Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 638 - 392 Great Merit and the Child of Qi Fortune_2
Chapter 638 -392 Great Merit and the Child of Qi Fortune_2
However, the Five Passes God only maintained for a single breath before disintegrating into clusters of light clouds that swiftly vanished into nothingness.
The “Bright Pearls” formed by the five Heavenly Dao Fragments had just been exposed to the world when they suddenly disappeared without a trace from in front of Zhao Sheng, as if they had never appeared at all.
Zhao Sheng, seeing this scene, was not shocked but overjoyed. He immediately slapped his forehead, and a “Great Sun” radiating boundless light rose from the depths of his Soul Sea and then flew out from between his eyebrows.
Compared to before, the Emperor-level Heavenly Dao Fragment made a great resonance with heaven and earth as soon as it emerged.
As the “Great Sun” gradually dissolved, transforming into a sky full of light that merged into the surrounding nature, the vast and boundless sky suddenly manifested strands of misty purple qi out of nowhere.
In the blink of an eye, the misty purple qi spread across the entire sky. Then the nature’s spiritual energy roared like a tide, and an extremely rich spiritual energy suddenly formed many Purple Energy Spirit Lotuses in the sky, slowly blooming and generously falling down.
At this moment, numerous cultivators watched in dumbfounded amazement, with their spirits in a daze.
As a Purple Energy Spirit Lotus passed through the light shield and floated down in front of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he gently caught it with his hand, only to see the Spirit Lotus then blend into his body.
In an instant, a massive amount of extremely pure spiritual energy surged into his Dantian and in a flash became a significant amount of True Yuan, causing his cultivation to skyrocket.
Third Level of Foundation Establishment, broken!
Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, broken!
Before this person could even react, he had successively broken through two barriers and advanced to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
At the same time, countless insights mysteriously emerged in his mind, and various past confusions and doubts suddenly became clear.
Like this lucky individual, each cultivator who received a Purple Energy Spirit Lotus gained benefits to different extents, some with a surge in cultivation, some with heart demons disappearing, but for most, their Dao heart greatly increased, and their tribulations significantly decreased.
Unlike the bewildered Foundation Establishment Cultivators, all of the Nascent Soul Ancestors and some Golden Core Masters immediately recognized what this extraordinary natural phenomenon represented upon seeing the purple qi filling the sky and the descending Spirit Lotuses.
“This…this is a downpour of merit! Who is it? …Who exactly has accomplished such great merit for heaven and earth!”
At this moment, all Nascent Soul Ancestors and a section of Golden Core Masters simultaneously voiced similar questions.
However, not a single person knew who had triggered this earth-shattering phenomenon.
At this very moment, in the quiet room of Zhao’s Cloud Boat, an incredible transformation was taking place.
A vast amount of misty purple qi filled the quiet room, coloring the environment like a purple ocean.
Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged at the center, enveloped by a purple qi vortex, with countless strands of purple qi madly pouring into his body.
Under the nourishment of the purple qi, his body was restored to its original state in an instant, and his spirit reached an unprecedented peak.
At this time, within his Dantian, the Golden Crow True Fire had transformed into a Great Sun occupying a corner of his Qi Sea but was effortlessly refined in the blink of an eye.
Using the Golden Crow True Fire as the True Seed, a great amount of misty purple qi immediately transformed into a vast amount of Golden Crow Spiritual Qi.
Qi Refining First Level,
Qi Refining Second Level
…
Qi Refining Perfection
In one breath, he broke through to Foundation Establishment First Layer!
Second Level of Foundation Establishment,
…
Foundation Establishment Perfection!
Another breakthrough, Golden Core Realm First Level!
Golden Core Realm Second Layer,
…
Golden Core Realm Perfection!
At this time, no one knew that Zhao Sheng had ascended from the Qi Refining First Level directly to the Golden Core Perfect Realm at an unprecedented and brilliant speed.
During his cultivation of the Golden Crow Burning Sky Technique, he even skipped past the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, advancing straight to the limits of the Golden Core Perfect Realm and approaching the threshold of the Nascent Soul Realm before Zhao Sheng stopped increasing his cultivation further.
It was not that he couldn’t continue to advance, but he well understood the principle of keeping a low profile and the dangers of going too far.
Compared to the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, if Zhao Sheng wanted to advance to Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was inevitable.
Although he knew that because of the great merit he had established for his realm, the power of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation had already been weakened a great deal by the Heavenly Dao, such an event would create too much commotion.
He certainly didn’t want to “self-expose” his identity at such a critical juncture.
Hu~
In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a column of breath that shot out a full ten feet before it finally dispersed, momentarily filling the room with a strange fragrance.
Watching the slowly dissipating purple aura, he moved his thoughts, and his Divine Sense burst forth from between his eyebrows, probing forcefully in all directions.
Ten miles,
Twenty miles!
…
Forty-six miles!
In just half an hour, not only had the strength of his Divine Sense more than doubled, but its probing range had also reached an astonishing forty-six miles, nearly rivaling a Nascent Soul Ancestor who had just broken through.
Everything was indeed within his expectations.
The Heavenly Dao of this realm truly longed for the Heavenly Dao Fragments of the Netherworld.
One must know that any Heavenly Dao Fragment contained a massive amount of the laws and principles of its original world.
For the Heavenly Dao of any world, a Heavenly Dao Fragment from another world is entirely a “great supplement”, and its benefits are immeasurable.
Therefore, when Zhao Sheng successfully brought back an Emperor-level Heavenly Dao Fragment, the Heavenly Dao of this realm was so “joyous”.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng felt a certain enlightenment in his heart; he was now favored by the Heavenly Dao of this realm and had become the “Child of Destiny” in a certain sense.
His future path of cultivation was destined to be smooth sailing, and a position as a Divinity Transformation True Monarch was already implicitly reserved for him, as long as he… didn’t screw up!
Bang!
The door to the quiet room was suddenly opened by someone. Zhao Changdu swept in and his gaze immediately fell on Zhao Sheng.
At a single glance, his eyes brightened with surprise and awe.
In just a short moment, Zhao Sheng seemed to have become a different person, not only recovering from his injuries but also brimming with so much spirit that it almost overflowed from his body.
“You… well, never mind, I will not ask,” Zhao Changdu began to inquire but stopped mid-sentence, seemingly hesitant to delve deeper.
A Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator naturally knew that heaven had eyes. Sometimes, the more one knew, the more it could hinder one’s path.
“Come with me now. Remember, when you meet others later, say what should be said, but do not mention a thing that should not be mentioned.”
“Understood!”
Zhao Sheng followed Zhao Changdu out of the quiet room, and in just a few steps, he had already reined in his overwhelming spirit. His aura was much weaker than before, and his face also showed a hint of paleness.
Zhao Changdu saw this and nodded inwardly: “The boy is teachable!”
Soon, after flying over dozens of miles, they arrived at a massive Cloud Boat over two thousand feet long, much larger than a Mountain Shifting Level Cloud Boat, but about three-tenths smaller than a Sea Covering Cloud Boat.
At the moment, in a spacious jade palace on the top deck of the Cloud Boat, a group of Nascent Soul Ancestors was already waiting there.
As soon as the two entered, most eyes immediately fell on Zhao Sheng, filled with suspicion, scrutiny, anger, dissatisfaction, and various other sentiments.
If it were any other Golden Core Master, being watched by so many Nascent Soul Ancestors at the same time, they would have likely been terrified.
But… Zhao Sheng showed no fear, his face calm, even with a hint of a smile on his lips.
A Nascent Soul? He was one in his previous life, what is there to fear!
Seeing this, Zhao Changdu patted him on the shoulder and urged, “Qiong Tian, aren’t you going to offer salutations to your seniors?”
With an understanding smile, Zhao Sheng clasped his fists and saluted the crowd: “Junior Zhao Qiong Tian greets the seniors.”
No sooner had he finished speaking, Zhao Changdu immediately laughed heartily and boasted, “Fellow Taoists, this child of mine has been lurking in the Netherworld for the past few centuries, thus he was seldom seen in our realm. But this return, he has indeed brought great honor to the Zhao Family. To be hunted by several Nascent Soul members of the Heavenly Dao Sect and yet survive unscathed—he alone has achieved such a feat in a thousand years!”
“Brother Zhao, you can’t expect to gloss over the matter. Why did you withdraw the troops early? If it was just for this youngster… You must give us a satisfactory explanation!” At this moment, a white-faced old Taoist dressed in a crane robe and wearing a crane-feathered crown suddenly questioned.
“Heh, an explanation? What explanation? I’ve given all the reasons for withdrawing the troops that I can give, it’s only you who do not believe them. If you want to keep harping on this, Master Chen, why don’t you follow me to see Ancestor Jing for a true explanation—if you dare?”
Zhao Changdu seemed to have little regard for the white-faced old Taoist, his words laced with barbs.
But as soon as he mentioned the name ‘Ancestor Jing’, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy. Many Nascent Souls quickly changed their minds, no longer willing to probe further.
As one of the two Divinity Transformation True Immortals in Central Continent, known as the ‘Dragon-subduing Demon-suppressing Great Master’ Zhao Xuanjing, who was not even two thousand years old and also had the Mountain Dragon as a pet, was expected to live another four or five thousand years.
Who in the Tianzhu Realm would dare to provoke such a ‘long-lived’ Divinity Transformation True Immortal, and who would want to offend him lightly?
And so, this “inquisitive” gathering of Nascent Soul Ancestors ended abruptly, and Zhao Sheng, riding on the coattails of Zhao Xuanjing’s prestige, emerged unscathed.
