Chapter 576: Chapter 463: Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman

"If this old man is not mistaken, judging by the Void Spirit Pattern restriction on it, this talisman should be the legendary ’Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman,’" Qingyang the Old Demon said with unprecedented seriousness.

"Ah? So what is it for?" Heaven-Devouring Rat asked with interest.

"Strictly speaking, this ancient talisman is not a one-time consumable talisman. As long as conditions allow, by nourishing and replenishing its spirituality, it can be used continually."

"Its rank naturally surpasses Tier Four, inheriting from the Spirit Realm. It’s a treasure akin to a ’Realm-Breaking Talisman.’"

"This old man hasn’t used it before, just happened to have heard of it by chance."

"The ’Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman’ has two most important functions: one, similar to the Descent Talisman, allows cultivators to traverse the Void Passage safely to other minor realms."

"However, this talisman, both in rank and efficacy, is incomparable to the Descent Talisman."

"The second function is that it can leave a Void Coordinate on an object, allowing one to sense the other’s every move and share perspectives, hence the name ’Marvelous Response True Talisman.’

"It seems to be used by major forces in the Spirit Realm to monitor subordinate minor realms."

After listening to Qingyang the Old Demon’s explanation, Qin Ming and Heaven-Devouring Rat were both stunned on the spot.

"An ancient talisman inherited from the Spirit Realm!!"

Heaven-Devouring Rat was even more excited, laughing triumphantly and boasting, "Master, didn’t I do a great job?"

Qin Ming patted its shoulder, "Yes, you’ve accomplished something great!"

"Friend Qin, if you successfully repair this damaged talisman in the future and then gather another rare item, you might have unexpected gains, haha!" Qingyang the Old Demon said with a wicked smile.

Qin Ming asked, "What else do I need?"

"It’s a spiritual material called ’Profound Crystal,’ but it’s extremely rare, even within the entire Human Realm it’s scarce."

"Originally, there were a few pieces stored in our Cyan Origin Sect, but it’s been too long, and I’m not sure if they are still there." Qingyang the Old Demon reminisced and said quietly.

"Of course, it seems that Top-Grade Spirit Stones could also work, but such items are all controlled by Divinity Transformation Cultivators, which you probably won’t be able to obtain easily."

After hearing his explanation, Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask, "Honestly speaking, Qingyang the Old Demon, you know so much about the Upper Realm, even about Spirit Realm objects, as if you treasure them.’

"I’m afraid your identity is not merely as an elder of the Cyan Origin Sect, right?"

"Can you confide in Qin about some details?"

Qingyang the Old Demon was hit at a sore point by Qin Ming’s question, sinking into a moment of silence before stammering:

"Friend Qin, rest assured, this old man will definitely not harm you, especially since my life now rests in your hands, we’re on the same boat."

"Knowing too much about some things is not beneficial to you, better to focus your energy on improving your cultivation realm, at least until the Late-stage Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation Stage, to be qualified to know some of these secret matters."

Seeing his response, a typical avoidance, Qin Ming estimated there were things Qingyang the Old Demon couldn’t say, so he didn’t make it difficult for him.

At least now he understood the purpose and origin of this talisman.

Dragon Abyss Island, inside Moon Embrace Pavilion Restaurant.

Cold Crow Ascendant, True Monarch Dragon Wood, Duke Xia Yuan, and Master Longyang, among others, had already reserved the entire fourth floor.

Each person rose to greet Qin Ming upon his arrival.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is here."

Qin Ming responded with a return salute to each of them.

Each of them saw Qin Ming being summoned alone by Supreme Yang Ascendant, their hearts were filled with curiosity.

Cold Crow Ascendant leaned closer, the gossip curiosity evident, asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, what did Supreme Yang Ascendant want when he summoned you alone?"

"Not to hide, Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang entrusted Qin with an incredibly important task... it’s a strict secret..." Qin Ming feigned profoundness, replied mysteriously.

Cold Crow Ascendant immediately showed respect!

He really believed it.

"Fellow Daoist Qin’s Spirit Plant Alchemy Dao mastery is unparalleled... it greatly impresses this humble one."

Soon after, Qin Ming sat down and gathered with fellow cultivators for a small exchange.

...

...

Two more days passed.

Under overwhelming enthusiasm, Qin Ming followed two Nascent Souls from Penglai Sect to watch the disciples’ contests.

During this period, most of the Nascent Soul Cultivators on Dragon Abyss Island had left.

However, half of the cultivators remained, after all, concerning their own students and descendants, they had to pay attention.

Only a few stayed on the island to lead their disciples back.

Qin Ming also watched several battles among Golden Core cultivators, although there were some noteworthy moments, he wasn’t particularly interested.

However, what surprised Qin Ming was that despite the Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly running for so long, those Demonic Cultivators still didn’t make a move.

The Shrimp Soldier and Crab General marked with his Divine Soul Mark also showed no signs of movement.

It seemed they had become silent.

Qin Ming’s purpose for this trip had been achieved and greatly exceeded expectations.

He was also ready to leave and return to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

Heaven-Devouring Rat was also preparing to face its tribulation.

Cold Crow Ascendant intended to return to Great Jin, traveling with Qin Ming as they were on the same path, providing mutual support.

The circular plaza on Dragon Abyss Island occasionally erupted with applause.

With the enticing rewards of the Golden Core Formation Pill and Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators were trying their best, fighting fiercely.

However, what stunned Qin Ming was that the Golden Core late-stage cultivator Liu Yu, whom he had seen at the Nascent Soul Exchange Conference, also appeared on the contest stage.

He fought his way through, reaching the top ten in the martial contest.

This person was favored by Supreme Yang Ascendant, but by the looks of it, all resources had to be fought for by himself.

After all, the path of cultivation is like paddling upstream; you must forge ahead, or fall behind.

On this day.

Qin Ming called upon Hua Tianxiong, preparing to leave Dragon Abyss Island.

He had little interest in watching the subsequent top ten battle.

If not for owing Supreme Yang Ascendant a favor, he would have left long ago.

Hua Tianxiong also gathered plenty of good items during this event.

Although he couldn’t acquire more Cyan Sky Spirit Soil, he did manage to gather several East Sea specialty spiritual objects.

He also took the opportunity to promote his Thousand Mechanism Pavilion a bit.

Qin Ming and Hua Tianxiong strolled along the outer streets.

Casually wandering.

At this moment, the street ahead was crowded, blocking their path.

"Master, I’ll disperse them." Hua Tianxiong immediately offered, puffing his swollen belly.

Qin Ming waved his hand and stopped him.

Because among the few who were causing trouble ahead, one was a person he had seen before.

It was the Confucian Cultivator Liu Yu, who was confronting several cultivators in front of him.

"Hmph! Liu Yu, isn’t this unreasonable? This is bullying with power, isn’t it?"

"Since you accepted Brother Guan’s Spirit Stones, you should hand over that Golden Palace Script Page."

On the other side, three cultivators wore Ancient Sword Sect attire, one of the four Nascent Soul influences in the East Sea, preventing him from leaving.

Usually, a person like Liu Yu, favored by Nascent Soul Cultivators, would not be provoked.

But now, during the peak of the Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly martial contest for contention.

As Qin Ming understood, next Liu Yu faced the Ancient Sword Sect’s prodigy.

Beside Liu Yu stood a beautiful woman, seemingly his Dao companion, but only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. At this moment, she timidly said as if she’d done something wrong:

"It’s not my husband’s fault, it’s me who took the wrong book and included this page in the transaction."

"Hmph! Liu Yu! We all know you are favored by Supreme Yang True Monarch. Are you planning to cheat?" the Ancient Sword Sect Golden Core cultivator justified, appearing extremely bold.

Liu Yu looked troubled, bit his lip, and said, "Three fellow daoists, this Golden Palace Script Page is not included in this book. Liu Yu is willing to return double the Spirit Stones."

"No way, if you insist, you’ll have to come with us to the Law Enforcement Hall to settle this." The Ancient Sword Sect Golden Core cultivator did not back down.

Because their goal was achieved like this.

If Liu Yu couldn’t get on stage, then their Ancient Sword Sect would naturally win the Immortal Mansion contest without resistance.

But the next moment.

Qin Ming’s Divine Thought quietly focused on that Golden Palace Script Page.
