Chương 18: The Well of Wishes

The moment she saw Fang Yang lower his aura, the Golden Spirit Mother's divine sense silently approached. She wanted to see if Fang Yang's opportunities could compare to her own.

The Golden Spirit Mother wasn't necessarily after anything from the River of Myriad Treasures; she had already benefited immensely from what the Tongtian Sect Leader had given her. She was competing with the River of Myriad Treasures; she refused to believe she couldn't even catch a single innate spiritual treasure.

Of course, if someone from the Jie Sect had even worse opportunities than herself, she would find some solace in that.

Anyway, these disciples of great sage sects have no shortage of opportunities. Even if Fang Yang doesn't catch any good treasures, at most he will just "make a name for himself" in the Jie Sect, just like her.

"Junior Brother is of human origin, and after the death of his 632nd generation ancestor, his lineage became mortals."

"In the generation of my junior brother's grandfather, their tribe encountered a beast tide, and the chieftain and elders all perished while trying to resist it. The surrounding tribes took the opportunity to kick them while they were down, trying to swallow them up."

"After the tribe was destroyed, my junior brother's family almost became slaves. They managed to escape by hiding in a hole in a large banyan tree."

Thinking about Fang Yang's past, Jinling Shengmu's confidence soared. Fang Yang's luck was clearly inferior to hers; if it came down to opportunities, she would be the clear winner.

Fang Yang, however, didn't have so many inner monologues. The past didn't exist, the future hadn't arrived yet, and the present was what he should be grasping. He stared intently at the Wanbao River, sensing every fluctuation within it.

While it may seem like a matter of chance, one must seize the opportunity. Opportunities don't wait for anyone forever; once the chance has passed, it may slip away.

Seeing Fang Yang's calm and collected demeanor, the Golden Spirit Mother's opinion of this newly arrived junior brother changed drastically. Fang Yang's cultivation might not be that great, but his character was certainly commendable.

Time passed slowly, three months went by, and neither Jinling Shengmu nor Fang Yang had made any progress. Jinling Shengmu had begun to conclude that Fang Yang, like herself, was someone who couldn't obtain opportunities.

Just then, a faint smile appeared on Fang Yang's face, and he said softly, "They're here!"

"Um?"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit suddenly looked at Fang Yang's fishing rod and saw that a faint chaotic aura suddenly rose from the surface of the river beneath Fang Yang.

"Chaotic aura? Oh no! Junior Brother hasn't even attained the Great Luo realm yet; he can't withstand the erosion of chaotic aura. What on earth did Junior Brother catch that actually stirred up chaotic aura?"

Although the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was very surprised, she did not slow down her movements at all.

The moment she saw the chaotic energy, a precious wheel shining with sunlight, moonlight, and starlight silently appeared above Fang Yang's head. The radiance of the sun, moon, and stars shone on Fang Yang, draping him in a starlight robe.

This magical artifact is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Sun, Moon, and Five Star Wheel, which the Golden Spirit Mother obtained during her travels through the starry sky. This treasure is also her natal magical artifact.

The chaotic energy drifted towards Fang Yang, attempting to assimilate him and turn him into chaos. However, it crashed into the starlight robe and was shattered.

Fang Yang raised his hand, looking at the flowing energy of the sun, moon, and stars around him, and was quite shocked.

Although he could protect himself with his innate spiritual treasure even if the Golden Spirit Mother didn't intervene, she saved him without hesitation, which greatly shocked him.

He had only recently become a direct disciple and was not familiar with the Golden Spirit Mother at all, yet she protected him so much.

He had always known that the scoundrels among the disciples of the Jie Sect had no bottom line, but he never imagined that the moral standards of the true immortals in the Jie Sect were also so high that they were astonishing.

Fang Yang didn't thank him immediately because he sensed that he had caught a big catch. All his strength and will were focused on battling this big fish.

Seeing Fang Yang's body stiffen and he was using all his magical power, the Golden Spirit Mother knew what Fang Yang had encountered. She felt no jealousy, nor did she sit idly by; instead, she activated the Sun, Moon, and Five Star Wheels once more.

She used the Sun, Moon, and Five Star Wheels to empower Fang Yang.

The Golden Spirit Mother's gaze was fixed on the Myriad Treasures River, and she felt a faint sense of anticipation.

If Fang Yang were in the Air Force like her, she would certainly be gloating. However, since Fang Yang has had this opportunity, she is happy for him.

The situation changed immediately after the Golden Spirit Mother made her move.

Glug! Glug!

With the blessing of the Golden Spirit Mother's power, Fang Yang felt an inexhaustible supply of energy. In fact, he didn't even need to exert any force; he only needed to release his own vital energy.

Countless bubbles of all sizes rose to the surface of the river, and the chaotic energy that had just been there disappeared.

Fang Yang realized that the treasure he had fished out must have been in the chaos. After the treasure was dragged into the River of Myriad Treasures, the chaotic energy naturally disappeared.

boom!

A colossal object burst forth from the water, its immense shadow engulfing the void for tens of thousands of miles. After detaching itself from the Myriad Treasures River, it crashed down with tremendous force, shattering the boundless void into dust.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit used her magic to condense a giant hand of starlight, steadily holding the object in the air. Even as Fang Yang was still looking up, she had already seen the object's entire form.

What Fang Yang fished up was not a primordial spiritual treasure, but a divine object born in the chaotic world. The divine object's true form was an ancient well, and the water inside the well was not water, but the water of desire condensed from the desires of countless beings from countless eras and worlds.

With a squeeze of her palm, the ancient well rapidly shrank, eventually shrinking to its normal size.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, you have obtained a divine artifact!"

After Jinling Shengmu presented the ancient well to Fang Yang, she said...

She was very curious about this divine object and wanted to know its mysteries. However, divine objects are inherently concealed, and only those with the right destiny can know their mysteries before they are refined.

Fang Yang grasped the ancient well in his hand, and in that instant, he learned of its mysteries.

The ancient well is an evil object!

He said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Sister. This item is called the Well of Wishes, and it can grant many wishes. Of course, its power is limited; it can only provide a means to fulfill wishes, not directly help cultivators achieve them. Furthermore, making a wish requires paying a price equal to the wish itself."

The rule of the Well of Wishes is that the day a desire is fulfilled is the day it must be repaid. Most absurdly, if the Well of Wishes cannot grant a wish, it will grant it in the form of an illusion.

As long as the person making the wish believes that their wish has been fulfilled, the Well of Wishes can collect a price from that person.

Fang Yang felt that this thing should be called the Well of Desire more appropriately.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Spirit Mother raised an eyebrow slightly. According to Fang Yang, this ancient well was completely useless.

If these people want their wishes fulfilled, they can directly make a wish to the Tongtian Sect Leader. If even the Tongtian Sect Leader can't grant it, then the Well of Wishes is even less likely to do so.

She comforted him, "Junior brother, don't be discouraged. You can use this item to set up formations or cultivate supernatural powers."

Fang Yang nodded slightly. What the Golden Spirit Mother said made a lot of sense. However, Fang Yang felt that if this ancient well were used properly, he could kill even a quasi-saint.

After all, he wouldn't voluntarily reveal the mysteries of the Well of Wishes to the other party, and the Golden Spirit Mother wasn't one to spread rumors.
