Qing Xu glanced at the fortune jade in the ancestral master's ring. Afterwards, he looked inside himself and found the fortune jade that had fused with his mental world. Immediately, he discovered that the fortune jade actually had three missing corners.
There were three missing corners, one big and two small. Among them, two of the missing corners accounted for about one-tenth of the entire fortune jade, while the bigger one accounted for one-fourth of the entire fortune jade.
Originally, Qing Xu did not pay much attention to the chipped corners. He only thought that the divine jade was like that. However, now that he saw the fortune jade in the ancestral master's ring, he discovered that the fortune jade just happened to be compatible with the fortune jade in his mental world. The two of them were one.
"I must get my hands on this fortune jade."
Tsing Hui muttered to himself.
However, he didn't stop there. He took the incense from the disciple, lit it, bowed slightly, and placed it in the incense burner in front of him.
When Tsing Hui finished lighting the incense and walked toward the living room, he saw a middle-aged man in a purple-gold robe walking toward the living room. Seeing this man, the disciple quickly introduced him to Tsing Hui. "This is the dean of our Purple Cloud Palace branch, Sage Zi Yuan."
"Dong Yang greets Sage Zi Yuan."
Dong Yang bowed slightly to the middle-aged man.
This city wasn't considered a big one. It was slightly smaller than Tongyun City, so the dean stationed here didn't have a high cultivation base. Like Tsing Hui, he was in the Blue Nether Realm.
However, Tsing Hui was at the peak of the Blue Nether Realm, while Sage Zi Yuan was only at the middle stage.
"You're too kind, Your Excellency Dong Yang. Please come in."
Although Sage Zi Yuan was a disciple of one of the Purple Cloud Palace's major sects, he didn't put on airs in front of Tsing Hui. With a wave of his hand, he led Tsing Hui to the living room.
After a round of tea and snacks, the Purple Daoist cut to the chase. "May I know what business you have with us?"
"This matter is related to an ancient tome of the Purple Cloud Palace. I once flipped through some of the tome by chance and found some unknown runes, but I didn't understand what they meant. All these years, I've been thinking of ways to understand the meaning of these runes. Yesterday, I suddenly bought a tome of your esteemed sect in the antique market and found similar runes in that tome. Thus, I couldn't wait to come here and ask for your guidance, Sage Ziyuan.
"Oh, I wonder what ancient book it is?"
"I've been searching for the meaning of these runes for more than ten years. When I first obtained the book, I was so agitated that I lost control of my Genuine Qi and accidentally damaged it. This is also the reason why I'm distressed."
I wonder if Your Excellency Dong Yang still remembers how to write those runes? "
Daoist Ziyuan smiled.
The Purple Cloud Palace was a supreme sect, but the Purple Cloud Enlightened Man was only one of the countless branches of the Purple Cloud Palace. Moreover, it was one of the weaker branches. If he could befriend a powerhouse at the peak of the Blue Netherworld Realm and make them owe him a favor, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Many thanks, Sage. I do remember some of these runes."
"Go prepare some ink, paper, and inkstone."
Sage Zi Yuan said to the attendant at the door.
Before long, a few children came with the ink, paper, and inkstone.
Tsing Hui carefully recalled the many runes in the ancestral hall and vaguely wrote down a dozen or so of them.
Sage Zi Yuan was slightly taken aback by the runes Tsing Hui had written down, but he nodded and said, "These mysterious runes are indeed recorded in some of the tome of our Purple Cloud Palace. Moreover, due to certain special reasons, some of our people have studied these runes for over a thousand years. Alas, they still haven't been able to decipher all of them, only a rough idea. This shows just how mysterious and obscure these runes are. As time passed, no one apart from a few ancient clans that have been passed down for three thousand years has studied the meaning of these runes. As a result, it won't be easy for Your Excellency Dong Yang to understand the true meaning of these runes."
"Are there still people studying these runes in your esteemed sect? I wonder if I could trouble you to tell them that I would like to pay them a visit in person. "
"This …."
Sage Zi Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Currently, the only ones still studying these mysterious runes are the Si clan. The Si clan used to be one of the largest factions in Purple Cloud Palace, and they once had an ancestor who cultivated endless true qi. However, because they poured a great deal of effort into these runes, they gradually declined over the past few thousand years. Now, they don't even have a single True Energy Realm Saint Realm elder in the clan. As a result, the Si clan didn't retreat to Sky Pillar Mountain like the rest of our sect. Instead, they remain in the original sect of Purple Cloud Palace. Why don't you pay them a visit?"
Tsing Hui muttered to himself for a moment before nodding, "Thank you for your trouble, Sage Zi Yuan."
"It's no problem. I can't really help you with this matter."
"Then I'll make a trip to Purple Cloud Palace first and pay a visit to the Si clan. It won't be too late to pay you a visit after I return."
"No rush, no rush."
When the Sage of Ziyuan saw how Qing Xu was about to leave, he said in a hurry, "If sir Dong Yang goes to visit just like that, you might not be able to meet the family of my superior. If sir Dong Yang doesn't mind, why don't you become an honorary guest of our branch? Even if you're only an honorary guest, you can still be considered a deacon in Purple Cloud Palace. You won't bring shame to your status as a Blue Netherworld Realm expert. "
"An honorary guest?"
Tsing Hui's heart skipped a beat. "May I ask what kind of powers an honorary guest has and what kind of responsibilities an honorary guest has?"
"An honorary guest is a rather revered position in Purple Cloud Palace. Although there are some differences between an honorary guest and a true guest, you can still enjoy all the privileges of a deacon in Purple Cloud Palace. As for your responsibilities, it's entirely up to you, Senior Dong Yang. Normally, if there's something we need to deal with in Purple Cloud Palace and a disciple's cultivation isn't enough, we'll need the assistance of an honorary guest. You have the right to refuse such requests, but if you don't complete the sect's mission or contribute to Purple Cloud Palace, we won't be able to pass on some of the top treasures, immortal arts, and cultivation methods that belong to Purple Cloud Palace to you.
"I understand."
Tsing Hui nodded. "Since you think so highly of me, I'll respectfully accept."
"Good!"
Daoist Purple Cloud smiled and said, "Please tell me about your cultivation, realm, and background so that I can report your information to the higher-ups."
"I'm from Nanzhao Kingdom's Tianjin Guard. My family head is from Falling Cloud Mountain's Ten Li Village. However, our village suffered a calamity fourteen years ago. I'm afraid it won't be easy to investigate this. As for my cultivation and cultivation method …"
Tsing Hui pondered for a moment. When he thought about the Blue Netherworld Realm strength he had displayed and the lofty status of a Son of Chaos on the Fortune Continent, he still said, "By chance, I obtained the inheritance of a fourth stage Son of Chaos. Since then, I've befriended a big shot in the Chaos Shrine. That big shot taught me everything."
"Inheritance of Chaos?"
Daoist Purple Cloud was both surprised and delighted when he heard Tsing Hui's identity as a Son of Chaos. "You're actually a Son of Chaos? Good! What a great opportunity! Good luck! If you're a Son of Chaos, do you have any treasures on you? "
"Treasures of Dao?"
Tsing Hui's heart skipped a beat. "I happen to have some. When I was traveling, I was lucky enough to obtain four treasures of Dao."
"Four Daoist Rhymes? That's great! You've succeeded. If you're willing to contribute these four Daoist Rhymes to the Purple Cloud Palace, we can go to the Purple Cloud Palace and ask you to enter the Sutra Holding Pavilion and choose an immortal technique as a reward."
Daoist Purple Cloud's eyes were filled with hope.
"I want to compete for one of the ten spots in the Fortune Grand Banquet and comprehend the Fortune Divine Jade. These four Dao …"
"Comprehend the Fortune Divine Jade?"
Daoist Purple Cloud sized up Tsing Hui and calmed down a little. "You're not over a hundred years old?"
"Nope."
"Well … It's indeed impressive to reach the peak of the Blue Netherworld Realm before the age of a hundred, but you'll have to face the geniuses carefully groomed by the six supreme sects and many first-rate sects. They might not be much weaker than you. Judging from the strength of the top ten in the past Fortune Grand Banquets, they're usually in the Prominent Divine Stage or even the True Energy Stage …"
"Prominent Divine Stage? True Energy Stage? "
"That's right. The top six of the six supreme sects in the last Fortune Grand Banquet were all in the True Energy Stage without exception. The first and third places have all cultivated saint grade True Energy. Their futures are limitless."
"The top six require the cultivation of the Saint Realm, so I naturally have no chance of competing. However, I can compete for the rankings from the seventh to the tenth. In fact, I could have broken through to the Vision Divine Stage long ago, but I have been stuck at the peak of the Blue Underworld Realm because I wanted to lay a good foundation and cultivate a Divine Grade Battle Body. If the Creation Pageant is held a year later, I am confident that I can reach the Vision Divine Stage and condense a Divine Grade Battle Body within a year."
"Divine-grade battle body?!"
Spiritual Master Zi Yuan couldn't help but gasp when he heard these few words.
He carefully sized up Tsing Hui and indeed felt a vast and profound aura from Tsing Hui. Although he was at the peak of the Blue Netherworld Realm, he was undoubtedly much stronger than ordinary peak Blue Netherworld Realm experts.
A genius!
This was a true prodigy of the heavens!
It would be a waste if such a genius was not accepted into the sect.
"If Your Excellency Dong Yang really wants to participate in the Fortune Grand Banquet, it's not impossible … However, would Your Excellency please come with me to the Purple Cloud Palace?"
Tsing Hui nodded. The strongest experts in the Purple Cloud Palace were the few Transcendent Realm experts. Due to the lack of trade between the Fortune Continent and the Heaven Wasteland World, there weren't many divine weapons on the Fortune Continent. With the help of the ninth-grade flying sword, even if he encountered danger in the Purple Cloud Palace, he could rely on the divine technique to force his way out.
"I'm just about to visit the Si Family at the Purple Cloud Palace to ask about these mysterious runes."
"Alright, let's not delay any longer. When we arrive at the Purple Cloud Palace, I'll definitely give Your Excellency a satisfactory answer."
