Chapter 959 - 353: The State Preceptor’s Root Bone, the Celestial Master’s Comprehension (Combined - )_4

Chu Yu and Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang held detailed discussions on the schedule and arrangements.

After the general agreement, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang first returned together to the Dragon Tiger Mountain Ancestral Court.

Tang Xiaotang didn’t have many personal belongings to take.

But according to the rites and rituals, she will first make offerings to heaven and earth and the past ancestors at the Mountain Gate Ancestral Court of the Celestial Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain before the New Year, and then formally proceed to the Imperial Capital Luoyang to participate in the enfeoffment ceremony during the New Year.

As a Celestial Master, Lei Jun will host the offering ceremony for her at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The news spread back to the Celestial Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain, and everyone in the mansion felt honored.

The enfeoffment of the State Preceptor at the Celestial Master Mansion means that the inheritance of the Taoist Talisman Sect will be further promoted.

At the very least, the official attitude of the Tang Imperial Court is becoming more closely linked with the Celestial Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"Does senior brother have something to say?" After returning to the mountain, upon seeing the welcoming Wang Guiyuan, Lei Jun asked.

Wang Guiyuan glanced at the beaming Tang Xiaotang and shook his head: "No, nothing."

Tang Xiaotang giggled: "Exactly, don’t say anything that ruins the mood."

Yuan Mobai, standing beside, smiled and said: "Everyone has their own fortune; like Xiaotang’s nephew’s fearless progress, it’s indeed admirable, though hard for others to imitate."

Lei Jun gently nodded.

Tang Xiaotang is indeed fearless and progressive.

These years, despite her expeditions in the north and south, she hasn’t neglected her cultivation.

Earlier, when searching for the traces of Long Sky Gray Wolf in the Northern Border, before confining them, Tang Xiaotang meditated for a while, and her cultivation realm ascended to the Second Layer of the Nine Heavens of the Talisman Sect, achieving the Pill Spirit Three Qi and the accomplishment of Three Lights Mist and Rosy Clouds.

"The biggest gain is still this thing."

Tang Xiaotang, in high spirits, held above her palm a ball of golden light that surrounded a seemingly dull and lifeless pale gas cluster.

The gas cluster contained profound spirituality, yet at the moment it was entirely introverted, not apparent externally, only showing a thread of innate yin energy flowing within.

Surrounded by Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang mana, that thread of yin energy wasn’t suppressed or destroyed but instead harmoniously intertwined with the vigorous golden light.

It was indeed the Yin Soul which Long Sky Gray Wolf discovered, establishing a secret lair to nurture.

After Tang Xiaotang pursued Long Sky Gray Wolf and destroyed that lair, she found this spiritual object, then continued her pursuit, and later Lei Jun went to the Northern Border, nurtured it properly, and handed it over to Tang Xiaotang.

"How far is Xiao niece from achieving the Tai Chu Dao Body?" Yuan Mobai asked.

Tang Xiaotang waved her hand.

Four golden light clusters aligned in the air.

Besides the light cluster containing the Yin Soul, the other three also contained objects.

The Sun Jade Seal that Lei Jun originally brought back was now floating beside the Yin Soul.

Then, in the other two light clusters, one seemed to contain a completely transparent essence soul, and the other seemed to hold a shifting gas cluster of form and formlessness.

"The Innate Great Void Essence Soul and the Wandering Limitless Qi, these were spiritual objects I obtained earlier, forming the opportunity for the sublimation of my Immortal Body into a Dao Body."

Tang Xiaotang smiled at Lei Jun and Xu Yuanzhen: "So I say, my luck isn’t all that bad."

She pointed at the Sun Jade Seal and the Yin Soul: "Adding these two spiritual objects, it’s almost within reach, only a little bit more, I have it all figured out."

In Tang Xiaotang’s eyes, seemingly pure golden lightning fire danced: "What I still lack is a spiritual object called the Shattering Void Return Origin Stone."

The others slightly nodded: "Very well, we will all keep an eye out together."

"Lei Jun, how about you?" Tang Xiaotang wiped her palm, and the four light clusters disappeared together.

Lei Jun replied: "By uniting the Heavenly Palace Chapter Tablet, it opens a wondrous realm connecting the universe and nature, forming a pathway with the interconnectedness of heaven and earth, likely transforming acquired Serene Comprehension into Natural Comprehension, further aligning with the universe and nature.

Earlier, I already had the Nine Springs Ascending Spirit Jue for spiritual objects of the Netherworld Nine Abyss ascending to the Bluestone Drop of Nine Heavens; next, I still need a spiritual object descending from Bluestone Drop to Netherworld.

Such treasures are hard to find, and it’s not just about finding them, but they must be paired spiritual objects like the Nine Springs Ascending Spirit Jue, one ascending, one descending, creating a cycle across the Cosmos and Netherworld, bridging heaven and earth."

Tang Xiaotang’s eyes rolled: "Does this mean it might fall in the Netherworld of the Ten Lands or the Bluestone Drop of the Nine Heavens?"

Lei Jun: "It’s not yet appropriate to conclude, let it happen naturally."

Everyone has different fortunes.

Though Xu Yuanzhen also ascended her comprehension to the Tranquil Level, her path and fortune were unlike Lei Jun’s.

Thus it bears no reference value now.

Besides, the opportunities she obtained back then haven’t reappeared for years.

Just like Lei Jun’s current path, it was only suited for him alone.

The wondrous realm created by the unification of the Heavenly Palace Chapter Tablet’s upper and lower texts served to enhance comprehension, offering only one opportunity.

Since Lei Jun already had the Nine Springs Ascending Spirit Jue, Tang Xiaotang didn’t dwell on it.

She curiously asked: "By the way Lei Jun, any progress on your Taiji Dao Body?"

Lei Jun: "Not for now, I’ll wait for the right opportunity."

Tang Xiaotang turned to Xu Yuanzhen: "Senior sister..."

Xu Yuanzhen knew she wanted to ask if she also had hopes of achieving an Immortal Root Bone: "It could be tomorrow, or it may take a few more years."

Lei Jun listened and seemed to ponder.

"I’ll head back to the Altar of Wanfa Sect first." Xu Yuanzhen stood up and waved her hand carelessly.

Tang Xiaotang’s trip to the Northern Border primarily focused on the Yin Soul.

Xu Yuanzhen was more interested in Huang Xuanpu’s old residence, examining the items brought back and finding a new discovery.

Lei Jun looked at Tang Xiaotang: "Little senior niece is being enfeoffed as State Preceptor, and will be stationed long-term at the Imperial Capital Luoyang..."
