Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 356: Chapter 263 Seven Fires Gather, Two Poles Are Hard to Find_2

Nine Stars Alinement, Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Sacrifice Array, Chi Demon Banner, weak space region…

In an instant, his mind raced with countless thoughts, and he exclaimed subconsciously, “Could it be that the Ghost Chi Remnants are planning to open another space-time channel at Heavenly Pillar Mountain.”

“Haha, Qingyang, your mind sure works fast. However, it’s not the Ghost Chi Remnants who planned this, but something the Great Chi Jian left behind before his death.”

“To take revenge on the Human Clan?”

“Yes, exactly! To take revenge on the Human Clan! It’s a do-or-die counterattack by an Alien Race Great Ability comparable to Divinity Transformation. If his purpose were to succeed, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“Heh! He dreams big, but the success rate is too low.” Zhao Sheng sneered coldly, mocking the Great Chi Jian’s wild imagination.

Zhao Xuanjing, however, said, “Even if there is a slim chance of success, he would cling to it desperately.”

“Alright, this matter doesn’t concern us much; there are specialists handling it. Right now, I want to discuss something else with you.”

Seeing Zhao Xuanjing deflecting the conversation, Zhao Sheng pondered and suddenly asked with a sly expression, “You guys wouldn’t also plan to secretly establish a small cross-boundary channel like the Ghost Chi Clan, would you?!”

Zhao Xuanjing was momentarily startled, a hint of shock crossing his face.

He scrutinized Zhao Sheng very seriously, his expression strange as he said, “What nonsense are you thinking about? How could that be possible!”

Zhao Sheng assertively retorted, “You said it, the Ten Great Sects are almost coming to blows over the relics. If there weren’t immense benefits involved, why would the ten sects stir up such strife over a single relic?”

“Hiss!” Zhao Xuanjing inhaled sharply after hearing this.

They say the observer is clear, but the involved are confused!

He recalled all the changes over the past month.

“In the first half of the month, the other nine sects gradually acquiesced to our sect’s possession of the relics.

But when did the conflicts intensify?

That’s right, it must have been after the Supreme Sensing Sect arrived here that the attitudes of the other nine sects suddenly changed.

In the recent half a month, even more Nascent Soul Ancestors have rushed to this place.

It’s very strange and highly abnormal.

“Could it really be as Qingyang speculated… Hiss!”

Zhao Xuanjing was greatly shocked inside and swiftly changed his previous thoughts.

Coming back to his senses, he advised very seriously, “Qingyang, your speculation is baseless. Make sure you don’t tell anyone else, and forget about it at once, understood?”

“Mmm,” Zhao Sheng nodded. He also felt he might have been too sensitive.

Those Nascent Soul seniors definitely wouldn’t be so reckless!

Then, Zhao Xuanjing suddenly asked, “When do you plan to attempt Core Formation? How confident are you?’

Zhao Sheng smiled confidently, “I’m at least fifty percent sure right now. However, I don’t plan to rush my promotion.”

Zhao Xuanjing, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and quickly followed up, “Quick, tell me how you plan to do it. I thought I would have to wait several more years. It seems I underestimated you.”

Zhao Sheng immediately shared his hope to refine a top-grade Golden Core with Zhao Xuanjing.

“Difficult, very difficult! What if you fail? It might be better to play it safe.” Zhao Xuanjing shook his head, repeatedly persuading him to change his mind.

However, Zhao Sheng smiled silently, his gaze and expression very determined.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanjing sighed inwardly.

The young one in his family was good in all respects but too stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him to change it.

“Since you’re so confident, the family will certainly support you wholeheartedly.

However, I must remind you. Within twenty years, you must advance to Golden Core.

If not, abandon the earlier idea and follow the standard procedure steadily.”

Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, then quickly understood the implication of his words.

This meant that he needed to advance to Golden Core before the outbreak of the war between the two realms.

“Don’t worry, I won’t delay important matters!”

Zhao Xuanjing, who wasn’t as confident as Zhao Sheng, sighed lightly, “Alas, a storm is brewing, and plans must now be pushed forward.”

“Ancestor, are you planning to forcefully overcome the Nascent Soul Tribulation before the war?” Zhao Sheng asked in surprise.

“Indeed! Originally, it should have been after Xiao Qi’s next Dragon Transformation Tribulation, but times change. With the sudden shift in the situation, I have to advance it by sixty years!”

“Then… how likely is it?” Zhao Sheng asked apprehensively.

“Alas, initially, it was a 90% chance. Now it seems that having 60% to 70% is not bad.”@@novelbin@@

“Uh!” Zhao Sheng was at a loss for words and couldn’t help but think, “You really know how to cling to life!”

Other Perfect Golden Core cultivators were all trembling and striving with all their might for even a sliver of an opportunity for Nascent Soul Formation.

But you, my boy, still have the leisure to boast in front of our ancestors.

Whom did you learn this bad habit from?

Zhao Xuanjing made such a decision also influenced by Zhao Sheng.

With the imminent war between two realms, only by entering the Nascent Soul level could Zhao Xuanjing truly join this realm’s core circle, learn more secrets, and have the strength to protect the entire clan.

Similarly, only the strong have more chance to survive.

That’s why Zhao Xuanjing wanted Zhao Sheng to advance to Golden Core as soon as possible.

“Ah, I almost forgot,”

At that moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly remembered something and hastily took off a Storage Bag, handing it to Zhao Xuanjing.

“The Longevity Peaches have ripened. All the peaches are here. It’s better for you to keep them safe.”

Zhao Xuanjing accepted it without even looking and laughed, “With these treasures, our family can breathe easy for a few more years.”

“That’s true!” Zhao Sheng nodded in agreement.

“By the way, when can I return to Xinglong City?”

“In two more days, I’ll personally escort you down the mountain.”

“Good!”

In the blink of an eye, three days passed by quickly.

Under the earnest gaze of Zhao Daochuan, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xuanjing slowly sank into the rock wall, enveloped by yellow light.

Suddenly, a massive shadow that was as large as a mountain flashed and then disappeared from above the cave’s rock wall.

…

A month later, in the afternoon, Xinglong City was still thriving.

As the sun set in the west, the dim sunlight crossed over the towering city walls and left long shadows behind.

Just then, a purple streak of light suddenly tore through the twilight and swiftly descended into a mansion in Xinglong City like a meteor.

Within three days, the Zhao Family Elders issued a decree, “At any cost, collect Wood Yang Spirit Fire, Guiyang Spirit Fire, Water Mist Flame, Azure Core Spirit Flame, and Two-pole Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.”

Within just two days, this decree spread rapidly across a range of five thousand li, with countless people working day and night because of it.

At the same time, seven or eight exceedingly generous bounty tasks were posted on the Weaving Net trading platform.

On the tenth day after Zhao Sheng’s return to Xinglong City, a magnificent and splendid Cloud Tower suddenly ascended from Xinglong City and then sped off to the northeast, heading for Yunhuang Mountain Range tens of thousands of li away.

A Golden Core Family rallying its whole power for a certain goal is undoubtedly terrifying.

In less than a month, the Water Mist Flame and Earth Heart Spirit Flame were consecutively contributed by vassal forces.

Then, Dong Miaozhen returned from visiting her family, bringing the Green Night-blooming Cereus, Guiyang Spirit Fire, and a Golden Core Formation Pill worth a million.

Three months later, one of the bounty tasks was completed, and the Wood Yang Fire was quickly delivered to Zhao Sheng’s hands.

However, while the seven fires gathered easily, the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light proved elusive!

At that point, the initial smooth progress came to an abrupt halt, and Zhao Sheng took merely a year to refine the remaining five fires.

Yet, after waiting for two more years, he still had not found the Two-pole Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.

Even the True Immortal Zhao Xuanjing went so far as to ask his master, Dongyang Ancestor, to help, but to no avail.

The Two-pole Primordial Magnetic Divine Light is rarer than the spirit flames and can only be collected in a few specific Boundaries.

The northernmost part of Northern Cold Continent is also known as the Ancient Ice Plain; above the ice plain and outside the layer of Heavenly Gang Atmosphere, there’s a chance for a small amount of Primordial Magnetic Divine Light to form.

To the south of Central Continent is South Yan Continent, and further south from there is the Storm Ocean. Beyond the Storm Ocean at the far south is called the Eternal Silence Basin.

At the edge of the outer layer of the world, above the Eternal Silence Basin, a small amount of Primordial Magnetic Divine Light can also form.

Both of these specific regions are too unique, and only a Nascent Soul Ancestor can breach the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere to collect it, though often returning empty-handed.

Facing such a challenging situation, there wasn’t much Zhao Sheng could do but wait patiently.

However, while the Two-pole Primordial Magnetic Divine Light remained elusive, he suddenly received a piece of “terrible news.”
