Chapter 635: 635

“If you have already reached the perfected Great Dao realm, as long as you refine ordinary Connate Wonders, you will be able to push your Intrinsic Flying Sword to the Connate Cardinal treasure level,” said the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure . “That way, it would be suitable for you to fuse the lotus seed into your body, or use it to manifest a second Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure that would be suited for yourself .

“Having the Intrinsic Flying Sword and another Connate Cardinal treasure of similar strength would naturally be the best of both worlds .

“However, you have yet to break through and are only a pinnacle mighty figure . “

Numinous Treasure continued, “Refining ordinary Connate Wonders will not allow your Intrinsic Connate Numinous treasure to break through either . “

Qin Yun nodded . “I understand . “

“Your situation is very unique . Therefore, using the lotus seed to directly nurture your Intrinsic Flying Sword is what suits you the best,” said Numinous Treasure . “Firstly, using the Lotus Seed of Fate to nurture the Intrinsic Flying Sword will allow it to naturally transform and be enhanced into an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure . This flying sword will also be helpful to your cultivation, allowing you to break through earlier . Secondly, what’s most critical for you is to withstand the Itinerant Immortal tribulations . You rely on your protective sword array! The Lotus Seed of Fate will only make your Intrinsic Flying Sword stronger, giving it greater potential .

“Be it for cultivation or for transcending the tribulations, enhancing your Intrinsic Flying Sword greatly is what’s most suitable,” Numinous Treasure said with a smile . “Speaking of which, no one has produced an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure in the Three Realms to date! You will probably be the first . “

Qin Yun smiled faintly .

Indeed .

Those ancient existences were born from the Chaos . They were born beside numinous treasures! Some of their birth numinous treasures were even Connate Cardinal treasures .

However, the Dharmic formulations for creating an Intrinsic Dharma treasure were only made after the Daoist’s Three Pure Ones attained the Heavenly Dao realm . Furthermore, only a very small number of lineages had such means . For example, the sword immortals and Daoist talisman amulet lineages . There were still no juniors from these brand new lineages who attained a perfected Great Dao for the time being; therefore, there was no appearance of an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure .

Qin Yun could only do it ahead of time thanks to the wondrous nature of the Lotus Seed of Fate .

Lotus Seed of Fate…

The best Connate Wonder! With its power over fate, it could make the impossible possible!

Ignoring Qin Yun’s possession of a Intrinsic Flying Sword, even without it, the seed alone could transform into a Connate Cardinal treasure .

“Master, is the nurturing Dharmic formulation for this the same as ordinary Connate Wonders?” asked Qin Yun .

“The Dharmic formulations are all the same,” said Numinous Treasure . “Cultivate inside Green Touring Palace . There are many people in the Three Realms that covet the Lotus Seed of Fate . Not only has the Fiend Ancestor set his sights on it, there are those lurking bunch of perfected Great Dao existences, some of who don’t even have a Connate Cardinal treasure! The Lotus Seed of Fate which can transform into a Connate Cardinal treasure which suits them the best would be enough to drive them crazy . If you were to cultivate outside, you are bound to be targeted, causing trouble . In Green Touring Palace, they won’t even be able to see you! Much less use their other means . “

“Yes . ” Qin Yun nodded . “I understand . I shall take my leave then . “

“Go on . ” Numinous Treasure looked at Qin Yun with eyes filled with anticipation .

Qin Yun left with his body bowed .

After watching Qin Yun leave, Numinous Treasure said softly in the empty hall, “To use a Lotus Seed of Fate to nurture an Intrinsic Flying Sword, he is the first and possibly the only one capable of doing so in the Three Realms . “

There were only a total of nine Lotus Seeds of Fate, with only one yet to reveal itself .

The remaining seed… was likely not to be used so extravagantly as to nurture a flying sword .

This choice was made only because Qin Yun was in a desperate need to break through so as to withstand the Itinerant Immortal tribulations .

“I hope this disciple of mine can transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulations . As such, after I leave the Three Realms, my Green Touring Palace will have another pillar of support . “

Numinous Treasure looked forward to it . Although Green Touring Palace currently had the the Eldest Senior Sister, Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain, her strength was only considered average among all the perfected Great Dao existences .

Compared to the Ancestral Dragon, Mighty God Hou Yi, or even the Buddhist Amita…

She was still a distance away .

Now, the Green Touring Palace was considered one of the strongest few factions in the Three Realms . Just Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain alone was unable to maintain the Green Touring Palace’s present standing .

The greatest hope which Numinous Treasure could see at present was his disciple, Qin Yun . His talent was excellent and was already closing in on the perfected Great Dao . Furthermore, he was a sword immortal . The only trouble was his Itinerant Immortal tribulations . Numinous Treasure was helpless regarding this, since the Itinerant Immortal tribulations was still an unsolved problem in all of the Three Realms .

******

Green Touring Palace . In the chamber of Qin Yun’s tiny compound .

An aroma lingered in the chamber . Qin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on a mat, first leisurely consumed a drop of Samsara Dew .

“It’s time . “

Sensing that he was in optimum state, Qin Yun waved his hand . A green lotus seed filled with boundless vitality flew out and floated in front of him .

Just the lotus seed’s aura was enough to cause the Three Realms’ Heavenly Dao to recede .

“It is truly fate that I could obtain this treasure . ” Qin Yun looked at the green lotus seed . “It’s identical to using an ordinary Connate Wonder?”

With a gentle wave of his hand, a wisp of misty rain flew out of his fingertip . It was none other than his Intrinsic Flying Sword, the Misty Rain Sword . The Misty Rain Sword stopped above the lotus seed as Qin Yun circulated his Dharmic powers and began following the Dharmic formulation .

He saw a black-and-white chart surface over the Misty Rain Sword as it enveloped the lotus seed beneath .

“Whoosh—”

He saw countless points of green light, all filled with endless vitality . They kept flying out and surging into the Misty Rain Sword .

The Misty Rain Sword vibrated slightly in joy as it crazily devoured the points of green light . It devoured every bit that came at it .

…

“That Lotus Seed of Fate should have been mine . “

In the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, the green-skinned Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body had eyes filled with rage .

He felt his heart ache for missing out on a Lotus Seed of Fate .

“Back then, the Lotus of Fate had a total of nine seeds . Now, only one of them has yet to appear,” said the Fiend Ancestor in a deep voice . “It might not even appear by the time I’m forced to leave the Three Realms .

“I missed such a great opportunity just like that .

“That Qin Yun has spoiled my plans time and time again . He saved Yang Jian the last time and he snatched the Lotus Seed of Fate this time . ” The Fiend Ancestor was extremely indignant . “There will definitely be an opportunity . As long as I seize that opportunity, the Lotus Seed of Fate will fall back into my hands . Even his Qingping Sword will be mine .

“I need to become stronger .

“When the time comes to leave the Three Realms, it will be a huge calamity for me . ” The Fiend Ancestor knew this very well . As he had stopped at nothing, he had intervened whenever any Daoist, Buddhist, or Heavenly Courts mighty figures perished and went to Samsara . He destroyed their souls, leaving only the last wisp of True Spirit which made it impossible to receive them and awaken their memories .

Once dead, they were considered gone .

Many of them were disciples or juniors of the Dao Ancestors or Buddhist Ancestor, so how could they not be enraged?

In addition, he had invaded the entire Three Realms, so the Fiend Ancestor was already the cause of great outrage . It made many factions unite to deal with him . It was only in the Three Realms that his Tenebrous Fiend Abyss was one with him, preventing him from suffering a true death .

“Opportunity, there will definitely be one . ” The Fiend Ancestor waited in silence . Qin Yun had the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure protecting him, so he had to wait for the appropriate opportunity .

…

“It’s a wonder how that Qin Yun will use the Lotus Seed of Fate . “

The Ancestral Dragon’s massive body coiled as his eyes had a look of curiosity and helplessness .

Without the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure or Fiend Ancestor taking action, he was the one with the highest chances of obtaining the Lotus Seed of Fate in the Disarray Star Sea . However, once the Immortal Vanquishing Array appeared, all he could do was retreat .

…

“Lotus Seed of Fate . “

Numerous ancient existences could not help but recollect the situation .

How heart-wrenching .

Envy and jealousy!

But what could they do? Qin Yun had amassed huge merit and had immense light from providence shining down on him . He could obtain a Lotus Seed of Fate just by traveling the Three Realms . Furthermore, he had the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure protecting him . With such a solid backer appearing, they could do nothing .

******

Green Touring Palace . In the chamber of Qin Yun’s tiny compound .

Qin Yun was very astonished .

The Lotus Seed of Fate created some differences during the refinement process than ordinary Connate Wonders . The difference being… the Lotus Seed of Fate’s powers constantly fused with the Intrinsic Flying Sword without stopping for a moment! The Intrinsic Flying Sword also did not seem to be satiated or need time to ‘digest . ‘ It was as though it could devour as many points of green light as came at it .

This voracious dining continued for three years and three months .

Only in the final month did the green lotus seed dim gradually . Finally, the lotus seed dissipated into the nothingness .

“Everything has been absorbed . ” Qin Yun looked at the floating Intrinsic Flying Sword .

At the instant it finished the absorption, the Intrinsic Flying Sword contained all the powers of an entire Lotus Seed of Fate . It also began to slowly transform .

Like grass emerging out of the soil, it slowly grew .

It was like a tree’s sprouting .

Although everything was slow, it was the birth of brand new power .

“My Intrinsic Flying Sword…” Qin Yun looked at the Misty Rain Sword before him . Its exterior was slowly changing, turning more misty and ethereal . It was as though it was a massive world itself . The three Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man was also a foundation within, perfectly fusing as one . Qin Yun’s Sword Dao was already short of the final step to the perfected Great Dao .

The Lotus Seed of Fate easily bridged that final gap . It allowed the Misty Rain Sword to silently join the ranks of Connate Cardinal treasures .

Furthermore, it was continuing to transform . This continued for more than two hours and only when all the Lotus Seed of Fate’s powers were fully expended did the Misty Rain Sword’s transformation come to a completion .

The first Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure in the Three Realms was floating right in front of Qin Yun .
