Chapter 145: Chapter 118: A Gift for Master Jian Yuanzi
```
Senior Brother Li Changxiao passed the third assessment, which means he can stay in the Dao Sect forever. This is truly a tremendous benefit.
The Canglan Sect will also benefit from this, receiving annual rewards from the Dao Sect.
If we have a large quantity of Wind Tribulation Pills, Fire Tribulation Pills, and Thunder Tribulation Pills, we can ensure a steady stream of Nascent Soul True Monarchs and unending Divine Transformation Great Sages, giving our sect the opportunity to rise.
After arranging to depart the next day, Yang Ji went to the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance.
Once again, he obtained a large number of Wood Attribute Spiritual Materials from Bai Bi, who teased with a smile, "You really don't hold back, one could think you're the shopkeeper of my Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance."
Yang Ji smiled confidently and replied, "Daoist Bai, rest assured, I can definitely repay the Medicine Pills, and even cover the interest."
Bai Bi looked at him intently and said with a charming smile, "I haven't seen a single Medicine Pill yet, but your words are becoming more and more confident. I'll have to wait and see."
After thanking her, Yang Ji left the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance.
His confidence naturally came from Shen Yin.
After Shen Yin's breakthrough, it absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and could produce thirty mid-grade Spiritual Qi Fruits a day.
If it broke through again, it could produce three hundred Spiritual Qi Fruits a day, all of high quality, even better than Divine Transformation Pills.
If it broke through yet again, it could produce three thousand a day.
And after another breakthrough, thirty thousand a day, an unimaginable fortune.
She was like a money tree beside Yang Ji. With just two or three hundred million Heaven Spirit Pills owed, Yang Ji didn't worry about it at all.
Returning to the sect, he began to meditate in seclusion.
The next morning.
The sun rose in the east.
An elegant figure flew towards Sword Peak, stepping on golden radiance, with a free and easy demeanor that seemed to transcend worldly matters.
The person was none other than the smiling Li Changxiao.
Having passed the third assessment, he could stay in the Dao Sect forever, free from worries in his cultivation.
With a smile, Li Changxiao's confidence and calmness surged, his aura becoming more elusive, giving off a sense of an unfettered immortal, a spiritual transformation.
Recognizing the change in his close friend, Yang Ji immediately noticed the difference.
"Senior Brother, congratulations! With the Dao Sect at your back, you can sail through the immortal paths without concerns! You will roam the world and rule the Myriad Realms unopposed," Yang Ji said with a smile.
A smile appeared on Li Changxiao's face as he softly said, "Indeed, I have settled a matter of the heart. Now I can practice without looking back, like before. My mind... has finally found peace."
Yang Ji remarked, "The three assessments of the Dao Sect are all filled with uncertainties and dangers, who can guarantee a certain pass through all three? Senior Brother, you are safe now, no need to struggle at sea with other disciples. Ahead lies a smooth path."
Li Changxiao said, "This is only a small success at this stage. The journey ahead is long and requires even more effort. Junior Brother, let's encourage each other."
"Yes!" Yang Ji nodded.
Li Changxiao then said, "After passing the third assessment, I exchanged the rewards prepared by the Dao Sect for our sect for a low-grade Enlightenment Pill. I hope the patriarch can use it to grasp a faint mystery of the Great Dao and break through the Void Refinement Realm."
"If the patriarch can break through, then our Canglan Sect will truly enter a new realm," Yang Ji also said with anticipation.
"Yes, let's hope for success. The patriarch has been at the peak of Divine Transformation for hundreds of years without finding the opportunity to enter the profound realm of Dao comprehension. Hopefully, this Enlightenment Pill can be the catalyst for his breakthrough," Li Changxiao said as he looked at the golden pill in his hand, then put it away.
Afterward, the two left the Wuji Dao Sect and, using a Teleportation Array, took about five days to finally arrive at the familiar Thousand-Islands Sea Area.
Above Canglan Island, two streaks of light shot across extremely fast, heading straight into the misty Canglan Sect.
Very quickly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of the solemn and penetrating bell began to ring within the Canglan Sect. With three rings, it quickly spread throughout the entire sect.
Immediately, eleven figures atop various peaks heard the bell and opened their eyes from meditation.
In an instant, eleven streaks of light shot out from the peaks, heading towards Deliberation Peak.
Within the Deliberation Hall.
True Lord Sword Origin, True Lord Guanxiao, True Lord Yun Guang, True Lord Yong En, True Lord Changye, True Lord Hong Ming, True Lord Qing He, True Lord Mingcheng, True Lord Shenyu, True Lord Ling Gu, and the other ten True Lords had all arrived.
When they saw that the Great Sage Bai Mei was already waiting at the head, they paid their respects and then sat opposite him.
One of the True Lords noticed a different expression on Great Sage Bai Mei's face today, looking like a smiling Buddha, and couldn't help asking, "Great Sage, is there a joyous event?"
Everyone turned curious and looked over.
"Haha, indeed, a great joyous occasion. Chang Xiao has passed the third assessment of the Dao Sect, and has returned with Xiao Ji," Great Sage Bai Mei stroked his beard and said with a smile.
The others exchanged glances, their breathing hurried, and eagerly asked, "Great Sage, Chang Xiao passed the third assessment?"
"Yes, you heard right!" Great Sage Bai Mei said cheerfully.
"Great Sage, where are Chang Xiao and the others?" The people looked around in surprise and joy.
"Greetings to all the Senior Uncles and Uncles!" From outside the hall, suddenly two voices came in. It was the handsome Yang Ji and his brother, who had just walked in together.
```
"Haha, nephews, please take your seats." Everyone stood up enthusiastically, their spirits high as they spoke.
"Master!" Li Changxiao and Yang Ji both looked towards Jian Yuanzi and bowed deeply to him.
"You have done well, I am very pleased," Jian Yuanzi said, his face rarely breaking into a radiant smile.
Li Changxiao and Yang Ji exchanged smiles and took their seats beside him.
After sitting down, Yang Ji noticed that the person sitting opposite was Chang Lin; it was unexpected that after these years, he too had broken through to Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Chang Lin nodded at him with a smile. His demeanor was far more natural and much more modest than it had been decades ago.
"Supreme, Chang Xiao has passed the third assessment. This is cause for great joy! Should we not host a grand feast for three days to announce it to the entire Thousand-Islands Sea Area?" True Sage Guan Xiao suggested with a hearty laugh.
"No need. I discussed it with Chang Xiao before, he prefers quiet, let's not promote it excessively. It's enough for us to just enjoy ourselves," Great Sage Bai Mei said as he stroked his white beard, laughing.
"Since nephew Chang Xiao prefers tranquility, then we won't hold a grand feast for the Sect," True Sage Qing He said with a smile.
"This time Chang Xiao has brought back an Enlightenment Pill, in hopes that I can seize this opportunity to grasp a trace of the Great Dao and reach the Void Refinement Realm," Great Sage Bai Mei said earnestly.
"Enlightenment Pill?" Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately clasped their hands together, "We wish the Supreme success in advance!"
Great Sage Bai Mei nodded and looked down, "By the way, Chang Xiao, Xiao Ji. In five days, it will be the Sect's grand tournament. How about handing over the role of proctor to you two? You could also take this opportunity to assess the disciples and let them bask in your genius aura."
"We can go without the grand feast, but we should still show our faces, lest other Sects say that our Sect's geniuses have disappeared without a trace after going to the Dao Sect."
Li Changxiao and Yang Ji looked at each other and said, "Very well, Supreme."
"Good, that's settled. I'll begin my retreat today to break through to Void Refinement. You all take Chang Xiao and Xiao Ji down to join in the festivities and have a few drinks," Great Sage Bai Mei said with a smile, his form fading away until he disappeared.
"Everyone, please follow me to Sword Peak where we can chat," Jian Yuanzi said to the crowd.
"It's only fitting that we go to your Sword Peak since both nephews are your disciples," the True Monarchs replied with a smile.
"My disciples, let's go," Jian Yuanzi said, casting his gaze over Yang Ji and Li Changxiao before flying ahead.
Everyone quickly followed suit.
Sword Peak was brightly lit that night. It was rare for everyone to gather together, raising their cups and exchanging toasts, chatting and drinking through the night.
It wasn't until dawn that they finally dispersed.
Li Changxiao also went to the Supreme Palace to personally protect Great Sage Bai Mei.
His cultivation level was now at the peak of Nascent Soul, but in terms of combat power, he was absolutely capable of slaying an average Divine Transformation Cultivator.
With him as the protector, everyone was reassured.
Sword Peak, by the cliff.
Jian Yuanzi and Yang Ji sat cross-legged, surrounded by a gentle breeze, watching the sun slowly rise, breaking through the clouds.
"Disciple, the Sect has received the Divine Skills and rewards you and Chang Xiao brought back; everyone sees you as a source of pride," Jian Yuanzi said warmly.
"The Sect has nurtured us for many years; it is what we should do," Yang Ji replied with a slight smile.
"The proudest achievement of my life is taking you two as my disciples. Even if I don't achieve Divinity Transformation, it's been worth it," said Jian Yuanzi proudly.
"Speaking of which, Master, you've reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Second Realm. It must be soon that you'll transcend the Thunder Tribulation," Yang Ji suddenly asked, glancing at Jian Yuanzi.
"Indeed, my cultivation has long reached the requirements for a breakthrough, but I am still cultivating the 'True Rigidity Refining Divinity Art' to strengthen my Primordial Spirit. After all, the Thunder Tribulation is the most terrifying of the three tribulations of the Nascent Soul. Even with Thunder Tribulation Pills, it's difficult to transcend.
Otherwise, our Canglan Sect wouldn't have only Great Sage Bai Mei as a Divine Transformation Cultivator over these years," Jian Yuanzi said with a sigh.
The Nascent Soul has three realms: the first faces Wind Tribulation, the second faces Fire Tribulation, and the third faces Heavenly Tribulation.
After transcending the Heavenly Tribulation and achieving a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, one can attract the Qi of Heaven and Earth to nourish the body, initiating a primary transformation into a Great Dao Body, allowing a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm. At that point, one can utilize the Dao Qi to construct a world.
Yang Ji's Primordial Spirit had already reached the Pure Yang level, but he was still unable to attract the Qi of the Dao, presumably because he had not transcended the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulation wasn't difficult for a prodigy like him, but for Jian Yuanzi and other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it was a real calamity.
Lost in thought, Yang Ji suddenly took out a green leaf, speaking gravely to Jian Yuanzi, "Master, enshrine this leaf as a magical treasure. When you transcend the Thunder Tribulation, cover your Primordial Spirit with it to weaken the damage from the tribulation."
"Weaken the damage from the Heavenly Tribulation?" The leaf looked ordinary, distinguished only by its pure color and plumpness, such that Jian Yuanzi couldn't help but scrutinize it closely.
"Master, don't mention this leaf to a second person. After you transcend the tribulation, you must destroy this leaf, do not forget," Yang Ji said seriously as he handed over the leaf.
"Disciple, this leaf?" Jian Yuanzi's expression turned solemn as he gazed at the leaf and then at Yang Ji, clearly understanding that the leaf was no trivial matter. Read the full story at m-vl-em,pyr
"Just remember my words, Master," said Yang Ji formally.
This was a leaf from the Taichu Divine Tree, capable of weakening the Heavenly Tribulation.
To avoid exposing it and thus drawing danger, he had to repeatedly instruct, for the issue was critical. After all, the Sect of the Great Sage Mu Yuan had been destroyed because of the Taichu Divine Tree.
If it came to others' knowledge, it would likely bring fatal trouble.
Therefore, even when giving it to his master Jian Yuanzi, Yang Ji had to weigh the decision carefully, let alone giving it to others.
"Disciple, I understand," Jian Yuanzi said solemnly, treasuring the leaf as he accepted it.
"With this leaf, Master, the Heavenly Tribulation should not hinder your advancement. It seems you will soon achieve Divinity Transformation," Yang Ji suddenly said with a smile.
"Oh?" Jian Yuanzi tapped his Storage Bag, excitement glittering in his eyes.
