Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 265 - 223 Heaven and Earth Phenomenon

"To achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment, one needs to condense twenty-seven Transforming Spirit Beads. I have already condensed twenty-five, only two short of perfection," he said.

"It could take as long as three to five years or as short as a year and a half to achieve the goal," he added.

"There is no time to delay, I must prepare for the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation as soon as possible," he declared.

With his mind set, Zhao Sheng immediately rose to his feet and walked out of the Cultivation Room.

Outside the door, the frail Ice Woman saw him emerge and instantly a trace of joy appeared in her pale-colored eyes. She immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Congratulations on leaving seclusion, Young Master. The master has instructed that after you leave seclusion, please proceed to the Spirit Palace Square as soon as possible. The Divine Sacrifice of the Star God is about to begin."

"Understood," Zhao Sheng nodded and turned to walk outside.

The so-called Divine Sacrifice was specifically established for the awakening of the Star God.

The Ice Woman, unaware of the details, thought it was a solemn and grand important ceremony.

As Zhao Sheng stepped out of the palace, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his face showing surprise and astonishment.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen the world, but he lost his composure like this.

That was because the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the surrounding environment was exceptionally high, nearly equivalent to that inside a Third-rank Spirit Vein’s spiritual acupoint.

This was simply not normal!

As far as he knew, the usual concentration of Spiritual Energy near Star God Island on the sea surface was much lower, roughly equivalent to the periphery of a Third-rank Spirit Vein.

The Star God had not fully awakened yet; merely its consciousness fluctuation could temporarily elevate the surrounding Spiritual Energy concentration to such heights, which was unbelievable!

Looking out, the Spirit Palace was surrounded by a vast ocean, but at the southwest end, a dark line appeared as if there were land there.

He knew that was Shattered Star Sea’s most renowned core area, Star God Island.

At this time, the Spirit Palace was stationed hundreds of miles away from Star God Island, at the edge, just short of entering the "Core Circle."

However, that was already the limit; not a step further could be taken.

During the Divine Sacrifice, in order to prevent a "World War," any large-scale destructive "weapons" were not allowed to enter the core circle.

For the next period, this area within a hundred-mile radius of the Star God Palace would probably be the place with the highest density of elites from the Heavenly River Realm.

Nascent Soul Ancestors from top forces from the Five Continents and Four Seas, all bringing the new generations of talented cultivators from their Sects, would rush to Star God Island to attend this once-in-a-century "grand meeting."

In this grand meeting, any Loose Cultivators or families from Sects that did not meet the standards just couldn’t appear here.

The reason was simple, the more people inside the core circle, the lower the chances of being selected.

So, the top forces were all tacitly excluding those "of insufficient strength" from the meeting.

As soon as Zhao Sheng appeared in the square, he immediately drew many gazes, filled with both goodwill and malice, as well as intense scrutiny.

At that moment, hundreds of Spirit Clan "Summoned" standing in the center of the square turned their heads toward this lucky individual.

Spiritual Abyss and Ling Xu, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors, were not here; the three kings were leading on the square.

Ice King was silent and stoic, standing there like an Ice Man, lifeless.

Heavenly River King looked indifferent, but his eyes carried some goodwill.

Only Star Cloud King remained expressionless, His killing intent was hidden but not so hidden from his sensing.

Zhao Sheng scanned the crowd, his gaze sweeping over unfamiliar faces, suddenly stopping on a face that expressed complexity, both annoyance and joy.

In the back of the crowd, Wang Yingling looked at Zhao Sheng not far away with complex emotions.

The scenes of the past twenty years quickly flashed through her mind. That stubborn young man, whom she could not forget and despised deeply, ultimately did not escape fate and returned to the embrace of his clan.

Thinking back on the discussions of her clanspeople in the past few days, Wang Yingling regretted deeply; she had really misjudged that year, never expecting such a wild youngster to possess such pure True Blood of the Spirit Clan.

A second-generation Spirit Clan had just slipped away from her hands.

"If only he had not escaped back then," Wang Yingling thought with great annoyance.

Zhao Sheng composed himself and quickly looked past Wang Yingling to others.

The Spirit Clan was undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Merely among the hundred or so people present, over half were inscrutable in strength, the younger generation of Qi Refiners looked immature, yet almost all of them were surprisingly in the Qi Refining Late Stage, and those in Qi Refining Perfection were no older than thirty.

This was quite outrageous.

Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and thought: "With such profound heritage of the Spirit Clan, it’s not hard to imagine that other top powers, like the Star God Palace, probably abound with talents and extraordinary individuals."

Thinking back to the Elixir Cauldron Sect in his previous life, in terms of strength, it should be far weaker than the Spirit Clan.

The Elixir Cauldron Sect was one of the Ten Great Sects of the Central Continent, but compared to the Spirit Clan, Zhao Sheng always felt it was somewhat "overrated" and seemed a bit "weak."

But universally acknowledged, Central Continent’s deep-rooted heritage is unmatched, reputed as the foremost among the Five Continents and Four Seas, with overall strength also being top-notch in this realm.

If the other Ten Great Sects were also "overrated" like the Elixir Cauldron Sect, Central Continent would probably have declined long ago.

However, Zhao Sheng felt that the reality might not be as simple as it seemed, with every Cultivation World’s Sect power being cunning, deeply versed in the art of hiding their capacities and biding their time.

Compared to those powers that skillfully concealed their strengths, a flamboyant power like the Spirit Clan seemed somewhat "insecure."

While he was lost in thought, Wang Yingling clenched her teeth, stepped out from the crowd, and walked towards Zhao Sheng.
