Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1309 708: Star God Revisited

"I am merely borrowing this array for a moment. There's no need for you to make a sound or be afraid!"

As these indifferent words reached the ears of the three, they suddenly discovered that the horrifying pressure had receded like a tide, and they could move their bodies again.

The three Nascent Soul elders looked at each other, hurriedly bowed and saluted, humbly saying things like how the juniors were discourteous and paying respects to the senior.

Zhao Sheng didn't pay the slightest attention to their words or actions, focusing all his attention on the Cross-border Transmission Array.

After observing for a moment, he nodded in satisfaction, and with a thought, he retrieved a Seven Star Ruyi from the Sumeru Space, then waved it to one of the array pillar tops.

He then released a thread of Divine Thought, which landed on the Seven Star Ruyi, and chanted the spell to activate the Formation.

In just one breath, the sixty-four crystal columns shone brilliantly, and the nature's spiritual energy within several hundred miles was all stirred, madly rushing toward the Cross-border Transmission Array, forming an enormous Spiritual Energy Giant Pillar that connected heaven and earth in the blink of an eye.

The many cultivators on the island were immediately alarmed by this change, seeing a series of tunneling lights rising from various parts of the island, all flying toward the rear mountain of the main peak, but all were isolated outside by an invisible barrier, unable to move even a step closer.

As time passed, a space-time vortex slowly gathered above the open ground in the center of the Array.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng's eyes sparkled, his heart quite excited.

Before long, the space-time vortex gradually stabilized, revealing a deep, chaotic, misty passage at its center.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, then suddenly took a step forward, his figure instantly transforming into a streak of flowing light, plunging into the vortex and disappearing without a trace.

The three Nascent Soul elders, seeing this, all heaved a sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of being unburdened.

At this moment, several tunneling lights broke through the barrier, and soon landed in front of the three of them. Then, a ruggedly bearded old man walked toward them briskly, loudly asking, "Mr. Zuo, who just activated the Cross-border Transmission Array?"

"Brother Chong, no need to ask! Just now, a reclusive master borrowed the local transmission array once. This person's cultivation is unfathomable, at least above the Divinity Transformation Realm. We, these small Nascent Soul cultivators, absolutely cannot afford to provoke him!"

"Above Divinity Transformation? No wonder just now..." The rugged bearded elder shuddered at the memory of the unimaginable overwhelming pressure and dared not continue questioning.

"All fellow Daoists are dismissed! Consider today's event as never having happened. It's imperative not to disclose it to outsiders. In my opinion, that master might return to this island in the future. It would be best for us to keep our mouths shut so as not to incur unnecessary disaster."

Among the three Nascent Soul elders, Qing Chi Ancestor was the most meticulous, hence he had thought early on about the possibility of the master returning and therefore repeatedly reminded the fellow Daoists present.

His reminder was very timely. All the Nascent Soul Ancestors present were startled into wakefulness, nodding in unison.

...

Before his eyes was a bizarre landscape, and Zhao Sheng felt a faint pressure enveloping his entire body. All around him, dazzling lights mesmerized him, as if he had transformed into a beam of light, traversing an endless sea of light.

This was a novel experience he had never encountered; he hadn't thought the process of cross-realm teleportation could be so wondrous. Time seemed to lose its meaning while the myriad space-time mysteries hidden behind this splendid sea of light slowly revealed their true face to him.

Regrettably, this process was too brief. Just as Zhao Sheng grasped a small part of the secrets of space-time distribution, he was flung out by an unknown formidable force.

After a bout of dizziness, he opened his eyes, looking around. Surrounding him were crystal-clear array pillars, while further away was a vast cave spanning hundreds of miles. In the center of the cave stood an imposing sky-reaching crystal tree, whose thick branches dangled countless crystal silks, swaying like seaweed in the wind.

The cave remained that underground cave, yet the Devil Crystal Tree had already grown so tall. Several crystal red fruits faintly appeared in the central canopy, evidently the rare and precious Primordial Spirit Fruits.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

At that moment, a chanting voice reached his ears, catching Zhao Sheng's attention.

Following the sound, Zhao Sheng saw a vigorous white-haired old Taoist standing outside the Great Array, looking at him with an expression of uncertainty, his right hand's veins bulging as he tightly gripped a Green Jade Dust Brush, the myriad red dust threads emitting a faint clear light.

"Little Taoist, is your surname Zhao? The Zhao of Southern Sky One?" Zhao Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, suddenly speaking meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old Taoist's wary expression vanished, replaced by great delight. He hastily clasped his hands in salute, saying, "Junior Zhao Yunchan, may I ask if you, Senior, are an elder from the Taisu Spiritual Realm?"

Zhao Sheng took out the Jade Token, showing it to the other party while smiling, "Ancestor Jing should already have informed you. Yes, I am indeed the one you've been expecting."

Upon personally seeing the ancestral Token, even the white-haired old Taoist with his profound composure couldn't help but tremble inwardly, followed by immense joy. He solemnly bowed again, respectfully saying, "Zhao Yunchan of the Yun generation of the Zhao Family, pays respect to Ancestor Xi! I wish Ancestor Xi endless longevity and an infinite immortal journey!"

"No need for formalities, rise!" Zhao Sheng waved his long sleeve, sending out a subtle undercurrent to gently lift him up.

Then he took out a pill bottle from his sleeve, placing it into the white-haired old Taoist's arms, saying, "You've worked hard! I have nothing special to gift, but in the pill bottle are Dragon Tiger Jade Xuan Pills I casually refined. Just one can save you sixty years of diligent cultivation. Today, I gift you three, as a small compensation from me."
