Chapter 967: Accepting the Invitation, Exchange of Dao Mastery
Editor: Henyee Translations
Concerning the essence of an immortal, even if it does not directly assist one to ascend, it can still increase the odds somewhat.
Such an opportunity excited both Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu.
They pondered for a long time, and the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect was patient, quietly waiting.
Jiang Chengxuan was genuinely interested in the immortal’s cave abode,
Especially if it harbored the chance for ascension, it could propel Qin Shenwu to a higher plane, allowing him to ascend to the immortal realm successfully.
Then, as the sect master of the Haoran Sect, he could truly dominate the Floodgate Realm.
Qin Shenwu, needless to say, was deeply interested given it concerned ascension.
With such a pursuit of opportunity, they both had some confidence, especially with the cooperation of the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect.
Such benefits were enough to warrant their taking the risk.
“In fact, it will be a few hundred years before the immortal’s cave abode opens. If you gentlemen have any concerns…”
Just as they were prepared to agree, the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect further reassured them,
Eliminating any lingering worries they might have.
“Excellent! Since the Daolord is so sincere, we, master and disciple, will surely accompany you when the time comes!”
Jiang Chengxuan glanced at Qin Shenwu, who also nodded slightly,
Immediately, he affirmed to the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect.
Hearing this, the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief, thoroughly pleased.
This added significantly to his sect’s confidence in exploring the immortal’s cave abode.
After all, regarding the treasures within, they were determined to obtain them, even if it meant sharing with others.
Compared to other forces, they were more aware of the preciousness of these opportunities, which is why they took the initiative to invite the Haoran Sect.
This would undoubtedly catch other forces off guard.
“Then, let’s settle on this arrangement. When the day the cave abode is about to open approaches, I will come and inform you both to proceed together! Farewell!”
Having achieved his goal, the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect did not linger.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Chengxuan and Qin Shenwu, he transformed into an invisible light and disappeared outside the Haoran Sect.
“Shifu, this Daolord from the Pantheon Sect, can he be trusted?”
Once the Daolord had left, Jiang Chengxuan slowly asked.
“Mm, he is somewhat similar to our Haoran Sect in demeanor, cultivating with a heart of righteousness.”
Qin Shenwu thus spoke, knowing more about the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect.
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan also nodded. With that settled, they would quietly await the day the opportunity arose.
Do not doubt those you use; do not use those you doubt. From this moment, the Daolord from the Pantheon Sect was a steadfast ally of the Haoran Sect.
However, going to the extraterrestrial realm was somewhat regrettable, as they could no longer bring along the Thunderclap Valley,
After all, traveling to extraterrestrial realms required the lead of a Mahayana Daolord.
…
Upon returning to Cloud Mist Peak, Jiang Chengxuan informed Shen Ruyan of the matters regarding the immortal’s cave abode,
Naturally, he would not conceal anything from his Dao companion.
She also fully supported his decision, and if conditions allowed,
Jiang Chengxuan would surely take Shen Ruyan with him.
The days thereafter gradually entered a phase of calm.
Jiang Chengxuan had taken over as the head of the Haoran Sect, spending his days managing general affairs,
Using the remaining time for cultivation with Shen Ruyan.
During this period, he often received invitations from other mastery-level cultivators,
To participate in various Dao mastery exchange conferences.
Such conferences were typically only accessible to cultivators of Dao mastery level.
The powerful from various parts of the Floodgate Realm would gather to exchange techniques, discuss the Dao, and foster relationships.
More importantly, these Dao mastery exchange conferences often featured trade fairs where items were bartered.
Here, one could encounter treasures only accessible to those of Dao mastery level, rarely shown in public otherwise.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan was walking through the marketplace at the Dao mastery exchange conference.
This place was an extraordinary space, created through the power of treasures,
Enveloped in mist and abundant in spiritual energy, adorned with exotic flowers and rare animals.
Here, outside cultivators couldn’t pry, allowing everyone to display their cherished possessions for exchange.
“Is this… the Samsara Bead?”
Jiang Chengxuan stopped before a cultivator and asked in surprise.
It was an item imbued with the essence of Samsara, capable of bringing new dimensions to his Dao of Samsara,
And certainly an item he found worthy of interest.
“Sharp eyes, indeed it is.”
The cultivator facing Jiang Chengxuan, needless to say, was also a Dao mastery-level cultivator.
“How might this treasure be acquired? Please, speak freely.”
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan got straight to the point.
After all, those who have cultivated to the realm of Dao mastery are seasoned and shrewd; circumlocution would be futile.
At the conference, the only thing that mattered was who had more to offer.
“Hehe, not much, just a quasi-immortal medicine will suffice.”
The blue-robed cultivator spoke slowly.
This price immediately made Jiang Chengxuan frown; it was indeed steep.
“That might be inappropriate.”
“How about adding a minor Samsara Bead as well? How does that sound?”
Faced with Jiang Chengxuan’s questioning, the blue-robed cultivator clearly knew he was at a disadvantage and thus sweetened the deal.
He knew the value of the Samsara Bead but for him, it wasn’t of much use.
However, for Jiang Chengxuan, it was different; he still wanted to make this deal work if possible.
After hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan pondered for a moment.
As the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, he could certainly afford it, especially since it was just quasi-immortal medicine,
In the new world’s medicine fields, the Haoran Sect had managed to cultivate a few.
“As far as I know, these Samsara Beads typically appear in sets of three…”
Eventually, Jiang Chengxuan slowly stated.
The Dao Mastery Cultivator on the other side widened his eyes at this, clearly not expecting his counterpart to know so much about this treasure.
“Indeed. Three beads can be exchanged for a quasi-immortal medicine, but which specific quasi-immortal medicine will still need to be seen.”
Finally, the blue-robed cultivator conceded a step.
As long as the quasi-immortal medicine suited his Dao, he would be willing to take this slight loss.
“Hehe, very well.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and took out a treasure box from his body, inside which was a plant burning with true sun fire.
“This is a Nine Revolutions True Yang Plant, how about this?”
The Nine Revolutions True Yang Plant, a quasi-immortal medicine, could allow a mastery-level cultivator to foster nine revolutions of true sun energy within their spirit,
Be it in enlightenment, combat, or prolonging life, it was said to have miraculous effects.
“Done! It’s a deal!”
With this all-purpose quasi-immortal medicine, Jiang Chengxuan quickly obtained three Reincarnation Pearls.
After parting ways, Jiang Chengxuan lingered a bit longer at the Dao mastery exchange conference,
Before eventually leaving the event.
In fact, during this period, Jiang Chengxuan had attended several Dao Mastery-level exchanges,
Acquiring many resources beneficial to himself, thereby significantly enhancing his own foundation.
