Chapter 182 Everything Is Ready, Just Waiting for Seclusion
Cui Heng sensed an aura similar to spirituality from this statue.
However, this spirituality was not dense. It was only about the level of the Hongwu Divine Sword and was still very weak.
However, if the worship period was long enough, perhaps a new living being would be born from this statue.
At that time, would this living being think that he was the “Dao God”?!!
Cui Heng’s thoughts were a little scattered, and he felt the profundity of spirituality. He had a feeling that when he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he might have the ability to give spirituality to dead things. “Exalted Immortal, did you discover something?” Zhang Shuming saw Cui Heng looking at the Dao God statue for a long time without saying anything and felt a little uneasy.
“Nothing.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and asked with a smile, “How long has this Dao God statue been worshiped here?”
“It’s been 3,000 years.” Zhang Shuming sighed slightly. “This statue was actually carved anew after the war 3,000 years ago. The original statue has already been moved to the Heavenly Void World with the relocation of the main body of Daoyi Palace.”
“No wonder.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and said, “Bring me to see the other places.”
At the same time, he gave the system an order.
“Currency conversion!”
Daoyi Palace was indeed an ancient inheritance that had lasted for 10,000 years.
Even though the main body was no longer around, it still provided Cui Heng with a lot of system currency.
There were more than 8 million coins!
It could be said to be a great harvest.
After leaving Daoyi Palace, Cui Heng returned to Changfeng Prefecture City and headed to the Cangcheng Mountain’s Immortal Dawn Sect with Zheng Nanxun.
“Ancestral Grandmaster, many disciples in the sect have yet to meet you. They will definitely be very happy to see you,” Zheng Nanxun said happily.
“I’ve long wanted to come and take a look, but I haven’t had the time. I’m finally free this time.” Cui Heng smiled and looked at the mountain hidden in the clouds in front of him.
“Ancestral Grandmaster, how long do you plan to stay on the mountain this time?” Zheng Nanxun asked again. To her, Cui Heng was like a patriarch, the pillar of support for the entire Immortal Dawn Sect. She naturally hoped that Cui Heng could stay in Cangcheng Mountain for a longer time.
“Not long.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and stood on the auspicious cloud with his hands behind his back. He said indifferently, “My cultivation is about to enter a new stage. I’ll be in seclusion for a period of time.
After we reach Cangcheng Mountain and meet the disciples, I’ll answer your questions about cultivation. At that time, you can ask any questions you have.”
“Thank you, Ancestral Grandmaster!” Zheng Nanxun was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly bowed to Cui Heng.
“There’s no need to always bow.” Cui Heng waved his hand and chuckled. “After the lecture, bring me to some of the places your master used to live.”
Actually, he had come to the Immortal Dawn Sect mainly to see the inheritance left behind by Jiang Qiqi, as well as what the place she had lived in was like and if there was any information left behind.
“Yes, Ancestor Grandmaster. Disciple will remember it!” Zheng Nanxun nodded solemnly.
….
The disciples of the Immortal Dawn Sect were very surprised by Cui Heng’s sudden arrival.
Perfected Zhu Qing, Liu Yiyun, Chen Ying, and the other ordinary disciples walked out of their rooms to welcome Cui Heng.
Even Perfected Shenxia, who had been living in seclusion in the back mountain for a long time and had almost appeared, rushed out and knelt in front of Cui Heng, calling him Ancestral Grandmaster.
She was Jiang Qiqi’s first disciple, Zheng Nanxun’s senior sister.
Then, Cui Heng began to explain and answer questions, allowing all the disciples present to ask questions.
He had explained the Immortal Dawn Sword Art in extreme detail.
At the same time, he also explained the situation of the Heavenly Void World to all the disciples of the Immortal Dawn Sect, lest they still knew nothing about the Heavenly Void World in the future.
After the lecture ended, Cui Heng, Zheng Nanxun, and Perfected Shenxia arrived outside a cave in the back mountain.
The entrance to this cave was sealed by two stone doors. Clearly, someone had lived here before.
“When Master was still around, she lived here,” Zheng Nanxun explained to Cui Heng. “We also tried to persuade Master to live in a separate palace, but she didn’t agree. Until she disappeared, she lived here.”
“Ever since Master left, we haven’t been able to open this stone door,” Perfected Shenxia said. “Master once said that only by cultivating the Immortal Dawn Sword Art to the peak of perfection can we open these two stone doors.”
At this point, she lowered her head in shame. “This disciple is slow-witted. I haven’t touched the threshold of the peak of the sword technique yet.”
“You’ll reach it in the future.” Cui Heng smiled and nodded, encouraging the two of them. Then, he flicked his finger at the two stone doors.
Immediately, a ray of light burst out from his fingertips.
Immediately after, colorful light enveloped the stone door, as if it had melted some kind of restriction, causing the two stone doors to make a sound.
Rumble!
The stone door that had been sealed for hundreds of years finally opened slowly.
Cui Heng walked in. Zheng Nanxun and Perfected Shenxia did not follow.
As Jiang Qiqi’s disciples, it was very much against the rules for them to rashly enter this cave.
Therefore, out of respect for Jiang Qiqi, neither of them mentioned this matter.
Cui Heng knew this very well and did not say anything
After passing through the stone door and walking through a slightly narrow path, everything became clear.
Jiang Qiqi had built a meditation room at the end of the cave.
The layout and appearance were identical to the Meditation Chamber in Cui Heng’s Beginner’s Hut. Even the arrangement of the equipment was the same as when Jiang Qiqi was about to leave on the last day.
Clearly, she had remembered her experience in the Beginner’s Space.
Then, Cui Heng looked around but did not find any messages, nor was there anything to read.
This made him frown. He thought to himself, “Qiqi didn’t leave any messages here?”
From the conditions for the stone door to open, it should have been specially left behind by Jiang Qiqi for him to see.
This was because only he could release Immortal Dawn sword light that met the requirements.
This meant that unless one destroyed the stone doors with violence, only he could open
it.
If Jiang Qiqi wanted to leave a message for him, she could have written what she wanted to say and placed it here.
When he arrived, he would naturally be able to see it.
But that was not the case.
There was nothing here. There was no effective information at all.
This puzzled Cui Heng.
No matter how he thought about it, it was abnormal to have meticulously prepared such a meditation room without leaving anything behind.
After all, it was not that Jiang Qiqi did not want to leave any information.
In order to leave a letter, she had forged five Immortal swords. She had also constructed the connection between the Immortal swords and set up an extremely secretive way to read the letter.
It could be said that she had taken a lot of effort to set up obstacles, even resulting in all kinds of damage to the information.
“Perhaps this empty meditation room without any messages is what Qiqi wanted to leave for me?” Cui Heng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He felt that this was very likely.
She could have left a message in a convenient way, but she did not do so. Instead, she chose an extremely secretive but inconvenient way to leave a message.
This meant that compared to the completeness of the message and the convenience of leaving a message, Jiang Qiqi was more concerned about the confidentiality and security of the message she had left. She did not want others to see it.
“If that’s the case, the situation in this chamber can be understood.” Cui Heng thought to himself, “Although the stone door is firm, it can also be destroyed. Putting the letter in here is obviously not confidential enough. It’s normal that she didn’t choose it.
And for her to care so much about secrecy and safety, is she afraid of a powerful existence, afraid that the other party will find the message? Is it related to the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace?”
After all, the information that Jiang Qiqi had left behind was about the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace.
It could be seen how important it was.
However, according to the ancient books of Beichen, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace should have disappeared 3,000 years ago.
The Mystic Deity elder of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace was suspected to have fallen into madness and was jointly sealed in the core of the earth, becoming the so-called Unparalleled Demon. The power of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace should have long disappeared from the world.
Where did Jiang Qiqi obtain the information about the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace a hundred years ago and why was she so afraid?
If she wasn’t afraid of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace, why did she leave messages in the Immortal Swords?
Many doubts appeared in Cui Heng’s mind.
“Previously, I didn’t find any new ancient books in Daoyi Palace. It seems that if I want to understand the situation further, I have to make a trip to the Heavenly Void World.
“However, I still have to nurture a Nascent Soul first.”
At this point, Cui Heng temporarily suppressed his doubts and walked out of the cave, closing the two stone doors again.
Next, he stayed on Cangcheng Mountain for three more days and continued to answer the doubts of the Immortal Dawn Sect’s disciples.
At the same time, he expanded the realm of the Immortal Dawn Sword Art.
He increased the cultivation upper limit of the sword art to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
After doing this, Cui Heng left Cangcheng Mountain and began to wander between the thousand-year-old sects, aristocratic families, and various famous historical sites.
In less than ten days, his system currency had increased to more than 27 million.
This was almost the limit of what he could gather in the entire Great Jin.
Every place had been emptied.
If he wanted to continue converting system currency, he could only find a new place.
However, in the 36 states of the world, other than the 11 states of the Great Jin, there were almost no civilized places.
“This means that if I don’t go to the Heavenly Void World, I won’t even have the money to buy the system’s services?” Cui Heng couldn’t help but be speechless.
At the same time, he was glad.
Fortunately, Great Jin had some foundation. Now that he had converted enough currency, he could use it to buy the Grotto-Heaven’s one-month experience card and overtime card.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a safe place to break through to the Nascent Soul realm for him.
“Now that everything is ready, I can enter seclusion to nurture a Nascent Soul!”
