Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1476: Chapter 798: Pangu Splits Heaven and Earth (Part 2)

Zhao Sheng heard this and his smile slightly faded, saying with a hint of regret, "This time, after all, we couldn’t achieve complete success. This Five Emotions Demon Fire originates from the hands of a Tribulation Crossing Venerable, and can use emotions as fuel. As long as emotions do not die, the fire persists; quite bizarre indeed. One day it might rise from the ashes, which will be very troublesome."

"Don’t panic. Once I return to the mountain gate and consult the scriptures in the library, I will surely find a way to dispel the Five Emotions Demon Fire," Zhao Xuanjing reassured.

Zhao Sheng nodded, then unexpectedly switched the topic, "To be frank, Jing Ancestor, I have reached Returning to Void Perfection, with no further advancement possible. I am now about to start preparing to create a Grotto Heaven. However, I still have many questions about how to create one. I hope Jing Ancestor will guide me generously."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing was both surprised and delighted, immediately taking out a Jade Scroll and sending it to Zhao Sheng’s hand out of thin air.

"The Jade Scroll records all of my insights, which I believe will be of great help to you. Moreover... instead of generalized talk, it’s better to experience it firsthand."

As he spoke, a bright yellow light wheel gradually rose behind Zhao Xuanjing’s head.

The light wheel spun endlessly, quietly manifesting a circular "hole" about a foot in size, with its opening emitting some bright rays, revealing a brand new world behind.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered slightly. He then nodded mildly, allowing himself to be enveloped by a beam of rays, lifting him into mid-air, and casting him into the Grotto Heaven light wheel.

When his vision blurred and he opened his eyes again, a majestic and towering giant peak soared into the clouds, suddenly appearing before his eyes.

This mountain peak was unbelievably vast, with a diameter of several thousand miles, towering above the earth like a giant pillar supporting the sky, occupying most of the Grotto Heaven space.

Upon first seeing this peak, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but show a few hints of astonishment, exclaiming, "Is this... Heavenly Pillar Mountain?!"

He was extremely familiar with Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and the resemblance of the mountain peak before his eyes to Heavenly Pillar Mountain exceeded seventy percent, at first glance almost like moving the Heavenly Pillar Mountain here.

Yet, the giant peak before him was sparsely planted with vegetation, with most of the soil and rocks exposed, looking very desolate.

"You’re correct, when I created this mountain, I intentionally borrowed the form of Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Back then, I governed Heavenly Pillar Mountain for thousands of years, exploring it thoroughly, so I could easily create this peak.

And this is precisely the crucial point I want to remind you of; when creating a Grotto Heaven, it’s best to choose a place you’re most familiar with and ’copy’ it over. This can greatly reduce the difficulty of the Creation of Heaven and Earth, plus it brings numerous benefits..."

Zhao Sheng released his Divine Thought, instantly covering a radius of a million miles, taking in everything into his heart.

Under the scope of Divine Thought, Earth Veins and Spirit Veins hidden deep within the ground gradually appeared, countless Earth Veins and Spirit Veins interweaving and stacking, faintly forming a massive dragon shape extending for thousands of miles.

The dragon’s body stretched all the way to the giant peak in the middle, winding upwards, and the dragon’s head reaching into the clouds, with no end in sight.

As the Divine Thought probed into the clouds, a myriad of stars met his eyes, each star slowly moving along some trajectory constructing a vast sky-covering net.

Zhao Sheng’s heart trembled, instantly recognizing that this myriad of stars was clearly a simplified version of the Celestial Star Battle Formation. The star net constructed by this formation could stabilize the Grotto Heaven and resist external dangers, making it an integrated defense and attack.

This Grotto Heaven was evidently newly established, with earth, water, wind, and fire initially set, and the Cave Heaven Law still shallow with many errors and omissions, frequently leading to disaster phenomena due to law conflicts.

The spirits within the Grotto Heaven were extremely sparse, and those who survived exhibited extraordinarily strong Life Force, with True Spirit Bloodline flowing within them. Most were of True Dragon Bloodline.

Even so, Zhao Sheng’s mind was agitated, spirit light surging in torrents, instantly giving birth to countless insights.

It must be said, speaking thousands of times is not as good as seeing it firsthand!

After viewing this Grotto Heaven, his confidence unexpectedly increased, feeling more assured about creating a Grotto Heaven by several degrees.

Zhao Xuanjing silently said nothing, instantly opening his spirit and merging into heaven and earth, while manipulating earth, water, wind, and fire, striving to simulate the Grotto Heaven, displaying the simulation process bit by bit for Zhao Sheng to see.

Thick clouds gathered, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning appeared, the earth shook violently, lands sank rivers emerged, life propagated and wilted... The natural evolution of millions of years sped up countless times within the Grotto Heaven...

Unknown how much time passed, Zhao Xuanjing was thoroughly exhausted, the light wheel behind his head had dimmed significantly.

He slowly retracted his spirit, just as the vast clouds suddenly became dead silent, lightning and thunder abruptly ceased, and violent storms calmed down.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng slowly calmed his Divine Thought, his face couldn’t help but reveal a relaxed smile.

...

Twenty years passed in a flash.

In a certain part of Divine Palace Heaven, a vividly clear, gigantic purple hand appeared out of nowhere and struck fiercely upon a thirty-mile floating island.

With a thunderous boom, the island shook violently, then split into pieces, with translucent Crystal Stones bursting out from the depths of the island.

Soon, a considerable amount of Thunder Light appeared out of nowhere, transforming into numerous thunder hands, grabbing all Principle Crystals, then flying backward to a certain location.

Zhao Sheng swept his long sleeves and collected seventeen or eighteen Principle Crystals within his sleeve.

"Still lacking, let’s proceed to the next location," Zhao Sheng murmured to himself, casually took a glance at a Jade Scroll, then his figure teleported several million miles away.

This was a Grotto Heaven relic site, densely packed with meteorites scattered in the Void, most of them having construction ruins, with countless dust-like Tao Spirit Mechanisms permeating the Void, occasionally combining due to similar attributes, gradually condensing into Law Crystals over long periods of time.

Zhao Sheng landed on a meteorite within the depths of Meteor Sea; strong Divine Thought swept across all directions, instantly enveloping a space of tens of thousands of miles.

As his mind moved, an abundance of Law Crystals simultaneously converged towards Zhao Sheng’s direction.

Before long, the accumulated Law Crystals within this Meteor Sea collected over many years were emptied.

Zhao Sheng didn’t pause, immediately teleporting away.

...

Ten more years passed.

In Divine Palace Heaven, above a mountain-like broken skeleton, millions of thunderbolts gathered into a sea, exploding with extreme dazzling light.

A giant ring, tens of miles in diameter, floated and sank within the deep thunder sea, exuding an indescribable terrifying aura.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in the center of the Five Thunder Ring, with chaos boiling behind his head, seemingly brewing something.

And outside of the thunder sea, Zhao Xuanjing was encircled by a True Dragon, holding a Mystic Yellow Giant Axe, even transforming into a giant a thousand zhang tall.

He fully released his Divine Thought, enveloping a radius of several million miles, vigilantly monitoring any abnormalities in the surroundings, ready to unleash the full power of an Integration Realm Great Power upon any intruders.

Unknowingly, the vast thunder sea suddenly paused; shortly afterward, the Five Thunder Ring softly hummed once, instantly resounding across the grand Void.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng’s crown emitted spirit light reaching the sky; an identical "Zhao Sheng" manifested, after smiling faintly, stepped into the chaos behind, slipping out of sight.

In an instant, the vast thunder sea erupted with millions of thunderbolts, racing into the chaos ceaselessly...

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanjing showed a very complex expression, concern, worry, joy, anticipation, and various thoughts intertwined.

...

"... Heavens and earth were chaotic like a chicken egg, and Pangu was born within. After eighteen thousand years, heaven and earth separated, with Yang Qing becoming heaven, and Yin Zhuo becoming earth... The sun rising by a zhang daily, the earth thickening by a zhang daily, and Pangu growing by a zhang daily. Thus, after eighteen thousand years, heaven reached unimaginable heights, earth reached unimaginable depths, and Pangu became exceptionally long..."

Among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, there has always been the tale of Pangu creating heaven and earth. Though the origins of the tale are untraceable, its connotations are infinitely profound.

The process of creating a Grotto Heaven is like the "Creation of Heaven and Earth" by Pangu!

After Zhao Sheng stepped into chaos, he suddenly arrived at an extremely narrow space, where an immense pressure inexplicably arose around him, seemingly intent on crushing this uninvited guest.

"Open!"

Zhao Sheng was well-prepared, calmly shouted lightly, his Primordial Spirit arising at the sound, Will Heart Light merging with Divine Thought, spontaneously generating infinite power, suddenly opening up a piece of heaven and earth.

"Rise, rise, rise..."

Oddly enough, with each shout, Zhao Sheng grew larger and the surrounding heaven and earth expanded along.

Simultaneously, Power of Primordial Spirit and Will Heart Light consumed rapidly, the Primordial Spirit Magically solidified and real gradually becoming transparent and blurred.
