Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Where did the noise come from?" Yuanji was startled and looked around for a long time before he stared into Jing Yu's eyes.

"You...you have someone in your head?"

"We are old acquaintances. You are familiar with Senior Yunding, right?" Jing Yu said unhappily.

"Yunding Tianjun! You are not dead?"

Yuanji suddenly understood and gave a thumbs-up. "Xuan Jing, what a trick! Back then, the so-called [Cloudtop Palace] was just a trap set by Cloudtop Heavenly Monarch to select bodies to possess... And you actually managed to resist the possession of Huashen Heavenly Monarch?"

"It was just luck." Jing Yu said with a smile, "Now that Senior Yunding and I have sworn a great oath to each other, you just need to be more careful with your words."

He was naturally hinting to Yuanji not to reveal the matter of the Immortal Selection Hall.

Yuanji was also a smart man, and he understood it immediately. He avoided this issue and answered Yunding Tianjun's question just now: "Let Tianjun know that I have a special method and can transform the power of the National Destiny Immortal Dynasty system into the power of the ancient monks."

Yunding Tianjun looked suspicious. "I've lived for thousands of years, but I've never heard of any deity or Buddha master in Futu Xianzhou possessing such abilities... What are your backgrounds?"

When passing away, one naturally smiles without saying a word.

"By the way, little monk, what is that [Jade Pestle] in your hand? Why do you treat my Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty's Divine Transformation Formation as nothing?"

Yuanji curled his lips and said, "It's just a magic weapon left to me by my elders to protect me. It's not worth mentioning."

Compared to Yunding Tianjun, Jing Yu was no less curious. Upon hearing this, he secretly asked:

"Where did that jade pestle come from? What's its origin?"

Yuanji clearly trusted Jing Yu immensely. He avoided Yunding Tianjun and spoke fluently, "This treasure is called the [Boundary-Splitting Jade Key], and it's an ancient spiritual artifact. Unlike ordinary ancient spiritual artifacts, the threshold for using this treasure is extremely low, and even a minor Qi cultivator can wield it with ease."

"No matter how powerful the forbidden formation is, I only need to touch it lightly with this jade key to drill a hole silently."

Yuanji laughed and said, "Let's not talk about the formations in the upper realms. At least in the lower realms like the Immortal Continent, I haven't encountered any formations that I can't break yet!"

"Ancient Spiritual Weapon!"

Jing Yu was startled. The small jade key before her was actually a treasure of the same rank as the [Small Demon Refining Pot], a treasure of the same rank only available to immortals from the upper realms...

"You bald thief, where did you steal these good things?" Jing Yu said with some envy.

Although he also has an ancient spiritual weapon, the [Small Demon Refining Pot], it has not yet reached the minimum conditions for use. He will have to wait until he reaches the Spirit Transformation Stage before he can unleash a trace of its power. By then, he will probably have already been invincible in the human world. What's the point of using the ancient spiritual weapon?

"Don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air." Yuanji and Jingyu had a very good relationship, so they naturally knew that he was just joking. He said:

"This item was given by [Pudu Buddha]. This jade key was originally a gift to me after I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. However, it seems that Buddha had something urgent to do and took away all the incarnations of the heavens and the myriad worlds. So he gave the treasure to me in advance."

Jing Yu said rather sourly, "You [Cihang Palace] also have Nascent Soul gifts? We are both from the Immortal Selection Palace, but we [Changsheng Palace] don't have such a custom."

"You don't have any?" Yuanji was stunned. "That shouldn't be the case! Before reincarnating into the lower realm, I received the [Newbie Gift Pack]. I received Buddha subsidies for Qi training, foundation building, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages. The Taoism in the upper realm is flourishing, much stronger than my Buddhism. Logically, they should be even richer and more powerful. There's no way they should be short of your subsidies."

As expected of a person born on Earth, Yuanji still retained many of his previous life's speaking habits, even saying something like "Newbie Gift Pack", which is extremely inappropriate in the world of cultivating immortals.

"You thief baldy, you're so dishonest! You told me before that you lacked spiritual resources for cultivation. How could you be lacking in spiritual resources now?"

Yuanji shook his head. "It's two different things. Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, they're still no match for a two-cent pancake when you're starving... Most of the treasures given by the Buddha are of terrifyingly high status. How could a mere Jindan cultivator like me dare to exchange them for ordinary spiritual resources?"

Jing Yu became more and more jealous. Jiu Ming Daojun adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the immortals chosen by the [Changsheng Hall]. Except for himself, a relative with a long life character, who was given a volume of [Kudu Sutra] and a [Knowing Destiny Treasure Mirror], the other nine people did not get anything at all and were sent to reincarnate.

What Jing Yu didn't know was that, according to the original plan, the protective treasures prepared for him by [Nine Lives Dao Lord] would be hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than the treasures given by the Buddhist sect to those who had attained nirvana. However, the subsidies after the Golden Core stage had been stopped by [Ten Thousand Longevity Dao Lord] on the grounds that he was forbidden from interfering with his subsequent path...

"By the way, Xuan Jing, you haven't told me yet why you came to Shendingtian." Yuanji asked.

Jing Yu shook his head. "Originally, I came here to rescue a close junior who had fallen into misfortune here. Now that's no longer necessary... I've come to witness the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty's lineage."

"By the way, help Senior Yunding find the backup plan he left in the cave and help him rebuild the ghost path."

Yunding Tianjun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Why, boy, you finally remembered the important matter?"

Yuanji pondered and said, "My true body is not in the cave now. This Jade Buddha's incarnation is not at a high level. Can Xuanjing help me snatch a [Provincial Governor Seal]? It will be of great use to me."

"Little monk, don't let your wishful thinking get you there. Within the Divine Cauldron Heaven, there are thirty-four states. As the source of the supernatural powers of a local official, there are only a limited number of [State Governor Seals]. If one is missing, it would be a major event. Even Yujing City would have to send a True Lord to investigate."

Yunding Tianjun sneered and said, "Give up on this idea."

"That would be a bit troublesome."

Yuanji said with a gloomy face, "To form a newborn, I need a huge amount of incense and vows. If I can't start with the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, do I have to go back to the Futu Immortal Continent and compete with those Yuanying Zen Monarchs and Transformation Buddha Lords for believers?"

"It's okay. We've been fellow Taoists for many years, so I'll help you with this little favor." Jing Yu held his chin and thought:

"If it's just a matter of snatching a [Provincial Governor's Seal], it's not too far-fetched..."

"You're bragging again, kid. A governor with the Governor's Seal is at least a legitimate Nascent Soul Stage warrior. What can a Golden Core Stage cultivator like you do?" Yunding Tianjun shook his head.

"Unless you help me switch to the ghost path... maybe I can recover to the Nascent Soul stage in a short time and help you."

Jing Yu, however, had his own plans. Although it was impossible for him to form a baby in a short period of time, the [Dragon Bone Relics] in his body was still being slowly refined by the [Ku Du Xuan Guang], causing his Ku Du body to be rapidly strengthened all the time.

He estimated that within a hundred years, it should be enough for the [Ku Du Treasure Body] to advance to the [Golden Body Realm] which is comparable to the Nascent Soul level. By then, he should be able to control the governor of a remote small state.
