Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2361 - 821: Choosing a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure

"These are the ancient rules set by the Ancestral Sages of the Human Race; no one is allowed to break them!"

Upon saying this, he also solemnly cast a serious gaze at Zhou Chun and said: "So, even if Tai Geng previously had high hopes for your Successful Divine Transformation, he can’t break the rules by letting you prematurely communicate with and refine those Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures to borrow their power for crossing the tribulation. Doing so would avoid causing irreparable damage!"

"These are understood by this junior, and this junior agrees with this approach."

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly to express his agreement.

Seeing this, Changchun Venerable’s expression relaxed, and he turned to smile and said: "But since you’ve already achieved Successful Divine Transformation, according to the rules, you can now choose an unclaimed Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure as your Own Path-Guarding Treasure!"

After saying this, he turned his gaze to the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable and said: "Tai Geng, what do you think?"

"Of course, according to the rules, it should be so!"

The incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable nodded without hesitation, readily agreeing.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun’s face scarcely concealed his excitement, and he immediately asked: "I wonder which Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure I can choose as the Path-Guarding Treasure? And where should I go to select it?"

Changchun Venerable replied calmly: "In our Human Clan, there remain three unclaimed Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures: the Roc Soaring Sword, the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Fan, and the Thousand Mountains Map. The former two are temporarily kept by Tai Geng and myself, while the latter is overseen by Xuanwu!"

"You can try to refine each one and see if you can gain recognition from the Artifact Spirit, or you can select one to refine and communicate with it long term!"

After saying this, he fell silent, awaiting Zhou Chun’s decision.

Upon hearing the answer, Zhou Chun also furrowed his brows in contemplation.

After reaching the Deity Transformation Stage, since one can command the five elemental energies of nature, any Spiritual Treasure’s attributes in the hands of a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator can display their Divine Skills. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

However, Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures condense Dao Scripts and possess the ability to mobilize the Power of the Great Dao Laws. If the Great Dao Laws within them differ from one’s own path, then only the treasure’s inherent power can be exerted, without any additive effects.

Conversely, if one’s mastered Great Dao Laws coincide with those embodied by the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, it can result in an overlapping amplification effect, unleashing power beyond the treasure’s intrinsic limits!

Moreover, since the Great Dao Laws mastered by both parties coincide, when the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure receives nurturing from its owner through refining, long-term exposure to the owner’s Great Dao Laws also aids its growth, providing potential for future rank advancement.

For this reason, during the selection of owners, the Artifact Spirit of Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures typically does not choose those whose comprehended Great Dao Laws differ from their own.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and for some unclaimed Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures, having a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator willing to expend Essence Energy to nurture them is definitely beneficial.

Otherwise, though they can absorb nature’s spiritual energy to maintain themselves, that’s just maintenance, and further growth is impossible.

This is why Changchun Venerable suggested that Zhou Chun try them all.

After pondering for a long while at this point, Zhou Chun suddenly had a thought and looked toward the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable, asking: "Does Senior Tai Geng have any suggestions?"

After all, he is a newly ascended deity and has never personally wielded a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, remaining exceedingly unfamiliar with such treasures.

But Tai Geng Divine Venerable is a seasoned Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator and has personally cultivated a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, certainly possessing a deeper understanding.

Asking the other party for advice surely couldn’t be wrong.

Upon hearing his words, the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable considered briefly before nodding and saying: "All right, since you actively inquire, I’ll share my views."

"In my opinion, you should immediately exclude the Thousand Mountains Map. Not only is Xuanwu difficult to communicate with, but the treasure’s own uses are not suitable for you. If your Grand Universe Suppressing Spirit Tower can ascend to become a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, it would surely be better than it!"

"As for the Roc Soaring Sword and Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Fan, each has its strengths. The former aligns with your Great Dao Laws, making acknowledgment easier and allowing you to unleash its maximal power. The latter is a famed exotic treasure in our Human Clan’s history; its previous owner was even a Divine Transformation Middle Stage Cultivator, and if the refining succeeds, the benefits will undoubtedly be substantial!"

Listening to this analysis, Zhou Chun furrowed his brows.

Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation mentioned that dealing with Xuanwu Venerable is difficult, which clearly implies something deeper.

Zhou Chun logged this in his mind but did not inquire further.

He then turned to Changchun Venerable and said: "Senior Changchun, then I’ll first attempt to refine and communicate with the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Fan, and if unsuccessful, I will try with the Roc Soaring Sword."

"Hmm, then come with me."

Changchun Venerable nodded, not procrastinating, and immediately led Zhou Chun to the place where the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Fan was enshrined.

The Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Fan is managed by Changchun Venerable, although he was unable to refine this treasure. To preserve the treasure’s essence from dissipating, it is enshrined in a special place within Changchun Valley.

This place is atop a mountain peak within Changchun Valley, where thunder descends from the sky during stormy weather, striking the summit.

Under the guidance of Changchun Venerable, after traversing the Formation to reach this location, Zhou Chun saw a green Banana Leaf Fan covered in silver thunder patterns being enshrined on a black stone platform, which was already riddled with cracks.

"This treasure possesses immense power, and its Artifact Spirit has a proud and fiery temperament. Taoist Friend Zhou, you may try, but don’t attempt forced refinement."
