In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.
Nowadays, Chen Yang's cultivation realm changed slightly after he regained clarity, stepping into the peak of the Supreme Unity Heavenly Immortal realm.
Inside Dabao Peak, the appearance had changed drastically as well. In the past, Dabao Peak was piled with weapon-refining materials, looking rather crude. Following the arrival of Yunxiao and the others, they followed Chen Yang to improve the environment.
Especially the Hibiscus Garden, which was kept by Yunxiao and integrated into Dabao Peak, adding an extra touch of scenery.
At present, inside a certain pavilion in the Hibiscus Garden.
Chen Yang sipped Enlightenment Tea, "Good tea..."
"Hehe... Not only is it delicious, it also contains Dao rhyme comprehension. Little Junior Nephew... You have been cultivating for nearly a thousand years, and your cultivation realm is growing very fast too," Bixiao said with a giggle.
Chen Yang smiled in response, "My rapid cultivation growth is still no match for Junior Aunt Yunxiao. Junior Aunt Yunxiao... You are already in the Supreme Unity Profound Immortal realm now, and a step further would be the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm."
"Being able to improve so quickly is largely thanks to the help of my nephew. Our five elements merging together in cultivation made the five elements qi within my body go a step further, and breaking through was just a matter of course," Yunxiao could not help smiling and saying.
"That is naturally... The five elements smelted within Nephew Chen Yang's body and the five elements smelted within my sister's body generate and restrict each other. Cultivating together is beneficial to both of you. Nephew Chen Yang... This idea was actually mine..." Qiongxiao also smiled and said.
"Then I must thank Junior Aunt Qiongxiao," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"I don't want mere thanks. If you really want to thank me, when I condense the five elements, you must also practice in dual cultivation with me to help me refine the five elements. However, before that, practice in dual cultivation with my Sister Yunxiao first," Qiongxiao could not help saying.
"I would be more than happy to. Rest assured, I will run over to the Three Immortal Islands more often to find Junior Aunt Yunxiao for dual cultivation practice," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Yunxiao, on the other hand, felt slightly shy, nodded, and said, "Alright, you are welcome."
To put it simply, joint practice was a simplified form of dual cultivation. Speaking of which, dual cultivation had three forms: dual cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit. The dual cultivation of essence was the fusion of physical bodies to elevate the physical body and enhance cultivation. The dual cultivation of qi was the practice Chen Yang and Yunxiao were currently doing, which relied on the intermingling of internal magic power for cultivation. The dual cultivation of spirit was the fusion of primordial spirits, which was the most thorough.
Because of this, Yunxiao felt slightly shy and somewhat embarrassed now. Even though the Interception Sect did not have much to speak of regarding ethics nowadays, it was still somewhat awkward after all.
Time flowed on, and Chen Yang sipped tea with the three sisters.
Duobao had disappeared for nearly a thousand years, but eventually appeared.
Duobao came to Dabao Peak, looked at the completely altered Dabao Peak, and almost failed to recognize it.
However, looking at the small bridge over flowing water and the Hibiscus Garden where spiritual qi permeated, he also knew what was going on.
Duobao shook his head, took a single step, and arrived inside the Hibiscus Garden. Watching Chen Yang and the three sisters chatting idly and drinking Enlightenment Tea, he could not help saying, "You brat, you really know how to enjoy yourself."
Upon hearing this and seeing Duobao approach, Chen Yang immediately said, "Master, you have returned."
The three sisters also paid their respects, "Greetings, Senior Brother Duobao."
Duobao nodded, "We are all our own people, there is no need for such courtesy. Brat, hurry up and pour me a cup of tea."
Chen Yang gave a cheeky grin, immediately poured a cup of Enlightenment Tea, and handed it to Duobao, "Master, taste your tea."
Duobao nodded, took a small sip, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he pondered slightly, "Enlightenment Tea?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang was actually surprised, "Master, you tasted it out. But why aren't you surprised? After all, Enlightenment Tea is rumored..."
"What rumors? I have even seen the 'Enlightenment Tea Tree', how could I blindly believe rumors? This tea tree itself was a possession of the Eastern Sovereign, but it disappeared following the battle of Penglai. Many people suspected that the Enlightenment Tea tree was hidden in the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure. Later on, the rumors became more and more mystical, and eventually, the Enlightenment Tea tree became a legendary object. I never expected that the Enlightenment Tea tree would end up in the hands of you brat," Duobao said, taking another sip.
Chen Yang suddenly came to an understanding, "So that was it, I thought the rumors of the Primordial World were all..."
"Sigh... Rumors kill people. The Primordial World is too vast, and many pieces of information do not circulate easily, so as time goes on, 'a single word of truth breeds ten thousand books of falsehood' appears. Alright, enough of this, let's talk about some serious business," Duobao said, his expression also turning serious.
Hearing this, Chen Yang's expression changed slightly, "Master... Is it a matter concerning that wisp of origin?"
"Not bad... Not long ago, Master gave that shred of Eastern Sovereign's Origin to your grandmaster. Your grandmaster indeed saw a lot of information from the origin. However, the information is complex and lacks a lot, so it is difficult to obtain effective intelligence for a time. However, from the numerous pieces of information, we did obtain news related to some treasures. Therefore, you guys have truly encountered a great fortuitous encounter this time," Duobao said, stroking his beard.
Hearing this, an expression of astonishment appeared on Chen Yang's face.
The three sisters were the same, every single one of them wearing a surprised expression.
There was no help for it; even though Chen Yang had lived for so many years and could be considered knowledgeable, encountering such a matter would still shock him.
After all, it concerned the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure, and if it was truly obtained, it would definitely be a supreme fortuitous encounter.
Chen Yang looked at Duobao and could not help asking, "Master... Where is that treasure, and when..."
"The intelligence contained within the Eastern Sovereign's Origin is far too complex. Even your grandmaster cannot easily find the correct information for a while. Therefore, the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure can only be waited for slowly. However, your grandmaster also said that being able to discover such a great fortuitous encounter is entirely your merit. For this reason, when the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure is truly found in the future, your share will not be lacking. Secondly, your grandmaster is very happy and is prepared to grant you some rewards," Duobao said, stroking his beard.
Hearing this, Chen Yang did not feel strange at all, but instead felt curious, "Master, what rewards are being given to us?"
"You can forget about it, you currently have so many treasures on your body, giving you a few more spiritual treasures would only be icing on the cake and would not be of any help to you. So your grandmaster is prepared to wait until you grow to the Daluo Realm before seeking a stroke of good fortune for you," Duobao said slowly.
"Good fortune? What good fortune?" Chen Yang could not help but feel puzzled.
Duobao stroked his beard and then said, "The status of a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect. Previously, when I helped you, my words carried little weight after all. With your grandmaster stepping in, it will be different. Your status as a fourth-generation disciple of this Mystic Sect will probably be solidified."
Hearing this, Chen Yang's expression carried a smile, and he did not know what else to say. In fact, Chen Yang had been thinking lately that it seemed after the Three Sects Tournament, his cultivation had been smooth and fortuitous encounters continuous. The reason it turned out like this was obviously related to fortune.
The fortune of the Three Teachings enveloped him, causing Chen Yang to have continuous fortuitous encounters, smooth cultivation, and constant breakthroughs.
It could be said that fortune was definitely a treasure for those who cultivated.
Chen Yang being able to acquire the Human Pool, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the Astral Divine Tree... perhaps that was the effect of fortune.
Chen Yang personally experienced the benefits of fortune, and naturally yearned greatly for it. If he could obtain the status of a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect and enjoy the fortune of the Mystic Sect,
that would definitely be a great fortuitous encounter for him.
"Master... Grandmaster is arranging the status of a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect for me. What about Junior Aunt Yunxiao and the others?" Chen Yang inquired.
Duobao stroked his beard, turned to look at the three sisters, and also wore a smile, "Junior Sister Yunxiao... Master naturally has quite a few rewards for you all as well. But compared to Chen Yang, it is ultimately somewhat inferior."
Yunxiao smiled faintly, "Senior Brother Duobao... Whatever the rewards are, they are secondary. Besides, Nephew Chen Yang has higher potential and deeper fortuitous encounters than us, which is only natural."
Duobao gave a light chuckle and then said, "Rest assured, Master will not treat you unfairly either. Master said that not long ago, he will issue an announcement to the entire Interception Sect. Taking direct disciples and personal disciples as examples, thirty-six core disciples will be added. Interception Sect core disciples enjoy one layer of the Interception Sect's fortune, and their resource treatment is similar to that of personal disciples. Among them, the first three core disciples to be affirmed are Junior Sister Yunxiao, Junior Sister Qiongxiao, and Junior Sister Bixiao. Aside from this core disciple seat, you three sisters may go to the Interception Sect Treasury and each select a rare treasure."
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao's expression changed slightly with a trace of excitement, and she looked toward the direction of Biyou Palace, "This disciple pays her respects and expresses gratitude to Master, and also thanks Senior Brother Duobao."
Duobao stroked his beard and chuckled, "These are all things you deserve."
Yunxiao nodded, but her expression carried a hint of joy.
Years later, the three sisters returned to the Three Immortal Islands.
Duobao took Chen Yang back to his cave dwelling, and then tossed a stubborn rock to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang looked at the stubborn rock and was puzzled, "Master, what is this?"
"The Six-Eared Macaque. Didn't you brat want to subjugate the Six-Eared Macaque? Earlier, when your grandmaster extracted the Eastern Sovereign's Origin, he also casually refined the physical body of the Six-Eared Macaque, obtaining the purest essence blood and fusing it into this 'Wind Spirit Stone'. Afterward, you just need to wait slowly, and the foundational vital breath of the Six-Eared Macaque will gradually merge into this Wind Spirit Stone. By then, the new generation of the Six-Eared Macaque will be conceived from the Wind Spirit Stone," Duobao said, stroking his beard.
Chen Yang looked at the stubborn rock before him and could not help saying, "I had no idea the foundational vital breath of the Six-Eared Macaque could attach to anything at all. I thought it could only attach inside the bodies of some female monkeys."
"That's not the case. No matter which of the Four Chaos Monkeys dies, their foundational vital breath can freely seek out a vessel to dwell in. It could be a monkey, or it could be some spiritual object, or perhaps a spiritual root... basically anything. Therefore, your grandmaster brought out this 'Wind Spirit Stone' to carry the essence blood of the Six-Eared Macaque and guide his foundational vital breath," Duobao explained.
"So that's how it is... Also, choosing the 'Wind Spirit Stone' to act as the dwelling vessel must be because the Six-Eared Macaque has an affinity with wind," Chen Yang said casually.
