming distant and resonant.
"Three days from now, the Chen Yuan will officially announce you as the next Sect Master of the Mount Shu."
"I know that your current cultivation and experience are insufficient, so Chen Yuan will temporarily assume the position of Sect Master."
"But the title has already been given to you."
He turned around and stared intently at Chen Changqing.
"Changqing, I've lived for so many years and seen countless geniuses. But someone like you, with both extraordinary talent and such a temperament, is truly a first."
"I believe that with Mount Shu in your hands, it will surely reach new heights."
Chen Changqing's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Daoist Wuzhen had decided to make him the next Sect Master, but he didn't expect that even Heavenly Origin Patriarch would value him so much.
"This disciple... will certainly not fail the Ancestor's expectations."
Heavenly Origin Patriarch laughed heartily.
"Very well, I'll be waiting for that day."
He waved.
"Go back to Evergreen Peak and cultivate diligently. Remember my words, the days ahead will not be peaceful; be prepared."
Chen Changqing bowed again, then turned and walked out of the hall.
He had only taken a few steps when the voice of the Heavenly Origin Patriarch rang out behind him again.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Chen Changqing stopped and turned around.
A playful smile appeared on the face of the Heavenly Origin Patriarch.
"I've met both of your fiancées, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Hua Yao. One is the daughter of the Human King, and the other is the daughter of the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley. Neither of them are ordinary people."
"Especially that Hua Yao, with her Nine-Turn Exquisite Body, a physique that's only seen once in ten thousand years."
Chen Changqing's face flushed slightly.
Is the Heavenly Origin Patriarch... making fun of himself?
"In my youth, I was quite the dashing and romantic figure, but unfortunately, my cultivation delayed my marriage," sighed the Heavenly Origin Patriarch. "You, lad, are certainly blessed with good fortune in love."
"However, I must remind you that the Cultivation World is not like the mortal realm. Too many women are not necessarily a good thing. You are still young and may not realize it now, but you will understand when your cultivation level is higher."
Chen Changqing didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod awkwardly.
"Disciple understands."
Heavenly Origin Patriarch waved his hand.
"Alright, go ahead."
Chen Changqing then turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing beyond the sea of stars.
Silence returned to the hall.
Heavenly Origin Patriarch sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and felt the new power within his body.
Ninth Layer Tribulation Immortal.
He had waited far too long for this level of achievement.
All of this is thanks to that young man named Chen Changqing.
"The successor of the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor..."
Heavenly Origin Patriarch muttered to himself, a meaningful smile curving his lips.
"Interesting, very interesting."
Chen Changqing stepped out of the First Heavenly Palace, Daoist Chen Yuan and Daoist Wuzhen were already waiting outside.
"Master, Grandmaster."
Chen Changqing stepped forward and bowed.
Daoist Chen Yuan looked at him, hesitated, and finally just patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go back and prepare well. The Sect Master Succession Ceremony in three days cannot afford any mishaps."
Chen Changqing nodded.
The three of them left the Nine-Layer Heavenly Palace together and flew towards the gate of Mount Shu.
However, what they didn't know was that shortly after they left, powerful Divine Sense intertwined once again in the other eight Heavenly Gate of the Nine-Layer Heavenly Palace.
"What exactly did that old man Heavenly Origin give that kid?"
"He's definitely not simple; to be summoned by Heavenly Origin personally and have such a long private conversation with him."
"That kid offered up the Tribulation Immortal Pill, allowing Heavenly Origin to break through to the Ninth Layer Tribulation Immortal. This merit cannot be repaid with just anything."
"Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting."
"This generation of Mount Shu is likely to produce an extraordinary figure."
The eight Divine Sense discussed amongst themselves, and eventually dispersed.
The Nine-Layer Heavenly Palace fell silent once more.
But throughout Mount Shu, and even the entire Nine Provinces, an unprecedented storm is brewing.
Deep within the forbidden area behind Mount Shu.
Within the Cave Heaven of the Daoist Wuzhen, the Spiritual Qi was so dense that it almost solidified into a tangible substance.
Chen Changqing had only been back at Evergreen Peak for less than half an hour when he received a message from Daoist Wuzhen.
"Come immediately to the forbidden area in the back mountain."
These six short words carried an undeniable weight of seriousness.
