Chapter 2812: Heavenly One Treasure Classic

The man in the green shirt and the girl in the white dress were startled, thinking Wang Yidao intended to kill them.

Tens of thousands of golden saber auras suddenly merged into a single, massive blade, glowing with continuous golden light, before blurring and vanishing.

A ripple appeared in the void in front of the green giant falcon, and a gleaming golden giant blade emerged, slashing towards it.

The green giant falcon swiftly opened its mouth and spat out a beam of green light to meet the attack. The green light was instantly shattered by the golden giant blade, but the falcon took the opportunity to dodge.

With a thunderous roar, the golden giant blade pulverized over a dozen mountaintops, sending earth and rocks crumbling and clouds of dust billowing.

The green giant falcon seemed to realize that Duan Tongtian and Wang Yidao were formidable opponents. With a gentle flap of its wings, it transformed into a gust of wind and vanished.

Du Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, seeing the green lotus pattern on Wang Yidao's clothes, his expression tightened.

"Fellow Daoist Wang—no, Senior Wang," he corrected himself, "you've advanced to the Void Refinement stage! Congratulations!"

The girl in the white dress congratulated Wang Yidao. She was Du Xueyao, who had already reached the perfected Spirit Transformation stage.

"Oh!"

Wang Yidao, expressionless, sheathed his golden long saber.

"Yidao, do you know them?" Duan Tongtian asked curiously; Wang Yidao was taciturn and had very few friends.

"I've met them."

Wang Yidao replied truthfully.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Wang, for your timely assistance," Du Yunfeng said gratefully. "Otherwise, we would have been in grave danger. May I ask the names of you two fellow Daoists?"

"Wang Yidao."

Wang Yidao replied truthfully.

"We still have matters to attend to, Fellow Daoist Du, so we won't stay any longer." Duan Tongtian did not reveal his name and departed with Wang Yidao.

Du Xueyao watched Wang Yidao's retreating figure, gratitude evident in her clear eyes. Had it not been for Wang Yidao's intervention, they might have perished.

"Xueyao, are you familiar with Fellow Daoist Wang?" Du Yunfeng asked.

"Not familiar." Du Xueyao then recounted how they had met.

"In any case, this person saved us. We should find an opportunity to visit them later to thank them for saving our lives. We have what we came for, so let's go back!" After Du Yunfeng finished speaking, he departed with Du Xueyao.

The Golden Rhinoceros Mountain Range stretches for tens of millions of miles. It is rich in demonic beast resources and abounds in Golden Moon Rhinoceros, hence its name.

In the northwestern corner of the Golden Rhinoceros Mountain Range, on a steep peak, a large number of buildings can be seen, sprawling from the foot of the mountain to its summit. Many cultivators are also visible moving about. At the foot of the mountain stood a golden stone tablet over ten zhang tall, inscribed with the three large silver characters "Golden Rhinoceros Mountain."

Golden Rhinoceros Mountain is a market city jointly managed by three immortal cultivation families, each dispatching a Void Refinement cultivator to oversee it. Wu Qingyun is one of them.

Within a sprawling manor, there were pavilions, towers, waterside pavilions, long corridors, gardens, and unusual rock formations. Wu Qingyun and over a dozen other Void Refinement cultivators sat together, sipping tea and chatting. Wang Chuanlin was also among them.

Wang Chuanlin had traveled the inner regions for many years, befriending many Void Refinement cultivators and incidentally collecting numerous ancient texts, including cultivation techniques, pill recipes, biographical accounts, and ancient secrets, though their authenticity remained to be verified.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, didn't you say Fellow Daoist Guo from the Guo family of Peach Blossom Ridge would also attend the gathering? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" A black-robed elder with a square face, large eyes, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth spoke, his face full of confusion.

The Guo family of Peach Blossom Ridge is an affiliated immortal cultivation family of the Divine Weapon Sect, guarded by a Body Integration cultivator and boasting many experts, with a heritage spanning over 20,000 years.

"What? Are all you fellow Daoists so eager to see me?" A cheerful male voice rang out.

No sooner had the voice fallen than a golden-robed young man with sword-like brows and starry eyes walked in, holding a golden folding fan. The golden-robed young man's gaze quickly swept over Wu Qingyun and the others before settling on Wang Chuanlin.

"The Green Lotus Wang Family!" The golden-robed young man's expression tightened as he recognized the origin of the green lotus pattern on Wang Chuanlin's clothes. The Wang family is an immortal cultivation family that has risen in recent years, backed by Zhenhai Palace and possessing great strength. However, the Guo family is no less formidable.

"I am Guo Yunlang, greetings to all fellow Daoists." The golden-robed young man stated his name, his tone sincere. The cultivators dared not be negligent and successively stated their names.

"I have long heard of the great name of the Green Lotus Wang family," Guo Yunlang said politely, "and today I finally get to meet a member of the Wang family."

"Fellow Daoist Guo, you're too kind," Wang Chuanlin replied with an admiring expression. "If we're talking about great names, it's your Guo family that holds one. Your family's ancestor heavily wounded a Body Integration stage beastman during the last racial war." Hearing this, the smile on Guo Yunlang's face deepened.

Wu Qingyun and the others began to chat idly, exchanging cultivation insights. After chatting for over an hour, Wu Qingyun suggested exchanging items, and none of the cultivators objected.

As the host, Wu Qingyun was the first to exchange, taking out over a dozen materials including ores, spirit wood, and spirit herbs, but no Dharma Idol materials. "I'm looking to exchange for wood-attribute artifact refining materials." The items Wu Qingyun presented were not particularly good; neither Wang Chuanlin nor Guo Yunlang found them impressive. Wu Qingyun only managed to exchange three materials; the other items remained.

The cultivators successively took out items to display, stating what they wished to exchange for. After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the black-robed elder with a black mole at the corner of his mouth took out over a dozen materials, among which a green jade slip caught Wang Chuanlin's attention.

Generally speaking, jade slips record cultivation techniques, ancient texts, or secret arts.

"Fellow Daoist Su, what content is recorded in that jade slip?" Wang Chuanlin asked curiously.

"Fellow Daoists Wang and Guo, you've heard of the Beiming family, right?" The black-robed elder did not state it directly but built up suspense.

"I've heard of them," Guo Yunlang replied. "Could it be that the content recorded in the jade slip is related to the Beiming family?"

"That's right," the black-robed elder confirmed. "This is the 'Heavenly Unity Codex,' one of the Beiming family's five great family-guarding cultivation techniques, which can be cultivated up to the Mahayana stage. I'm looking to exchange it for tribulation-transcending treasures, such as a Five-Element Thunder Cloud Talisman." The black-robed elder's gaze seemingly casually swept over Wang Chuanlin and Guo Yunlang, as among the Void Refinement cultivators present, only they were capable of producing tribulation-transcending treasures.

"The Beiming family's family-guarding cultivation technique? The 'Heavenly Unity Codex'?" Wang Chuanlin became interested. The Beiming family had been prominent in its time but was later suddenly annihilated.

"Fellow Daoist Su, it's not that I don't trust you," Guo Yunlang interjected, "but how can we be sure that this is indeed the Beiming family's family-guarding cultivation technique, the 'Heavenly Unity Codex'? In recent years, so-called Beiming family treasures appear periodically." Guo Yunlang raised his doubts, and what he said was true. So many years had passed, and it was estimated that no descendants of the Beiming family were still alive. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for outsiders to ascertain the authenticity of the cultivation technique, especially when it required a tribulation-transcending treasure in exchange.

"I swear by my inner demons that this cultivation technique comes from the Beiming family," the black-robed elder declared. "I cannot disclose its specific origin, but I can show you a portion of the content for you to assess." The black-robed elder handed the jade slip to Wang Chuanlin. Wang Chuanlin took it, and with a sweep of his divine sense, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
