Chapter 957: Enemy Trace

Daoist Zixuan’s response this time was much to Tang Xiu’s satisfaction. He made up his mind, making a plan to establish a relationship with the Whole Unitary Sect right after he learned this sect’s situation, and if possible, he would obtain some cultivation resources from this sect which had thousands of years of rich heritage.

The Everlasting Feast Hall itself was not in short supply of cultivation resources at the moment; it even had enough inventory for the next year. But the number of cultivation resources to carry out his plan to raise an army of cultivators while simultaneously raising and training a large number of children in the future would be astronomical. Hence, the more resources he procured, the better.

From Jin Chanzi and his five brothers, as well Daoist Zixuan now, Tang Xiu could tell that they were from a righteous sect. He had been secretly observing them and confirmed that they were not people with wicked and scheming minds, so making a deal with them was unlikely to go wrong.

“Senior Zixuan, since you’re interested in the deal I offer you, may I know how many cultivation resources your sect have accumulated in the past millennium?” asked Tang Xiu seriously. “I need to know whether it can meet my needs.”

“Ah, Daoist Tang has quite a big appetite it seems.” Daoist Zixuan let out a faint smile and said, “You just said that my Whole Unitary Sect has accumulated cultivation resources for over a thousand years. With such a long time, we indeed have accumulated a lot of resources. However, I’d like you to ask in return. What kind of benefits will you offer our Whole Unitary Sect in exchange for our massive cultivation resources?”

Tang Xiu spread his hand out, and an ancient scripture suddenly appeared on his palm. He looked at Daoist Zixuan’s curious face and asked, “I don’t know the level of cultivation art the Whole Unitary Sect has, so I’d like to ask how high the realm of cultivation one can achieve in your sect?”

With a slightly shifted expression, Daoist Zixuan thought for a while and said, “Frankly speaking, the most important cultivation art my sect has can make one break through to the Spirit Formation Stage. There’s none at the said realm in my sect at the moment, but we do have some powerhouses at the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“This ancient manual in my hand is a cultivation art that can make you breakthrough to the Great Ascension Stage,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Also, I can assure you that this cultivation is much more profound than any art your Whole Unitary Sect may possess. Additionally, I can also trade a cultivation art at the Crossing Tribulation Stage with your sect should anyone from the Whole Unitary Sect break through to the late stage of Great Ascension.”

“Say what?”

Daoist Zixuan had been cultivating for centuries and had a firm and tempered mind. Despite that, she was still shocked as disbelief obviously filled her face upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words.

The Great Ascension and Crossing Tribulation Stages?

Is it possible that such profound cultivation art still exists on Earth nowadays?

“What I told you is the whole truth. The manual in my hands now is a cultivation art up to the Great Ascension Stage, while I also have its continuation to the Crossing Tribulation Stage,” said Tang Xiu. “If your Whole Unitary Sect wants to get one, I need to know how many cultivation resources you can exchange to satisfy my needs.”

Daoist Zixuan’s eyes were fixated at the cultivation manual in Tang Xiu’s hands. If it wasn’t the fact that she was on Nine Dragons Island and she had no confidence in dealing with Tang Xiu at the moment, she would have moved and snatched it immediately. If these cultivation arts were as profound, or even stronger, than her sect’s cultivation technique as Tang Xiu said, then it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that was equivalent to the utmost valuable treasure for her Whole Unitary Sect.

“This matter is of great importance, Daoist Tang, so I need to discuss it with the elders in my sect first.”

Putting away the cultivation manual, Tang Xiu then replied with a smile, “That’s not a problem. I don’t have many cultivation resources, but I have time. However, I’m not one who likes to waste time, so how long do I need to wait to know how much cultivation resources your Whole Unitary Sect can exchange with me?”

“Seven days,” answered Daoist Zixuan without hesitation. “Give me at most seven days of time. I’ll leave now to return to my sect and discuss this matter with the elders. A week later, I’ll come again and give you a reply as to how much we can afford to exchange with you. But I hope you don’t deceive me, Daoist Tang—or my elders will be furious, spelling bad things for us.”

“If so, then I’ll be waiting for good news from you, Senior Zixuan,” said Tang Xiu smilingly.

Immediately after, Daoist Zixuan said, “Daoist Tang, I heard from my young disciples that you have deep attainments in the Lightning Evoker Art, which I have some mastery in as well. Would you mind sparing some time to compare notes?”

“Since Senior Zixuan has such interest, shall we go to the sea outside then?” said Tang Xiu smilingly. “I don’t want this newly reconstructed Nine Dragons Island to be destroyed by us.”

“Alright!”

Quickly after, Tang Xiu opened the portal of the island’s array so that he and Daoist Zixuan could flash outside, leaving the rest of the people to appear several kilometers away from Nine Dragons Island.
