After returning to his residence, Han Changming took out a round object with a faint golden light. This was something that Master Tianyue gave to Han Changming.
Han Changming tried many methods, and it turned out that only spiritual attack was effective.
Even though he took the Mi Yuan Dan, which made his spiritual awareness surge in a short period of time, Han Changming was unable to open the restriction and still had no idea what this thing was.
The round object might be a special treasure that specifically absorbs spiritual consciousness, or it might be the protective shell of some treasure that needs to break the restriction before it can be opened.
Han Changming thought for a moment, then took out a shining star-moon disk and entered a spell. Not long after, Long Dahai's voice came from the star-moon disk: "Friend Han, long time no see. How are you these days?"
"Friend Long, are you healed?"
Han Changming asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious. Fellow Daoist Han, why did you contact me suddenly? What's the matter?"
Long Dahai asked somewhat confusedly.
Han Changming rarely contacted him on his own initiative, and the last time they met was hundreds of years ago.
"This is what happened. I accidentally got something, but I can't open the restriction. I want to ask if you have any way, "
Han Changming asked. He had already entered the fusion stage. Even if the round object was really a treasure, he could keep it.
"What is it? Tell me in detail."
Long Dahai asked.
Han Changming briefly introduced the situation of round objects in great detail.
"Heavenly Secret Ball! This is a unique item in the Heavenly Secret Star Region, but the method of refining it has been lost. The restrictions on each Heavenly Secret Ball are different. Some Heavenly Secret Balls require thunder magic to break the restrictions, some require divine consciousness to break them, and some require fire to break them."
Long Dahai explained.
"Heavenly Secret Sphere! Heavenly Secret Star Region!"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. He had heard of the Tianji Star Region.
The Tianji Star Region is proficient in the art of puppet mechanisms, and there are many forces that refine puppet beasts, and puppet beasts are produced in abundance.
There are forces in the Chiyang Star Region that sell puppet beasts, but the levels of the puppet beasts are not high, most of them are below level five. Han Changming has fought with so many Void Refining cultivators, but has not encountered an enemy that controls a level six puppet beast.
The Han family members are spread across dozens of immortal cultivation stars in the Chiyang star field, collecting immortal cultivation resources. The family members have participated in many large-scale auctions, and fifth-order puppet beasts are rare, let alone sixth-order puppet beasts.
"That's right. The Heavenly Secret Ball is a bit like the Heritage Stone. The things inside could be techniques, treasures, elixirs, pills, talismans, or even formations."
Long Dahai explained.
"Array?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. The Tianji Ball was not big. How could it store a set of formation equipment
"That's right. It's possible that it's a spirit beast egg or a spirit tree. The Heavenly Secret Ball is made from the Heavenly Secret Crystal. The Heavenly Secret Crystal is the excrement of a certain seventh-level star beast. This kind of star beast is already very hard to see, which makes the Heavenly Secret Ball very rare. You may still see it in the Tianji Star Region, but it's hard to find it in other star regions."
Long Dahai explained patiently.
"Heavenly Secret Divine Crystal, Spirit Beast Egg, Spirit Wood? In other words, the contents of the Heavenly Secret Ball are random?"
Han Changming continued to ask.
"That's right. Things that can be put into the Heavenly Secret Ball are naturally not ordinary things. I heard that the Ten Thousand Puppet God Lord of the Heavenly Secret Star Region got a Heavenly Secret Ball, which contained the inheritance of a Mahayana cultivator. His cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, his magical powers increased greatly, and he advanced to the Mahayana stage."
Long Dahai's voice was full of envy.
"The inheritance of the Mahayana monks!"
Han Changming was a little surprised and his eyes became hot.
"Yes, maybe you are lucky, there are treasures ranked high on the Star Domain Divine Weapon Ranking. This kind of thing depends on luck."
Long Dahai said.
Han Changming nodded, and his desire to lift the ban grew stronger.
"Fellow Daoist Long, please keep the existence of the Heavenly Secret Ball a secret."
Han Changming warned.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Han. Long is not someone who likes to gossip."
Long Dahai agreed.
After chatting for a while, Han Changming put away the Star-Moon Plate.
"The Heavenly Secret Ball, a precious treasure?"
Han Changming muttered to himself with a complicated expression.
He put away the Tianji Ball, sat cross-legged, and meditated to regulate his breathing.
A month passed, and guests arrived at Kowloon Island one after another to attend Han Changming's reunion ceremony.
The Zhao family, the Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance and the Tiandan Palace all sent their combined cultivators to participate. The Zhao family was led by Zhao Changqing, the Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance was led by Yang Lei, and the Tiandan Palace was led by Liu Qing. They were all combined cultivators.
Early in the morning of that day, just as the sky was getting light, in the southwest corner of the island, there was a steep and towering peak with a vast bluestone square on the top.
Tens of thousands of monks gathered in the bluestone square. They all sat behind a green jade table, and each green jade table was placed with fine wine and delicacies.
The monks were chatting, and Han Changming had not arrived yet.
“With Senior Han’s alchemy level, in time, there will be more fusion cultivators in the Han family.”
"What's so strange about this? In the entire Chiyang Star Region, there are less than ten seventh-level alchemists who can refine top-grade elixirs."
"That's right. Senior Han has a very high talent for alchemy. With time, Senior Han may be able to advance to the Mahayana stage."
"It's not that easy to advance to the Mahayana stage. There are many combined cultivators in major forces such as the Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance. So far, there is only one Mahayana cultivator in the Chiyang Star Region, Senior Qian. We can only say that Senior Han has a certain chance."
The monks were chatting and talking non-stop.
In the middle of the island, there is a mountain that rises high into the clouds. On the top of the mountain sits a magnificent palace with three large characters "Nine Dragon Palace" inscribed on a plaque.
The hall was spacious and bright. Han Changming and dozens of other clansmen stood in front of a green altar table with solemn expressions.
There are many spirit tablets placed on the green altar, which are the rankings of the Han family's ancestors.
"Ancestors, from today on, our family will have a combined cultivator. I hope that our ancestors will protect our family and make it better and better."
After Han Zhangxiang said this, he lit a bunch of sandalwood, inserted it into the incense burner, and knelt down. Han Changming and others followed suit and knelt down, kowtowed three times.
After bowing to their ancestors, Han Zhangxiang and others stood up.
"Chang Ming, you are the protagonist today, you take care of the rest!"
Han Zhangxiang said.
Han Changming nodded and said, "After worshipping our ancestors, let's go and greet the guests! Don't keep them waiting for too long."
After leaving the Nine Dragon Hall, a loud bell rang.
"Please welcome Patriarch Changming."
A powerful male voice sounded, spreading across half of Kowloon Island.
Han Changming shook his wrist lightly, and a golden light flew out. It turned out to be a huge golden crow with golden feathers all over its body and golden eyes. It was the Golden Boy and the Golden Crow.
Han Changming walked to the back of Jintong Jinwu, followed closely by Ye Xue and Ye Xin.
The Golden Boy and the Golden Crow flapped their wings gently and flew high into the sky at a very fast speed. Han Zhangxiang and others turned into rays of light, broke through the air and landed on the bluestone square.
The Golden Boy and the Golden Crow appeared above the bluestone square, and Han Changming and his wife and two others stood on the backs of the Golden Boy and the Golden Crow.
Tens of thousands of cultivators stood up one after another, and those below the fusion level all said, "Greetings to Senior Han (Changming Patriarch)."
The voice echoed in the sky, and the Han family cultivators were filled with pride.
When Han Changming saw this scene, he was filled with emotion. He had practiced Taoism for many years and had suffered so much, but he finally reached this point.
All the cultivators congratulated together, what a magnificent scene it was.
"Go down!"
Han Changming ordered.
The Golden Boy and the Golden Crow slowly flew down to the rostrum, and Han Changming and his wife and two others jumped down.
With a flash of golden light, the Golden Boy and the Golden Crow transformed into Han Yan's appearance and stood aside with a respectful look.
Ye Xue picked up the wine jug on the jade table and poured three cups of spirit wine, one cup for each of them.
Han Changming picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you all for coming from afar to congratulate me. I'd like to toast you all."
After saying this, he drank up the wine in the cup.
Ye Xue and Ye Xin also drank up the wine in their glasses. The other monks did not dare to be negligent and picked up their glasses and drank up the wine.
"The Zhao family congratulates Senior Han on his advancement to the fusion stage and presents him with five 30,000-year-old spiritual herbs, a piece of 100,000-year-old jade bamboo, two seventh-level demon pills, and a Tongtian spiritual treasure, the Golden Crow Cauldron. This treasure has an enhanced effect on alchemy."
Zhao Tianzong walked forward, took out a green storage ring and handed it to Han Fangyuan.
"The Seven Immortals Merchant Alliance sent two seventh-level demon pills, ten twenty-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, a seventh-level beast hide, and two Tongtian spiritual treasures to congratulate Senior Han on his advancement to the fusion stage."
"Tian Dan Palace congratulates Senior Han on his advancement to the fusion stage and presents him with a bottle of Qian Kun Yu Miao Dan, ten 20,000-year-old spiritual medicines, and five Tong Tian spiritual treasures."
"The Xie family sent a Linglong fruit, five 30,000-year-old spiritual medicines, two seventh-level demon pills, and a set of Tongtian Lingbao Huangsha Banners to congratulate Senior Han on reaching a higher level."
······
The guests presented their gifts one after another, among which the gift from the Xie family was the most valuable, even more valuable than that from the Zhao family.
"Linglong fruit!"
A flash of surprise crossed Han Changming's eyes. Linglong Fruit is one of the ten magical fruits. When cultivators eat Linglong Fruit, their spiritual awareness will surge. This is permanent, not temporary. A strong spiritual awareness has many benefits. Who wouldn't want their spiritual awareness to be stronger
Han Fangyuan smiled from ear to ear and accepted these things.
After the guest representatives presented their gifts, the monks toasted each other, chatted, talked about everything under the sun, and laughed in a warm atmosphere.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. It's not easy for you to come all the way here to congratulate Fellow Daoist Han!"
Zhao Changqing said with a smile, feeling a little depressed.
The gift sent by the Zhao family was very valuable, but the gift sent by the Xie family was even more valuable, which made the Zhao family lose face.
The Han family and the Zhao family are in-laws. When Han Changming advanced to the fusion stage, the gift sent by the Zhao family was not as good as that from the Xie family. This inevitably makes people think too much.
"Fellow Daoist Han attended our ancestor's birthday and gave him a top-grade Seven-Colored Jade Ganoderma Pill. This time, Fellow Daoist Han is holding a fusion ceremony. If our ancestor hadn't been busy, he would have come to congratulate Fellow Daoist Han."
Xie Yifeng explained.
He knew it was not good to suppress the Zhao family, but he just wanted to express his gratitude.
Thanks to the top-grade Seven-Colored Jade Pill given by Han Changming, the Xie family gave birth to a spiritual being, who was being trained as a key target, but the outside world was not aware of it.
The Xie family is really lucky. If nothing unexpected happens, in many years, the Xie family will have one more fusion cultivator.
Han Changming has advanced to the fusion stage and can refine seventh-level elixirs. The Xie family wanted to get closer to Han Changming, so they specially sent Xie Yifeng to congratulate him. However, the gift they sent was too small, so there was no need to send Xie Yifeng at all.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your kindness. To be honest, I can get to where I am today thanks to the help of the Zhao family. Fellow Daoist Xie and Fellow Daoist Zhao, I offer a toast to you."
Han Changming raised his glass and drank it all.
He was telling them that he didn't think much about it and was very grateful to both the Zhao family and the Xie family.
Zhao Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Han Changming would think too much. Things are different now. Han Changming has become a fusion cultivator. The Zhao family cares a lot about Han Changming's attitude towards the Zhao family.
Xie Yifeng and Zhao Changqing raised their glasses and drank up the wine.
After more than two hours, the banquet ended and the guests left one after another.
At Qianyang Peak, Han Changming, Xie Yifeng, Zhao Changqing, Yang Lei and Liu Qing sat in a yellow stone pavilion chatting, sipping tea and talking.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I didn't expect you to have been to the Qinglian Star Region. Have you ever entered the Wanling Cave Heaven?"
Liu Qing asked casually.
"No, I have heard of the Wanling Cave Heaven. How come Brother Liu has entered the Wanling Cave Heaven?"
Han Changming said with a smile.
Liu Qing shook his head and said, "No, I think your spiritual bird is quite extraordinary. It should be a spiritual bird with the blood of the Golden Crow!"
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you can tell from my appearance that my spiritual bird has the blood of the Golden Crow? Fellow Daoist Liu has the body of a mysterious beast?"
Han Changming asked in confusion.
There is only one word difference between the body of a mysterious beast and the body of a celestial beast, but the gap is not small, and the two are very different.
The owner of the body of a mysterious beast can sense the purity of the spirit beast's bloodline and explore its ancestors. He can determine the bloodline of the spirit beast or bird, which is equivalent to a mobile demon-detecting plate.
The body of a celestial beast has a great affinity for demonic beasts, and it is easier for the possessor to subdue demonic beasts of the same level.
"That's not the case. I have a treasure in my hand that can sense the breath of a spiritual bird with the blood of the Golden Crow. I thought you got that spiritual bird from the Cave of Ten Thousand Spirits."
Liu Qing explained.
Han Changming suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. My spiritual bird does have the bloodline of the Golden Crow, but it was not obtained from the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven."
"Is Fellow Daoist Liu interested in Wanling Cave Heaven because he is a descendant of the True Spirit?"
Xie Yifeng spoke up.
Liu Qing nodded and said, "I have been to Qinglian Star Region to do business. I heard that someone got a spirit beast egg from Wanling Cave Heaven. It is said to be the descendant of the True Spirit."
"Descendants of the True Spirit? Is there such a good thing in the Cave of Ten Thousand Spirits?"
Zhao Changqing said in surprise.
"They say they are descendants, but I don't know how many generations they have been bred. Their bloodline is very weak. Monster beasts are judged by the purity of their bloodline, which has little to do with who their ancestors are."
Xie Yifeng disagreed.
He was born in the Qinglian Star Region and knew more about this matter.
"I heard that the Immortal Master of Creation raised a true spirit, whose blood purity reached level nine. That is a true true spirit."
Liu Qing's face was full of envy.
"I just heard about it. Who knows if it's true or not? I even doubt that there is such a person as the Immortal Venerable of Creation. I have only heard of his name but have never seen anything of his. It is difficult to verify it."
Yang Lei said.
There are many different opinions about the existence of the Immortal Lord of Creation. Some say that he is a fictional powerful being, some say that he really exists, and some say that he is a combination of multiple powerful beings.
"Yes! After so many years, no cultivator has discovered the Taoist temple of the Immortal Master of Creation, nor has anyone obtained his main cultivation method or the treasures he used. However, the Sutra Pavilions of many major forces have recorded the existence of the Mysterious Spiritual Master, so it should not be false."
Xie Yifeng expressed his opinion.
