Chapter 1683
Star Sea Ancestor's Perfect Nascent Soul Transformation and Various Anomalies
Click! ! !
Ultimately, the bottleneck was broken.
Immediately afterwards, the aura of the Star Sea Ancestor underwent some special changes, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
A massive cloud of calamity appeared in the sky above Demon Rock Mountain.
It contains countless terrifying tiny lightning snakes that pulsate within, making it exceptionally awe-inspiring.
Moreover, after a long period of preparation, the first bolt of tribulation lightning that fell was comparable to a casual strike from an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The subsequent tribulation lightning became increasingly intense.
Even with his formidable strength and several high-grade fifth-tier spiritual treasures, the Star Sea Ancestor was gradually finding it difficult to cope.
"This tribulation lightning at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage is indeed as extraordinary as described in the ancient texts."
"Looks like we'll have to resort to that move."
Ancestor Xinghai looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, his brows furrowed with solemnity.
In addition, he had long ago learned from some ancient books about the power of the tribulation lightning at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, given his relatively stable temperament, he was prepared.
Immediately, he took out over a hundred fifth-tier talismans, several extremely special fifth-tier disposable flying swords, and the Star Sea Pavilion's sect-guarding spirit beast, the Sea Cloud Devouring Turtle.
That sea cloud swallowing turtle was about ten feet in size.
Its back has an incredibly thick blue shell, and its entire body is covered with thick, fish-scale-like scales, as if it were wearing a full suit of armor, with no weak points.
Moreover, due to its excellent qualities, and the fact that Xinghai Pavilion has acquired many resources in the Tianhe Realm in recent years.
Under the nurturing of Xinghai Pavilion, he gradually reached the mid-level of the fifth rank, which was more than enough for him to be recognized.
The Star Sea Ancestor valued it highly, and often kept it by his side as a guardian spirit beast.
Ancestor Xinghai also spent some time comprehending a special beast-taming method and refined the Sea Cloud Devouring Turtle into his own natal spirit beast.
He can then communicate with him on a deeper level.
This would make it easier for him to command the old tortoise in battle.
And it was precisely because of this that the old tortoise retained many of the auras of the Star Sea Ancestor.
Its appearance beside the Star Sea Ancestor did not trigger the repulsion of the tribulation clouds in the sky.
"Ancestor Turtle, please lend me a hand."
At this moment, the Star Sea Ancestor called out to the old tortoise.
Although the old tortoise was extremely wary of the powerful tribulation lightning.
However, the matter of the tribulation lightning was of utmost importance to the Star Sea Ancestor.
Moreover, its ability to reach the mid-grade fifth rank over the years is largely thanks to the support of Ancestor Xinghai.
Furthermore, if Ancestor Xinghai can advance even further, it's entirely possible that, with his support, he could also reach an even higher level in the future.
Under these circumstances, the old tortoise gritted his teeth, braced himself, and agreed to help.
Roar!
With a roar, the thick tortoise shell on its back suddenly flashed with spiritual light, spreading an aura no weaker than a mid-grade fifth-tier defensive spiritual treasure.
The tortoise shell is both part of its body and its greatest asset. It has been nurtured by its demonic power for many years, and its defensive power is even stronger than that of a defensive spiritual treasure of the same level.
Soon, the tortoise shell erected an incredibly thick defensive light barrier, enveloping both the tortoise and the Star Sea Ancestor.
In addition, it also unleashed its innate "Great Divine Power of Swallowing Clouds in the Sea and Sky".
This method is its bloodline technique, which can quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it for its own use, replenishing the rapidly depleted spiritual power. It is an excellent means of fighting a protracted war.
In an instant, the spiritual energy of the entire Demon Rock Mountain and the surrounding area was stirred up, turning into a vast torrent of spiritual energy that surged toward the Sea Cloud Swallowing Turtle.
The belly of the Sea Cloud Devouring Turtle was like a bottomless pit, absorbing as much spiritual energy as came in.
Gradually, even the defensive light barrier it erected couldn't withstand the tribulation lightning of heaven and earth, and was soon blasted open with cracks.
It can also quickly repair itself by relying on its powerful demonic energy.
Its defensive abilities have also improved significantly. In fact, in terms of defense alone, it is probably comparable to many ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul experts, which is enough to provide a lot of help to the current Star Sea Ancestor.
As for the special fifth-tier flying swords that the Star Sea Ancestor previously offered up, they were crafted by him using his own swordsmanship skills and special spiritual materials.
It contains a powerful Star Sea Sword Intent.
Once unleashed, its power is comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The only drawback is that it is too difficult to refine. Even the Star Sea Ancestor has not been able to refine many over the years.
As for the hundred fifth-tier talismans, they were obtained by the Star Sea Ancestor and the Star Sea Pavilion, which had high-level talisman masters, from the Ling Clan and the Four Immortals Alliance through huge profits. Their power was quite good.
In addition, due to their large quantity, they shattered many of the incoming tribulation lightning bolts when they were unleashed along with the talismans.
Most importantly, the Star Sea Ancestor then set up a special array plate.
"Array up!"
As he raised his hand and cast a spell into it, the array plate flashed with spiritual light and emitted a special spiritual energy fluctuation.
hum! ! !
The next moment, countless array patterns emerged in Demon Rock Mountain and another high-level spiritual land within the secret realm, forming two powerful fifth-order superior arrays.
Moreover, they merged into one, forming a unique fusion array that was nearly at the fifth-tier top-grade level.
And it is the special sect-protecting formation left behind by the Vajra Demon Rock Sect, the "Vajra Demon Rock Formation".
It is composed of two formations: the "Vajra Formation" and the "Demon Rock Formation".
In addition, although the Vajra Demon Rock Sect had previously placed them in the secret realm and the Vajra Demon Rock Mountain Range, the base of the Demon Sect in the outside world, this was also to protect those two places at the same time.
However, with the Demon Sect being destroyed by the Cangxuan lineage, the Demon Sect's territory was eventually divided up among the various forces of the Cangxuan lineage.
The two formations were then purchased by the Ling family for a large profit, and the Ling family only obtained the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm.
The Ling family then arranged all of them within the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm.
Moreover, the Ling family spent a huge amount of money to seek help from Elder Xingqing and many high-level array masters such as Ling Penglin to recast them and transform them into righteous arrays.
They also repaired the damage they had sustained in the previous battle.
In this way, their power is restored to its peak, and even righteous cultivators can control them with ease.
Previously, in order to increase his chances of breaking through to the next level, the Star Sea Ancestor had specifically borrowed it.
Moreover, the Star Sea Ancestor was exceptionally talented and also cultivated the art of formations. As he successively unleashed several techniques to amplify the power of the formation within the Vajra Demon Rock Formation, its power immediately increased even further.
In the end, it not only condensed an incredibly thick defensive light barrier, but also conjured a powerful phantom of a Vajra Demon Rock Giant.
And like a pillar supporting the sky, it stood in front of the Star Sea Ancestor, shielding him from the tribulation lightning.
With the help of various means, the Star Sea Ancestor gradually gained a foothold when facing the remaining powerful tribulation lightning.
About half a day later.
As the Star Sea Ancestor withstood the final tribulation lightning, the remaining power of the tribulation clouds in the sky was exhausted. After a special drop of sweet dew fell, the clouds dissipated on their own.
"Lu Lai!"
Ancestor Xinghai raised his hand and used his spiritual power to construct a giant palm, collecting all the nectar and consuming it in succession.
Because of the special effects of that nectar, his entire body underwent a transformation.
His spiritual sense and cultivation level became more robust, and his meridians became more resilient...
His aura surged, eventually reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
'This level of skill is truly formidable; I'm afraid I'm at least three or four times stronger than before.'
"With this, and the assistance of powerful figures like Peng Yun, perhaps it won't be long before my Cangxuan lineage rises to the ranks of the top forces in the Heavenly River Realm."
'And they possess a certain degree of influence, even the opportunity to divide up the vast profits of the Heavenly River Realm.'
"And when that time comes, both the Cangxuan lineage and the Star Sea Pavilion behind me will receive a boost, thus reaching a higher level."
As the Star Sea Ancestor felt the benefits of this improvement in his cultivation, his brows were filled with brilliance.
He has served as the master of Xinghai Pavilion for thousands of years. During this time, entrusted by his predecessors, he has devoted countless efforts to the development of Xinghai Pavilion.
He had a deep affection for Xinghai Pavilion.
He desperately wanted to promote the Star Sea Pavilion and even cultivate it to a level comparable to the Radiant Star Immortal Sect.
In addition, although the Cangxuan lineage is not his exclusive force, he has some feelings for the Cangxuan lineage.
Furthermore, the other forces within the Cangxuan lineage are not weak either.
Moreover, although a fully-fledged Nascent Soul cultivator is incredibly powerful, he has virtually no equal in the entire Heavenly River Realm when facing opponents one-on-one.
However, there are many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Heavenly River Realm, and the spiritual objects are diverse. Even if one has reached the peak of Nascent Soul cultivation, there is still a risk of perishing.
For example, the Yinming Demon Sect's Nascent Soul Perfection Old Demon was killed by the Cangxuan lineage through various means.
Moreover, at that time, the Cangxuan lineage did not have any Nascent Soul Perfection experts in charge; they only had some Nascent Soul early, middle, and late stage experts in charge, but their methods were special.
Under such circumstances, if other powerful members of the Cangxuan lineage were to assist them, it would undoubtedly benefit both the Star Sea Ancestor and the future development of the Star Sea Pavilion.
He did not intend to change the structure of the Cangxuan lineage, but planned to continue as before, condense all the power of the Cangxuan Realm, and jointly plan the path of cultivation.
……
at the same time.
At the foot of Demon Rock Mountain, the many Cangxuan lineage cultivators who had gathered here to protect Ancestor Xinghai were overjoyed to see that Ancestor Xinghai had successfully broken through to the next realm.
"The ancestor is truly extraordinary. I never expected that he would directly reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in one go."
"With him in charge of our Cangxuan lineage in the future, our Cangxuan lineage will undoubtedly become stronger."
"And the lives of us cultivators of the Cangxuan lineage will probably be even better."
"..."
Many cultivators of the Cangxuan lineage were overjoyed.
"Master is truly a role model for us, setting a good example for all cultivators in the Cangxuan Realm."
"Moreover, in this way, Master can also reduce a lot of trouble, without having to spend time collecting spirit materials to break through the realm and try to break through the realm a second time."
"Instead, one can use the remaining lifespan and family wealth to try to plan for a higher realm, or even a realm above the Nascent Soul stage."
Elder Xingqing breathed a sigh of relief and revealed countless expectations.
"Judging from the extent of Ancestor's breakthrough this time, Ancestor will at least be comparable to the incomparably powerful Radiant Star Dao Lord of the Radiant Star Immortal Sect in the future."
"Furthermore, with the Ancestor breaking through to the next realm, the probability of our Cangxuan lineage seizing the opportunities within the Ancient Ghost Domain will greatly increase soon."
Ling Pengyun looked up at Demon Rock Mountain, his brows furrowed with joy.
"Thank you all for your help and protection this time. Please accept my next bow."
At this moment, Ancestor Xinghai temporarily emerged from seclusion, slowly descending from the summit of Vajra Demon Rock Mountain, and bowed to everyone in gratitude.
His polite gesture reassured the Four Immortals Alliance, the Righteous Path Alliance, and other forces within the Cangxuan lineage.
Previously, they were somewhat worried that after Star Sea Ancestor reached the peak of the Divine Transformation realm, he would go solo.
However, given the current situation, it's highly likely that the Star Sea Ancestor doesn't have such thoughts.
"Ancestor, you are too kind."
Ling Pengyun and the others smiled and said that they then took out many high-level spiritual items as gifts.
However, the Star Sea Ancestor did not receive the gifts for nothing. Instead, he took out many fine items and sought out high-level spiritual chefs such as Yan Siyi to cook a variety of high-grade spiritual dishes to entertain everyone.
Because those spiritual foods contained a great deal of spiritual energy and tasted quite delicious, everyone ate them with great pleasure.
Even the relationships between the people couldn't help but get a little closer.
The atmosphere of the entire Cangxuan lineage became even more prosperous.
……
at the same time.
Because the Star Sea Ancestor's previous breakthrough was extremely commotion, even though the Star Sea Ancestor was in the extremely hidden Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm, some powerful figures in the Heavenly River Realm still subtly sensed something was amiss.
They all headed towards the former territory of the Vajra Demon Rock Sect, which was connected to the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm.
now.
Tianhejie Central Area.
Deep within the 'Yaoxing Small Mountain Range' of the Yaoxing Immortal Sect, the most powerful force in the Heavenly River Realm.
Inside a cave dwelling in the fifth-tier, top-grade Radiant Star Valley.
'The potential and luck of the Cangxuan lineage are truly astonishing. Unexpectedly, only a few decades after the previous turmoil, they have already produced a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation.'
'Furthermore, judging from the immense aura of the previous disturbance, the one who successfully broke through this realm should be Fellow Daoist Xinghai from the Cangxuan lineage.'
'Besides this person, the Cangxuan lineage also has another fellow Daoist with equally good potential, the Five Elements Daoist…'
Upon closer examination, the Cangxuan lineage poses a truly significant threat to our sect's position.
Yao Xing Daojun used a special pupil technique, his eyes were filled with a layer of starlight, and his eyesight was greatly enhanced, so much so that it was as if he could detect the previous anomalies from a distance of countless miles.
Furthermore, his apprehension towards the Cangxuan lineage only intensified.
Moreover, with the emergence of a new Nascent Soul Perfection expert in the Cangxuan lineage, the number of forces in the Tianhe Realm possessing Nascent Soul Perfection experts has returned to three.
The other two sects are the Shining Star Immortal Sect and the Silver Moon Wild Bear Clan.
However, the Shining Star Immortal Sect and the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear Clan have a deep-seated hatred for each other.
Yaoxing Daojun had no immediate thoughts about the Cangxuan lineage, but the emergence of a new Nascent Soul cultivator in the Cangxuan lineage greatly increased the pressure on him.
'Regardless, we must cultivate a new cultivator to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.'
"Otherwise, given the nature of the Cangxuan lineage, I fear that even if they continue to form a righteous alliance with my Yaoxing Immortal Sect and other righteous forces to jointly deal with external enemies like the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear Clan."
'I estimate that even my Radiant Star Immortal Sect will find it difficult to maintain absolute control. If there are any gains, they will likely take a significant portion.'
Its development is estimated to be even faster.
Daoist Yaoxing secretly made up his mind. (End of this chapter)
