Chapter 2376: Chapter 826: War Reignites
Heaven Fire Sect.
When Zhou Chun returned to the Heaven Fire Sect as a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, this place held no secrets for him anymore.
He had always wanted to know if the Heaven Fire Divine Pearl was a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.
Now he understood that this object was indeed not a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.
However, in his perception, the Heaven Fire Divine Pearl had reached the limits of spiritual treasures, just lacking a trace of opportunity to transform into a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.
If one had to compare this trace of opportunity, it would be akin to spiritual objects like the Myriad Golden Mother Stone that naturally possess Dao Script.
If it could merge with spirit materials containing the Power of Fire Element Great Dao, then the Heaven Fire Divine Pearl could immediately transform into a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.
But for the Heaven Fire Sect, this opportunity was apparently hard to come by.
Such spirit materials containing the Power of Fire Element Great Dao were treasures that Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators competed for even in ancient times, let alone in the cultivation world today.
Even if such spirit materials were found, they’d need to be suitable for artifact refining.
For example, the Flesh Ganoderma Zhou Chun acquired obviously didn’t meet the requirements.
Thus, if the Heaven Fire Divine Pearl only continues to absorb the power of the underground fire spirit vein to refine itself, it basically won’t transform into a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.
"Previously, I thought it was difficult for the Heaven Fire Sect to find such a Spirit Mountain Blessed Land, and that’s why they established their mountain gate here despite knowing the dangers. But now I see I was mistaken."
"The founder of the Heaven Fire Sect probably established it here mainly to utilize the underground fire spirit vein to refine the Heaven Fire Divine Pearl!"
"This treasure’s current spirituality likely comes from absorbing a large amount of Fire Essence!"
With keen insight, Zhou Chun immediately discerned the state of the Heaven Fire Divine Pearl and understood the thoughts of the masters of the Heaven Fire Sect.
Then, he quickly shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, for an Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, even with skilled artifact refining techniques, it is impossible to make bricks without straw!"
How difficult it is to refine a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure in this realm!
Even the mighty Tai Geng Divine Venerable had to obtain a perfect match like the Myriad Golden Mother Stone to elevate his Lifebound Spirit Treasure, cultivated for thousands of years, to a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure.
As for other Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators, apart from being uncertain about Changchun Venerable Zhou Chun’s treasure, the Lifebound Spirit Treasures of others are certainly not yet Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures!
The key limiting the promotion of these spiritual treasures to Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures is the spirit material ingredients!
Zhou Chun had some advantages in this regard, having obtained such a large piece of Myriad Golden Mother Stone, with both of his Lifebound Spirit Treasures infused significantly.
But for his Lifebound Spirit Treasures to advance to Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures, it’s not something that can be achieved in the short term.
Because for a spiritual treasure to advance to a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, aside from having an appropriate rare treasure for transformation, its artifact spirit’s spirituality must undergo transformation.
Zhou Chun’s Lifebound Spirit Treasures, having been spiritual treasures for a short time, had far less developed artifact spirits compared to the Lifebound Spirit Treasures refined for thousands of years by other Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators.
To transform a Lifebound Spirit Treasure into a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure within a thousand years is already considered very successful.
Having resolved a long-standing question in his mind, Zhou Chun had no intention of showing up at the Heaven Fire Sect, choosing to quietly come and go.
A day later, Zhou Chun returned to Kunwu Mountain in Yu Country.
He initially considered visiting Lingfeng Venerable, but Tai Geng Divine Venerable previously persuaded him it was unnecessary, as he might not meet anyone, leading to awkwardness.
Zhou Chun, who often takes advice, decided not to go.
Upon returning to Kunwu Peak, Zhou Chun called Luo Qingni over and handed her the newly acquired Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill.
"This Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill is the harvest from my trip. Its efficacy is outstanding, increasing the success rate of breaking through to Nascent Soul Late Stage by thirty percent. Qingni, keep it for yourself and use it as you see fit!"
Luo Qingni didn’t expect that his summoning was for this purpose, and she was momentarily stunned.
After a pause, she shook her head slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, I appreciate your kind gesture, but this item is not convenient for me to accept. It’s best left for Xinyuan!"
"Qingni, why be so formal with me?"
Zhou Chun stepped forward, took her hand and forced the Alchemy Bottle into her palm, then gently smiled as he held her hand, "Children have their own fortunes. I’ve fulfilled my responsibility by supporting Xinyuan’s Nascent Soul Formation. His future depends on himself. I won’t meddle further!"
With a heartfelt sigh, he continued, "You know, I don’t enjoy others interfering in my life, and likewise, I don’t want to interfere in others’ lives, even if it’s my disciple or son!"
"Of course, I know, because I’m the same way!"
Luo Qingni answered softly and tenderly, then naturally snuggled into Zhou Chun’s embrace.
People with similar dispositions become friends and confidants.
Such is the case for the two of them!
Ten years later, Zhou Zhiying successfully broke through to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, steadily advancing his cultivation level.
Another seven years passed, with Yishan Monarch, under Zhou Chun’s assistance, initially creating a cultivation technique suited to his practice, significantly accelerating his cultivation speed.
Three years later, Qing Hong True Person Zhou Zhiying headed south to Jingguo Country, challenging Moon Wheel Sect’s Cangyue True Person, who refused to emerge, not daring to respond.
