“I transmigrated? And came to the Grandmist, becoming an Outer Sect Disciple who just joined the Jie Sect?”
Lin Xuan woke up from his coma, and as soon as he did, he was speechless.
Because he discovered he had transmigrated, and to the Grandmist during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, becoming an Outer Sect Disciple of the Jie Sect.
In his previous life, he was also a mythology enthusiast, and had considerable expectations about coming to such a mythical world.
But now that he had truly transmigrated, Lin Xuan realized with some helplessness that the mythical Grandmist world was not as wonderful as he had imagined.
During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Immortals and Gods were as numerous as ants. Even Zhao Gongming, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, along with San Xiao and others, died and were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
By the end, even the Sages of the Heavenly Dao fought in earnest, shattering the ancient Grandmist completely. And in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, the first to bear the brunt were naturally the Jie Sect Disciples.
According to the memories in his mind, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period had already ended, and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was probably not far off.
“This…”
Lin Xuan’s expression was slightly grim. If he were to truly die and be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, for a low-Cultivation Jie Sect Disciple like him, it would actually be a good thing.
However, if he were to become one of the three thousand mortals of the Jie Sect, forcibly converted to the West by Zhunti and Jieyin, living in a muddled state, it would probably be more unbearable than death.
Not only that, as a Human Race Disciple, his situation in the Jie Sect was not good.
Saint Tongtian advocated teaching without discrimination, allowing anyone, whether scaled, armored, wet-born, or oviparous, regardless of their background or Cultivation, to join the Jie Sect.
This led to a mixed bag of Jie Sect Disciples, divided into two factions.
One faction was naturally composed of Disciples led by the Yao Race.
The other faction consisted of Disciples primarily from the Human Race.
Conflicts and disputes were constant between them, but the Yao Race faction of Disciples far surpassed the Human Race Disciples in both numbers and strength.
His predecessor had gone out on a journey and unexpectedly found a nearly ripe di ling fruit. Although it was an Acquired Spirit Treasure, its value was considerable.
Who would have thought that he would be directly beaten up by a Jie Sect Yao Race Disciple, who then monopolized the unripe di ling fruit?
In a fit of rage, a knot formed in his heart, leading to a Heart Demon entering his body, and he died on the spot.
What happened next was Lin Xuan’s Transmigration.
“Let’s try to Cultivate first!”
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and immediately began to circulate the Shangqing Immortal Method. But soon, he stopped, a helpless expression appearing on his face.
Nothing else, as a Grandmist Human Race, his own foundation was too poor, and his Cultivation speed was equally slow.
At this rate, he probably wouldn’t be able to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm even after the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation ended.
“The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is coming soon, why do I feel like my Luck is draining even faster? This Tongtian, he only knows about teaching without discrimination, but doesn't know how to restrain his Yao Race Disciples!”
Just as Lin Xuan was feeling helpless, a complaining voice suddenly rang out in his mind, startling him.
“Who? Who’s speaking?”
Lin Xuan looked around. His Immortal Cave was in the outer area of Golden Turtle Island, in a secluded location, with no living beings within a hundred miles.
Just then, a light screen appeared before him.
At the top of the light screen, a line of large characters was particularly striking.
Grandmist Opportunity Chat Group!
And in the group, there was only one message, which was the complaint Lin Xuan had just heard.
The speaker had a blurry golden avatar. Looking closely, it seemed to be a section of golden Luck?
Besides that, there were many other strange avatars, such as a pearl, a lotus, a bell, and so on.
And on Lin Xuan’s avatar, two words were clearly written:
Group Owner!
Just as Lin Xuan was looking bewildered, another light screen appeared… Personal Panel… Name: Lin Xuan
Position: Grandmist Opportunity Chat Group Group Owner
Cultivation: Earth Immortal Early Stage
Foundation: Acquired Elementary Foundation
Chat Group Rank: Level 1 (0/100)
Lin Xuan looked at the panel in front of him, then at the Chat Group panel, and gradually came to a realization.
It seems this is his System?
Chat Group System?
What’s it for?
Lin Xuan scratched his head, opened the Chat Group, and tried to type ‘1’.
Let’s stir up the group first and see if I can flush out any lurkers!
As a strange “1” appeared on the light screen, the entire Chat Group instantly exploded.
【chaos bell: The Group Owner spoke? Hiss, since I joined the group, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Group Owner speak!】
【Jie Sect’s Luck: Ho! The Group Owner appeared, Group Owner, quickly send red packets!】
【twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus: Group Owner, it’s so boring here. Do you have any fun stories to share to cheer everyone up?】
【chaos pearl: Boring? I don’t think so.】
【Hongmeng Measuring Ruler: It is indeed boring. Has anything big happened in the Grandmist recently?】
…Looking at the lurkers he had flushed out, Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment.
chaos bell, Jie Sect’s Luck, world cleansing white lotus… and even chaos pearl!
Is it real or fake?
If it’s real… Lin Xuan’s breathing quickened at the thought. He quickly began to check his Chat Group, trying to find a positioning function.
However, unfortunately, although there was a positioning function, it was grayed out.
【Insufficient permissions, unable to activate positioning function temporarily.】
Looking at the System’s prompt, Lin Xuan had a regretful expression.
As far as he knew, these Spirit Treasures in the group were all ownerless. If he could pinpoint their locations, wouldn’t he be able to go and find them?
Too bad he couldn’t locate them yet.
While disappointed, Lin Xuan also began to carefully study his permissions in the group.
Because the Grandmist Opportunity Chat Group was currently Rank 1, even though he was the Group Owner, his permissions were very limited.
Besides functions like sending red packets and changing names, the biggest use of his Group Owner identity right now was to create alternate accounts!
Yes, he could now use his Group Owner permissions to create an alternate account for himself, pretending to have been pulled into the group.
This function was quite useful, after all, as the Group Owner of this mysterious Chat Group, his prestige was very high, and he couldn’t just speak casually.
What if he was exposed?
The group still had a bunch of top-tier Opportunities like the chaos pearl and the twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus. He was still hoping to one day be able to locate them through this group!
As for how to upgrade this Grandmist Opportunity Chat Group and what other permissions would be available in the future, the System did not provide any explanation.
Lin Xuan scratched his head. Never mind, since things have come to this, let’s create an alternate account first and see if I can get some benefits!
He immediately used his permissions to register an alternate account for himself.
ID Name: Wushi Bell!
When the group notified that a new member had joined, the entire Chat Group instantly exploded!
【Jie Sect’s Luck: Wow! It’s a new member! I’ll send a red packet to celebrate!】
【chaos bell: Is this Fellow Daoist also a bell?】
【twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus: Wushi Bell, what is your origin? Why has this lotus never heard of you?】
…Lin Xuan chuckled and began to show off.
【Wushi Bell: Hehe, this bell was cast by an extremely powerful Immortal Emperor on the other side of the ancient Chaos. As the saying goes, who is at the peak of the Immortal Path’s end? Upon seeing Wushi, the Dao becomes empty! How can it be judged by Rank?】
As soon as these words came out, the group fell silent for a moment.
However, Jie Sect’s Luck actually sent out a red packet!
While the group members were still bewildered, Lin Xuan, with quick eyes and hands, snatched Jie Sect’s Luck’s red packet.
The group indeed had a red packet function, but he certainly couldn’t send any.
He could only leech off the group members.
To Lin Xuan’s surprise, the red packet sent by Jie Sect’s Luck was actually Luck!
Didn’t it just complain about severe loss?
Looking closely, it turned out that the red packet sent by Jie Sect’s Luck was just a small wisp of Luck.
Although he didn’t know how vast the true body of Jie Sect’s Luck was, it was probably just a drop in the ocean for it.
As the saying goes, many lice don’t itch. The Luck that Jie Sect’s Luck lost every day now was probably more than what it sent out this time.
At this point, the group members also reacted.
【Jie Sect’s Luck: Wow, this group member is so fast!】
【chaos bell: Hmph! Bragging. This bell has never heard of any Wushi Bell. Looking at the Chaos, this bell is the current number one bell in the Grandmist!】
【twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus: Indeed, I haven’t heard of it. Fellow Daoist, where exactly are you from?】
Lin Xuan smiled, offering no explanation, and simply used the topic-shifting technique!
【Wushi Bell: Thank you for the red packet, Fellow Daoist. By the way, this Luck is very pure. It seems this Fellow Daoist has an extraordinary origin.】
【Jie Sect’s Luck: Alas, what’s the use of being pure? My rate of loss is getting faster and faster every day. Does this new group member have any solutions?】
【Wushi Bell: This is easy. The loss of Luck is simply due to the lack of a treasure to suppress Luck. This bell has such ability, but unfortunately, it is currently drifting in the Chaos, so I’m afraid I cannot help you.】
【chaos bell: What’s so great about that? This bell can also suppress Luck!】
【twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus: This lotus can too!】
【Jie Sect’s Luck: But I asked you all to come find my Tongtian, and none of you came! (Angry)】
【chaos bell: Hmph! This bell will not let itself be delivered into the hands of Grandmaster Tongtian!】
【twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus: This lotus doesn’t mind, but this lotus is sealed in an Immortal Cave, and I don’t even know where I am. (Shrugs)】
【Jie Sect’s Luck: Ah ah ah ah! (Anxious)】
…Looking at the lively Chat Group, Lin Xuan’s face showed understanding.
No wonder Jie Sect’s Luck was the most active in the group; it was trying to save itself, hoping to coax the few Luck-suppressing treasures in the group to go find Grandmaster Tongtian.
Unfortunately, chaos bell didn’t seem to like Grandmaster Tongtian, and the twelfth grade world cleansing white lotus didn’t even know where it was.
Lin Xuan shrugged, indicating he could offer no help.
He couldn’t even use the positioning function right now, let alone help Jie Sect’s Luck.
However, a red packet Acquired by his own skill could be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
Lin Xuan immediately extracted that wisp of Luck from the System and directly absorbed it into his body.
In an instant, Lin Xuan’s Luck surged!
A wisp of Luck was just a drop in the ocean for Jie Sect’s Luck, but for Lin Xuan, with his ordinary foundation, it was terrifyingly powerful, directly granting him an unprecedented boost in Luck!
As his Luck surged, a faint, unseen pull suddenly emerged in his heart.
Is this an Opportunity?
Lin Xuan’s original body had heard about this situation when communicating with fellow Disciples before. Although Luck was invisible and intangible, it truly existed in the Grandmist.
It was very normal for people with great Luck to sense Opportunities on their own, or even pick up treasures and Opportunities while walking.
He never thought he would encounter such a thing one day.
Lin Xuan immediately, without hesitation, left his Immortal Cave, formed a hand seal to summon a cloud, and followed the unseen pull directly to the location of the Opportunity… The Opportunity Lin Xuan sensed was also above the East Sea, and not too far from his Immortal Cave, so he easily found the place.
Above a barren reef, a faint Restriction subtly emerged.
“Is it in a Restriction space?”
Lin Xuan immediately descended from the cloud, came before the Restriction, and attempted to refine it.
He originally thought it would be somewhat difficult, after all, he was only at the Earth Immortal Realm.
But it seemed that this Opportunity was destined for him, so the refining process was very smooth, and the Restriction before him was quickly refined by Lin Xuan.
A Restriction space appeared before Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan curiously glanced at it twice and cautiously stepped inside.
Space shifted, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan was already inside the Restriction space.
He looked up and around, seeing that this Restriction space was about several zhang in circumference, like a cave. In the center of the cave was a strange rock, and on top of the strange rock, a long spear emitting a strong chilling Qi was stuck!
It was so cold that Lin Xuan shivered.
It seems this is his Opportunity.
Lin Xuan cautiously investigated for a while, confirming there was no danger around, before walking forward and touching the long spear in front of him.
The spear body was icy cold and bone-chilling. However, besides the chill, a piece of information also surged into Lin Xuan’s mind.
Mystic Ice Calamity Relief Spear!
This spear was formed from Innate Mystic Ice, as hard as metal. When a spear strike was unleashed, cold winds would rise, freezing thousands of miles. It was a rare Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasure!
Lin Xuan’s eyes widened instantly, filled with pleasant surprise.
It’s actually an Innate Spirit Treasure!
As a Jie Sect Disciple, Lin Xuan knew all too well how precious Innate Spirit Treasures were now!
One must know that it was no longer the ancient era; most Innate Spirit Treasures that were meant to appear had already appeared. After several major tribulations, most Innate Spirit Treasures had fallen into the hands of powerful cultivators.
Powerful cultivators had their own Disciples, and occasionally bestowed a few items.
For example, Grandmaster Tongtian, who had quite a few Innate Spirit Treasures and was very generous.
But Grandmaster Tongtian had many Disciples, including eight direct Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, all Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
Below them were the Seven Attending Immortals, and many talented Golden Immortal Disciples.
Naturally, it wouldn’t be Lin Xuan’s turn, a mere Outer Sect Disciple.
It could be said that in the Grandmist now, let alone Golden Immortals, some Taiyi Golden Immortals might not even possess an Innate Spirit Treasure.
And Lin Xuan was only an Earth Immortal right now.
Cultivation in the Grandmist, starting from the Mortal Realm, one can ascend to Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, and Saint.
Now that Lin Xuan had just achieved Earth Immortal, to obtain a Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the magnitude of Luck’s assistance was evident.
Lin Xuan pulled out the Mystic Ice Calamity Relief Spear in front of him, then sat cross-legged, the spear across his knees, and began to attempt to refine it.
Refining an Innate Spirit Treasure was not simple.
Any Innate Spirit Treasure must have Innate Restrictions. Only by refining these Innate Restrictions can one activate the Spirit Treasure’s power.
The higher the Rank of the Innate Spirit Treasure, the more Innate Restrictions it has, and the more difficult it is to refine.
The Mystic Ice Calamity Relief Spear had a total of nine Innate Restrictions, which was not many. However, Lin Xuan was only an Earth Immortal, so refining it was naturally extremely difficult.
Fortunately, this spear was originally his Opportunity and did not reject him.
With the Spirit Treasure’s active cooperation, Lin Xuan spent half a day and finally refined three Innate Restrictions, allowing him to initially activate the spear’s power.
Lin Xuan also let out a long breath, holding the spear with extreme satisfaction.
The help of an Innate Spirit Treasure was too great. With an Innate Spirit Treasure in hand, even if he had no other powerful abilities, he would have the qualifications to fight above his Realm!
Even an ordinary Heavenly Immortal would not necessarily be able to withstand the long spear in his hand!
Lin Xuan was content and flew out of the Restriction space.
However, just as Lin Xuan flew out, a faint sense of danger arose spontaneously!
