Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman

’Or would any six of the Ancient Profound Talismans they left behind do?’

He asked, "Is the Wordless Celestial Stele still in existence today?"

Yun Qiuyuan shook her head and said, "The Wordless Celestial Stele disappeared during the Demon Tribulation of Recent Antiquity."

’This woman truly is the disciple of a Tribulation Realm Great Power,’ he thought. ’She’s so familiar with the secrets of this realm, even knowing about the time when the Demon Lord brought chaos to the world.’

Primordial, Ancient, Middle, and Recent... The history of the Red Profound Realm was roughly divided into these four great eras.

Aside from the Recent Era, the first three eras each lasted for about thirty thousand years.

Over ten thousand years have passed since the beginning of the Recent Era.

Yun Qiuyuan continued, "Within the Mingxiao Domain, nine factions possess an Ancient Profound Talisman. They are the Xia Family, a Middle-Aged Noble Family; the Purple Cloud Lineage of the Ancient Evil Race; the Taiyi Cave Heaven, a Demon Race Sacred Land; the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, one of the seven sects of the Demon Dao..."

The nine places she mentioned were all top-tier powers in the Mingxiao Domain, and many of them were even overseen by a Tribulation Realm Great Power.

Fang Cheng couldn’t help but click his tongue. "It seems opening this Treasure Box is going to be incredibly difficult."

Yun Qiuyuan’s enchanting eyes twinkled as she covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "That’s why this treasure is useless in my hands. It’s better to just give it to you."

Fang Cheng frowned. "What exactly is this so-called earth-shattering secret inside the Treasure Box?"

Yun Qiuyuan gently shook her head. "No one knows. Many major events occurred during the Ancient Times. The Human Race went from prosperity to decline, entering the Middle Era, a time when numerous sect families rose to prominence. They formed a tripartite balance of power with the Demon Race and the Ancient Evil Race. The Immortal Copper Treasure Box is a product of that transitional period..."

Fang Cheng vaguely sensed that there might be a discernible pattern to the changes between eras, but when he tried to think about it in detail, his thoughts became a chaotic mess.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Could I borrow this Ten Thousand Transformations Bead for a few months?"

The young woman nodded without a care, her expression regaining its former sly mischievousness. She teased, "As a peerless old demon, shouldn’t you just snatch a Fifth-rank Magical Artifact like this?"

Fang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. His gaze fell upon her pert bottom and long, slender legs, and a wild, wicked thought flashed through his mind.

"I do have my standards,"

he said calmly, clearing his throat with a light cough.

Yun Qiuyuan seemed to feel his gaze. A blush crept onto her pretty face, and her eyes flickered as she changed the subject. "My Heaven-Stealing Sect has a Qi Observation and Treasure Hunting Secret Technique. In a few months, the Feathered Immortal Tree will appear in the Illusory Sun Sea. Perhaps I can help you find that Red Profound Order."

"Excellent. I’ll be counting on you then," Fang Cheng readily agreed.

Yun Qiuyuan said, "When the Immortal Tree appears, its canopy will be boundlessly vast and contain many hidden treasures. If we work together, you just need to give me a few of the items you have no use for."

After a pause, she added, "I have some things to take care of for a while. How about we rendezvous at the Illusory Sun Sea when the time comes?"

Fang Cheng felt a tinge of regret but smiled and nodded. "Alright."

...

A great sun slowly rose into the sky.

Fang Cheng walked out of the Jade Tower and put it away with a wave of his hand.

After their discussion last night, Yun Qiuyuan had departed gracefully, leaving no trace behind.

Fang Cheng took stock of the storage Magical Artifacts from Nangong Chilong, Xi Yinglong, and the others. Although the haul was substantial, he didn’t find a single rare treasure that truly tempted him, like a Tier Five Star Thunder Bead or a Red Sky Fire Talisman.

At that moment, he once again used the Ten Thousand Transformations Bead to assume Xi Yinglong’s appearance. With a wave of his sleeve, he summoned the large, golden tower ship and flew off into the distant sky alone.

The golden tower ship was extremely fast. It only required a dozen or so Upper-Grade Spirit Stones to activate the Grand Array within, allowing it to move forward by automatically absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Piloting the ship, Fang Cheng arrived near the Taiyi Cave Heaven in just a few days.

He stood on the top deck of the tower ship, leaning against the railing and gazing into the distance. He could faintly make out a vast, hazy mirage in the sky, bobbing up and down in a churning sea of clouds.

This was one of the four great Sacred Lands of the Demon Race in the Mingxiao Domain: the Taiyi Cave Heaven.

He deliberately slowed down, allowing the tower ship to radiate a brilliant golden light amidst the astral winds of the firmament, making it extremely conspicuous.

Before long, dozens of brilliant silver rays of light appeared in the distance, dancing and weaving around each other with graceful, profound movements.

Upon reaching the golden tower ship, the silver rays circled once in the air before converging into a ball of shimmering silver mist. From within, a graceful woman with a pretty face emerged.

Fang Cheng looked at the woman. She appeared to be in her twenties, with a curvaceous figure, a slender waist, and delicately drawn eyebrows. Her robes fluttered around her, lending her a charming, graceful air. She was, surprisingly, a Tier Three Female Demon.

She performed a curtsy toward the golden tower ship, her voice light and pleasant. "This humble one is Yi Ling, a disciple under the Celestial Fragrance Demon Emperor of Taiyi Cave Heaven. May I ask for Senior’s esteemed name?"

Fang Cheng’s expression was haughty, and his tone was indifferent. "Xi Yinglong of Red Bright Immortal City."

Yi Ling was slightly startled to hear this. "So it is True Monarch Yinglong. Please forgive this humble one for failing to recognize you."

Fang Cheng waved his hand dismissively. "Lead the way."

Yi Ling moved to the side of the tower ship and guided it forward. In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they arrived before the Taiyi Cave Heaven.

Before them stood two colossal, towering mountains that pierced the clouds. Between them was what looked like a Celestial Gate, within which a vortex of cloud and light swirled, emitting a soft glow.

Numerous Escape Lights and Cloud Rafts flew in and out of the vortex. Set against the backdrop of the two colossal mountains, they looked as small as specks of dust.

Yi Ling pointed at the two mountains, a hint of pride in her voice. "True Monarch, these two mountains were once a single peak. In ages past, the Cyan Lotus Demon Saint found it too crude and split it with a single, casual sword strike."

The Cyan Lotus Demon Saint she spoke of was the Taiyi Cave Heaven’s most recent Tier Five Demon Saint. He perished under a heavenly tribulation three thousand seven hundred years ago, his existence utterly erased.

Currently, the Taiyi Cave Heaven has thirteen Demon Emperors but no Demon Saint.

Fang Cheng looked up at the two majestic, sky-piercing mountains. To think that the Cyan Lotus Demon Saint could split them with a casual sword strike... one could only imagine the extent of his Divine Techniques.
