Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

105: Chapter 105 Turmoil and the Fate of the Artifact Inscription”Was vast thunder once a Magic Treasure?”

Chen Zhuxiao was startled by his own guess. Magic Treasures were weapons that only Golden Core True Monarchs could wield, with power capable of destroying the heavens and earth.

If a Golden Core True Monarch held their Lifebound Treasure, they could probably sweep away great stars from beyond the domain within this Realm, turning mountains and rivers into dust.

”Alas, I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but I didn’t expect to attract a Spirit Treasure-level spirit sword to recognize me as its master. Now I’ve become the center of attention,” Chen Zhuxiao sighed softly.

Not only did he make a Spirit Treasure recognize him, but he also activated his Sword Intent and displayed his Thunder Dao cultivation. Now, it was impossible not to attract attention.

”You are only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet you already possess two Spirit Treasures, both of which are Thunder Dao Spirit Treasures. If this gets out, it might shock everyone,” Su Qingyu leaned over, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Chen Zhuxiao shook his head, ”Miss Qingyu, this is not a good thing. A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be toppled by the wind. I fear it will bring disaster to the Chen family.”

”No big deal.” Su Qingyu wiggled her fair index finger. The Flowing Cloud Feather Robe on her body shimmered with crystalline light, dazzling the eyes. ”My current identity is an Ascetic Disciple of the Red Dust Sect. With the Red Dust Sect as a protective talisman, it’s enough to protect both you and me.”

”Furthermore, the Chen family currently has Senior Dou Zhan. Unless a Great True Person with Five Dharma Manifestations makes a move, it won’t pose a threat to the Chen family. Zhu Xiao, you can rest assured.”

”And as a Sword Cultivator of the Divine Thunder Path, you should advance bravely, unafraid of powerful enemies. Constantly being timid will only lead to inferiority and break your spirit.”

She leaned closer to Chen Zhuxiao, her bright eyes meeting his azure thunderous pupils. A captivating smile played on her lips, ”Zhu Xiao, I believe in you. In the future, you will definitely become a Golden Core Sword Immortal, or even a Nascent Soul Sword Immortal, shaking all nations!”

Chen Zhuxiao’s breathing quickened slightly. He quickly turned his face away, saying distractedly, ”Miss Qingyu, let’s focus on waiting for the Immortal Artifact to appear.”

Su Qingyu clasped her hands behind her back, widening the distance between them. The Flowing Cloud Feather Robe on her body subsided, returning to its usual cool demeanor. On the other side, many Cultivators were astonished by the anomaly caused by Chen Zhuxiao, discussing it animatedly and marveling.

”A Thunder Dao Sword Cultivator, and one who has comprehended Sword Intent! If he achieves Purple Mansion, he might be invincible at the Purple Mansion level!”

”Sword Cultivators are common, but Thunder Dao is not. This is an extremely powerful path, and with the power of a Sword Cultivator, the destructive force is unimaginable.”

”I know who he is!” a pale-faced Cultivator, looking somewhat weak, slapped his thigh and exclaimed loudly.

Everyone looked over. The Weak-looking Cultivator shouted, ”He’s the Cultivator who comprehended Sword Intent in the Red Dust Tower a while ago!”

”So it’s him! I heard he was even invited into the pavilion by Fairy Qingyu. I’m so envious!” A Cultivator clenched his fists, saying indignantly.

”I heard that the entrants chosen by the Four Fairies are only Prodigies, future Golden Core True Monarchs. Could it be that this person has the potential to achieve a Thunder Dao Golden Core?” A Cultivator asked in surprise.

The Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom hadn’t seen a Thunder Dao Golden Core in many years, let alone a Thunder Dao Golden Core who walked the path of a Sword Cultivator.

As for True Monarch Shuxuan, he was an exception. He was True Monarch Pivotal Thunder, who had been transferred from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion headquarters, not a native True Monarch of Great Qi.

The Thunder Dao, superior to the Five Elements, is subtly on par with the Four Symbols. It is an extremely powerful path, controlling the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, commanding the vastness of the Nine Provinces!

When prison breaker appeared before Chen Zhuxiao, Yuan Feng, who had just returned to his seat, noticed it.

”Good kid, worthy of being chosen by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. He can even be recognized by a Spirit Treasure.”

One must know that the Lifebound Spirit Artifact he had Master Xuan Duan of Qi Xuan Pavilion forge was only a Spirit Treasure-level weapon.

What surprised him even more was that the vast thunder Chen Zhuxiao initially obtained was also extraordinary. It was a weapon whose grade had fallen, but now, stimulated by prison breaker, it directly recovered to the Spirit Treasure level.

”The more one gains, the more one loses.” Yuan Feng stopped paying attention and began to close his eyes to rest.

According to the news released by the Qi Xuan Sect, their False Core Old Ancestor would personally refine a Magic Treasure, which was the main event.

As the other Spirit Treasures recognized their masters, the commotion and attention Chen Zhuxiao caused were divided into multiple parts, making him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to attract too much attention, to be noticed by those with ulterior motives, thereby implicating the Chen family.

Currently, his identity was tied to Su Qingyu, who also held the title of an Ascetic Disciple of the Red Dust Sect.

Because of this, both of them were bound to the behemoth that was the Red Dust Sect, and for now, no one foolish enough would set their sights on the Red Dust Sect.

But it’s better to be safe than sorry. If his true identity were exposed, it would not be a good thing for him or the Chen family... Until the Spirit Treasures had all recognized their masters, the Artifact Refiners in the arena all turned their gazes to Artifact Inscription at the head of the hall.

This Artifact Refining Grandmaster, the oldest and most skilled in Artifact Refining in the Qi Xuan Sect, opened his eyes, rose from his seat, and scanned all the Artifact Refiners present, like a fierce tiger patrolling its territory.

”Now that the Artifact Dao’s Luck has been stirred by fellow Daoists and gathered above Changli Commandery, it is the best time to refine a Magic Treasure.”

”I believe you all know that this old man will refine a Magic Treasure at this Artifact Refining Assembly, in pursuit of the Golden Core Dao.”

”Then, let this Artifact Refining Assembly reach an unprecedented peak in thousands of years!”

As his voice fell, the entire Changli Commandery City seemed to tremble. An indescribable sense of oppression appeared in the hearts of all Cultivators, even affecting the two False Core Cultivators.

Rumble!

Boundless black clouds gathered, with lightning and thunder flashing within. Countless bolts of lightning exploded, as if drawing from a Sea of Thunder, with lightning and electric light everywhere.

The Cultivators in Changli Commandery City felt as if a great disaster was imminent, as if some terrifying entity was descending from the void. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if encountering a natural predator.

Boom!

A deep purple lightning bolt streaked across a hundred thousand miles of sky, as if the Thunder God of the Nine Heavens was enraged. Countless branches of lightning and electric light filled the sky, forming a magnificent spectacle.

The two Spirit Treasure longswords that Chen Zhuxiao had stored in his immortal foundation Thunder Pool both shot out. One transformed into a Thunder Roc, and the other into a Thunder Falcon, landing on his left and right shoulders respectively, chirping about something unknown.

”Is this the might of an Immortal Artifact? It has caused such a terrifying anomaly even before its complete descent.”

Su Qingyu’s expression was solemn as she said in a deep voice, ”After all, it is an Immortal Artifact passed down from the Ancient Thunder Palace. Even if it is incomplete, its power remains, capable of activating the Thunderous Laws lingering between heaven and earth. It can suppress Golden Core True Monarchs and even make Nascent Soul Earth Immortals frown!”

The Ancient Thunder Palace, one of the most powerful forces in ancient times. Its founder, Thunder Ancestor, pushed the Thunder Dao to an unprecedented height, making even those on the Four Symbols dao positions wary of him.

It is said that this Thunder Ancestor had already stepped half a foot into a higher Realm, and the ancient cataclysm was suspected to have been caused by Thunder Ancestor and several other supreme powerhouses of this Realm in pursuit of a higher Realm.

The ancient era was the most glorious period in this Realm. Almost every dao position had a great being in place, and the cultivation atmosphere reached an unimaginable height.

Unfortunately, the ancient cataclysm erupted. Supreme powerhouses clashed, and Dao achievers dueled. A large number of powerhouses fell, numerous great forces perished, and many dao positions disappeared into the depths of heaven and earth.

From then on, the prosperous ancient era ended, entering the desolate medieval era. There were almost no occupants on the dao positions, and even Immortal Lords were rare.

It wasn’t until recent ancient times that this Realm gradually regained Life Qi, and the positions successively found new masters.

Therefore, for the Cultivators of their current age, there were still many dao positions in this Realm, making it a good time to contend for them.

”Zhu Xiao,” Su Qingyu looked at Chen Zhuxiao, revealing a shocking secret known only to a very small number of Cultivators, ”a Dao Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Dao once left a prophecy: when the Thunder Dao revitalizes and the Five Thunders all have masters, this Realm will usher in a true golden age, creating an unprecedented precedent!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuxiao’s heart trembled violently. The seven-foot Thunder Pool within him churned, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, covering the sky above his immortal foundation.

”Qingyu, did this Dao Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Dao leave a Daoist title?”

Su Qingyu rubbed her temples, as if having made up her mind. She didn’t hide it and directly said, ”That Dao Lord was called Daoist Heavenly Mystery!”

Rumble!

Another thunderous roar erupted. Bolt after bolt of lightning, stretching for unknown lengths, struck down, streaking across the boundless sky, as if gods and immortals were enraged, shaking the entire mortal world.

The Red Dust Tower Lord seemed to know some secrets. He gave Artifact Inscription a meaningful glance, then asked, ”Is it worth it?”

Artifact Inscription turned around, his robes fluttering, his white beard moving with the wind. His voice was sonorous and powerful, ”This is my last chance. There’s no ’worth it or not’ to speak of, only ’dare to do it’ and ’dare to challenge’!”

Yi Yu, who was nearby, also knew part of the content. His eyes were complex as he said faintly, ”Brother Artifact Inscription, the situation of the great being on the Artifact Dao position is unclear. Even that Artifact Refining Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly Work Pavilion, with an Immortal Lord’s protection, dares not seek that position. What you are doing is like pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth, seeking your own death.”

Artifact Inscription shook his head upon hearing this, chuckling, ”Someone always has to do such things. No matter how strong that great being on the Artifact Dao position is, can they be stronger than the Thunder Ancestor? Not to mention the Thunder Ancestor, even the various Thunder Dao Immortal Lords beneath the Thunder Ancestor have the strength and qualifications to suppress Him.”

”Brother Dao, I wish you success,” the Red Dust Tower Lord sighed.

Artifact Inscription looked at him, a blazing fire burning in his eyes, and shouted, ”Shen Tian, the matter between you and me is not over yet. When I achieve a Golden Core in the Artifact Dao, it will be time for Karma to be settled!”

”I’ll be waiting,” Shen Tian replied, his expression calm.

Rumble!

Artifact Inscription took a step, his figure soaring into the high heavens. His False Core level Qi completely bloomed, hanging in the sky like a sun. Intense Bing Fire transformed into fire dragons circling around him.

This False Core Old Ancestor of the Qi Xuan Sect was a Bing Fire Cultivator. The Golden Nature he consumed was the Bing Yang Scarlet Firmament Ghost Axe Golden Nature left by the Qi Xuan Sect’s founding Ancestral Master, a true Golden Core Essence, capable of rivaling the Red Dust Tower Lord.

”What is that?!” A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator pointed to the sky, his voice trembling.

Everyone looked up, their pupils contracting, as if they had witnessed a scene they would never forget in this life.

Yuan Feng also followed everyone’s gaze, his body shaking. Golden patterns appeared in his eyes as he fully activated his Illuminating Demon Eye, wanting to see more clearly.

”Is that... a great seal?!”
