353: Chapter 353 The Conditions of the Canglan Holy Court

"The god-slaying nail?"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court raised an eyebrow, greatly surprised.

She truly hadn't expected that what Ji Taichang wanted was actually the god-slaying nail.

Although the god-slaying nail was extremely eerie and terrifying, having once cursed to death a Peak ninth-level Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse, shocking the entire Qingling Realm.

However, the person who acted was also a ninth-level Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse, and it involved all seven god-slaying nails used together with a specialized forbidden curse; even the caster themselves paid a heavy price for it.

A single god-slaying nail without the specialized forbidden curse was only average in power, at most exhibiting the strength of a top-grade Magic Treasure, far inferior to a Spirit Treasure.

Additionally, with the other god-slaying nails in the hands of the War God Temple and the Forbidden Zone Supremes, even a Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse could not collect them all.

Therefore, the god-slaying nail had been sealed in the Canglan Holy Court's treasury all these years, gradually forgotten.

"Fellow Daoist Ji had a battle and conflict with the War God Temple; could it be that he obtained a god-slaying nail from them?"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court couldn't help but look at Ji Taichang, speaking to test him.

Ji Taichang remained noncommittal: "Fellow Daoist Long need not ask; today we only speak of the god-slaying nail in the Canglan Holy Court's possession."

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's gaze shifted as she pondered how to handle this.

The Canglan Holy Court was a massive organization with vast resources and was not lacking in any treasures.

But Ji Taichang was at the height of his fame, having obtained a world-shaking Opportunity in the Konglan Sea Area; barring any accidents, he would surely ascend in the future!

Faced with such a powerhouse, it would be inappropriate to refuse him outright.

Even if they couldn't befriend him, they should at least avoid making an enemy of him.

After a moment's thought, she looked at Ji Taichang and asked seriously, "Fellow Daoist Ji, if I may ask, what is your true bone age? This relates to our conditions for trading the god-slaying nail."

Ji Taichang didn't understand why she asked, but still said indifferently, "Less than thirty years old."

"Impossible—"

"To be able to go head-to-head with two Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouses at less than thirty years old, how is that possible?!"

"Even a reincarnated Immortal couldn't Cultivate this fast!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the minds of the Canglan Holy Court Cultivators buzzing; many instinctively cried out in shock!

Looking back at the history of the entire Qingling Realm, the one with the fastest cultivation speed took over a hundred years to enter the Mahayana Stage.

As for the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, the youngest in history was also over three hundred years old!

For Ji Taichang to have the strength of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage at less than thirty years old defied all logic!

Even the Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court frowned slightly: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ji... obtained an Immortality Medicine in the Forbidden Zone of Life and lived a second life? Or... reshaped your Physical Body?"

She also didn't believe at all that someone could Cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage in less than thirty years!

So she guessed that Ji Taichang's body might have been reshaped, but his Primordial Spirit and memories belonged to an older generation powerhouse, similar to a Phoenix's Nirvana.

In such a case, one could indeed say the bone age is young, but the true age would be quite ancient!

Ji Taichang remained noncommittal, not wanting to reveal too much, and asked in return, "Fellow Daoist Long, what are the conditions for trading the god-slaying nail?"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's brow remained furrowed: "If Fellow Daoist only has a young bone age but an old Primordial Spirit age, I'm afraid it still won't work."

Ji Taichang was helpless and could only say, "My Primordial Spirit's age is the same as my bone age; both are less than thirty years old."

"?"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court gave Ji Taichang a skeptical look, her eyes screaming, "Really? I don't believe it!"

But after a moment's thought, she still said, "Fellow Daoist Ji should know that the Ancient Sea God was a member of our Canglan Holy Court. Before his Ascension, he left behind a fortuitous Opportunity for the Canglan Holy Court, which is the root of why our Canglan Holy Court has stood firm since ancient times and remained at its Peak!"

"That is a secret treasure land that only the younger generation can enter, but for thousands of years, no one from our Canglan Holy Court has been able to pass the trial and obtain the true inheritance."

Ji Taichang's heart stirred as he understood the Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's thoughts.

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court had inquired about Ji Taichang's deeds and knew that his cultivation was only at the Void Refinement Stage in the Konglan Sea Area when he fought Long Yiling; thus, she guessed he wasn't old and wanted him to try!

"Therefore, if Fellow Daoist Ji is truly young enough to enter the treasure land and assist Long Yiling in obtaining the Ancient Sea God's true inheritance, the Canglan Holy Court will surely present the god-slaying nail with both hands."

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court said seriously.

"Ah? Him??"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar and shock among the Canglan Holy Court Cultivators!

Long Yiling instinctively objected, "Revered Master, you can't! That is a treasure land left to us by our ancestors; how can we let an outsider enter..."

"You have the nerve to say that!"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court glared at her and said via voice transmission, "If it weren't for the fact that you all are too weak and unable to pass the trial, why would I take such a risky move?"

Long Yiling pursed her lips: "But... Revered Master, you didn't pass the trial back then either."

"..."

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's mouth twitched slightly.

The difficulty of the trial set by the Ancient Sea God was too Heaven-Defying; ordinary geniuses simply couldn't pass it!

And the Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse of the Canglan Holy Court was already elderly with little Lifespan remaining; the Canglan Holy Court urgently needed to Cultivate the next Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse, which was why she had to resort to this plan.

Looking across the entire Canglan Holy Court, only Long Yiling had the highest Aptitude and the best hope of entering the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Furthermore, Long Yiling was a descendant of the Azure Dragon and possessed the Ancient Sea God's Bloodline; the only drawback was that her Aptitude and combat power were slightly lacking, preventing her from passing the trial.

With Ji Taichang's help, this would definitely be a sure thing!

The only concern was whether Ji Taichang's age was truly under thirty and if he could enter the treasure land.

With this thought in mind...

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court looked at Ji Taichang: "If Fellow Daoist Ji agrees, how about we both swear a Heavenly Dao oath and let the heavens witness it?"

"Fine."

Ji Taichang nodded nonchalantly: "As long as you can get me into the treasure land, I'll pass whatever trial there is!"

Not to mention his Immortal Rank talent, the Creation Green Lotus Dao Seed, his six Supreme-grade talents alone were enough to crush any trial in the Qingling Realm!

A true top-tier power-leveler!

"Good!"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's face broke into a smile, her heart finally at ease.

The two of them swore the Heavenly Dao oath simultaneously, causing the Eye of the Heavenly Dao to emerge; a grand and sacred aura swept through, recording their oaths.

Ji Taichang and Cai Ling were invited to be guests at the Canglan Holy Court.

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court acted personally, dripping her own essence blood onto Ji Taichang and performing a secret technique to grant him the Azure Dragon Bloodline temporarily, allowing him to deceive the heavens.

Ji Taichang and Long Yiling began heading toward the treasure land left by the Ancient Sea God.

This place was located within an underground Spiritual Vein deep on the seabed, where thirty-six Azure Dragon pearls floated, emitting a mysterious light; Yao Race runes shimmered and intertwined, forming the shape of a light gate.

The expressions of both the Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court and Long Yiling turned solemn and grave, carrying a hint of deep longing!

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court, joined by three Canglan Holy Court Old Ancestors, each activated a token and began to open the light gate together.
