Jade Disc of Creation

The imperial capital of the Big Dipper Empire was a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Even the most remote little shopfront came at an exorbitant price, let alone a grand estate in the heart of the Big Dipper Empire occupying a hundred mu of land.

Such an estate would cost at least hundreds of millions.

And that was in High-grade Spirit Stones.

The estate had grand formation restrictions laid down by Su Xiu. Without a token, even experts at the True God Late Stage Peak would be unable to open them.

Though these restrictions were as good as nonexistent to Lu Yiping, he still took out Su Mei's token, opened the estate's restrictions, and entered with the others.

The moment they stepped into the estate, spiritual energy rushed at them.

Song Ning and the others discovered that every wooden pillar in the estate had been crafted from rare golden nanmu spiritwood.

Even the stone bricks paving the ground were each made of Star Stone.

The courtyard brimmed with verdant life, and the fragrance of countless flowers filled the air.

Even the flowers and grass were all rare varieties seldom seen.

The pond, meanwhile, was filled with Nine Yang Spirit Water.

Strands of Nine Yang energy permeated the Nine Yang Spirit Water, making one's entire body feel pleasantly warm while staying within the estate.

Behind the estate lay a large garden, where the spirit herbs planted within were all at least fifty thousand years old.

The value of these spirit herbs alone exceeded that of the estate.

Song Ning and the many experts of the Thunderque Sword Sect marveled without end.

Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu, father and son, felt as though they had entered a heavenly palace.

Lu Yiping's expression remained calm. The divine herbs in his Sacred Forest—even the most worthless ones—were tens of thousands of times better than those here.

Afterward, Lu Yiping had Song Ning and the others choose rooms for themselves.

There were many rooms in the estate, nearly a hundred in total. More than forty people had come from the Thunderque Sword Sect this time, so there were more than enough rooms.

Just as Lu Yiping and the others settled into Su Xiu's estate, within the imperial palace of the Big Dipper Empire, Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian, clad in a golden robe embroidered with nine dragons and radiating an invisible pressure from head to toe, listened as General Chen Yuan delivered his report. His eyes flickered.

After Chen Yuan finished reporting, Zhou Ding Tian pondered aloud, "What do you think this young man's relationship is with Su Xiu, the ancestor of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect? Could he be Su Xiu's personal disciple?"

Chen Yuan hurriedly replied, "This subordinate cannot say for certain. Since that young man possesses Su Xiu's token, his relationship with Su Xiu must be far from shallow. Even if he is not Su Xiu's disciple, he should be one of Su Xiu's juniors."

"As for his connection with the Thunderque Sword Sect, I have already investigated it. He was the one who pulled out the Crimson Flame Sword some time ago."

Zhou Ding Tian was surprised. "Oh, he was the one who pulled out the Crimson Flame Sword?"

Many talented individuals from the empires of the Divine Martial Continent had tried to pull out the Crimson Flame Sword, but no one had ever succeeded.

"Yes. Furthermore, when Sword Demon Xi Lai was killed, he happened to be at the Thunderque Sword Sect," Chen Yuan added.

Zhou Ding Tian was once again surprised. "You mean Sword Demon Xi Lai was very likely killed by the four guards at his side?"

"This subordinate speculates that it should be so," Chen Yuan said respectfully.

Zhou Ding Tian fell into thought. "Those four guards were able to kill Sword Demon Xi Lai. It seems they possess strength no weaker than the God Realm. Could Su Xiu have sent them to protect him?"

Night fell, the darkness flowing like water.

Lu Yiping sat cross-legged in a room within the estate, circulating the Longevity Art.

The Longevity Art had forty-nine levels in total.

It was a cultivation art recorded within the Jade Disc of Creation.

After leaving the Sacred Forest, he had already broken through to the forty-ninth level.

As the forty-ninth level of the Longevity Art circulated, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, while streams of auspicious energy descended from the void.

Above Lu Yiping's head was an Auspicious Cloud, and upon it rested an object! It was unexpectedly a small jade-colored fragment of a disc!

This was precisely the Primordial Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation. However, it was not complete, but merely a small fragment.

Around Lu Yiping's body, one Great Dao after another continuously intertwined, blooming with ineffably profound Dao light. These Great Daos included the Dao of Life and Death, the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Five Elements, and even the Dao of Reincarnation!

There were a full thousand Great Daos!

During the Primordial Era, even the Lord of All Gods had cultivated only ninety-nine Great Daos.

Yet Lu Yiping now possessed as many as a thousand Great Daos.

Naturally, the strength of the two could not be measured as merely ten times apart.

The next day.

Lu Yiping stopped cultivating the Longevity Art.

The Auspicious Cloud above his head and the Jade Disc of Creation descended into his hand.

I wonder where the other fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation are, Lu Yiping thought as he looked at the small fragment in his hand.

The complete Jade Disc of Creation had twenty-four fragments and recorded the Three Thousand Great Daos. This small fragment of his was the central and most important of the twenty-four, recording a thousand Great Daos.

Moreover, it contained a complete thousand Great Daos and the Longevity Art.

At this moment, a knock sounded outside the door.

Lu Yiping put the Jade Disc of Creation into his body and said, "Come in."

Song Ning pushed the door open and entered. Moving carefully, he came before Lu Yiping and said respectfully, "Young Master, I asked my friend, the steward from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, about it. He said their guild will hold an auction next month, where a Dark Moon Divine Spark will be auctioned."

Although the Dark Moon Divine Spark was not a fourteenth-level Supreme Godhead, it was still an eleventh-level Divine Spark.

"When next month?" Lu Yiping asked. "Only one?"

"The first of next month is the Big Dipper Empire's celebration, and the auction has been scheduled for the second," Song Ning hurriedly answered. "There is only one. I have already asked him to help me inquire about another Divine Spark, but Divine Sparks rarely appear at auctions."

Lu Yiping nodded. Glancing at Song Ning, he took a Golden Core from the Qiankun Cauldron and gave it to him. "You handled this well."

Song Ning accepted the Golden Core. Smelling its waves of astonishing medicinal fragrance, he stammered, "A Divine Spirit Golden Core!" Then he asked Lu Yiping in disbelief, "Young Master, th-this is for me?"

Lu Yiping smiled. "Of course it is for you. Could it be for me instead?" Then he smiled again. "It is only a Divine Spirit Golden Core. Get up."

Hearing that Lu Yiping had truly bestowed this Divine Spirit Golden Core upon him, Song Ning trembled all over with excitement and heavily kowtowed to Lu Yiping. "Song Ning thanks Young Master for granting me this pill!"

"Song Ning will never forget Young Master's great kindness, even if my teeth fall out!"

Lu Yiping merely smiled and did not take it to heart. He had Song Ning rise, and then Song Ning left the room.

"Master, a general from the Big Dipper Empire is requesting an audience outside. It is the one from yesterday. He says he has come on the orders of the Big Dipper Great Emperor," Zhao Wen came over at this moment and said respectfully.

"Oh, he has come on the orders of the Big Dipper Great Emperor." Lu Yiping pondered briefly. "Let him enter. Bring him to the main hall."

Zhao Wen respectfully acknowledged the order and withdrew.

"Young Master, could the Big Dipper Great Emperor have sent someone over because of what happened yesterday?" Song Ning asked uneasily.

"Probably not," Lu Yiping said.

The two headed toward the main hall. Upon arriving, they saw a middle-aged man in battle armor standing inside. It was the general from yesterday.
