Zhang Shun had already cultivated to the Second Realm of Nirvana, and his physical body was not bad. In a short period of time, it would be difficult for him to improve his cultivation greatly. The Intrinsic Dao Tool was the foundation for him to settle down.

During this year, Zhang Shun was also cultivating in seclusion in Minghai Hall, but his thoughts were all in the bamboo garden of the western courtyard that was sealed off by the array.

Chen Ling had to make preparations to hunt down the Illusory Blind Snake again. He didn’t have the patience to stay in the Minghai Hall, but every two to three months, he would run over and take a look.

However, in the Western Campus Bamboo Garden, apart from the occasional flames of lightning and flames, there were no other movements. Chen Ling had lost his patience several times and was stopped by Zhang Shun when he tried to break into the bamboo garden to expose the true face of the foreign Rogue cultivator.

Right now, there were only three months left before the Heavenly Evolution Convention. If Zhang Shun didn’t think of another way, he would definitely be defeated by Lu Jun if he rushed into battle.

Chen Ling also made up his mind this time. No matter how Zhang Shun tried to stop him, he would shatter the illusion he had placed on this foreign loose cultivator. However, this time, he had just broken into the Western Campus and was still stopped by Zhang Shun.

“I’ll go in and take a look. I won’t disturb that person.” Chen Ling explained.

“True Master Chen said that he would be able to repair the Thundercloud Spear before the Heavenly Evolution Convention. It’s not good for us to break our promise by barging in.” Zhang Shun insisted.

“You’ve been cultivating for all these years, why are you still so stubborn? You still can’t see through that person’s true appearance of swindling and deceiving?”

Chen Ling hated steel and her pink face was red with anger. She took out a spirit sword from her storage ring and stuffed it into Zhang Shun’s hand angrily. She shouted,

“This is the Heavenly Fiend Lightning Tribulation Sword that I borrowed from Patriarch. You can use it first. There’s only three months left. You need to be prepared. You can’t pin all your hopes on that swindler anymore …”

Zhang Shun was naturally worried, but there was only three months left before he could refine a brand new Dao Artifact. Not to mention that his soul was difficult to match, even if he split his Primordial Spirit and refined it into the Heavenly Fiend Lightning Tribulation Sword, it would be difficult for his soul cultivation to recover within three months.

“It’s good that you make more preparations.”

Zhang Rucheng was also alarmed as he stepped into the western courtyard and said slowly.

“Look, Elder Zhang doesn’t even think highly of that liar.” Chen Ling wished he could crush a sound transmission talisman and introduce her words into the restriction of the Bamboo Garden.

Zhang Shun was somewhat hesitant. At this moment, seven bolts of lightning flames shot into the sky from the depths of the bamboo garden. He saw seven lightning cloud spears wrapped around by the dragon-shaped lightning flames, suspended in midair, emitting a majestic and terrifying aura …

Looking at this situation, Zhang Shun was overjoyed. The Thundercloud Spear had actually appeared again flawlessly and perfectly.

Chen Xun removed the restriction and walked out of the Bamboo Garden. Seeing Chen Ling’s stunned tongue and forgotten words, he smiled and said, “Miss Chen didn’t need to be so loud just now. Chen Xun could hear it.”

Chen Ling smacked his lips, but he still found it hard to believe that the Thundercloud Spear had allowed this person to recover so easily?

Seeing that Zhang Shun had already put the Thundercloud Spear into his hand, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “Senior Brother, quickly take a look. Don’t forget to repair the formation restriction inside the Thundercloud Spear and let him damage it a bit.”

Chen Xun laughed heartily when he saw Chen Ling’s stubborn mouth. He looked at Zhang Rucheng and Zhang Shun and said, “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint. I hope that I can make up for Chen Xun’s previous careless mistake. There should still be three months left for Brother Zhang to refine the Thunder Cloud Spear again and beat the Lu Cloud Spear to the ground.”

Looking at the aura emitted by the Thundercloud Spear, Zhang Shun knew that it had been restored to its original state. He couldn’t help but take out a pearl from his storage ring and refine the seven artifact spirits back into the Thundercloud Spear …

Zhang Rucheng did not have much hope for Chen Xun to repair the Thundercloud Spear, but Zhang Shun had always had opportunities that he could not see through. Even this Thundercloud Spear was not an ancestral descendant of the Zhang Clan, but was obtained by Zhang Shun accidentally entering the Ancient Era’s Immortal’s Land of Death.

This time, it was also Zhang Shun who insisted that Zhang Rucheng arrogantly call for an additional seven to eight million GPA from the family’s general treasury to collect these Dao Artifact fragments.

In a hurry, if Zhang Shun wanted to defeat Lu Jun at the Heavenly Evolution Conference three months later, he could only place a ray of hope on the restoration of the Thundercloud Spear.

If not, just returning these points, which were equivalent to seven to eight million pure Yang pills, would be enough to take Zhang Shun a hundred to two hundred years of hard work.

Zhang Rucheng really didn’t expect that the foreign Rogue cultivator that hadn’t even cultivated the Origin Core would actually have such a dumbfounded decree in artifact forging. Apart from the two Supreme Elders, he also felt that even the number one artifact forging grandmaster in Dongxi Sect, Lei Lingzi, might not be able to completely repair the Thundercloud Spear within a year, right?

Zhang Rucheng calmed down the shock in his heart. Looking at Zhang Shun, he saw that after Zhang Shun had refined the seven artifact spirits into the Lightning Cloud Spear, his shoulders trembled slightly, indicating that he was extremely shocked.

Zhang Rucheng was shocked, he didn’t know what had happened.

Zhang Rucheng was worried that he would lose. It would be too late for them to prepare for the Heavenly Events Conference in three months.

Zhang Shun withdrew his mind from the Thundercloud Spear and looked at Chen Xun in shock. He bowed and said with a trembling voice, “Brother Chen is really talented. Zhang Shun sighs that he is far inferior …”

Chen Xun smiled and said, “It just so happened that there are a few Dao Artifacts fragments. There seems to be a section of the restriction that is superfluous, but when I entered the Forgetfulness Realm while refining the Thundercloud Spear, my spiritual will also occasionally circulated. I casually intercepted and filled this section of the formation restriction. I didn’t expect that it would actually be integrated with the Thundercloud Spear …”

“What, the fifth restriction?”

Not to mention Chen Ling’s beautiful mouth, Zhang Rucheng’s entire body trembled when he heard this.

As a low-grade Dao Weapon, the Thundercloud Spear had four layers of formation restrictions inside it. It was like an organic whole. It was obtained by ancient great powers through endless tempering. It was not difficult to gain or lose. However, at this moment, there was actually an additional layer of restriction. Doesn’t that mean that it should be counted as the fifth layer of formation restrictions of the Thundercloud Spear?

This actually meant that the Lightning Cloud Spear had already surpassed the low-grade Dao Weapon and had upgraded to a mid-grade Dao Weapon …

Zhang Rucheng’s Dao Heart had long since cultivated to the Ancient Well Waveless Realm, so he couldn’t help but “snatch” the Thundercloud Spear over and stretch out his divine sense to see what was going on.

Chen Xun smiled nonchalantly. “It’s just a small restriction that I accidentally obtained. It’s really not as powerful as the fifth restriction. I only hope that it can be of some help to Brother Zhang at the Heavenly Evolution Convention.”

Zhang Rucheng’s divine sense extended to the Lightning Cloud Spear. It was indeed only a small portion of the fourth restriction, but it was exactly the same as the fourth restriction. The circulation of Qi didn’t hinder it. In theory, it was a small portion of the fifth restriction of the Lightning Cloud Spear.

This was no small matter.

This meant that after Zhang Shun cultivated, he would be able to comprehend the complete fifth restriction from the small additional restriction. As Zhang Shun’s cultivation increased, one day he would be able to refine all seven Thundercloud Spears into mid-grade Dao Weapons.

Zhang Shun wasn’t good at forging weapons, but it wasn’t difficult for him to spend hundreds or even thousands of years constantly upgrading his own Dao Weapons.

If all seven Thundercloud Spears could be upgraded to mid-grade Dao Weapons, their might would be close to precious treasures. This was an unimaginable fact. At that time, Zhang Shun would become one of the top ten experts of Dongxi Sect in a single leap.

Even at this moment, the Thunder Cloud Spear only seemed to have a small additional restriction, but it could produce several unimaginable changes. It would definitely shock Lu Jun at the Heavenly Evolution Convention.

Zhang Rucheng took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands. He said, “I heard that True Master Chen is about to break through. I hope that this Nirvana Pill can be added to the beauty.”

One Nirvana Pill was worth three million Pure Yang Pills in the Jade Treasure Pavilion. Although the Zhang Clan was deeply rooted in Fengzhou City and it was relatively easy to obtain a Nirvana Pill, the price would not be less than one million Pure Yang Pills.

Although one Nirvana Pill was far from enough for Chen Xun to break through to the Primordial Embryo and he needed to think of another method, the Zhang Clan’s uncle and nephew were sincere. Chen Xun also wanted to establish a normal relationship with them. He smiled and accepted the brocade box, saying, “Nirvana Pills are exactly what Chen Xun needed right now. Thank you, True Monarch Zhang.” He then said to Zhang Shun, “There are still some Dao Artifacts that are unnecessary. Brother Zhang can sell them to Chen Xun at a discount.”

“Brother Chen, these are all things that you deserve. Why are you saying this?” Zhang Shun blamed.

Although the Lu Clan’s artifact forging grandmasters did not refuse to help repair Thundercloud Island, they still wanted him to contribute 40 million sect merits. At this moment, they had only spent less than a seventh or eighth of the price. How could Zhang Shun take back the excess Dao artifact fragments from Chen Xun?

“Helping Brother Zhang repair the Dao Artifact is something that I have also obtained. I need to cultivate in seclusion and meditate. I won’t disturb Brother Zhang in refining the Dao Treasure.” Chen Xun said. He glanced at Chen Ling and saw that she was probably too embarrassed to lower her head to admit her mistake, so she went straight back to the Bamboo Garden to cultivate in seclusion again.

***************************

Although one Thundercloud Spear only had a small portion of its formation restriction, it could make seven Thundercloud Spears split into primary and secondary ranks, and its power could at least be doubled. There was no suspense in the battle between Zhang Shun and Lu Jun, and Chen Xun had no intention of stopping cultivating. Following Zhang Shun and Chen Ling, they rushed to Dongxi Sect to watch the Heavenly Events Convention, and they still had to cultivate on their own.

As usual, Chen Xun set up the Devil Banner of the Capital Heavens to guard the surroundings of the secret room. He fell silent, and his spiritual sea suddenly opened. The green lotus emitted a faint green radiance.

The entangled shape of the turtle and snake formed by the Tianwu Grand Dao carried the green lotus on its back, and its turtle feet stretched out, as if there was still an endless expanse of land within its spiritual sea for the turtle and snake to stand on …

The Heavenly Dao Azure Dragon had already shrunk to three inches and circled around the lotus core. In its mouth, it held a seed of divine flame that flickered with light. It was incomparably bright, emitting divine golden flames that dyed the boundless Spiritual Sea into a golden world.

That seed of enlightenment was the Dao Insight of the Grand Dao of Cosmos that Chen Xun had comprehended.

If anyone’s mind could see what was happening in Chen Xun’s spiritual sea, they would definitely be scared out of their chin by what they saw.

Apart from the three Grand Dao techniques that he had already cultivated, other than the seed of wisdom from the Grand Dao of Cosmos, the seeds of wisdom condensed from many Dao Insights in Chen Xun’s spiritual sea were densely packed like stars, numbering in the order of a thousand or two thousand.

However, compared to the seeds of understanding condensed by the Grand Dao of Cosmos, these Dao Insights were as dim as the late stars beside the bright moon.

Chen Xun cultivated eight hidden meridians, which allowed him to directly seize different Dao Insights from other people’s soul fragments.

Although Chen Xun would not deliberately devour other people’s soul fragments, the Qilin Horn and Zhu Xian Horn were bloody battles. He had no choice but to use secret methods to refine the remnant souls of the demons to replenish his spiritual energy.

In the two great battles, he had unknowingly taken away so many seeds of insight from the hands of the demon race experts.

Chen Xun’s mind was immersed in the seed of consciousness condensed from the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth. Although this seed of consciousness was stronger than the other seven or eight hundred seeds of consciousness combined, it was still not strong enough. It was not complete enough to transform into a Cosmos Form.

The Dao was large and small, and could be broken and fused.

Chen Xun spread out his mind and extended it to the other seven or eight hundred seeds of consciousness. He dragged out those with similar auras to comprehend and merge them into the seeds of consciousness of the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth …

After cultivating for a long time, Chen Xun didn’t know how long it had been until the Heavenly Gate of the Spirit Sea’s Profound Aperture suddenly opened and an ancient aura entered. Only then did his mind suddenly awaken from his comprehension of Dao Insight.

The seed of understanding formed by the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth was already twice as strong as it was at the beginning, but at this moment, it turned into a wisp of golden divine flame and merged into that primordial aura …

Something’s wrong, the Dao of Heaven and Earth isn’t cultivated like this!

Chen Xun was greatly shocked, but the changes that followed caused him to be even more shocked.

Not only did the seed of the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth merge with that wisp of primordial aura, even the Heavenly Dao True Dragon and the Yin Yang Green Lotus were not controlled by his mind at all. They transformed into two extremely pure strands of azure energy and merged into that wisp of primordial aura …
