Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 458: Chapter 310 Dharma Name Sheng Long_2

At that moment, Zhao Sheng spoke indifferently. “I have heard that Sky Fox City is a place of exceptional beauty, unparalleled in the region. I would very much like to see it for myself.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Canmang, as if hearing celestial music, immediately bowed excitedly and said, “Rest assured, Primordial Venerable! Sky Fox City will surely not disappoint you!”

Sometime later, a gold and a black tunneling light sped toward the end of the sky…

…

As Zhao Sheng headed to Sky Fox City, in a majestic palace floating in the outer atmosphere of the Nether Night Realm, three radiant figures sat cross-legged. A massive circle surrounded them, with dazzling strange lights shooting out from their hands.

Among the three figures, one was a woman wearing a pink, splendid palace dress, with a graceful figure and an exceedingly beautiful face, her long, slender fox eyes exuding a thousand charms. However, her demeanor was as pure and cold as a fairy from the Nine Heavens.

Purity and allure blended perfectly in this woman, captivating the soul at a glance and making her unforgettable.

However, the two big shots sitting next to the woman did not spare her a second look.

One of them had unusually long limbs, a withered face, and wrinkled skin like tree bark, wearing a dark green long robe. His pupils were a deep, eerie green, emitting an extremely chilling and strange feeling.

The other was an old man in a dark-colored cloak. His facial features were unremarkable, but he had a blood-colored vertical pupil on his forehead, from which flames burned fiercely, intimidating all who saw it.

Every move of the three bore an immense pressure, clearly all were Great Sacrificial Rites from the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, the aura emitted by the woman in the pink dress was somewhat weaker than that of the Green Robed Old Monster and the Blood Pupil Ancestor.

In the middle of the three was an immensely complex Ancient Magic Array, from which a blood-colored light column rose, enveloping a slender white Jade Ruyi

This Jade Ruyi, only about a foot long, had countless Spiritual Texts emerging on its surface, engraved with seven Star Beads, emitting a faint starlight. The Ruyi glowed with a faint rosy light, like smoke and water, seemingly containing a mysterious power, clearly a very precious Strange Treasure.

The three individuals emitted pink, green, and red rays of light from their hands, enveloping the Jade Ruyi within, while collaborating with the ancient array on the ground, they continuously infused it into the white Ruyi, appearing to be refining it.

The faint starlight emitted from the Seven-star Treasure Bead in the Jade Ruyi effortlessly blocked the sacrificial refining magic light triggered by the three. Even under the joint refining of the three Nascent Soul Ancestors, they were completely unable to affect the Jade Ruyi.

Another four to five days passed, the starlight and rosy light on the Jade Ruyi reflecting each other, still appearing completely immovable.

Seeing this, all three faces showed a hint of impatience.

“The Seven Star Ruyi truly lives up to its reputation as a Strange Treasure from the Divine Ruins, combining the power of the three of us and still unable to overcome it,” the Green Robed Old Monster frowned and slowly stopped casting spells, his tone grave as he spoke, his voice harsh and grating like sawing wood.

The woman in the pink dress smiled slightly, simultaneously withdrawing her mana.

Seeing the other two cease, the Blood Pupil Ancestor’s eyes flashed a hint of displeasure, but his face remained expressionless. He waved his sleeve and suddenly stopped.

“Qingmu, why be anxious? Now that the Seven Star Ruyi is in our possession, and with the help of Fox Fairy, it should only be a matter of time before we refine this treasure and then we can head to the Divine Ruins,” the Blood Pupil Ancestor said with a slight smile.

“Indeed, as per our oath, as long as the two of us help you refine this treasure and you become the leader of the Netherworld God Sect. You must take us to the ruins of the Void Realm,” the woman in the pink dress, her eyes gleaming, replied with a light smile.

“Having made the oath, I certainly will not break my word. However, the merit of overthrowing the Fire Saber Tribe and slaying the Mountain Spirit of East Sunrise Peak is still insufficient for this old man to ascend to the position of Sect Leader. Unless two more Great Merits are achieved,” the Blood Pupil Ancestor said, glancing at Fox Fairy and the Green Robed Old Monster.

“While you say so, the three of us have been refining this treasure day and night for over three months now, still without seeing any results. If this continues, I will no longer partake. You should know, my clan has many major affairs that require my decision, unlike you, who enjoys such leisure,” the Green Robed Old Monster said mockingly.

The Green Robed Old Monster was the strongest of the Tree Charm Clan, not only powerful but also holding a position far superior to that of the Left Protector of the Netherworld God Sect, the Blood Pupil Ancestor.

The other person, Fox Fairy, was the founding ancestor of the Ghost Fox Clan, a very influential figure with absolute authority within her clan.

After hearing this, the Fox Fairy smiled secretly, while a hint of displeasure flickered across the face of the Blood Pupil Elder, who then burst into laughter, coaxing warmly,

“Qingmu, brother, do not be anxious, we have matters to discuss! I, too, am burning with impatience, but refining treasures cannot be rushed. If you wish to refine it quickly, both of you will need to put in more effort,” he said.

“It’s not that we haven’t been trying our best, brother Tong You are unaware. To breach Fire Saber City, my clan has suffered countless deaths and injuries. Now you wish for us to help you achieve merits, truly it’s a matter of willing spirit but exhausted strength!” Fox Fairy’s eyes flickered with a peculiar light, her face showing helplessness as if she had really suffered a great loss.

The Blood-eyed Elder, seeing the two behave this way, slightly furrowed his brows.

“So it seems, both of you want to back out now? Could it be that you no longer wish to go to Divine Ruins?” Tong You said coldly.

“Not at all, not at all! What I mean is to find one or two more helpers. Otherwise, who knows how long it will take to refine this treasure,” said the Green Robed Old Monster.

Upon hearing this, the Blood-eyed Elder, with an unchanged expression, looked toward Fox Fairy.

“The Divine Ruins are extremely dangerous. It would be excellent to bring a few more fellow Daoists at that time,” Fox Fairy said lightly, her beautiful eyes twinkling.

Seeing the two singing the same tune, a trace of unusual light flashed through the eyes of the Blood-eyed Elder. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, “Both fellow Daoists have a point, yet this matter requires careful and long-term planning. Helpers aren’t easily found. At the very least, we need someone whom we thoroughly know, preferably someone we can control, otherwise it will always be a hidden worry.”

“Heh heh! Naturally,” the Green Robed Old Monster nodded and let out a weird laugh.

Just then, a burst of spirit light suddenly flickered from within the sleeves of Fox Fairy.

Her eyebrows raised slightly, and her divine thought delved into the communication jade token at the bottom of her sleeve, then her expression revealed a look of surprise.

“Fellow Daoists, an urgent matter has come up in my clan, please excuse me for leaving first,” Fox Fairy suddenly said.

“Oh, what matter could be so urgent as to be more important than refining treasure? Feel free to share,” the Blood-eyed Elder immediately asked.

“Nothing serious, but well… the Nine Demon Continent has gained another fellow Daoist,” Fox Fairy said lightly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the man in the green robe and the elder in the gray robe both changed slightly.

There are but three or four dozen Nascent Souls in the Nine Demon Continent; the addition of another will certainly impact the situation of the continent.

“Fox Fairy, can you tell us which fellow Daoist has ascended?” asked Tong You, the Left Protector of Netherworld God Sect, who was most concerned about such matters, hence he asked first.

With a light laugh, Fox Fairy’s eyes twinkled as she said, “This person was originally a Loose Cultivator, and is now considered an Alchemy Master of the Fire Saber Tribe, his dharma name: Sheng Long.”

Upon hearing this, the Blood-eyed Elder’s face shifted between expressions.

After a while, he was the first to break the silence, asking emotionlessly, “What attitude does this person hold towards the destruction of the Fire Saber Tribe?”

“Heh, who knows? However, this person has now arrived at Sky Fox City. I am just about to go meet him,” she chuckled.

“Shall I accompany you?” he asked.

“Heh heh, I’m afraid not! I fear you might scare him away. What if you scare him off? Will you compensate me with an Alchemy Master?” Fox Fairy playfully refused with a coquettish laugh.

“Hmph, a master? Far from it!”

“Regardless, it’s only a matter of time. Maybe he will also be an excellent helper!”

After laughing, Fox Fairy’s skirt swirled, and suddenly, a vast expanse of pink brilliance blossomed at her feet.

“I’ll take my leave first!”

As her voice fell, the pink light spiraled up, transforming into a sphere of light that suddenly burst out of the palace, plunging like a long rainbow towards the earth below.
