Golden Immortal Kingdom

Cai Di's heart trembled slightly when he heard Chen Xiao's words.

What Chen Xiao had just said was precisely the flaw in his cultivation art. Unless one was from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect of a thousand years ago, outsiders could never possibly know of it.

And now that Chen Xiao claimed he had a way to resolve it, Cai Di could not help but believe him.

At this moment, Cai Di's resolve was finally shaken.

He raised his head and stared fixedly at Chen Xiao. Only after a long while did he growl in a hoarse voice, "If you truly have a way to resolve the flaws of the Ten Thousand Poisons Ascension Art, and are willing to teach it to me, then I, Cai Di, will submit to you."

After saying this, Cai Di seemed like a deflated ball, collapsing limply onto the ground. Cultivators might not care about their own lives, but they could never resist the temptation of cultivation arts. For an unparalleled immortal art, they could even cast aside their lives without hesitation.

This was especially true for someone like Cai Di. As a cultivator, he had been able to kill immortals, so he was naturally proud and arrogant. Yet the flaws in his cultivation art were simply too severe. Not only did his entire cultivation turn on him every sixty years, reducing him to an ordinary man for three years, but every year he also had to endure the agony of Ten Thousand Poisons Body Devouring.

More importantly, the Ten Thousand Poisons Ascension Art was incomplete to begin with. It could only support his cultivation up to the Body Integration Realm, while transcending tribulation and ascending to immortality remained forever out of reach.

Now that he had heard Chen Xiao possessed a means of resolving the flaws in his art, there was no telling whether he might also have the more advanced cultivation method of the Ten Thousand Poisons Ascension to Heaven Art.

Cai Di now desperately yearned for the next stage of the Ten Thousand Poisons Ascension Art. This formidable art could poison an immortal to death through surprise attacks even at the Body Integration Realm. One could well imagine what heights it might reach once cultivated to a profound level.

As for Chen Xiao, he had identified Cai Di's identity, cultivation art, and even the flaws within it at a glance. If Cai Di still regarded Chen Xiao as some wastrel young master, then he truly would be a fool.

Seeing Cai Di's expression, Chen Xiao smiled faintly. He signaled Mengmeng to settle Cai Di down, then returned to his own room.

That dumbass Cai Di has the complete cultivation method of the Ten Thousand Poisons Ascension Art right on his own person. Wasn't he riding a donkey while searching for a donkey?

Chen Xiao was immensely pleased with himself. Today, he had not only obtained the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman, but had also subdued an extraordinary figure like the Poison Immortal Cai Di in one stroke. It was truly a bountiful harvest.

Cai Di was now settled in Chen Xiao's small courtyard. Everything else could wait until Chen Xiao obtained the treasure within the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman.

A jade-colored talisman, the length of a palm and three fingers wide, appeared in Chen Xiao's hand. The talisman was worn beyond repair, even covered in cracks. Not even a talisman grandmaster could discern what secrets it held.

But Chen Xiao knew that this jade talisman was the treasure left behind by the renowned Talisman Treasure Golden Immortal of Glazed Heaven—a Golden Immortal talisman!

Chen Xiao placed the talisman on the table, then took several high-grade Heavenly Mystery Stones from his Storage Ring and swiftly set up a small formation in his room to isolate spiritual energy fluctuations.

This was the City Lord's Mansion, but there was no guarantee that no spies lurked within. When the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman emerged, it would emit powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and it would inevitably draw the attention of others.

Chen Xiao then took out another flying sword of quite exceptional quality from his Storage Ring and slashed down at the talisman.

Clang!

After a crisp sound, the jade talisman shattered. A green stream of light slowly rose from within the broken jade.

This was the true Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman!

In truth, Cai Di had obtained the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman by chance. Since it carried no spiritual energy fluctuations, he had not paid it any mind. The reason Cai Di had kept this talisman was to prepare for the time when he lost all his cultivation once every sixty years. Great concealment hid in the marketplace; with his power gone, Cai Di's best disguise was to masquerade as an ordinary old man selling junk as he had before, squatting in a corner by the wall. Who would pay attention to him?

Who could have imagined that this time, he would encounter a baleful star like Chen Xiao?

And who could have imagined that merely smashing that piece of ruined talisman would reveal a heaven-defying talisman refined by a Golden Immortal within?

In his previous life, Chen Xiao had only discovered the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman after his family had been destroyed. Having given himself over to despair, he had accidentally taken out the talisman left in the corner of his Storage Ring and smashed it apart.

The instant the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman rose up, Chen Xiao grabbed it. He then bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto it.

The jade-colored flowing-light talisman then began twisting in Chen Xiao's hand, before finally turning into a streak of light that entered the center of his brow.

Only after finishing all this did Chen Xiao slowly let out a breath. Once the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman appeared, if it was not subdued quickly, it would transform into flowing light and flee.

In his previous life, Chen Xiao had been lucky. Because he was severely wounded and covered in blood, the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman had been stained by his blood the instant it appeared and inexplicably acknowledged him as its master.

The primary reason Chen Xiao had been able to cultivate so rapidly to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in his previous life, and evade the Nangong Clan's pursuit for fifty years, was this heaven-defying talisman refined by a Golden Immortal.

With a thought from Chen Xiao, his divine sense sank into his dantian. At this moment, above the crimson cloud in his dantian, a jade-colored talisman floated quietly. In truth, apart from its extremely miraculous abilities, the greatest purpose of this Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman was to serve as a gateway connected to the Golden Immortal Kingdom of the Talisman Treasure Immortal.

At this moment, the jade-colored light talisman stirred slightly. A vast will extended from it, and an abstruse incantation emerged from within.

It was precisely the method for opening the Golden Immortal Kingdom of the Talisman Treasure Immortal. Naturally, it also included the cultivation inheritance of the Talisman Treasure Immortal's lineage. In his previous life, Chen Xiao had cultivated this Talisman Treasure Immortal Art to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. But in this life, he cultivated the Nine Heavens Thunder Virtue Universal Transformation Art, a heaven-defying cultivation art that commanded heavenly tribulations, so there was no need for him to cultivate the Talisman Treasure Immortal Art again.

Chen Xiao silently recited the art formula to open the Golden Immortal Kingdom. The next instant, light flashed from the talisman, and Chen Xiao's consciousness entered an unusual golden space.

The Golden Immortal Kingdom was a vast world-space that only immortals at the Golden Immortal level could possess.

The moment Chen Xiao's consciousness entered, a tall, slender figure slowly appeared before him.

Chen Xiao knew that this was a strand of divine sense left behind by the Talisman Treasure Immortal after his death.

"I am the Talisman Treasure Immortal. This is my Golden Immortal Kingdom. Whoever you are, whatever your identity may be, since you have obtained the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman and opened my Golden Immortal Kingdom, it is your destined opportunity.

"Here are some trifles I collected throughout my life. Consider them a meeting gift. I also have one request of you. I, the Talisman Treasure Immortal, spent my life studying the Dao of talismans, wishing to use it to ascend to the Heavenly Dao. Yet heaven's might cannot be fathomed, and in the end, I met with death and dissolution. But I do not wish for my Dao of talismans to end here. I hope you can pass down my talisman Dao."

After these words, the Talisman Treasure Immortal's figure slowly dispersed, leaving no further last words. One could imagine the circumstances at the time: though he possessed the body of a Golden Immortal, before death he had only had time to leave behind these few words.
