Chapter 159: Chapter 81: Founding Ancestor? !
This was just a moment of inspiration for Shen Yuan, with no great uses.
Shen Yuan then focused on the next item, the final gain from his expedition to Yunfu Mountains, the Life Origin Stone gifted to him by the Yunfu Mountain Lord.
This Life Origin Stone was merely human-sized, its outline resembling a constantly transforming human-like figure, seemingly reflecting the myriad forms of life itself.
Shen Yuan did not intend to utilize the Gods Purging Divine Power to pursue the path of Divinity through Incense Offering.
The Path of Divinity through Incense Offering had too many restrictions. Even if he held the Gods Purging Divine Power in his own hands, he still had no certainty about it.
The Heavenly Court Emperor, the previous possessor of Gods Purging Divine Power, had fallen; Shen Yuan was skeptical about this path, hence the Life Origin Stone did not offer him as significant assistance as the Incense Offering Divinity Path.
What remained was its value as the medium for practicing the External Incarnation Technique.
Although the External Incarnation Technique was just a Profound Divine Power, its famous reputation was no less than some Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers. To cultivate it required considerable efforts.
With a moment of reflection, Shen Yuan nonchalantly placed the Life Origin Stone under the jujube tree, allowing the falling dead leaves to gradually cover it.
Besides these three significant rewards, Shen Yuan had garnered a multitude of other things on his journey to Yunfu Mountains.
For example, the “Elemental Qi Fusion Method of Heaven and Earth”, spirit objects bought in the auction house, Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens’ edict.
However, these things were not valuable enough to draw Shen Yuan’s attention, hence he didn’t bother to catalogue them in detail.
Having witnessed the true value of the Storage Ring in his travels, for Shen Yuan, who possessed Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, common spirit objects had lost their value.
As long as Shen Yuan was willing to create Storage Rings, he could buy as many common spirit objects as he wanted.
What truly attracted him were rare spirit objects and ancient manuscripts.
After a brief tidying, Shen Yuan’s focus turned back to his real objective of this trip to Yunfu Market – the completion of the main mission: Mastering Hundreds of Cultivation Skills.
Among the requirements of the Mastering Hundreds of Cultivation Skills mission, Shen Yuan had yet to initiate talisman and puppetry out of the six major categories. However, throughout the past month, he had already achieved some insights. What he truly lacked were some spirit materials.
With this in mind, Shen Yuan took out from his Storage Ring the Spiritual Sword Talisman, spirit brush, spirit paper, and the “Sword Manual for Drawing Talismans” that he had acquired from Kuang Tianjie.
Sitting in front of the stone table, Shen Yuan started browsing with interest through the combination of swordcraft and talisman techniques in the “Sword Manual for Drawing Talismans”.
Just like a large Bodhi tree, the stars shimmered around the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation, and their light showered down, enlightening Shen Yuan’s mind. The confusing and difficult talisman scriptures were quickly absorbed by Shen Yuan.
Time passed differently inside the Secret Realm. As Shen Yuan put down the “Sword Manual for Drawing Talismans”, two full days had already passed in the outside world.
However, within the Secret Realm, with the supply of Spirit Energy and the enlightening power of the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation, Shen Yuan’s state remained at its peak, completely uneffected by the fatigue of studying scripture and dharma.
Setting aside the “Sword Manual for Drawing Talismans”, Shen Yuan pulled out a yellow talisman paper.
This talisman paper was refined from a special Spiritual Bamboo grown by the Talisman Sword Sect, which was superior to common talisman paper. Shen Yuan only needed to gently infuse it with Mana to feel the smooth flow of energy within.
Using this type of talisman paper to draw talismans, one could easily meet the requirement of initial talisman crafting.
However, having just perused the “Sword Manual for Drawing Talismans”, an idea took form in Shen Yuan’s mind, and he didn’t have the intention of directly drawing a common talisman.
With the spiritual brush in hand, he began to inscribe Dao characters on the talisman paper. Under the influence of the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation, every stroke was infused with spirit energy, culminating in a network of Dao characters resembling a formation.
Upon the completion of this, Shen Yuan extended his right hand into the sky. With a crisp tone of a sword chant, a strand of invisible Sword Qi fell into Shen Yuan’s palm.
Shen Yuan slowly channeled this strand of Sword Qi into the talisman paper, which began to tremble lightly as if it might tear at any moment.
However, the densely arranged Dao runes around it continued to suppress the fluctuations of the Sword Qi, eventually forming a pattern on the talisman that looked just like a Darkness-Light Sword.
Sensing the Sword Qi within it, Shen Yuan was certain that this seemingly fragile talisman could easily kill a cultivator at the Qi Transformation Stage – something that an ordinary first-grade talisman could not accomplish.
“I shall call it the Spiritual Sword Talisman.”
As his words fell, the system interface in front of Shen Yuan suddenly flickered.
System: Congratulations to the host for successfully creating the Spiritual Sword Talisman, thus mastering the Art of Inscription and completing one of the Hundred Cultivation Skills.
Shen Yuan carefully stored the talisman paper and turned his gaze to the last puppet.
As for puppet-making, Shen Yuan had already accumulated a lot of experience. The only issue he faced previously was the lack of Spirit Wood as a material for making them.
Now that he had procured a substantial amount of Spirit Wood, creating puppets was entirely an effortless task.
He took out the Ironwood from his storage ring and sat at the stone table to start crafting the puppet.
As each inscription was engraved on the puppet’s body, the less-than-half-a- meter-tall humanoid puppet gradually took shape.
The whole process went very smoothly. The abundant Spirit Energy in the environment meant there was no need to install spirit stones for the puppet to operate easily.
The final spiritual pattern was easily outlined, and the whole puppet was completely formed, the puppet now imbued with a different kind of life force.
He casually placed the small puppet that was less than half a meter tall on the ground. After turning it around, the puppet began to pick up the Spirit Wood from the ground and work with a “tinkling” sound.
A moment later, the puppet shouldered a hoe made of Ironwood and headed towards the outer areas of the courtyard, beginning to cultivate the wasteland in the Courtyard Secret Realm.
System: Congratulations to the host for successfully creating a first-grade puppet, thus mastering puppet-making and completing another one of the Hundred Cultification Skills.
With the completion of the last skill in the main quest: Hundred Cultivation Skills, golden text finally appeared in front of Shen Yuan’s eyes.
Hundred Cultivation Skills: Please proceed to the scripture depository and choose one of the hundred cultivation arts to learn. The more arts the host is proficient in, the richer the rewards received. (Completed)
System: Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the main quest Hundred Cultivation Skills!
System: After testing, it has been found that the host has mastered all major classes of Hundred Cultivation Skills. The main rewards are significantly increased.
Upon seeing the system text in front of him, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but shiver with excitement.
“Finally, it’s here!”
Whether it was joining the Dao Inquiry Forum and building the scripture depository, or going to Yunfu market, Shen Yuan’s original intention was to complete this main quest.
Now that the main quest was within reach, even Shen Yuan couldn’t help being slightly stirred.
In Shen Yuan’s sight, the words on the system interface fluctuated, and then a clear string of text appeared in front of him.
System: Congratulations to the host for mastering all Hundred Cultivation Skills and becoming an All-Round Genius. As a reward, your sect status has been upgraded by two levels.
“What?” Shen Yuan was somewhat dumbfounded but the characters on the system interface continued to jump.
System: The host has been successfully promoted from an external disciple to #%¥ @, the Sect Master has successfully been promoted to the Supreme Elder @…*—#% has been successfully promoted to the Founding Ancestor!
