Chapter 223 Heaven and Earth Phenomenon_2
Watching the beauty who walked in, Zhao Sheng collected his thoughts, his face calm and undisturbed.
"Taoist Zhao, we parted years ago; I never thought we would meet again in the Spirit Palace!" Wang Yingling's tone was very emotional, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of resentment in her words.
"Heh heh! Zhao also did not expect that after hiding for decades, you people would eventually find him," Zhao Sheng shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
Wang Yingling's Spiritual Eyes shimmered as she scrutinized Zhao Sheng intently.
At that moment, she faintly sensed that his strength was not low; he had at least reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
The speed of Zhao Sheng's cultivation progression far exceeded Wang Yingling's imagination.
Upon thinking of the pure bloodline within his body, she felt a wave of regret.
"If only I had known this day would come, why did you have to run away back then! If you had returned with me, you might have already advanced to Golden Core by now."
"Those who know me think I worry too much; those who do not know me wonder what I desire! Even if I told you, you would not understand," Zhao Sheng said, too lazy to argue with her about right and wrong.
Wang Yingling was about to retort. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
However, at that moment, two graceful figures arrived beside them.
"Hey, Wang, you're too impatient. You can't have him all to yourself!"
"Yes! I've wanted to meet this young man for a long time. My name is Wang Yingyu. Young man, what's your name?"
Zhao Sheng looked at the two stunningly beautiful women from the Spirit Clan in front of him, one tall and seductive, the other petite and delicately cute.
When it comes to beauty, the Spirit Clan dares to claim first place, and no one in the world dares to claim second.
There are no ugly people in the Spirit Clan!
This saying turned out to be true.
Seeing the two despicable people who had arrived, Wang Yingling's heart itched with hatred.
She knew well that this man had become a coveted prize, and the two in front of her were just the beginning.
Once they returned to the Spiritual Abyss, clan sisters and aunts would swarm him, everyone eager to bear his children.
Supremacy of the Spirit Clan Bloodline!
This notion, albeit somewhat extremist, had deeply penetrated the hearts of the Spirit Clan people.
Watching the two who deliberately "flaunted their charms," Wang Yingling's face darkened as she snapped, "You two are enough! Don't disgrace our Spirit Clan."
"Hehe! What did you say? I don't understand," the cute girl pretended to be naive, her voice overly sweet and brimming with childishness.
Zhao Sheng heard this, and goosebumps instantly rose on his skin.
Seeing that this place had become the center of attention, he immediately operated his Spiritual Power silently, turning two talismans in his sleeves to ash.
In an instant, his figure blurred and he suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Unable to confront them, he had logged off and "invisible."
A moment later, Zhao Sheng stood on the edge of a turtle shell, gazing at the sea, occasionally feeling a dozen or so almost imperceptible gazes behind him.
He knew these gazes all came from Spirit Clan Golden Core experts.
Mere Concentrating God Talisman and Invisibility Talisman could hardly escape their detection.
However, becoming invisible was not the goal; conveying his stance was what mattered most.
Since he showed an intention to distance himself, the Golden Core experts of the Spirit Clan would not intentionally expose him.
Zhao Sheng surveyed his surroundings; several areas on the sea surface were shrouded in mist, light clusters, and array barriers.
He was a bit surprised but also understood internally.
Many powers had indeed participated in this grand gathering,
Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky and saw a majestic, enormous blue Cloud Boat, even larger than the Mountain Shifting Cloud Boat, hovering one hundred feet in the air.
The island-sized hull cast a large shadow on the sea surface under the sunlight.
With the Vast Sect already here, he wondered if the Elixir Cauldron Sect had sent people too?
...
Time trickled by, and the Golden Crow gradually sunk below the sea surface, while the Jade Rabbit peeked out a bit from the horizon.
As night approached, suddenly, two beams of light broke through the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere like two meteors, descending rapidly toward the Spirit Palace like lightning.
Zhao Sheng sensed it the moment he turned his head, feeling two overwhelming presences descending from the sky.
The lights flashed and disappeared, revealing the Ling Yuan Ancestor and Ling Xu Ancestor standing on the square.
Zhao Sheng's mind stirred, secretly thinking, "Could it be starting now?"
With that thought, he lightly tapped his foot, flashing back to the square and standing behind the crowd.
Ling Yuan Ancestor, his lean face solemn and serene, looked at his descendants and saw a fiery look in their eyes. He spoke up, "The Star God will awaken tonight!"
These words had an immediate tense atmosphere on the square.
At that moment, Lingxu Ancestor instructed, "In a while, all of you will board the Sea Crossing Crab to go inside. The Great Elder and I cannot accompany you inside. Once inside, all matters will be directed by the three kings. The old rules apply, no provoking others, and no fighting with anyone! Anyone who breaks these rules will be confined to the Ice Abyss Cave for life after the matter. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Rest assured, Ancestor!"
"Ancestor, we will never fall for the Human Clan's tricks!"
Listening to everyone's promises, Zhao Sheng had a profound realization.
In an environment crowded with powerful beings, conflict could easily spark a "world war."
It was evident that the combined strength of the Spirit Clan and other Alien Races was weaker than that of the Human Clan.
This was why they feared encountering a perilous situation of being attacked by all under heaven.
...
When the moon was high in the sky,
Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged on the edge of the Sea Crossing Crab's shell, keeping some distance from the Spirit Clan and a group of Alien Race warriors.
This made him appear aloof and somewhat out of place.
However, at this moment, no one cared about this minor detail.
Zhao Sheng, along with everyone else, was currently closing his eyes and concentrating, practicing their breathing to ensure their mental state remained at its peak.
In just half a day's time, the concentration of spiritual energy around them had risen significantly, almost reaching the level of a Fourth Order Spiritual Vein Land.
To know, the highest spiritual vein in the Tianzhu Realm was only Fifth Rank and Fourth Order Spiritual Veins were rare in the world; even the spirit veins at the Elixir Cauldron Sect's gate were only top-tier third-tier, not even comparable to the Fourth Order.
Right now, the Star God had not yet fully awakened, but the tidal wave of spiritual energy was already surging like a tsunami and landslides, sweeping in waves from heaven and earth, roaring past and undulating in the void, constantly vibrating.
As if sensing the impending arrival of some unimaginable great consciousness, Zhao Sheng slowly opened his eyes,
and saw that the entire sea surface was covered with thick seaweed, looking like a carpet of various colors.
Red algae, green algae, yellow algae...all the seaweeds of the Star Algae Sea were displayed here.
Zhao Sheng could distinctly sense that endless spiritual energy was overflowing from this vast ocean of seaweed.
The sea surface slowly undulated, as if there was an indescribable colossal creature breathing underneath.
At this time, Zhao Sheng suddenly had a realization and looked up at the starry sky.
He saw a shockingly extreme vision that suddenly fell into his sight.
Right then, the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere above his head seemed like a thick curtain being torn apart from the middle by a pair of invisible enormous hands.
The Nine Layers of Heavenly Gang were torn apart layer by layer, the atmosphere rolled away like waves towards the horizon, revealing a patch of clear, transparent starry sky.
The myriad stars shone brightly, like mysterious eyes overlooking all the beings of heaven and earth.
Zhao Sheng suddenly had an illusion, feeling the starry sky so close that it seemed he could pluck the stars from the heavens with his hand.
At that moment, an indescribable heaviness fell from the void, resembling the strange calm before a great battle begins.
Zhao Sheng's pupils slightly contracted, when suddenly he saw the myriad stars shine brightly, and then countless "meteors" suddenly fell from the sky.
These meteors were olive-shaped, like clusters of colorful flowing lights with long tails, piercing through the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere and falling onto the Star Algae Sea.
In an instant, the whole sky began to "rain light."
The moment these mysterious meteors hit the sea surface, they exploded like fireworks, briefly dazzling before vanishing without a trace.
Zhao Sheng fully released his Divine Sense, as meteors fell within its range.
Then, he was shocked to discover that these meteors were exceptionally pure spiritual energy.
The purity of these energy clusters was unprecedented, perhaps even surpassing the spiritual energy within the legendary top-grade Spirit Stones.
Zhao Sheng's expression changed. Just as he thought about collecting this spiritual energy, he realized that everyone else was sitting quietly, with no one making a move.
Upon reflexion, he decided to give up on his initial idea.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a subtle change in the surrounding spiritual energy environment; the slight increase in concentration was secondary.
The most crucial aspect was that the spiritual energy particles became more "lively" than ever before, as if the whole heaven and earth were cheering and leaping in joy, welcoming the arrival of a newcomer.
Before the meteors appeared, the spiritual energy particles were like a group of mature, even aging middle-aged people.
But now, they were like a group of lively children, or newly born "infant spirits."
Zhao Sheng, having realized this, suspected that these meteor energy clusters must have indeed come from beyond the heavens, falling into this world and merging with heaven and earth.
Only a being as mysterious as the Star God could produce such a grand spectacle with such enormous hands.
Zhao Sheng looked up, admiring the awe-inspiring celestial phenomenon that occurred once in a century.
