Chapter 136: Chapter 44: Legacy of a Past Life

After hearing Li Jizhou’s words, the Zhou family members retreated three more steps.

“Senior, I wonder how our Zhou family has offended you? This old body is willing to make amends!” Zhou Zimei spoke cautiously, probing.

“Hmph!” Li Jizhou snorted coldly, and the Flying Ship soared into the sky, landing beneath the cliff in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhou Zimei frowned secretly.

It seems this fierce and unfathomable senior’s target is the tomb at the cliff face!

“Li Cangyuan, oh Li Cangyuan, even in death, why have you left us with such a conundrum?

What on earth are hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron?”

Li Cangyuan was the name of Li Jizhou in his previous life.

With puppets standing beside them, they dared not move an inch, only waiting for Li Jizhou to ascend.

The Flying Ship carried Li Jizhou slowly down the cliff. At a height of a hundred zhang from the ground, a hidden cave came into view.

The cave entrance had obviously been artificially excavated.

Li Jizhou landed deftly at the cave entrance.

On a stone tablet at the entrance were the words he left in his previous life: Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron.

Beside these words, each had a polished protrusion.

This was the array hub mechanism of the Tier Two Array here,

Li Jizhou had already set the passcode into the array hub, requiring anyone to write the correct answer at the polished protrusion to activate the array.

Clearly, the Zhou family had also figured this out, but they were not transmigrators from Earth and naturally didn’t know the corresponding passcode. They had written all sorts of random gibberish on the polished protrusions.

“May the Immortal Dao be evergreen!”

“Rest in peace, Senior Li.”

“Master, please rest in peace.”

…

“I love Li Cangyuan.”

“Li Cangyuan is a dog.”

“?” Li Jizhou raised an eyebrow slightly.

He felt this was likely written by Zhou Zimei.

And it was written after many attempts, in exasperation.

He laughed freely, shaking his head.

Then, from among the various writings, he focused on the words “Master.”

“I wonder which disciple it was?”

In his past life with the Zhou family, he had taught a few disciples, and later, during the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he taught another two at the guild.

Shaking off these chaotic thoughts, Li Jizhou used Magical Power to write on the protruding stone tablet: Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon.

“Boom~” The array trembled instantly, shaking off layers of gray stones.

Even the Zhou family above the cliff could sense a tremor.

“The array has been activated? It wasn’t forcefully broken!”

“How did he know the passcode to Li Cangyuan’s array?”

Zhou Zimei was astonished.

Li Jizhou walked into the cave where he perished in his previous life, a heap of bones had already turned to ash after fifty-eight years of gales.

In front of the ashes was an ancient and time-worn Pill Furnace, fully covered in dust, exuding a somber aura.

Apart from this, on the left was a stone box, half buried.

Inside here were some experiences and lessons he left for future transmigrators, including the secrets of using storage bags and the Pill Furnace, all written in vernacular intermixed with pinyin, effectively preventing native cultivators from discovering the transmigrator’s situation.

On the right hand lay a storage bag, containing some pills and Jade Talismans of Alchemy Dao inheritance along with collected cultivation techniques of various attributes.

There was also the top-grade Magical Artifact flying sword he used in his previous life.

Additionally, there were over five hundred Spirit Stones.

These items could basically help a fortunate one through the most vulnerable periods of early and mid-stage Qi Cultivation.

Li Jizhou sat at the spot of his death in a past life, instantly feeling that previous life’s sense of unwillingness, disappointment, and regret.

Fortunately, the regrets of the past life still had a chance to be resolved!

This lifetime, he would step firmly, one step at a time, moving forward steadily, striving to leave no regrets!

A moment later, Li Jizhou took out all the relics, turned the stone box and the Beast Hide Scroll within it into powder, then destroyed the entire cave and flew out.

“Senior…” Zhou Zimei lowered her head anxiously.

Li Jizhou slowly scanned around, seeing no familiar faces from his previous life.

It seems most of the Zhou family members from his previous life had not managed to reach Foundation Establishment and had long turned to dust.

After a moment of silence, Li Jizhou tossed over the cultivation techniques and Alchemy Dao inheritances from his past life.

Then he retrieved the puppets, and the Flying Ship shot up, heading to the final target.

“A Golden Core grand cultivator, or a Tier Four Talisman Master… at least Late Stage of Golden Core, with my current strength, I might still not be able to obtain it!”

In his past life, when he borrowed the quasi-Tier Three Spirit Vein of the Du Xian Sect to attempt Core Formation, at the stage where his Divine Soul fused with the world, he suddenly felt something and sensed the tomb beneath the Spirit Vein.

In that instant, with the help of the might of heaven and earth, his Divine Sense peered into the tomb’s interior.

However, it was just that fleeting moment,

he only obtained two key pieces of information: a Golden Core cultivator, a Tier Four Talisman Master!

Everything else remained a mystery.

Later, he failed at Core Formation, suffered severe backlash, and had no further opportunity to explore.

Ten years later, he healed his injuries, but his foundation was damaged, his realm fell, and he couldn’t even enter the core area of the Spirit Vein of Du Xian Sect, naturally losing all chances.

In his previous life’s memory, the body of the Golden Core cultivator remained unperished, if it weren’t for being shrouded in death aura, it was indistinguishable from a living person.

In this world, if a cultivator doesn’t form a True Core, after death, they undergo the five decays of nature, reverting to the mundane, their body even rots quickly as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within is reclaimed by nature.

Once Core Formation is achieved, even with a fake pill, a trace of Dao Charm can linger after death, and a Golden Core could potentially achieve an imperishable golden body, with the body not decaying post-mortem!

“If it can be done, do your best; if not, never force it!” On the way to the Du Xian Sect, Li Jizhou had made up his mind. He wouldn’t take risks.

As for opportunities that might be missed due to being too cautious, he had long seen through them.

How can there be a perfect plan in the world?

Half a month later, the first immortal sect in the Liang Kingdom, Du Xian Sect, came into view.

According to records, the sect wasn’t originally called this name, but as more people started calling it that and since this name was even better than the original, it was eventually officially changed.

The reason why many people call it Du Xian Sect,

is because over the past several thousand years, at least over a dozen Core Formation cultivators have emerged from here, though most of them were fake pills.

Once someone achieves Core Formation here, they cross the north, searching for a better Spirit Vein land to cultivate.

Because the quasi-Tier Three Spirit Vein here is barely sufficient for attempting Core Formation, but post-formation cultivation here would consume the entire vein, leaving others unable to cultivate.

So, many people jokingly refer to this as the place where true immortals cross over yet true immortals can’t be retained.

Additionally, Du Xian Sect has a tradition, and it is this tradition that has ensured its enduring position.

Anyone within the Liang Kingdom who reaches Perfect Foundation Establishment can undertake some formal tasks for Du Xian Sect and then attempt Core Formation here.

After all, if successful, they would leave, posing no threat to their status, and they could gain favor.

And those who fail owe them a favor, posing no threat either.

“Where did that Golden Core cultivator come from, when did they arrive, and why did they perish there?” This was something Li Jizhou couldn’t figure out.

Soon, Li Jizhou’s Flying Ship landed on a solitary peak a hundred miles outside of Du Xian Sect.

He released Guagua, cautioning carefully: “Remember, observe from afar, do not act rashly, and return immediately if there are abnormalities.”

With this said, he placed a Tier Two Concealment Talisman on Guagua’s chin.

Guagua, a Tier Two Mid Stage Demon Beast, adept at burrowing and concealment, coupled with the Tier Two Concealment Talisman, was difficult for a Late Stage of Foundation Establishment to detect.

Moreover, that Golden Core cultivator’s resting place was deep underground, making it impossible for the Divine Sense of a Late Stage of Foundation Establishment standing on the ground to investigate.
