Chapter 928: Chapter 346: The Challenge and Advancement of Supernatural Spells
After Lei Jun read through the three lots, he had a rough idea in his mind.
The difference between the moderately good lot and the perfectly neutral lot lies in timing.
When Fang Yue headed to the Cave Heaven Villa known as Dongyang Manor, it probably wasn’t during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so his gains were limited.
Every year on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there may be additional changes there.
However, on the flip side, Fang Yue had already reached the Transcendent Realm of the Confucian Eight Heavenly Layer Chanting. This cultivation path is superior in communicating with the heavens and sensing the surroundings, so for the mysteries of Dongyang Manor to elude him, it must be extraordinary.
"The Great Han Dynasty... I’m interested in this matter. There’s no need for additional compensation; just for this matter, I’m willing to exchange with the Six Yang Essence," Lei Jun stated.
Fang Yue: "Thank you, sir. There is one thing I need to inform you in advance. To enter Dongyang Manor through this spiritual object, you need to activate it with Confucian Haoran Qi to open the Void Gateway. I’m not certain whether other cultivation paths can open it. If it’s inconvenient for you to activate it, you can contact me again."
Lei Jun: "Alright, I appreciate your thoughtfulness."
Fang Yue: "If that’s the case, let’s agree on a place where I will hand over the Dongyang Jade Pendant spiritual object to you."
After setting a location with Fang Yue, Lei Jun exchanged the Dongyang Jade Pendant for the Six Yang Essence.
With some time before the Fifteenth of August and the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lei Jun had no plans to first explore, content to stay on Dragon Tiger Mountain, everything as usual.
Before Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang left the mountain, they had already refined the Cold Flame Spirit using the Profound Darkness Dust born from Mysterious Spirit Primary Qi.
Now, while Lei Jun cultivated the External Scenery of the Divine Court, he could also directly refine the Cold Flame Spirit, further strengthening his Spiritual Soul thanks to the foundation laid earlier by the Lethean Mist.
The flame, which once seemed capable of freezing and shattering the Spiritual Soul, still lacked any searing temperature but was no longer eerily cold to the soul.
Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul separated from his physical body, suspended above his flesh.
The flame, without a specific form, seemed ever more ethereal as it attached to Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul.
Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul appeared to burn along with it.
As time progressed, Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul also seemed to become ethereal.
This cycle repeated several times until the illusory cold fire extinguished.
At this moment, Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul reappeared, looking incredibly vivid, as if it had a real, tangible presence, somewhat resembling the Yang God form that emerges when the Nascent Soul of a Taoist Dan Ding Sect’s master exits the body.
His Spiritual Soul slowly descended, returning to his physical body.
"The effect is quite impressive," Lei Jun nodded slightly.
He focused and contemplated.
His perception of the outside world remained sharp, with his Spiritual Soul now more robust than before, less susceptible to being exploited by adversaries.
Lei Jun gathered his thoughts and continued his cultivation.
Until the Mid-Autumn Festival on the Fifteenth of August arrived.
Lei Jun did not descend the mountain.
After quietly notifying Yuan Mobai, Wang Guiyuan, and Chu Kun, Lei Jun stayed alone in a quiet room.
He now held a jade pendant in his hand, on which was carved the pattern of a rising sun.
Lei Jun first used his mana to warm and nurture the jade pendant.
The jade pendant seemed to flash with a flowing light, but there was no further reaction.
Lei Jun remained calm and took out his Vast Integrity Jade Kui.
Converted by the Vast Integrity Jade Kui, his Taoist magical power instantly transformed into a flourishing Confucian Haoran Qi.
Enveloped and activated by a vast amount of Confucian Haoran Qi, the Dongyang Jade Pendant gradually began to change.
The surface of the jade pendant began to glow with a gentle and not intense brilliance, like the first light of dawn.
Then, like the sunrise breaking, this dawn light became brighter and more intense.
As the light expanded, a Void Gateway seemed to appear before Lei Jun.
Lei Jun stepped into this Void Gateway.
The brilliance before his eyes was no longer as blinding as staring at the sun. Instead, the light dimmed.
In front of Lei Jun, the scene was picturesque with lush mountains and clear waters. In the mountains was a courtyard, with a plaque above the gate inscribed with the word "Dongyang."
Lei Jun sensed with his mind, confirming that there was no one else here.
He entered the courtyard, looking around, just as Fang Yue mentioned, the useful items were limited.
But it was certain that the thoughts here did not seem ancient.
Limited useful information indicated that the mortal realm where the master of this manor resided belonged to one under the Great Han Dynasty.
However, there lacked further clues.
The manor was heavily laden with Wenhua Qi but no books remained, nullifying Fang Yue’s previous and Lei Jun’s current intentions to understand related history.
This place indeed seemed like a casual stop for someone.
During his exploration, Lei Jun felt a subtle abnormality through his mental senses but could not grasp it clearly for the moment.
He remained patient, observing calmly while silently keeping track of time.
Outside of the Cave Heaven Villa, in the real world of the Great Tang Realm, the current time should have reached night, precisely when the full moon was rising.
The next moment, this Cave Heaven Villa instantly changed its appearance, as if switching from day to night.
In a transformation from extreme to reversal, the sunlight at this moment turned into moonlight.
This mysterious villa in the Cave Heaven, usually bright with daylight, welcomed a moonlit night at this moment.
As if it existed under the same full moon as the real world outside, the moonlight was clear and serene.
Lei Jun sensed something and looked into the distance.
Then he vaguely saw the appearance of an ocean in the distant mountains.
At this moment, a full moon seemed to rise in the sea as well.
The Void of this Cave Heaven Villa seemed split in two.
On one side, mountain houses, on the other, the ebb and flow of tides.
Meanwhile, Lei Jun heard someone chanting melodiously:
"A bright moon rising from the sea, shared at this moment across the horizon."
The bright moon rising from the sea waves merged with the original full moon above Dongyang Manor.
