Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

65: Chapter 65 Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure - Haotian Realm!Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm, Taiyi Dao Sect.

Ever since Gu Yan obtained that Heaven-Defying item, the chaos green lotus phantom dao seed, no other good things had appeared in recent years.

The top-tier red trait, ”immortal lord fuzhe - red”, seemed to have entered a period of stable output.

There were no more shocking gifts; whenever it triggered annually, it was mostly ordinary Magic Treasures that were of decent quality but hardly rare.

To the current Gu Yan, these items were already like chicken ribs—tasteless to keep, but a pity to throw away.

He casually gifted them to Old Chen.

And to his close Senior Sister, Lin Wei.

It could be considered making the best use of them.

After all, the trait had provided him with many cultivation techniques and insights on Artifact Refining over the years.

He could already forge Magic Treasures of this level himself.

While external items were mediocre, his internal cultivation was progressing astonishingly.

The Spiritual Qi in the Taiyi Dao Sect was becoming increasingly dense.

As the most direct carrier and beneficiary of the source, the chaos green lotus phantom dao seed, Gu Yan was at the core, and every breath he took was essence.

Coupled with the profound Great Five Elements Reincarnation True Scripture he cultivated.

With the two combined, his cultivation was truly improving steadily, one level per year.

From the Soul Transformation Fifth Level two years ago, to today, he had naturally stepped into the Soul Transformation Seventh Level.

Such speed, if spread to the Spirit Realm, would be enough to make those so-called prodigies speechless.

On this day, Gu Yan was cultivating in the quiet room of his Immortal Cave.

The annual gift time of immortal lord fuzhe arrived once again.

【Trait ”immortal lord fuzhe - red” effect triggered, you have obtained ”highest grade innate spirit treasure · haotian mirror”】

【”highest grade innate spirit treasure · haotian mirror”: Based on a wisp of Innate Yin and Yang dao rhyme from the initial division of Grandmist, refined by harvesting the Nine Heavens Clear Qi, Nine Nether Profound Splendor, fusing the starlight of the universe, and the spiritual essence of all things. It can observe the Nine Heavens Immortal Palaces above, and illuminate the Nine Nether Yellow Springs below. All things in the heavens, as long as they exist within Karma and appear within the rules, their appearance, cultivation depth, karmic entanglement, and good and evil Luck can all be manifested in the mirror, with nowhere to hide.】

【Core power: Severing Past Karma · Predicting the Future: Can trace past events and also deduce opportunities for future changes. Although heavenly secrets are unpredictable, it can illuminate many possibilities. Breaking Illusions and Revealing Truth: All falsehoods, illusions, and disguises return to their original form under the mirror’s light. Haotian Barrier: When deployed, it forms an absolute defensive Domain, capable of resisting all Divine Ability attacks below the Immortal Emperor realm, and reflecting thirty percent of the damage. Inter-world Teleportation: The mirror contains an infinite space coordinate, capable of ignoring world barrier Restrictions, freely traveling between the Spirit Realm, Immortal Realm, Human Realm, Earth Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, and other heavens and myriads of worlds. Ruling Heavenly Punishment: Reflecting the enemy, one can see their Karma and trigger Heavenly Dao punishment, bringing down calamities such as lightning fire, soul-destroying, and falling into evil.】

Even though Gu Yan’s Dao Heart had long been tempered to be as steady as a mountain, and he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

At this moment, receiving the flood of information about this haotian mirror, he only felt his scalp tingle.

He almost blurted out that classic exclamation from before his Transmigration— ”Holy shit!”

highest grade innate spirit treasure! haotian mirror!

It was not Acquired, but an Innate object nurtured by heaven and earth!

A Magic Treasure of this grade, let alone in this Mortal Realm, even in the Spirit Realm, would be enough to cause a monstrous bloodbath.

And its completeness of function, the power of its might, made Gu Yan’s heart sway even more.

”This is no Spirit Treasure... this is simply... a universal cheat, an ultimate strategic platform!”

Gu Yan was shocked beyond words, and an uncontrollable surprise welled up in his heart.

Awesome. This feeling of getting a god-tier set in one step, graduating directly, was simply the best feeling ever!

His mind stirred slightly.

The haotian mirror appeared before his eyes.

Along with it came an indescribable ancient aura.

The next moment, something even more surprising happened to Gu Yan.

This haotian mirror, which was enough to make immortals and gods go crazy, actually turned into a clear stream without any obstruction and merged into the space between his eyebrows.

Did it recognize its master directly?

Gu Yan was slightly stunned, and then a realization emerged.

This was one of the hidden effects of the immortal lord fuzhe trait.

All treasures obtained through the trait that possessed a ’spirit’ would complete master-recognition binding at the moment of being granted.

After all, for a Spirit Treasure like the haotian mirror, its spirituality was stronger than one could imagine.

By conventional logic, with Gu Yan’s Soul Transformation cultivation, let alone refining it, he would probably be injured by the dao rhyme it naturally radiated the moment they met.

Even if it didn’t want to, it wouldn’t be strange for it to break through the air and fly away on its own.

”As expected of a top-tier red trait, the consideration is truly thoughtful.”

Gu Yan sighed again. The priority and convenience of the immortal lord fuzhe trait’s effects were truly beyond imagination.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gu Yan sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.

He began to carefully comprehend this newly Acquired treasure.

Among the many functions, the ability to predict the future was what he was most curious about.

The future was shrouded in mist, and if he could catch a glimpse of the opportunity, he would have the initiative in everything.

He concentrated his mind and energy, slowly pouring spiritual power and Divine Thought into the haotian mirror.

The misty luster of the mirror surface began to circulate, as if the river of time was being gently stirred.

”With my current Soul Transformation Seventh Level cultivation, supplemented by the haotian mirror, how far can I see?”

Gu Yan’s mind was set. The light and shadow in the mirror changed rapidly, and countless blurred images, fragmented lines, and flickering fragments flowed rapidly.

That was the intersection and collision of infinite possibilities in the future.

With his current cultivation and the initial drive of the haotian mirror, the time span he could clearly anchor and observe was about five hundred years.

Any further, the picture would be too chaotic, the information would be seriously distorted, and it would be difficult to believe.

He focused his observation on the Mortal Realm where he was located.

The mirror’s luster stabilized, and a clear picture slowly unfolded.

About a year later.

The sky deep in the Endless Sea Region was suddenly torn open by several scarlet cracks.

Thick blood-evil Devilish Qi rolled down.

Several figures with fierce auras, dressed in mysterious black devil robes, descended with cackling laughter.

Their goal was clear, heading straight for the densely populated Mortal islands and continents.

Obviously, they were going to carry out blood sacrifices and slaughter to harvest raw soul Materials.

However, before many Devil Heads could start harvesting, Gu Yan’s good body, Fang Yuan, had already sensed that something was wrong.

After the two sides met, Fang Yuan didn’t have many fancy moves.

With a few casual strikes, the Devilish Qi that was enough to pollute mountains and rivers dissipated upon contact.

Within a moment, these Golden Core old devils who had descended were physically transcended by Fang Yuan.

The crisis was resolved invisibly, and the Mortal Realm wasn’t even affected much.

The images in the mirror continued to evolve.

Although the Devil Heads were destroyed, the Spirit Realm constantly sent investigation teams to start probing and spying.

They wanted to figure out what kind of secret was hidden here.

For a time, this small Mortal Realm was surging with undercurrents and was quite uneasy.

Gu Yan frowned.

Although with his ability, plus the foundation of the Taiyi Dao Sect, he was not afraid of these probes, being surrounded by flies all day was also very annoying.

He didn’t like this kind of passive, unexpected attention.

Moreover, why would Devil Heads descend to this world?

Isn’t this world managed by the Azure Wave Sect?

With a thought, the haotian mirror’s ability switched from predicting the future to tracing the past.

He wanted to see how the root of all this trouble was planted.

The mirror’s light flowed backwards, and time retraced.

The image locked onto the Azure Wave Sect in the Spirit Realm.

The time point was before the Devil Heads descended.

Gu Yan saw the insidious design of the Azure Wave Sect’s Vice Sect Master.

He saw how the two Late Nascent Soul Stage Grand Elders of the Azure Wave Sect, Supreme Elder Qing Xu and Supreme Elder Xuan Yun, were lured by the false news of an ancient Immortal Cave and went to the Dragon Fall Abyss.

He saw the ”Three Talents Soul-Locking Heaven-Extinguishing Array” laid out in advance by the Sect Master of Demon Blade Sect, Wan Tuoxiao, and the two Grand Elders.

He saw how the two Elders fell into the siege, fought hard but couldn’t hold on, and eventually fell sadly.

He also saw the Azure Wave Sect’s high-level management being gradually purged and replaced by the shadows of the Demon Blade Sect.

The entire Sect changed its allegiance silently.

”So the root is here, the Azure Wave Sect has been replaced.”

Gu Yan realized, but then doubts arose.

”Wait, isn’t my evil body, Ghost Soul, currently lurking in the Azure Wave Sect?”

”With his cultivation, even if he couldn’t defeat the Demon Blade Sect’s full strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to at least detect it in advance, warn, or even interfere and destroy this plan, right?”

”Why does the future in the mirror show that he did nothing and let the event develop?”

Gu Yan activated the haotian mirror again. This time, he pointed the target of the trace directly at his own evil body Incarnation, Ghost Soul.

The mirror light flowed.

It turned out that during the critical period when the undercurrents were surging in the Azure Wave Sect and the Demon Blade Sect’s plan was being promoted intensively.

This guy Ghost Soul... was busy with something he thought was equally important to the main body’s grand cause.

Catching some unique small animals for the backyard garden of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

In the thinking of Ghost Soul’s professional spirit, how could the main body’s dojo only have ordinary cranes and spirit deer?

One Blue Dragon was not enough.

It was necessary to add millions of rare and exotic beasts to show the scale!

So, he heard that there was a nest of Yin and Yang Phantom Light Sables somewhere in the Spirit Realm. The cubs were cute, and after growing up, they could swallow and spit out phantom light, which was quite useful.

He went to catch them with great interest.

As a result... he accidentally triggered an extremely hidden ancient Restriction.

That Restriction didn’t have much lethality, but it was an extremely complex and troublesome space-time maze.

Ghost Soul was caught in it without noticing for a moment. Although he had no life danger for the time being due to his cultivation.

But he was like trapped in a super maze with no exit.

It was difficult to get out in a short time.

”... Trapped in a Secret Realm because he was catching small animals?”

Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel speechless at this moment, black lines seemed to hang down from his forehead.

Up to this point, the cause and effect were completely clear.

Because of Ghost Soul’s unexpected absence, the two Azure Wave Sect Elders fell, and the Sect changed hands.

The Demon Blade Sect was able to send Elders to the Mortal Realm without obstruction, which then triggered a series of subsequent chain reactions.

And now, all of this was just a possibility of the future and hadn’t really happened yet.

There was still nearly a year before the two Azure Wave Sect Elders were lured out of the Sect.

There was still a year before the Devil Heads descended.

Gu Yan stroked the haotian mirror floating in his Sea of Consciousness. The mirror surface was icy, but it made his heart clear.

The future was not set in stone.

Especially since he had already insighted the key nodes in advance.

What the haotian mirror deduced was the timeline with the highest probability based on all current conditions and all characters developing along their existing trajectories.

But as long as new variables intervene.

Especially the intervention of an existence like Gu Yan who had grasped the opportunity.

And possessed the power to change, the future would shift accordingly.

Gu Yan’s mind raced, quickly weighing.

The simplest way was to let Ghost Soul stay in the Sect with peace of mind.

And then, when the two Azure Wave Sect Grand Elders were lured to the Dragon Fall Abyss, he would secretly go with them.

Even help them counter-kill the main force of the Demon Blade Sect.

The reason for choosing this intervention path was the better solution Gu Yan derived after a brief deduction through the haotian mirror.

Preserving the core combat power and orthodoxy of the Azure Wave Sect, allowing it to clear its own doors internally.

It could extinguish the source of the Demon Blade Sect’s descent.

And it could avoid the wider range of shocks and investigations in the Spirit Realm that might be caused by the destruction or change of the Azure Wave Sect.
