Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 476 - 388: The World, All in One Heart

The Dream Tao school would be the mainstream in the coming era. This fact was not only known to Hong Yuan, but any Saint with a modicum of insight also understood it. Even those well-informed mortals at the fifth rank had their own realizations.

Furthermore, the nine Great Dream Seeds had yet to cultivate and usher in the era of the Dream Tao school, so its presence was still under the radar. Dream Tao Marks were extremely rare and hardly sufficient to cultivate corresponding miraculous natural treasures.

Under such circumstances, anything related to Dream Tao Resource Points became a top priority for all forces, not to be easily revealed or spoken of.

After spending a week searching for various Dream Tao materials, Hong Yuan frustratingly discovered he simply could not gather enough Dream Tao materials through normal trading means!

The pace of refining a Dream Tao Holy Artifact was in danger of halting!

I never expected that one day I would encounter a moment when money couldn’t buy what my heart desired...

Hong Yuan reclined on his dragon chair, his crimson dragon eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

An Immortal Nuance Stone flipped back and forth in his hand, rising and falling as he tossed it around.

Truth be told, ever since the Cultivation Methods of the Great Moon Saint Han Jiuming were auctioned off, attracting beings of the Quasi-Emperor level, Hong Yuan had almost never worried about cultivation resources.

But now, these Dream Tao resources were uniquely frustrating for him.

It was not that he lacked money, but rather he had no way to purchase them!

He wanted to reach the Supreme Grandmaster Realm of Dream Tao ahead of both the Human Race and the Demon Clan, but it was not so simple!

If others do not possess Dream Tao resources, then the two colossal powers—the Human Clan Heavenly Palace and the Demon Clan Demon Court—undoubtedly will, Hong Yuan mused.

They would even dispatch Saints to guard and take direct control. Now, what pretext should I use to request these Dream Tao resources? Let me think carefully...

Hong Yuan narrowed his crimson eyes, his silver-white frosty hair draping over his shoulders.

Behind him, a Divine Appearance with seven dazzling stars first emerged, representing the Big Dipper constellation.

This Big Dipper constellation illuminated Hong Yuan, making his thoughts even more active and sharp.

Following that, the Life Holy Artifact of Hong Yuan’s Demonic Body, the Purple-Gold Furnace, let out a roar, casting a beam of Purple Gold Divine Light onto the Divine Appearance of the Big Dipper, endowing the constellation with even greater "nobility."

This Wisdom Tao Divine Power, Seven Star Beads, instantly advanced a level; it was truly remarkable!

HUMMM—

Hong Yuan’s crimson dragon eyes occasionally flickered with Purple Gold Divine Light.

Gradually, a smile appeared on his face.

Besides requesting these resources from the two colossal powers, he could also cultivate them himself!

As it happened, the concept of "Imitate Holy Artifact," "Approach Holy Artifact," and "Supplant Holy Artifact" from his previous experiences in the Destiny Demon Realm was a perfect fit.

Tsk tsk, there is great medicine within the human body, he thought.

You all better cultivate diligently into the forms I require. Only then can your ’spirits’ lead a good life!

「Above the Purple Golden Palace.」

Hong Yuan commenced Artifact Refining, something he had not done for a long time.

He started as if mass-producing items: first Water Tao Instruments, then Ice Tao Instruments.

However, these Instruments were different from the usual. Hong Yuan, utilizing his Grandmaster Level mastery of Refining Tao, forcibly incorporated a fragment of Dream Tao essence into materials of other schools.

Previously, the cultivation system in the Destiny Demon Realm had followed the three steps of "Imitate Holy Artifact," "Approach Holy Artifact," and "Supplant Holy Artifact," achieving notable success.

All Hong Yuan needed to do was to convert the "Supplant Holy Artifact" step into "Become Holy Artifact." Oh ho, wouldn’t that allow him to obtain the Dream Tao resources he lacked?

Even if only one in ten thousand attempts proved successful, it would be worthwhile because he could then cultivate them a second time.

These Instruments, tinged with a bit of Dream Tao essence, Hong Yuan named "Demon Instruments"!

Before long, Hong Yuan casually cast these Demon Instruments into different corners of the Destiny Demon Realm, waiting for fated individuals to help him purify and enhance them with souls and True Spirits.

Soon, the first fated person appeared.

「In the Destiny Demon Realm, Northern Region of Divine State.」

「Qing He Mountain.」

The north wind sliced like a blade, whipping up a thousand piles of snow. The harsh winter was like a prison, turning dripping water into ice.

From a bamboo forest amidst the snow-covered mountains, a young man in a thick cotton robe stepped out.

This young man was named Yuan Chao. He walked over to the trap he had set, and his face immediately fell. A loss, a total loss! Not even an unranked demonic insect!

Despondence filled Yuan Chao’s face.

Just as he was about to move away, he caught sight of a glimmer of cold light deep within the trap.

He looked closely, and his expression changed dramatically, overcome with ecstasy. Yet, moments later, he forcefully suppressed his emotions, though the upturned corners of his eyes betrayed his joyous expression.

This broken bronze mirror is definitely no inferior to the companion Instrument of Shopkeeper Situ Lanlan. It has to be at least third rank!

I, Yuan Chao, am going to strike it rich!!!

Yuan Chao’s heart was elated.

He bent down, dismantled the trap, and retrieved the broken mirror. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As soon as he touched the broken mirror, it transformed into a black beam and, with a thunderous sound, merged into his body, positioning itself above his Aperture.

Yuan Chao’s body stiffened. But as he began to receive the information transmitted by the broken mirror, he could no longer contain his delight and let out a roaring cheer.

He savored the sweet taste of joy that comes after bitter suffering!

The Empty Instrument...

After successful refinement, it can help its master control the power of space...

Hahaha, I knew it! I, Yuan Chao, was never fated to be a lowly Spirit Farmer forever!

「That night.」

The sky was as dark as ink.
