Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1309 708: Star God Revisited

"I am only temporarily utilizing this array. There is no need for you to utter a sound or experience fear!"

As these detached words reached the trio's ears, they abruptly realized that the terrifying pressure had receded like an ebbing tide, allowing them to regain control of their bodies.

The three Nascent Soul Elders exchanged glances, then promptly bowed and saluted, humbly declaring their junior status and expressing their respect to the senior.

Zhao Sheng paid no heed to their statements or actions, instead focusing his entire concentration on the Cross-border Transmission Array.

After a brief inspection, he nodded with satisfaction. With a mental command, he retrieved a Seven Star Ruyi from his Sumeru Space, then gestured with it towards one of the array pillar tops.

He then released a wisp of Divine Thought, which settled upon the Seven Star Ruyi, and proceeded to chant the activation spell for the Formation.

In mere moments, the sixty-four crystal columns blazed with brilliance. The surrounding nature's spiritual energy, spanning several hundred miles, was violently agitated, surging madly towards the Cross-border Transmission Array, instantly forming an enormous Spiritual Energy Giant Pillar that connected heaven and earth.

Numerous cultivators on the island were immediately alarmed by this sudden development. A series of tunneling lights were observed ascending from various parts of the island, all converging towards the main peak's rear mountain. However, an invisible barrier isolated them, preventing them from advancing even a single step closer.

As time elapsed, a space-time vortex gradually coalesced above the open ground at the Array's core.

Witnessing this phenomenon, Zhao Sheng's eyes gleamed with evident excitement.

Before long, the space-time vortex stabilized, revealing a deep, chaotic, and misty passage at its center.

Zhao Sheng offered a slight smile, then suddenly stepped forward. His form instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, plunging into the vortex and vanishing without a trace.

The three Nascent Soul Elders, upon seeing this, collectively exhaled in relief, their expressions reflecting a sense of liberation.

At this juncture, several tunneling lights breached the barrier and quickly landed before the trio. Subsequently, a ruggedly bearded old man approached briskly, loudly inquiring, "Mr. Zuo, who just activated the Cross-border Transmission Array?"

"Brother Chong, no need to ask! Just moments ago, a reclusive master made use of the local transmission array. This individual's Cultivation is unfathomable, certainly beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm. We, mere Nascent Soul cultivators, absolutely cannot afford to provoke him!"

"Above Divinity Transformation? No wonder just now..." The rugged bearded Elder shivered, recalling the unimaginable overwhelming pressure, and dared not pursue further questioning.

"All fellow Daoists are dismissed! Let us consider today's incident as if it never occurred. It is crucial not to divulge this to outsiders. In my estimation, that master might return to this island in the future. It would be prudent for us to remain silent, lest we invite unnecessary calamity."

Among the three Nascent Soul Elders, Qing Chi Ancestor possessed the most meticulous mind. Thus, he had already contemplated the master's potential return and therefore repeatedly cautioned the assembled fellow Daoists.

His reminder proved exceptionally timely. All the present Nascent Soul Ancestors were jolted into awareness, nodding in unanimous agreement.

...

Before his eyes lay a peculiar landscape, and Zhao Sheng sensed a subtle pressure enveloping his entire being. Dazzling lights surrounded him, as if he had transformed into a beam of light, traversing an endless sea of illumination.

This was an unprecedented and novel experience; he had not imagined that the process of cross-realm teleportation could be so marvelous. Time seemed to lose its meaning while the myriad space-time mysteries concealed within this magnificent sea of light slowly unveiled their true nature to him.

Regrettably, this process was exceedingly brief. Just as Zhao Sheng began to comprehend a small fraction of the secrets of space-time distribution, an unknown formidable force ejected him.

After a momentary disorientation, he opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. Crystal-clear array pillars encircled him, while beyond them stretched a vast cave spanning hundreds of miles. Dominating the cave's center stood an imposing, sky-reaching crystal tree, its thick branches adorned with countless crystal silks that swayed like seaweed in the breeze.

The cave remained the same underground cavern, yet the Devil Crystal Tree had grown to such a towering height. Several crystal-red fruits faintly appeared within its central canopy, unequivocally the rare and precious Primordial Spirit Fruits.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

At that moment, a chanting voice reached his ears, capturing Zhao Sheng's attention.

Following the sound, Zhao Sheng observed a vibrant, white-haired old Taoist standing outside the Great Array, regarding him with an uncertain expression. The veins on his right hand bulged as he tightly clutched a Green Jade Dust Brush, its myriad red dust threads emitting a faint clear light.

"Little Taoist, is your surname Zhao? The Zhao of Southern Sky One?" Zhao Sheng subtly raised an eyebrow, then spoke with a knowing tone.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old Taoist's wary expression vanished, replaced by profound delight. He hastily clasped his hands in salute, inquiring, "Junior Zhao Yunchan, may I ask if you, Senior, are an Elder from the Taisu Spiritual Realm?"

Zhao Sheng produced the Jade Token, displaying it to the other party with a smile, "Ancestor Jing should have already informed you. Yes, I am indeed the one you've been expecting."

Upon personally witnessing the ancestral Token, even the white-haired old Taoist, despite his deep composure, could not help but tremble inwardly, followed by immense joy. He solemnly bowed once more, respectfully stating, "Zhao Yunchan of the Yun generation of the Zhao Family, pays respect to Ancestor Xi! I wish Ancestor Xi endless longevity and an infinite immortal journey!"

"No need for formalities, rise!" Zhao Sheng waved his long sleeve, sending out a subtle undercurrent to gently lift him.

He then retrieved a pill bottle from his sleeve, placing it into the white-haired old Taoist's arms, saying, "You have toiled diligently! I have nothing extraordinary to bestow, but within this pill bottle are Dragon Tiger Jade Xuan Pills I casually refined. Just one can save you sixty years of diligent Cultivation. Today, I gift you three, as a small token of my appreciation."
