Chapter 1582: Chapter 655: Pure Yang Ancestor Master Pill

The Yang Fish swam towards Ning Zhuo by half an inch, then stopped again.

Ning Zhuo’s fingertip moved slightly, and the Yang Fish immediately shrank back a little. The hint of chill in the eyes of the ink jade flashed briefly, like a flash of dark light sweeping across the depths of an ancient well a thousand years old.

Ning Zhuo immediately understood in his heart.

The Yang Fish had already sensed the pure Yang energy on him and was willing to come closer, yet it still maintained its distance.

It was not truly intimate with him, let alone approving—its interest in him was merely because his flesh body was pure, his Origin Yang abundant, and his Child’s Body unstained and flawless.

This kind of favor was like a spirit fish detecting the sweet spring vein in a clear stream—just a whiff, not yet a sip, and certainly not thinking of dwelling in the depths of that spring.

Chun Yangzi asked, "How do you feel?"

Ning Zhuo earnestly replied, "Junior’s knowledge is shallow, I can only say, this treasure of Senior’s is unfathomable!"

The corners of Chun Yangzi’s mouth moved slightly, evidently finding this answer satisfactory.

He lowered his eyes, looking at the Yang Fish leisurely swimming in the golden light, and a sense of pride and value that couldn’t be suppressed rose in his expression again: "It has been with my Pure Yang Palace for too long. Before each generation of Sect Leader passed away, they would purify it with a breath of Pure Yang Life Essence Qi. Over a thousand years, the Yang Dao phenomenon it carries is incomparable to ordinary magic treasures."

"Alright, I will leave the Yang Fish with you for now. Cultivate well; to defeat the Three Braves of Xiang Sect, it is your most reliable asset. Once you have absorbed the power of the Pure Yang Ancestor Master Pill, and your Yang Dao realm elevates, the Yang Fish will become more intimate with you until it truly recognizes you." Chun Yangzi expressed his intention to leave.

Ning Zhuo respectfully saw him out of the Cave Mansion.

Returning to the Cave Mansion, he immediately activated the Martial Arts Array and cultivated alone.

Ning Zhuo’s palm stopped in mid-air.

The Yang Fish floated in mid-air, maintaining a distance from Ning Zhuo, the closest it got was to slowly circle around his fingertip.

Every time the Yang Fish swam by, Ning Zhuo could clearly sense the vast power contained within that small body!

On the surface, it was only three inches long, with scales thin as cicada wings, and its swimming style was as lively as a child playing with water, yet in Ning Zhuo’s divine sense, the inside of this little fish seemed to hide a vast expanse of golden ocean.

Every slight flick of its tail stirred silent surges in the depths of its scales, raising tens of thousands of feet of waves!

This was not ordinary Yang energy, but a thousand-year pure Yang foundation accumulated after being repeatedly purified, nourished, and refined with life essence Pure Yang Qi by generations of Sect Leaders of Pure Yang Palace. Perfectly pure and profoundly deep as rivers and seas, immense as the boundless sky.

A feeling even rose in Ning Zhuo’s heart—a sense that if this Yang Fish were to truly become angry, a slight open of its mouth and emission of a thread-thin golden light would be enough to pierce through, burn, and fuse into a stream of light everything he painstakingly managed: the Mechanical Puppet, Xuanbing Armor Formation, and Five Elements Magic.

As a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator, he was as insignificant as a fallen leaf on a boundless golden sea in front of such a Spiritual Treasure, not even a wave, not a speck of foam.

Even more terrifying was that the Yang Fish did not require constant activation by anyone; it was alive.

It would become intimate, be averse, avoid, and probe.

Its spiritual wisdom was naive as a newborn beast, yet it already had the heart of seeking joy, escaping fear. It would happily fin-wave upon Chun Yangzi’s praise, curiously sniff with Ning Zhuo’s approach, and cautiously retreat at unknown touch.

This is a Spiritual Treasure.

Ning Zhuo slowly withdrew his hand, his Heart Lake turbulent.

He had once interacted with the Nanming Fire Furnace, seen the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit curled up in the shadow of the furnace heart, looking frail.

The Nanming Fire Furnace was a heavily damaged and broken body, its Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit dormant and injured, unable to provide Ning Zhuo a direct exhibition of Spiritual Treasure’s divine power.

The Yang Fish before him was entirely different—it was whole, vibrant, bright, with no cracks of collapse or traces of old wounds, its entire being circulating with an air nearly perfect, like a real morning sun, just risen, not yet setting in the west.

It made Ning Zhuo directly witness—what brilliance and magnificence a perfectly maintained Spiritual Treasure should possess!

Above Magic Treasure, there is Spiritual Treasure.

Above Spiritual Treasure, there is Taoist Artifact.

Contained within a Taoist Artifact is the complete texture of the Great Dao, capable of self-releasing divine skills. The Heaven-reaching Hook is this type of artifact.

However, even a Taoist Artifact has its limitations—the weight of principle is too heavy!

It is like a track firmly imprinted by the laws of Heaven and Earth, strong, deep, stable, and hence, rigid as well.

To exert power, a Taoist Artifact must meet activation conditions—be it refining method, qi mechanism traction, causal imposition, or battlefield configurations. Without such conditions met, a Taoist Artifact, no matter how strong, is like a lone peak suspended at the sky, visible but immovable.

Spiritual Treasure, on the other hand, has its own wonders—Spiritual Treasure has spiritual nature.

With spiritual nature, there is independent thought. With independent thought, there is the ability to self-judge, self-evade, and self-utilize power.

Thus, even if the owner reacted a moment too late, a Spiritual Treasure might protect the owner in advance. Even if the owner did not recognize the impending danger in time, the Spiritual Treasure could instinctively respond first.

The Nanming Fire Furnace once was like this, and the Yang Fish even more so.

It’s extremely rare for spiritual nature to arise in Taoist Artifacts. The weight of the Great Dao’s texture is too oppressive, layered down like mountains pressing the water surface. Spiritual nature is agile and adaptable, favoring crevices, swirling, cyclic regeneration.

In places where the principle is overly heavy, spiritual nature finds it hard to root. Even if occasionally a glimmer of spirit light would awaken, it would be polished, pressed, and assimilated by the Taoist Artifact’s inherently heavy iron-like principles.
