MTLNOVEL Chapter 507: Mystic Sky Immortal Residence
The demise of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance quickly spread across the world, causing a huge sensation.
As the second-ranking sect in Qing Province, the sudden disappearance of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance naturally drew significant attention.
In the midst of all this, Su Jie's name once again shook the world.
First, cooperating with Fire Cloud Palace to attack the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, then teaming up with the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance to combat Fire Cloud Palace, showcasing repeated and skillful maneuvers that led to the destruction of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and leaving Fire Cloud Palace half crippled, showcasing the wickedness of Demon Cultivation to the fullest.
Fortunately, Su Jie is a Demon Cultivator and doesn't care about the world's criticisms.
If it were the Righteous sect, such behavior would have long been drowned in the world's contempt.
...
"My husband, what are you still looking at?"
In the largest inn of Lan City, Qing Province, with a candle burning like beans, Han Ruyan sat on the bed and asked Su Jie beside her.
Her skin was as white as the purest lamb jade, her figure appearing even more enchanting under the candlelight.
"Hold on for a moment, my wife."
Su Jie leaned at the head of the bed, with a Jade Scroll before him.
This Jade Scroll was a contribution from several Supreme Elders of Fire Cloud Palace, named "Mystic Sky Immortal Residence."
It naturally wouldn't be an ordinary item, since it attracted Su Jie's attention among numerous Cultivation Techniques.
Unlike most Cultivation Techniques that directly absorb Spiritual Energy for cultivation, this tome named "Mystic Sky Immortal Residence" is quite intriguing.
"Using manpower, financial resources, and spiritual material to construct wonders, using wonders to rally spirits, aggregating belief into divinity, forging inner and outer unity, directly pointing to the great dao."
Su Jie recited these words, his eyes growing brighter.
In simple terms, this "Mystic Sky Immortal Residence" is about building various wonders, where one's Primordial Spirit is anchored within these wonders.
The functions of these wondrous buildings vary, but they all share a common trait: absorbing emotions such as awe, reverence, worship towards the wonders, and generating Faith Power.
Once a wondrous building is completed, part of the Primordial Spirit resides within, and Faith Power directly absorbs by the Primordial Spirit accelerates its growth and refinement, considered a miraculous method of external Primordial Spirit training.
In the record of "Mystic Sky Immortal Residence," the wondrous buildings are categorized into three levels: Human Dao Level Wonders, Earthly Level Wonders, and Heavenly Dao Level Wonders.
Human Dao Level Wonders are the weakest, while Heavenly Dao Level Wonders are the strongest. The more advanced the wonder, the larger its range for absorbing Faith Power, and the higher its refining efficiency.
For example, a certain Human Dao Level Wonder has a range of a thousand kilometers, and if one person's Faith Power is 100 points, its absorption efficiency would be 20 points.
If it were a Heavenly Dao Level Wonder, its range could be hundreds or thousands of times larger, with its absorption efficiency of Faith Power being 90 points, entirely incomparable.
In the tome "Mystic Sky Immortal Residence," Su Jie also saw introductions and architectures of the Wilderness Tower and Red Shining Immortal Palace.
The Wilderness Tower is a Human Dao Wonder, the Red Shining Immortal Palace is an Earthly Level Wonder. Yes, the renowned Red Shining Immortal Palace, a landmark of Qing Province, causing Fire Cloud Palace bankruptcy eight times, is merely an Earthly Level Wonder.
As for Heavenly Dao Level Wonders, the tome also records them, like the Thirty-three Layered Heavenly Palace, Six Paths Reincarnation Mansion, and Three Thousand Realms Ziwei Exquisite Tower.
Su Jie glanced at them, realizing the construction materials needed would empty his Storage Bag without even scratching the surface.
Clearly, Fire Cloud Cave's enthusiasm for building wonders is not simply a leisure endeavor.
The Red Shining Immortal Palace, among others, serves as a vessel for carrying the Primordial Spirit, used for absorbing Faith Power, thereby strengthening the Primordial Spirit.
The Red Shining Immortal Palace has existed for over a thousand years, as the landmark building of Qing Province, absorbing an unknown amount of people's Faith Power. It's no wonder that Fire Cloud Palace can continuously produce various strong cultivators, likely related to it.
What interests Su Jie most is the existence of "Mystic Sky Immortal Residence," letting Su Jie see a broad avenue for reinforcing his Primordial Spirit.
Thinking about building wonders, Blue Star has much to say.
The Eight Wonders of the World belong to Blue Star's architectural wonders, though they can't really compare to the wonders in Tianyuan World.
However, Blue Star has its own advantages, with its massive population density far surpassing Tianyuan World, providing more Faith Power naturally.
Additionally, there's a difference in dissemination methods.
Once a wondrous building is constructed, it must be spread out to be seen; if others can't see it, how could they be in awe, reverence, and worship to generate Faith Power?
The Red Shining Immortal Palace, as Qing Province's largest landmark building, is not open to the public, and the people of Tianyuan World generally lack the concept of tourism. Most people only roam within a hundred-mile radius from birth to death, so they might have heard of Red Shining Immortal Palace, but it wouldn't generate much Faith Power.
However, on Blue Star, you can maximize the influence of wonders through tourism, live streaming, videos, and other convenient dissemination methods, absorbing more Faith Power.
Su Jie can even imagine, if a wonder is built on Blue Star, it would shock the unworldly Blue Star people, attracting numerous visitors and gaining plenty of Faith Power through internet dissemination.
Su Jie's Primordial Spirit is currently in the God Unification Realm, aiming to break through to the Yangshen Realm. Only by achieving Yangshen will the Dharma Form become Su Jie's normal attack, significantly enhancing his combat power.
"If I construct a wonder on Blue Star, my speed of breakthrough to Yangshen will greatly accelerate. Achieving Yangshen with Daoist Platform Realm is absolutely not a dream."
Su Jie feels more and more excited as he thinks, with his influence on Blue Star, building wonders wouldn't face any obstacles, the only difference is resource limitation.
Speaking of resources, Su Jie has recently earned a fortune in Qing Province, with wealth of Spirit Stones exceeding a billion, absolutely no problem in constructing a Human Dao Level Wonder.
"My husband, it's time to rest."
Han Ruyan urged again, pressing her jade-like hand on the Jade Scroll.
Su Jie put away the Jade Scroll, glanced at the bright and captivating Han Ruyan, then slipped under the quilt to embrace her. The touch was supple, almost indistinguishable from reality if one ignored the hint of ethereal vagueness.
"My lady, when do you plan to ascend to the Ninth Grade!"
"Soon, very soon."
The candle flame flickered out, and the night passed without a word.
......
"When it comes to Su Jie, he truly is a peerless Great Demon. From Qingzhou to Chongzhou, from Chongzhou to Qing Province, he fought through three thousand miles. Wherever he passed, blood seas surged and eerie winds howled, utterly vicious and ruthless."
The next day, atop a high platform in a certain tavern in Lanzhou, a storyteller, holding a gavel, smacked it heavily with an elevated voice full of vigor.
"In the battle that extinguished the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance's sect, that Evil Su soared across the battlefield, his demonic might unmatched. With a wave of his hand, he summoned storms, and with a stomp, the heavens turned and the earth shifted."
Facing the suppression of the Red Shining Immortal Palace and the fiery torrents of the Fire Cloud Hall Sect Master, he slaughtered until rivers of blood flowed and corpses scattered across the wilderness. Speaking of his demonic might, it truly was unrivaled, and a world-class enemy of all righteous sects."
The storyteller on stage kept narrating nonstop, unaware that the peerless Great Demon he spoke of was sitting below, feasting and drinking.
"Waiter, another pot of good wine, and slice two pounds of beef."
"Certainly, sir, it will come right away."
Inside the tavern, a disguised Su Jie enjoyed fine wine and delicacies, then tossed a silver ingot towards the stage.
"Well spoken, this is for you."
The weighty silver ingot landed in front of the storyteller, who instantly beamed with joy, repeatedly bowing to Su Jie: "Thank you, young master, for your reward. May your fortunes flourish and good luck abound."
Su Jie, indifferent, continued feasting.
"To think there's someone reciting tales of a Demon, truly a rarity."
"Well, this Devilish Immortal Seed has been stirring up storms lately, shaking the world."
At another table, several loose cultivators dressed in varying attire showed expressions of surprise.
"Speaking of which, is the matter at Qilong Mountain true? Is there really an Exotic Treasure emerging there?"
Chatting, one suddenly lowered his voice and cautiously said.
"How could it be false? The circle of nearby cultivators is abuzz; the commotion at Qilong Mountain is so great, with Treasure Light shining day and night, illuminating the heavens and earth. There must be an Exotic Treasure appearing."
"Nearby sects have all rushed there. I'm planning to try my luck too. Maybe fate is on my side."
Though they whispered cautiously, Su Jie overheard them easily.
Upon hearing the words Exotic Treasure, Su Jie glanced over with immediate interest.
Speaking of Exotic Treasures, the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus in Su Jie's possession is one, a naturally-occurring treasure that's hard to come by.
"Fellow Daoists, what's happening at Qilin Mountain?"
Silently, Su Jie placed his arm around one person's shoulder, seated himself among them, and with a smile, looked at the group of small loose cultivators.
The small loose cultivators were startled and dismayed, realizing that the strongest among them, a cultivator at the Fifth Level of the Yunling Realm, hadn't even noticed Su Jie's arrival. They all quickly understood that Su Jie was at least a Sixth Level Yunling cultivator, a formidable character akin to an inner disciple in a sect, not someone they could afford to offend.
"Da... Daoist, please, you want to know something, we will certainly tell you everything."
A loose cultivator cautiously began to speak. As loose cultivators without backing, living cautiously without support, offending a fierce person meant having nowhere to seek redress. Most loose cultivators survived by being cautious, thus dared not offend Su Jie.
"Just tell me about Qilong Mountain."
"Qilong Mountain, well, it started about a week ago..."
As the loose cultivators chimed in their accounts, they quickly conveyed everything they knew.
Qilong Mountain is the tallest mountain within Qing Province. About a week ago, the mountain suddenly underwent a mutation.
Rumor has it a sound resembling dragon roars and phoenix cries emanated from Qilong Mountain, followed by beams of five-colored mist rising skyward, with Spiritual Energy surging like a tide.
The surrounding sect forces of Qing Province were alarmed, rushing to this location in droves.
If it weren't for the recent collapse of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance drawing a lot of attention, the anomaly of Qilong Mountain would have already spread far and wide.
"An Exotic Treasure, who knows what kind it is."
After listening, Su Jie showed a hint of interest in his eyes.
Holding the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus made Su Jie particularly interested in Exotic Treasures, and given his strength, Su Jie didn't believe anything could threaten him.
If he truly couldn't win, with the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, even a Seventh Realm Taoist Platform cultivator couldn't hold him back.
"Alright, decided, I'll take a stroll to Qilong Mountain."
Su Jie dismissed the idea of returning to Ghost Ridge Palace and planned to first take a trip to Qilong Mountain to see if he could find any opportunities.
