Chapter 730: Chapter 730

"Shouzhe, this is...?" Changchun Immortal, rising from the brink of death, was somewhat surprised.

"Master, this is an ancient teleportation talisman I acquired by chance," Wang Shouzhe replied, equally puzzled. "Could it be somehow connected to your Green Jade Compass?"

"The Green Jade Compass," Changchun Immortal recalled carefully, "seems to be related to the first generation master of Green Emperor Valley in the Holy Land. He discovered a wood-type inheritance ground and relocated it back to the Holy Land to establish Green Emperor Valley. The Green Jade Compass was found along with it, but its purpose has always been unknown."

"Who cares what it's for," Lu Wei said dismissively. "Since the Green Jade Compass resonates with the teleportation talisman, they must be a set. Why not try it and see?"

Senior Brother Jinshan objected, "But Master is about to ascend to immortality. Shouldn't we finish Master's matters first before trying?"

Changchun Immortal almost choked on his breath and passed away on the spot.

He cursed, "Jinshan, you dog, do you want me to die with a huge curiosity?"

"In that case, let's give it a try first," Wang Shouzhe decided, and with a flick of his hand, he drew the Green Jade Compass to him, infusing it with his divine sense along with the ancient teleportation talisman.

The Green Jade Compass is a spatial coordinate positioning treasure, with spatial formations on it. Combined with the ancient teleportation talisman, it can open a teleportation space.

Clearly, the ancient teleportation talisman acts as a key, while the Green Jade Compass serves as the door. Together, they open the space behind the door.

Typically, spatial portals require specific locations to open. For example, the space where the Officer Academy is located cannot be accessed without finding the corresponding spatial node, even if you have the key.

But the Green Jade Compass evidently solves this problem.

With it, you can open a spatial portal anywhere, functioning like a directional door that allows you to enter and exit the space at will, making it much more convenient.

However, didn't Little Holy Emperor say that the origin of this ancient teleportation talisman is mysterious, and he couldn't find the corresponding teleportation array?

This Green Jade Compass comes from a wood-type inheritance ground, and it's likely related to the Green Emperor lineage. Could Little Holy Emperor not know?

Or perhaps the words he left in the treasure box were just to mislead?

Wang Shouzhe was momentarily puzzled but didn't dwell on it. Whatever the case, he'll find out once he goes in.

Vast amounts of profound energy poured into the Green Jade Compass and the ancient teleportation talisman, their green light growing brighter until they clicked together as if they were always meant to be.

A green spatial door slowly opened.

Through the energy-distorted door, one could vaguely see pavilions and terraces, surrounded by blooming flowers.

"To prevent any accidents, Senior Sister, you take Master, and I'll take Senior Brother Jinshan to scout ahead," Wang Shouzhe instructed, then wrapped Senior Brother Jinshan in profound energy and led him through the spatial door.

Wang Shouzhe found himself in an exceptionally beautiful place.

Towering green trees surrounded him, lush vegetation carpeted the ground, and dense wood-attribute spiritual energy filled the forest, light as morning mist. Even breathing seemed to convey the vibrant life in the air.

However, this place was mostly filled with spirit plants and herbs, with few animals.

At least, there weren't any nearby.

Once it was confirmed safe, Senior Sister Lu Wei also brought Changchun Immortal into this world.

"This place... looks like a small world?" Senior Sister Lu Wei frowned slightly. "But it seems a bit small, probably a miniature world."

Wang Shouzhe immediately expanded his divine sense, spreading it in all directions.

With his current divine sense strength, he could easily cover the entire area of the original Xinping Town.

Of course, he wouldn't usually do this at home.

But here, he had no such concerns and could explore every corner without restraint.

The spiritual energy here was dense like mist, with several rare immortal-grade spiritual veins buried underground. However, the space wasn't large, spanning only about a hundred miles, much smaller than the legendary worlds.

Yet within this hundred-mile range, towering spirit trees grew, and in the center was a clear lake exuding rich Yi Wood spiritual energy, with various sizes of spirit fish and shrimp swimming within.

Beside the lake stood a small cluster of buildings, their jade tiles and vermilion pavilions exuding an ancient charm.

As Wang Shouzhe explored.

A pleasant female voice suddenly came from within the jade buildings: "Oh my, I've waited so many years, and you've finally come... Hmm, seems you're not alone."

As she spoke, a green light flew out from the jade buildings, spinning around Wang Shouzhe and the others before landing in front of him.

It was a green bottle.

The bottle was small, slightly larger than a palm, with elegant lines as if carved from jade, exuding a rich and profound Yi Wood aura, its presence mysterious and unfathomable.

The surrounding air seemed to become fresher under the influence of this Yi Wood aura.

"Welcome, successor of Little Holy Emperor."

As she spoke, a small girl dressed in a green skirt, looking like a fairy, appeared on the green bottle.

She curtsied gracefully to Wang Shouzhe, greeting him politely.

"Hey, why do you assume Junior Brother Shouzhe is the successor?" Senior Brother Jinshan protested, shaking his head. "I'm also a bona fide wood-type bloodline."

The little girl glanced at the four of them: "Among you, one is an old man with exhausted lifespan, one has a trash bloodline talent, one has an unusual aura, seemingly already possessing some Immortal Scripture, only this handsome young man has an extraordinary aura, clearly the heir of His Highness."

"Trash bloodline talent?" Senior Brother Jinshan immediately objected, jumping up. "I'm a grand prodigy with Yi Wood bloodline."

"Isn't that trash?" The little girl in the green skirt said arrogantly, not even wanting to look at him. "If you hadn't been lucky, you'd be stuck at the Divine Realm at best, with no qualifications to be the successor of Little Holy Emperor."

Senior Brother Jinshan was left speechless, stunned into silence.

He once thought being a great prodigy was impressive, working hard to earn merits and finally becoming a great prodigy, only to be called trash bloodline.

Divine Realm, isn't Divine Realm potential strong enough?

"Little girl, are you the spirit artifact of this green jade bottle?" Wang Shouzhe asked politely.

"Yes, my full name is [Yi Wood Creation Bottle]," the little girl in the green skirt replied with a smile, "Can you guess my nickname? There's a reward if you get it right~"

"Little Wood? Little Creation? Hua Hua? Bottle Bottle..." Wang Shouzhe guessed several times.

"Oh, you're so annoying~ My name is 'Green Little Yi'..." Green Little Yi pouted, clearly upset, "I'm a dignified holy artifact, how could I have such names like bottles and jars. Anyway, since you practice the Green Emperor lineage's techniques and have obtained the treasure box left by Little Holy Emperor, your bloodline talent must be excellent. Tell me, how excellent is your bloodline talent?"

Green Little Yi's mood swings were truly unpredictable.

Wang Shouzhe secretly complained in his heart.

However, he didn't expect this little green bottle to be a holy artifact.

This was the first holy artifact Wang Shouzhe had ever seen, so he had to give her some face.

Wang Shouzhe spoke truthfully: "Like Ji Wushuang, I inherited one of the Green Emperor Sacred Diagrams from His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Currently, my cultivation is at the seventh level of the Divine Realm. As for bloodline talent, it's currently Heavenly Son Grade A, close to the level of a Holy Son."

"What? Heavenly Son Grade A? Close to a Holy Son..." Green Little Yi was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Wang Shouzhe, "Are you kidding me?"

"This... can be easily tested, there's no need to lie."

"But, this is too unbelievable..." Green Little Yi was dizzy, even the bottle started to wobble, and little golden stars seemed to appear above her head, "If you complete the Green Emperor Immortal Scripture, won't your bloodline at least reach the upper level of Heavenly Son Grade D? If you succeed in inheriting the Sacred Diagram at the Void Realm, you might directly reach Heavenly Son Grade B! In that case, wouldn't you qualify to compete for the Dao Child?"

"Yes," Wang Shouzhe calmly looked at Green Little Yi, "Is there a problem?"

"Is there a problem? There's a huge problem! Aren't you already surpassing Little Holy Emperor?" Green Little Yi blinked her big watery eyes, looking bewildered, "Back then, Little Holy Emperor was still a bit short of Heavenly Son Grade A at the Divine Realm. Even after inheriting the Immortal Scripture, he was still a bit short of a Holy Son. Yet even so, after inheriting the Sacred Diagram, his bloodline potential reached Heavenly Son Grade C, already surpassing the Holy Emperor. But you... you're almost at Heavenly Son Grade C without the Sacred Diagram."

Inheriting the [Immortal Scripture] does have a strong effect of cleansing and refining, but that's relative to peerless prodigy Grade A and B bloodlines. If the inheritor's talent is already around Heavenly Son Grade D, the effect is much weaker, but still quite significant.

However, once the bloodline reaches Heavenly Son Grade A or B, each small improvement becomes extremely difficult. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by noⅴelfire.net

As for bloodlines reaching the Holy Son level, it's even harder. Even inheriting the Sacred Diagram can only be considered effective.

She never expected to encounter someone with talent even stronger than Little Holy Emperor in her lifetime!

"Little girl, isn't it normal for my Junior Brother Shouzhe to surpass Little Holy Emperor?" Senior Brother Jinshan chimed in, "Is it worth making such a fuss?"

"Ignorance is bliss," Green Little Yi glared at Senior Brother Jinshan, "I'm talking to Brother Shouzhe, it's not your turn to interrupt, stay aside."

As she spoke, Green Little Yi slowly recovered from her shock.

She showed Wang Shouzhe a sweet smile: "I've been waiting here for Ji Wushuang's successor for so many years, and I never expected to meet Brother Shouzhe. Hehe~ If I had known, I would have been willing to wait another hundred thousand years. Hehe~ Brother Shouzhe is so handsome, much more handsome than Ji Wushuang."

This Green Little Yi, who had been calling Little Holy Emperor "His Highness" earlier, now started calling Wang Shouzhe "Brother Shouzhe" as if she had already forgotten about Ji Wushuang.

In an instant, Senior Brother Jinshan's tears fell.

How could the gap between people be so vast? Junior Brother Shouzhe is just a little bit more handsome, a little bit richer, and has slightly higher talent and bloodline than him, right?

Even Changchun Immortal, who was on the verge of ascension, was full of shock.

It turns out Shouzhe has already reached such heights, those Heavenly Son and Holy Son levels, he hadn't even heard of them.

No wonder, Changchun Immortal was just a local Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, with a bloodline barely reaching the prodigy level. He couldn't compare to Shouzhe, and even compared to Jinshan now, he was a whole level lower. Naturally, he couldn't imagine that Wang Shouzhe's talent was already so formidable.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe wouldn't boast about his talent for no reason. Even if Changchun Immortal noticed Wang Shouzhe's rapid cultivation speed, he would attribute it to the Wang Clan's wealth and abundant resources, without thinking too much about it.

After "conquering" Green Little Yi, she became extremely enthusiastic, leading everyone to tour the jade buildings known as [Green Emperor Tower].

Since this small world was only about a hundred miles in radius, it wasn't very large, so the jade buildings weren't built on a grand scale. However, that didn't mean they weren't impressive.

As the saying goes, "small but complete."

Though the buildings weren't large, they were filled with extraordinary charm.

Their architectural style differed greatly from the mainstream style of the Shenwu period, lacking the grandeur and majesty, but exuding a serene and lofty sacredness, as if inhabited by a benevolent elder, powerful yet not intimidating.

Upon closer inspection, the materials used in these buildings, whether wood or stone, were high-end materials unfamiliar to Wang Shouzhe, all inscribed with formation scripts. Even after enduring the passage of time, they still exuded spiritual charm, clearly well-maintained and still functional.

"Brother Shouzhe, back then, the Green Emperor Sage crossed the void and carved out this small world, where he passed away," Green Little Yi explained as she led Wang Shouzhe on a tour, "Later, the Holy Emperor of Shenwu chanced upon the Green Emperor's legacy and rose to power, eventually becoming the master of Shenwu. Subsequently, the Holy Emperor passed the Green Emperor's legacy and Sacred Diagram to Ji Wushuang, and now you've arrived."

Wang Shouzhe had always wondered how the Holy Emperor obtained the Green Emperor Sacred Diagram, and it seems the origin lies here.

Though, it's still unclear where the Green Emperor Sage crossed the void from.

"Where did Ji Wushuang go?" Wang Shouzhe asked with a slight frown.

"When demons invaded the Shenwu World, the Holy Emperor borrowed the 'World-Ending Chaos Pearl' to perish with the Demon Lord's main forces, thus arranging several escape routes in advance to reignite the human flame after the apocalypse. Ji Wushuang was one of those routes," Green Little Yi explained. "At that time, Ji Wushuang was in the True Immortal Realm, leaving his legacy in the mortal world for a destined person, and leaving a treasure box at the Shenwu Army Officer Training Academy. He agreed with the Shenwu Spirit Artifact that if he didn't return for ten thousand years, the treasure box would be included as a prize, to select an excellent successor."

"Little Holy Emperor was the most outstanding wood-type bloodline in the Shenwu World. If an exceptionally talented wood-type bloodline could break records and idolize Little Holy Emperor, they would likely want to see what was in the treasure box, naturally having a chance to obtain the legacy."

Wang Shouzhe remained expressionless, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

That Little Holy Emperor Ji Wushuang was quite narcissistic~

Wasn't he afraid no one would want his treasure box?

Honestly, if it weren't for the Wang Clan constantly breaking records and having nothing else to take, he would never have wanted such a mysterious item based on his usual style.

"Brother Shouzhe, now that you're here, it means Ji Wushuang never returned," Green Little Yi sighed, her delicate face showing a hint of sadness. "It seems his path likely failed, and he couldn't break through to the Da Luo Realm. He left a message for the successor, hoping that after becoming strong, the successor would retrieve the Green Emperor Sacred Diagram."

Green Emperor Sacred Diagram?

Wang Shouzhe's heart stirred.

From the sound of it, Little Holy Emperor Ji Wushuang had already inherited the Sacred Diagram when he left?

But it makes sense. From the image left by the Holy Emperor, he was already quite old, and the best time to inherit the Sacred Diagram is at the Void Realm. Since Little Holy Emperor Ji Wushuang was already in the True Immortal Realm, he likely inherited the Sacred Diagram.

Moreover, if he hadn't inherited the Sacred Diagram, what would he use to charge at the Da Luo Realm?

He pondered slightly, "It sounds like you know where Little Holy Emperor went, Little Yi?"

"I do, but I can't tell you now," Green Little Yi shook her head. "You're only in the Divine Realm, too weak, and even if you went, you couldn't inherit the Green Emperor Sacred Diagram. So, your immediate priority is to inherit the [Green Emperor Immortal Scripture] left by Little Holy Emperor and work hard to cultivate. We'll discuss this again when you reach the Void Realm."

"Is the Green Emperor Immortal Scripture here?"

Though Wang Shouzhe had anticipated it, he was still quite pleased to hear it.

"Yes, back then, the Holy Emperor considered Little Holy Emperor as a backup. To prevent his own failure, Little Holy Emperor also arranged a backup," Green Little Yi said. "To prevent the successor from lacking even the Codex, he specially left a [Green Emperor Codex] here. However, since you already have the Green Emperor Codex, this one is naturally unnecessary."

Wang Shouzhe nodded slightly, then looked at Changchun Immortal, "Master, the Green Jade Compass belongs to Changchun Valley, what about the Immortal Scripture..."

"Shouzhe, you needn't worry," Changchun Immortal, though nearing his end, was clear-headed. "The Immortal Scripture is naturally yours. Firstly, no one but you can inherit all this. Secondly, Shouzhe, you're a registered direct disciple of Changchun, not an outsider. Thirdly, without your ancient teleportation talisman, the Green Jade Compass is just a useless piece of jade."

Senior Brother Jinshan also nodded in agreement, "Junior Brother Shouzhe, you really shouldn't worry too much. I, Jinshan, am self-aware. Besides, even if I wanted to compete, Miss Little Yi wouldn't agree."

"Shouzhe, if possible, that [Green Emperor Codex]..." Changchun Immortal glanced at Wang Shouzhe, then at Jinshan, "Jinshan's bloodline is still a bit short of inheriting the Codex, but if our Changchun Valley sells everything, it might just be possible."

"I understand Master's intention," Wang Shouzhe nodded, "I'll take care of Senior Brother Jinshan's matter. One day, our Changchun Valley will surely rise to become Changchun Holy Land!"

"Good, good, good!" Changchun Immortal was overjoyed, his face regaining a rosy glow as if revitalized. "I never expected, nearing the end of my life, to see the hope of a great rise for Changchun Valley. Jinshan, you must work hard and not disappoint your Master's expectations."

Jinshan was also overjoyed.

He never expected to have a chance to reach the Void Realm in his lifetime.

That's the Lingxu Emperor level, on par with His Majesty Long Chang. If he still can't find a girlfriend then... impossible, absolutely impossible not to find one... definitely won't be unable to find one!

"Little Yi, you have no objections, right?" Wang Shouzhe asked, "If you do, I can think of another way."

Though Green Little Yi felt a bit uncomfortable seeing Brother Shouzhe give the "useless Codex" to that sleazy guy, she ultimately said nothing, pouting reluctantly, "Everything here belongs to Brother Shouzhe, including Little Yi."

"Little Yi, you mentioned you're a holy artifact?" Wang Shouzhe asked curiously, "I know holy artifacts are stronger than immortal artifacts. What makes you so powerful?"

"Talking about this, I'm wide awake~" Green Little Yi enthusiastically patted her chest, "I, [Yi Wood Creation Bottle], a Da Luo holy artifact! I'm an extremely powerful auxiliary treasure, capable of gathering the essence of Yi Wood to cultivate various spirit plants. Ten-thousand-year spirit herbs are easily attainable, and even hundred-thousand-year spirit herbs are within reach with time. Brother Shouzhe, with me, you have everything! Back then, the Holy Emperor's bloodline talent was poor, but I nurtured it with spirit herbs, one bite at a time."

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.

How is this different from his own bloodline? No, it might not even be as good as his Life Origin Bloodline, which can promote evolution and direct spirit plant cultivation.

If he had obtained the Yi Wood Creation Bottle as a child, it would indeed have been a great fortune, allowing him to lead the clan to rapid rise without such struggles and effort.

But now he's in the late Divine Realm, practically on the verge of becoming immortal, and he finally gets this treasure.

Isn't this golden finger a bit too late?
