An Immortal God Cave Abode?
A flicker of doubt flashed through Jiang Yuechu's eyes.
Regarding the matters of Immortal Gods, she had heard the Xu Family's Uncle Xun mention them a few times when she first entered Yunmeng Township.
However, back then, she had only treated it as legends and anecdotes, never taking it to heart.
Now, hearing True Lord Linghan's implication, could it be that Immortal Gods truly existed in Yunmeng Township?
Seeing Jiang Yuechu show some interest, the Linghan Deacon stopped being mysterious. He quickly stepped aside and said, "This place is crowded and not suitable for conversation. If Junior Friend Jiang doesn't mind, why don't we move elsewhere to talk?"
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly and followed him toward the back.
A short while later.
The two moved to a quiet pavilion on the rear cliff.
A gentle breeze blew by.
True Lord Linghan personally poured a cup of spiritual tea and pushed it in front of Jiang Yuechu.
Then, he slowly spoke, "Since this is Junior Friend Jiang's first time at our Dao Sect, you likely only know the surface level of Dream Cloud Realm's power structure."
He paused, his expression turning somewhat solemn.
"Currently, whether it's Yunmeng Palace or our Nine Great Dao Sects, the supreme methods and profound Spiritual Methods we practice were not created by our predecessors... but were inherited from the Primordial Immortal Gods."
Jiang Yuechu's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused slightly.
She didn't interrupt, but simply watched him quietly.
True Lord Linghan sighed and continued, "In the Primordial Era, Immortal Gods descended to the world and reshaped this realm. However, they did not stay for long, leaving only their Disciples to manage this place on their behalf."
"Later, the Disciples of the Immortal Gods also departed one after another. The places that once served as cultivation grounds for those Disciples became what the world now calls Immortal God Cave Abodes."
"Every time an Immortal God Cave Abode appears, it means that ancient legacies, lost Spiritual Methods, and even legendary top-tier objects of dao integration will see the light of day again."
At this point, a hint of irrepressible helplessness flashed in True Lord Linghan's eyes. "Although our Nine Great Dao Sects hold a transcendent status in this Yunmeng Township, when compared to Yunmeng Palace, our Foundation is still significantly lacking."
"The Yao Race of Yunmeng Palace controls the majority of the world's Immortal God legacies, and their Foundation is unfathomably deep... If our Dao Sects wish to change this subordinate situation, the only way out is to seize the opportunities from those newly appeared Immortal God Cave Abodes before Yunmeng Palace does."
"Therefore, every time an Immortal God Cave Abode appears, the Nine Great Dao Sects spare no effort, even going as far as to mobilize the entire Sect's strength to fight for it."
Inside the pavilion.
The tea fragrance curled in the air.
Jiang Yuechu took a light sip of the spiritual tea and set the cup down.
In her heart, she had already silently deconstructed and understood True Lord Linghan's long-winded speech.
To put it simply.
Remnants left by ancient powerhouses had appeared, containing out-of-print Cultivation Techniques and top-tier equipment.
Yunmeng Palace was the industry giant monopolizing resources, while the Nine Great Dao Sects looked glamorous on the surface but had always wanted to turn the tables and become the masters.
Now, a new dungeon that could drop god-tier gear had appeared.
Everyone wanted to go in and snatch a share.
Jiang Yuechu raised her eyes and looked at True Lord Linghan, who was still sighing across from her.
"So? What does this have to do with me?"
Even if she was somewhat moved by this Immortal God Cave Abode, she didn't have any hot-headed impulses.
After all, the Immortal God Cave Abode involved the struggle for Foundations between Yunmeng Palace and the Nine Great Dao Sects. With such a massive Opportunity to change their standing, how could the Nine Great Dao Sects and Yunmeng Palace easily allow an outsider to get involved?
She was merely a newly arrived Guest Elder.
In the end, she wasn't considered a true member of the Jieqing Sect.
True Lord Linghan was momentarily stunned by her blunt words, but he quickly guessed her thoughts.
He gave a dry laugh and awkwardly set down his teacup. "Junior Friend Jiang's mind is sharp; that is indeed hitting the nail on the head... However, there's something you might not know. This Immortal God Cave Abode is not something any single power can monopolize even if they want to."
"The abodes left by Primordial Immortal Gods all have extremely harsh Restrictions. Once a Painting Realm powerhouse tries to force their way in, the abode will instantly collapse, and the legacies and treasures within will turn to ash along with it."
True Lord Linghan looked at Jiang Yuechu, his expression becoming a bit more serious. "So, those who can enter to fight for the opportunities can only be Cultivators and Yao-demons below the Painting Realm."
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly.
She hadn't expected that factor.
"Furthermore, although the Nine Great Dao Sects value these Immortal God Cave Abodes, they will never forbid other Human Race powers from entering... Quite the opposite, our Dao Sects wish for more Human Race Prodigies to step inside. The Yao Race of Yunmeng Palace is powerful and has no shortage of geniuses. Relying solely on the Disciples of our Nine Great Dao Sects makes it very hard to contend with them... Therefore, as long as one is a Human Cultivator, whether you are a Loose Cultivator or a Disciple of another power, if you can bring an Immortal God Legacy out of the cave abode and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Yao Race, it is actually acceptable to the Dao Sects."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly.
This made sense.
The Human Race was weak in Yunmeng Township. Facing a colossus like the Yao Race, they naturally had to band together for warmth.
As long as the benefits stayed within the Human Race, it was better than being snatched by the Yao-demons.
Seeing Jiang Yuechu's expression soften, True Lord Linghan said no more.
He stood up and straightened his sleeves. "Of course, there are still some days before this newly appeared Immortal God Cave Abode truly opens. Today, I am merely mentioning it to Junior Friend Jiang in passing."
"If Junior Friend is truly interested later and wants to go in to investigate, you can take this time to make some preparations in advance."
He said it was just a casual mention...
But how could it be? Behind this was the special instruction of that hot-tempered yet meticulous Elder Wuxiang. From the incident at the Hidden Sword Tower, it was clear that this girl's appetite was quite voracious.
Since she was so greedy for opportunities,
facing a place like an Immortal God Cave Abode where treasures were everywhere, she would definitely be unable to restrain herself.
After hearing this, Jiang Yuechu pondered for a moment.
Then, she shook her head slightly.
"I understand. We'll see when the time comes."
Seeing the young girl remain so calm, True Lord Linghan was not in a hurry.
When an Opportunity was before them, the ones who were usually anxious were the Cultivators themselves.
As long as the word was delivered, the seed was considered planted.
He picked up his teacup, took a casual sip, and changed the subject with a smile. "Junior Friend Jiang has only been in the Sect for a short time. Have you been comfortable living in Jieqing these past few days?"
"If there is anything you lack or any inconvenience in your cultivation, feel free to speak up. The Sect has always treated its Guest Elders with favor; there's no need to be formal."
Hearing this,
Jiang Yuechu raised her eyes and nodded with a serious expression. "I do have one matter to ask about."
"Oh?"
True Lord Linghan immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Junior Friend might as well just say it."
"As long as it's not something too difficult, I can still make some decisions."
Jiang Yuechu lowered her eyes slightly and deliberated for a moment.
Although she now had spirit grade and Celestial-grade Dao Chess pieces in her Qi Sea,
the matter of the Southern Immortal Palace was still a hidden threat.
To truly gain a firm foothold in this Yunmeng Township and protect that realm, even with heaven-reaching means, the cultivation of a mere two-piece player was far from enough...
Not to mention the Heaven-Defying method of condensing a Yao-body to fill a dao chess piece... what she lacked most right now was to quickly increase her cultivation.
And the Foundation for Condensing the Chess Piece lay in objects of dao integration and Five Qi Treasure Lands.
Thinking of this,
she raised her head, looked directly at True Lord Linghan opposite her, and spoke calmly.
"I want to ask."
"If one wants to obtain an object of dao integration or a Five Qi Treasure Land... is there any way to do so within the Dao Sect?"
