Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Immortal only desires a steady path to enlightenment!

Chapter 5: The Creation of the Azure Lotus - The Origin Lotus Seed! The True and False Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan!

Sun rises and sets, time flies.

More than a thousand years have passed since I left Jin'ao Island.

Yu Ding and the others have now returned to Yu Xu Palace.

As instructed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, I have come to pay my respects.

On his way back, Randeng, Guangchengzi, and Taiyi all approached him, proposing to exchange for the remains of the Golden Crow.

He naturally wouldn't refuse.

They used a few scraps from the remnants of the Golden Crow to exchange for a large quantity of currently usable natural treasures.

It's a worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it.

Especially Guang Chengzi, who wanted to exchange for the essence of the Golden Crow.

If we don't take advantage of the situation...

They are all letting the other party down. The top weapon refiner of the Chan Sect, the second-generation pillar, who is expected to inherit the Chan Sect's name and status!

So, after his persuasion and some haggling, the price was agreed upon.

Guang Chengzi exchanged most of his collection for a drop of Golden Crow essence blood, ten drops of Golden Crow spinal cord, a feather from between his eyebrows, a heart-protecting bone, and a large amount of scraps.

Literally speaking, he did give a lot.

But don't forget who Guang Chengzi is.

His wealth is several times greater than the accumulated wealth of some innate deities!

Not to mention the various rare and precious materials used for refining weapons and alchemy.

It can be measured in terms of height, almost like a mountain.

The most precious of them all is a Creation Lotus - Origin Lotus Seed bestowed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable!

This thing is no ordinary item.

If it can be cultivated, it will be at least grade twelve!

If it weren't for the rare and precious materials in Guang Chengzi's possession.

It cannot provide the life-giving energy required for the other party to blossom.

It wasn't his turn to pick up this bargain at all.

Of course, he doesn't have the ability to make it bloom right now.

However, this only means that he doesn't have it now.

They have a trump card: a complete substitution.

Sooner or later we'll be able to get the rare and precious materials that will make it bloom!

As for the rare and precious materials obtained from Randeng and Taiyi...

Although it is rare in the world.

However, compared to the Creation Lotus - Origin Lotus Seed.

It's clearly not good enough.

"Yu Ding, you deserve the most credit for winning first place in this competition."

"What reward do you desire?"

After Randeng finished reporting on his journey, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly.

He looked at the jade cauldron with indifferent eyes, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

"Reporting to Master, these are all things this disciple should do."

"The honor of the Chan sect is our honor."

"This disciple will do everything in his power to protect it."

Sometimes, there are things you can't have; they're only truly yours if they're given to you.

Yu Ding was confident that Yuanshi Tianzun would not mistreat him.

Naturally, we need to make it look good on the surface.

"That's right, you have a very clear understanding."

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Randeng discreetly before taking out a seven-colored feather fan that emitted five-colored light from his Taoist robe.

"This is the Heaven-Burning Feather Fan, which I obtained from the Treasure-Dividing Cliff."

"It belongs to the category of top-grade innate spiritual treasures, containing thirty-eight innate restrictions and a complete fire law."

"It is not only formed by the fusion of five kinds of fire: fire in the air, fire in the stone, fire in the wood, Samadhi fire, and human fire."

"I also used heavenly thunder and earthly fire to refine it, fusing the phoenix feather, the blue luan feather, the roc feather, the peacock feather, the white crane feather, the swan feather, the owl feather, and the seven bird feathers into it."

"Burning the heavens and boiling the seas, melting mountains and refining stones, are all as easy as turning one's hand."

"Truly a top-tier treasure among the fire arts!"

"I will give you this as a means of self-defense."

"If you have a way to integrate the remnants of the Golden Crow into it."

"The Heaven-Burning Feather Fan may even be transformed into a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Yu Ding truly did not expect that Yuanshi Tianzun would bestow this magical treasure upon him.

As the poem says:

Five rare treasures, named Seven Feathers, were first created by Suiren, who held the firefly.

When encountering mountains and strange rocks, they turn to ashes; when encountering the sea, they are dried up and barely exposed to the sun.

The first priority is to destroy wood and metal; the burning of beams and pillars continues unabated.

Wang Bianzong possessed the body of a deity, but his form would vanish the moment the fan was lifted.

This fan was originally a treasure of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and Huang Tianhua's master.

Their record is also quite impressive.

First, the Moral True Lord used this fan to kill the Heavenly Lord Wang Yi (Wang Bian) and break the Red Water Formation.

He later passed it on to his disciple Yang Ren, who used it to break the Plague Formation, killing Lü Yue, Li Ping, Chen Geng, Fang Yizhen, Yu Xian, and Yu Zhao, and scaring away Gao Ming and Yuan Hong.

It can be described as a renowned treasure of fire-related arts!

"It seems that Master already knows about the remains of the Golden Crow."

That's why they specifically brought out such a precious treasure of the fire path.

"I wonder if there's any way to borrow the Qiankun Cauldron from the Dao Ancestor."

"Or where can we obtain the primordial energy of the Primordial Chaos?"

"The former allows me to attempt to refine innate magic treasures."

"The latter can improve my physical foundation."

"Furthermore, they will possess an existence comparable to the Qiankun Cauldron, wielding the power to defy innate abilities!"

Thoughts kept flashing through my mind.

On the surface, the jade tripod did not show any abnormality.

He respectfully accepted the Heaven-Burning Feather Fan and returned to his seat.

"What important matter did Master mention before his departure?"

Guang Chengzi saw that the competition was over.

He stepped forward, bowed, and asked the Primordial Celestial Venerable why he had summoned them back.

"It's not a big deal."

As Yuanshi Tianzun responded calmly, his gaze swept over the others.

"You have been disciples of mine for at least several cycles of time."

The latest novel is first published here!

"I have taught you everything I could."

"It is time for you to descend the mountain, establish your dojos, and spread the name of our Chan Sect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guang Chengzi knelt down and began to wail mournfully.

"Master, we have only achieved a little bit so far."

"It cannot even compare to one ten-thousandth of what you have taught."

"How can we leave like this!"

"Besides, if I'm gone, who will take care of you, sir..."

To make it even more realistic, Guang Chengzi even forced out two lines of clear tears.

The worry in his eyes was even more convincing than the real thing.

Their faces were filled with reluctance and sadness, leaving Yu Ding and the others somewhat bewildered.

Thankfully, everyone was there at that moment.

Otherwise, what they know is that they need to separate their families and embark on a new journey.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Yuanshi Tianzun had collapsed and returned to heaven!

Qingxu and Daoxing were staunch supporters of the direct lineage.

Although I don't understand Guang Chengzi's behavior, I respect it.

They all knelt down and began to wail in pain.

In an instant, the entire Jade Void Palace was filled with wails and cries, as if the Primordial Celestial Venerable had truly collapsed and returned to heaven.

"Don't act like that!"

Hearing the cries of the three, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

What on earth is all this?!

You've all left, what am I supposed to do?

I am a dignified and eternally immortal sage of the Heavenly Dao, with boundless magical power!

Do you think I can't live without you?

Even the people from Jade Void Palace have left.

I can also conjure up hundreds or even thousands of all kinds of servants at will!

However, despite my displeasure...

He did not reveal his true thoughts.

That would be too damaging to his image.

"I'm simply asking you to go down the mountain, establish a monastery, and recruit disciples!"

"What nonsense are you spouting here!"

"Get up right now and wipe the tears off your face!"

Seeing that the Primordial Celestial Venerable was showing anger.

Guang Chengzi and the other two immediately stood up from the ground.

He concealed the sorrowful look on his face.

Apart from a hint of resentment in their eyes, it seemed as if they weren't the ones who had just been grieving.

There is no flaw visible from top to bottom.

"The reason I'm sending you down the mountain is that the choice of which place to go depends on your own destiny."

"But I won't let you leave empty-handed."

Forcibly suppressing his displeasure, Yuanshi Tianzun regained his previous composure.

"Guang Chengzi, I bestow upon you the Soul-Losing Bell, the Male and Female Swords, the Eight Trigrams Purple Longevity Immortal Robe, and the Sweeping Clouds Robe as protective magic treasures."

"Among them, the Soul-Slaying Bell and the Twin Swords are ranked among the most precious acquired treasures, and their power is also among the top. I hope you will use them carefully."

"Thank you for this treasure, Master."

Guang Chengzi accepted the magic weapon with delight and immediately bowed in gratitude.

"This disciple will remember it and will never tarnish the prestige of the Chan Sect."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and looked at Qingxu.

"Qingxu, I bestow upon you the Hunyuan Banner, the Flying Lightning Spear, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the Moye Sword, and the Heart-Piercing Nail as protective magic weapons."

"Among them, the Hunyuan Banner is a spatial magic treasure, capable of carrying people across time and space, and escaping into the void of heaven and earth."

"The Flying Lightning Spear, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the Moye Sword, and the Heart-Piercing Nail are top-tier offensive magic weapons among the best acquired spiritual treasures."

"I hope you will use it well and not tarnish the prestige of my Chan Sect."

"Thank you so much, Master, for this treasure!"

As Qingxu joyfully accepted the magical treasure, he bowed and thanked the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Yu Ding was completely dumbfounded.

His eyes were fixed on the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in front of Qingxu, which was extremely similar in appearance to the Burning Heaven Feather Fan!

"What's going on?"

"Could I have remembered it wrong?"

"Since the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in Qingxu's hand is the magic weapon he used in his original trajectory."

"Then what's the deal with this Heaven-Burning Feather Fan in my hand?"

"Or perhaps, what the other party possesses is a replica made by the Primordial Celestial Venerable?"
