Chapter 558: The Appearance of Master Tianqiong and the Birth of Chen Mingzhi
After a scramble, the number of people on the street decreased by ninety percent. Most people logged off immediately after the scramble, but three or four individuals felt confident in their skills and bravely lingered.
Holding a giant's head in his arms, Zhao Sheng walked up to Fengfengzi, his expression calm, and asked, "I'm about to leave, but before I do, may I boldly ask, how might I meet you again in the future?"
Fengfengzi replied indifferently, "In the past thousand years, I have frequently been active in Gray Mountain, Black Desert, and Endless Tower. If we are destined, we will meet again. If not, it is all the will of Heaven."
After hearing this, Zhao Sheng, highly perceptive, caught onto a certain word and pointed to the gray mountain hundreds of miles away, questioning, "Gray Mountain? Could it be... referring to this place?"
"Indeed!" Fengfengzi nodded.
Zhao Sheng's mind raced as he analyzed more information hidden in the other party's words.
The "Burial Immortal Ruins" he mentioned should refer to Space Immortal Heaven.
However, since they don't know the truth, they use "Burial Immortal Ruins" as a code name.
Moreover, the crossing point is not just this one place; there might exist countless time-space gathering points like "Gray Mountain."
Just as Zhao Sheng was lost in thought, Fengfengzi suddenly waved his large sleeve, and a Jade Scroll shot out from a pile of treasures, flying toward him.
Zhao Sheng snapped out of it, immediately reaching out to grab the Jade Scroll, his gaze showing slight surprise as he looked at Fengfengzi.
"Little one, I see you possess some potential, so I shall forge a bond with you. Take this 'Space-Time Hundred Objects Chronicles' as a gift," Fengfengzi said.
With a look of delight, Zhao Sheng promptly bowed, "I dare not decline the elder's gift! I will always remember the grace of your bestowed treasure!"
As the two spoke, clusters of Pale Vortex slowly appeared and several new travelers arrived on the long street.
Seeing the increasing number of people, Zhao Sheng bid farewell to Fengfengzi.
As others began to stir, he suddenly started to dissolve, disappearing without a trace.
...
Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Cultivation Room.
In midair, a cluster of Pale Vortex suddenly appeared, and Zhao Sheng's form transitioned from illusion to reality, condensing into a living person in an instant.
Returning to the real world, he immediately stored the giant's head and fragments of flesh and bone into the Sumeru Space, then shed his robe, cast the Cleaning Technique, and finally skillfully changed into a new set of robes.
At the same time, a large amount of pure Spiritual Energy gushed forth from his body.
With the experience from last time, Zhao Sheng remained unfazed, sweeping the Jade Powder off the floor with a flick of his sleeve, then sat cross-legged, methodically absorbing the Spiritual Energy, skillfully refining it into droplets of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Power.
Unsure how much time had passed, when the last wisp of nature's spiritual energy was successfully refined, his cultivation had slightly improved, nearly reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.
By now, the top-grade Calming Spirit Incense in the censer had almost burned out.
Zhao Sheng's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long column of air, and his right index finger suddenly flickered with light as the Harmonization Stele appeared out of thin air, falling into his palm.
As soon as this treasure appeared, Treasure Light soared to the sky, countless Essences of the Tao swirled on the stele's surface, and each Taiyi Spiritual Text seemed to come alive, emanating an unfathomable Law aura.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng panicked and without hesitation, put the Harmonization Stele back into the Sumeru Space.
He was mistaken!
Mistaken to underestimate Fengfengzi!
Who would have thought the so-called game piece possessed such terrifying power, clearly a top-grade Magical Treasure containing profound secrets?
If one could comprehend the mysteries of this treasure, it would surely have a profound impact on the future path of the Tao.
If it were any other cultivator, this might enable them to soar to great heights, eventually breaking through to the Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation.
At the instant the Harmonization Stele appeared, Fei Hong Ancestor, meditating deep inside the Da Chun Divine Tree's heart, was abruptly awakened.
"Huh, this is... Law Fluctuation! No, where did it come from?"
Fei Hong Ancestor's expression changed several times, then, with a thought, a vast Divine Thought expanded overwhelmingly, enveloping a radius of a thousand miles in an instant.
As a fellow practitioner with the Tree Venerable, Fei Hong Ancestor, aided by the Divine Tree's power, his Divine Thought was amplified to a degree akin to a Divinity Transformation True Monarch.
Even so, Fei Hong Ancestor could not pinpoint where the fleeting Law Fluctuation was emanating from.
Unwilling to concede failure, he repeatedly searched with his Divine Thought, eventually alarming the Chen Family's Golden Core Masters, but to no avail.
Family Head Chen Daqian, believing a great enemy was upon them, hurried to the Ancestor's cave mansion to pay respects, only to be dismissed by Fei Hong Ancestor with a couple of sentences.
For a time, the Chen Family Golden Core Masters were bewildered, clueless as to why such a commotion was raised by the Ancestor for no apparent reason.
A few days later, Zhao Sheng inadvertently learned of the matter from Chen Dacheng, realizing an unexpected incident had occurred.
From then on, he never took out the Harmonization Stele within the Divine Tree's domain, fearing to alarm Fei Hong Ancestor again.
...
Winter ends and spring comes, and all things revive.
The Da Chun Divine Tree stands like a majestic giant peak between heaven and earth.
The sprawling lush canopy covers a thousand miles. Beneath, the land is a sea of green as countless spiritual medicine and plants thrive year after year under the protection of the Divine Tree, gradually maturing.
Boom boom!
Approaching noon, a rumbling boom erupted from an abandoned courtyard.
