The Heavenly Fate Divine Spring, just from the name, one could tell it was an extraordinary item.
Ye Qiu asked: “What is the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring?”
Green replied: “The Heavenly Fate Divine Spring is the foremost sacred spring in the world. It is said to cure all illnesses. Even if a saint powerhouse’s divine soul is injured, soaking the body in this spring water can restore it.”
So miraculous?
Ye Qiu was somewhat excited and asked: “Where is the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring? Take me there quickly.”
Green glanced at Ye Qiu, hesitating to speak.
“What is it? Is there difficulty?” Ye Qiu noticed Green’s expression and asked.
Green nodded and said: “The Heavenly Fate Divine Spring is in the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.”
“Moreover, this spring water is a sacred object of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, guarded by one of its supreme elders.”
“Rumour has it that the supreme elder of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect is an old saint who has lived for eight thousand years.”
Hiss.
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Immortal both drew in a sharp breath. A saint who had lived for over eight thousand years, this was even longer than Dugu Wudi’s lifespan. Evidently, obtaining the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, the Azure Cloud Sword Sect was the number one sect in the Eastern Wastelands. Apart from this old saint guarding the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring, there were surely many other peerless experts.
Green continued: “In the past, many people coveted the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring. Even saint powerhouses sneaked into the Azure Cloud Sword Sect to steal the spring water, yet not a single one came out alive.”
Green went on: “However, I have heard there are a few ways to obtain the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring.”
“First, become a direct disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect’s sect leader, or become a divine son of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.”
“However, since ancient times, the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect has only taken one disciple, and the current sect leader already has his.”
“As for a divine son…”
Green sighed and said: “I am afraid the chance is also very slim.”
“The Azure Cloud Sword Sect, as the foremost great sect in the Eastern Wastelands, has a million disciples under its banner. The true geniuses conferred as divine sons number only three, and those three are now all at the Nascent Soul realm.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu’s heart sank.
The meaning in Green’s words was clear: to become a divine son of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, one needed at least the Nascent Soul realm.
He was only at the early Golden Core realm now. Even if he encountered another fortuitous opportunity, it would be impossible to cross several realms in a short time and become a Nascent Soul powerhouse.
“There is a second method.”
Green said: “Although the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring belongs to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, the sect allows those with affinity to obtain it.”
Ye Qiu was puzzled: “What do you mean?”
Green explained: “The Heavenly Fate Divine Spring is inherently an extremely rare heavenly material and earthly treasure. Coupled with long-term exposure to saints preaching the Dao, it birthed spiritual awareness several thousand years ago.”
“Over a thousand years ago, the Azure Cloud Sword Sect began allowing human cultivators to try their luck before the divine spring, regardless of cultivation level or sect affiliation, as long as they were not demons or devils. If one gains the recognition of the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring, they may soak in it for a day.”
“As far as I know, many people have received the divine spring’s recognition and soaked in it for a day.”
“There was a little novice monk, only twelve years old at the time with no cultivation whatsoever, who nonetheless gained the divine spring’s recognition and soaked for a day. After emerging, he was taken away by people from the Western Desert Buddhist Sect. It is said he is now the Buddhist son of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect.”
“There was also a saint whose lifespan was nearly exhausted, who soaked for a day and successfully extended his life by a thousand years.”
“I heard all this from the old sect leader. The old sect leader also said the divine spring’s mysteries are profound and boundless. To gain its recognition, one must possess great fortune.”
Long Eyebrow Immortal immediately said: “Little brat, I think you should go try. Your fortune is abundant, so you are certain to gain the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring’s recognition.”
Ye Qiu had the same intention.
All along, his luck had been very good. If he could gain the Heavenly Fate Divine Spring’s recognition, then Fairy Hundred Blossoms would be saved.
Ye Qiu glanced at Fairy Hundred Blossoms in his arms. At this moment, she had her eyes tightly closed, her face pale, still trapped in unconsciousness and not yet awake.
“Green, how far is the Hundred Blossoms Palace from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect?” Ye Qiu asked.
Green replied: “The Azure Cloud Sword Sect is located at the easternmost edge of the Eastern Wastelands, right by the great sea. It is over twenty million miles from the Hundred Blossoms Palace.”
“If using a teleportation array, it would take about fifteen days to arrive.”
“If using the saint’s formation pattern, it would still take ten days.”
“But there are two problems.”
“First, the Palace Lord said that half saint’s formation pattern can only teleport a million miles each time, which means at least twenty teleports to reach the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.”
“The Palace Lord also said that with our cultivations, using the saint’s formation pattern once would exhaust our energy. So reaching the Azure Cloud Sword Sect within ten days is not realistic.”
“Second, the midway route from the Hundred Blossoms Palace to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect covers at least eight million miles that belong to the Yin Yang Sect’s territory. We must pass through the Yin Yang Sect’s domain to reach the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.”
“This stretch of the journey is very dangerous.”
Ye Qiu said: “No matter how dangerous, we must go to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect and try our luck. Fairy Hundred Blossoms is in critical condition. I cannot stand by and do nothing. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I must save her.”
Hearing this, Green was moved to tears.
“The matter brooks no delay. We set off now.” Ye Qiu said: “As for how to quickly recover stamina, we will figure it out on the way.”
Long Eyebrow Immortal immediately took out the half saint’s formation pattern and infused it with true qi. In an instant, the formation pattern emitted a brilliant glow.
Then, Long Eyebrow Immortal adjusted the coordinates.
Ye Qiu, holding Fairy Hundred Blossoms, stepped into the formation pattern, with Green following closely behind. The next second, the group vanished from the spot.
…
Almost simultaneously.
Several million miles away, inside a mountain cave, there was a dishevelled, bearded man with eyes closed, immersed in cultivation.
Suddenly, surging blood qi shot straight to the firmament, and terrifying fluctuations appeared on the man’s body.
Though unkempt, he appeared like a deity, inspiring awe in others.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a powerful force emanated from the man. The next moment, five cave heavens appeared behind him.
Each cave heaven was the size of a house, madly devouring the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.
Ten seconds later.
“Boom!”
The sixth cave heaven appeared, and the aura on the man became even more terrifying.
“Again!”
The man shouted loudly, and intense fluctuations appeared around him. The seventh cave heaven emerged.
However, the man did not stop.
The seven cave heavens floated behind the man, continuing to devour the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. At this moment, the spiritual qi seemed to materialise, like great rivers manifesting from the void and respectively burrowing into the seven cave heavens.
This scene lasted half an hour.
“Boom!”
The eighth cave heaven appeared.
“Not enough, again!” The man shouted loudly, and a very small cave heaven appeared.
This was the ninth cave heaven.
Gradually, the ninth cave heaven grew larger and larger. It took a full two hours before it became as big as the other eight cave heavens.
The nine cave heavens manifested behind the man, setting him off like a divine spirit, extremely terrifying.
“Hah!”
The man opened his eyes, divine light blazing in his pupils. The powerful aura directly shattered the entire mountain peak.
The man tied up his hair and stroked his face, his beard vanishing entirely to reveal a handsome countenance, looking like a youth in his thirties.
The man stood up and said resonantly: “Finally, I have stepped into the peak Cave Heaven realm!”
“Next, I will go challenge the prodigies of the various great sects.”
“I believe it will not be long before the name Dragon Bodhisattva resounds throughout this world!”
