Chapter 255: Chapter 233: Transcending the World, Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd (1/3)

Above the Nine Heavens, the celestial beings gathered for a banquet.

Suddenly, a cold snort reverberated through the Three Realms.

The celestial beings immediately paused, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of why the Heavenly Emperor’s wrath erupted so fiercely.

"Penglai... Taiyi..."

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian muttered under his breath in the unseen depths.

The Independent Immortals of Penglai Immortal Island disobeyed orders, and the Taiyi Realm was even worse—entirely independent, completely disregarding the Heavenly Emperor’s commands.

This time, someone attempted ascension, but failed halfway. Normally, such occurrences were a common sight, but today a faint trace of Penglai and Taiyi’s presence lingered.

The faint presence flickered briefly, and though it spanned across infinite time and space, it could not escape the boundless divine perception of Haotian.

No matter what, Haotian had already marked this trace of energy in memory.

...

Upper Immortal World.

Song Lin struck down the Yellow Dragon and eliminated Yuann Tiangang.

Dragon Qi returned to the earth; after decades of turbulence, it may rise to its peak once more.

Song Lin held a small box in his hands, though his mind wandered elsewhere.

[Fragrant winds usher to Daluo Heaven; the Moon Earth Cloud Stairs bow before the Cave Immortal.]

[World]: Upper Immortal

[Thirty-Six Heavens]: Earth Immortal Realm.

[Time Flow Speed]: One month per day.

[Manifestation]: Spirit

[Category]: Central Plains Myth, Middle Ages Myth.

[System]: Confucian Haotian Five Emperors Divine System

[Karma Effect Cycle]: Perfect.

The Karma Effect Cycle was perfect, heralding imminent detachment from this world.

Song Lin examined the contents inside the box.

It turned out to be a white jade gourd no larger than half a palm.

Taking out the white jade gourd and giving it a gentle shake, there seemed to be several small components inside.

Before leaving the world, Song Lin studied it thoroughly; he discovered it was a storage space with a massive capacity, equivalent to eight thousand-square-meter grotto mansions.

Surrounding it was a veil of mist, suggesting potential for further expansion.

Song Lin experimented by placing objects inside and confirmed they could all fit.

Suddenly, several beams of tunneling light approached from afar.

It turned out to be Zhai Qianyou and the others arriving.

"Taoist, is Yuann Tiangang dead?" Zhai Qianyou asked.

Song Lin gestured with the jade gourd in his hand.

"Purple Mansion? Dead indeed."

The group let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, peace could reign over the world.

"By the way, there’s something I need to tell you all—my merits are fulfilled, and I’m about to ascend. In the Immortal Realm, I will await you in the days to come."

As he spoke, faint white light began emanating from Song Lin’s body.

"Your dragon!" Zhai Qianyou pulled out three jade pendants of different colors and handed them to Song Lin.

Holding the three jade pendants, Song Lin’s heart stirred. He spoke, "Can the three dragons and the World in the Pot be fused together?"

The Kui Dragon Yellow Jade was not an object that existed in reality, and the thousand-year Chi Dragon could be slowly refined.

Given a choice between the World in the Pot and Kui Dragon Yellow Jade, Song Lin would undoubtedly choose the World in the Pot.

After all, it contained not only Yuann Tiangang’s Purple Mansion but also his Taoist Realm and knowledge.

If the two could be perfectly fused into one.

The resulting benefits would be immeasurable.

First, the dragon’s eighty-zhang-long body could be brought into the real world, vastly reducing the time it would take to nurture the dragon.

Second, both treasures could be utilized.

"Yes, there’s Dragon Qi nearby. With Dragon Qi as the medium, it can be refined into the Purple Mansion and merged with the Purple Mansion Gourd. The cost, however, is that they will forever become one entity."

"Do it," Song Lin urged.

Without hesitation, Song Lin summoned the white jade gourd, which emitted dazzling white light as Zhai Qianyou summoned three alien species dragons.

Dragon Qi surged in from all directions.

The three dragons gradually merged into the gourd’s white light.

Meanwhile, Song Lin’s figure rapidly began to fade, initiating the final countdown.

"Xing Hepu! The world will be entrusted to you. Make sure no ambitious schemers seize the Dragon Qi," Song Lin instructed.

"Understood!" Xing Hepu replied immediately.

Soon, under the accelerated circulation of Dragon Qi,

At the very moment of Song Lin’s disappearance, the Divine Servant suddenly spoke.

"Taoist, Zhang Guolao asked me to remind you not to forget the Four Sea Dragon Kings!"

Only today did the Divine Servant reveal the truth.

His existence in the mortal world served a specific task—to find one person and relay Zhang Guolao’s message.

He had finally encountered Song Lin.

The name "Song Lin" was correct; even Ghost Valley Master’s interpretation aligned with the evidence.

Nonetheless, the Divine Servant cautiously treaded, unwilling to confirm blindly.

Only upon witnessing Song Lin ascend right where he stood did he confirm him as Zhang Guolao’s chosen individual.

"What?"

Song Lin was momentarily stunned before vanishing from this world.

Real World.

Suddenly, Song Lin opened his eyes.

Who was Zhang Guolao?

The Four Sea Dragon Kings were a promise made in the Nuogao Record.

The Buddhist Dragon Kings impersonated the Four Sea Gods, only to be exposed by King Wu of Zhou. In retaliation, the Four Sea Dragon Kings declared they would destroy King Wu’s dynasty forty days later.

Calculating by the Four Heavenly Kings’ time flow of one day for sixty years, that equates to over two thousand years in mortal time.

During his ascension, Song Lin had made a pact with others to stop the Four Sea Dragon Kings together.

"Who exactly is Zhang Guolao? Zhengyang or Ann Qi?"

Surely, it could only be one of these two.

Unexpectedly, they both ascended, with cultivation at least at the Purple Mansion level.

After pondering for a long time and finding no light, Song Lin decided to stop theorizing.

Song Lin gazed into the void; from the emptiness, a blood-red book manifested.

On the cover, four large characters etched deeply: *Monster Chronicles.*

Turning to the last few pages, they detailed information on the Upper Immortal world.

This mission had yielded rich rewards.

In terms of Taoist Skill, he obtained Xing Hepu’s Yingyang Book, *Swordman Returning Pill Scripture*, *Heavenly Escape Sword Technique*, Zhai Qianyou’s Dragon Nourishing Secret Method, and various powerful dharma powers.

"Oh, right, and there’s the *Assassin Chronicles*!"

Song Lin recalled.

The *Assassin Chronicles* essentially comprised the Invisibility Technique.

Mastering it thoroughly could even allow transformations, akin to illusion techniques.

Though it wasn’t a magic vein, perhaps in the future, dedicated assassins could be cultivated among the Taoists.

Besides this, research into the Mystical Character reached its seventh tier.

Little Giant Spirit God, Thunder Mansion Ghost Soldiers, Thunder Mansion Ghost Messengers, Three-headed and Six-armed, among others—all these Mystical Character dharma powers emerged from this world’s study.

As for what to exchange for, Song Lin had already decided internally.

He gripped the golden Karma and envisioned the white jade gourd.

Swoosh!

A white jade gourd half the size of a palm materialized in his palm, its surface adorned with the patterns of three coiling alien species divine dragons.

Song Lin closed his eyes and contemplated for a long time, allowing the jade gourd’s information to surface in his mind.

Having fused the World in the Pot and three alien species divine dragons, he dubbed it the Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd.

[Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd]: Lower Grade Taoist Device, containing three divine dragons, eight-thousand-square-meter space, forty-two-metres-tall grotto mansion; equipped with the Yin Yang Transformation Wheel, capable of external combat. Captured enemies can be absorbed into the gourd’s internal space, where the Yin Yang Transformation Wheel annihilates them, with energy being absorbed by the divine dragons.

"Lower Grade Taoist Device!"

Song Lin’s eyes lit up—it was finally a strong Magic Artifact.

The classification of magic items consisted of: Magic Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Dao Artifact, and Magic Treasure.

Dao Artifacts were treasures exclusive to certain Purple Mansions; Fire Cloud’s Fire Palace was one such Dao Artifact.

Moreover, this artifact could integrate with the Purple Mansion.

To create a Dantian Purple Mansion was extraordinarily perilous, akin to an internal version of forming Heaven and Earth; those with frail Dantians could implode on the spot.

Some resorted to clever alternatives, using artifacts to substitute for the Purple Mansion.

Yuann Tiangang and Fire Cloud took this path.

This was precisely why Fire Cloud had remained the Taoist’s leader all along—not wanting to relinquish his Fire Palace, which essentially served as his Dantian.

Even if Song Lin could not break through to the Purple Mansion in the future, he could rely on this cunning method.

With such thoughts, he entered the Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd’s grotto heaven.

Everything went dark.

Then, a brilliant light bloomed. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

A world as wondrous as an Immortal Realm unfolded before him.

Floating islands stretched below his feet, vibrant with lush greenery though devoid of living beings.

"Intriguing!"

Song Lin remarked with amusement.

This grotto heaven was not expansive solid land but rather composed of separate floating islands interconnected by wooden bridges.

Beneath was an expanse of void—falling was evidently not advisable.

This world was smaller than the realm Yuann Tiangang had showcased earlier.

At its center lay three grand halls.

Song Lin immediately flew toward the largest hall in the middle.

The central hall bore the words "Longevity Palace," inscribed in iron and silver strokes.

The left hall was the Three Elements Hall, and the right was the Sun and Moon Hall.

In the lake outside the halls, Chi Dragons frolicked while Kui Dragons roamed beside the walls.

Stepping into the spacious palace, his footsteps echoed across the empty hall.

The floor was paved with white jade, polished so fine it mirrored light like glass; twenty-eight Golden Thread Coiled Dragon Columns adorned the space.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

Above came the sound of scales scraping against each other.

Song Lin raised his gaze and saw an eighty-zhang Coiled Dragon.

The Coiled Dragon’s eyes glowed like lanterns, its azure scales reflecting the moonlight; its massive body crowded the entire upper beam.

Such a sight would undoubtedly frighten an outsider to death.

Song Lin paid no attention, his focus drawn to a particular object.

A three-foot jade plate shimmering in alternating hues of green and red.

The Yin Yang Transformation Plate floated in mid-air, slowly rotating, radiating transformative energies of Yin and Yang—subtle and profound.

"Yin Yang Transformation Wheel—Yuann Tiangang’s ultimate technique."

Song Lin murmured to himself.

What a remarkable artifact!

This object had the power to transform anything.

But for now, he hadn’t yet mastered it; the Yin Yang Transformation Wheel seemed to resist his control.

Apart from this, the palace was empty.

Perhaps the Karma wasn’t exchanged completely; only items united with the Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd could materialize together.

Still, it made sense.

If all contents inside the gourd could be retrieved, then he could simply store treasures in the gourd during missions in other worlds and bring them back—thus saving on Perfect Karma.

Song Lin sat cross-legged on the floor and retrieved a box from the Heavenly Demon Stomach. The box contained several thick jade scrolls.

He immersed himself in the scrolls, meticulously studying them.

They contained Yuann Tiangang’s cultivation techniques and memories.

These were extracted using the Soul Searching Technique; his jade gourd acquisition was purely personal.

For months, Song Lin secluded himself, delving into Yuann Tiangang’s Secret Techniques.
