Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

"Eh, what is that?"

Zhao Sheng's expression suddenly shifted, his gaze growing sharper.

He had just seen a sudden flash of light erupting from the high sky, very close to the edge of this realm.

At first, he thought it was a meteor, but as his attention focused on that extremely high edge of the Heavenly Curtain, he saw even more peculiar activities.

There, flashes of light burst out from time to time, as if someone was there battling or chasing after something.

Recalling that the Lingyuan Ancestor and Lingxu Ancestor were not here, Zhao Sheng's gaze suddenly became extremely deep.

As far as he knew, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had the capability to break through the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere and temporarily survive in the Outer Void.

"Could it be that those two are there now? And there are other Nascent Souls there too."

The situation was indeed as he had imagined.

At this moment, above Star God Island, clinging to the outer atmospheric edge of this realm, a mere hundred-mile area was gathered with nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Such a limited space of hundred miles, at this moment, was strictly divided into various areas big and small.

These Nascent Soul Ancestors, usually revered as Ancestors of Taoist Sects, were actually entrenched within their own territories, vigilantly guarding against others from crossing their borders, while striving to collect strands of the rare Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence.

A small blue ocean "floated" in the Void, having a mere diameter of two hundred zhang.

Ling Yuan Ancestor stood above this ocean holding a green fishing rod, his immense Divine Thought spread out, completely enveloping this two hundred zhang small miniature ocean.

Meanwhile, Lingxu Ancestor sank within the ocean, constantly consuming a great amount of Mana to maintain this Nascent Soul Domain.

This "ocean" was his Nascent Soul Domain, also belonging to the territory of the Spirit Clan.

At this moment, to the left of the Spirit Clan was an enormous iron-black octopus, its round head alone having a diameter of more than a hundred zhang, resembling a hill, with eight python-like tentacles clawing aggressively, occupying a space of two hundred thirty zhang.

To the right was a hundred zhang long gigantic four-clawed True Dragon, most of its body hidden within a cluster of Cloud Mist, within which lightning flashed and thunder boomed, and the dragon's roar persisted.

Yet, before and behind the Spirit Clan were a Blood Sea and a Sword Sea made up of thousands of Sword Lights.

"Thief, how dare you!"

Ling Yuan Ancestor suddenly bellowed angrily, a flash of Divine Light in his eyes, as his immense Divine Thought instantly transformed into an invisible hammer, vanishing in a flash.

Bang!

At that moment, a condensed Light Sword suddenly shot out from the Sword Sea, just as it was about to enter the ocean, it was instantly shattered into powder by the hammer of Divine Thought.

In the depths of the Sword Sea, the white-robed Yue Qinghan slowly retracted her gaze, no longer prodding the depths of Ling Yuan Ancestor's power.

Just one exchange had informed her that she was not yet a match for Ling Yuan Ancestor.

In the Blood Sea Domain, the red-haired, red-robed Li Wufeng with his bloody eyes suddenly burst into wild laughter.

The Blood Sea surged up with a blood wave, within which was wrapped a strand of "light" only three inches long.

This "light," formless and elusive, invisible and untouchable, was undetectable unless one had developed Divine Thought, let alone captured.

This three-inch strand of "light" was precisely the Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence, an extremely sought-after item by the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

It was formed from the Spiritual Energy of the Outer Void, extremely pure, much more so than the spiritual energy in top-grade Spirit Stones.

If the Spiritual Energy in the Tianzhu Realm was in particle form, then the Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence would manifest as "light waves" on the layer of Divine Thought.

Therefore, only Divine Thought could grasp it.

Just this requirement of Divine Thought excluded cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm.

Moreover, once the Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence was captured by a world, it would instantly collapse, dispersing the light waves into thousands of spiritual energy particles.

The Meteor Light Rain occurring below the Star Algae Sea was precisely because a large amount of Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence had been pulled into the Tianzhu Realm by the Star God Consciousness, ultimately collapsing into a "meteor" shower.

The Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence originated from the Outer Void, but its true source stemmed from the Void Realm.

It was the "Spiritual Energy" that escaped from the cracks in the Void Realm, aside from being extremely pure, some Mystic Crystals might still retain traces of Taoist Law Residue.

This Law Residue was a coveted treasure that Nascent Soul Ancestors yearned for in their dreams.

Through the Law Residue, one could continuously comprehend the Tao, and thus cross the threshold of Refining God and Returning to Void, advancing to become a Divinity Transformation True Monarch.

As for what the Void Realm is?

Void refers to Returning to Void, and Realm refers to the place of Returning to Void. In different worlds, the Void Realm is called differently.

For example, in the Taiyi Spirit Realm, the Void Realm is also known as the Nine Netherworld.

But in the Spirit Clan Ancestor Realm, the Void Realm is known as the Returning Ruins Realm.

Coming back to the point!

Li Wufeng cautiously drew the three-inch long Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence into his hand, probing into it with his Divine Thought. After a brief sensing, a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

This "light" was of Earth Element, but lacked any remnants of Law.

Though its value had greatly diminished, it was still more precious than top-grade Spirit Stones.

Li Wufeng quickly took out an egg-sized Earth Element Top-Grade Spirit Stone and sealed it inside the Spirit Stone.

This top-grade Spirit Stone resembled a piece of amber, amber-colored, and visible to the naked eye was a miniature vortex of spiritual energy inside, connected to a "Bright Pearl" at one end.

If in the Tianzhu Realm, a top-grade Spirit Stone would naturally absorb nature's spiritual energy to replenish the depleted spiritual energy.

There was an unconfirmed saying in the Cultivation World, claiming that cultivators initially comprehended the methods of cultivation from top-grade Spirit Stones.

This claim has been deeply believed by many cultivators since ancient times.

Conversely, another saying, "Dharma Transmission by Immortals," is even more widely believed.
