Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1604: Chapter 864: Hunyuan Self-Transformation, One Qi Gives Birth to Yin Yang (Part 3)

Wherever it passed, the green bamboo transformed into powder, the flames absorbed the surrounding green bamboo, and it continuously swelled.

In the blink of an eye, it expanded from the size of a millstone into a “green sun” with a diameter of thirty feet.

It grew more restless and surging, constantly expanding outward, endlessly devouring the surrounding bamboo forest.

Soon, the bamboo forest within dozens of miles was entirely devoured by it, and it expanded to a mere hundred feet, looking like a small mountain from afar.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng’s figure flashed, appearing out of thin air above the “green sun”, with his right hand’s five fingers widely spread, reaching out remotely towards the “green sun” below.

With a rumbling sound, the “green sun” suddenly began to shrink rapidly, simultaneously rising quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous “green sun”, as big as a mountain, shrank to the size of a fist, quietly returning to Zhao Sheng’s palm.

The fist-sized light ball suddenly became substantive, emitting a dazzling light throughout, seemingly containing some extremely terrifying power of laws within.

Zhao Sheng’s right hand gradually closed inward, and his palm suddenly erupted with waves of pure and vigorous mystic light of magic power.

At the same moment, the heart light of will transformed into countless silk strings, invading the dazzling light ball in his palm.

In just a dozen breaths, the previously boundless power of mana had reduced by nearly eighty percent, and the heart light of will enveloping his body dimmed considerably.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng’s right hand finally completely closed, and the last trace of light was also covered by his fingers, unable to emit any more light.

A few breaths later, sweat appeared faintly on Zhao Sheng’s forehead, and he suddenly loosened his right hand lightly.

There appeared in his palm a green bean-sized, emerald-like transparent crystal grain.

It lay quietly in his palm, quietly emanating faint fluctuations of law.

If a Half-Immortal of the Void were present at this moment, they would certainly recognize this crystal as an extremely rare principle crystal at a glance.

…

In the early morning, the Heavenly Wave Lake was rippling with green waves, shrouded in mist.

At this time, a spirit boat suddenly flew from the horizon.

The spirit boat flew across several hundred miles and quietly landed on the lake’s surface, with an old man and a young man standing onboard.

The old man had a face radiant with health, a long blue beard reaching his waist, appearing kind and benevolent, seemingly a good person.

The younger man had a delicate appearance, looking slightly uneasy, none other than Zhao Qingwen, who had previously been saved by Zhao Sheng’s life.

The old man glanced at the vast lake surface, turned his head, and instructed the young man, “Qingwen, remember, when you meet your savior later, immediately fall to your knees and kowtow, making sure to kowtow twenty-seven times without rising. Understand?”

Zhao Qingwen trembled, replied in a low and meek voice, “Grandson understands.”

The long-bearded elder nodded slightly and immediately drove the spirit boat rapidly towards the depths of Heavenly Wave Lake.

A quarter of an hour later, the spirit boat quickly emerged from the mist, the surrounding lake surface was unobstructed, yet the trace of Hualong Island was nowhere to be seen.

The long-bearded elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, with some suspicion arising in his heart.

Unwilling to fail, he once again drove the spirit boat towards the depths of Heavenly Wave Lake.

After another quarter hour, the spirit boat emerged from the mist once more, the surrounding lake surface was vast and smooth, yet the shadow of Hualong Island was still unseen.

“This…” The long-bearded elder’s expression became somewhat gloomy, unconsciously stroking his beard with his right hand, uncertain of what to do.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qingwen cautiously said, “Ancestor Lord, perhaps we should return. It seems that esteemed elder doesn’t wish to meet us.”

Upon hearing this, the long-bearded elder immediately shouted angrily, “Silence! It’s merely some formations arranged on the periphery, which cannot stop my genuine intent to repay kindness. Wen’er, your disposition is too rash; if you do not change, you will never achieve greatness!”

Zhao Qingwen looked terrified, his whole body trembling with fear, hurriedly apologizing and repenting to Ancestor Lord.

Seeing his sincere remorseful appearance, the long-bearded elder transitioned from anger to delight, beginning to use rhetoric to encourage his grandson.

However… the long-bearded elder was unaware that since their entry into Heavenly Wave Lake, they had already been seen by countless hidden eyes.

After they repeatedly failed to enter the island, all was under the watchful surveillance of those with interest.
