World's No. 1 Swordsman-Chapter 606: Pure Yang Bestows Treasures, Great Dao Sword Case

Chapter 606: Pure Yang Bestows Treasures, Great Dao Sword Case

It was quite obvious that his forefather was still rather "impoverished" at present.

Chun Yangzi was, at the very least, a top-tier expert and an old member of the Heavenly Court. He had reached the very peak of cultivation realms, making him one of the rare great powers with divine ability across the Three Realms.

Nevertheless, the treasures he bestowed upon his Daoist heritage's most outstanding disciple were not even as practical as the things that Wang Sheng had tinkered together himself using Dawnlight.

Inside the jade thumb ring were several portions of top-tier Spirit Stones, some precious materials, and a handful of celestial pills and spiritual herbs. To an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, this would already count as a considerable sum of "wealth." But to Wang Sheng, who had seen the stockpiles in the Small Immortal Realm, these things were nothing to be pleasantly surprised about.

Instead, it was the "miscellaneous items" piled up in the jade thumb ring's corner that truly caught his interest.

He first took out two Daoist robes and spread them open to take a look, discovering that they were actually just ordinary immortal treasures. Their only standout feature was their handsome design. A Tai Chi diagram was embroidered on the back, and the two front buttons were shaped like lotus flowers.

Huai Jing cleared his throat. "Ding! Congratulations, Benefactor, on obtaining two pieces of 'Daoist robe imbued with the forefather's natural fragrance.'"

Wang Sheng was momentarily speechless. Beside him, Mu Wanxuan and Zhang Zikuang burst into laughter.

Afterward, he fished out a meditation cushion and a cyan lamp that were anything but ordinary.

Huai Jing pinched his throat again and said, "Ding! Congratulations, Benefactor, on unlocking the achievement 'Forefather's personal items.' Collect the full set of the forefather's personal belongings to receive a pair of his slippers."

"Stop fooling around, Buddhist Master," Wang Sheng complained.

Huai Jing immediately straightened up and seriously added, "That cyan lamp is valuable. It seems to be a Natural Treasure."

"Oh?" Wang Sheng's spirits immediately rose as he carefully examined the cyan lamp.

The others also gathered around. The news of Wang Sheng's encounter with their sect's forefather had drawn over everyone except for Gao Shixing, who was still in seclusion.

Fei Lianzi asked curiously, "What does that treasure do?"

Huai Jing said, "The cyan lamp should be a rather famous treasure from the Immortal Realm back in the day. Please enlighten us, Your Highness."

Yaoyun examined it carefully for a while. She then softly answered, "That's the Five-Star Firefly Lamp, a Natural Treasure. However, it only has one function: to help its user quickly comprehend their Daoist realm."

Wang Sheng looked as though he had come to a realization. Having been involved in the blood mine incident, he immediately regarded the spirit lamp as a precious treasure.

He asked, "How do I use it?"

"Just keep it on you. When using it, place it in front of you and let your immortal perception probe into it. You will gradually be guided into a profound state. Once a cultivator hits a bottleneck, their Dao Heart becomes unsettled, which often becomes the very root of the bottleneck itself. Hence, for cultivators in such a predicament, this treasure is a priceless, once-in-a-lifetime find. "

Wang Sheng immediately handed the cyan lamp to Mu Wanxuan, who paused for a moment but still accepted it. There was no need for excessive politeness between her and Wang Sheng. She simply hesitated because she momentarily considered whether she or her junior brother should use it.

Wang Sheng said, "We always go into seclusion together anyway. Just keep it with you, Senior Sister."

The Daoist masters immediately broke into busybody aunt and uncle smiles...

Having already begun revealing the treasures' uses, Yaoyun pointed at the meditation cushion. "That has an even more special effect. Have you heard of the powerful treasure known as the Wind and Fire Cushion? Sitting upon it allows one to command the Great Dao of Wind and the Great Dao of Fire, enabling a Taiyi Golden Immortal to rival even a Grand Dao Immortal.

"One of the Heavenly Court's renowned experts crafted that cushion as an imitation of the Wind and Fire Cushion. However, its effects are far inferior, or rather, somewhat different.

"Sitting on it in battle increases one's control over the Dao of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, doubling the effectiveness of their techniques. During daily cultivation, sitting on it deepens one's understanding of their own Dao."

Wang Sheng smiled. "These two treasures are just what Senior Sister needs right now."

Yaoyun said, "Hua Qing originally belonged to the Pure Yang lineage. Chun Yangzi certainly made careful considerations when gifting these items."

Chun Yangzi could sense the Pure Yang Immortal Power within Wang Sheng, who was on Fengmo, all the way from the Great Buddha statue. Naturally, Mu Wanxuan's shift from Pure Yang to the Great Dao of Yin and Yang couldn't be kept from an elder of his standing.

Wang Sheng originally thought that the pile of "miscellaneous items" was of little use. However, Yaoyun's explanation made him treat the remaining treasures with much greater seriousness.

He resumed taking them out one by one, starting with a wooden hairpin that was clearly also meant for Mu Wanxuan. It contained Cyan Wood essence, matching Mu Wanxuan's former identity as Hua Qing and her Great Dao. Chun Yangzi had likely bestowed it casually.

Lightly swaying the wooden hairpin in nearby rivers would transform the river's water into spiritual medicine that could dispel epidemics, which was essential when encountering plagues or disasters. Moreover, if one came across a heavily injured cultivator, lightly pricking their fingertip with the hairpin could extend their life a little. The exact effect depended on the injury's severity, though.

The hairpin was naturally given to Mu Wanxuan. When she picked it up with slight embarrassment, Huai Jing made another "ding" sound at the side.

"Congratulations, Fairy, on successfully changing your role to battlefield support healer."

The group couldn't help but smile.

Having received three treasures, Mu Wanxuan firmly refused to take more.

Chun Yangzi had clearly left some valuable items for Wang Sheng as well. They seemed somewhat unconventional at first glance, but a closer examination revealed that they were extremely useful.

First were two leaf-shaped jade pieces. Wang Sheng didn't have to think too much to know what their use was. After infusing them with immortal power, they floated on their own before his eyes like a pair of rimless spectacles.

When he glanced at Mu Wanxuan, his Adam's apple bobbed.

The leaves stripped away immortal garbs from their user's vision. Even if the graceful and slender Mu Wanxuan was in a Forged Spiritual Treasure, the leaves made her look as though she were only dressed in light underclothes.

Seemingly coming to a realization, Yaoyun raised her hand to hit Wang Sheng.

However, Wang Sheng was already at the late stage of the True Immortal Realm, at the very least. He flickered, reappeared several meters away, then glanced at Yaoyun.

As he had expected, all he saw through the jade piece was Spiritless—her true form.

Fiend-eye jade could see through a cultivator's disguise and even the forms of fiends, devils, spirits, and other beings. However, one had to cover their eyes with the jade pieces, which made them look rather odd.

"Good stuff, good stuff."

Wang Sheng sighed with emotion and carefully put them away.

Yaoyun had an indignant expression, yet the others still had no idea what had just happened. Even Wang Sheng found it hard to explain.

Although he and Mu Wanxuan were Daoist partners and childhood sweethearts with plans of marriage, he had clearly just peeped on her.

Among the remaining two treasures was a pair of boots "imbued with the forefather's body fragrance." They were the most normal of the lot, likely of first-grade Spiritual Treasure quality. After Wang Sheng imbued them with immortal power and put them on, he began to feel lighter, noticeably increasing his speed.

For some reason, it felt like the boots were meant to be used together with the jade pieces. Combined, they allowed their user to stroll through the Jade Pool and then bolt away.

Calm down, calm down.

The treasures that his forefather had given him were absolutely meant to enhance his combat power, allowing him to better survive in the endless space.

The final treasure was a silver-white scabbard that felt completely weightless. It was unclear what material it was made from. It initially didn't seem particularly special, but after holding it for a while, Wang Sheng felt the several great sword intents within him all gently resonate with it at once.

They seemed quite eager for the scabbard.

Fei Lianzi curiously asked, "What treasure is that? I'm a member of a sword sect, yet even I have never heard of anyone treating a scabbard as a treasure."

Yaoyun couldn't make sense of it either. She sat to the side, lost in thought.

Each took turns holding the scabbard. Huai Jing couldn't figure out what kind of treasure it was either. However, since it came from Chun Yangzi, the more strange and unusual it was, the greater its potential use could be.

Zhang Zikuang asked, "Why not try putting it on your back?"

Wang Sheng nodded. He slung the scabbard onto his back without much thought.

At that moment, his expression grew complicated. He retreated five steps at once and raised his hand, stopping Mu Wanxuan and Yaoyun from rushing forward. Afterward, he allowed the scabbard on his back to unleash a streak of silver light, wrapping him into an egg-shaped cocoon.

Wang Sheng stood unmoving as several sword intents within him rang out. Meanwhile, his Primordial Spirit felt as though it had been pulled into a wondrous expanse of drifting clouds and mist.

His Heavenly Ziwei Sword Intent, Pure Yang Sword Intent, Dual-Polarity Sword Intent, Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent, and Heavenly Tribulation Sword Intent all circled Wang Sheng.

His heart stirred as he raised his head and looked at the clouds, only to see a towering pagoda on them. Within it seemed to hang countless immortal swords. Moreover, the Great Dao of the Sword seemingly ran through the entire place.

This is... a Great Dao sword case!

Wang Sheng's Dao Heart was shaken beyond measure, and a trace of impulse rose within him to fly toward the entrance of the pagoda. However, he reminded himself that the time wasn't right yet.

When he thought of leaving, the surrounding clouds and mist rapidly dispersed, revealing the rear courtyard once more.

Mu Wanxuan and the others looked at him with concern.

"What just happened? Fei Yu, what did the scabbard do?"

"It's a Great Dao sword case," Wang Sheng replied. He then held the scabbard and examined it closely.

The seamless silver scabbard had no carvings at all. At its opening, a thin membrane could be seen upon closer inspection. When he touched it, it proved to be quite sturdy.

"This scabbard isn't for swords. The scabbard itself is the treasure," Wang Sheng said. "I don't know which Dao of the Sword master refined it, but perhaps the forefather himself crafted it. Inside it is a pagoda with dozens of floors. I only glanced at it from afar, but it seemed to contain countless sword intents.

Yaoyun remarked, "This is undoubtedly a cultivation treasure. I have never heard of Chun Yangzi possessing one."

Wang Sheng smiled. "The forefather wouldn't screw with me."

He ran his fingers lightly across the scabbard as he passed it to the others to examine for a while. Afterward, he finally put it away.

On second thought, Wang Sheng thought this was only natural. Anything Chun Yangzi gave away could never truly be just a pile of miscellaneous junk.

While unlocking a whole series of achievements related to the "forefather's body fragrance," it was only fitting that Wang Sheng would also find at least one treasure so profound that it defied explanation, matching Chun Yangzi's status as a great power.

"It is a pity that Master isn't here. He didn't get the chance to personally pay respects to the forefather." Wang Sheng sighed softly. He then quickly lifted his spirits and shifted everyone's attention away from the matter. "It's about time we move on to the next step of our plan. Instructor Zhang, should we have the Special Warfare Unit and each of the Daoist sects dispatch a group of experts?"

Zhang Zikuang laughed. "Fei Yu, your opinion now carries more weight than a hundred of me combined. Just draw up a plan, and I will submit it for review."

"Let's discuss it now, then."

Wang Sheng shook his sleeves. He took out the "cloth lunch bag" from his jade thumb ring and placed it on the stone table.
