Chapter 514: The Sixth Spot
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
The misty rain enveloped five thousand kilometers, and through it, he had all the space within under his control!
The might of the Misty Rain domain was even above that of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm! After all, it was the might of his Intrinsic Numinous treasure! As for the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm, its ability to control the domain came from the appearance of the stellar forces. These two domains could be used by Qin Yun at the same time.
"Whoosh."
The Misty Rain Sword landed in Qin Yun's palm.
Qin Yun looked at the remnant Connate Wonders beside him. The Water of the First Essence, Extreme Wind Fire Lava, Water of the Wood Essence, and the Expanding Soil only had dregs left.
"Chaos Pure Gold." Qin Yun looked at the Chaos Pure Gold which was only about the size of a human head. Qin Yun felt the pinch.
"This is all that's left from that huge piece of Chaos Pure Gold which was once half the height of a human. There's less than twenty percent left." Although Qin Yun felt the pinch, he shook his head and smiled when he looked at the Misty Rain Sword in his palm. "However, my flying sword is now a Connate Numinous treasure, and eighty percent of it was thanks to this Chaos Pure Gold!"
Even the tiny amount of Chaos Pure Gold left was extremely precious. It could easily be exchanged for two to three White Jade Token spots.
He stored away the remaining Connate Wonders.
Following that, Qin Yun crossed his legs and cultivated silently as the Misty Rain Sword floated in front of him.
"Inside my Intrinsic Flying Sword is a Great Dao. It's suitable for me to ponder over it." Qin Yun began studying the Great Dao within the flying sword.
Originally, he had used ordinary materials to cultivate his Intrinsic Flying Sword to a superior-grade Numinous treasure level. Though that, his Misty Rain Sword Dao reached the late-stages of the Skyimmortal realm.
He then further nurtured it.
The reason why so much Chaos Pure Gold was expended, followed by the Water of the First Essence, and the other three Connate Wonders, was that the Great Dao within his Intrinsic Flying Sword was formed by extracting portions of the Great Dao from within the Connate Wonders to build on the foundation of the late-stage Skyimmortal Misty Rain Sword Dao inside it.
Therefore, the flying sword contained a Great Dao that was most suitable for Qin Yun. It traced back to the same origins.
"I chose five Great Dao sword manuals in the Myriad Dharma Repository, but none of them was what I wanted the most. As for the Great Dao contained within my Intrinsic Flying Sword… that is what suits me the best." Qin Yun looked at the flying sword floating in front of him. "From this day forth, my Intrinsic Flying Sword will be my master. I will work hard at figuring it out."
His cultivation direction and a Great Dao that matched him perfectly were just in front of him! Qin Yun was naturally excited about that.
"However, the Great Dao is just too mystical. Even if the Dao Ancestor were to preach the Dao, I would be confused." Qin Yun looked at the Intrinsic Flying Sword. "When I study my Intrinsic Flying Sword's Great Dao, it's like picking flowers amid fog, but at the very least… I can find the flowers!"
"Countless cultivators are stuck at the Skyimmortal bottleneck in the vast Three Realms. It prevents them from becoming Golden Immortals."
Qin Yun was feeling elated and excited.
With his Intrinsic Flying Sword becoming a Connate Numinous treasure, it increased his strength greatly, and it also increased his chances of becoming a Golden Immortal.

Qin Yun was in no hurry to head to Lightning Beast Manor. Instead, he took the time to cultivate in seclusion, pondering over what his Intrinsic Flying Sword had to offer and consolidating his strength.
In a blink of an eye, it had been eight months since Qin Yun obtained the White Jade Token.
"Creak." The door to Qin Yun's Green Touring Palace yard opened as he walked out.
"It's about time. I should decide on the final spot."
The White Jade Token had a total of six spots.
In order to gather the five-elemental Connate Wonders, he had sold four spots. He planned on heading to the Lightning Beast Manor to see it for himself, so there was still one spot remaining.
"Junior Brother Qin."
"Junior Brother Qin, you haven't set off for the Lightning Beast Manor?"
On the way, he encountered many of his fellow disciples, with which he exchanged brief pleasantries.
"Qin Yun, you still have one White Jade Token spot, right?" A silver-robed elder walked over and said immediately, "I just obtained a powerful treasure. It's called Cloud Snake Bell. It's a famous treasure. You must have heard of it, right?"
"Senior Brother Xue, how did Demon King Cloud Snake's treasure land in your hands?" Qin Yun was astonished.
"He's dead. Anyways, the Cloud Snake Bell is now with me. How about it? Can I use it to exchange a White Jade Token spot?" inquired the silver-robed elder. "This Cloud Snake Bell is an excellent protective treasure, and it can be used to kill enemies. Even if you don't use it, you can let your wife and daughter use it."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xue, but I have already decided on the final spot," said Qin Yun.
"If you have already decided on it, why haven't you set off?" harrumphed the silver-robed elder.
"Soon." Qin Yun did not elaborate.
On the way, he exchanged pleasantries with several senior brothers and sisters. These days, Qin Yun was considered quite an illustrious figure in the Green Touring Palace.
Moments later, he came outside another compound. Qin Yun stood at the door and knocked.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The wooden door sounded.
Qin Yun waited for a while, but he heard nothing inside.
"Senior Brother Zhang." Qin Yun called out, but the compound remained silent.
"Senior Brother Zhang's second Essence Soul has always been in Green Touring Palace. If he's not in here, could he be cultivating in seclusion somewhere in Green Touring Palace?" Only then did Qin Yun flip his hand to reveal his transmission token.
The external world had no way of communicating with the Green Touring Palace's interior as the Green Touring Palace transcended the Three Realms. Even mighty figures were unable to spy on this place.
But communications could still happen inside Green Touring Palace.
A phantom appeared beside him. It was none other than the azure-robed Daoist Divine Firmament, Ancestral Master Zhang.
"Senior Brother Zhang, it's me."
"Qin Yun?" Ancestral Master Zhang sat cross-legged somewhere. There was lightning sparking around him. He asked, "Is there a reason you've contacted me?"
"I'm outside your compound," said Qin Yun.
"I'll be there in a while," answered Ancestral Master Zhang before terminating the communication.
Swoosh.
Ancestral Master Zhang quickly rushed over from another end of Green Touring Palace. On the way, he pondered, "Why would Qin Yun suddenly seek me out? Either it's something to do with the Great Chang world, or…"
Soon, Ancestral Master Zhang arrived.
"Senior Brother Zhang," greeted Qin Yun with a smile.
"Come in and have a seat." Ancestral Master Zhang pushed open the door as Qin Yun followed him in.
Ancestral Master Zhang sat down and helped pour some wine. He asked with a smile, "Qin Yun, your true body is now constantly in Green Touring Palace? Are you hiding from the fiends' assassination attempts? Or are you hiding from greedy people?"
"Greedy people?" Qin Yun was astonished. "You know about it?"
"No." Ancestral Master Zhang shook his head. "However, the White Jade Token implies many Connate Lightning Fruits. It will naturally attract many greedy people."
"That's right. In their eyes, my obtaining of a White Jade Token is like a three-year-old holding gold ingots inside a busy city. All of them yearn to grab it from me," said Qin Yun with a smile. Previously, he was somewhat vexed about all these troubles. The fiends wanted to kill him, and he had offended Fiercefire… None of these would be easily resolved, but now that his Intrinsic Flying Sword had become an Intrinsic Numinous treasure, it was no longer a problem.
"You have to be careful. Many cultivators in the Three Realms have malicious natures," exhorted Ancestral Master Zhang.
"I know." Qin Yun nodded. "By the way, Senior Brother Zhang, I've finished my preparations, and I plan to set off to Lightning Beast Manor soon."
"Congratulations," said Ancestral Master Zhang with a smile.
Lightning Beast Manor… Connate Lightning Fruits.
To a cultivator who had created his own Divine Firmament Lightning Dharma, he naturally yearned to go! Especially when his Dharmic formulation had been stuck at the sixth firmament Skyimmortal realm! Although his Lightning Dharma realm had long reached the pinnacle of the Skyimmortal realm, creating a top Lightning Dharma was still very difficult.
He had never used Connate Lightning Fruits. He believed that just one use would aid him greatly.
As for Lightning Beast Manor, it was the cave abode of the Chaos Lightning Beast. There were probably other treasures related to the Lightning Dharma there as well. He wished to go…
However, one White Jade Token spot was just too precious. He could not bring himself to request it from Qin Yun.
"There is one spot left on the White Jade Token." Qin Yun looked at Ancestral Master Zhang. "I plan on inviting you to join me."
"Me?" Ancestral Master Zhang was taken aback.
"I'm just short of you. Once you agree, six of us Green Touring Palace disciples can head to Lightning Beast Manor together," said Qin Yun with a smile.
