...
For the old monk, he just stood there looking at this Hidden World's beauty.
For someone who lived for thousands of years, it was the first time he saw a wonderful view.
Floating island, high realmed beasts, high quality disciples, but what surprised him the most was the towering tree right which frequently purposely drop it's leaves on a certain fountain below it.
Although he was kilometres away from it, he can tell that the water on that fountain is filled with vitality.
The old monk named Xiang Ping, he also have another title, which is called the 'Wandering Guardian.' Others don't know, but he's an elder of a certain temple in the farlands also known as the 'Heavenly Temple'.
The Heavenly Temple deployed him here to prevent those so-called 'outsiders' from invading this large area.
Of course, for him, as a member of the Heavenly Temple he had naturally saw countless magnificent works of powerhouses. But this time, it was a first for him.
Just by looking at that floating island, one can tell that a powerhouse did it.
But... How could he know that it was just an item that came from the Lin Shu's system?
'Just by taking a sip from that fountain, my degressing realm and vitality would be healed...'
For an old timer like him, he can tell that this tree and fountain is a treasure of high value.
A hint of greed flashed before his eyes. For the first time in his life, it was the first time he had ever wanted to steal something.
But, when he looked at the thousands of Nirvana Tribulation, his greed vanished. Especially after being stared at by seven Peak Divine Origin Realm, in which, each on of them can leapfrog him.
Cheng Weizhe looked at where the old monk was staring at and said: "The Sect Master calls the tree the 'Tree of Life', and that magnificent looking fountain the 'Fountain of Life'. 99% of the leaves which contain large amounts of vitality are swallowed by the fountain, causing the concentration of vitality in the fountain to increase every time as long as the tree kept feeding it with leaves."
"Now... You should know the strength of this sect right?"
"This..." Although he was tempted to surrender to this sect, but his identity as a guardian sent by the Heavenly Temple still exists.
And once news about him vanishing, the Heavenly Temple would undoubtedly send a powerhouse to search for him which is a hassle.
But...
The temptation of the high concentration of aura in the air broke that thin layer of paper which blocked his sanity from joining this sect.
Taking a deep breath, he said: "I'd like to join this sect."
...
When Lin Shu was stabilizing his realm, he suddenly heard a dinging sound, as he expected, he received a reward for breaking through another realm yet again.
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Nascent Soul Realm warrior!]
[Rewards: Multiplier card(1,000x) + second volume of the Ancestral Golden Dragon Cultivation Manual.
But, when he heard that robotic, emotionless sound containing the information about his 'breakthrough', he was all wrong, he was dumbfounded.
"Nascent Soul Realm Warrior? How?"
He closed his eyes, then used his Divine perception to look around the hidden world.
When he looked at a certain old person's figure, he thought he was blind, but, he cannot see through old person.
Just like an abyss, when he further used his perception, he found out that, hidden behind that abyss lies a very powerful strength hidden.
The old monk, who was looking around with his apricot eyes wide opened sensed something and looked at a certain direction which Lin Shu is located at.
'Fuck!'
He quickly retracted his perception when he saw the old monk suddenly turned his head from where he is at.
"This should be the Nascent Soul Realm warrior right?"
"...But, why did he join this sect?"
"All those put aside, I fucking got the second volume of the Ancestral Golden Dragon Cultivation Manual?!"
Realizing what he got, he suddenly felt that countless information suddenly invaded his brain and as if a terrifying force is forcibly implanting these sorts of knowledge into his brain.
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through the Divine Origin Realm]
[Rewards: 3x Saint Blood Pill(Nirvana Grader Immortal Rank)]
10 Minutes later...
'Phew!...'
"Well that's a shit ton of knowledge."
On the knowledge he got, when running the technique, countless hollowed out scales will appear on his body. These scales will then increase the absorption of Aura in the air, at the same time, these scales, under the constant pouring of aura will then turn some of them into a Draconic Qi which is then required to have when using the Fighting Techniques contained on the Second Volume which are:
Draconic Wings
Draconic Spear
Dragon's Roar
etc.
"Sect Master, there's an old monk named Xiang Ping who needs a bottle from the Fountain of Life in exchange for serving and joining our sect." A mental transmission sounded before him.
He raised one of his eyebrows and replied: "To be able to cultivate on this wasteland and reaching Nascent Soul Realm, have you asked who's behind that old fella?"
"Well.." The transmissioned voice paused for a bit then continued: "He said that he came from this place called Heavenly Temple in the farlands."
"Hm.... Heavenly Temple you say? Can you explain what this so-called Heavenly Temple is from his mouth?"
...
"He said that the master of the Heavenly Temple is someone from the Peak of Earth Immortal Realm. And that was before he left the Heavenly Temple to fulfil a certain mission in exchange for a heavenly pill."
