Mystic Sect Fortune, Six-Eared Macaque's Blood Essence

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.

After awakening, Chen Yang's cultivation had changed slightly. He had reached the peak of the Supreme Unity Heavenly Immortal realm.

Dabao Peak had also undergone tremendous changes. In the past, it had been piled high with artifact-refining materials and looked rather crude. After Yunxiao and her sisters arrived, they had worked with Chen Yang to improve the surroundings.

Hibiscus Garden in particular had been left behind by Yunxiao and integrated into Dabao Peak, adding another beautiful view.

Now, within a pavilion somewhere in Hibiscus Garden.

Chen Yang took a sip of Enlightenment Tea. "Good tea..."

"Hehe... Not only does it taste good, but it also contains insights into the Dao. Little martial nephew... you have cultivated for nearly a thousand years, yet your cultivation has risen quite quickly." Bixiao said with a giggle.

Chen Yang smiled. "My cultivation may have risen quickly, but not as quickly as Aunt-Master Yunxiao's. Aunt-Master Yunxiao... you have already reached the Supreme Unity Profound Immortal realm. One more step, and you will become a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal."

"I was able to improve so quickly thanks to your help, martial nephew. When our Five Elements merged during cultivation, the Five Elements energy within me advanced further. Breaking through was only natural." Yunxiao could not help but smile.

"Of course... The Five Elements refined within Martial Nephew Chen Yang and those refined within my elder sister naturally reinforce and restrain one another. Cultivating together benefits both of you. Martial Nephew Chen Yang... I was the one who came up with this idea..." Qiongxiao said with a smile as well.

"Then I should thank Aunt-Master Qiongxiao." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I do not want your thanks. If you truly want to thank me, then when I condense the Five Elements, cultivate with me as well and help me temper them. But before that, continue cultivating with my sister Yunxiao." Qiongxiao said.

"I would be delighted. Do not worry, I will visit Three Immortal Islands more often and seek out Aunt-Master Yunxiao to cultivate together." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Yunxiao was slightly shy, but she nodded. "All right. You are welcome anytime."

Speaking of which, cultivating together was a simplified form of dual cultivation. Dual cultivation had three forms: dual cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit. Dual cultivation of essence involved the union of bodies, strengthening the physical body and raising cultivation. Dual cultivation of energy was the kind Chen Yang and Yunxiao currently practiced, relying on the fusion of the mana within their bodies. Dual cultivation of spirit involved the fusion of primordial spirits, and it was the most thorough kind.

For this reason, Yunxiao was somewhat shy and embarrassed. Even though there were few ethical restrictions within the Jie Sect, it was still rather awkward.

Time passed as Chen Yang and the Three Xiao sisters sipped tea.

Duobao had been gone for nearly a thousand years, but he finally returned.

Duobao arrived at Dabao Peak and nearly failed to recognize the greatly transformed mountain.

However, upon seeing the little bridges, flowing water, and the spirit energy that filled Hibiscus Garden, he understood what had happened.

Duobao shook his head and took a single step, arriving inside Hibiscus Garden. Seeing Chen Yang and the Three Xiao sisters chatting leisurely and drinking Enlightenment Tea, he could not help saying, "You brat, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself."

Hearing this, Chen Yang saw Duobao arrive and immediately said, "Master, you are back."

The Three Xiao sisters also greeted him. "Greetings, Senior Brother Duobao."

Duobao nodded. "We are all family, so there is no need to be so polite. Brat, hurry up and pour me a cup of tea."

Chen Yang chuckled and immediately poured a cup of Enlightenment Tea, handing it to Duobao. "Master, please enjoy."

Duobao nodded and took a sip. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes before he fell into slight contemplation. "Enlightenment Tea?"

Chen Yang was rather surprised. "Master, you recognized it from the taste. But why are you not surprised? After all, Enlightenment Tea is merely rumored to exist..."

"What rumor? I have seen the Enlightenment Tea Tree itself, so why would I trust rumors? That tea tree originally belonged to the Eastern Sovereign, but it disappeared after the battle at Penglai. Many people suspected that the Enlightenment Tea Tree was hidden within the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure. Later, the stories became increasingly exaggerated, until the Enlightenment Tea Tree became an object of legend. I never expected that you brat would ultimately obtain it." Duobao said before taking another sip.

Chen Yang suddenly understood. "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 information does not travel easily. Thus, over time, 'one true sentence becomes ten thousand false books.' Enough of that. Let us discuss something important." As Duobao spoke, his expression became serious.

Chen Yang's expression shifted slightly. "Master... is this related to that wisp of Origin?"

"That is right... Not long ago, I handed that trace of the Eastern Sovereign's Origin to your grandmaster. Your grandmaster saw much information within it. However, the information was complicated and incomplete, making it difficult to obtain anything useful for the time being. Still, among all that information, he did uncover clues regarding certain treasures. So, you truly encountered a great opportunity this time." Duobao said as he stroked his beard.

Surprise appeared on Chen Yang's face.

The Three Xiao sisters were the same, each of them looking astonished.

It could not be helped. Even though Chen Yang had lived for so many years and could be considered well-traveled and knowledgeable, he was still shocked by something like this.

After all, this concerned the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure. If they truly obtained it, it would be an immense opportunity.

Chen Yang looked at Duobao and could not help asking, "Master... where is the treasure, and when will it be found..."

"The information contained within the Eastern Sovereign's Origin is far too complicated. Even your grandmaster cannot find the correct information in a short time. Therefore, the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure can only be waited for slowly. However, your grandmaster also said that discovering such a great opportunity was all thanks to you. Thus, once the Eastern Sovereign's Treasure is truly found in the future, you will not be left out. Furthermore, your grandmaster is very pleased and intends to give you some rewards." Duobao said as he stroked his beard.

Chen Yang did not find this strange. Instead, he asked curiously, "Master, what rewards will we receive?"

"As for you, forget it. You already possess so many treasures that giving you more spirit treasures would merely be icing on the cake and would not help you much. Therefore, your grandmaster intends to seek out a providence for you once you reach the Daluo Realm." Duobao said slowly.

"A providence? What kind of providence?" Chen Yang could not help feeling puzzled.

Duobao stroked his beard and said, "The status of a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect. Previously, even though I helped you, my words did not carry enough weight. But if your grandmaster steps forward, it will be different. Your status as a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect will likely be confirmed."

Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled, though he did not know what else to say. In truth, Chen Yang had recently been thinking that after the Three Sects Tournament, his cultivation had gone smoothly and opportunities had come one after another. The reason for this was clearly related to fortune.

The fortune of the Three Teachings had enveloped him, granting Chen Yang unending opportunities, smooth cultivation, and continual breakthroughs.

It could be said that fortune was absolutely a treasure to cultivators.

Chen Yang's acquisition of the Human Pool, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the Astral Divine Tree... might well have been the effect of fortune.

Chen Yang had personally experienced the benefits of fortune. Naturally, he greatly desired it. If he could gain the status of a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect and enjoy the fortune of the Mystic Sect—

Then it would undoubtedly be an immense opportunity for Chen Yang.

"Master... Grandmaster is handling my status as a fourth-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect. What about Aunt-Master Yunxiao and the others?" Chen Yang asked.

Duobao stroked his beard, then looked at the Three Xiao sisters with a smile. "Junior Sister Yunxiao... Master naturally has plenty of rewards for you as well. However, compared to Chen Yang's, they are ultimately somewhat lacking."

Yunxiao smiled faintly. "Senior Brother Duobao... Whatever the reward may be is secondary. Besides, Martial Nephew Chen Yang has greater potential and deeper opportunities than us. That is only natural."

Duobao chuckled. "Do not worry, Master will not treat you unfairly. Master has said that he will soon announce this to the entire Jie Sect. In addition to direct disciples and personal disciples, thirty-six core disciples will be established. Core disciples of the Jie Sect will enjoy a portion of the Jie Sect's fortune, and their resources and treatment will be similar to those of personal disciples. The first three confirmed core disciples will be Junior Sister Yunxiao, Junior Sister Qiongxiao, and Junior Sister Bixiao. Apart from these core disciple positions, you three may each enter the Jie Sect Treasury and select one treasure."

After hearing this, Yunxiao's expression changed slightly. With a trace of excitement, she looked toward Biyou Palace. "This disciple thanks Master and also thanks Senior Brother Duobao."

Duobao stroked his beard and chuckled. "These are all things you deserve."

Yunxiao nodded, joy apparent in her expression.

Years later, the Three Xiao sisters returned to Three Immortal Islands.

Duobao brought Chen Yang back to the cave abode, then tossed him an unremarkable stone.

Chen Yang looked at the stone in confusion. "Master, what is this?"

"Six-Eared Macaque. Did you not want to subdue the Six-Eared Macaque? When your grandmaster extracted the Eastern Sovereign's Origin earlier, he also refined the Six-Eared Macaque's body and obtained its purest blood essence, which he fused into this Wind Spirit Stone. Afterward, you only need to wait slowly. The Six-Eared Macaque's origin essence will gradually merge into this Wind Spirit Stone. When that time comes, a new generation of Six-Eared Macaque will be born from it." Duobao said as he stroked his beard.

Chen Yang looked at the unremarkable stone before him and could not help saying, "So the Six-Eared Macaque's origin essence can attach itself to anything. I thought it could only attach itself within the bodies of female monkeys."

"That is not the case. Whenever one of the Four Chaos Monkeys dies, its origin essence can freely seek out an object to reside in. It could be a monkey, some spiritual object, or even a spiritual root... virtually anything is possible. That is why your grandmaster took out this Wind Spirit Stone to carry the Six-Eared Macaque's blood essence and draw in its origin essence." Duobao explained.

"So that is how it is... And choosing the Wind Spirit Stone as its vessel should be because the Six-Eared Macaque is aligned with wind." Chen Yang said casually.
