Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 366 - 268 Arrival at Star God Island_2

Chapter 366: Chapter 268 Arrival at Star God Island_2

Electric light flashed, and the Thunder Mother suddenly flew up, its enormous shell instantly hovering in the atmosphere, actually initiating a separation from the Sea Suppression Cloud Boat.

On the other hand, Zhao Sheng and the others all flew back near the Cloud Boat, their expressions wary as they looked towards the gradually receding thundercloud sea.

At this moment, within the dim thunder clouds, countless Thunder Insects crowded together. At the forefront, six massive Thunder Mothers quietly hovered at the edge of the thunder clouds, their belly tendrils wildly thrashing, casting electric light and thunder in disarray.

Only when the Fifth-Order Thunder Mother flashed and “wriggled” back into the cloud sea and rejoined the swarm of insects.

Under the gaze of Zhao Sheng and his company, the Thunderstorm Mica group gradually disappeared back into the thick dark clouds.

...

Just back in the control room of the Cloud Boat, Jiao Zuo with his red hair, looking puzzled, took the initiative to ask, “Master Yao, why didn’t we join forces to capture that Fifth-Order Thunder Mother, to avenge the grudge of the insect tide blocking our path?”

Yao Fang pursed his lips, silently calming his constantly unsettled True Yuan.

Zhao Sheng, as if struck by a thought, said, “Could it be that Master Yao does not wish to make an enemy of the Thunderstorm Mica? I have heard that this type of demon insects is naturally ferocious and simple-minded, but holds deep grudges.”

“Taoist Zhao, you are absolutely right. Thunder Insects are impossible to eradicate completely, and our sect naturally does not wish to exhaust our strength needlessly and make enemies. For our sect, maintaining an open route is of utmost importance,” said Feng Hou Taoist, his face pale but his words full of approval.

The face of the white-robed Master Ye Lv changed, and with a sudden chill of fear, he said, “It’s not just that. Haven’t you noticed? From beginning to end, there has been no sign of the Thunder King. If there were a Seventh-Order Thunder King among them, we likely would not have survived.”

At that moment, Yao Fang suddenly gave a slight smile and explained to the three, “Rest assured, fellow Taoists. A Thunder King above Seventh-Order would not dare to appear so rashly. As for the reason, I think you might have guessed it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng felt enlightened.

Seventh-Rank Great Demons have open spiritual wisdom, with an intelligence comparable to that of humans.

Such Nascent Soul-level Demon Kings must have already formed a tacit understanding with the Vast Sect.

They do not personally attack the Sea Suppression Cloud Boat, and the Vast Sect naturally would not go to great lengths to kill such high-level Demon Kings.

Since ancient times, humans and demons have not stood together, but that is for middle and low-level demon beasts. Once they reach the seventh rank or higher, there are Demon Kings and members of the Human Clan who engage in secret dealings and even form close alliances.

Now that they had escaped danger, Zhao Sheng couldn’t be bothered to think about the sordid affairs between the higher echelons of the human and demon races. What he cared about now was when he would receive his reward for this mission.

Coincidentally, the others were of the same mind.

Jiao Zuo, coming from a Loose Cultivator background, was most keen on the reward, and immediately asked Yao Fang, “Master Yao, when can I get the things I want?”

Upon this question, Zhao Sheng and Master Ye Lv instantly turned their eyes to Yao Fang.

“Do not rush, fellow Taoists. As your requests are varied, I need time to gather the items each of you desires. However, for Taoist Jiao, the simplest request, once we arrive at Star God Island, in at most two days’ time, the items will surely be delivered to your hands.”

Jiao Zuo nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Yao Fang turned to the other two, explaining, “Taoist Zhao, your request is somewhat more complicated. If you are not in a hurry, I ask that you patiently wait on the island for some time.

As for Taoist Ye Lv’s request, I must wait to return from the voyage before reporting in detail to the Sect Leader. However, I can assure you that Taoist Ye Lv will certainly get what he wishes for.”

“I am not in a hurry. Two to three months is also within my waiting period,” said Zhao Sheng.

“Haha, then I’ll leave it to Master Yao,” he laughed.

With these responses, the trio of Zhao Sheng was quite satisfied.

…

After surviving the Thunder Insect calamity, the rest of the voyage encountered some minor hiccups, but all were safely resolved.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and the Sea Suppression Cloud Boat finally arrived at its final destination: Star God Island.

Humm!

A white light column, more than twenty zhang thick, suddenly shot out from the belly of the gigantic Disc-shaped Boat with a diameter of a thousand zhang, connecting to a large Array on the ground at the light column’s end.

Zhao Sheng, Jiao Zuo, and Master Ye Lv were among the first batch of passengers to disembark, slowly descending through the light column.

A moment later, the three touched down on the ground.

Zhao Sheng cupped his hands towards the two and said loudly, “Brother Jiao, Brother Ye. I will be staying on Star God Island for a few months. If you need anything in the future, bring the token and come find me. I will certainly welcome you with open arms.”

“Brother Zhao, I truly admire your character and strength. I will definitely visit more often in the future. Just don’t get sick of me!” Jiao Zuo returned the gesture with a fist and palm salute, saying with a smile.

Zhao Sheng looked slightly reproachful as he replied, “Ah, Brother Jiao, you flatter me. How could I possibly mind a visit from such an esteemed Golden Core Master? It would be my honor!”

In the meantime, Master Ye Lv managed a sincere smile and said earnestly, “Taoist Zhao is young, yet possesses such cultivation; your potential is limitless! For us to have made your acquaintance is indeed a stroke of luck.”

Ye Lv was a person of indifferent character and high self-esteem, so for him to utter such words, it was clear that Zhao Sheng had greatly impressed him.

During the half-year-long journey, Zhao Sheng occasionally demonstrated his extensive knowledge and outstanding performance in mastering a variety of magic skills, which had already made Ye Lv feel inferior secretly.

In addition, Zhao Sheng’s strength was exceptionally overbearing, even surpassing Ye Lv by a few notches.

In the Cultivation World, it has always been the case that the strong are revered, so Ye Lv’s reaction was not surprising.

Faced with Ye Lv’s praise, Zhao Sheng naturally responded with modesty.

In the time it took for a few words, the second batch of passengers began to come down.

To avoid trouble, Zhao Sheng and the other two set a date for a future reunion and then said their goodbyes and departed.

Zhao Sheng directed his True Yuan, generating a clump of golden flames beneath his feet, and then soared into the sky.

Having flown over the vast expanse of the Cloud Boat plaza, he headed directly toward the bustling Star City not far away.

Star God Island was not large, spanning only a thousand square miles.

But this island was the core strategic location of the Shattered Star Sea and also the center of the entire Shattered Star Sea’s cultivation market and power, ranked as one of the regions with the highest average Cultivation Realm in the Tianzhu Realm. Here, it could be said that those in the Qi Refining Realm were as common as dogs, those in Foundation Establishment were everywhere, and only Golden Core could strut around.

All the notable forces of the Shattered Star Sea would go to great lengths to purchase a piece of land on Star God Island to establish their power base.

This place was a Holy Land that countless native cultivators aspired to, where not only every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, but it was also a realm as beautiful as the abode of immortals.

Of course, for those with thin wallets, this place was also hell.

Compared to the workshops in other boundaries, the buildings in Star City were mostly grand and magnificent, and one could see towering edifices and palaces reaching dozens to hundreds of feet high everywhere.

Each building occupied a vast area, shrouded in layers of rune formations imbued with dense Dharma Images, and glowing Array Formation Light Walls.

“… Situ, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger… Spring and Autumn Alliance, Four Seas Sect… Chen Family of Wind and Fire Island, Qi Yang Guang Family, Fenshui Sect of Dragon Head Island…”

Zhao Sheng restrained his aura as he casually walked along the wide and straight streets of Star City, appearing to be just an ordinary sightseeing tourist at a glance,

His gaze swept across the tall buildings on both sides of the street, with a stream of names both familiar and unfamiliar passing through his mind,

At that moment, the street was buzzing with the sounds of people and beasts, filled with numerous demon beasts and birds of prey, and a constant flow of Human Clan members clad in various attire, all bustling and moving in a stream, interspersed with many native Alien Races with fur, scales, and different shapes and colors from the Human Clan.

It was not uncommon to see numerous cultivators of extraordinary stature being escorted by crowds as they moved forward, and many cultivators rode or led various exotic Demon Pets through the crowd.

However, no matter how arrogant someone was, upon arriving in Star City, they all followed the rules obediently, not daring to violate the laws of the city.

Because in Star City, on Star God Island, and even in the entire Inner Star Sea, the Star God Palace was heaven!

With the Star God Palace overseeing the area, even Nascent Soul Ancestors dared not cause trouble on the island.

An hour later, Zhao Sheng, in the outermost workshop of Star City, saw a nine-story tall tower with a surface as white as jade.

This tower was constructed out of huge white gang rocks each a zhang square, with the joints between the stones neat and fine and the surface as smooth as a mirror as if carved from one piece.

At the top of the tower flashed golden characters: “Dome Turtle Zhao Family.”

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, knowing already that their development here was good.

Seeing it today, it indeed slightly exceeded his expectations.

For the Dome Turtle Zhao Family to have bought such a large piece of land in Star City, it must have cost a pretty penny, which meant the family was quite affluent.

Recalling various information about the Dome Turtle Zhao Family, Zhao Sheng took steps toward the great door of the stone tower.

As he approached within three zhang of the door, he was stopped by two guards, standing chest out and belly stacked, clad in Mystic Turtle armor.

Without waiting for them to speak, Zhao Sheng extended one hand forward, revealing in his palm a token engraved with a mountain – representing the ancestral land of the Zhao Family: Taifu Mountain.

The mountain on the token was covered with peach trees, with bright and eye-catching peach blossoms among them.

He then activated it with True Yuan, which immediately brought forth a radiant golden character for “Zhao.”

The two guards were Qi Refining Realm cultivators and members of the Zhao Clan, and upon seeing this token, their expressions became extremely excited.
