Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1520: Chapter 822: Refusing to Refine the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl and Approaching Danger_2

Thinking like this, he first picked up the Heavenly Jade, then picked up the pitch-black meteorite and the Stone Sword.

“Then… see you next time!”

After putting away the treasures, Zhao Sheng cupped his hands toward the Stone Spirit and the black-robed monster, saying goodbye.

After speaking, the whole person disappeared out of thin air.

After Zhao Sheng left, the Stone Spirit suddenly stopped in place, and said gloomily: “Old bones, do you think that kid suspects us?”

“…” The black-robed monster was silent, his robe suddenly fell to the ground lightly, the actual person already unknown where to go.

At this moment, endless darkness surged in, instantly engulfing Inverted Mountain.

…

Above the sky at great heights, the endless Cloud Sea spread out, shimmering with golden light under the sunlight.

A silver-white giant boat skimmed across the Cloud Sea, speeding towards the horizon.

In the cabin at the top of the giant boat, the He Family Ancestor sat cross-legged on the Magic Platform, with Divine Thought already integrated into the control center of the boat.

At this moment, the detection array of the silver-white giant boat was fully activated, with invisible waves expanding out, covering seven or eight hundred miles of the surrounding void.

The giant boat sped along, flying for more than forty days without encountering any unexpected events.

Seeing that the Sky Rift Valley was only three days away, the He Family Ancestor slowly relaxed his tense mind.

This round trip not only went very smoothly but also earned a lot of merit.

Thinking of the countless treasures listed on the merit board, the heart of the He Family Ancestor was boiling hot, not helping but deciding to urge the juniors to speed up the mining pace upon returning.

While the He Family Ancestor was lost in thought, he was unaware that he was already being watched.

Above the Cloud Sea, the sky green as jade, the sunlight poured over Cloud Sky.

Under the cover of that sunlight, a bird, as if made of glazed material, suspended quietly overlooking the Cloud Sea below.

The bird’s eyes were crystal clear, seemingly a pair of dazzling gems.

As the silver-white giant boat sped along, its trajectory quietly fell into the bird’s view.

The glazed bird watched the silver-white giant boat fly quickly away and suddenly swooped down.

The next instant, a magical scene occurred.

The bird turned into a stream of light, silently merging into the sunlight, completely disappearing.

At the same moment, in a distant place in the Cloud Sea, a colossal creature suddenly leapt out from the clouds, surprisingly a Roc with azure wings and white feathers, its body as large as a mountain.

And atop the Roc’s head stood a young man with narrow eyes and an eagle-like nose, wearing a blue feather garment, his temperament cold.

Around him, seven or eight glazed mirrors revolved, each as large as a plate, clearly reflecting scenes from thousands of miles away.

In one of the glazed mirrors, a silver-white giant boat, a thousand feet long, was vividly presented.

“Hehe, another little mouse discovered. Aurora, keep close to it! I want to know this little mouse’s lair.”

As the words fell, a crisp bird call suddenly came from that glazed mirror: “Chirp chirp, as you command, master!”

When the He Family Ancestor returned joyfully to the Heavenly Rift Valley, he had no idea that a catastrophe was approaching.

…

Southwest of the Heavenly Rift Valley.

The cliff walls were rugged, nearly a thousand feet above the valley floor, recessed into a large area, forming a natural mountain hollow.

At the deepest part of the hollow wall, a heavy stone door was embedded.

Not long after, the stone door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Sheng, holding a red-brown long sword, walked out from inside.

He stepped up to a piece of protruding green stone, waved his right hand, and the long sword swept out horizontally.

However, before the long sword touched the green stone, the green stone in front mysteriously collapsed, instantly turning into a pile of powder.

Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrow, his right hand suddenly relaxed, and the long sword plummeted downward.

A marvelous scene occurred again.

At the moment the long sword touched the ground, the ground abruptly cracked open, and the long sword passed through the crack, directly sinking into the depths.

A thought crossed his mind, Divine Sense instantly probed into it, in his perception seeing the soil and rocks retreating as the sword passed, automatically forming a cavity for the sword to travel through.

Zhao Sheng showed a hint of surprise on his face, Divine Thought quietly wrapped around the stone long sword, a thought capturing it back.

In the blink of an eye, the long sword flew out from the ground, obediently landing in his hand.

Zhao Sheng examined the stone sword in his hand, Divine Thought scanned the sword body inch by inch, but found no abnormalities.

This stone sword had no refining marks, seemingly formed naturally.

Furthermore, he couldn’t recognize the stone sword’s material with his eye power.

It seemed like a piece of stone, yet appeared to be the bane of all soil and rock.

If not witnessed firsthand, Zhao Sheng found it hard to imagine such an existence defying common sense in this world.

The more he examined this sword, the more he felt it extraordinary.

Thinking back to previous events, he vaguely sensed a premonition, the Stone Spirit’s intent was not simple, it seemed to intentionally hand over this stone sword to him.

Zhao Sheng temporarily couldn’t figure out why the other side did this, but it didn’t matter.

No matter the opponent’s purpose, he would know sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng lightly swung the stone sword, the sword wind swept across the nearby stone wall.

The stone wall silently collapsed downward, forming a gap over two yards deep and seven or eight yards long, with edges smooth as if cut like tofu.

Zhao Sheng nodded with satisfaction, his figure flashed, turning into a tunneling light, instantly miles away.

…

Three days later, the silver-white giant boat descended from the sky, quickly rushing into the Heavenly Rift Valley, disappearing.

Moments later, the He Family Ancestor returned to the base smoothly. Once back, he immediately sent messages to the other two families.

Before long, Zhao Zhuanggong, Zhao Yongxian, He Chong, Wei Shu, and the senior leaders of the three families hurried back to the base.

After a short meeting, Zhao, He, and Wei Families decided on “division of resources.”

The Zhao Family centered on the Three Yin Evil Acupoints, occupying the middle section of the Heavenly Rift Valley.

The He Family took the southern end of the Heavenly Rift Valley, preparing to build a fortress city at that huge gap.

The Wei Family, being the weakest, had to pick the resource-poor northern area.

Of course, “poor” was only relative, the cultivation resources richness in the northern part of the Heavenly Rift Valley were greater than the Wei Family’s ancestral land.

In just ten days, He and Wei Families successively withdrew from the base, heading south and north.

During this time, Zhao Zhuanggong allocated a batch of manpower, beginning to reinforce the base, while others accelerated mining.

Zhao Sheng, Master of Hundred Arts, not only responsible for refining ores, also took an interest in the wings of the Two-winged Giant Lizard.

Apart from refining ores, he allocated a portion of his Heart Power to craft the wings of some Golden Core Level giant lizards into unique sword wings.

Sword Wings are a special type of flying sword Magical Treasure, combining the advantages of flying swords and tunneling.

In a moment of enthusiasm, Zhao Sheng even incorporated the sword escape Divine Skills into the Sword Wings.

Each sword feather not only represents a flying sword but also signifies a sword escape Divine Skill.

With the Sword Wings enhancement, even a Golden Core Master could escape unscathed from a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s pursuit.

As soon as the Sword Wings were crafted, they immediately caused a rush among Zhao Yongxian and Master Ming Yue.

Even Zhao Zhuanggong rarely appeared and personally came to negotiate, his attitude very cordial.

Zhao Sheng understood the intentions and readily agreed. However, the Sword Wings could be handed over only if certain demands were met.

Such as Top-grade Spirit Stones, Pocket World Jade, Ten-thousand-year-old Elixirs, Wind Cores… and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Regarding this, Zhao Zhuanggong was exceedingly generous, almost without bargaining, directly agreeing.

He knows better than anyone how important the role of a Refining Master is to the family during the Outer Domain pioneering period.

Before long, Zhao Family’s several Golden Core Masters each received a top-grade Sword Wing, fondly cherished, eagerly entering closed practice for refining.

Just as Zhao Family Golden Core Masters were obsessively refining treasures,

With the Sword Wings enhancement, even a Golden Core Master could escape unscathed from a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s pursuit.

As soon as the Sword Wings were crafted, they immediately caused a rush among Zhao Yongxian and Master Ming Yue.

Even Zhao Zhuanggong rarely appeared and personally came to negotiate, his attitude very cordial.
