Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

The golden-armored man didn't spare a glance, casually slapped his surroundings, causing a violent tremor in the void. Invisible Law Fluctuations expanded at the speed of light, instantly enveloping the main peak.

Yu Xuantong felt alarm bells ringing in his mind, instinctively cried out in dismay, as a beam of green light suddenly burst from his head.

The green light twirled around, transforming into a Bronze Ancient Shield, blocking above his head.

Only to see the ancient shield glow with green light, and from its surface emerged a Bronze Giant Turtle, nearly a hundred feet tall with pillar-like legs, encircled by green light, heavy as the sea.

This shield was an Ancient Treasure with endless might, something Yu Xuantong relied upon to be invincible among cultivators of the same Nascent Soul stage.

However, he was ultimately short-sighted, completely unaware that no matter how strong the Spiritual Turtle Shield was, it could not withstand attacks from the Law level.

Golden light surged like a tide, catching up from behind the fleeing Yu Xuantong. The Spiritual Turtle Shield had no effect, as the golden light swept over it in the blink of an eye, engulfing Yu Xuantong entirely.

From then on, Yu Xuantong never appeared again, and the Da Chun Realm lost a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!

The remaining two Nascent Souls were so terrified their liver and gall were ruptured. They fell to their knees, begging for mercy, not daring to look up for fear of offending the Supreme Venerable.

This tactic was indeed effective!

The golden-armored man did not continue attacking but slowly walked out of the transmission array, starting to ask where this place was and what realm this was, among other simple questions.

The two Nascent Souls dared not hide anything, rushing to answer the man's questions.

Upon learning that this was the Da Chun Realm, he suddenly looked up to the sky, let out a cold laugh, then clenched his right fist and punched out into the void...

A golden fist shadow soared into the sky, instantly morphing into a golden meteor several miles wide, blasting into the air,

With a thunderous boom, two light clouds violently expanded and exploded.

The originally empty-looking sky suddenly blossomed with myriad dazzling lights, followed by the appearance of a Seven-Colored Light Realm enveloping the entire peak in mid-air.

Countless colorful spiritual texts flickered constantly on the surface of the Seven-Colored Light Realm, weaving into dragon-like prohibition rivers that continuously circulated, emanating a terrifying pressure.

The prohibition rivers rushed towards the golden fist light, constantly suppressing and dissolving the Law Power contained within the fist light.

The golden fist light rapidly dimmed at a visible speed until it dispersed completely!

The prohibition rivers scattered, causing the Seven-Colored Light Realm to dim slightly.

"Hmm, interesting! This barrier seems to even temporarily isolate the Void Realm, I wonder which fellow Daoist designed it." The golden-armored man nodded and commented indifferently.

"But such a minor trick, how can it trap me?"

After speaking, the golden-armored man let out an arrogant laugh, and a beam of golden light shot up from behind him, swiftly transforming into a colossal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiling like a mountain.

The moment the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon condensed, it lunged out, shaking its head and tail, and charged fiercely towards the sky.

With a deafening "boom,"

The entire void nearly shattered, the Seven-Colored Barrier first erupted with unprecedented dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire Lichen Island as bright as day.

Immediately after, the Seven-Colored Barrier trembled violently, almost collapsing, with the seven-colored light rapidly dimming.

Just as the barrier was about to crumble, a figure suddenly materialized in mid-air.

"Supreme Venerable, please stay your hand! I shall open the barrier." Jingwu True Monarch shouted anxiously from below.

The golden-armored man seemed to have anticipated his presence, showing no surprise.

Moments later, the Seven-Colored Light Realm gradually vanished.

Jingwu True Monarch descended in perturbation, bowing deeply from afar and respectfully saying, "Lower realm cultivator Jingwu, pays respect to the Supreme Venerable! Small cultivator—"

Boom~boom~

Before Jingwu True Monarch could finish his sentence, his words were cut off by the rumbling thunder.

At this moment, countless pitch-black tribulation clouds appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire heavenly vault instantly. Deep within the tribulation clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, destruction-seeking breath rapidly accumulated, aiming to obliterate a presence affecting the realm's Heavenly Dao.

The golden-armored man's face changed slightly upon seeing the arrival of the heavenly tribulation, immediately suppressing his aura, quickly reducing his presence.

"Ha, the Heavenly Dao of this Constant Sand World is so petty. However, suppressing strength to the late-stage Divinity Transformation is barely sufficient in this remote realm. True old thief, just wait! The vendetta of seizing Dao shall be repaid a hundredfold!" muttered the golden-armored man, retracting his Golden Dragon Dharma Image.

Swiftly, the sky-filled tribulation clouds dissipated, but all the Nascent Soul ancestors on Lichen Island were already alarmed, emerging from seclusion and flying towards the main peak.

Jingwu True Monarch, witnessing the approaching tunneling light, felt increasingly unsettled.

He sneaked a glance at the golden-armored man, lips slightly parted, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Before long, dozens of Nascent Soul ancestors knelt down, kowtowing to the proud golden-armored man in salutation.

One night later, Lichen Island overseas had its first Island Master. And the Da Chun Realm was about to experience a period of turmoil.

...

In the early morning, the world was shrouded in dense mist, with clouds and mist rising upon the first layer of the Da Chun Divine Tree, a gentle breeze blew.

At this moment, a beam of tunneling light suddenly flew up from a courtyard in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

The tunneling light flew several miles away, suddenly swooping down, traversing through layers of branches, quickly arriving before the enormous tree hole at the tree trunk.

With just a brief pause, the tunneling light swiftly entered the tree hole, vanishing from sight.

"Xi'er, you've arrived!"

The moment he entered the tree hole, Zhao Sheng immediately heard Fei Hong Ancestor's kind and aged voice beside his ear.

Zhao Sheng reached the depths of the tree hole to find Fei Hong Ancestor emerging halfway from the tree wall, looking at him with a full smile.

"Grandson greets the ancestor." Zhao Sheng approached and saluted.

Fei Hong Ancestor had him stand, then joked with a laugh, "You little scoundrel, usually you don't come to see me unless there's something up. Speak, what's the matter this time?"

Zhao Sheng feigned embarrassment and emphasized, "This time it's big news! Ancestor, do you recall Fengfengzi's matter? It has now been resolved, and the harvest from this trip might exceed the ancestor's imagination."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, a dazzling spiritual light flashed, revealing a heap of treasures like a small mountain piled densely on the ground. Among them, a small pile of crystal-clear Jade Bone stood out prominently.

"Hmm? Hmm?? This... these...!"

Hundreds of magical treasures haphazardly piled together like scrap, the impact of this scene was so overwhelming that it made Fei Hong Ancestor stutter in shock.

However, in the next moment, Fei Hong Ancestor heartbrokenly cursed, "This, this... such wastefulness! Why have good magical treasures become such wreckage! Treasure Restrictions and spirituality all gone...gone. Truly... infuriating the old man!"

These magical treasures had been dormant in the Endless Corridor for countless years, with their internal Treasure Restrictions having collapsed over the long ages, finally dissipating entirely.

It could be said that this heap of treasures was only slightly better than scrap metal, merely retaining their outward forms but empty inside.

Of course, if one could find matching Treasure Restrictions and begin refining them from scratch, in decades or a century, they would become formidable magical treasures again.

Nonetheless, Zhao Sheng was already overwhelmed by handling the more precious treasures, having no time to spare for these "junk," simply handing them all over to Fei Hong Ancestor to deal with.

"Hmm, Xi'er, are you really handing over these magical treasures? Although they're mere treasure embryos, combined they're... excessively precious, the family..."

Before he could finish, Fei Hong Ancestor hesitated, then abruptly changed his tone, "This is what we'll do; if you ever want anything, go to the family Treasure Vault and take it as you please! If the vault doesn't have what you seek, tell the old man. I'll have Bai Mei find it, trade it, in short, you won't be disappointed."

"Grandson doesn't need anything for the time being, these treasures can all be handed over to the family Treasure Vault."

Upon these words, Fei Hong Ancestor's expression froze.

Even though these treasures were nearly useless, they'd be rare finds on the market. Giving them up without reason—could it be his demands were so vast that even the Chen Family couldn't bear it?

For some reason, Fei Hong Ancestor suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart sank.
