Chapter 476: Chapter 475: Immortal Artifact!

“Senior Kurong, do you know who this person is and why they are pursuing me?”

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

The old monk Kurong shook his head and transmitted a message: “Once one cultivates to the realm of Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, or Primordial Spirit, they often possess incredible abilities and can obscure heavenly secrets to some extent.”

“I don’t know this person’s identity, nor can I discern it. If I proactively divined it, it might alert them and cause big trouble.”

After thinking for a moment, he seriously advised, “However, I vaguely saw this person strike Mr. Chu with a Xuanyin Divine Thunder. What happened afterward, I don’t know, but this thunder technique is related to the Demon Dao. Mr. Chu should be aware of this in the future.”

Xuanyin Divine Thunder? Demon Dao?

Gu Yuan’s heart stirred, remembering these words, and then said, “Thank you for the reminder, senior.”

The old monk Kurong shook his head: “I can’t help you with this matter, please don’t blame me. But seeing you seem to be in a hurry, could it be that you are also heading to Luofu Immortal City’s Treasure Exchange Conference?”

“Indeed.”

Gu Yuan nodded, feeling a bit strange inside.

The old monk Kurong calmly said, “If that’s the case, the journey ahead is still somewhat distant. If Mr. Chu doesn’t mind, you can accompany me on the way.”

“Then I thank you, senior.”

Gu Yuan naturally did not refuse.

The scene of the Thunder Beast clashing with this group of monks was vivid, clearly illustrating the dangers of the East Sea Cultivation Realm. Although Gu Yuan was not afraid, he found it troublesome.

If he could travel with this group of monks to Luofu Immortal City, there would be no need to expend so much mental effort.

Moreover, Gu Yuan could tell that the old monk Kurong was rather kind, and he could consult him on some matters along the way.

Especially regarding some things about Central Earth.

The old monk Kurong hailed from Central Earth, and the force behind him was one of the Buddhist Sect’s Sacred Lands, with quite a background, so presumably, he was well-versed in Central Earth.

The Cultivation Realm of Central Earth is as renowned as that of the East Sea, rich in resources and talents, and in some places, it’s even more prosperous than the East Sea Cultivation Realm.

Gu Yuan was quite curious about Central Earth and wanted to take the opportunity to learn more.

Yu Qiubai had no objections to this; he realized that following Gu Yuan might not bring benefits but he wouldn’t suffer losses. Even if they encountered danger, Gu Yuan could handle it.

So, what he needed to do was avoid being a burden to Gu Yuan.

…

In the following journey, Gu Yuan, Yu Qiubai, and the old monk Kurong’s group joined together, heading to Luofu Immortal City.

While traveling, Gu Yuan didn’t idle.

He took the opportunity to chat with the old monk Kurong.

This old monk, as a Yin Spirit level giant, was indeed remarkable; even among the Yin Spirit level, he was one of the elite.

He was experienced in cultivation, and due to his long life span, he was quite knowledgeable.

Knowing this was a rare opportunity, Gu Yuan sought the old monk’s guidance on some cultivation issues.

The Daoist Scrirpture Gu Yuan cultivated actually belonged to the Daoist Sect, different from the Buddhist Sect system. However, as they say, all great paths eventually meet, and there are always similarities. Moreover, the old monk was knowledgeable and widely skilled, well-informed about the Daoist cultivation path.

Thus, Gu Yuan gained much benefit.

The old monk Kurong also intended to establish a good connection with Gu Yuan, so he didn’t hold back. Besides clearing Gu Yuan’s doubts, he shared the strange tales he knew with Gu Yuan.

He even selectively spoke about some matters related to the Buddhist Sect when Gu Yuan asked, broadening Gu Yuan’s knowledge.

This provided extensive insight into the Cultivation Realm of Central Earth.

The Cultivation Realm of Central Earth isn’t like the Southern Border, where various major cultivation sects are fragmented; on the surface, the Central Earth Cultivation Realm is led by the Great Jin Dynasty.

Many Buddhist and Taoist sects, as well as numerous small sects, occupy various small paradises and blessed lands, establishing sects, recruiting disciples, and passing down their traditions.

The relationship between these Sacred Lands, major sects, and the Great Jin Dynasty is relatively complex.

The Great Jin Dynasty’s influence is substantial, even surpassing some ancient Immortal Dao and Buddhist Sacred Lands by a margin; otherwise, its reach wouldn’t extend across Central Earth, the Western Regions, East Sea, Southern Border, and Beiming and other areas.

Because of the Great Jin Dynasty, Central Earth is strictly governed by law, with the Demon Suppression Bureau controlling everything. Even the most ancient demons and devils must act cautiously.

The current emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Mu Tianxing, is ambitious, charismatic, extraordinarily talented, and has destiny and opportunity, already reaching the Primordial Spirit True Immortal level and intending to ascend higher, making him one of the rare top figures in the world.

The most crucial thing is that it is rumored that the Great Jin Dynasty has a mysterious origin and once unearthed an ancient relic from which they obtained an Immortal Artifact, and it is precisely with this artifact that the Great Jin Dynasty could dominate Central Earth and intimidate many Daoist and Buddhist Sacred Lands.

The so-called Immortal Artifact is an object refined by an Immortal.

Of ordinary quality, it is equivalent to a Spirit Treasure, but of better quality, even a Spirit Treasure refined by a Primordial Spirit True Immortal would not compare.

The difference between an Immortal Artifact and a Spirit Treasure is rather vague.

Sometimes, certain Spirit Treasures can also be called Immortal Artifacts, because these treasures can only be refined by entities of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal level.

However, the Immortal Artifact obtained by the Great Jin Dynasty is different; legend says it was crafted by an Immortal Realm Banished Immortal.

Strictly speaking, a Golden Core is termed a Human Immortal; its essence has evolved, having a touch of immortal golden nature, and its lifespan is nearly a thousand years.

A Yang Spirit expert is termed an Earth Immortal, with vast divine techniques; its lifespan is exceedingly long, nearly ten thousand years.

A Primordial Spirit is termed a True Immortal, having attained the path to longevity, condensing the Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit.

Among them, to 99% of cultivators, a Primordial Spirit True Immortal appears eternal, undying, and akin to an Immortal.

However, in reality, during the Ancient Era, a Primordial Spirit True Immortal wasn’t truly an Immortal but was called a False Immortal, or Immortal-like being.

Even during the Ancient Times, such beings weren’t the strongest; when faced with a great tribulation of heaven and earth, they would be affected, leading to inevitable demise.

True Immortals are Heavenly Immortals! This realm is above the Primordial Spirit, allowing for daylight ascension to the Immortal Realm; even if heaven and earth were to perish, they would remain unharmed, eternally existing.

Gu Yuan’s ancestor, Immortal Changsheng, once broke through the shackles of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal realm to become a genuine Heavenly Immortal.

However, Immortal Changsheng was unfortunate. Though he successfully broke through, he was severely injured and exhausted afterward.

Thereafter, several Primordial Spirit True Immortals took the opportunity to attack, surrounding and killing Immortal Changsheng.

It’s said that the Immortal Artifact of the Great Jin Dynasty was left behind by a Banished Immortal of the Immortal Realm.

Upon hearing these rumors, Gu Yuan was quite surprised.

He hadn’t expected the Great Jin Dynasty to have such a mysterious background.
