Chapter 189: Guardian Jade
"Did Chuan'er get this thing from the immortal ruins?"
Xu Hanyi widened her beautiful eyes and looked at the mysterious black magatama in Lin Chuan's hand.
"Master, do you know him?" Lin Chuan asked with a hint of expectation.
"This is the guardian jade."
There was a hint of solemnity in Xu Hanyi's voice. She reached out and took the black magatama from Lin Chuan's hand, her eyes fixed on it.
"Guardian Jade? What is that?"
Lin Chuan frowned, his face filled with confusion. Although he often read ancient books in his spare time, he had never heard of the name "Guardian Jade".
"It's normal that Chuan'er doesn't know. This thing, your master also saw a record of it in an ancient book in an immortal ruin..."
It turns out that this protective jade was created by a powerful human in ancient times, who created it on a whim by referring to the blood inheritance of the demon race.
Its function is that when an immortal dies, the path of his own practice will be separated from his body and placed in the protective jade.
This way, future generations would have something to rely on. They could use the avenues stripped from the Dao-protecting jade as their foundation, and their cultivation path would be like embarking on a smooth, unimpeded path. With sufficient resources, they could rapidly cultivate a new Immortal Realm powerhouse.
Of course, everything has its downsides. The drawbacks of this method are also extremely obvious. Once the Protector Jade is used, the Immortal Realm becomes the pinnacle of the user's reach. From then on, no matter how hard one tries, further breakthroughs are difficult to achieve.
"Compared with the advantages, the disadvantages are not worth mentioning at all. Why isn't it popularized?" Lin Chuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
As long as the weakest person with the weakest talent is selected each time to use the protective jade and let him achieve the immortal realm, he will then protect the others. This is simply a sacred artifact inherited by the family or force.
"It's not that simple. First of all, people with poor talent simply cannot endure the great path of the Immortal Realm. Even those with good talent, who would be willing to stop at a certain realm for their entire life?"
"Secondly, the Dao within the Dao Protection Jade can only support one person to cultivate to the Immortal Realm. If one wishes to pass it down, the inheritor must strip away their own Dao before death."
"The process of stripping oneself of one's own avenue is extremely painful. A single careless move could lead to failure. Who can guarantee that everyone will be willing to continue this legacy before their death? Even if everyone is willing, who can guarantee success?"
"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the bloodline inheritance of the Guardian Jade and the demon race is not exactly the same. The Guardian Jade has no bloodline restrictions!"
"Whichever faction holds the Dao-protecting jade that holds the path to the Immortal Realm will be guaranteed to gain a member of the Immortal Realm. Under this temptation, the Dao-protecting jade has become a death warrant."
Xu Hanyi's face was solemn as he explained slowly.
"But even if that's the case, there wouldn't be no records at all in the outside world, right?"
Even Xu Hanyi only learned about the Protector Jade from the ancient books in the immortal ruins. Lin Chuan always felt that things were not that simple.
"I don't know about this. After all, it's a product of ancient times. How can we, the later generations, figure out what happened during that time?"
Xu Hanyi shook his head helplessly and returned the Yangdao Jade to Lin Chuan.
"That's right." Lin Chuan put the Yangdao Jade into the storage bag, and then took out a ball of white light.
"Master, do you recognize this?"
"Chuan'er gained a lot from entering the Immortal Ruins this time."
As Xu Hanyi spoke, he reached out and picked up the white ball of light. After carefully examining it for a few seconds, he handed it back to Lin Chuan and slowly said:
"This is a fragment of a law. As for what law it is, I don't know."
"I heard a friend tell me that this is a fragment of the law of life. When you reach a higher level in the future, you can refine it. Is this true?"
Lin Chuan suddenly remembered what Ran had said to him before, so he hurriedly asked Xu Hanyi again.
"Has Chuan'er found a new master?"
Xu Hanyi's face suddenly darkened. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Chuan tightly. His eyes were like sharp arrows, staring at him intently.
"???"
"No." Lin Chuan looked confused.
"First, he taught Chuan'er to strengthen his foundation, and then he refined the fragments of the law. If your friend wasn't your new master, how could he have been teaching you cultivation all this time?"
Xu Hanyi increased the strength in his hands and held Lin Chuan tightly. There seemed to be a crazy possessive desire surging in his eyes, and there was a bit of sinisterness as he stared at Lin Chuan.
"It's really not true."
Helplessly, Lin Chuan had to tell Xu Hanyi everything that happened after entering the ruins. Of course, except for Bai Zhi's story.
"So that's how it is. I misunderstood Chuan'er."
Xu Hanyi lowered her eyes slightly, and the paranoia and ruthlessness in her eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a trace of regret. She slowly loosened her grip on Lin Chuan's hand, her fingers trembling slightly, as if blaming herself for her impulsiveness just now.
"It's okay, Master just cares too much about me."
Lin Chuan, who was already accustomed to Xu Hanyi's yandere nature, gently held Xu Hanyi in his arms and comforted her softly.
"Chuan'er..."
Xu Hanyi snuggled tightly in Lin Chuan's arms, raised her head slightly, looked at him with tender eyes, and called him softly.
"what happened?"
Lin Chuan had a faint smile on his lips, and his slender fingers gently played with Xu Hanyi's hanging black hair.
"Master has never taken the initiative to teach Chuan'er how to practice. Chuan'er... have you ever blamed Master in your heart?"
Xu Hanyi bit her lip slightly, a hint of uneasiness flashing in her eyes.
Lin Chuan paused playing with the black hair, then gently tucked the strand of hair behind Xu Hanyi's ear, looking at her sincerely and gently, with a serious expression on his face.
"there has never been."
"Didn't you do it on purpose to make me happy?"
Xu Hanyi tilted her head and looked at Lin Chuan, as if she could immediately detect any hesitation from Lin Chuan.
"No." Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, his eyes clear and firm.
"In fact, the reason I didn't take the initiative to teach Chuan'er is because Chuan'er's talent is too strong. I was afraid that it would limit your future practice."
Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, her eyes full of complicated emotions. She reached out and gently stroked Lin Chuan's cheek, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
"Master, there's no need to explain. I know everything."
At the beginning, Lin Chuan didn't know much about this world and its cultivation system. Under Xu Hanyi's deception, he accidentally realized the sword intent.
But Lin Chuan is not stupid. He reads books in his spare time and gradually understands the world from them. After learning that someone who comprehends the sword intent in the Jindan stage is called a genius, he also wants to find Xu Hanyi to argue with him.
But on second thought, if Xu Hanyi hadn't deceived him, how could he have possessed the sword intent in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
And after that, although Xu Hanyi seemed to care less about Lin Chuan's practice, as long as Lin Chuan took the initiative to ask, Xu Hanyi would be very serious in answering Lin Chuan's questions.
So, Lin Chuan understood Xu Hanyi's intention.
"Chuan'er..."
"Meeting you is my teacher's luck."
Xu Hanyi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Lin Chuan, and there seemed to be a hint of obsession in his eyes.
"It is my good fortune to have met the Master."
