"Of course, this is the Divine Wood Pearl. It is the most profound of the Five Elements Pearls," Changyin said proudly. "Do you know what the Five Elements Pearls are?"
"I don't know," Jiang Wen shook his head. He knew about the Five Elements, but he didn't quite understand what these Five Elements Pearls were. Judging from the name, they were probably related to the Five Elements.
"The so-called Five Elements Pearls refer to five precious pearls that combine the creation of heaven and earth. This item is recorded in the ancient emperor's travelogue, which says: The Five Elements Pearls are the Pearls of True Water, Heavenly Fire, Vajra, Divine Wood, and Thick Earth. Obtaining these five pearls can create wind, water, fire, and earth, combining yin and yang, heaven and earth. Their mystery is infinite and difficult for ordinary people to fathom. Each Five Elements Pearl has its own unique magical power, just like the True Water Pearl can contain the water of a hundred rivers and moisten thousands of miles of dry land. Its source of water is endless and lasts for eternity," Changyin said, readily familiar with these things, speaking eloquently.
"So the Five Elements Pearls have such abilities," Jiang Wen understood.
"Furthermore, this Divine Wood Pearl is the master of the essence of plants and trees. It contains infinite vitality and can regenerate flesh from bones and bring the dead back to life. No matter how severe the injury, it can be restored with this Divine Wood Pearl. As long as you wear this Divine Wood Pearl on your body, you will not fear any poison in the world. Now you understand why the Divine Wood Pearl is the most profound of the Five Elements Pearls."
"It's really useful," Jiang Wen said, looking at the Divine Wood Pearl, feeling that this wooden pearl was the most useful. He thought of Jiang Wenji's matter, perhaps this Divine Wood Pearl could also have some effect on her. So he said to Changyin, "You risked your life to obtain this wooden pearl, I won't force you to give it to me, but can I exchange it with you for another Five Elements Pearl?"
Jiang Wen's words stunned Changyin. She raised her head to look at this person and asked in confusion, "You, you want to exchange with me?"
"Naturally, this is what you obtained, I won't take it," Jiang Wen nodded. He still had basic principles in life. Since it was a secret realm adventure, naturally everyone would keep what they obtained. However, if the other party was an utterly villainous person, then don't blame him for not being ethical.
"...You, you're really stupid," Changyin sighed. "I've already given you the pearl, and you're still asking me this. You're really... really a big fool."
"Living in the world, there should always be things one wants to do. How can this be called foolish?" Jiang Wen laughed. "I won't take advantage of you, so let's exchange one item for another, how about it?"
"No," Changyin shook her head. "The Five Elements Pearls are of no use to me. They might be more suitable for you. Since you've said so, it's not good for me to refuse. I'll take a promise from you in exchange for this Divine Wood Pearl."
"A promise?" Jiang Wen frowned. "But this promise cannot violate my bottom line."
"Don't worry, it naturally won't embarrass you. If the promise I make violates your bottom line, you don't have to fulfill it," Changyin raised her small face and looked at Jiang Wen seriously. This expression was rare for her, so Jiang Wen believed her.
"Okay, what promise is it, tell me," Jiang Wen said.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I've thought about it," Changyin curled her lips, quite proudly playing with her temples. Then she stretched and looked at the Divine Wood Palace not far away. "Let's go, we should go in."
"I really can't do anything with you," Jiang Wen shook his head, not knowing what to say about Changyin's words. This answer was like something written in a novel, perhaps she hadn't thought about what promise she wanted.
The tiger standing beside them listened to the conversation between the two, scratching his head in confusion. After hearing that they were going to the Divine Wood Palace, he finally came back to his senses: "Speaking of which, Brother Jiang, what were you talking about just now? Why didn't I understand?"
"You'll understand after you've experienced it a few more times," Jiang Wen said mysteriously.
"Ah?" The tiger was confused.
There were no dangers on the road to the Divine Wood Palace, and the group quickly arrived at the foot of the palace wall.
This Divine Wood Palace was not as tall as the Heavenly Fire Palace, built on flat ground, with lush vegetation.
The huge tree was located in the center of the palace, and everyone could feel its vastness and enormity when they looked up.
"This tree is actually the origin of the Divine Wood Palace, its name is Heavenly Construction Divine Wood. If you have read the ancient emperor's travelogue, you should probably know about the Construction Wood tree. And the big tree in front of you is the Construction Wood," Changyin said softly, looking at the big tree.
Although Jiang Wen had not finished reading the ancient emperor's travelogue, he also knew that being named Construction Wood, this tree must be extraordinary. In the myths he knew, Construction Wood was the ancient divine tree, undying and indestructible, connecting heaven and earth. It could communicate with heaven, earth, humans, and gods, allowing people and gods to walk together on the earth.
Later, an emperor broke the Construction Wood, isolating the connection between heaven and earth. Thus, people could walk on the earth and become the leader of all spirits.
Given the legends, what kind of existence was this Construction Wood in the Pure Yang Cave Abode?
He remembered what the ginseng spirit had said and looked at Changyin, "I just saw a person imprisoned on that Construction Wood, do you know who this person is?"
"I know him," Changyin said. "He is also one of the three corpses of the Pure Yang Master, the same as the one in the pill furnace."
"You once said that the saint of the Pure Yang Palace transformed into a Heavenly Drought Demon, is the person you were talking about this Pure Yang Master?" Jiang Wen asked again.
Changyin fell silent, and after a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "Yes, the Pure Yang Master is the saint who transformed into a Heavenly Drought Demon."
"Who exactly is this Pure Yang Master? And why did he build this Pure Yang Cave Abode Immortal Palace?" Jiang Wen asked in confusion, just staring at Changyin, thinking that this girl must know the secrets. Even she herself had some kind of connection with the Pure Yang Master, could she be a descendant of the Pure Yang Master?
"..." Changyin listened to Jiang Wen's words, her face showing entanglement. But not long after, her eyes showed determination, and she looked at Jiang Wen and said, "You should know how difficult it is to step into the Sendai Saint Realm."
"Throughout countless years, there are only a handful of saints. During the Great War against the Taicang, there were only six saints who entered the world. These six saints alone changed the world."
"The Pure Yang Master is the founder of the Pure Yang Palace. He studied medicine in his youth, and after hearing the story of Shennong, he traveled everywhere to visit immortals and cultivate. Unfortunately, the Pure Yang Master had no spiritual roots and could not obtain the path of cultivation. After decades of wandering, he finally discovered the path of Qi refining in the book written by Shennong,"
Changyin said with some reminiscence.
"The Pure Yang Master cultivated the basic Qi refining techniques left by Shennong and entered the path of cultivation through his own research. His path of cultivation was different from others, and no one could guide him on the path ahead. But the Pure Yang Master was also lucky. He obtained a precious pearl when he was most confused. That pearl was called the Pure Yang Jade Pearl, and it was also a treasure that guided the Pure Yang Master to embark on the path."
Changyin looked at the central palace in the distance, the Pure Yang Jade Pearl shining brightly above it.
