Clearly, Tai Geng Divine Venerableās opinion still suggests Zhou Chun choose the latter.
And it must be said that upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun was also moved.
Zhou Chun had long heard of the power of the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure and had previously witnessed the heavenly might of the broken Sunscorch Divine Mirror.
To say heās not tempted is impossible.
If the Grand Universe Suppressing Spirit Tower can truly ascend to become a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure after his successful Divine Transformation, as Tai Geng Divine Venerable claims, then heās definitely hit the jackpot!
Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind and said, "In that case, please help with the refining of the Grand Universe Suppressing Spirit Tower, Senior Tai Geng!"
"A wise choice."
Tai Geng Divine Venerable nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his choice.
One must know that with Tai Geng Divine Venerableās artifact refinement skill, crafting ordinary Spiritual Treasures poses no difficulty and cannot advance his skills.
But ancient Spiritual Treasures like the Grand Universe Suppressing Spirit Tower are exceptions.
Such ancient treasures have strict material requirements; the difficulty in refining them might be uncertain, but to craft them truly relies heavily on chance.
Now, Zhou Chun is fortunate enough to provide the most important materials, and of course, he wants to replicate such ancient Spiritual Treasures.
Thus, after accepting the three materials Zhou Chun provided, he didnāt mention other materials needed for refining the Spiritual Treasure and directly said to Zhou Chun, "The refining of this treasure isnāt easy. I need to ponder this carefully, and it might take a decade or so to complete. Once successful, Iāll send it to you through my incarnation."
"I understand, everything is entrusted to Senior Tai Geng."
Zhou Chun nodded, having no objection to this.
Then, thinking about it, he cautiously asked Tai Geng Divine Venerable, "Senior Tai Geng, may I boldly ask about the rumors regarding Senior Yuanyang? Are they true or false?"
He had wanted to ask this upon meeting Tai Geng Divine Venerable but hadnāt found the right opportunity earlier.
Now that his request was fulfilled, he took the chance to ask.
Yet, seeing Tai Geng Divine Venerable hear this, he paused for a moment then shook his head and said, "This I cannot say for sure. Yuanyang had previously notified us to avoid contacting him and actively severed all ties!"
Having said this, he looked at Zhou Chun and continued, "I know you and Yuanyang had conflicts in the past, but thatās all history. Now you and your Zhou Family are doing well here, so thereās no need to bear grudges. Some things ought to be let go!"
"I havenāt had thoughts of revenge, itās just that the rumors spread wildly. Seeing Senior Tai Geng today, I mentioned it casually."
Zhou Chun softly defended himself, certainly not admitting any other intentions.
Fortunately, Tai Geng Divine Venerable didnāt pursue the matter deeply but told him, "In any case, prepare yourself. Before the Evil Qi disperses, those alien races are bound to counterattack. That will be the greatest test for our Human Clan!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chunās expression turned serious, responding solemnly, "Understood, I will be ready at all times!"
After the conversation, Tai Geng Divine Venerable left the Zhou family.
This trip was to head into the depths of the Sky Barbarian Plains to meet Nine Blades Barbarian Saint in an attempt to investigate the background of the Multi-Winged Clanās newly ascended Sixth Rank expert. Seeing Zhou Chun at the Zhou Family was merely on the way.
After the talk with Tai Geng Divine Venerable, Zhou Chun also gave Zhou Yuanxin a directive to have the Zhou Family Cultivators practice battle formation techniques collectively to familiarize themselves with large corps combat methods.
As for himself, he continued to steadily follow his original cultivation plan.
Nevertheless, Tai Geng Divine Venerableās words eventually affected him somewhat.
If a Fifth Rank Sacred Magus from the Multi-Winged Clan could succeed in Divine Transformation amid such circumstances, couldnāt he as well?
With the existence of the Purifying Heavenly Vessel, Zhou Chun isnāt as wary of the Evil Qi as others.
Even though the Essence Energy Tribulation would attract a great amount of Evil Qi into his body, he merely needs to fill the Purifying Heavenly Vessel in advance with Purifying World Holy Water to not fear the evil intrusion.
However, both Tai Geng Divine Venerable and Tianyi Divine Venerable mentioned the complete dispersal of Evil Qi would herald a tidal wave of natureās spiritual energy, making Divine Transformation attempts smoother, hence Zhou Chunās hesitation.
Of course, now itās premature to discuss such things. His most pressing task is to accumulate Mana to perfection to qualify for Divine Transformation attempts.
With a blink of an eye, fourteen years swiftly went by.
After waiting for fourteen years, Zhou Chun finally received Tai Geng Divine Venerableās incarnation.
"This is the Grand Universe Suppressing Spirit Tower. Since this treasure needs to be refined into your Lifebound Dharma Treasure, I havenāt allowed the Artifact Spirit to imbue foreign mana essence. After youāve refined it, let me see its true might!"
At Kunwu Peak, Tai Geng Divine Venerableās incarnation saw Zhou Chun and, without a word, raised his hand to retrieve the treasure and tossed it to him.
"Thank you, Senior Tai Geng, for this gift."
Zhou Chun expressed his gratitude and raised his hand to catch the treasure, carefully examining it.
The Grand Universe Suppressing Spirit Tower has seven layers in total, in bright yellow, with the towerās body adorned with reliefs of True Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Qilin, as well as sun, moon, stars designsāclearly indicating it is no ordinary item.
