Chapter 1157: Chapter 752: Tai Chi Immortal Map

Suddenly, the highly suspended Spirit Mirror simultaneously lit up, with radiance flowing. A line of clear large characters abruptly appeared on each mirror.

"Starlight Island, from today, officially connects with the deep sea Tier Four Spirit Vein!"

The announcement was concise, yet like a great stone thrown into a lake, it stirred waves on every square.

Everyone, including the island’s cultivators and mortals, already knew this matter was in progress.

When this moment finally arrived, the long-accumulated anticipation transformed into immense joy and excitement, exploding among the crowd.

"It’s done! It’s really done!"

"Eight years! A whole eight years!"

"True Monarch Tian Gong is truly a divine being!"

People looked up at the Spirit Mirror, discussing fervently, their faces shining with gleeful pride.

After eight years, the Thousand Mechanism Sect put forth its utmost effort, mobilizing tens of thousands of cultivators and body refiners, and finally connected this deep-sea spirit vein to Starlight Island.

This not only signified the gradual densification of Spiritual Qi on the island, and the steady enhancement of the Spirit Vein’s tier.

It was also a beacon illuminating the path for the ten thousand cultivators on the island.

It meant resources, opportunities, and the future.

A young Foundation Establishment cultivator laughed: "A while ago, I was worried the Spiritual Qi at the cave mansion was sparse, considering relocation. Now it seems, why bother!"

Nearby, an elder cultivator thoughtfully stroked his beard: "Short-sighted youth, how wrong you are! With the Spirit Vein tier enhancement, the Spiritual Qi in all cave mansions on the island will only grow more abundant. Naturally, their prices will rise accordingly."

In the distance, a dark-skinned spirit plant cultivator heard this and realized: "Spirit Field! Won’t the spirit fields we rented also upgrade?"

With this thought, he promptly squeezed outward: "No way, the old man must hurry to find the steward and renew that field contract for another ten years!"

"It’s not just about the spirit fields and cave mansions."

The elder cultivator glanced at the bustling market around and asserted: "Every brick and tile, every shop and house on the island that touches Spiritual Qi, from now on all will be precious!"

The young Foundation Establishment cultivator showed gratitude: "Luckily, my family made an early decision, settling the family’s household registration on Starlight Island a while ago. From now on, it will be much harder to settle here!"

Others immediately cast envious glances, inquiring about methods.

The young Foundation Establishment cultivator slightly showed off: "I am not very talented, yet I passed the academy examination days ago, and entered the Puppet Branch, becoming a Tier Two Puppet Master."

Upon hearing this, the crowd congratulated him.

A consensus had already formed on the island.

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators able to enter the Starlight Academy have taken their first step on the ladder to the azure clouds.

"The Island Master is truly benevolent!"

Among the crowd, someone lamented aloud.

Immediately, voices of agreement arose, heartfelt and sincere.

"Being able to reside on this island is truly a blessing for us!"

Such lively scenes, full of gratitude and discussion, could be seen everywhere in the large and small Immortal Cities on Starlight Island.

A wave of vibrant vigor and hope enveloped Starlight Island.

For the vast majority of cultivators on the island, the benefits are tangible.

The cave mansions, shops, and spirit fields they are leasing now, their values will all ascend.

They can make a substantial profit by transferring them.

Moreover, various low-tier cultivation resources, due to the Spirit Vein connection, have increased in production, making their prices more affordable.

For ordinary loose cultivators, establishing the Dao Foundation is as challenging as ascending to the heavens.

Success is one in a hundred.

Not only are the four hurdles of Foundation Establishment perilous.

More so, ordinary loose cultivators lack the financial strength and channels to gather all necessary Foundation Establishment resources for a determined fight.

Now, on Starlight Island, the difficulty of Foundation Establishment has drastically decreased.

Foundation Establishment Pills, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, Soul-Protecting Pills, are all clearly priced at the academy’s direct-sale shops.

A complete set of Foundation Establishment resources only costs twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

Not only is it much cheaper than outside.

It’s also produced by the academy, of excellent quality, with a good reputation.

What does this signify?

It means that even Qi Cultivation cultivators with a bit of talent, as long as they are willing to diligently work hard, accumulate for decades, when they reach Qi Cultivation Perfection, they can roughly gather enough Spirit Stones and attempt Foundation Establishment.

Even if Foundation Establishment is risky and the success rate is not high.

But when hope turns into a goal within a reachable leap, one’s morale is completely different.

As long as there’s a two to three-tenths chance, who wouldn’t be willing to bet everything and fight hard?

Friends and family would also be willing to support and invest, wagering a shot.

Even if Foundation Establishment fails.

Those at Qi Cultivation Perfection, on this Starlight Island, as long as they are willing to work and put in effort, can still earn Spirit Stones, living without worry.

...

Two years later, Cold Ice Cave.

The Spiritual Qi within the cave mansion lingered, more nourishing than before.

True Monarch Tian Gong sat in the guest seat, his face showing signs of wear, yet his eyes glimmered with joy.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, fortunately, I did not fail my mission. After two years of devotion and pouring my heart into it, I have finally refined this map."

Having said this, he took out a Storage Pouch, neither silk nor leather from his bosom, with slow and solemn actions.

The mouth of the pouch slightly opened, and a gentle radiance flowed out.

It was an ancient scroll.

The very Tai Chi Immortal Map.

The map quietly lay on the jade desk, about a foot long, with an overall gray haze of primordial light swirling around it.

Upon closer inspection, within the haze subtly divided into black and white colors, slowly rotating, containing the scene of the nascent universe.

"The principal materials of this treasure have all reached Tier Four."

True Monarch Tian Gong lightly tapped the map scroll with his fingertip, naming each item with familiarity: "Tai Chi Primordial Stone as the foundation, is fellow Daoist’s Elixir Core transformed, soul residing. Sun Fire Crystal, Profound Ice Cold Crystal as the yin-yang fish eyes, are the Spiritual Fire True Water Essence nourished by fellow Daoist over the years. The three share the same origin, seamlessly united."

"The other auxiliary materials, Yin-Yang Mica, Universe Jade Fabric, Ten Thousand Years Cyan Milk, etc., are also meticulously selected Tier Three Top Grade by me. During refining, not a moment of slackness was dared, ultimately achieving this item, closely matching fellow Daoist’s initial design."

Shen Xuan concentrated and observed carefully, brightness flashed in his eyes.

He could sense the Tai Chi Primordial Stone in the map subtly resonating with his Dantian, the Sun Fire Crystal and Profound Ice Cold Crystal even more closely connected in aura.
