Mysterious mirror hanging high

"It's really a good baby!"

Jing Yu shook his head. "This thing is only useful in the Divine Cauldron Heaven. In the modern world, it's too redundant to even be used as a table corner pad. It's even useless for Buddhists who need the power of incense and vows. If you don't master the secret method of transforming vows, the national destiny incense will be like poison to the ancient Buddhists."

"This is something Xuan Jing doesn't know."

Yun Xuance laughed and said, "The National Destiny Immortal Dynasty system isn't unique to the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty. There are actually a few scattered small immortal dynasties in the real world, but they're not powerful enough, so the current Heavenly Sovereigns don't bother to pay attention to them. They just wait for them to grow in power before destroying them."

"As a result, many secret methods of national destiny have been spread... Xuan Ce Sect has collected quite a few. Although this jade seal cannot bless cultivation in the real world, the incense and vows within it can be used as nourishment to activate the secret methods. If Xuan Jing is interested, he can go and take a look."

"Many of these secret techniques came from the Gongsun family."

"Oh?" Jing Yu's expression changed.

"You speculated that the Gongsun clan had some remaining direct descendants sent to the human world, and that's indeed the case," Yun Xuance said meaningfully. "Back then, the Gongsun clan's counterfeiting of the seal was driven by [Master Qi] Yang Dingfeng, who persuaded the Divine Transformation Heavenly Sovereigns of several major forces in Zhongzhou to accept the Gongsun clan..."

"It does grant an opportunity to attain divine enlightenment in this world... but it is only available to the orphans of the Gongsun family."

"Yang Dingfeng again!" Jing Yu laughed. "No wonder everyone is wary of Master Qi. I feel like most of the conspiracies and schemes in the Immortal Continent are related to him..."

Yun Xuance chuckled and said, "Back when True Lord Qi was still in the demonic realm, he was already known as the 'Poison Master,' and indeed plotted many dark secrets... Even after the Gongsun clan stole the seal, it was True Lord Qi who took the enormous risk and personally infiltrated Divine Cauldron Heaven to bring the Gongsun clan's only direct descendant back to the mortal world."

"Who is this orphan?" Jing Yu asked curiously, and then added, "The identity of this orphan of the Gongsun family is probably a great secret, and Qi Zhenjun and the other Heavenly Monarchs may not reveal it."

"Of course, but Xuan Jing, don't forget that [Tianming Tower] is now a top-notch intelligence organization throughout the Xianzhou world. We have actually heard some clues about this matter..."

"You will never guess the identity of this orphan of the Gongsun family."

Jing Yu shook his head: "Master, please don't keep me in suspense."

Yun Xuance said, "This person is none other than the contemporary Daoist Master of Liangyi Temple... Xuanweizi!"

"What? He actually came from one of the eight great families of the Divine Cauldron Dynasty?" Jing Yu said in astonishment, "Who could have guessed that the disciple of Liangyi Temple would be a so-called remnant of the Divine Cauldron?"

"The waters of Zhongzhou are quite deep, and there are many geniuses with powerful backgrounds."

Yun Xuance said leisurely, "Speaking of geniuses... Over the past year, the two Daoists from Liangyi Temple and Juntian Temple, Yan Guiluan from Xuanyin Pavilion, and Qi Baisheng and Xu Baiwei from Songfeng Pavilion have all chosen to practice in seclusion."

"Some of them have just emerged from [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] and are about to digest the opportunities within. Others, although they haven't yet entered the immortal cave, the next [Penglai Gathering] is not until one hundred and eighty-eight years from now, so they naturally can't wait any longer. I think they're all preparing to start preparing for the formation of their infants."

"I see that your cultivation has reached the late stage of the Golden Core. I think it will only take a few decades to hone your cultivation to the perfection of the Golden Core. It's time to consider forming a newborn!"

Jing Yu nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking... I've been traveling for the past few years, firstly to collect the secret method of forming a baby, and secondly to accumulate spiritual resources for forming a baby. Now everything is ready, except for the technique. I'm taking advantage of this rare period of stability to practice in seclusion. As for forming a baby... I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years."

"That's all right." Ye Xingyun said with a smile, "You're not even two hundred and fifty years old now, are you? That's considered extremely young. Most Golden and Purple Prodigies form their Infant stage after the age of three hundred and fifty. Even if you can rest for another hundred years, it's still in time."

"Back then, in order to cultivate an extremely powerful magical power as my innate magical power, I delayed my formation until I was five hundred years old. At that time, I was ridiculed by all the immortals in the East China Sea."

"But even if he forms a Nascent Soul at 500 years old, what's the problem? A Golden Core lasts for 800 years, so it's considered a minor immortality. For an ordinary cultivator, it would be a good thing if he could form a Nascent Soul before his lifespan runs out!"

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone in the Immortal Selection Hall, Jing Yu said goodbye and left, returning to the cave on the Dipan Peak.

But Zhao Yuankong had already changed into a short robe, and was holding several spiritual bamboos as thick as an adult's arm under his armpits. He was building a bamboo hut next to the courtyard where Jing Yu usually practiced. When he saw Jing Yu, he hurriedly bowed to him.

Guan Lingxiao sat cross-legged on a large bluestone beside a clear pool in front of the cave, breathing in and out his spiritual energy. Tiny whirlwinds rose around him, and his spiritual pressure increased visibly!

"Master!" Guan Lingxiao's poor eyesight made his hearing much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Jing Yu did not deliberately conceal it, so he sensed Jing Yu approaching, slowly stopped his practice, jumped down from the bluestone, and bowed.

"Although this place is not as good as the Shenhua Daochang of One Mountain, Two Temples, and Three Pavilions, it is also one of the most precious places for cultivation in Zhongzhou. It is so rich in spiritual energy that it is more than enough to support the cultivation of Yuanying Zhenjun. When you cultivate here, you should pay attention to laying a solid foundation and don't pursue speed too much."

Jing Yu said gently, "I've spared no effort this time to heal your eyes... The cataract in your eyes is a result of facing the light of Qiu Dongxuan's magical power when you were young. It's actually not difficult to treat. I've prepared a spiritual water for you. You only need to wash your eyes with it every day, and you should be able to recover in about a year."

Guan Lingxiao hesitated for a moment and said respectfully, "Master, Lingxiao is not planning to treat the eye disease."

"Hmm?" Jing Yu hadn't expected Guan Lingxiao to say that. He said, "Eyes are extremely important to a swordsman. If you can't even see clearly, how can you control a sword?"

Guan Lingxiao then slowly said, "Although Lingxiao can't see clearly, it's a blessing in disguise. His other senses have become more acute. Over the years, his ability to locate objects by sound has greatly improved. He has already developed a unique swordsmanship system."

"Besides, after a cultivator builds his immortal foundation, he can open up his sea of ​​consciousness. Normally, he can use his divine sense to scan things, and the clarity of his observations will be hundreds or thousands of times greater than with his naked eyes. At that time, eyesight will become even less important."

Guan Lingxiao whispered, "Lingxiao...wants to keep this eye disease."

Jing Yu sighed slightly: "Okay, if that's the case, I won't force it."

Then he continued, "I see that you definitely want to follow the path of sword cultivation, but you can't do without a good sword. A pure sword cultivator must be extremely careful in choosing a sword, after all, it will be with you for the rest of your life. Your master will give you a few options."
