Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 677 The Three Treasures, The Fourth Talisman
Fengshen City has no city walls.

You can leave the city by following any of the main streets. Li Yuan strolled along the street and would go in to take a look when he passed by shops that were separated from the outside by a barrier.

Although Fengshen City is not one of the five major cities of Tianshiyuan, it is still among the immortal cities. The shops in the city are full of rare and precious spiritual items and treasures.

In powerful shops like Taixu Branch Pavilion, there are even divine treasures as the store's prized possessions. Although they are not top-grade, they are still priceless.

Taoist soldiers, magical treasures, elixirs, flying boats, divine patterns, exotic beasts, spirit puppets, cultivation manuals...

On the way out of the city, Li Yuan visited several shops. Although he didn't buy many items, he felt that his horizons had broadened considerably.

"The Wind God Clan, a major clan in Tian Shi Yuan, is a clan that has been passed down from the Origin God Dynasty. Their ancestor attained enlightenment a century ago, and seems to be a contemporary of the Poison Dragon God..."

Li Yuan also devoted some of his attention to the Knowledge Sphere, occasionally exploring the myriad phenomena of the Great Void. By the time he left the city, he had gained a considerable understanding of this immortal city.

When viewed from high above the sky, Fengshen City resembles a giant concentric circle, with circles within circles, and many other cities guarding the city.

"The little female dragon's knowledge is still somewhat limited, but some of her understanding is correct."

Li Yuan looked up.

Tian Shi Yuan is a continent that gathers the light of countless stars. Even in broad daylight, one can see the starlight falling through the sea of ​​clouds, as well as cultivators traveling between Tian Shi Yuan and many other stars along the starlight.

Li Yuan changed his master, relying on the Five Senses Set for support.

Faintly, faintly, one could see that within the starlight that originated from the stars and filled the sky, there was a solemn divine restriction.

Those streaks of starlight are not only the light of stars, but also the 'star trails' connecting Tian Shi Yuan with the various star fields, and a huge, crisscrossing divine array that covers Tian Shi Yuan.

"The Scales of Balance?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Heavenly Market Enclosure may not contain only three Dao treasures, but the ones most known to all realms are undoubtedly the Great Void Divine Realm, the Balance Scales, and the Star Banner.

Among them, the Taixu Divine Mirror goes without saying; it is the main body of the Taixu Illusionary Realm and is famous throughout all realms. The Balance Scales, on the other hand, have the ability to measure heaven and earth and move freely without restraint.

It is precisely because of the existence of this balance scale that Tian Shi Yuan has the city of 'Tian Shi'. Although the domain gate is good, it is ultimately too expensive and cannot be popularized to all cultivators.

The Star Banner has the power to attract stars. When it stands on the Heavenly Market Wall, all the ownerless stars in the universe will be slowly attracted to it.

Ultimately, it was integrated into the Heavenly City Wall.

At the end of the Origin Era, the Heavenly Market Enclosure was located at the end of the Three Enclosures, originating from the frontier region. It existed for only one or two eras, but now it has subtly surpassed the Purple Star Enclosure.

It's all because of Marquis Shenfeng and these three great Dao treasures.

"Taobao."

Li Yuan muttered a few words to himself and couldn't help but glance at the Divine Burial Coffin in the Military Control Space. This ancient bronze coffin was not only a Dao Treasure, but it also faintly showed the aura of a high-grade Dao Treasure.

But even after owning it for many years, he still can't use it...

[Conditions for Controlling: Chaotic Sacred Body, Origin Divine Embryo, Sacred Ultimate Dharma Form]

"These are the conditions for control..."

Li Yuan was speechless after just one glance.

Back then, he thought these three conditions were extremely exaggerated and outrageous; now, looking at them again, he finds them even more terrifying.

"The Chaos Sacred Body is probably one type of innate Dao Body, while the Origin Divine Embryo is likely an innate Dao Body from the Origin God Clan, and the Sacred Ultimate Dharma Image..."

Li Yuan has read many books in recent years, including some about 'Dharma Form'.

The little dragon once said that when the Divine Palace is fully formed, the Spiritual Form is the Dharma Form. This is both right and wrong. The formation of the Divine Palace is only the foundation for condensing the Dharma Form. Once the Dharma Ring is formed, the Spiritual Form is the true Dharma Form.

There are five levels of Dharma forms: mortal, spirit, heaven, god, and saint.

To condense a Saint-level Dharma Image, one must refine the Nine-Scene Golden Core and the Nine-Aspect Dharma Ring, which is extremely rare even in Dongxuan Mountain.

As far as he knew, among the contemporary disciples, only Yu Wangxian had cultivated a Saint-level Dharma Image.

Outside Fengshen City, there were many cities. Li Yuan visited two of them before turning back to Fengshen City as dusk fell.
"I've been wandering around for so long and no one has followed me. It seems that the merchants in Fengshen City are all of high quality."

Whether out of regret or disappointment, Li Yuan didn't linger. With a flash, he disappeared into the night. Even without using magic power, a thirteenth-tier Sky-Piercing Boat could travel tens of thousands of miles in a single teleportation.

As usual, Li Yuan found a secluded cave, sealed the entrance, and activated the Azure Emperor's Qi. After noticing anything unusual, he set up an altar in the darkness and took out the blood of various divine beasts.

"When I received the ordination for the third time, I used the blood of a top-grade spirit beast. In terms of rank, it barely qualifies as the first realm. Logically speaking, the flesh of five sacrificial animals from the second realm should be enough for the fourth ordination, right?"

Li Yuan lightly patted his robe to remove the dust, pondering to himself that he should take out the flesh and blood of the five sacrificial animals of the second realm and prepare to test the second realm first.

It's not that he's stingy, but this time he used three realms. If the patriarch gets into the habit, and then jumps to another realm next time, wouldn't he have to use the five sacrificial animals and their flesh from the fifth realm?
"call!"

Li Yuan focused his mind and arranged the altars required for the ceremony neatly.

Compared to the initial simplicity, the altars and incense he uses now are all of the highest quality.

He pondered for a while and, finding no discrepancy, then sprinkled the blood of the two sacrificial animals that had been gathered, following the proper ritual positions.

"Om~"

In the darkness, the blood of the five spirit beasts shone brightly, not only without any bloody smell, but even with a faint fragrance.

Blood vapors surged, and faintly, the shadow of a spirit beast from its previous life seemed to appear, emitting a low roar in the darkness.

"May the ancestral master protect us!"

Letting out a long breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart, Li Yuan paced around, reciting a prayer in his heart and aloud at the same time.

Finally, a long bow:
"Disciple Li Yuan humbly begs Heaven to bestow upon me my rank and ordination!"

boom!
Li Yuan felt an invisible aura suddenly rise, and divine light shone brightly in the darkness as the shadows of five spirit beasts soared into the sky.

"Oops..."

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the five beast shadows had vanished into the void in just a few moments.

"Even the second realm won't accept it, the patriarch has actually started to be picky about food..."

Seeing this, Li Yuan sighed inwardly, but did not waste any time.

First, he cleaned up the ground to make sure there was no trace of blood residue before taking out the five jars of flesh and blood of the three-realm spirit beasts he had bought.

"Surely the three realms must be achieved, right?"

Li Yuan suddenly felt uneasy, fearing that the ancestral master would not accept it, but he quickly composed himself, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and performed the sacrifice again.

"Disciple Li Yuan humbly begs Heaven to bestow upon me my rank and ordination!"

Li Yuan bowed deeply.

Woo~
The cave was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan felt relieved. Based on his experience from the previous three times, he thought this time it should be successful.

boom!
Sure enough, the familiar loud noise arrived as expected, like thousands of thunderclaps exploding simultaneously in the depths of the soul.

Even though he was prepared, Li Yuan still felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, but that was all. With the Divine Realm as a buffer, he would not be shaken half to death by the loud noise like before.

But within the divine realm, towering waves and rolling thunder filled the air, and Xuan Teng Island was almost submerged by the waves. The Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a giant Kun, desperately trying to calm the Niwan Divine Realm.

"Roar!"

"Moo!"

In the next instant, five-colored light shone in the cave.

The blood of the five sacrificial animals scattered on the ground burned and boiled, transforming into five tangible spirit beasts that roared and soared into the sky before disappearing into the dark mountainside.

"It's done!"

Li Yuan let out a long sigh, raised his hand to collect the altar and all the miscellaneous items, turned around, and disappeared into the void.

After moving several times to make sure no one noticed, Li Yuan found another cave, sat down in meditation, and entered the space where he controlled his troops.

The expansion of the gray stone platform has subsided, with only slight ripples remaining.

Li Yuan glanced up and his gaze fell on the edge of the stone platform, which resembled a plaza. There, a long, pale purple wooden platform stood. "It looks like a bed..."

Li Yuan's mind raced, and he focused his attention to perceive.

[Four Conferments of Ordination: Master of Dream Ordination]

[Li Yuan: 10th-tier Master of Weapons, 8th-tier Master of Sound, 7th-tier Master of Calamity, Master of Dreams]

【Dream Record】

[Activated: Nourishing Bed]

"..."

It really is a bed!

"Forging platform, robbery platform, sound-listening wooden talisman, spirit-nourishing bed..."

Li Yuan subconsciously glanced at the various strange objects on the stone platform and couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this stone platform was originally the secluded residence of a blacksmith.

"Health-preserving bed..."

Despite his inner grumbling, Li Yuan still had high expectations for his fourth talisman, especially since it was clearly different from the previous three.

There isn't even a distinction between ranks!

Li Yuan walked to the purple wooden bed, and with a thought, he sensed the fragmented information originating from the Dream Record.

"A dream of wealth and glory fades into dust... My spirit roams the vast world... Life goes against the current... I prove the truth amidst the starry sky..."

The information was fragmented; even with the enhancement of his five senses set, Li Yuan only heard a few sentences intermittently. However, the Dream Talisman's information was very clear:
【Dream Record】

[Tianmeng: 0]

[Activated: Nourishing Bed]

"Entering a dream..."

Sensing the messages emanating from the Dream Talisman, Li Yuan felt that this fourth talisman was increasingly special.

But for a moment, he couldn't think of any use in entering a dream. He focused his senses again and vaguely heard another sentence:
"Even the heavens have dreams, and one can observe the heavens through dreams... One needs a medium to enter a dream... Nourish your spirit with a bed, and use millet as a pillow..."

"Can't you just be more direct..."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly, but he already roughly understood the function of this fourth talisman.

"However, this dream entry seems even less effective than the human-intercepting platform... What is the Heavenly Dream? It requires a medium, a dream to enter the heavens?"

Li Yuan frowned. This fourth talisman disappointed him somewhat. It seemed not only to be of little use, but also required a medium to activate.

Moreover, he had a vague sense of familiarity with it...

"Entering dreams... It seems that the Nightmare Hydra has the ability to enter people's dreams?"

Li Yuan was startled and subconsciously sensed the Niwan Divine Realm.

After a brief period of turmoil, the divine realm has returned to calm, but there are puddles everywhere on Xuan Teng Island, and the Xuan Teng trees gently shake off the water droplets from their branches and leaves.

Beneath the big tree, the once enormous Nightmare Hydra molt had shrunk by more than half.

"Does this thing count as a medium?"

With a single thought, Li Yuan moved the nightmare hydra's molted body to the bedside of his spirit-restoring body. A faint light flashed on the wooden bed, and then everything returned to calm.

The molted remains of a monstrous beast are insufficient as a medium.

"A nightmare beast?"

Li Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. He threw the snake molt back into the Divine Realm, and with a wave of his hand, he retrieved a fragrant cauldron. A wisp of purple energy flowed slowly within it, giving off a rather eerie feeling.

[The power of nightmares can be used as a medium!]

A flash of purple light appeared on the meditation bed, and the wisp of nightmare power in the incense burner had disappeared.

[Current Dream Number: 1]

"Is the power of nightmares considered a medium?"

Instead of trying rashly, Li Yuan moved all the weapons and items he had collected over the years from the weapon-controlling stone platform to his bedside.

But this time, the latter showed absolutely no fluctuations, clearly indicating extremely stringent requirements for the media.

"This bed may not only recognize the power of nightmares, but I don't have anything of the same level as this power of nightmares..."

Li Yuan felt a sense of unease.

This wisp of nightmare power of his is suspected to come from the legendary progenitor of the Nightmare Hydra, so its grade must be extremely high!

"Heavenly Dream."

The use of the relaxation bed is very simple; one only needs to lie on it. However, looking at that faint purple hue, Li Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Could it be the progenitor of the nightmare hydra that entered my dreams?"

The meditation bed did not answer, but simply lay quietly on the edge of the stone platform, its faint purple light flickering on and off, giving off an indescribable eerie feeling.

"Big loss!"

Inside the cave, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

This fourth talisman is very special, but he really doesn't dare to use it. If he really enters the dream of the Hydra progenitor, he's afraid he won't be able to come back alive.

There are other possibilities, but he doesn't dare to gamble on them.

But he was unwilling to accept that the fourth talisman didn't exist.

"Perhaps I can give it a try once I've mastered the Shadow Demon Divine Art? Even if it's dangerous, my second primordial spirit entering a dream shouldn't affect me, right?"

Li Yuan's thoughts wandered, considering all sorts of possibilities.

Finally, he felt that entering a dream should be done with caution.

Not only should one enter the dream using the Second Primordial Spirit Technique, but it would be best to stay in Dongxuan Mountain at that time. If one could also take a nap in the secluded bamboo forest, that would be even safer.

"Given the stringent conditions and the immense danger, one would expect the rewards of entering a dream so profoundly..."

Having received the talisman for many years, Li Yuan had some guesses about the Dream Talisman.

"Let's go back to the mountain."

After a long while, Li Yuan suppressed his complicated thoughts, turned around, and disappeared into the void.

Having cultivated for many years, he still attaches great importance to the art of talisman mastery, but he is no longer the weapon-forging apprentice who has nothing but the art of talisman mastery.

The inability to use this fourth talisman temporarily will not affect his cultivation, practice, or advancement in realms.

……

……

The next morning, Li Yuan had already returned to Dongxuan Mountain.

After being verified by the Xuanji Dao soldiers, he returned to his small grotto with his empty money bag. Before leaving, he couldn't resist buying a spiritual treasure that he had previously set his sights on.

【Azure Thunder Dragon (Tier 11)】

This magical treasure has a similar control effect to the Mystic Qi Gourd, and it also has the ability to stack innate talents. However, in addition to this, this little thunder dragon also has six divine restrictions, hence its high price.

After acquiring these two spiritual treasures and being teleported back through the domain gate, Li Yuan's merits would be almost gone.

After returning, he went to find his senior brother Wang Jingyi and changed the incense to the seventh rank.

"Once you have mastered the Azure Emperor's power, you can re-enter the Battle Hall."

After putting away the incense he had received, Li Yuan returned to his own little sanctuary.
