623: Chapter 608: The Domain Rulerâs Crown Prince 623: Chapter 608: The Domain Rulerâs Crown Prince âWhat are you guysâŠ
doing?â
Yuan said to the densely packed crowd of Nascent Soul Monks around him, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.
âTeacher Yuan, we want to see Immortal Techniques!â
Seizing the opportunity, Immortal Dinghai, the president of Qingfeng University, was the first to reply.
This scene was strikingly similar to that of little kids in an elementary school classroom answering what one plus one equals.
The surrounding Nascent Soul Monks who were a step slower wore looks of regret on their faces.
Indeed, that was the fact of the matter.
Most of these Nascent Souls, like Immortal Dinghai, had grown up under the guidance of Yuan and others.
In front of them, many Nascent Soul Monks still maintained a âchildishâ demeanor, like cubs who had never left their motherâs side.
A thousand years of experience could not change the emotions formed in their early years.
âImmortal Techniques?â
Yuan wondered, âDidnât it say up there that only Nascent Soul Cultivators can comprehend it?
Your realms arenât quite sufficient, and youâll get tainted by the Immortal Techniques.â
âThese are just secondary derivatives of Immortal Techniques.
If it were truly Immortal Techniques, even us old folks couldnât bear it.
Itâs very dangerous.â
The surrounding Nascent Soul Monks exchanged glances, and quickly, one of them got a Jade Slip from Immortal Shuling, the president of the Xianmen Science Institute, and handed it over.
âTeacher Yuan,â
Immortal Dinghai explained, âAfter ourâŠ
tens of thousands of people for over a year of relentless research, experimentation, and speculation, we designed a plan.
If we have a Nascent Soul Cultivator with us, plus treasures made from Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold, it might be possible to take three people in for safe comprehension.â
âDivine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch also said thereâs a significant possibility, that itâs not preposterous,â he quickly added.
âSo soon?â
Yuan was shocked and a bit skeptical, âDonât mess around, okay?
Immortal Techniques are really dangerous.â
In just one yearâs time, not enough for a Nascent Soul Monk to cultivate a full Zhou Tian cycle, these rascals had actually managed to come up with something, which seemed rather unlikely.
âItâs absolutely true!â
âYou have to believe us!â
Immortal Dinghai and a group of Nascent Souls swore to the sky in earnest.
âDivine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch really approved our project, donât doubt us; weâre not bragging.â
âLet me have a lookâŠâ
Yuan took the Jade Slip from them and began to read through it carefully.
Immortal Dinghai and the others didnât dare to breathe too loudly, their hearts fluttering with uncertainty as they stole glances at his expression, obviously not as confident as they claimed to be.
But this was Immortal Techniques!
Immortal Techniques!
Immortal!
What do Cultivators seek when they journey on the path, risking life and death, after making countless sacrifices?
What is it that they yearn for?
To attain Dao and become Immortal, to achieve eternal life.
Now, such a grand and boundless goal lay right before them, and they werenât prepared to die without witnessing it for themselves.
If it meant getting possessed by an Internal Demon, then so be it.
They were utterly fearless.
âThe two hundred and thirty-seventh Formation Method node looks a bit sloppy.â Yuan noticed a spot and casually commented, âDinghai, is this your handiwork?
Itâs as hasty as when you were in school.â
Immortal Dinghai could only offer a sheepish smile.
âThe nine hundred seventieth Formation Method nodeâŠ
Danxia, youâve done it again, mixing up left and right in the universe, an old issue for many yearsâŠâ
âThe one thousand eighty-seventh magic structureâŠ
Tongguang, youâŠâ
Yuan pointed out the shielding formation in the Jade Slip, offering offhand critiques.
He didnât need to ask; he could tell at a glance who did what and provided evaluations for each.
At each word, several of the surrounding Nascent Soul Monks bowed their heads or guiltily looked away.
As the critique went on, a group of arrogant and self-assured Nascent Soul Monks had turned into silent quails, too scared to speak, filled with despair.
âHowever,â
Yuan revealed a mischievous smile, and with a shift in tone, said, âThe overall idea is feasible.
If you correct these flaws, and I help you craft some Fifth Order Primordial Spirit Treasures for protection and shielding, it might work.
But a Divinity Transformation Cultivator can only take two Nascent Soul Monks at most.â
âYay!â
â`
âAh!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!â
âYuan Teacher!â
Immortal Dinghai and the other Nascent Soul Monks were ecstatic, cheering and jumping for joy, nearly throwing themselves at him for a kissâand indeed, a large number of Nascent Soul Monks were actually throwing themselves at him, overwhelmed with excitement.
âStop!â
With a casual flick, Yuan immobilized the overexcited Nascent Soul Monks and then said, âWatch your drool.
Once the Primordial Spirit Treasure is successfully refined, we old folks will conveniently take you inside with us, three days at a time.
As for the order, itâll be random, but every registered Nascent Soul Monk will have a chance.â
âThatâs the plan this time.â
âNext time, youâll need relevant library points.
Yes, just library points.
Recently, the Xianmen Sectâs library points are in great shortage.
Do you understand?â
âUnderstood!â
âTeacher, understood!â
Immortal Dinghai and the others responded in loud, unified voices.
âAlright, one by one, youâve all asked for leaveâdo you still have work to do?
You canât have just your avatars working; that wonât do.
Hurry back or Iâll dock your performance!â
Yuan reprimanded.
âFine then.â
âOh.â
Immortal Dinghai, Immortal Luling, and the others, with drooping faces, reluctantly agreed and walked away from the Golden Palace, looking back three steps at a time and clearly reluctant to leave.
After they left, Yuan quickly stepped forward, pushing through the crowd to move further inside, puffing his chest and glaring.
âExcuse me, excuse me, my turn now.â
âYou all have had long enough!â
âItâs my turn now!â
His strength was immense, and the Divinity Transformation Cultivators around him were pushed to the side.
âYuan!â
Canghai Heavenly Monarch complained, âIf youâre late, youâre lateâwhat does that have to do with us?
Go to the back and line up.â
âYeah, exactly, have some shame.â
âStay away from me!â
The surrounding Cultivators echoed with indignation.
âDonât be so stingy.â
Yuan, not embarrassed in the slightestâas if he hadnât heard anythingâpushed through the people to reach the front, where he focused intently on the painting at the center of the palace, sealed by layers of Formation Method.
In the sunsetâs golden light, a beauty bathed, the lake surface shimmered.
A simple scene, yet in Divine Sense, it broke down into countless roads of Gold Dao, traces of the Dao of Cause and Effect, all sorts of thoughts and structuresâall unspeakably profound and roads never considered before.
ââŠ
GoldâŠ
Cause and EffectâŠâ
Just one glance stirred Yuanâs excitement, his body began to tremble, not showing the steadiness others saw in him: âThis is a road that leads to heaven, itâll push Xianmen Sectâs Void Refining Path forward at least three thousand years!â
âEh, the structure of this Five Elements Gold is incorrect, it shouldnât be like thisâŠâ
âWhy would Cause and Effect be like this?
Itâs complete nonsense!
No logic!â
âIs this nonsensical talk?
Too chaotic.â
âHow can it beâŠâ
Soon he started frowning, caught in excruciating pain as if his fundamental beliefs had been overturned.
Mana within him began to stir wildly, and waves of spiritual turmoil arose in the sea of his Divine Soul.
The surrounding Cultivators had similar reactions; many faces showed ferocious expressions, overflowing with killing intent, and the atmosphere in the Golden Palace was chilly as amusement.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Around them, several mountain-sized ancient bronze bells tolled, sending out waves of sound that cleansed Internal Demons and reshaped the Divine Soul.
The pained and bewildered look in Yuan and the other Cultivatorsâ eyes instantly cleared.
âWhat is thisâŠâ
They exchanged looks, each seeing the shock in the otherâs eyes, feeling a chill in their hearts.
âThis is still under the protection of layer upon layer of Formation Methods!â
âHeâŠ
Heâs too powerful.â
Canghai Heavenly Monarch, filled with disbelief, muttered to himself, âI suspect he already possesses a fraction of the essence of Refining Nothingness, otherwise, his Divine Soul would have been tainted the instant he touched the painting, not like now, still lively and kicking.â
âSo this is the Crown Prince, the Domain Ruler?â
