Chapter 523: Chapter 464: Exposing the Foundation_2

"As for Daqian... I suppose I can only ask the sect to intervene, right? If all else fails, I could sneak away, pretend that I’ve gone missing. Then the sect could come searching for me along with it?"

Zhang Decheng glared at Wang Zijia, saying, "Do you think the tribulation crossing cultivators are blind? They can find you without lifting a finger."

"It’s only because that place is remote and no one usually monitors the Ascension Hall, so it allowed you to refine it. Try lifting it up after you have your breakthrough to Infant God and see what happens."

"See if anyone drags you out!"

"That Blessed Land Daoist arena belongs to me anyway!" Wang Zijia casually said, wearing a shameless expression with an air of playful helplessness. "The sect sent me in all those years ago!"

’So this is somehow the sect’s fault?’

Although Zhang Decheng was rendered speechless, he didn’t blame him, "Let’s put this matter on hold for now. I will go and discuss it with our head teacher."

"Don’t you dare hastily start storing it up. Allow it to rest there. We only harvested flesh field spirit items a year ago. At the earliest, it’s still several or tens of years before anyone will need to go in."

Wang Zijia nodded in agreement; he wasn’t in a hurry. But taking advantage of this opportunity to present his case clearly in the sect, the Mysterious Domain was definitely his, and who came was irrelevant.

"What about that spiritual object?" Wang Zijia changed the topic and asked.

At the mention of this, Zhang Decheng’s anger surged, "It’s one thing to request the top-level spirit objects of Heart and Mind, you’ve certainly earned it this time, but what’s with asking for all the auxiliary spirit objects?"

"Are you aware of what you’re saying? Although the infant god auxiliary spirit objects cannot be compared to the main one, they are still top-tier among the third and fourth-grade spirit objects."

"If we consider all the ones with universal uses that are still in stock, there are at least tens of thousands of varieties, and you want one of each? Why don’t you just ascend to heaven?"

"Tens of thousands? Are there so many?" Wang Zijia’s eyes shone at the thought, "Then, can I just take a few strands of each item’s aura? I don’t need the actual item!"

Zhang Decheng eyed Wang Zijia confusedly, "Aura?"

"Yes, or I can use a tiny amount as a pill guide. I have a special method, I want to make a Ten Thousand Dao Pill!" Wang Zijia bluffed. This wasn’t entirely groundless, he was borrowing from the Sect’s teachings An Xingsheng usually used, so it wasn’t baseless after all!

"Ten Thousand Dao Pill? What kind of pill is that? Among the spirit items that aid in forming the infant god, is there such a pill?" Zhang Decheng questioned, confused.

To this, Wang Zijia did not respond, but instead inquired, "This request shouldn’t be excessive, right? A single infant god spirit object, plus the aura of the auxiliary spirit items."

Zhang Decheng stared intently at Wang Zijia, "Be honest with me, how far are you from forming your infant and crossing the tribulation? Will it happen within ten years, or within a hundred?"

A clear hesitation showed on Wang Zijia’s face.

"You little brat, what’s with that reaction?! Don’t bring any of those bad habits from the lower realms with you just because you’re back in the clan. It’s okay to keep some secrets, but when you’re asking for resources from me and yet you can’t share a single thing, how do you expect me to manage?" Zhang Decheng frowned and scolded.

In response to this, Wang Zijia straightforwardly said, "Anytime! As long as I have the spiritual items, I can condense my infant and cross the tribulation tomorrow. I’ve been at the peak stage of Perfected for quite some time since I came up from Qinglian World!"

Zhang Decheng, who was about to continue scolding, froze, then glared at Wang Zijia, "After spending nearly a century in the lower realm, you... you were able to condense a third-grade true seed?"

Wang Zijia stared back at Zhang Decheng seriously. Having already reached this point, he decided not to hold back. He spurred his mana, and a three-inch nascent infant holding a strange rune seed popped out from between his brows.

"Uh..."

Looking at Wang Zijia’s nascent infant, Zhang Decheng was slightly stunned. This was already beyond the stage of a Peak Perfected being.

But when he saw the Rune Seed held by the three-inch figure, his eyes went wide, and he got up abruptly.

The next moment, his face turned stern as he berated, "Reckless fool, hurry up and put that back!"

Wang Zijia recoiled from the scolding, promptly retracting his infant god.

As Zhang Decheng’s divine thought quickly surged out, he decisively activated the array of the entire Heavenly Inquiry Tower, causing the entire tower to flicker with spiritual light.

A group of disciples working in the Heavenly Inquiry Tower looked with baffled faces at the suddenly activated tower, yet clueless about the reason.

Wang Zijia looked dumbfounded at Zhang Decheng, watching as his divine thoughts constantly flowed out, seeming to have carefully examined the entire eighth floor and even the entire Heavenly Inquiry Tower.

After a long while, he finally stopped.

He looked at Wang Zijia, lost in thought for a moment.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

The next moment, he broke into a mad, roaring laughter!

"An Immortal Seed, a top-grade Immortal Seed, even I, Wanyu, can produce an Immortal Seed!"

Wang Zijia:"..."

The two of them were lost in their own thoughts, and it took a while for both to calm down.

"Even if the Head Teacher questions you, you’ll insist that this is a Fourth Grade True Seed!" Zhang Decheng suddenly spoke up.

Wang Zijia froze, and after a moment replied, "Understood!"

It seems that a First Grade True Seed is indeed rarer than he thought!

"Moreover, don’t tread the path of fragmenting seeds and achieving infancy. Spend a bit more time, consolidate the pseudo-infant into a true infant. After you break through to the Primordial Spirit, cultivate the seed to obtain its essence. This way, two paths can progress side by side, by the time you face the Tribulation Stage they’ll already be on the right track."

After calming down, Zhang Decheng quickly laid out the future path for Wang Zijia.

"Martial Uncle, I’ve read many scriptures on cultivation in our Sect. I’m aware of these basic principles and this is the path I’ve been following," said Wang Zijia, speechless.

Zhang Decheng once again stared at Wang Zijia, lost for words, "Are you saying you’re already successful on both counts, just waiting to consolidate the Infant God?"

Wang Zijia silently nodded.

Zhang Decheng:"..."

’Do you call this common sense? Of the more than a thousand God Monarchs in our Sect, most fed off fragmented seeds to become infants. Doesn’t this mean that 99% of them are lacking in common sense?’

"Are you sure you don’t have innate wisdom and aren’t some reincarnated Ancient Power?" Zhang Decheng retorted sarcastically.

Wang Zijia:"..."

"I will personally go to the Pill Institute and take care of the matter of the Spirit Objects. For now, you should return. The matter of tasks is one that must be done, even the Head Teacher’s own child cannot be excused from it. This isn’t related to talent."

Zhang Decheng instructed accordingly, "But we can delay it a bit. First, complete the infancy consolidation, then ensure you’ve got both hands steady. Your task can be put off for a month or two."

However, Wang Zijian shook his head in disagreement, "No need, the disciple will go to the Enclave first. As for returning...using some unique skills, the disciple can also complete teleportation."

"Although it won’t be as easy as the Head Teacher makes it seem and will require some complex preparations. Setting up the altar and then teleporting back to consolidate into an infant shouldn’t be a problem."

Zhang Decheng thought it over for a split second, then asked, "When do you plan to start the infancy consolidation?"

"In five days?" Wang Zijia questioned, "By then, the disciple should have reached the Enclave."

"So soon?" Zhang Decheng raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything you’ve missed out on preparing? Do you need me to prepare anything?"

"There might be a lot of movement when the disciple is consolidating into an infant, can I do this in private?" Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment before asking.

"No problem, I’ll go to the Pavilion Master and get you a Repository Guard tag. At that time, just say that you’re a registered Repository Guard in the Scripture Pavilion. Otherwise, you can also consolidate into an infant using your identity of the Dark Department, as these are all cases where disciples aren’t allowed to observe." Zhang Decheng replied thusly.

"Then the disciple has no further concerns," Wang Zijia responded.

"Fine, I’ll arrange for the Spirit Objects for you in a while." Midway in his speech, he suddenly turned his hand and produced four items.

A shield, an order symbol, and two jade talismans.

However, Wang Zijia didn’t immediately reach out his hand, but looked at the objects floating in front of him uncertainly, looking at Zhang Decheng, and waiting for his explanation.

First, Zhang Decheng spoke to the black small shield, "This Insect Armor Spirit Origin Shield is Fourth Grade Top Grade Magical Treasure, which can also be counted as the best amongst Fourth Grade treasures."

"It was something I used in my early years. Not only is this shield extremely strong in defense, but what’s more important is that it wasn’t made with traditional materials."

"The main ingredient is the shell of the Heavenly Armored Insect, which is exceptionally lightweight and flexible. Not only does it consume very little, but it’s also extremely easy to use. Even with your current level of cultivation, you can fully unleash its power. It’s truly a superior battle magical treasure."
