Chapter 38: Celestial Treasure Pavilion

Hearing Pei Zhen’s words, Xu Zhengyang recalled the few Heavenly Profound Sect members he and Chen Qiang had encountered when they went to bathe in the Earth‑Heart Spirit Nectar.

Then Xu Zhengyang shook his head and said, “The Heavenly Profound Sect is rather ordinary. It’s just that I don’t know if the Azure Peak Sword Sect has any formidable figures.”

“You brat, the Heavenly Profound Sect is a prestigious orthodox sect on par with our True Essence Sect! They are no easy opponents; don’t underestimate them!”

Pei Zhen tapped Xu Zhengyang’s head.

Then he explained to Xu Zhengyang, “That Du Yifeng is merely a guest‑elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect and an incomplete body cultivator. What powerful disciples could he possibly have produced?”

At the very end, disdain filled Pei Zhen’s eyes.

Curious, Xu Zhengyang asked, “May I ask, Master, what is the Heavenly Profound Sect’s strength?”

At these words, Pei Zhen’s face reflected fond memories.

He said, “The Heavenly Profound Sect’s sect‑establishing cultivation method is called the ‘Heavenly Profound Canon.’ This method is quite unique. For outsiders practicing it, it is at most an art cultivator’s method with somewhat improved breathing‑and‑circulation pace, nothing remarkable. But if a Heavenly Profound‑Sect Zhang family member cultivates it, even in Qi Refining they can directly awaken a supernatural ability!”

“Supernatural ability?”

Xu Zhengyang was astonished by this.

Previously, when he was compiling the Scripture Repository’s catalogue of collected cultivation techniques, he had also read the descriptions of various methods gathered by the True Essence Sect.

According to the information Xu Zhengyang had obtained, a cultivator could only comprehend the matching supernatural ability of a method after forming a Foundation and refining magical power, before cultivating a second‑tier technique.

For example, in the True Essence Sect’s Scripture Repository, they had collected methods such as the second‑tier ‘Lei Yin Formula’ paired with the Palm‑Lightning supernatural ability; and other lower‑tier techniques like Blood‑Transformation method with the Blood‑Escape ability.

Precisely because of this, Xu Zhengyang curiously asked Pei Zhen, “Master, could you tell me what the Heavenly Profound Canon’s corresponding supernatural ability is? That way I can prepare in advance.”

“That is exactly the trouble.”

Pei Zhen said helplessly, “After Zhang family members of the Heavenly Profound Sect cultivate the Heavenly Profound Canon, each person’s awakened supernatural ability is different. So even I do not know what wondrous ability this generation of Zhang family disciples possess.”

At this,

Pei Zhen added, “It is said among the people that the Heavenly Profound Zhang family carries some special ancient bloodline, hence these marvelous variations.”

“I see. Then the Heavenly Profound Zhang family is indeed somewhat troublesome…”

Xu Zhengyang nodded, then focused his mind into the Jade Gourd and looked at the various White‑Phosphorus Bombs he had placed inside in advance.

Then he confidently told Pei Zhen, “But I also have means to deal with them!”

“Mm.”

Pei Zhen nodded and said, “Of course Master believes in you.”

While speaking,

Pei Zhen took a small storage bag out from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Zhengyang, saying, “As per tradition, they will not miss this lively event. The Celestial Treasure Pavilion will surely come to join the excitement. In seven days, the Sunset‑Cloud Blessed Land will open. If Master’s prediction is correct, the Celestial Treasure Pavilion will sail near our Floating‑Mist Mountains before then. Here is some spending money; if there’s anything you wish to buy, you can board at that time.”

Previously, when Chen Qiang brought Xu Zhengyang to snatch the Earth‑Heart Spirit Nectar, Xu Zhengyang had heard Ma Zhiyuan mention the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

The Seven‑Star Technique‑Breaking Sword that Chen Qiang gifted Yang Hong also came from the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

At the time, Xu Zhengyang hadn’t paid it much mind, merely assuming the Celestial Treasure Pavilion was like an auction house.

But now.

From what Pei Zhen said, this Celestial Treasure Pavilion seemed to be a flying boat?

“Then I definitely have to go take a look.”

Xu Zhengyang spoke as he accepted the storage pouch Pei Zhen handed him, glanced inside, and exclaimed, “So many spirit stones?”

Inside the storage pouch Pei Zhen gave him, five hundred lower‑grade spirit stones and five middle‑grade spirit stones were neatly arranged.

One middle‑grade spirit stone was worth a hundred lower‑grade spirit stones.

In the cultivation world,

A stack of talismans consisted of one hundred pieces, and one could buy a hundred talismans with just one lower‑grade spirit stone!

Seeing such a large sum,

Xu Zhengyang quickly declined, “Master, this is too much, your disciple feels unworthy!”

“Unworthy of what?”

Pei Zhen stuffed the storage pouch directly into Xu Zhengyang’s hand and said, “There are plenty of good things inside the Celestial Treasure Pavilion. By that time, let alone disciples from the other two sects, even powerful rogue cultivators nearby will surely go aboard to have a look. You are my personal disciple. If you see something you want but can’t afford it, wouldn’t that be a slap to my face?”

With that said,

Pei Zhen waved his hand, then soared up using wind control and said, “Alright, alright, I still have things to do, I’ll head back first. These next few days, prepare well. That Bodhi Fruit—you must obtain it!”

“I shall obey Master’s command!” Xu Zhengyang replied solemnly.

…

Not long after Pei Zhen left.

While Xu Zhengyang was checking his equipment in the Meditation Room in preparation for the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land, the Twilight Shadow Pavilion’s Restriction Token vibrated again.

He took it out, and Yang Hong’s voice came through:

【It’s me, Yang Hong. Is Senior Brother Xu at home?】

“What’s he doing here?”

Xu Zhengyang was a bit curious but still stopped what he was doing and asked the Su Sisters to open the door.

…

Moments later.

In the pavilion at the center of the backyard pond.

Xu Zhengyang poured a cup of fragrant tea for Yang Hong and said, “I heard Junior Brother Yang has been in secluded cultivation recently? How were the results?”

“Hehehe…”

Yang Hong chuckled.

While wolfing down the snacks served by the Su Sisters, he confidently told Xu Zhengyang, “After mastering this technique. Let alone you, Senior Brother Xu. Even that madwoman from Spirit Mechanism Peak—I’m confident I can fight her!”

“Oh?”

Although Xu Zhengyang was very curious, he knew Yang Hong was also a contender for the Bodhi Fruit, so he didn’t press further.

He only said, “Then I look forward to it.”

Yang Hong wasn’t afraid of burning his mouth as he gulped down the tea in one go, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, “Senior Brother Xu, I came today to discuss two matters with you.”

Xu Zhengyang refilled his cup and said, “Go ahead.”

Yang Hong became uncharacteristically serious and said to Xu Zhengyang, “That madwoman from Spirit Mechanism Peak just came to me. She said the Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect will be entering the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land with us to compete for that once‑in‑a‑millennium Bodhi Fruit. If outsiders take that fruit, we’ll be laughed at by fellow cultivators across Qingzhou for the next ten years. Precisely because of that, that madwoman asked me to speak with you—this time, the three of us should first join forces to eliminate the disciples of the other sects. Then we can compete among ourselves to determine the ownership of the Bodhi Fruit!”

Yang Hong’s proposal didn’t conflict with Xu Zhengyang’s interests.

So Xu Zhengyang promptly agreed, “Alright!”

But immediately after,

Xu Zhengyang added, “But words alone are not enough. The three of us must swear together with our Dao hearts. Only then can I fully trust the two of you.”
